Orthodox Christians cannot imagine their lives without the spiritual help and prayerful intercession of our heavenly helpers - the saints. Being ordinary people in earthly life, they walked their path in such a way that they received the highest reward from the Lord and eternal life. At the same time, each saint was forced to struggle with his sins and passions, which exist in every person. Having walked their life's path with dignity, the saints of God help us after their death with their prayers and intercession before God. We can communicate with them through prayer. Many Orthodox Christians note that the prayer to Paisius the Holy Mountain has special power.

Saint Paisius Svyatogorets
One of the most famous and deeply revered monks of Mount Athos. From a young age, he decided for himself what he would devote his life to. As a young man, Arseny (as he was called in the world) decided on his future destiny. But all his life he thought first about others, and then about himself.
Therefore, before implementing all his plans, he served in the army, helped his sisters arrange their lives, and only after that went to Holy Athos. There his new life began. For several years, Arseny was a novice, after which he became a student of Father Simeon. It was Father Simeon who tonsured him into the minor schema a couple of years later. From that moment on, he began to bear the name Paisiy.
Schemamonk Paisiy wrote a large number of theological works on a variety of topics:

CANON TO REVEREND PAISIUS THE GREAT ABOUT DELIVERY FROM THE TORMENT OF THE DEAD WITHOUT REPENTANCE
The Monk Paisius the Great was born in Egypt. Since childhood, I fell in love with monastic life. Having renounced his will, he lived under the spiritual guidance of Saint Pavma, fulfilling his commands in everything. The holy ascetic diligently read spiritual books and became especially famous for the feat of fasting and prayer. The main behest of St. Paisius was one: to do nothing according to one’s own will, but to fulfill the will of one’s mentors in everything. Weighed down by the violation of silence, the monk withdrew to a more distant cave. One day he was caught up in the heavenly abodes and was honored there to partake of immaterial Divine food. The Monk Paisius was distinguished by great humility, performed feats of fasting and prayer, but, if possible, hid them from outsiders. When asked by the monks which virtue is above all, the monk answered: “The one that is done in secret and about which no one knows.” The Monk Paisius has the grace from God to deliver those who died without repentance from eternal torment. Memory of St. Paisius the Great on June 19 (July 2, civil style). The canon is taken from an ancient canon; it is referred to as being sung for deliverance from the torment of those who died without repentance in his book “On the Commemoration of the Dead according to the Charter of the Orthodox Church” by an authoritative expert on statutory worship, Bishop Afanasy (Sakharov).

You, in the purity of your heart, were kindled, taking the water and touching the Inviolable One, His mind on His nose and, drinking the water, you were enriched with the gift of miracles, healing the sick, driving away demons from people and delivering sinners from torment through your prayer. O Reverend Father Paisius, I pray to you, and pray for me, as God promised you, for from these I am the first sinner, may the Lord give me time to repent and forgive my sin, as He is Good and Lover of Mankind, and with everyone I will sing to Him : hallelujah.

Passion winner, helper for souls, prayer book for all, intercessor and mentor for everyone’s salvation, sighing from the depths of our hearts, we earnestly and fervently pray to you, Reverend Paisius! Hear and help us, do not reject or despise us, but rather hear in humility the hearts of those who flow to you. You, reverend, diligently strived for the salvation of your neighbors and led many sinners to the light of salvation. He considered excessive exploits to be a tranquility in itself, extremely wonderful, and, always burning with love for the Lord, you were vouchsafed the appearance of Christ the Savior, and you imitated Him for the people who died, imitating love, and for those who renounced Christ. Hear us, O most praiseworthy Pais, for we are unworthy to pray for the granting of the great mercy of the Lord to us, since we are sinners, and we have defiled lips and burdened hearts, and we suffer under the burden of sins, and our prayer does not reach the Lord. For this sake, pray for us with your strong and God-pleasing prayer, Saint Paisios, so that our relatives, our neighbors and those we know, who have died without repentance, will be delivered from eternal torment, and our Savior will accept your prayer in good will and give them His mercy instead of good deeds, free them , we believe, from suffering and will dwell in the villages of the righteous, and will merit us to die in repentance, so that together we may glorify the All-Holy and magnificent name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.

Icon of Elder Paisius the Holy Mountain, the meaning of the holy face
Less than twenty years had passed after the saint’s canonization, when his holy face began to enjoy great popularity among Orthodox Christians. Today, an icon depicting an elder can be found in many Orthodox churches. There are several types of images of the saint. On one of them the monk is depicted waist-deep with a gray beard in a black cassock. In another type of icon, he is also depicted in a black cassock, but at full height.
In one hand he has a staff, and in the other hand the saint holds a scroll with a written prayer, or how else they interpret what is written with instructions. Since during his lifetime the monk predicted quite a lot and gave instructions to believers. This image plays a huge role in Orthodoxy. He helps many people gain faith and be healed of illnesses. It can be easily purchased at an icon shop and stored at home.
Do you have a telegram? If yes, then you will like our Orthodox group: t.me/molitvaikona, come in, we are waiting for you!
According to the clergy, it can be argued that this is one of the most powerful icons, prayer in front of which helps to get rid of many types of cancer. Also, many believers are interested in which church in Moscow the icon of Paisius the Holy Mountain is located. You can offer prayer requests before the holy face in the Church of the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste. You can also pray in front of the image in the Leningrad region in the chapel, which is located on the territory of the oncology center in the village of Pesochny.

How should one read prayers to Paisius the Holy Mountain?
Before reading prayers to Paisius the Svyatogorets, you need to understand the rules for reading prayers:
There is no need to tell anyone what you are praying for. You can read the prayer to Paisius the Holy Mountain for healing not only for yourself, but also for your loved ones. You can pray to the miracle worker at home, the main thing is that you have an icon with his image before your eyes.

How to correctly read the prayer and akathist to Paisius the Holy Mountain
When deciding for the first time to start reading any prayer books, many new Christians do not know how prayer should be structured correctly. First of all, you need to understand that reading sacred texts is not a magical act. It is absolutely pointless to read a text mechanically, to read it a certain number of times or in a certain place.
Icon of Paisius the Holy Mountain
Important. Prayer is a conversation with God, real living communication with the Creator himself. Therefore, there is no place for external formalities without internal content.
The reading text itself can be found in the Orthodox prayer book. You should carefully look for Orthodox prayer, since today very often, under the guise of Orthodox prayers, various conspiracies and amulets are found, which is completely incompatible with Christianity.

You can pray to Saint Paisius both at home and in church. Of course, participation in church services is an integral part of the life of a Christian. However, in situations where it is not possible to visit the temple, there is no need to abandon prayer work. It is advisable to have an icon of Paisius the Holy Mountain at home, in front of which you can light a candle or lamp.
If a person finds the text in Church Slavonic complex and incomprehensible, you can find a Russian translation or even address the saint in your own words. The most important thing is a person’s inner attitude, his sincere desire to change his life in accordance with Christian teaching.
As for the reading of the akathist, in the church you can order a prayer service to Paisius the Svyatogorets with an akathist. Such church-wide prayer has great power. It is highly advisable not only to submit notes for the prayer service, but also to personally attend the service so that, together with all the other parishioners, they can collectively address the saint.
Paisiy Svyatogorets and Patriarch Bartholomew
Oh, holy, venerable and God-bearing Father Paisius, our beloved patron and God-wise mentor, who ascended along the ladder of virtues from earthly existence to the Kingdom of Heaven and received the grace to intercede for us before the Throne of our All-Merciful Lord; We pray to you: turn us away from the path of our sins and teach us to the Lord to bear the perfect fruits of repentance and renewal of our souls in Christ.
Holy Father, during the days of your earthly life you healed many serious illnesses and incurable illnesses, healing souls from sin and sorrow; Now, standing before God, bow His mercy to us, so that for the sake of your intercession He will also heal us, who honor your holy memory with love, and give us strength in temptation, courage in the fight against the spirit of evil, seeking our eternal destruction,
May He grant us forgiveness of all our sins, which we have committed from our youth to the present day in thought, word and deed, and may He teach us what we should do in order to serve Him, as it is fitting to serve our neighbors with love and humility.
To her, Holy Father, instruct us, following the example of your holy life, filled with love and self-sacrifice, rejecting the shackles of sinful life, to cry out to the heavenly palaces, where we will praise our All-Merciful Trinitarian Lord forever and ever. Amen.
