Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Mother is in Remission
Cecilia, Dubuque · December 26, 2025
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 last autumn asking you to carry a prayer for my mother, who was diagnosed with lung cancer. The card was for her strength and for the peace of our family. It was a very hard time. I sent the prayer to your team, feeling I had to do something, anything, to reach out. After many difficult months of treatment, her doctors told us last week that she is in remission. She is tired but getting stronger every day. I know the journey is not over, but this news is a great grace. Thank you for carrying our prayer to that holy place. With gratitude,
