Theotim, Bishop of Tomis, known for his profound compassion, once encountered a group of Goths suffering from starvation outside the city. Moved by their plight, he emptied the church's treasury, using the funds to purchase food and provide aid, thereby saving them from certain death. His act of charity impressed even their pagan leader, winning him respect and opening doors for future missionary work.
Let us pray that the example of #Theotim inspires us to acts of radical #charity and love towards those in need, that we may reflect the #compassion of #Christ in our own lives.
