Dear Fr. Marco, earlier this year I wrote a prayer for my husband's upcoming heart surgery and sent it to you. He was so anxious about the procedure and the recovery time the doctors said he would need. I asked for peace for him and for the surgeon's hands to be guided. I received your photograph of the card in St. Peter's and felt a quiet hope. The surgery itself went very smoothly, and his recovery has been progressing well. The doctor said yesterday that he is healing faster than they anticipated. He is already back to doing light tasks around the house. I just wanted to write and say thank you to you and your team for carrying our prayer.
