My Joy! Christ Is Risen!
He Spent a Thousand Nights on a Stone. Then He Opened His Door and Called Every Soul His Joy. There is a man at the edge of a Russian forest who will not leave his rock for a thousand nights. He is being shaped, by cold, by silence, by the Mother of God herself, into something the world has rarely seen: a human being so filled with uncreated Light that those who walked toward his door through the snow came away unable to explain what had met them there.

They only knew they had been seen. That man is Seraphim of Sarov . My Joy! Christ Is Risen! is a soul-portrait of the pivotal moments that formed the most solitary man in Russia into the most sought-after spiritual father of his age, from his withdrawal into the near desert, through a thousand nights of prayer upon stone, to the day he opened his door and greeted every broken pilgrim as his joy.
