Peter Mogila, Metropolitan of Kiev, faced immense pressure to unite the Orthodox and Catholic Churches in the 17th century. Though a proponent of closer ties, he staunchly defended Orthodox doctrine. One day, while celebrating the Divine Liturgy, a Catholic nobleman dramatically entered the cathedral, demanding Mogila proclaim union with Rome. Unflinching, Mogila continued the service, his powerful voice filling the space, reaffirming the Nicene Creed. The nobleman, awestruck by his conviction, left without further disruption. O Lord, grant us the strength of faith!
