The author of these lines had the opportunity for many years to closely communicate and mentally take care of the fellow and fellow-man of Father Seraphim - Father Herman (Podmoshensky), to hear many of his revelations about the innermost life of the soul of Father Seraphim, about their joint labors and experiences. And so I will try to tell about what I heard from Father Herman, to the best of my weakness, contemplating at the same time the prayerfully myrrh-streaming icon-painting portrait of Father Seraphim, now standing in front of my eyes on my desktop.
