In the heart of communist Romania, Ghelasie Gheorghe, a physics graduate, abandoned his scientific pursuits to embrace monasticism at Râmeț Monastery. Facing persecution, he embodied unwavering faith. Even after brutal interrogations by the Securitate, he emerged unbroken, continuing to inspire others with his courage and devoutness. His resilience became a beacon of hope and defiance against oppression, proving the enduring power of faith in the face of adversity.

Lord, may the example of Ghelasie inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs.
