A Roman Catholic priest’s act of kindness for an old friend results in an unexpected and miraculous outcome, leading to a humorous twist years later.
On his way to Rome, a priest encounters his old friend Mary, who reveals her and her husband’s struggle with infertility. The priest promises, “I promise to light a candle for you in the great cathedral.” Five years later, Mary’s husband Robert visits the priest with astonishing news: “Mary and I now have two sets of twins and a pair of triplets, and I just discovered she is pregnant with quadruplets!” Grateful yet overwhelmed, Robert offers the priest an all-expense-paid trip to Rome, explaining humorously, “It’s so you can blow out that damn candle.”
The priest’s simple gesture of lighting a candle in Rome led to an extraordinary blessing for his friends, showcasing the power of faith and the unexpected turns life can take.
