Venerable Cleopa of Sihăstria was known for his powerful sermons and love for the simple life. A story goes that while he was a shepherd boy, he was once told by an Angel that he would become a monk. He was also known for his great humility, and love for the #Blessed VirginMary. He often said, "The Mother of God is the only one who can help us."

Venerable Cleopa, pray to God for us, that we may be worthy of your intercessions!
