In the face of communist oppression, Bishop Antim Nica of Tulcea stood firm. When authorities demanded the church's valuables, he refused, declaring, "These belong to God and the people!" For this act of defiance, he endured imprisonment and torture, never wavering in his faith. Bishop Antim's unwavering courage inspires us to uphold truth and righteousness, even in the face of adversity. Let us pray for Bishop Bretranion to emulate Bishop Antim, continuing his work with boldness and conviction, guiding the faithful in truth and love.
