During World War I, when Romanian soldiers were suffering from a typhus epidemic, Metropolitan Elijah fearlessly visited the infected, bringing them comfort and administering last rites. He contracted the disease himself but miraculously recovered, attributing his survival to divine intervention and intensifying his dedication to serving those in need. Let us pray that through his example, we too may find the courage to aid the suffering and see God's healing in times of despair.
