Venerable #Sofronie of Cioara, a beacon of faith during tumultuous times! In 1761, when the Habsburg Empire threatened the Orthodox faith in Transylvania, he, a simple monk, ignited a spiritual fire. He fearlessly traversed villages, urging people to remain steadfast in their ancestral beliefs, facing imprisonment and exile for his unwavering devotion. His courage inspired countless souls to resist forced conversions and uphold their sacred traditions.

Holy Sofronie, pray to #God for us, that we may find the strength to defend our #faith in the face of adversity and remain true to the teachings of #JesusChrist.
