Venerable Seraphim lived an ascetic life near a forest, eating only uncooked plants. Villagers mocked him, calling him crazy, but he patiently endured. One winter, a blizzard struck, and villagers sought shelter in his small hut. Seraphim welcomed them, and miraculously, the hut expanded to accommodate everyone. The villagers repented their mockery, recognizing his holiness. Oh, Venerable Seraphim, intercede for us to God, that we may also find patience and compassion in our hearts.
