House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a devout Catholic, shares how his faith helped him face life-threatening challenges—including a recent blood cancer diagnosis and treatment. After starting chemo immediately, Scalise underwent a stem cell transplant and spent weeks in isolation. He reflects on surviving a shooting at a congressional baseball practice, calling it a miracle and a turning point for his faith. Now in remission, Scalise says these experiences have strengthened his trust in God and shifted his perspective on what truly matters. His advice to others battling illness: God gives you strength and surrounds you with people to help—recognize those blessings, even in hardship.
