I'm sure you already knew about the "Amazing Hiroshima Eight", but what I found profound was comparing them to Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago in the fiery furnace.
Yes! Thank you Paul - I meant to link to that after another commenter asked about that on Hiroshima Day. The story is truly remarkable and one of the greatest 'signal graces' of the rosary ever recorded. I love the analogy with the fiery furnace.
