Venerable Seraphim lived an ascetic life in the forests near Sâmbăta de Sus Monastery. Known for his extraordinary patience and deep prayer, he endured harsh conditions with unwavering faith. Once, while deep in prayer, a group of bandits stumbled upon his humble dwelling, seeking shelter from a storm. Seraphim welcomed them with warmth and shared his meager food. Touched by his kindness and serene demeanor, the bandits confessed their sins and repented, abandoning their life of crime.

Holy Seraphim, pray to #God for us and inspire us with your patience.
