Translated by Ralitsa Doynova
Volumes II and III of The Spiritual Writings of Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev
“[...G]odly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death (II Cor. 7:10). This Gospel truth has been forgotten; the world rushes to psychologists, psychiatrists, hypnotists, the Eastern practices of yoga, meditation, transcendentalism. etc., looking for answers, but to no avail. Archimandrite Seraphim points us back in the right direction and gives the example of the holy Prophet King David, who praised God in his suffering and ‘found the lost joy of human life in his longing for God.... How much more possible this is after the coming of Jesus Christ, Who came to earth to renew and regenerate fallen human nature, to restore to us grace and the lost paradisiacal bliss.’”
