Answered Prayers for Cancer
Peace and Strength After My Cancer Diagnosis

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 thank your team for carrying my prayer request into St. Peter's. Last autumn, I was diagnosed with cancer and felt so overwhelmed. I asked for prayers for peace and strength to face the treatments ahead, and to accept whatever path God had for me. After you carried my prayer in November, a quietness settled in my heart that I hadn't felt since the diagnosis. The chemotherapy has been difficult, but I have been able to face each day with more courage than I thought I had. My family says they see a change in me, a kind of calm. I don't know what the future holds, but I feel carried. Thank you for this quiet work you do. It meant a great deal to me.
