Coming home part 3

When I arrived in Magadan I knelt down and kissed the ground where some day I will be buried. It was a surprise to all who were on the flight to see priest in a monks robe on his knees with tears in his eyes but I knew I had come home. Here in the former prison camps of Stalin I had found my life and turned it over as best I could and try everyday to be His and only His. I had heard the gospel anew.  In the time of preparing for the call my father had died and I had accomplished one dream I had sense childhood to climb the tallest mountain in North America, Mt McKinley (7,000 meters). I had been born in a small village at the foot of this mountain. But now I realized the mountain of the Lord is the highest mountain and the climb He was giving me would take more strength than I could find in myself. He had called be to pray in the camps and give my life for the renewal of faith in Russia and to be a victim for the many victims. I could do nothing more than says yes for His will because it had such a sweet attraction. “
