On Family Rosary Across America, Fr. Rocky greeted Macklin, a young listener. They quickly discovered a sweet connection: Fr. Rocky had met Macklin’s grandmother at the Walk to Mary in 2025, and the family hoped to see him again at this year’s pilgrimage.

But the moment took a deeper turn when Fr. Rocky asked for Macklin’s prayer intention. Macklin explained it wasn’t really a prayer intention, but instead a prayer of gratitude. “I finally have a father,” he said.

Fr. Rocky affirmed this great blessing as a gift and an answer to years of prayer, both for Macklin and for his whole family. A father’s presence, he noted, can bring stability, comfort, and a stronger foundation for a home.

The exchange was brief, but it carried a powerful reminder: God hears all of our prayers, especially the ones whispered for our families over many years. And sometimes the “best of the week” is simply a child’s quiet thank you, and a family’s new beginning.
