This healing happened to my wife, Susan Young, about a year after Fr. Seraphim’s repose when our youngest child was still very little.

My Matushka was diagnosed with cancer: she had a metastatic melanoma and it was terminal. The oncologist told us that with such a diagnosis, he gives at the best twenty percent to live another five years.

I then asked the fathers of Platina to send me some oil from the lamp that burns on the grave of Fr. Seraphim. During the next year, every day, I anointed Matushka with this oil, right to the place where the cancer was located. l continued with anointment for another 5 years, although less regularly.

Every year we underwent examination in order to monitor cancer metastases, common practice during such treatment. However, after ten or even fifteen years of annual testing and monitoring the disease was no longer progressing. The doctors concluded that she was completely healed of cancer with no trace of it to be found, and that it was a true miracle.

Unfortunately, in the late 90s, she reposed in the Lord at the age of 53: she had a heart attack.

However, I firmly believe that her time came when she was diagnosed with cancer, but the Lord heard Fr. Seraphim’s prayers and gave her several more years of earthly life.
