Venerable Sofronie, a simple monk, ignited a spiritual fire in 18th-century Transylvania when the Habsburgs sought to forcibly convert Orthodox Christians to Catholicism. He rallied thousands, choosing imprisonment and torture rather than betray his faith. His unwavering courage and powerful sermons strengthened the Orthodox community, preserving their spiritual identity amidst intense pressure.

Let us pray to #Sofronie, that his example inspires us to stand firm in our #faith and to defend the #Truth with humility and strength. May his prayers guide us toward #God. #OrthodoxSaints
