Wooden Icon of Saint Theodore the Studite, Saint Reverend Abbot
Saint Theodore lived in the 8th century. The life of the monk Theodore was truly ascetic. He worked at the hardest menial jobs. He strictly observed the fast, confessed every day to his spiritual father, the elder Platon, revealing to him all his deeds and thoughts, and carefully followed his advice and instructions. Every day, Theodore devoted time to spiritual reflection, stood before God with a soul unclouded by any worldly cares, performing, as it were, some secret service to Him. Saint Theodore unfailingly read the Holy Scriptures and the patristic works, among which the works of Saint Basil the Great were closest to him.
After several years of monastic life, at the insistence of his spiritual father, Saint Theodore took the rank of presbyter. When blessed Platon retired, the brethren unanimously chose Saint Theodore as abbot of the monastery. Bowing to the desire of his spiritual father, the Venerable Theodore accepted this election, but with it he took upon himself even greater feats. He instructed the brethren by the example of his virtuous life, as well as by heartfelt paternal teachings.
