A rare sermon by Father Seraphim Rose, before he was tonsured a monk, from the out-of-print "Heavenly Realm," back when he was still known as Eugene.

In this sermon, Father Seraphim speaks about the meaning of affliction and how it assists us in our journey towards the heavenly kingdom, using the the lives and experiences of the Apostles Peter and Paul to illustrate.
