CWN Editor's Note: Father Bohdan Geleta, a Ukranian priest imprisoned by Russian forces for 18 months, discussed his experience in an interview with The Pillar.
“In that environment, we choose whether or not we’re afraid because we have an eternal soul,” he recalled. “Fear often surfaces when we stray from truth, when we stop praying, or when we’re consumed with questions: Why? How? Why is there such injustice?”
