It's not easy being Catholic today, but if we look at the story of Israel in Salvation history, we can find great strength and consolation. Today, Dr. Sri teaches us how to live as strangers in a strange land by looking at prophet Daniel in the Bible and how he remained faithful to God in times of persecution.
