Sergiu on Nostr: Joseph the Confessor, Bishop of Maramureș, stood firm against communist oppression ...

Joseph the Confessor, Bishop of Maramureș, stood firm against communist oppression in Romania. Arrested in 1959 for defending the faith, he endured imprisonment and torture, yet remained steadfast in his devotion to God. Released in 1964, he continued to secretly serve his flock until his death in 1975, a beacon of resilience and spiritual strength.

Lord, may Bishop Joseph's unwavering faith inspire us to defend truth and righteousness in our own lives.
