A delightful experience.
A priest who is about 70 years old was celebrating Mass in a small chapel of his religious community. At the end of the Mass one of his brothers in the community mentioned that it was his birthday. A sister in the chapel started singing Happy Birthday and we all joined in.
A wonderful fact I didn’t know is that when Columbus brought the first tiny groups of Indians to Spain, they were to be given as slaves to prominent noblemen. But Isabella, the Queen was horrified about that idea and said she would have anyone who gave them as slaves with death. Instead they were ordered to send the Indians back to Hispaniola on the next boat. |
