--- Theotim, Bishop of Tomis, known for his great charity, once gave all his possessions, including his cloak, to a poor, shivering beggar. Later, as he celebrated the Divine Liturgy, an angel appeared, clothed in the very cloak he had given away. This miracle revealed Theotim's profound love and God’s recognition of his sacrifice. Lord, guide us to emulate Theotim’s compassion. \#saints \#OrthodoxChristian \#Charity \#Faith \#Miracle
During World War II, Metropolitan Elijah Iorest of Ardeal sheltered Jewish people in monasteries and church properties, providing them with false identity papers and helping them escape the Holocaust. He famously said, "What else could I do? They are our fellow human beings." His actions were a testament to his deep faith and commitment to protecting the vulnerable, regardless of their background. Let us pray for more leaders with such courage & compassion to guide us today. #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #WWII #Prayer #Courage
Venerable Cleopa once encountered a wolf on the road. Instead of fear, he felt compassion. He knelt, prayed for the wolf, and commanded it in the name of Jesus Christ to go into the forest and harm no one. The wolf, as if understanding, turned and disappeared into the woods. His profound faith transformed a fearsome beast into a symbol of obedience to God's will. Let us pray to #VenerableCleopa, that through his intercessions, God may grant us the strength to overcome our fears and transform our own inner "wolves" into meekness and love. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Faith #Miracle
