Answered Prayers for Cancer
Peace During Treatment

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you asking you to carry my prayer for strength as I go through chemotherapy for breast cancer. I was feeling so afraid of the side effects and the unknown. After you carried my prayer to St. Peter's, something shifted in me. The fear hasn't gone away completely, but it's quieter now. I feel a sense of peace I hadn't felt since my diagnosis. The treatments are still hard, but I can face them with more calm. Thank you for your service and for your team's quiet work.
