God, under carefully controlled laboratory conditions, will do whatever he wants to do:

“The doctors conducted detailed tests. They had to wait several hours for their results. In Madrid, Giménez went to the hospital chapel again.
“I no longer prayed for his healing, but for him to be able to come to terms with his passing,” Giménez says. He was already running out of hope that the tragic situation could change and that his son would overcome his terminal illness.
Giménez spent the entire night in prayer. In the morning he went to meet with the doctors. He heard from them that his son was healthy. There was no trace of the cancer!
“His body is clean. It’s as if the cancer was never there. We don’t know what happened, but it’s all gone,” the hospital staff explained.
Fernando couldn’t believe what had happened.
“What do you mean? Is his cancer in remission?” he asked.
From a medical point of view, there was no explanation. Giménez had no doubt that the 20-year-old’s healing was the result of prayer through the intercession of John Paul II. He tells Aleteia:
The doctor gave us a written report and we started on our way home. We made the entire car trip practically in silence, crying and thanking God. It was a great Tuesday of 2009. After arriving in our city, we went directly to the parish, and before the Blessed Sacrament gave thanks once again. A few days later we had a consultation at the hematology department of the University Hospital of Albacete with the doctor in charge of our son’s case. I couldn’t believe what I saw in the report. The result was the same as before. We were asked not to stop the treatment and to see it through to the end. Every day I prayed in front of the picture of John Paul II that I took from the hospital chapel.”
