Author: Walter Ciszek

Walter Ciszek was an American Jesuit priest known for his extraordinary resilience and faith, forged in the crucible of hardship during his time as a prisoner in the Soviet Union. Born in 1904 to Polish immigrant parents in Pennsylvania, Ciszek felt a calling to the religious life early on and entered the Society of Jesus, eventually being ordained in 1937. His mission led him to Poland and then to the Soviet Union, where he dedicated himself to serving the Catholic community under the oppressive regime. In 1941, he was arrested by Soviet authorities and spent 15 years in labor camps and prisons, which deeply tested his spiritual convictions. His profound experiences during these years culminated in his seminal work, "He Leadeth Me," where he reflects on the interplay of faith, suffering, and divine guidance in the face of overwhelming odds.
