Miraculous Intercessions of Hieromonk Seraphim of Platina

Orthodox Wisdom - A podcast by Readings from Saints of Holy Orthodoxy

“It is through more than his literary inheritance that Fr. Seraphim is leading these converts. As the accounts related in this chapter indicate, Fr. Seraphim, being still alive in Christ, is even now personally drawing people into the fullness of the ancient Christian Faith.” –Hieromonk DamasceneI humbly ask all listeners to ask for Fr. Seraphim’s intercession and pray to God that one day soon he may be officially glorified as a Saint of the Holy Orthodox Church. Next year is the 40th anniversary of his repose. If you desire to see him glorifed as a Saint, there are things you can do to help make this happen. Pray for God's guidance. One simple and direct way is to write Bishop Maxim of the Serbian Western Diocese, or even other Serbian or ROCOR Bishops. Their addresses should be on the diocesan websites. Pray above all.These accounts of Fr. Seraphim’s miraculous intercessions, which are merely a few of the many, affirm that truly we can say, “Holy Father Seraphim, pray to God for us!”(NOTE: The timestamps in this description link to the video on YouTube.)00:06 Intro02:07 Healing of Matushka’s Susan’s cancer, which even her doctors admit is a miracle04:23 Help bringing a searching community into the Church, and providing them with a new property08:16 Fr.
