Recent years have seen a wealth of Blessed Father Seraphim's writings and talks uploaded to YouTube, plus a few excellent mini-documentaries and biographical videos. This page has been most recently updated in November 2024.
There are several recordings of Father Seraphim himself delivering various talks, but these are rare, and most of these YouTube videos feature someone reading the text.
The most recent offerings, several highlights of which are posted below, are well done readings by the dedicated hosts of these various YouTube channels, for whom, we can only assume, these labors are a holy podvig, and we give thanks for the efforts of the channels Orthodox Wisdom, Orthodox Reactionary, and others.
In addition, there are numerous videos which present excerpts of Father Seraphim's teachings in scrolling text against a photographic backdrop accompanied by low volume Greek or Russian Orthodox chant, as seen on the Gregory Decapolite and Nicodemos Hagiorite channels. These presentations have enormous impact on the soul, and somehow impart what Father Seraphim called "the savor of Orthodoxy" even in spite of this post-modern technology, format and platform.
We offer these links for your prayerful edification . . .
