Priest-Confessor John of Galeş was known for his profound spiritual guidance and unwavering faith during the communist regime. He served the people of his village with love and wisdom, often facing persecution for his beliefs. One day, the authorities ordered him to cease his religious activities, threatening severe consequences. Fr. John calmly responded, "I must obey God rather than men." His courage inspired many to remain steadfast in their faith, and his humble spirit touched even the hearts of those who opposed him. May his example strengthen us to live according to God's will.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us! #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Saints #Courage #Faith
