With a radiant smile, pediatric physician María Dolores Rosique, who goes by “Lola” among family and friends, recounted with renewed faith her testimony of healing after overcoming aggressive abdominal cancer. She testifies that her recovery began after visiting the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis in Assisi, Italy, and placing herself completely under his care.
“I always say that the illness I had has given me many more good things than bad. One of them is having reaffirmed my faith. Today I know that without the Lord I am nothing and can’t achieve anything,” she said in an interview with ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner.
In 2022 Rosique, a 44-year-old Spaniard and pediatrician by profession, was enjoying one of the best times of her life with her husband, Pablo, her three teenage daughters aged 17, 15, and 12, and her 7-year-old son. However, it was then, in the midst of a family trip to the Italian region of Tuscany, that her life took an unexpected turn, having to undergo a trial that would challenge her faith.
The physician confessed that earlier that year she had been feeling somewhat unwell: “I had digestive discomfort in my abdomen. I went to the doctor and had ultrasounds, they even asked me to have an endoscopy. I had those tests done and everything came out fine,” she related.
