My Oncologist Called It Remarkable, My Faith Calls It a Blessing

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, carrying a prayer for my mother. She was facing her second round of treatment for lung cancer, and the fear was heavy for all of us. I sent her name and my prayer for strength and healing on a card to your team. Since her last scans in January, the doctors have found no new growth. Her energy is returning. She is back in her garden. We do not know what the future holds, but we have this quiet peace and this present grace. Thank you for carrying our prayer to that holy place. It was a light in a dark time. With gratitude,
