Gregory IV, the Teacher, stood firm against Phanariote influence, advocating for Romanian language in the liturgy and establishing schools. He was a beacon of national and spiritual identity, battling corruption and promoting education during turbulent times. His legacy reminds us of the power of faith combined with cultural preservation.
Lord, inspire us to protect our traditions and languages as Gregory did, for the glory of Your name.
