Theotim, Bishop of Tomis, known for his extraordinary kindness, once encountered a group of Goths during their raids. Instead of fleeing, he offered them food and hospitality, appealing to their humanity. Touched by his generosity and moved by his words about God's love, the Goths not only ceased their plundering but also became protectors of the city, ensuring its safety from further attacks.

Lord, may Bishop Theotim's example inspire us to see the image of God in everyone and to respond to enmity with love and compassion.
