In 1944, as bombs fell near Putna Monastery, Bishop Leontie of Rădăuți, frail and elderly, refused to leave. "Here I am and here I remain," he declared, comforting frightened monks and refugees. When a bomb struck, damaging the church, he led prayers amidst the rubble, his voice unwavering, his presence a beacon of hope amidst destruction. He then organized the evacuation of the wounded and secured food and shelter for those displaced. His courage inspired everyone, demonstrating faith in the face of death.
May his example inspire us to stand firm in our faith during times of trial. #OrthodoxChristian #BishopLeontie #Faith #Courage #Prayer
