During the communist regime, Priest John of Galeş fearlessly confessed Christ, offering spiritual guidance and solace to many. Once, a secret police officer, attempting to intimidate him, mocked the priest's worn-out cassock and simple life. Father John responded with profound humility, stating that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in spiritual riches and love for God. The officer, disarmed by his sincerity, left without uttering another word.

Let us pray that #FatherJohn intercedes for us, that we may find strength in humility and unwavering faith in the face of adversity. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Confession
