In his youth, Arsenie (later Cleopa) faced conscription. A recruitment officer, known for his stern demeanor, approached him. Arsenie, filled with faith, made the sign of the cross. The officer, upon seeing this, suddenly softened, stating, "You are too good to be a soldier; go to the monastery." Thus, through a divine intervention, Arsenie's path to monasticism was cleared, leading him to become the Venerable Cleopa, a guiding light in #Orthodoxy.
Let us pray to #Cleopa of Sihăstria, that through his intercessions, God may continue to guide us on our path to salvation. #Saints #Prayer #Faith
