Dear Fr. Marco, I want to thank you for carrying my prayer card to St. Peter's Basilica. I had been struggling with severe hip pain for years, and my surgery was scheduled for mid-February. I asked for your service to take my prayer for a successful surgery and recovery. The procedure went as well as the doctors had hoped. The physical therapy has been challenging, but I am now walking with a cane and making progress each week. My pain is much less than it was before. Having the photograph of my card at the Basilica gave me such peace before the operation. Thank you to you and your team for this beautiful service. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
