Ghelasie, a monk at Râmeț Monastery, faced Securitate's pressure to betray his faith during Romania's communist era. He refused collaboration, enduring interrogations and threats. His unwavering resolve inspired fellow believers. After 1989, he played a key role in restoring monastic life in Transylvania, becoming Archbishop. His life exemplifies resisting oppression through faith.

Lord, may his example strengthen us to stand firm in truth.
