Whatever is in your Soul, whatever may have happened to you, come to me as when I was alive and kneeling on the ground, cast all your bitterness upon my grave. Tell me everything and I shall listen to you, and all the bitterness will fly away from you.

In Geelong Victoria, at the Holy Monastery of the Mother of God Quick to Hear, we are blessed to have the Holy Relics of Saint Seraphim, and a Cave dedicated to him. On his Feast Day we celebrate Vespers and the Divine Liturgy in his Cave.

“When I am dead, come to me at my grave, and the more often the better. Whatever is in your Soul, whatever may have happened to you, come to me as when I was alive and kneeling on the ground, cast all your bitterness upon my grave. Tell me everything and I shall listen to you, and all the bitterness will fly away from you. And as you spoke to me when I was alive, do so now. For I am living and I shall be forever.”
