Priest Martyr Ilarion Felea stood firm against communist pressure in Romania. Despite torture and imprisonment, he refused to renounce his faith or betray his flock. They offered him a high position if he would collaborate, but he chose Christ. His last act was giving communion to his fellow prisoners before his execution in 1959.

O, #SaintIlarion, pray to #God that we may have the same courage in the face of adversity. May your sacrifice inspire us to stand firm in our #Faith.
