One of the most pervasive modern philosophies of our time is materialism and the thorough disregard for the spiritual realm. As our exterior lives fill with friends, wealth, and partying, we can lose track of the current state of our interior lives.
Today Fr. Seraphim joins Fr. Mark Mary in telling how he too got lost in worldy comforts and didn’t realize the growing emptiness and lack of purpose he felt living this way. It wasn’t until he encountered a warlock and experienced real spiritual darkness did this young priest begin to realize the truth of the Catholic Faith. In his story, Fr. Seraphim shares the series of shocking and unexpected events that shifted the course of his life and revealed how God can even use dark evil to bring about his will.
