My Mother's Tumor Has Shrunk Significantly

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 sent a prayer for my mother, Rosa, who was diagnosed with a tumor last year. I asked for strength for her and for the doctors treating her. After I received the photograph from your team showing the card in St. Peter's, I felt a sense of peace. Last week, her doctors told us the latest scans show the tumor has shrunk significantly. She is able to do more each day. Thank you for carrying our prayer.
