Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, a shepherd who left his flock to embrace monasticism, carved his cell into the very rock of the mountains. Through unceasing prayer and asceticism, he became a beacon of light, his heart a flame of divine love. Even in solitude, he guided countless souls to Christ.

Lord, may the prayers of Saint Anthony illuminate our paths, and fortify our spirits!
