In his youth, Arsenie (later Cleopa) faced conscription. Ordered to a military unit, he prayed fervently. A severe snowstorm struck, rendering the roads impassable. The army couldn't reach his village, sparing him from service. He saw this as God's direct intervention, confirming his path to monasticism. This miraculous event solidified his resolve to dedicate his life to God.

Let us pray to #VenerableCleopa, that through his intercessions, God's will be done.
