Homilies on the Divine Liturgy

These homilies so full of light hope and witness to the Lord Jesus were proclaimed during the dark times of fierce Soviet persecution in the early 20th century. In the year 1926 during his exile in Diveyevo St. Seraphim delivered over twenty homilies on the deep grace and life present in the Divine Liturgy. These homilies were recorded in writing by the servant of God Tatyana Artsybusheva and subsequently preserved for the faithful in samizdat form. After the fall of the Soviet Union the homilies were formally published for the general edification of the Orthodox faithful. Overflowing with the hope of immortality in the face of passing mortality these sermons will edify strengthen and illumine the reader. Full of love and respect for the living tradition and history of the Divine Liturgy St. Seraphim instructs and calls his listeners to enter deeper into Christ Jesus who is the eternal Sun burning deep at the center of the Divine Liturgy and filling it with His grace and life.
