July 21
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Daniel the prophet.
A Hebrew noble of the 6th century, deported to Babylon where he served the kings of the Persian empire. He refused to bend his convictions in the face of imperial power, risking death to remain faithful to his conscience. His wisdom and unshakeable integrity allowed him to survive and influence the decisions of the greatest rulers.
What stays with us: We learn that integrity is not a weakness, but a strength capable of resisting the strongest pressures. He reminds us that keeping one's head high, even when isolated, is a universal act of courage.
