Venerable Germanus of Dobrogea, a beacon of faith in 14th-century Romania, embraced the solitary life, choosing the harsh beauty of the Dobrogea region. Legend recounts how he tamed a wild lion, a testament to his deep communion with God and the animals of the wild. This act of peace and divine favor not only protected him but also drew others to his humble abode.
O Holy Germanus, pray for us, that the untamed beasts of our souls may be subdued by grace and that we may find refuge in God's love.
