- St. Seraphim of Sarov's Conversation With Nicholas Motovilov
A Wonderful Revelation to the World
This revelation is undoubtedly of world-wide significance. True, there is nothing essentially new in it, for the full revelation was given to the Apostles from the very day of Pentecost. But now that people have forgotten the fundamental truths of the Christian religion, and are immersed in the darkness of materialism or the exterior and routine performance of "ascetic labours," Father Seraphim's revelation is truly extraordinary, as indeed he himself regarded it.
"It is not given to you alone to understand this," said Father Seraphim at the end of the revelation, "but through you it is for the whole world!"
Like a flash of lightning this wonderful conversation illumined the whole world which was already immersed in spiritual lethargy and death, less than a century before the struggle against Christianity in Russia and at a time when Christian faith was at a low ebb in the West.
Here God's Saint appears before us as in no way inferior to the great prophets through whom the Holy Spirit Himself spoke.
We record everything word for word without any interpretations of our own.
