cardinal virtue: fortitude: example of daniel

re: "daniel in the lion's den" (dan 6:10-18)
v10-11 "although daniel knew that the document [prohibiting worshipping any god other than king darius, the mede, for 30 days, cf. v7] had been signed, he continued to go to his house, which had windows in its upper room open toward jerusalem, and to get down on his knees 3 times a day to PRAY to his god and praise him, just as he had done previously. [11] the conspirators came and found daniel praying and seeking mercy before his god."
