Thoughts of Blessed Hieromartyr Iuliu Hossu from his “Memoirs”

On June 2, 2025, Mother Marcela Runcan, OSBM, Archimandrite of the Sisters of St. Basil the Great, attended the Liturgical commemoration of Blessed Hieromartyr Iuliu Hossu, a Romanian Greek Catholic Bishop and Cardinal of the Roman Church. Blessed Iuliu had distinguished himself in the defense of the Jews during World War II and died as a result of the Communist persecution in Romania. The commemoration took place in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, where Pope Leo XIV delivered an address to the attendees.
