Venerable #Sophian of Antim, a beacon of spiritual resilience during Romania's communist era, faced immense pressure to compromise his faith. Yet, he stood firm, his words a comforting balm to the suffering, his life a testament to unwavering belief. He rebuilt Antim Monastery, transforming it into a haven of hope. His wisdom guided countless souls back to Christ.

O Holy Father Sophian, intercede for us, that we may find the strength to emulate your steadfastness in the face of adversity.
