Venerable Cleopa, as a young monk, faced a severe test of obedience. His abbot ordered him to fell a large tree. Despite Cleopa's deep conviction that cutting the tree would harm the monastery, he submitted to his abbot's will without question. Later, the abbot revealed he'd tested Cleopa's obedience, a virtue essential for spiritual growth. Cleopa’s unwavering submission demonstrated true humility and trust in spiritual guidance.
O, Venerable #Cleopa, pray to #God for us, that we may have the strength to always choose obedience and faith over doubt, and follow the true path to salvation.
