The Reading
"To the Lord our God belongs mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us." - Daniel 9:9-10

| The vision of the prophet Daniel by Luigi Sabatelli |
Reflection by Philip Cantone
I chose this scripture because we named our 4th son Daniel. We knew that good character is very important in a person's life. Daniel, the great prophet of God, is a true example of a man with impeccable character. He and three of his friends knew and trusted the God of Israel and followed his laws and commands. They were determined to remain faithful to their God and His laws. In uncertain times like these, it is good to remain faithful and steadfast (as much as possible) even when all seems lost.
