Six-year-old Daniel and eight-year-old Gabriel from Los Angeles brought an extra dose of joy to the Family Rosary Across America.
Gabriel called to pray for his grandpa on his birthday and for his own upcoming birthday in July. But Daniel had another request: Could Fr. Rocky and Maggie sing “Happy Birthday” for them?
Maggie happily obliged, adding another birthday celebrant to the song: Pope Leo!
Then Fr. Rocky turned the tables. He asked Daniel and Gabriel if they could sing “Happy Birthday” to the Holy Father. The brothers enthusiastically agreed.
“Happy birthday, dear Pope Leo,” they sang together, complete with a cheerful “cha-cha-cha!”
“Thank you, Daniel and Gabriel, with your wonderful spirit,” Fr. Rocky said.
It was a simple moment of prayer, family, and childlike joy. It was a birthday greeting Pope Leo would surely appreciate.
