Calinic of Cernica, born in Bucharest, demonstrated a fervent dedication to monastic life from a young age, entering Cernica Monastery at 20. Known for his deep spirituality and administrative skills, he became abbot and later, Bishop of Râmnic. A prolific writer and translator of theological texts, he revitalized monastic life and education. His legacy is marked by his commitment to liturgical renewal and social work, founding schools and hospitals.
Pray that #BishopCalinic continues to inspire spiritual renewal and compassionate service within the #church and beyond. May his example of devotion and scholarship guide us in our own pursuit of #holiness. May we all be inspired by his works to serve with love. #OrthodoxChristian #Faith
