Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Cancer in Remission
Cecilia, Boise · July 17, 2026
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 card for my sister who was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer last fall. The doctors gave us little hope, but we held on to faith. After I sent the prayer to your team to be carried into St. Peter's, we received the photograph of the card. It brought us such peace during those difficult days. Last week, her latest scans showed the cancer is in remission. The doctors are calling it remarkable. I don't know what the future holds, but for now we are so grateful for this time. Thank you for providing this comfort when we needed it most.
