Bishop Joseph, steadfast in faith, faced immense pressure from the communist regime in Romania. Refusing to compromise his spiritual integrity or betray his flock, he was arrested and imprisoned. Enduring harsh conditions and relentless interrogation, Joseph remained unyielding, his spirit unbroken. His unwavering commitment to Christ and the #OrthodoxChurch inspired countless believers to persevere in their faith despite persecution. May his example strengthen our resolve to stand firm in truth. Let us pray for his continued intercession, that God may grant us the courage to defend our beliefs.
