Calinic of Cernica, before becoming a monk, was a shepherd. Once, tending his flock, he saw a wolf attacking his sheep. Filled with compassion, he rushed to defend them, wrestling with the beast until it fled. He then realized that just as he protected his sheep, he must also protect the flock of Christ. Pray that #Calinic guides us to be brave shepherds of our souls, defending the vulnerable with unwavering #Faith and love. May his example inspire us to resist evil and embrace #Virtue in all we do.
