Fr. Seraphim Rose - A Tribute

72 HOUR DROP LIVE :: AMERICAN ROSE https://shop.deathtotheworld.com/collections/seventy-two-hour-drops ‘All of this somehow reminds me forcibly that—just as our Saviour could say of Nathaniel that “here is a true Israelite, there is no guile in him”—so too there is such a thing as a “true American”: an honest, forthright, normal person for whom Holy Orthodoxy is quite “natural”; and the harvest of these “true Americans” is only beginning. Doubtless the “Orthodox Americans” will be few in number, but it is precisely the best part of America which is waiting (without knowing it) to hear the glad tidings of Orthodoxy.’ —Blessed Seraphim Rose

“The Antichrist must be understood as a spiritual phenomenon. Why will everyone in the world want to bow down to him? Obviously, it is because there is something in him which responds to something in us — that something being a lack of Christ in us. If we will bow down to him (God forbid that we do so!), it will be because we will feel an attraction to some kind of external thing, which might even look like Christianity, since ‘Antichrist’ means the one who is ‘in place of Christ’ or looks like Christ.” -Fr. Seraphim Rose, “Raising the Mind, Warming the Heart” https://deathtotheworld.com/articles/other-articles/raising-the-mind-warming-the-heart/

If we truly live the Orthodox world-view, our Faith will survive the shocks ahead of us and be a source of inspiration and salvation for those who will still be seeking Christ even amidst the shipwreck of humanity which has already begun today. -Fr. Seraphim Rose, “Living the Orthodox Worldview”

“The monastic life, indeed, even in our times of feeble faith, is still above all the love of Christ, the Christian life par excellence, experienced with many patient sufferings and much pain. Even today there are those who penetrate the secret of this paradise on earth — more often through humble sufferings than through outward ‘correctness’ — a paradise which worldly people can scarcely imagine.” -Fr. Seraphim Rose, “Orthodox Monasticism Today in the Light of Orthodox Monastic Gaul”, The Orthodox Word #74

“Why is the truth, it would seem, revealed to some and not to others? Is there a special organ for receiving revelation from God? Yes, though usually we close it and do not let it open up: God’s revelation is given to something called a loving heart.” -Fr. Seraphim Rose
