USeraphim waseSarov wazalwa phantsi kwegama elithi Prokhor, kwintsapho yabarhwebi eKursk. Xa wayesemfana, uyise wakhe waqala ukwakhiwa kweKursk Cathedral, kodwa wafa ngaphambi kokugqiba umsebenzi. Unina weprokhor wathatha ukwakhiwa, unqulo lonqulo kakhulu, kwaye apha, kunye nomfana, ummangaliso wokuqala wenzeke. Emva kokuwa entongeni yentsimbi xa ehambela ukwakhiwa nonina, wafumana esemhlabeni, ekhuselekileyo kwaye ephilileyo.
Kakade emva kwesi siganeko, inkwenkwe yazinika ixesha elide ekuFundeni Kwangcwele, kwaye ekupheleni kweminyaka eyi-17 yagqiba ukukhonza uThixo. Umama uvume ukhetho lwonyana wakhe waza wabasikelela endleleni eya eKie-Pechersk Lavra. Ukusuka apho, iProkhor yathunyelwa kwintlango yaseSarov, apho yachitha iminyaka emininzi, kwaye, emva koko, yafumana igama elithi Seraphim waseSarov.
Kwaye kwakukho iminyaka yemithandazo ehleliweyo kwiseli yollango, emva koko, kwiminyaka engama-25 kamva, abangcwele bavela kuye, bamyalela ukuba ashiye i-shutter kwaye bamkele abantu-abagulayo nabagulayo.
Ngaloo nto yaqala ukwenza imimangaliso ngokuthandaza kukaSeraphim waseSarov - ukuphilisa kwizifo ezibulalayo.
Imimangaliso yeSeraphim yeSarov
Nabani ongazange eze eSeraphim, waphilisa wonke umntu ngamanzi angummangaliso. Omnye umfazi weza kuye ngelinye ilanga, wayedinwa kwisifo esasingenakudla ukutya okuvunyelwe ngokuzila ukudla. USeraphim wamyala ukuba ahlambe emanzini entwasahlobo, kwaye ugula lwadlula.
Kukho nebali eliyaziwayo malunga nokuphiliswa komfazi onamahloni. Wahamba waya kwindlu yakhe yeendwendwe iintsuku ezimbini, ngexesha lokumisa kwindlu yeendwendwe, wayesele eyala ukuba afe. Kodwa xa efika eSeraphim, wamkela kuqala, wazisula ngetilu, awazisa naye njengesipho, wamyalela ukuba afike ngomso. Ngomso wamnika umnqanawa ukuba athathe amanzi entwasahlobo aze ahlambe. Ukufika ehotele, lona wesifazane, nangona uphikisana noogqirha, wahlamba amanzi kwaye waphiliswa ngokupheleleyo.
Ewe, iSaint Seraphim waseSarov waphulukisa kuphela ngamanzi, kodwa nangomthandazo. Abangcwele abaziphilisi ngokwabo, kodwa bathandaza kunye nemiphefumlo yabo engenasono kubantu abagulayo kwaye uThixo uyaziqonda izicelo zabo.
Emva koko, umthandazo osebenza ngokumangalisayo uSeraphim waseSarov wabonakala, osindisa amakhulu kunye namawaka abantu emva kokufa kwakhe. Emva koko, ongcwele usasithandazela phambi kukaThixo.
Emva kokufa kwakhe, umthombo osisimangaliso usaphila. Emva kokuba umama wonyana wakhe athumele apho, ngubani oneminyaka emininzi ahlushwa yiziyobisi. Umama wakhe wamcela ukuba ahambe apho kunye nomfazi wakhe aze atshate kwi-Monvetery yaseDiveevsky. Ngoko benza, kodwa isifo asizange siphephe.
Kwiminyaka emithathu kamva, indoda engathembekanga ngokuxhomekeke kwiziyobisi, utywala kunye nentlaka, yaya kwindlu yeendwendwe yokuzikhethela. Uthe wangena kathathu entwasaweni engcwele, kwaye ngomzuzwana waziva ukuba bonke abamnyama basuka entliziyweni. Ngaloo mzuzu waphinda wabuya waba ngumzekelo wentsapho.
