The words of St. Seraphim: “It was not given to you alone to understand this, but through you for the whole world, so that you yourself, having become established in the work of God, could also be useful to others” and ignorance, for the most part, by Orthodox Christians of the goal Christian life, prompted the compilation of these notes. The compiler Roman Sergiev can declare with a clear conscience: “However, I do not seek my glory (John 8:50), but I wish to fulfill the will of God and glorify His name, to acquire the grace of the Holy Spirit for my salvation and, if possible, to help my neighbor in this !” I would like these notes, in modern conditions of almost universal apostasy from the Truth, to help Orthodox Christians gain the right faith and become true admirers of Jesus Christ, who, following the instructions of St. Seraphim, will worship the Father in the spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such worshipers for Himself (John 4:23).
