Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, born into wealth, abandoned it all for monasticism, finding solace in a cave at the remote Iezeru Monastery. He devoted himself to prayer and transcribed theological texts and hymns. His most renowned work, a Romanian translation of the Scala Paradise, earned him recognition for his profound spiritual insight. Despite his desire for solitude, his wisdom drew many seeking guidance.

Pray that #SaintAnthony, through his intercessions, may inspire us to embrace humility and seek divine wisdom. May his example guide us to prioritize spiritual riches over worldly possessions, that we may glorify #God. #OrthodoxSaints #Monasticism #RomanianOrthodox #Prayer
