Theotim, Bishop of Tomis, renowned for his profound humility and unwavering dedication to the poor. When Emperor Valens, an Arian heretic, offered him gold, Theotim refused, stating his only treasure was caring for his flock. Later, barbarians threatened Tomis, but Theotim, unarmed, met them with kindness and prayers. Impressed by his holiness, they left in peace, converting to Christianity afterward.

Lord, may we emulate Theotim’s selfless love and unwavering faith.
