Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Cancer in Remission
Blythe, Bend · July 25, 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 wanted to write to you. A few months ago, I asked your team to carry a prayer card for my sister, Angela. She had been diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer and was starting treatment. I felt so helpless, and sending that prayer to St. Peter's was something tangible I could do. I received the photograph of the card, and I kept it on my kitchen windowsill. Last week, her doctor told her the latest scans show the cancer is in remission. She still has a long road, but this is the best news we could have hoped for. I am just so relieved. Thank you for this quiet service. It gave me a small anchor in a very stormy time. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
