In the harsh Romanian winter, Father Arsenie found a young shepherd boy lost and freezing. He took him in, warmed him, and fed him. The boy, orphaned and destitute, had nowhere to go. Father Arsenie, though poor himself, gave the boy a home within the monastery. He taught him to read, write, and pray, nurturing him with kindness and faith. Years later, that boy became a skilled craftsman, using his talents to restore and beautify churches, his life a testament to the compassion he received.

Holy #Arsenie, intercede for us, that we may show such love. #Prislop #Confessor #OrthodoxSaints #RomanianChurch #Kindness
