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 wrote to you in February, carrying a prayer for my sister Celeste. She was scheduled for a very complex spinal surgery. The fear was overwhelming. I sent her name and the prayer for a successful operation and healing to your team. I received the photo of the card in St. Peter's shortly after. The surgery went ahead. It was long, but the surgeons said everything went as well as it possibly could. The recovery has been slow, but steady. She is now home and managing her pain. She can walk with a walker, which they said was a very good sign so soon after. We don't take any of this for granted. I just wanted to thank you for carrying our prayer during that anxious time. It gave us a quiet point of focus. With gratitude,
