In the 1950s, during Romania's communist regime, Bishop Bretranion of Tomis openly defied government oppression by conducting clandestine religious services and protecting church properties from confiscation. He was arrested and imprisoned for years, enduring torture and isolation. Despite immense pressure to renounce his faith, he steadfastly refused, becoming a symbol of resistance and unwavering devotion to #God. Let us pray that Bishop Bretranion's courage inspires us to stand firm in our beliefs, even in the face of adversity. May his example strengthen our resolve to live according to God's will.
