During World War II, Fr. Sophian, then a young monk, was arrested for helping Jewish people escape the Nazis. He faced interrogation and imprisonment, remaining steadfast in his faith and commitment to Christ's love. His courage and compassion exemplified true Christian virtue, saving lives at great personal risk.

Lord, through the prayers of #Sophian, grant us strength to stand for truth and justice, and to love our neighbors as ourselves, regardless of the danger. May his example inspire us to acts of #compassion.
