Welcome, Holy Father, and ...

... Happy Birthday!

Yes, the Pope should have a birthday cake, too, right?

And as I searched a little further, I discovered that he was gifted with a papal birthday cake, U.S. style, during one of his stops on his visit around Washington, DC today!

Birthday Wishes

Pope Benedict, may your days among us be a time for clarity, renewal, and unity and may the challenges that face the Church in the United States today become an opportunity for more deeply becoming the Church God calls us to be.
