During World War II, Fr. Arsenie (then a young monk) was assigned to care for a mortally wounded soldier. The soldier, writhing in agony, pleaded for death to end his suffering. Fr. Arsenie, deeply moved, knelt and prayed fervently for the soldier's healing or, if death was God’s will, for a peaceful end. As he prayed, the soldier's face relaxed, and he passed away serenely. This experience solidified Fr. Arsenie's conviction in the power of prayer and God's profound mercy.

Holy #Arsenie, pray to God for us!
