Peter Mogila, a Moldavian nobleman who chose the monastic life, revitalized the Orthodox Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. As Metropolitan of Kiev, he founded schools, defended Orthodoxy against Catholic influence, and reformed church practices. His most enduring legacy is the "Orthodox Confession," a catechism clarifying Orthodox doctrine, approved by several patriarchs, that served as a crucial theological guide for centuries.
Lord, grant us wisdom and strength to defend the truth as Peter Mogila did.
