The wisdom of St. Seraphim of Sarov
"Acquire a peaceful spirit and around you thousands will be saved."
St. Seraphim of Sarov (1759-1833)
St. Seraphim, a renowned monk and mystic in the Russian Orthodox Church, is remembered for his monastic teaching of the contemplative life. He lived as a hermit for 25 years, and was glorified as a saint in 1903.
His admonition about seeking a peaceful spirit is perhaps too optimistic….but achieving a peaceful spirit would be a very good start for us all, and surely thousands can do it, all at the same time…that much is certain.
