Book excerpt: Fairacres Publication 26 PROKHOR MOCHNIN, later to be known as St Seraphim of Sarov, was born in July 1759 in Kursk on the northernmost Russian steppes. At nineteen, he entered a remote monastery in a forest in Sarov in central Russia, where he received the name Seraphim (Hebrew: ‘flaming’) and became a priest. He later lived as a hermit in a simple cabin in the woods, where he kept strict silence. He eventually returned to his monastery, where he shut himself in his cell for five years. After he had emerged, people flocked to see this staretz, who radiated the fruits of the Spirit. His dictum, ‘have peace in your heart, and thousands around you will be saved’ is well-known throughout the Christian world. He taught that the aim of Christian life is the acquisition of the Holy Spirit, and that prayer, more than anything else, gives the grace of the Holy Spirit. This small book concentrates upon a record made by Nicolas Motovilov of a conversation with St Seraphim in 1831, soon after Seraphim had healed him of paralysis. The record was discovered in 1902 by Serge Nilus at the convent of Diveyevo and he had it published in the Moscow Journal of July 1903, the same month in which Seraphim was canonized. IRINA GORAINOV lived for some years on the island of Patmos. Her writing is based upon both knowledge of the written sources about St Seraphim and upon personal acquaintance with people living in the same tradition of prayer and faith.

Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by the Translators The story about the life of Saint Seraphim of Sarov1, the miracle-worker, was first printed by the Monastery of Sarov in 1893. It was then re-written by N. Puretzki and published by the printer I. D. Sytin in Moscow in 1903. Saint Seraphim's Teaching was taken from the original edition of this book, which was reprinted in Moscow in 1991 by the Moscow Section of the National Trust for Preservation of Monuments. The cover image is a photo of one of Saint Seraphim's miracle-working icons. This icon was presented to the Russian Orthodox Church in the name of Saint Mary of Magdala in The Hague by the last Russian Tzar, Nicolas II, a martyr and a saint; the reason being that this church was originally the domestic chapel of Queen Anna Paulowna, who was a member of the Royal Romanov House, and the wife of King Willem II of the Netherlands. This icon has another particular characteristic: it is not a strictly formal representation of a saint, but one of the two portraits of Saint Seraphim. The church also has in her possession part of the relics of Saint Seraphim, and pilgrims from all over Europe and Russia come to venerate them and to pray. Saint Seraphim is one of the most venerated saints of Russia, and has greatly influenced the spiritual life, not only of the entire Russian clergy, but also of the thousands of laymen who were drawn to Christian mysticism. As a spiritual mentor St. Seraphim has formulated in his teaching in simple words the purpose and the ways of Christian ascetic life, in order to make them understandable to all those seeking God.

This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern Russia, the question is raised about the revival of the spirituality of the population, which increases interest in studying the history of the church. In the pre-revolutionary period, the Orthodox Church in the Russian Empire had a significant impact on the formation of national culture and statehood. Actively cooperating with the state, the Orthodox Church has accumulated vast experience in the field of education, missionary work, and charity. This experience in today’s Russia can be used to solve the most important tasks in the moral education of young people who will contribute to the future of Russia. Examining the Relationship Between the Russian Orthodox Church and Secular Authorities in the 19th and 20th Centuries focuses on the system of spiritual education, the social and psychological characteristics of the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the tradition of Orthodox pilgrimage. It explores the key areas of charitable and educational activities of the Orthodox Church during the period of religious transformation in the 19th and 20th centuries. Covering topics such as missionary activity, secular authority, and church land tenure, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for historians, anthropologists, sociologists, researchers in politics and religion, librarians, students and faculty of higher education, and academicians.

Book excerpt: This present work examines the life and thought of Father Pavel Florensky (1882-1943), the one individual, who probably best, both in his personality and speculative output, incarnates the spirit of the religious renaissance, which occurred in Russia in the years immediately preceding the Revolution in 1917. His masterwork, The Pillar and Foundation of Turth, proved so influential that it has left an indelible mark on Russian religious thought right up until our own day. This book examines Florensky⿿s experimental methodology, his antinomic theory of truth, and, above all, his sophiological conception, which subsequently evoked much debate in Orthodox circles. This present work offers a way out of this controversy.
