Venerable Cleopa, a spiritual guide, lived a life of profound asceticism. During World War II, he sheltered Jewish people in the forests near Sihăstria Monastery, risking his own life to protect them from persecution. Later, he became known for his powerful sermons, filled with theological depth and practical advice, attracting thousands seeking spiritual guidance. His teachings emphasized repentance, prayer, and love for God and neighbor.

Lord, grant us wisdom to discern truth and courage to defend the vulnerable, as Venerable Cleopa did.
