My Tumors Have Reduced Significantly

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 with thanks. For months I carried the heavy news of my diagnosis—metastatic cancer that had spread to my liver. The doctors spoke of very difficult treatments ahead. I wrote out a simple prayer for strength and for the healing power of God to work through my doctors. I sent it to your team to be carried into St. Peter's. The peace that came from knowing my prayer was there was a great comfort. Last week, my latest scans came back. The oncologist was surprised. The tumors have reduced significantly. There is still a long road, but this is a hopeful turn. Thank you for this quiet service. It felt like a hand on my shoulder when I needed it most. Yours,
