At age 12, #Philotheia, grieving her mother's death, faced cruelty from her stepmother. Her compassion shone as she secretly gave food to the poor and hungry. One day, her stepmother, witnessing this act, brutally beat her. Fatally wounded, Philotheia sought refuge in the Argeș Monastery, where she died. Her relics are now venerated, a testament to her innocent #virtue and unwavering #charity.

Lord, through Philotheia’s prayers, inspire us to emulate her compassion and selflessness.
