A friend of mine told me today that in his church (Boston area) they celebrated the Liturgy today and venerated the relics (from the cut fingers) of Saint Philoumenos!!! Already in USA, his presence. May the righteous Martyr intercede for us all to God!

Dear Jonathan, you are right priests should pray for the soul of Father Daniil... However when *I* am asked to pray for him, I think 'Who am I to pray for him?! Father Daniil is interceding for us in front of God!' Don't these saintly, or martyred souls go straight to Heaven like eagle, or bullet without any barriers? I do not know exactly, but so I have heard. Maybe one of the Fathers here can tell us.
