Summary/Abstract: In our study we will try to bring to light, as much as the bibliographical sources allow, the image of a great scholar, monk and confessor in the Communist prisons, metropolitan Antonie Plămădeală.Sufferance in the Communist prison and not only there was and still remains, in a spiritual sense, the interior frame of the prodigal son. It is always necessary to have a renewal. To such a renewal, metropolitan Antonie Plămădeală was also subjected. He tried through sufferance to resemble the Model – Christ and to become himself a model for the future generations. Our father is part of the academy of great spirits assigned to confess the teaching of the eternal Teacher and Bishop, our Lord Jesus Christ, fathers Iustin Pârvu, Cleopa Ilie, Daniil Sandu Tudor, Bartolomeu Anania, Roman Braga, Dumitru Stăniloae, C. Voicescu. But the real list of those who suffered is endless... May their memory, the example of their life and activity be eternal !
