During World War II, Father Arsenie was arrested by the Gestapo and tortured for refusing to betray the Romanian Orthodox Church and his people. Despite brutal interrogations and threats, he remained steadfast in his faith, offering silent prayers for his persecutors. This act of unwavering courage and love, even towards his enemies, became a testament to his profound spiritual strength. Father Arsenie's resilience under duress serves as a powerful example of Christian fortitude.
Venerable Arsenie, pray to God for us!
