Summary/Abstract: The life of Father Ilarion V. Felea's life, in its various aspects, sacramentally, in the parishes in which he served, academically-scientifically, as a teacher at the Theological Academies of Sibiu and Arad, but especially the ordeal of imprisonment in Gherla and Aiud and his martyrdom in the Communist dungeon on September 18, 1961, places him among the great fathers of the Romanian Orthodox Church in the 20th century. From his writings, as from his life, emanates the authentic living of Orthodoxy, with full faith, even if in a hostile time and environment, both politically and confessionally. The present study aims, in a brief presentation based on the writings of Father Ilarion V. Felea, to reveal him, in the " Year of Prayer in the Church’s life and the Christian’s life", as a worthy example to follow in the confession of faith and in the practice of prayer.
