Summary or Abstract: The life of Pelagia Ivanovna Serebrenikova, fool-for-Christ's-sake of the Seraphim-Diveyevo Convent, is one of "these little ones" whose witness to the rich variety of life in Christ we ignore at our spiritual peril. Too easily, we dismiss those who refuse to fit into our tidy categories as "troubled" or "ill" or "irresponsible"... and with far too great difficulty do we see the ways in which God uses them to mirror our own weakness.
