Calinic of Cernica, born in Bucharest, showed a deep love for God early on, entering Cernica Monastery as a young man. Known for his wisdom and dedication, he became abbot, revitalizing monastic life and restoring the monastery. He emphasized prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Later, as Bishop of Râmnic, he focused on the poor and needy, building schools and churches. His life exemplified humility and service, leaving a lasting impact on the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Let us pray that Bishop Calinic's example inspires us to a life of service and devotion.
