On Saturday of the fifth week of Great Lent, the Holy Church celebrates the Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos. Otherwise, this holiday is called the Saturday of the Akathist, composed in gratitude for the miraculous deliverance from troubles through the intercession of the Mother of God. About a small fraction of the modern miracles of the Mother of God - these stories.

The manifestation of icons

Archpriest George Breev , rector of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Krylatskoye:

When I was appointed rector of the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in Krylatskoye 20 years ago, they immediately brought me the Rudny Icon of the Mother of God. Here, in honor of this image, an altar was consecrated, since local peasants found it at a holy spring near the church. I remember the headman comes and says:

Father, I wanted to give you something in connection with the fact that you were appointed to restore this temple ...

She knew that the Rudny Icon of the Mother of God was revered here. Holds out an icon, but that one is dark. Nothing was visible: no colors, no image itself.

And how did you understand that this is the Rudny icon? I ask her.

I was told about this when I bought it at the antique market in Izmailovo, - explains.

Okay, since Rudnenskaya, I’ll take it with pleasure!

The fact is that in our church only one revered Rudny icon remained, preserved by old parishioners. According to legend, when the temple was closed in 1936, a resident of the village of Krylatskoye split and burned the temple icon. A few years later, during the Great Patriotic War, during a German air raid on a factory across the Moscow River, one of the bombs "accidentally" fell out and hit the village - precisely in the house of this woman, killing her along with her daughter. No one else in the village was hurt except for them.

And now I look at this dark Rudny icon brought to me and think: "It needs to be cleared." However, on the first feast of this image celebrated in the church being restored, I nevertheless placed this icon in the church on the lectern. Then, after the icon has been in the temple, I bring it to the cell and cannot understand: what is happening?! She seems to be changing before our eyes, some colors in her come to life ... Tamara Alekseevna Gavrilova, the treasurer of the temple, came in:

Look, Tamara Alekseevna, the icon was not like that!

Yes, father, - she confirms, shocked.

The icon was completely updated before our eyes, sparkled with colors

Indeed, the icon was completely renewed before our eyes, sparkled with colors - and this despite the fact that the brush of the artist-restorer did not even touch it! See the colors on it? And there was just a black board, on which only some outlines showed through, but now it shines!

And here is another image of the Burning Bush. The parishioners also gave her to me completely dark. I brought it here to the cell, but nothing is visible on it: neither the face nor the details can be made out. Just some stripes on a dark board looked through. It was only along these lines, converging at angles, that I realized that this was the image of the Burning Bush. Hung her in a cell...

"Okay, - I think, - I'll find good artists." I then just realized that it was impossible to give the icon to the first comers for restoration, the day before they ruined one image for me. So I decided to wait...

And this icon also manifested itself! What you can see on it now - all this was not in sight! Now even blue azure is visible on it - this color was completely absent. There were no angels to be seen! And look what a noble face the icon has!

Here you are, the wonders of our time.

Just the other day, I was told from the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God “The Life-Giving Spring” in Tsaritsyno, where I also used to be rector, that three icons shone there. Go there, take a look! These are the icons of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow” and “Search for the Lost”, as well as the image of the Great Martyr George the Victorious. And in my cell, in addition to the Mother of God, the icon of St. George the Victorious was renewed.

I also remember, when I was just appointed rector at Krylatskoye, one artist brought me the icon of the Mother of God “The Redeemer”.

Take her to the altar! - asks me.

Why to the altar? - I specify.

And then she tells me her story. She became seriously ill and made a vow to the Mother of God that she would paint Her icon. And when she got better, she forgot about the promise in the surging fuss. Two years have passed, one morning she goes out for a walk with her dog and this is what she sees. A tall, slender nun walks towards her… She reined in the dog, and she herself thinks: “What a majestic…”

You gave me your word and why don't you keep it? suddenly a passer-by turns to her.

“What word? .. To whom?” she thinks and suddenly remembers:

The Mother of God promised to paint Her icon!

But the Mother of God has already become invisible.

"Sign" from the sea

Sergey Korablev:

In 2016, having retired from service, I took a ticket to a sanatorium in Sochi. Came out, I remember, on the coast. It was a clear sunny day. The sea is calm: not a single wave. Exactly at noon I saw a flock of dolphins swimming up to the shore, began to count: 12. I sat in a sun lounger and watched them. Suddenly I realized that they were pushing some object to the coastal edge of the water ... When the dolphins disappeared, a single wave suddenly rolled up, which I generally noticed that day, and threw this bundle onto the sand. I paid attention to him, but soon I was distracted by business and I left the beach for a while. I return, and this sea offering still lies in the same place ... I got e-book and tried to go into reading, and the inner voice repeats:

Open the bag. Open the bag.

I obeyed. Approached. The bag was covered in mud. Removed these algae. He began to untie the twine. The contents turned out to be tied around a man's sweater, fastened with clerical needles with plastic tips. I unfold the sweater, and there is an icon! Mother of God.

I called my mother, sent home a picture of the find via whatsapp.

Mom said:

Sent to you - take it.

Although immediately someone came up and offered to take the shrine to the temple. But I still listened to my mother. Later Schema-Archimandrite Eli (Nozdrin) confirmed this decision to me when I brought him an icon in Peredelkino. Archpriest Valerian Krechetov was still next to him then. I wanted to give the icon to them, but Father Eli said:

Let her stay with you.

This icon is miraculous. How many times has it happened that colleagues who had some serious problems in life came to my house, and I told them:

Believe, pray! Just ask the Mother of God in your own words!

And each time, in a completely miraculous way, everything in the lives of these people was resolved.

My own life has completely changed. Somehow, everything started to turn out right. On the Internet, someone wrote something about this case, but there are a lot of lies. For some reason, they wrote that I was there with my wife, and I just got married a year ago! I feel the help and patronage of the Most Holy Theotokos.

How the Mother of God stood up when the doctors refused

, resident of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra:

I remember how in the 1970s the monks of the Lavra were prevented from holding separate unctions. Like, enough for believers and one common unction on Great Wednesday. And soon a very young girl living in the neighborhood of Lavra fell ill. She worked as an accountant in a children's dispensary. They built something in the yard of the institution, dug holes, and by negligence she fell and hurt herself. Some kind of hard lump had formed in her, she thought it would pass, but as it seemed to the doctors, they diagnosed cancer, and already with metastases ... She lay alone in the ward of the Botkin hospital, and burst into tears:

Why, Lord?

The Mother of God said: “Lydia, why are you murmuring? Nobody left you"

And I saw the Most Holy Theotokos right in the ward:

Lydia, why are you murmuring? Nobody left you.

Doctors refused her, sent her home as hopeless. Her mother was a believer, she immediately turned to the monks of the Lavra with a request to consecrate and take communion.

The girl was brought to the Lavra, and we closed ourselves in the Mikheev Church, without turning on the light, by candlelight we consecrated her. Then she took communion three times and returned to work healthy.

How did you get healed? her colleagues ask.

The Lord healed, Communion, she answered.

You just need to believe, pray, the Mother of God will hear, the Lord will not leave.

There is such a parable.

The Holy Apostle Peter, when he ended his earthly life, was called to Heaven, where the Lord handed him the keys to the gates of heaven. Peter zealously carried out his service, opening the doors of paradise for the souls of those people who turned out to be worthy of heavenly blessings. But once Peter noticed in the bright paradise people whom he did not let in. How did they get here? And in great anxiety he came to the Lord. The Lord said, "Follow me, Peter."

They went through the gardens of paradise and groves and under the mountain on a green lawn they saw the Blessed Virgin, who looked down from the edge of a deep cliff. In the hands of the Most Pure was a ladder woven from the finest blue silk. And from the abyss came groans, pleas ...

And so the Most Pure One lowers her cobweb ladder, and one by one, the suffering, tortured people climb onto the lawn and disappear into the gardens of Eden, flower beds and groves.

With each saved, the Lady raises her hands and prays to God:

- My Lord and God! You see, hear and know everything. By Your inexpressible mercy, forgive Me that I violate the wise orders of Your bright paradise. But I lived on earth, and I myself am a mother. Can I refuse a mother who pleads for her son? And am I not the Mother of all suffering humanity?

Then God laid His almighty hand on the shoulder of the Apostle Peter and said:

"Let's get out of here slowly." We have nothing to do with you here.

Often one can hear from unbelieving people: "Show us your God, then we, perhaps, will believe." But it is impossible to see God, "God is spirit" ( In. 4, 24). You don't require electricity, do you? We know that electricity exists when we turn on the light. In the same way, God is recognized by His actions in the world.

Mankind has studied the material world well. We know what happens in it regularly, what happens occasionally, and what cannot happen in principle. Usually a person climbs a mountain on foot, can descend to the top with a parachute, but is not able to transfer himself to the peak with the power of thought.

There are other laws in the spiritual world, everything is possible there. But the spiritual world, as it were, permeates our earthly world, the Lord acts in it, but usually we do not feel this action. Only sometimes the laws of the spiritual world manifest themselves in the material world. Then we are surprised and say that a miracle happened. So the apostles were perplexed, whom before the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos the Lord transferred to Jerusalem from different countries, where they preached the Gospel.

Holy Mother of God- our Representative and Intercessor before the Lord, and the miracles performed by God at Her petitions are innumerable. The Heavenly Intercessor in all ages saved the Russian army from imminent death, helped it to win over the enemy and responded to the needs of every person sincerely turning to Her. Here is what happened in the formidable 1942.

That year Ivan Voronov was called to the front. Saying goodbye to him, the mother gave him an icon of the Mother of God, saying that She would certainly save him if his son would pray. Ivan considered himself an unbeliever, but kept his mother's gift. Once, with a group of soldiers, he was surrounded in the forest and was wounded. It was possible to leave only through a swampy swamp, with the risk of drowning. Remembering the icon, he furtively took it out and asked: “Mother of God, if you exist, help!” After a while, an old woman appeared: “Were you lost, sons? Come on, I'll show you the path! And led her through the swamp to her own. Saying goodbye, Ivan said: “Well, mother! I don't know how to thank you!" “And you will serve me for the rest of your life!” And with these words she disappeared, as if melted in the air.

Ivan Voronov, Archbishop Alipiy - Soldier and Warrior of Christ

Having gone all the way to Berlin, Ivan made a vow that if he survived in this hell, he would become a monk. Subsequently, the world recognized him as the great abbot of the Pskov-Caves Monastery, Archimandrite Alipy.

Another miracle is quite small, but my own. One evening I come to the country. The time is late, empty, already gloomy. There were always stray dogs hanging around the platform, usually good-natured. But then they were very excited about something and decided to attack me. A flock of 5-6 tetrapods ran competently, embracing in a semicircle. As soon as I began to pray: “Virgin Mary, rejoice ...”, as everyone simultaneously braked sharply. Usually this is how they show it in cartoons: lumps of earth from under the paws, and the body leans back. And that's it, they calmly trotted on about their dog business.

Miracles are amazing, but still, still... “Those who “accept” Christ, accept Him not because of miracles, but out of love, accept Him and follow Him first of all with their hearts,” wrote Archpriest Alexander Schmemann. – And it is precisely this kind of acceptance that Christ Himself wants and seeks. “If you love Me, you keep My commandments…” If you love Me…”

MIRACULOUS HELP OF THE MOTHER OF GOD IN OUR DAYS Letter from the village of Raygorodok, Donetsk region: “In November 1997, my son underwent an operation to remove encysted purulent pleurisy and resection of the left apex of the lung (after a penetrating injury to the heart and lung in June 1996) During the operation pus spilled into the pleural cavity. There was no hope for recovery. The next day, the temperature was 40 degrees, pus broke out of the wound, pus also came out of the pleural cavity through the drains. Reoperation was not possible. All the time from the beginning of the operation and after, I arrived in prayers for the salvation of my son, read the akathist to Blessed Xenia of Petersburg. But the son melted and lost hope for recovery. During the month, the temperature kept up to 40 °. The decision came to go to St. Petersburg to the Smolensk cemetery to the grave of Xenia the Blessed. Once, while praying in the church at Kondratievka station, I earnestly asked in front of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos for the taming of the flame from my son and took a blessing from Father Alexy for a trip to St. Petersburg. It was scary to leave my son alone, there was no money for a long trip. Taking oil from the lamp of the Healer Panteleimon, I went to Donetsk late in the evening. On the train, she talked to a man about faith, and then told the man about her misfortune. At Yasinovataya station my companion got off. He gave me a blue booklet and a vessel with water: “Here is a booklet for you, but here is some water, you need it more now.” It was a little book about the Peschanskaya Icon of the Mother of God, and the water came from its source. At 12 at night I was at the clinic where my son was. Laying his head on my shoulder, he wept, saying that there was no longer any hope for recovery and no strength for patience. I gave him water to drink, anointed the wounds with oil. During this time, he was in severe pain. In the evening the temperature was 40 degrees, and in the morning it dropped to normal. My son asked for food for the first time, even shaved, and in his eyes I saw the sparkle of life, for the first time in a long time. The next Sunday, I was at a prayer service at the Peschanskaya miraculous icon of the Mother of God, tearfully begging the Most Holy Theotokos to help my son rise from his bed of illness. Taking the oil that the rector of the temple, Father Joseph, gave me, I went to the hospital, where I asked the attending physician to drip oil from the lamp from the miraculous icon of the Most Holy Theotokos into ointment and put it into wounds, which was done during dressings. The wound began to heal rapidly. The son also used oil internally, he constantly drank holy water from a prayer service in front of the miraculous icon. The wound healed, but a fistula remained, through which air went into the tube into the lung. At my request, the doctor introduced this healing oil into it, although he hesitated. After some time, the tube was removed, napkins with oil were applied to the wounds. The son left the hospital healed. Now he constantly drinks water from a prayer service, all hope is in the Most Holy Theotokos, and She, merciful, works miracles. A resident of Kharkov, K.E., visiting holy places, visited the Ascension Church in the city of Izyum in April 1997: “... It so happened that my daughter fell ill, just before Easter. She anointed her daughter with oil - and the disease was gone. Before that, also with oil from the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Peschanskaya, the boil on her face was cured of her daughter. At work, after anointing with this oil, my employee did not need to go for an operation to cut out the boil. Another employee had a sister who was ill like a woman, but after taking this oil, everything went away for her, so the doctors could not even make a diagnosis.” “In October 1994, grief befell me: doctors discovered cancer of the female organs, and in January 1995 they performed an operation, although they did not want to do it, believing that it was hopeless. In March, I went home. They told my relatives: “She will live for six months,” which I only learned about in 1997. After I was discharged, I was treated for a long time with various means that I could only read about. But I didn’t get well, I just supported the body ... I read in one book that the physical condition of a person depends on the spiritual, that you need to turn only to the Lord God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, go to church, visit holy places and generally live according to the laws of God, observe posts, although at first it will be difficult ... I started going to the church in Balakleya, but I didn’t feel grace there, maybe because I still didn’t believe with all my heart. Once I met a former employee who underwent the same operation and had already fully recovered, thanks to the Peschanskaya miraculous icon of the Mother of God, in the Ascension Cathedral in the city of Izyum. I began to go every Sunday and on holidays to Izyum. I took oil from the lampada of the Peschanskaya Mother of God and consecrated water with prayer. And I used it all. Now I feel healthy, I have completely recovered from the disease.

As the veterans of the Great Patriotic War said, and the soldiers who went through the crucible of other military conflicts, “there are no atheists in the war and in the trenches.”

Many Soviet soldiers after the war joined the ranks of the clergy or became inhabitants of monasteries. Others did not go that far, but forever in their hearts retained faith in God and the firm conviction that it was the Lord or the Mother of God who saved them from death.

The mother of God herself experienced the pain of loss when Her son, the God-Man Christ, was on the cross. then even shameful, deprive of life. Therefore, She so vividly responds to the prayers of mothers for her children and so soon comes to their aid in a moment of danger. Some cases of the help of the Mother of God and the appearance of Her soldiers on the battlefield are presented to the attention of readers:

The phenomenon on the Kursk Bulge

“My uncle saw the Mother of God during the war - it was on the Kursk Bulge. She appeared in the sky, pointed with her hand in the direction of the Germans, as if indicating the direction of our offensive. The whole company saw this - and everyone fell on their knees, everyone believed and prayed heartily to the Most Holy Theotokos. And the war from that day flowed, indeed, in a different direction - the Russians began to advance. So my uncle, a front-line soldier, became a believer ... ”- recalled one of our contemporaries in the book“ Orthodox Miracles of the 20th Century ”

“And you will serve me all your life!”

In his youth he was an unbeliever. When the Great Patriotic War began, he, an officer, was called to the front. At parting, his mother gave him an icon of the Mother of God and bequeathed: “Son, when it’s difficult for you, get the icon, pray to the Virgin - She will help you!” The mother's parting words were not erased from memory: they warmed, inspired hope.

Once, with a group of his soldiers, he was surrounded in the forest, was wounded. On three sides, the Germans, on the fourth - a viscous swamp. It was then that he remembered his mother's mandate. He lagged a little behind his own, took out an icon and, as best he could, began to pray: “Virgin Mother of God, if you exist, help!” He prayed and returned to his own, and an old woman stood next to them, turning to them: “What, have you lost your way, sons? Come on, I'll show you the path!" And she led everyone along the path to her.

Father Alipy fell behind again and said to the old woman: “Well, mother, I don’t know how to thank you!” And the “old woman” answers him: “And you will still serve me all your life!” - and disappeared as if it never happened. It was then that he remembered his mother's farewell parting words, and only then did he understand what kind of "old woman" she was!

And those words turned out to be true: indeed, he then served the Mother of God all his life - for many years he was the abbot of the Holy Dormition Pskov-Caves Monastery.

This is how the abbot of the Pskov-Caves Monastery, Archimandrite Alipiy (Voronov), spoke about himself.

Lamentation of the Virgin - the story of a war veteran

The place where we sat in the trenches seemed somehow special. It was as if someone was helping us: the Germans attacked us with superior forces, and we pushed them back, and our losses were surprisingly small.

And on that day, the battle was especially fierce. The entire no-man's land was covered with the bodies of the dead - both ours and the Germans. The battle died down only in the evening.

We were busy, who, what, while waiting for dinner to be brought to us. I took out a pouch, lit a cigarette, and my countryman, Ivan Bozhkov, stepped aside.

Suddenly I see: Bozhkov stuck his head over the parapet.

“Ivan,” I shout, “what are you doing?” Are you waiting for the sniper?

Bozhkov sank into the trench - not himself. And says to me quietly:

- Petya, there is a woman crying ...

“Did you think where a woman could come from?”

But when the “music” from the Germans died down, we heard that somewhere a woman was really crying. Bozhkov put a helmet on his head and climbed out onto the parapet.

“The fog is swirling there,” he tells us. “And in the fog, along the no-man's-land, a woman walks towards us… She leans over the dead and cries. God! She looks like the Mother of God… Brothers! After all, the Lord has chosen us for this memorable moment, a miracle is happening before our eyes. Before us is a holy vision!

We cautiously peered out of the trench. A woman in dark and long clothes walked along a no-man's land in clouds of fog. She bowed to the ground and wept loudly.

Here someone says:

- And the Germans also look at the vision. Look at their helmets sticking out over the trenches... Yes, something is wrong here. Look how tall she is, two times taller than an ordinary woman...

Lord, how She cried, right in her soul everything turned over! As we watched the apparition, a strange mist covered most of the no-man's-land.

I thought:

“Wow, as if with a shroud covers the dead ...”

And the Woman, so similar to the Mother of God, suddenly stopped crying, turned towards our trenches and bowed.

- The Mother of God bowed in our direction!

Victory is ours! Bozhkov said loudly.

A woman with two warriors in ancient armor - a story of a front-line soldier

In one of the battles, he was shell-shocked and remained lying on the ground under the dead bodies of his fighting friends. When he woke up, he saw a picture that struck him: a woman walked across the field with two warriors in ancient armor.

The warriors had bowls in their hands. The woman took something from the bowls and put some of the soldiers lying on the ground into her mouth. She went up to the wounded man, but he did not have a vulture to get up, he wanted to shout, but he could not.

“And this coward,” the woman said, and walked on. It is not clear where his strength came from, he got up and shouted:

I'm not a coward, help me.

“We'll see,” the woman replied, “find the Gospel in Slavonic and always carry it with you—then you'll return home alive.”

Our troops had already retreated far, and he had to get out of the encirclement. In a nearby village, he found a Gospel in Slavonic in an abandoned house and hid it on his chest.

When he left the encirclement, of course, he ended up in a penal company and almost until the end of the war he fought along with the penalized. The gospel was sewn into clothes and constantly carried with him.

Whatever alterations I had not visited, the penalty box was sent to the most hopeless places, into breakthroughs, etc. It happened that after the battle half of the unit remained alive - and he was among them; sometimes there were four left - and he was among them, and it happened that he was the only one left alive.

And yet he walked along the roads of war to victory and returned home.

Gray-haired Kiselyov - the story of a priest

A truly believing man, Fr. Oleg (Oleg Viktorovich Kiselev) became during the Great Patriotic War. In 1944, having already passed many front-line roads, he ended up near Leningrad. The Germans withdrew with heavy fighting and heavy losses, but fought fiercely.

“There was a long enemy artillery preparation,” Father Oleg recalls, “then the German tanks went, ours knocked them out with guns, and my partner and I with an anti-tank rifle.

We knocked out two tanks, but the Germans broke through and began to “iron” our trenches: they ran into the trench and, having passed through it with caterpillars, tried to crush soldiers, weapons, destroy the trench ...

We fired at the tank, but it moved forward: the ground crumbled, the tank roared, drowning out everything. I was under it, the caterpillars almost touched me, the trench sank, and the tank also sank. I was covered with earth, the tank tossed and turned over me. I'm about to be crushed. Not fear seized me, but boundless horror!

And then a prayer flashed in my mind: “Lord Jesus, Son of God! Holy Mother of God! Save and help!”

I put my whole soul into this frantic prayer to God and the Most Holy Theotokos. In hundredths of a second, my whole life flashed before me, but the thought of God, my guilt before Him, pierced especially clearly.

And then ... The tank, having ironed the trench, crawled further, but was hit - I found out about this later. The soldiers dug me up, pulled me out, poured vodka down my throat, and I quickly came to my senses. The lieutenant came up and exclaimed in surprise: “Guys! Take a look at Kiselev, he is all gray-haired!” Indeed, in a few minutes spent under the caterpillars of the tank, I turned gray.

There, on the battlefield, I made a vow to the Lord God and the Most Holy Theotokos to become a priest after the war, which I fulfilled.

Mother of God Virgin Mary comes to the aid of everyone who turns to her. She forgives, she heals, she helps, she guides. The prayer to the Mother of God for work is famous among people as an effective and powerful appeal to the Queen of Heaven. For help in work, the Mother of God is asked, both before the start of any business, and completely desperate.

In the Orthodox world, there are a large number of Images of the Blessed Virgin Mary:

• Mother of God of Kazan
• Mother of God of Vladimir
• Mother of God Seven Arrows
• Mother of God "Recovery of the Lost"
• Pochaev Mother of God and others.

And all these images of the Intercessor help us in difficult times, heal and strengthen our faith.

How to pray to the Virgin for getting a job

The Heavenly Queen, as well as all the Saints without exception, must be addressed only with pure thoughts and good motives.

The icon of the Virgin Mary is absolutely in every home. In moments of spiritual hardship, let go of all thoughts and ask the Lord God for forgiveness for sins, and then sincerely turn to the Mother of God and ask for help before her Image.

You can pray to the Almighty and the Mother of God even without knowing the prayers, except for the Our Father. Sincere prayer, according to the truth of a believing person, God will always hear and do everything to help the one who asks.

In the Christian denomination, there is more than one prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary, I would like to consider the main ones that will help with employment.

Prayer of the Mother of God for work

People pray before the icon of the Kazan Mother of God in order to find a job and find their way in life. The main thing to observe is to ask the Mother of God for something that will not harm anyone, otherwise everything will return to the one who asks, but with interest.

Prayer of the Kazan Mother of God for help in finding a job:

“O Most Holy Lady Lady Mother of God! With fear, faith and love, falling down before Your honest icon, we pray to You: do not turn Your face away from those who resort to You, implore, merciful Mother, Your Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, may we preserve our peaceful country, may it be established in piety May it keep its Holy Church unshakably, and deliver it from unbelief, heresies and schism.

Not imams of other help, not imams of other hope, unless you, Most Pure Virgin: You are the all-powerful helper and intercessor of Christians. Deliver all those who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from libel evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, illnesses, troubles and from sudden death.

Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thought, the correction of sinful lives and the remission of sins, may all thankfully sing of Thy majesty and mercy shown to us here on earth, we will be made worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven, and there with all the saints we will glorify the most honorable and magnificent name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen"!

When looking for a good job, in order to speed up and improve the search process, you need to retire to a room (be sure to be alone), under the burning flame of church candles, read 3 prayers to the Mother of God for work:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Help me find a good job and a decent salary. Do not be angry at a sinful request, but do not refuse grace-filled mercy either. Let there be a reward for work. Amen".

“Oh, Holy Mother of God, Virgin Mary. Help me to find a new job and protect me from deceitful people. Ask the Lord God for a holy blessing and reward according to my faith. Let it be so. Amen".

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Help me in the difficult search for a good job and reject all the misfortunes of demons. If an envious person or a sorcerer tried, do not punish him, but cleanse my soul from fierce filth. May your job search be successful. Let it be so. Amen".

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for help in work – very strong and efficient.

Strong, strong faith and hope that lives in the soul will certainly be able to strengthen the spirit of the one who asks in a difficult situation. You may not know all the words of prayer, and most importantly, sincerely ask for intercession and help.

It is best to communicate with the Saints either before bed or after sleep. Focus, distract from any thoughts, and tune in to communication with the Almighty. If the words of prayer come from the very heart, then they will certainly be heard.

The prayer of the Mother of God for help in work will help everyone find a job and climb the steps of the career ladder, but it is important not to forget about gratitude. If the request for help has not been fulfilled, in no case should one renounce the Saints, for everything has its place and its hour.

God bless you!
