In the 1700s, Bishop Joseph the Confessor staunchly defended #OrthodoxChristian faith against forced unification with Rome. Arrested in 1744 and imprisoned in a Viennese monastery, he endured immense pressure to renounce Orthodoxy. Despite torture and isolation, Joseph remained steadfast. Upon his release, he was exiled, yet he continued to secretly serve his flock. His unwavering commitment inspired many to resist betrayal of ancestral faith.

Let us pray to Bishop Joseph, that he intercedes for us, fortifying our resolve to uphold truth and justice in these turbulent times. May his example of courage guide us. #Saints #Prayer #Confessor #OrthodoxWay
