Bishop Joseph, enduring imprisonment and torture for defending Orthodoxy during the Communist regime, never wavered. Despite immense pressure to renounce his faith and denounce fellow believers, he remained steadfast, offering silent resistance and fervent prayer. His refusal to compromise inspired many to secretly keep their faith alive. Even in confinement, he served as a beacon of hope, administering sacraments in secret and offering spiritual guidance to his fellow prisoners. May #BishopJoseph intercede, that we stand firm in our convictions, unwavering in the face of adversity. #OrthodoxChristian #Saints #Prayer #Confessors #Maramures
