During communism, Ghelasie, a monk at Râmeț Monastery, secretly tonsured many nuns, defying the regime's ban on monastic life. He transformed the monastery into a vibrant spiritual center, attracting countless pilgrims through his powerful sermons and profound teachings. His unwavering faith and courage inspired resistance against oppression, making Râmeț a beacon of hope in dark times. He endured interrogations and threats but remained steadfast.

Lord, may Ghelasie’s spirit of defiance against worldly powers inspire us to stand firm in our faith today.
