Gregory IV, the Teacher, Metropolitan of Ţara Românească, faced a formidable challenge in the 1821 Wallachian uprising. As revolutionaries threatened societal order, Gregory bravely intervened, negotiating with rebel leaders to prevent bloodshed in Bucharest. His efforts averted widespread violence and protected civilians, demonstrating his dedication to peace and his flock's well-being.

Lord, may Gregory's wisdom and courage inspire leaders today.
