Calinic of Cernica, as a young monk, faced a severe test of obedience. His elder ordered him to plant a dried-up stick in the ground and water it daily, despite its obvious lifelessness. Calinic obeyed without question for three years. Miraculously, the stick sprouted, becoming a verdant tree. This unwavering obedience became a testament to his faith and humility.
Let us pray that Bishop Calinic’s example of obedience inspires us to serve God’s will with unwavering faith.
