The 25th Anniversary Of The Repose of Hieromonk Seraphim Rose

 I had the great priviledge to attend the services and other events this past labor day weekend, which coincided with the 25th anniversary of the repose of Hieromonk Seraphim Rose, who is one of my greatest "spiritual heroes". If you have never read the biography,  Father Seraphim Rose: His Life and Works by Hieromonk Damascene, I highly recommend it. 

Both laypeople and clergy came from all over the US and Canada for this event. I have described the event briefly at phronema on this page, where you can also find a link to photos.

The event was proceded by a special edition of "The Illumined Heart", a podcast/radio show which is part of Ancient Faith Radio. These are 3 shows, two of which are interviews with Fr. Damascene, the author of the above mentioned book, and one interview with Abbot Gerasim.  The interviews are excellent and definitely MP3 player/Ipod worthy!  Links to these have also been place on the Fr. Seraphim page on the Watchful Gate site.
