Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Cancer Is in Remission
Elara, Burlington · March 10, 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 wrote to ask your team to carry a prayer for my sister, Greta, who was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The doctors had said it was very serious. I felt so helpless being so far away, so I sent the prayer card. I received the photograph of it at St. Peter's, and it gave me a great sense of peace. Last week, we got the news that her latest scans show the cancer is in remission. The treatment went better than anyone expected. I don't know what will happen next, but for now, we are so grateful for this good news. Thank you for providing this comfort. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
