Bishop Theotim of Tomis, known for his profound humility, once faced a severe famine in his diocese. Instead of seeking aid from wealthy benefactors, he secretly sold his precious ecclesiastical vestments and liturgical items to feed the starving. When his clergy discovered his actions, they were dismayed by the apparent sacrilege. Theotim, however, gently reminded them that saving lives was a greater offering to God than preserving material wealth.
Lord, grant us the wisdom to prioritize compassion over possessions, following Theotim's example of selfless love.
