Fr Serafim
Why? And where can they be read?
They are in a book titled Letters from Fr. Seraphim. St. John of Kronstadt Press has it for $20.

Oh okay. I actually own that book. I just have not had time to read it yet. Thanks for the link, though. 
romiosini, I just hope it happens soon.

"It's later than you think! Hasten therefore to do the work of God."
-Fr. Seraphim (Rose)!(Perfect time to use Saint Seraphim's quote!)
Like myself, I see you really admire Fr. Seraphim (Rose). Have you been able to read all his books yet?

I read at the end of that book a part of his life, and also there is a site online if I am correct where it has many pictures of the wilderness he lived. (Saint Herman's Monastery I presume?) Anyways, I learned a lot of him on that site about him.
Also, I knew and found out that before he became Orthodox Christian (Being Chrismated by the very much Sainted Vener John Maximovitch of San Fransisco)http://www.sisqtel.net/williams/ But sadly, being young and trying to save as much money possible for spiritual books, is hard. The monastery here in Montreal, Theotokos of Consolation, has most of his books. And, also, I feel the holiness of many people even before knowing who they are! (When I first saw a picture of Saint John Maximovitch, the first thing that came to my head was "Saint", same thing for Saint Philaret of New York and Saint Seraphim Rose and many other Saints whom I get attached either by their Graceful miracles or signs)Slowly, I will get the chance to read all his books. Especially the next I'm getting is his biography by Hieromonk Damascene. (I'm actually thinking of writing to the Abbot of Saint Herman's Monastery in Platina, and getting information or if it is possible to order an Icon or his Photo of Saint Seraphim) The sanctity of a person becomes venerated first by the people then they declare it officially by the Church. So until then, I'm guessing many people first have to meet the sanctity of Saint Seraphim of Platina.
I'm reading The Soul After Death as we speak. It's quite good.
Monastery in Montreal? Could you tell me a little about it? Since I live in Toronto, I may be able to visit it. However, I'm a bit nervous about going to one.
If they say it's possible for you to get a picture of Fr. Seraphim, please let me know. I would love to buy one.
P.S. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
