During World War II, Fr. Cleopa, while at Sihăstria Monastery, hid Jewish families fleeing persecution in the monastery's forests. He provided them with food and shelter, risking his own life to protect them from the Nazi regime and its allies. He saw it as his Christian duty to help those in need, regardless of their background.

Lord, through the prayers of #VenerableCleopa, guide us to act with courage and compassion, defending the vulnerable and standing for truth.
