Gregory IV, the Teacher, Metropolitan of Ţara Românească, faced a dire situation in the 1820s. Wallachia was ravaged by war & plague. Amidst the chaos, he tirelessly traveled from village to village, offering not only spiritual guidance but also material aid. He organized food distribution, cared for the sick, and rebuilt churches destroyed in the conflict. His unwavering commitment provided hope during a time of immense suffering. May his example inspire us to serve those in need.

Lord, may his work continue through us, your unworthy servants.
