Father Arseny, former scholar of church art, became Prisoner No. 18736 in the brutal x26#34;special sectorx26#34; of the Soviet prison camp system. In the darkness of systematic degradation of body and soul, he shone with the light of Christx27s peace and compassion. His sights set on God and his life grounded in the Church, Father Arseny lived by injunction to x26#34;bear one anotherx27s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christx26#34; (Galatians 6:2). This narrative, compiled from accounts of Father Arsenyx27s spiritual children and others whom he brought to God, gives stirring glimpses of his life in prison camp and after his release.
