He established a rigorous spiritual discipline, emphasizing inner stillness and the Jesus Prayer. Disciples flocked to Poiana Mărului Monastery, drawn by his wisdom and the transformative power of his example. Even in the face of adversity, including resistance from those who found his strictness challenging, he remained steadfast, unwavering in his commitment to Christ.
