Repost from late in the last bread…
Interesting….I remember that murder. New Jersey Federal Judge Esther Salas was working on the Deutsche Bank suit regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Some men's rights wacko tried to take her out, but shot her husband and killed her son instead.
New Jersey College Student Who Sacrificed His Life for His Parents May Become a Saint
n July 2020, a young Catholic college student from the United States was killed in an extraordinary act of courage and love.
Now, five years later, his story may lead to sainthood.
The Diocese of Metuchen, New Jersey, has announced the formation of a commission to study the possible canonization cause of Daniel Mark Anderl, a student at the Catholic University of America who died at age 20 while protecting his parents from an armed attacker.
On July 19, 2020, Daniel was at home with his parents when an armed man—a lawyer with a case pending before his mother, federal judge Esther Salas—appeared at their front door.
Realizing the danger, Daniel stepped between the gunman and his parents, shielding them and taking the fatal bullets himself.
His selfless act of protection became known as a true “offering of life”—an expression used by the Church to describe those who die out of love, in the light of the Gospel.
Shortly after his death, dozens of parishioners from St. Augustine of Canterbury Parish, where Daniel had served as an altar boy and youth minister, sent a letter to Bishop James F. Checchio in August of 2020. In it, they officially requested the opening of Daniel’s canonization process.
The petition asked that the study begin based on the criteria for the offering of one’s life as detailed by Saint John Paul II and Pope Francis.
