Though he was a humble Russian monk born in 1759 his influence has spread to become central and definitive in all the world-wide Orthodox Church. The life of the saints is a tapestry of a life wholly crucified to self and fully yielded to the will of God. His teaching on the purpose of Christian life as the acquisition of the Holy Spirit, and his great intimacy with the Most Pure Mother of God have captured the hearts of God-lovers and provided inspiration for spiritual acquisition for almost two centuries.Lecture 1 Yielded to God: An Overview of the Life of St. SeraphimLecture 2 Acquiring the Holy Spirit: The Purpose of the Christian LifeLecture 3 St. Seraphim and the Mother of GodLecture #4 Marriage, Monasticism, and the Saint’s Diveyevo NunsLecture 5 Spiritual CounselsDownload our Digital Catalogue here:https://www.patristicnectar.org/digitalcatalogue———SOCIAL MEDIA———Patristic Nectar Instagram: https://bit.ly/3kmupqEPatristic Nectar Facebook: https://bit.ly/33BzmpxPatristic Nectar Twitter: https://bit.ly/3igrH4f———SUPPORT PATRISTIC NECTAR———1) Spread the Word - tell your family and friends about Patristic Nectar.
