Saint Calistrat, a monk from Timișeni, was famed for his unwavering obedience. Once, his abbot ordered him to plant a dry stick in the monastery courtyard and water it daily. Without question, Calistrat obeyed for three years, even though the stick remained lifeless. One day, the stick miraculously sprouted into a fruitful tree, a testament to his faith and obedience to his Elder. Let us pray to Saint Calistrat, asking that through his example, God cultivates unwavering faith within us, bearing spiritual fruit for the glory of His name.
