During the communist regime in Romania, a woman came to #Confession to Father John, tormented by guilt. She had been pressured to abort her child. Father John, with immense compassion, told her, "You are not guilty. They are guilty who forced you. Go in peace." He then took upon himself her sin, fasting and praying intensely for her and her child's soul. It was said that Father John bore the spiritual weight of countless others, becoming a beacon of hope in a dark time. May his intercessions guide us to repentance and healing. O Lord, have mercy on us! #Priest #Forgiveness #Romania #OrthodoxFaith #Repentance
