Fr. Eusebius, even though he was old enough to be my biological father, was instead one of the many "spiritual fathers" who spoke into my life and I was the better for it. While Fr. Eusebius and I didn't always agree on every point, I respected him for his COURAGE for standing up to the hierarchs when he felt he needed to address an issue. Unfortunately he paid dearly for his courage. I will miss him. MAY HIS MEMORY BE ETERNAL!
