A photo report with a Romanian confessor after 19 years of torture
The communists took everything from us: they took our physical liberty, they took our wealth, our friends and relatives, our freedom of speech and expression – everything.
But they couldn’t enter into our souls to take God from there. And in this way we won the war against them, against our weaknesses and ultimately against the devil.
Only with the help of God can one survive 19 years of torture in prison. Everything else fails.
Based on Răducă Marin, Romanian confessor who spent 19 years in communist prisons
In these photos you can see mr. Marin Răducă speaking at Vatopaidi with monks and pilgrims.

Cat de mult imi doresc sa se introduca in cartile de istorie..adevarata istorie a neamului romanesc! Poate asa copii si tinerii nostri vor mai renunta la multitudinea de informatii (negative si false) ce vin din internet si chiar scoli.. Suntem bombardati cu exemple negative pentru a se dezechilibra neamul acesta plin de martiri. Ma bucur nespus cand vad cum incet, incet, apar aceste marturii din iad.. nadajduim inca..ca ne vom trezi! Si vom deveni, un popor, un neam, nu o tara cu.. atata populatie.. Va multumim pentru acest articol!

Așa este, suntem în mijlocul unui cumplit război informațional. Oamenii trebuie să aibă conștiința că sunt în război și că trebuie să lupte. Lupta aceasta se face, însă, prin agonisirea harului – adică rugăciune, fapte bune etc. – și prin evitarea inamicului, adică a presei celei rău-voitoare.
Să nu uităm că dacă în cazul unui armament convențional puterea de foc este dată în principal de specificațiile de fabricație, în cazul presei puterea de foc este dată în principal de slăbiciunea țintei.

This guy is a Martyr, and of course, he will be rewarded highly from God.
God bless him even more.
Thank you for sharing these stories to strengthen people in their faith.
God bless you all!

Amen! …what was/is amazing at him was/is his simplicity, his natural way of be, considering how many years he was tortured. He is a very small man.
