Items related to On Acquisition of the Holy Spirit
The venerated teachings of the ascetic monk Saint Seraphim of Sarov are here presented in their entirety.
Renowned and respected as one of the wisest monks of Russia, Saint Seraphim promoted the monastic discipline within the wider context of the Christian faith. Lay persons hearing his sermons and lessons would be encouraged to contemplate their place on Earth as one of God's creatures, while practising a modest existence mindful of others.
This text encapsulates the beliefs and core teachings of St. Seraphim, including an introduction to his life and achievements and the tenets of his philosophy in faith. Famously ascetic and harsh on himself, Seraphim would often greet others with kindness and gentleness, going so far as to prostrate at their feet.
Seraphim for much of his life lived in the rugged, harsh terrain of the Russian countryside and woods; one heinous incident of his life saw thieves beat and seriously wound him, yet during their trial the monk - permanently hunchbacked from the attack - plead to the judge to have mercy on the perpetrators.
Pope John Paul II formally confirmed Seraphim a saint, and today imagery and relics depicting St. Seraphim of Sarov are displayed throughout many churches in Russia and elsewhere. His existence, replete with a strong and unrelenting commitment to the Christian way of life has inspired many believers to follow his footsteps around the world.
