During the communist regime in Romania, Bishop Antim Nica of Tulcea was arrested for defending the faith. When authorities tried to force him to renounce his beliefs and collaborate, he steadfastly refused. Despite enduring imprisonment and torture, he remained a beacon of resilience, secretly supporting and encouraging other persecuted believers. He exemplified unwavering faith in the face of oppression, a testament to his commitment to God.

Lord, may all clerics emulate the boldness and faith of Bishop Antim, fearlessly proclaiming Your truth and defending the persecuted.
