During the communist regime in Romania, Priest John of Galeş fearlessly defended his flock. He was known for his powerful sermons and unwavering faith, which attracted many believers despite the risks. One day, a secret police officer attended his service, hoping to find grounds for arrest. After the sermon, the officer approached Father John, intending to intimidate him. Instead, Father John looked at him with such profound love and compassion that the officer broke down in tears, confessing his sins and renouncing his loyalty to the oppressive regime.

Pray that Father John's courage inspires us to stand firm in our faith, even in the face of adversity.
