He Spent a Thousand Nights on a Stone. Then He Opened His Door and Called Every Soul His Joy. There is a man at the edge of a Russian forest who will not leave his rock for a thousand nights. He is being shaped - by cold, by silence, by the Mother of God herself - into something the world has rarely seen: a human being so filled with uncreated Light that those who walked toward his door through the snow came away unable to explain what had met them there. They only knew they had been seen. That man is Seraphim of Sarov. My Joy! Christ Is Risen! is a soul-portrait of the pivotal moments that formed the most solitary man in Russia into the most sought-after spiritual father of his age - from his withdrawal into the near desert, through a thousand nights of prayer upon stone, to the day he opened his door and greeted every broken pilgrim as his joy.Into the near desert - the deliberate withdrawal that began the saint's hidden formation The animals of the forest - what came to him in that wilderness, and what it signified A thousand nights on the stone - the fierce embodied asceticism that shaped him from within The night the robbers came - violence, a broken body, and a refusal of retribution The long silence - years of holy stillness and what the Church has always understood them to accomplish The Theotokos points to the door - the visitation that ended enclosure and opened the saint to thousands What he knew before you arrived - the uncanny, grace-given knowledge Seraphim carried into every encounter Father of the sisters - his role as founder and shepherd of the Diveyevo community The light on the snow - what was seen, what it means, and why the uncreated Light is a present and promised reality Seraphim of Sarov is beloved - yet too often encountered as a single phrase on a prayer card.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Saint Seraphim of Sarov was a Russian Orthodox monk and forest hermit who opened his door to thousands after decades of silence. How did a monk who withdrew into the deep forest, praying for a thousand nights on a granite rock and enduring a brutal beating by robbers, become the elder who greeted every visitor with the news of the resurrection?In 1794, a monk leaves his monastery to build a small log hermitage in the wilderness outside Sarov. There, he subsists on wild herbs and feeds the wild bears that lumber out of the birch trees to eat bread from his hand. When three peasants beat him nearly to death with his own axe, he recovers only to beg the court for their release, returning to the woods for years of strict silence. Directed by the Theotokos, he finally emerges in 1825 to receive all who come to his cell, reading the hearts of peasants and officers alike. Nicholas Motovilov sits with him in the November snow to witness the acquisition of the Holy Spirit, before the elder finishes his earthly course on his knees before his icon.A thousand nights: the long vigil on a granite rock where a solitary ascetic prayed with raised arms.The open door: the emergence from silence to shepherd the sisters of the Seraphim Diveyevo Convent and greet every weeping mother or illiterate fisherman.Uncreated light revealed: the conversation with Nicholas Motovilov in the winter forest that demonstrated the true aim of the Christian life.Book Two of The Wonderworker of Sarov: A Life in Three Books.
