“Lay people must also honour monasticism in heart and in deed, so as to be able at least in some measure to partake of the grace of monasticism through others. To this end Father Seraphim advised people to give alms to Monasteries
or to work for them.”

(from St. Seraphim of Sarov - A Spiritual Biography,
Archimandrite Lazarus Moore, New Sarov Press, 1994, p. 261.)
