Answered Prayers for Cancer

Doctors Say My Mother Is In Remission

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 wrote to you some time ago with a heavy heart, asking you to carry a prayer to St. Peter's for my mother. She has been battling cancer for a long time, and her strength was fading. I felt so helpless being so far away. Sending the prayer card to your team felt like a small, tangible thing I could do to feel connected to her and to a larger hope. This past week, her doctors said her latest scans are clear. They are calling it a remission. I know the journey is not over, but this is a period of grace we did not expect. Thank you for your part in carrying our prayer.
