"Thou didst love Christ from thy
youth, O blessed one and longing to work for Him along thou didst
struggle in the wilderness with constant prayer and labor. With
pertinent heart and love for Christ thou was favored by the Mother of
God. Wherefore we cry to thee: save us by thy prayers, O Seraphim our
righteous Father."
(Troparion to St. Seraphim
of Sarov -- 2 / 15 of January,
19 of July / 1 of August)
