In the twilight years of a crumbling empire, Theotim, Bishop of #Tomis, stood as a beacon of faith. Facing barbarian incursions and the erosion of Roman authority, he negotiated with the Goths, even learning their language, to protect his flock from harm. He was known for his humility and generosity, once giving away his own cloak to a shivering beggar. His wisdom was sought by all, and his courage never wavered, even when facing threats to his own life. May his example inspire us to find strength in faith and compassion in action.
