Answered Prayers for Cancer

My Sister's Surgery Went Well and She's Recovering

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 about my sister. When we found out she needed surgery for cancer, I asked your team to carry a prayer card for her to St. Peter's. I was so worried, and it gave me some comfort to know her name was being prayed for there. Her surgery was last week, and it went better than the doctors expected. They were able to remove everything they needed to. She is home now, and her recovery is going slowly but steadily. The fear is still there, of course, but it's a little easier to breathe. Thank you for providing this quiet way to reach out. Blessings to you and your team.
