St. Seraphim of Sarov (1754–1833) was a beloved Russian Orthodox monk, hermit, and mystic known for his deep humility, joy, and unceasing prayer. He lived for years in the forests near the Sarov Monastery, devoting himself to silent prayer, ascetic struggle, and communion with God.

He greeted everyone with the words, “Christ is Risen, my joy!”—even outside of Pascha—because he saw the image of God in every person. People from all walks of life came to him for spiritual guidance, healing, and comfort.

St. Seraphim taught that the goal of the Christian life is the acquisition of the Holy Spirit, and that peace, gained through prayer and repentance, would lead others to Christ:

“Acquire the spirit of peace, and thousands around you will be saved.”

He is remembered as one of the greatest saints of Russian Orthodoxy and is loved for his gentleness, miraculous healings, and radiant love for Christ.

Pray to God for us St. Seraphim!
