Ghelasie, once a simple monk, faced the communist regime with unwavering faith. Ordered to betray his vows and renounce monasticism, he refused, enduring imprisonment and torture. His spirit remained unbroken, a beacon of resistance. After the fall of communism, he became Archbishop, rebuilding churches and hearts.

Lord, may Ghelasie's example inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs. May his intercessions guide us toward truth and righteousness.
