Thank you all for your prayers. In March and at the turn of April, I asked for urgent prayers for the recovery of Sylwia (my goddaughter), whose duodenum—an organ that heals very poorly—was damaged by doctors after the removal of her gallbladder. The hospital discharged Sylwia home after two days, and then tragedy struck: abdominal pain, strong medications, the ER, and a diagnosis that surgery was needed. The doctor they encountered at the ER did not dismiss this pain, but instead performed a series of tests during which he diagnosed a ruptured duodenum. Surgery and intensive care followed, as her condition was critical. How to help? Only prayer, a quick decision for a Holy Mass for her recovery, asking for prayers on social media profiles of friends and prayer groups. The response was very great, for which we are very grateful 😍. After everything she went through, Sylwia's faith wavered a bit; she is a 16-year-old girl and, as she put it, she felt very let down by God, having spent the entire Lent and Easter in the hospital without food or drink. We talked a lot about our daily cross, and even now Sylwia is thinking about a Holy Mass for healing and in thanksgiving for her recovery. I am writing a Testimony for the first time and a bit chaotically, but I believe there will be others, and I will certainly be better at writing them. Once again, may God repay you for your prayers; I will continue to pray for your intentions and I entrust you all to the care of the Mother of God and her son, Jesus Christ. May God repay you. ❤️
