My Sister's Leukemia in Remission After Treatment

Calliope, Bend · November 13, 2025

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 am writing to share good news. Last month, I had you carry a prayer card for my sister, Angela. She was diagnosed with acute leukemia and had just started a very difficult round of chemotherapy. We were all so scared. I sent the prayer asking for strength for her and for the treatments to work. I just got the photo of the card from your team, and it meant so much to know it was there. Yesterday, her doctor told us her latest bone marrow tests show she is in remission. The treatments are working. She still has a long road, but this is the hope we needed. I am so grateful. Thank you for providing this way to connect our prayers to that holy place. With gratitude,
