Peter Mogila, a man of noble birth and deep faith, chose the monastic life over worldly power. As Metropolitan of Kiev, he championed education, founding schools and a theological academy, revitalizing Orthodox learning in the face of intense pressure from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He spearheaded the creation of a comprehensive Orthodox catechism, the "Orthodox Confession," seeking to unify and strengthen the Church against theological challenges. This act faced scrutiny but ultimately became a cornerstone of Orthodox doctrine.

O Holy Peter, intercede for us, that we may be steadfast in faith and dedicated to learning, ever seeking to understand and defend the truth. #OrthodoxChristian #Education #Prayer #Saints #Theology
