Successful Surgery and Peaceful Recovery

This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.

Dear Fr. Marco, I sent a prayer card asking for strength and protection for my son, Leo, as he faced major spinal surgery. The weeks leading up to it were filled with such fear. I was so grateful when the photograph arrived, showing my prayer held in St. Peter's. The surgery took place last Tuesday. The doctors said it went as well as it possibly could have. He is now home, resting. His pain is being managed, and he is already doing his gentle exercises. I don't know what the long-term outcome will be, but I feel a deep sense of peace about this first, hardest step. I wanted to thank you and your team for carrying our worry to that sacred place. It felt like we were not alone. Blessings to you.
