Bishop Leontie of Rădăuți, a beacon of faith in troubled times, faced immense pressure from the communist regime to betray his flock. In 1948, when the authorities demanded he sever ties with the Romanian Orthodox Church and join a state-controlled entity, he stood firm. Despite threats and intimidation, Leontie refused to compromise his spiritual integrity or abandon his people. His unwavering resolve inspired many to remain steadfast in their faith. Let us pray that his example helps all the servants of God to remain courageous in the face of adversity and be protected from harm.
