1. The first time I heard the story of Fr Daniel it hit me like a gut punch. This beautiful young man with a beautiful young family in fire for God had his light extinguished because some maniac was angry at his light. Then I realized that his light was not extinguished. It’s been magnified many times over. If Fr Daniel died - would I am English speaker in America have ever heard his name? Would I have ever gotten to read his writings? Memory Eternal Fr Daniel! Pray for us!

Amen, ZaidoBoBaida! Very true!
