Venerable Cleopa, a beacon of Romanian monasticism, once faced a dire test of obedience. Instructed to care for monastery sheep, a sudden, fierce snowstorm threatened the flock. Despite the peril, Cleopa remembered his abbot's strict command not to seek shelter within the monastery walls during his assigned task. Enduring the blizzard's fury, he protected the sheep, praying fervently. His unwavering obedience and faith moved God, and the storm miraculously subsided, sparing both shepherd and flock. May his example inspire us to steadfast obedience and trust in God's providence. #OrthodoxSaint #Obedience #RomanianOrthodox #Prayer #Monasticism
