Your ministry reaches across the globe, even 12 time-zones away in L.A. I know that moments like the one you described here make being away from home worth it, so my prayer is that you will have many more like it and that your prayers of blessing for the people around you will be as effective as the priest's were for you and those present. Thanks for sharing this story and the photos because it truly motivates me to keep plugging away in seminary.<BR/>In Christ,<BR/>dmkDana Michael Krullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422918165881007575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-17167311474404782772008-11-02T00:17:00.000-07:002008-11-02T00:17:00.000-07:00T, This is so deeply moving.

Gabriel, the little "giant in courage," is someone whose prayers we should request. Especially in light of the violence around his congregation. What a saint he must be and what a privelege for you. So when/if you're talking to Fr. Gabriel, let him know that you to pal around with folks who could use the prayers and blessings of certain Aramaic speakers.
