In the stillness of a Romanian forest, Iraclie, a simple shepherd, felt a divine calling. Leaving his flock, he sought solitude in a humble hermitage near the Dniester River. His days were filled with ceaseless prayer and fasting, his nights with vigils. Villagers whispered of his holiness, drawn by his gentle wisdom. When drought threatened their crops, Iraclie prayed fervently, and rain quenched the parched land. His love for God transformed a shepherd's life into a beacon of faith.

Holy Iraclie, pray for us, that we may have the strength to embrace God's call in our own lives!
