Dear Fr. Marco, I am writing to thank you. A few weeks ago, I sent a prayer for my sister, Annette. She was preparing for a serious spinal surgery and we were all very worried. I asked your team to carry a prayer for her strength and for the surgeon's hands. The day after you carried my card in St. Peter's, she went into the operation. The surgeon said everything went as well as it possibly could. Her recovery has been steady since she came home. She is walking a little more each day with less pain. It feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from our family. I am so grateful that my prayer was taken to such a holy place. Thank you for your service. Sincerely,
