My Sister's Pain is Gone After Her Prayer for Cancer

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 you a holy card for my sister, asking for comfort and strength in her fight against the cancer that had spread to her bones. The pain was very bad. I received the beautiful photograph of the card in St. Peter's, and I showed it to her. She held it and prayed.
That was last month. I don't know how to explain it, but her doctors have been able to manage her pain so much better now. She is sleeping through the night for the first time in a year, and she has the energy to sit in the garden with me. The last scans showed the disease is still there, but her spirit is lighter. She says she feels carried.
Thank you for your team's gentle service. It meant the world to us to have our prayer taken to that sacred place.
With gratitude,
