Imprisoned by the communist regime for his unwavering #Faith, Saint Ilie Lăcătușu endured unimaginable torture. Despite the brutality, he remained steadfast, offering solace to fellow inmates and continuing to serve God. He was known to pray for his persecutors, embodying Christ's love even in the face of relentless suffering. His resilience and devotion inspired many, even within the darkness of the prison. Saint Ilie, pray to God for us, that we may also find strength in our trials! #OrthodoxChristian #Romania #Confessor #Prayer #Persecution
