Answered Prayers for Cancer

Clear Scans and a Quiet Heart

Maren, Boise · September 3, 2024

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 and your team, a few months ago, I sent you a prayer for my husband, who was facing another round of treatment. We were both so weary. I asked that you carry a request for strength and for peace, whatever the outcome might be. I held onto the photograph you sent. Last week, he had his scans. They are clear. There is no sign of the disease. We know the road is long, but this is a moment of grace we did not expect. More than the result, which is a gift, I feel a stillness I haven't known in years. The fear has loosened its grip. Thank you for carrying our prayer into that sacred space. It felt like we were not alone.
