Venerable #Sophian of #Antim, a spiritual father during Romania's communist regime, faced intense pressure to compromise his faith. Once, interrogated about his sermons, he replied with unwavering conviction, "I preach Christ, and I will not be silent." Despite threats and surveillance, his monastery became a sanctuary of prayer and resistance, offering solace and guidance to those seeking God's truth.
O Venerable Sophian, pray that we may find the strength to defend the faith in the face of adversity.
