Lenten Prayer Request

“What shall pass from history into eternity? The human person with all its relations, such as friendship and love." 

-Fr. Georges Florovsky

Taking a step away from children's book blogging, to take a moment to honor a dead father and humbly ask you to pray for the precious family he has left behind (a now widowed wife and six children).

Fr. Matthew, an outstanding Orthodox priest, died in a tragic car accident on his way home from Vespers this past Sunday night, during an evening snow storm in Connecticut. His children were with him, but were thankfully not injured.

Memory eternal.
