Saint Callinicus of Cernica: A Life of Prayer and Service

from Saints and Scripture · host Saints and Scripture

Today we remember Saint Callinicus of Cernica, who served as bishop of Ramnicu Valcea in Romania. Born in 1787 in Bucharest, he entered monastic life at a young age and became known for his strict asceticism, deep prayer, and care for others. Saint Callinicus led the monastery of Cernica for many years before reluctantly accepting the role of bishop. He was known for his miracles, spiritual wisdom, and dedication to building churches and caring for the poor. He reposed in 1868 after a life of humble service.Support the show
