Compiled by the Convent of the Protection of the Holy Theotókos Translated by Schemanun Seraphima

“This book, dedicated to the ever-memorable Saint Seraphim, Archbishop of Bogucharsk and Wonderworker of Sofia, contains stories about his life, about his selfless pastoral and theological activities, and about the many miracles worked by his prayers. Here also included are some short but significant homilies and reports of the blessed deceased Hierarch. They not only show his burning love for Christ and for his neighbor—for his suffering flock—, but remind us of his spiritual precepts, with which even now he appeals to us, this righteous Hierarch, man of prayer, clairvoyant, and zealot of Divine truth—this great light of Orthodoxy.”
