In a communist prison, Fr. Arsenie was brutally beaten and forced to renounce his faith. He refused. The guards mocked him, saying, "Where is your God now?" Fr. Arsenie, bruised and bleeding, looked up and replied with unwavering faith, "He is exactly where He always is: in my heart."

Holy Father Arsenie, pray to God for us, and inspire us to hold steadfast in faith, even in the face of adversity. #OrthodoxChristian #Confession #Faith #Perseverance #Prayer
