Venerable Sophian, as a young novice, struggled deeply with obedience. One day, his elder told him to water a dry stick planted upside down. Despite the absurdity, Sophian obeyed without question, watering the stick daily. After three years, the stick miraculously sprouted and grew into a tree, a testament to Sophian's unwavering obedience and faith.
O, Venerable Sophian, pray to God for us!
