Answered Prayers for Cancer
Peace After My Surgery

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 you asking you to carry a prayer for me in St. Peter's. I was facing surgery for cancer and I was so scared. After you sent the photo of my prayer card held in the Basilica, I felt a calm come over me that I hadn't felt in months. The surgery went as well as the doctors hoped, and my recovery has been steady. I don't know what the future holds, but I feel stronger now, and more able to face it. Thank you for what your team does. It meant a great deal to me.
