Venerable Confessor Sofronie of Cioara, a simple monk, became a beacon of faith in 18th-century Transylvania when the Habsburg Empire sought to force Uniates to join the Catholic Church. Seeing his flock pressured to abandon #Orthodoxy, Sofronie, with only a shepherd's staff, ignited a spiritual fire, leading thousands to reclaim their ancestral #Faith. Despite facing imperial threats and imprisonment, his unwavering courage inspired the building of new Orthodox churches and the strengthening of Orthodox identity. O, Venerable Sofronie, pray that we may have such fortitude in defending the Truth! #Saints #Confessor #Prayer #Tradition
