The fourth episode in our “Chronicles of the Desert” series introduces us to Seraphim of Sarov (Серафим Саровский), a modern saint who lived much like the desert fathers of old. He followed the same counsel that Arsenios the Great received from God (flee, be silent, pray always) and lived many years alone deep within a Russian forest. So, what can a person such as this, one who lived almost twenty years in seclusion and prayer, offer back to the world? And moreover, what can he teach each of us about the importance of persistence in keeping our prayer rule. Watch our latest video to find out! We welcome your feedback and hope that you will also share the video with others.

Saint Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833)is one of the most renowned Russian monks and mystics in the Russian Orthodox Church. He is generally considered the greatest of the 19th-century startsy (elders). Seraphim extended the monastic teachings of contemplation, theoria and self-denial to the layperson. He taught that the purpose of the Christian life was to acquire the Holy Spirit. Perhaps his most popular quotation amongst Orthodox believers is Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved. Seraphim was glorified (canonized) by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1903 in the presence of Emperor Nicholas II and the Imperial family. These photographs form a part of that celebration......
