Venerable Sofronie of Cioara, a simple shepherd, felt a deep calling to the monastic life. He traveled to Mount Athos, but a vision guided him back to his homeland. He then established a skete near Cioara, living in extreme poverty and austerity. Known for his gift of tears and profound prayer, he healed the sick and prophesied. One chilling event involved Sofronie foretelling a devastating plague that would befall the region. Though people mocked him, his words came true. He is revered as a confessor for his unwavering faith.
Holy Father Sofronie, pray to God for us!
