Join us in praying the Novena for Cancer!

Cancer is a very common disease in our modern world. It can afflict many different parts of the body and can sometimes even affect young people. 

Cancer can cause a lot of physical suffering and can often be deadly. Many medical professionals work to treat those with cancer, to alleviate the sufferings of those with cancer and to search for a cure for cancer.

A struggle with cancer can be full of mental suffering in addition to the physical suffering, both for those afflicted with cancer and for their loved ones. 

We may never fully understand why such sufferings as cancer are permitted by God, but we do know that we can make use of all our sufferings by offering them in union with the sufferings of Jesus.

Those affected by cancer are in great need of our prayers. Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for Cancer, that God may pour out His grace and assistance to all who suffer from cancer.
