Venerable Nicodim of Tismana, a 14th-century Romanian monk, dedicated his life to the monastic ideal. He established several monasteries, including Tismana, which became a beacon of spiritual and cultural life. A key moment highlights Nicodim's humility: when a devastating fire threatened Tismana, he, instead of panicking, prayed intensely. The fire miraculously stopped at the monastery's walls, sparing it from destruction. His unwavering faith and devotion to God are legendary.

Venerable Nicodim, pray to God for us! May your intercession bring us closer to Christ and guide us in His ways.
