Bishop Joseph the Confessor, steadfast in faith, faced relentless persecution under the communist regime. Arrested in 1950, he endured imprisonment and torture for his unwavering commitment to #OrthodoxChristian beliefs. Despite suffering, he offered solace and spiritual guidance to fellow prisoners, becoming a beacon of hope in the darkness. Released in 1964, his health was shattered, yet he continued to serve until his death in 1975.

O Holy Bishop Joseph, pray that we may emulate your courage and unwavering dedication to God's will. May your example inspire us to stand firm in our #Faith, even in the face of adversity. #Saints #Prayer #Romania
