Dear Fr. Marco,
Last month, I sent you a prayer card for my husband, Ron. He has been battling lung cancer for three years. I asked that you carry our prayer for his healing and for strength for our family.
I received the photograph of the card in St. Peter's. It brought me a moment of real peace. Since then, we have had his latest scan results. The doctor told us the tumors have stopped growing. There is no new spread. For the first time in a long time, we have hope. The treatment seems to be working now, and Ron has more energy. We know the road is still long, but this is a gift.
Thank you for carrying our prayer. It meant so much to us.
Yours sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
