Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, a shepherd of souls in 17th-century Romania, traded noble lineage for monastic solitude. Renouncing earthly honors, he embraced the Iezeru Monastery's humble life, dedicating himself to prayer and transcribing sacred texts. When drought threatened the land, villagers implored Anthony for help. Guiding them in fervent prayer, he ascended the mountain, striking the rock with his staff, from which sprang forth a life-giving spring, saving the people from despair.
Holy Anthony, intercede for us, that we may find such living waters in our own lives!
