Venerable Basil of Poiana Mărului, a beacon of monasticism in 18th-century Romania, revitalized spiritual life through profound writings and discipleship. As abbot, he transformed Poiana Mărului Monastery into a center of theological learning and ascetic practice. His teachings emphasized inner vigilance, ceaseless prayer, and the pursuit of divine virtues. Disciples spread his spiritual renewal across the land.

Holy #Basil, pray that we embrace a life of prayer. May the #OrthodoxChurch be filled with compassion, and may our hearts turn to Christ. #Saints #Asceticism #Romania
