During World War II, Metropolitan Elijah Iorest of Ardeal sheltered Jewish people in monasteries and church properties, providing them with false identity papers and helping them escape the Holocaust. He famously said, "What else could I do? They are our fellow human beings." His actions were a testament to his deep faith and commitment to protecting the vulnerable, regardless of their background.

Let us pray for more leaders with such courage & compassion to guide us today.
