Venerable Sofronie of Cioara, a Romanian Orthodox monk, was known for his profound humility and love for God. He was a simple man, a shepherd, and a confessor. One striking event reveals his sanctity: during a Tatar invasion, he stood fearlessly before the invaders, unarmed, and through prayer, miraculously calmed their fury, saving his village from destruction. His unwavering faith and trust in God's protection were his weapons.

Venerable Sofronie, pray to God for us and for the protection of all who seek refuge in the Holy Name!
