In the face of communist oppression, Bishop Theotim of Tomis stood unwavering. Arrested in 1948, he endured imprisonment, forced labor at the Danube-Black Sea Canal, and solitary confinement. Even in the brutal conditions of Gherla prison, his spirit remained unbroken. Released in 1964, he returned to his diocese, a living testament to faith's enduring power.

Lord, grant Bishop Theotim's courage to all who face persecution.
