Theotim, Bishop of Tomis, known for his profound wisdom and ascetic life, once encountered a group of Goths who sought to test his faith. Feigning poverty, they asked for alms. Theotim, discerning their deceitful intentions, offered them not only material goods but also spiritual guidance, turning their hearts from malice to repentance. His gentle demeanor and insightful teachings transformed potential enemies into devoted followers.

Lord, inspire us to emulate Theotim's wisdom and compassion. May his example lead us to convert hearts through love.
