A Peace I Haven't Known in Months

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you about my wife, Lena. She had just started treatment for breast cancer and the fear was so heavy on us both. We were so tired. I asked your team to carry a prayer for her strength and for our family to find some calm in all of it. The day I received the photograph of the card in St. Peter's, I felt a little lighter. It was a small thing, but it felt like a hand on my shoulder. Since then, Lena has finished her first round of treatments. The side effects have been difficult, but her spirit is stronger. She says she feels carried, and I do too. We don't know what the scans will show next, but the dread has been replaced by a quiet hope. Thank you for carrying our prayer to that holy place. It was a comfort when we needed one most.
