Venerable Basil of Poiana Mărului, a beacon of monasticism in 18th-century Romania, shaped spiritual life through his profound teachings and monastic reforms. As abbot, he revitalized Poiana Mărului Monastery, emphasizing prayer, asceticism, and communal living. His disciples carried his spiritual legacy throughout the Romanian lands. Oh, Venerable Basil, intercede for us that we may emulate your devotion and unwavering commitment to Christ. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Monasticism #Romania
