As a young priest, Father John of Galeș faced immense pressure from the communist regime to inform on his parishioners. He refused, choosing imprisonment and torture rather than betray his flock. Even in the labor camps, he continued to serve secretly, hearing confessions and offering spiritual guidance to his fellow prisoners. His unwavering faith and courage inspired many to persevere through hardship. Pray that #FatherJohn's example helps us stand firm in our beliefs amidst adversity and that his prayers guide us to always choose truth over fear. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Courage #Prayer #Faith
