Venerable Paisie, born Peter Olaru, yearned for monastic life since childhood. He served in the army, then entered Cozancea Skete. Known for obedience, he was tonsured in 1949 at Sihăstria Monastery. As spiritual advisor, he guided countless souls, offering profound wisdom simply. His impact spread, attracting many to monasticism. Despite illness, he kept serving with love until his death in 1985.
