Answered Prayers and a Birthday Song (Family Rosary Across America)

On Family Rosary Across America, the week’s highlight began with a beautiful thanksgiving. Susan from Spartanburg, South Carolina, shared that just two days after asking for prayers to find a nursing home for her 91-year-old mother, an opening became available, despite being told it would not happen. It was the third time she had sent in a prayer request, and the third time she received an answer. She also asked for prayers for her friend Viola, who is battling cancer.

Then came a sweet moment from 15-year-old Jules in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania. She called in to pray for her great-grandfather Jack, who had just turned 93. When Fr. Rocky heard the news, he invited Maggie to sing Happy Birthday on the air, turning a simple prayer intention into a joyful family celebration.
