Born Gheorghe Țepelea in 1934, Ghelasie experienced communist prisons for his faith. Released, he became a monk at Râmeț Monastery. Despite Securitate surveillance, he revitalized monastic life, emphasizing prayer and spiritual guidance. After 1989, he played a key role in restoring churches and promoting #Orthodox education. His life was a testament to unwavering faith amid adversity.

Lord, may the prayers of Ghelasie of Râmeț continue to guide us on the path of righteousness. Grant us strength to emulate his resilience and dedication to You. #Prayer #Faith #Monk #Romania #GodIsGood
