Thousands of people have read Fr. Seraphim’s books, but relatively few people heard him speak. Some of his formal lectures, which he wrote out for the most part, have been published. The following, however, was an informal talk and, while slightly abridged due to space considerations, it has been deliberately left unedited to preserve its simplicity of style, which so well reflects Fr. Seraphim’s unpretentious and unaffected character. He had a brilliant intellect, but, far from advertising the fact, his primarily emphasis was on the need to develop an Orthodoxy of the heart. The talk was given in Bright Week, 1981, to the St. Seraphim Orthodox Christian Student Fellowship at UC Santa Cruz, whose spiritual director, (now) Abbot Anastassy, kindly gave us permission to reprint the transcript from the “Journal of the Old Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Joy of All Who Sorrow,” July-Sept. 1994.
