Intro

This is a Lenten reading of Father Walter Ciszek's, He Leadeth Me. One chapter will be posted every other day throughout Lent, recorded for the Mens Roundtable, the mens group of the parish, as a way of spiritually accompanying our group reading of this text. 

Captured by the Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a "Vatican spy," American Jesuit, Father Walter J. Ciszek spent 23 years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. 

By surrendering to God's will he endured, and was ultimately returned to the States. In this book, he speaks with simplicity and depth of the courage he found in prayer, which eased the loneliness, the pain, and the anguish, and the fears. 

Father Ciszek's cause for canonization was opened in 1990, just six years after his death.
