Answered Prayers for Cancer
A Peaceful Transition for My Mother
Mireille, Burlington · April 8, 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 asked you to carry a prayer for my mother, Teresa, who was very ill with lung cancer. I sent it with a hope for comfort, for her not to be afraid. After you wrote that the prayer had been placed in St. Peter's, a change came over her. The anxiety she had been carrying seemed to lift. Her final days were peaceful, and she was able to say her goodbyes to all of us. She passed gently last week. I wanted to thank you and your team for carrying our request to that sacred place. It helped me to know it was there. Yours, Mireille
