Gregory IV, the Teacher, Metropolitan of Ţara Românească, faced a dire challenge when the plague ravaged Bucharest in 1813. Amidst widespread panic and death, he tirelessly ministered to the sick and dying, offering solace, administering sacraments, and organizing aid for the afflicted. He personally visited homes, defying the fear of contagion to bring comfort and support. His actions inspired others to overcome their fear and join him in caring for the city's suffering.

Lord, grant us the strength and compassion of Gregory to serve those in need.
