Prayer before the icon of the Mother of God “Merciful”, also called the All-Merciful:

Mercifully accept this little prayer of ours and bring Your Beloved Son to the throne of all!

And most of all, He will not deprive us of His mercy and may mercifully remember us in His Kingdom, where You shine in unfading glory, and we too will remain there, glorifying Your All-Merciful Son and Your All-Merciful, all-bold intercession towards Him always - now and ever and unto the ages of ages. !

The compiler of this text is in dire need of God’s mercy, improvement and solution to a number of vital issues and asks for prayers for himself and his loved ones: For health

About repose

Anna Vasily Mikhail Mikhail Pelagia Kirill Gregory Ivan Maria Nikolai Vladimir Nina The compiler of this text is in dire need of prayerful help in his work for the benefit of the Church and Russia and in protection from people who are actively hindering this activity.

This akathist is the most dear to me of all the ones I have compiled. Although all designer items are expensive in their own way, this one stands apart. Firstly, it has not been published anywhere else, except on mine on the author’s websites “Igor Khramov Teselkin”. Even the site administrator is an akathist to the people. Ru, on which all the other akathists compiled by the author of these lines are presented, did not post it. Why - perhaps it will become clear from the texts located at the links below: Read and draw your own conclusions. I would be extremely grateful if one of my readers copies this publication and gives the opportunity to familiarize myself with the text to as many people as possible. One of my friends brought me a tiny wooden icon of the Most Pure “Merciful” from Greece.

Rejoice, you who darken all the light with Your Christmas, all the evil tricks of the enemy! Rejoice, you who show an inexhaustible source of mercy and grace through Your Christmas!

Apparently, this blessed country, which became the birthplace of the akathist, like Rus', has a special boldness towards the Most Pure One. After this, I had the idea that it would be nice to find a person who had a sufficient command of the original language, who could try to translate this text into the language of the Greek Orthodox Church. I would be extremely grateful if any of the readers would help with this.

This work, like many others, was published on the portal poetry ru and prose ru. It was published on the prose ru website and deleted - hidden from showing to readers. I was blocked on PROZE websites. RU and POEMS. RU at the same time. My ill-wishers from the church community, who constantly bully me, complain to administrators and demand that my works be removed from sites, have achieved their goal. About one and a half thousand texts for poetry.ru and about two hundred texts for prose. Ru are not available to my reader. I ask those who care to pray that my work will not be in vain.

I need your prayer and material help. My mother and I have a severe form of diabetes. We need expensive treatment and diet - nutrition, which is also part of the treatment.
