Pictured here is nine-year old Jérémy Gabriel, un garçon quebecois with an unfortunate malady who was so moved by the events of April 2005 that he dreamed of being able to sing for the pope. His dream came true Thursday.
Here's the story from CNC News and here's an excerpt:
The song was Je louerai l'Éternel, which means "I will praise God."
The boy later had a private audience at the Vatican with the Pope, who hugged him and gave him a rosary.
Jérémy's parents and two sisters accompanied him to Rome for the occasion.
The boy had wanted to sing for the pontiff since he watched the funeral of Pope John Paul II on television last year and saw Benedict being elected as his successor.
Born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, the boy has had several operations to restore his hearing. He is frail and must receive blood transfusions every two weeks.
