St. Leontius is a model of life dedicated to God and to the service of the Church - said H.G. Bishop Ioan Casian. Spiritually eager since his youth, he becomes the abbot of an eremitic community. Personal dedication is interwoven with the spiritual and administrative care of the brethren in the community.

The special life of St. Leontius bring him in the position of hierarch on throne of Rãdãuți Diocese. Here's what the saint's life says: "While being bishop, he never ceases to accomplish his spiritual discipline. He ordained priests and deacons, consecrated churches, and kept watch over the canonical ordinances, guarding the exactitude (rigor) and the economy in all those things set by the Church of Christ for the salvific use in favor of his flock." We see in the life of the holy hierarch a balanced and harmonious union between a personal ascetic and spiritual discipline and a wider responsibility towards the Church and towards its faithful.

St. Leontius paid special attention to the use, both according to the exactitude (rigor) and according to the economy, of the measures that would bring salvific benefits. The words of St. Apostle Paul are reflected in St. Leontius' life: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12, 1 - 2).

St. Leontius is an example of a life deeply rooted in the religious vocation that does not lose sight of the ultimate goal - Christ, but which does not forget the wider responsibility of the shepherd of the Church who must take care of those entrusted to him. Love for Christ and for His Church is the focal point of the vocation of Rãdãuți hierarch.

His retiring towards the end of his life again at the monastery shows us precisely this profound humility and desire to fulfill perfectly the vocation he had felt in his early youth.
