Patriarchal sermon on the Memorial Day of St. Seraphim of Sarov

Today we prayerfully glorify our holy Reverend and God-bearing father Seraphim of Sarov. Strange words are found in the Holy Scriptures — the Lord said: My strength is perfected in weakness (see 2 Corinthians 12:9). The paradox: how can strength be accomplished in weakness?

A person cannot compete with anyone if he is full of weakness, but the Lord utters these paradoxical words: My strength is perfected in weakness.

People who did wrong and were unjust simply cease to exist for me. Let me give you an example. One of the instigators of that campaign recently died in a tragic accident.
