Prayers for a Mother as She Battles Cancer (The Family Rosary Across America)

On the Family Rosary Across America, Fr. Rocky welcomed 8-year-old twins Liam and Caleb from Jacksonville, Florida. Both boys called with the same heartfelt intention: prayers for their mother as she battles cancer.

Liam shared that his mom had recently undergone major surgery and chemotherapy. Along with asking for her healing, he added another intention that reflected the innocence of a child’s heart: “I want the world to have peace, no war… and I want Mommy to have speedy recovery.”

Caleb echoed his brother’s faith-filled request. “Please pray for Mommy to help with her cancer problems… Please pray for speedy recovery too.”

Moved by their love for their mother, Fr. Rocky assured them that listeners across the country would join them in prayer.

“The whole country is going to pray for complete and speedy recovery of your mother because you love her so much. Please, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, come to her aid.”

Their call was a beautiful reminder that childlike faith trusts God completely and that no prayer is ever offered alone when the Relevant Radio family comes together in the Rosary.
