Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery
Walking Again After Spinal Surgery
Elara, Boise · January 23, 2026
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 through your team for my son, who had a very complex surgery on his spine. We were carrying a prayer for his healing and strength. The doctors said recovery would be long and hard, and he might not walk without aid. I sent the prayer to you. Since his card was carried in St. Peter's, his progress has been steady in a way that has surprised his physical therapist. Last week, he took his first steps without the walker. It’s a long road still, but this is a milestone we prayed for. Thank you for carrying our prayer to that holy place. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
