Akathist to the Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos. Prayer to the belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary Akathist to the belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary read

The creation of the most famous and prolific writer church services XX century, monk Gerasim (Grekas) Micragianite (1905-1991), resident of the Holy Skete of St. Anna Minor. This Athonite ascetic and Hymnographer of the Ecumenical Patriarchate is the author of countless church services and hymns. The legacy of his pen was 47 volumes, 750-800 pages each. In the Greek Menaion and Book of Hours, among the inscriptions of hymns, his name is increasingly adjacent to the names of such great hymnographers as John of Damascus, Cosmas of Maium, Andrew of Crete and others. Having lived most of his life (about 70 years) in the Garden of the Mother of God, on Mount Athos, Father Gerasim, like all Athos residents, had a special love for the Mother of God. The expression of this great love for the Abbess of the Holy Mountain, among his other creations, is a real akathist. Turning to the shrine, the elder turns to the One who Sanctified the belt by wearing it on His Christ-bearing Most Pure Body. In a similar way, saying "rejoice" to the Holy Cross, we bless the One who was nailed and crucified on it, the Master of Christ.

The akathist was translated into Church Slavonic at the Sacred Great Monastery of Vatopedi in 2011 on the occasion of bringing the Holy Belt of the Mother of God to Russia.

Prayer to the Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Good time of the day Everyone! We will be glad to see you on our video channel in YouTube Video channel. Subscribe to the channel, watch the video.

All women by nature have the main mission - the birth of a child. But there are situations when it is not possible to become a mother. There may be various reasons for this, which are not always related to the state of health. It happens that both spouses are healthy, but the conception itself does not occur. And at that moment, the most important thing is not to give up, but to believe in a miracle. Many women do this. In an effort to find a child, they read prayers, and also look for the Belt of the Virgin. Many say that the miracles of the Belt of the Virgin are the ability to conceive a child, save pregnancy, and contribute to a successful delivery.

The meaning of the Belt of Our Lady

Nowadays, this relic is divided into three parts. All of them are stored in different places. This belt is considered the only surviving relic of the earthly life of the Virgin Mary. According to legend, it was made from camel hair by the Mother of God herself. And after the Assumption at the Ascension, she gave it to the Apostle Thomas.

There are a large number of legends about the miracles of healing the Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos. For example, during the reign of Emperor Leo the Wise, his wife, who was possessed by an unclean spirit, was healed. The most basic miracle of this flap is considered a cure for infertility. Women who cannot have children receive braid from the Ark. And if a woman sincerely wants to become a mother, then she will definitely become one.

It is known for sure that parts of this flap are in the Vatopedi monastery on Mount Athos. But the way there is closed for women, since this is a male monastery. There is still a particle in the monastery of Trooditissa in Cyprus. There is another part in the Cathedral of the city of Jerusalem. But it happens that it is taken to other temples, where you can come and kiss. This rarely happens, but if you get the opportunity, be sure to take it.

What helps the Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The appeal to this shrine has various reasons, and each has its own. Most frequently referred to:

about giving children
about building faith
about healing from various diseases,
about strengthening relationships.

In addition, in order to become parents, they also ask for healing from such a terrible disease as oncology. But the most important thing for which this thing is glorified is the enlightenment of the mind with the divine light that comes from the Belt. Many believe that if you read the prayer piously, then they will be granted liberation from sins. That is why it is worth addressing prayers to the Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

If you have a sincere desire to become parents, then try to bow to the Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It will not be superfluous to read prayers. And if you have a chance to get a ribbon from the ark, then keep it constantly nearby. Maybe someone will be in holy places and will be able to bring.

The prayer before the Belt has the following words:

Troparion, Prayer to the Position of the Honorable Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos

“Theotokos Ever-Virgin, protection of men, the robe and belt of Your most pure body, the sovereign city of Your taxation gave you, with Your seedless Christmas, you are imperishable, for You and nature are renewed and time. Moreover, we pray Thee to grant peace to Thy city and great mercy to our souls.

“Oh, Blessed Mother of God, Immaculate and Rejoiced, may we, Your weak people, rejoice, as if by Your Power and Power, crush all our enemies visible and invisible, may we glorify and exalt Thee, like the Invincible Victory of the Almighty.”

“My queen, my hope is the Mother of God, a friend of orphans and strange representatives, grieving joy, offended patroness! See my misfortune, see my sorrow, help me like a weak one, feed me like a strange one. I’ll offend my weight, resolve it, as if you will: as if I don’t have another help for You, or another intercessor, or a good comforter, only You, O Bogomati, as if you save me and cover me forever and ever. Amen."

These words must be spoken from the heart and with sincere faith. Only then will they benefit and give you the desired miracle.

Song of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Many people read this prayer in lines to the ark with the Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos, and over the Belt itself, falling to it (or simply passing under it, as was the case in some churches), and continue to read, wearing the ribbons consecrated on the Belt.

According to the rules of the Russian Orthodox Church, there are also special prayers that must be read just before venerating the shrine. Here they are.

There are many other prayers of the Mother of God that help in various situations of life, which can also be read, asking for help through the Belt of the Virgin. Here are a few of them.

What to pray to You, what to ask of You? You see everything, you know Itself: look into my soul and give her what she needs. You, who have endured everything, overcome everything, you will understand everything. You, who raised the Child in a manger and accepted Him with Your hands from the Cross, You alone know the whole height of joy, all the oppression of grief. You, who received the whole human race as an adoption, look at me with maternal care. Lead me from the shadows of sin to Your Son. I see a tear that irrigated Your face. It is over me that You shed it, and let it wash away the traces of my sins. Here I have come, I am standing, I am waiting for Your response, O Mother of God, O All-Singing, O Mistress! I don't ask for anything, I just stand before You. Only my heart, a poor human heart, exhausted in anguish for truth, I cast down to Your Most Pure Feet, Lady! May all who call upon You reach the eternal day with You and bow down before You face to face.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, protecting from despair

Prayers of supplication to the Most Holy Theotokos

To whom shall I cry, Lady? To whom shall I resort in my sorrow, if not to Thee, Queen of Heaven? Who will receive my weeping and my sighing, if not You, Immaculate One, the hope of Christians and the refuge of us sinners? Who else will protect you in misfortune? Hear my groaning and incline Your ear to me, the Lady of the Mother of my God, and do not despise me, demanding Your help, and do not reject me, a sinner. Reason and teach me, Queen of Heaven; do not depart from me, Thy servant, Lady, for my murmuring, but wake me Mother and Intercessor.

Amen.

O Blessed Virgin, Mother of the Lord Most High, Intercessor and Protector of all who resort to You! Look from the height of Your saints on me, a sinner (name), falling to Your pure image; hear my warm prayer and bring it before your Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; implore Him, may it illuminate my gloomy soul with the light of His Divine grace, may it deliver me from all need, sorrow and illness, may it send me a quiet and peaceful life, health of body and soul, may my suffering heart die and heal its wounds, may it guide me for good deeds, let my mind be cleansed from vain thoughts, but having taught me the fulfillment of His commandments, let it deliver from eternal torment and let it not deprive me of His Kingdom of Heaven. O Holy Mother of God! You, "Joy of All Who Sorrow", hear me, the mournful one; You, called "Assuagement of Sorrow", quench my sorrow as well; You, "Burning Kupino", save the world and all of us from the harmful fiery arrows of the enemy; You, "Seeker of the Lost", do not let me perish in the abyss of my sins.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, read on Sunday, by the Monk Nil of Sora

O all-merciful Virgin Mother of God, Mother of generosity and philanthropy, my most gracious hope and hope! O Mother of the most sweet, first-born and all love surpassing the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lover of mankind and my God, the Light of my darkened soul! I fall down to You, a sinful one, and I pray to You, a source of mercy and an abyss of bounty and philanthropy giving birth: have mercy on me, crying out painfully, have mercy on me, all wounded, fallen into fierce robbers, and from clothes, clothed me in the skin of the Father, alas for me, naked.

Pour out on me the oil of Thy mercy, and give me the wine of compunction to sharpen me; For you, truly, there is only one hope in my life. Therefore, do not reject me, who flows to You, but see my sorrow, Virgin, and the desire of the soul, and accept this and save me, Intercessor of my salvation.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos of St. Ephraim the Syrian

Prayer Appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos of St. John of Kronstadt

O Lady! Yes, not in vain and in vain do we call You the Mistress: reveal and manifest over us Your holy, living, active dominion. Reveal, for you can do everything for good, as the Mother of the all-good of the all-good King; disperse the darkness of our hearts, reflect the arrows of crafty spirits, flatteringly moved at us. May the peace of Thy Son, Thy peace reign in our hearts, may we all joyfully exclaim: who is after the Lord, like our Lady, our all-good, all-merciful and most swift Intercessor? For this you are exalted, Mistress, for that an abundance of unspeakable divine grace has been given to you, for that inexpressible boldness and strength at the throne of God and the gift of almighty prayer have been given to you, for this you have been adorned with indescribable holiness and purity, for this you have been given unapplied power from the Lord, so that you can preserve, protect, intercede, purify and save us, the inheritance of your Son and God, and yours. Save us, O most pure, all-good, all-wise and all-merciful! You are the Mother of our Savior, Who of all names deigned to be called the Savior more than anyone else. It is natural for us, wandering in this life, to fall, for we are overlaid with many-passionate flesh, surrounded by spirits of malice in high places, seducing to sin, we live in an adulterous and sinful world, seducing to sin; and You are above all sin, You are the brightest Sun, You are the Most Pure, All-good and All-pleasing, You tend to cleanse us, defiled by sins, as a mother cleanses her children, if we call on You humbly for help, You tend to raise us, who are constantly falling, to intercede to protect and save us, who are slandered by the spirits of evil, and to instruct us to walk towards every path of salvation.

Prayer to the Mother of God for children

O Most Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your shelter my children (names), all the youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of their mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as You are the Divine Protection of Your servants.

And as often as possible, on any day and hour, you need to say a short prayerful invocation of the Most Holy Theotokos.

Brief Prayer Invocation

Holy Mother of God, save us!

And if it is especially difficult for you, and immediate help is needed, the fulfillment of the Theotokos rule will help, which, according to legend, the Mother of God herself gave people from Heaven back in the 8th century. But after that, for some time, it turned out to be forgotten, and Seraphim of Sarov reminded of it, who himself fulfilled this rule, and blessed his spiritual children in the Diveevo monastery to do the same.

The benefits of following this rule are enormous! Even in hopeless situations thanks to him there is a way out. Unexpected help comes from where you do not expect it. We begin to receive patronage from a variety of people, and ill-wishers, even without our efforts, are put to shame and simply disappear from our lives.

It is not so easy to fulfill the Theotokos rule - but each of us can decide for himself whether the efforts spent are worth the great help and grace that descends upon us in the end.

Actually, the Theotokos rule is to read the “Song of the Most Holy Theotokos” 150 times:

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you; Blessed are You in women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, as if the Savior gave birth to our souls.

But it is necessary to read like this, not continuously 150 times in a row, and after each ten add other prayers, special for each ten. Thus, we divide the reading of the prayer into fifteen tens, corresponding to the fifteen main events in the life of the Virgin. And when reading each ten, one must remember exactly the corresponding event.

Reading the first ten, we remember the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After the first ten, we pray for parents, children and relatives, and read the prayer:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, save and save Thy servants (names of parents and relatives), and rest those who died with the saints in Thy eternal glory.

Reading second ten, we recall the Entry into the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Then we pray for the lost and those who have fallen away from the faith:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, save and preserve and unite (or join) to the holy Orthodox Church your lost and fallen servants (names).

Reading third decade, we remember the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After that, we pray for the assuagement of sorrows, the consolation of the mourners and the healing of the sick:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, quench our sorrows and send consolation to the grieving and sick of Your servants (names).

Reading fourth decade, we recall the Meeting of the Most Holy Theotokos with the righteous Elizabeth. After reading, we pray for the union of the separated, and that everyone who is absent, who left the house or disappeared without a trace, will return safely:

O Most Holy Lady of the Theotokos, unite in separation Thy servants (names).
