In the Romanian village of Galeş, nestled in the Carpathian foothills, lived Father John, a beacon of faith during the communist regime. One winter, a desperate woman sought him out; her husband, a political prisoner, was near death in a labor camp. The woman, Maria, begged for a miracle. Father John, despite the risk of surveillance, walked miles through the snow to Maria's home. There, before her family icon, he prayed fervently through the night. The next morning, a telegram arrived: her husband was released due to a sudden illness, a reprieve that saved his life. It was whispered throughout the villages that Father John's prayers had moved mountains, a testament to his unwavering devotion and a miracle in a time of oppression.

Lord, we lift up prayers to remember Father John and his courageous deeds. Guide us with his bravery and compassion in today's times.
