Venerable Confessor Sophian of Antim, born Victor Boghiu, faced imprisonment and torture for his unwavering faith during the communist regime in Romania. Despite immense pressure to renounce his beliefs, he remained steadfast, offering spiritual guidance to fellow prisoners and comforting them with his profound understanding of God's love. His resilience became a beacon of hope in the darkness of the communist prisons.

Let us beseech #Sophian's intercessions, that we may be granted the strength to stand firm in our #faith, even amidst trials. May his example inspire us to embrace #virtue and offer comfort to those who suffer. #Prayer #Saints
