It is very important to bless your children from early childhood, because whatever you call a boat, that’s how it will float. Addressing a child like “stupid”, “little pig”, etc. akin to a curse. And the appeal “my angel”, “my good one” (and other similar ones), like a good grain, will one day germinate, bearing small, medium or large fruit.

Maternal prayer for children - how to pray correctly

Mothers who spend most of their lives in prayer know how to do it, but most are not always sure that they are asking for help correctly and it bothers them.

First of all, it is necessary to make a prayer request for children in a calm environment and it does not matter whether you do it at home or in church. God is everywhere at the same time and he will hear you in any case, especially if the request is for the salvation of the soul. If possible, you can light a candle, but this is not a requirement.

A mother can turn to God both by reading a specific prayer for her children and in her own words. In more difficult circumstances, it is advisable to go to church and turn with faith to the necessary icons, which will speed up the fulfillment of the request. Prayers uttered from a pure mother’s heart will soon be heard by heavenly forces. If, during the period of prayer for various benefits and for the health of the children, the mother does this automatically, without investing much meaning, then the result will be negative.

The best time to pray for children is at dawn, when all living things are just beginning to wake up from sleep. Thus, the child will receive powerful support and protection from the very morning until the end of the day, which is important. In the evening before going to bed, you should also pray and bless the children, so that the Lord will protect them from nightmares and bad dreams. The more often mothers say prayers, the safer their children live in this world.

Matrona Moscow Prayer

The Lord is our strength

Of course, we turn to the Savior when we need help. And situations with children are no exception.

A prayer for the blessing of children, a mother’s request for children, will be heard by God if it is sincere and heartfelt. There is no need to think that mutter certain words in front of the icons, and manna from heaven will immediately fall on the child. God is not a goldfish or a magic wand to fulfill our desires after certain words. Prayer is a dialogue with the Savior. And when we communicate with our loved ones, we ask them for something, we don’t mutter under our breath. Like, my child needs this and that. Hurry up and I'll go.

No, dear readers. You need to turn to God with all your heart. Especially when it comes to the well-being of children and asking for them.

The text of the prayer looks like this:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Thy Most Pure Mother, hear me, Thy sinful and unworthy servant. Lord, in the mercy of Your power my child, have mercy and save him for Your name’s sake. Lord, forgive him all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, that he committed before You. Lord, guide him on the true path of Your commandments and enlighten him and enlighten him with Your light of Christ, for the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body. Lord, bless him in the house, around the house, at school, in the field, at work and on the road, and in every place of Your possession. Lord, protect him under the shelter of Your Saints from a flying bullet, arrow, knife, sword, poison, fire, flood, from a deadly ulcer (atomic rays) and from vain death. Lord, protect him from visible and invisible enemies, from all troubles, evils and misfortunes. Lord, heal him from all diseases, cleanse him from all filth (wine, tobacco, drugs) and ease his mental suffering and sorrow. Lord, grant him the grace of Your Holy Spirit for many years of life, health and chastity. Lord, increase and strengthen his mental abilities and physical strength. Lord, give him Your blessing for a godly family life and godly procreation. Lord, grant me, Thy unworthy and sinful servant, a parental blessing on my child at this time of morning, day, evening and night for the sake of Thy name, for Thy Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen.

This is one of the prayers for blessing children. But this prayer was composed by the Monk Ambrose of Optina. It is short enough and easy to remember:

Lord, You alone weigh everything, you can do everything, and you want everyone to be saved and to come to the mind of Truth. Enlighten my children (names) with the knowledge of Thy truth and Thy Holy will and strengthen them to walk according to Thy commandments and have mercy on me, a sinner.

How to receive a maternal blessing as an adult

If you definitely want to receive a Blessing from your mother personally, then you will have to express to her face all the good and all the bad that you have accumulated over many years. And then she, in a “good” mood, should give you the Blessing. There is a more accessible way to solve this problem - just write a letter and burn it. And it doesn’t matter whether she is alive or dead, lives far from you or in the same house with you. At the same time, telling your mother that you asked her for a Blessing is not necessary and even undesirable. Even if your relationship with your mother is very trusting, this should remain your little secret. Your letter is enough for mom to hear you. First of all, you need to choose a time and place so that no one disturbs you while writing the letter. Place a photo of your mother on the table, and if there is no photo, imagine that your mother is sitting opposite you and you want to talk to her. You can light a candle.

1. Read the prayers from Appendix 1, and begin your letter with emotion:

2. " Hello mother! I am writing to you from far away. I am writing you this letter with a request: Give me, mother, a blessing for life, abundance and prosperity. I live, Mom, without your blessing...”

And then you must write to your mother everything that you once wanted to tell her, but could not for some reason. These can be grievances and reproaches, starting from early childhood, as well as unspoken words of love and gratitude. Whatever your hand and heart wants to write must be written. Such a letter is not easy to write, and many tears may be shed. Cry without holding back - these are tears of relief.

If you want, you can tell your mother about your life, your joys and sorrows. When you write, do not pay attention to mistakes, the beauty of your handwriting and the completeness of your thoughts. No one will ever read this letter, and you don’t need to re-read it either. Your main task is to throw out everything unspoken on paper in order to restore and establish the finest threads of your relationship with your mother. You need to write until your thoughts dry up, and when your hand, as if by itself, writes: “ I bless you .” 3. When you finish writing, burn the letter without rereading it and write down the date and time you finished writing.

Theotokos - Mother of light, love and goodness

The subtitle is a line from a wonderful song. Alas, here we are discussing prayers for the blessing of children. Therefore, let us temporarily put aside all the songs and return to our prayer rule.

The Mother of God is our Hope. Who, besides Her, will help people? Will he protect them from evil and troubles, will he cover them with His Omophorion? And being the Mother, how can the Mother of God not hear her mother crying out to her with all her heart? The Virgin Mary hears us and helps our children. You just need to ask properly.

Imagine that we really, really need something. How do we ask? Sometimes with tears, passionately and pleadingly. It’s the same here, prayer should be fiery.

The text of this prayer was distributed to believers in the Shuisky Monastery. This is the Ivanovo region. It is also available on a trusted Orthodox website. Therefore, you can safely use:

O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your shelter my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, pray to my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Protection of Your servants. Mother of God, introduce me to the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names) caused by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Your, Most Pure, heavenly protection. Amen.

The ritual needs to be revived!

If the parents of the couple themselves received the blessing, it is a little easier for them. You won't have to think about the words for long. How to bless your son before the wedding? Yes, just pass on the parting words heard before your wedding, so to speak, “by inheritance”!

If the parents of the newlyweds did not receive blessings, this is not a problem. You just need to learn a prayer and come up with words of wishes for fidelity, tenderness, love, prosperity, prosperity, etc. In general, everything you need for a happy married life. By blessing their children sincerely and from the heart, parents will give them a feeling of support for many, many years.

Prayer before the icon “Recovery of the Lost”

The prayer for the blessing of children must come from the mother. How does it happen with us? We remember about God only when we understand that the child has gone downhill. In the modern world, where there are almost no authorities, it is very easy to take this path. Just what should parents do? How does the mother feel: she understands that she has missed her child? In some places she indulged unnecessarily, in others she pretended that she had not noticed any deviations from the norm. Or maybe, on the contrary, she held her offspring in too prickly gloves?

Now why talk about this? The child needs help. And before it’s too late, turn to the Mother of God for help. Pray before the image of Her “Seeking the Lost.” Here is the text of the prayer; the akathist can be purchased at any Orthodox store. It costs from 30 to 50 rubles.

Rejoice, Blessed Virgin Mary, who bore the Eternal Child and God in Her arms. Ask Him to give peace to the world and salvation to our souls. The Son, O Mother of God, tells You that He will fulfill all Your requests for good. For this reason, we fall down and pray, and those who hope in Thee, that we may not perish, we call Thy name: For Thou art, O Lady, the seeker of the lost.
Zealous Intercessor, Compassionate Mother of the Lord, I come running to You, the accursed one and the most sinful person above all; Hear the voice of my prayer and hear my cry and groaning. For my iniquities have exceeded my head, and I, like a ship in the abyss, am plunging into the sea of my sins. But You, All-Good and Merciful Lady, do not despise me, who is desperate and perishing in sins; have mercy on me, who repent of my evil deeds, and turn my lost, cursed soul to the right path. On You, my Lady Theotokos, I place all my hope. Thou, Mother of God, preserve and keep me under Thy roof, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

What icons will you need?

Let's say the parting words have been prepared. But that's not all. What else would a son’s blessing require before a wedding? Prayer is an obligatory part of the ritual. It is read according to tradition in front of the icons of the Mother of God (usually of Kazan) and the Savior. At the same time, the son needs to kneel.

The Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is one of the most revered images of the Mother of God. Since ancient times, she has been considered the intercessor and patroness of all people. A huge number of amazing salvations and miracles are attributed to her. This icon must be used to bless the newlyweds before the wedding. They pray to the Mother of God for protection of the house from evil forces, for fidelity, for the birth of children.

The icon of the Savior Almighty, or the Savior, is the most common image of Christ. In one hand on it, Jesus holds the Gospel, indicating the right path in life, and with the other hand he blesses the one who looks at the image. They ask the icon for family well-being and happiness. She is the first to be brought into the newlyweds' house.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

A mother's prayer for the blessing of children is the most powerful. The very fact that the mother prays plays a significant role. Who, besides her, would pray for children with such trepidation? With love and hope of helping them, who will resort to God, the Mother of God and the saints of God?

No one will ask the way mom does. She has the power to help her child prayerfully by turning to the offspring’s guardian angel.

Is the child baptized? Then it's okay, he has a guardian angel. If the sacrament of baptism has not been performed on the child, this section can be skipped.

Holy Guardian Angel of my children (names), cover them with your protection from the arrows of the demon, from the eyes of the seducer, and keep their hearts in angelic purity. Amen.

Icon selection

The images of the Kazan Mother of God and the Almighty Savior are usually chosen as images for blessing, both in separate frames and in the form of a “fold” - images connected to each other.

Traditionally, the Mother of God is considered the patroness of the whole world, but especially of women and mothers (future and present). Therefore, the bride is blessed with the image of the Kazan Mother of God. Jesus Christ is the patron of everyone, but the male image usually accompanies the blessing of the groom.

Both newlyweds are greeted with either two icons or the one that the parents consider more suitable for the ceremony.

Note! If the images were not purchased in a church store, they must be consecrated in the temple before the ceremony! The best option is for parents to purchase paraphernalia when visiting a temple or holy monastery in order to pray for their children.

In a wedding ceremony, the blessing ceremony can be performed once, twice or more. In the first case, parents meet the newlyweds with the icons after the registry office before the walk or after the walk, at the entrance to the banquet hall (another place of the feast).

Sometimes, for separate parting words for the young, personalized icons (of the patron saint), a guardian angel, and family images are used.

In families that follow the canons of Orthodoxy, a slightly different order of blessing is adopted:

From the point of view of the church, only baptized people can receive and give a blessing with an icon!

At the time of the ceremony, the mother or father holds the icons in special towels, purchased or embroidered by the bride before the wedding. In the same towels the images are placed on the shrine or stored.

After the wedding celebrations are completed, the icons remain with the newlyweds; they are placed in the “red corner” in a religious family or stored in a secluded place. Subsequently, these same images are used to bless newborn children and grandchildren, during family prayers, and to “pray” sick and endangered family members.

Prayer to John the Baptist

The beloved disciple of Christ, who stood at the Cross at the time of the Crucifixion. Jesus Christ entrusted him with his Most Pure Mother.

“Behold your Mother... Behold your son...” - there, at the Cross, the adoption of the Christian race by the Mother of God took place. And the Apostle John was present at this, becoming Her son.

A mother's prayer for the blessing of her children has extraordinary power. So ask for blessings and help from John the Baptist:

To the Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, do not despise me who repents, but copulating with the heavenly ones, pray to the Lady for me, unworthy, sad, weak and sad, fallen into many troubles, burdened by the stormy thoughts of my mind: for I am a den of evil deeds, by no means have an end to sinful customs; For my mind is nailed down by earthly things. What will I do, I do not know, and to whom will I resort, so that my soul will be saved? Only to you, Saint John, give the same name of grace, as you are before the Lord, according to the Mother of God, greater than all who are born, for you were deemed worthy to touch the top of the King Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God: pray for Him for my sinful soul, so from now on , at the first ten hour, I will bear a good burden and receive compensation with the last. To her, the Baptist of Christ, the honest Forerunner, the ultimate prophet, the first martyr in grace, the teacher of fasters and hermits, the teacher of purity and the close friend of Christ, I pray to you, I resort to you, do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, having fallen into many sins; renew my soul with repentance, as with the second baptism, of which you are the ruler: with baptism you wash away sin, and preach repentance for the cleansing of every bad deed; Cleanse me with the sins of the defiled and force me to enter, even if nothing bad enters, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

Heavenly patrons of children. Which Saint in what cases should a mother pray for her children?

Depending on the situation, you can pray for children by turning to their heavenly patrons. to the image of the Most Holy Theotokos for help. In this case, the age of the child does not matter. They also turn to John the Baptist , because there is a very strong prayer of a mother for children, and he does not remain indifferent.

Prayer Virgin Mary Hail text in Russian

This Saint is well known to everyone from biblical history and many believers treat him with great respect. He is the last of the prophets who foretold the coming of Jesus. Many people came to him to repent and take the path of truth. This man brought light to this world and to everyone who came to him for consolation.

With any ailment of the children, the mother can turn with prayer to the Great Martyr Artemy and the Holy Martyr Uar . They are responsible for small children and are ready to protect them. One of the most famous healers is the Great Martyr Panteleimon . You can also ask him for the health of children in prayer.

If a child lacks talent and cannot realize himself creatively, a mother’s prayer to St. Barbara . She is favorable to children and will give them various talents and protect them from harm.

If the children have already grown up and entered adulthood, the mother should still pray for them. Especially when looking for a job. In this case, you can ask for help from Spiridon of Triumph, or St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Mitrofan of Voronezh will help to improve your life . Demetrius of Rostov is the patron of orphans and the poor, so a mother, in prayer for her children, can ask him for a life without poverty and poverty. He will definitely help.

Most mothers dream that their children will always be obedient and do what is right with all justice. In matters of education, you can trust the martyr Sophia and turn to her in prayer; she will definitely take care of this.

If the baby has recently been born and his sleep pattern has been disturbed, then it is best for the mother to read prayers at the head of the bed. These prayers are addressed to the Holy Seven Youths of Ephesus .

The most effective maternal prayer for a child is the one addressed to the heavenly patron after whom the child himself is named at the time of baptism or at the time of birth. In this case, it is necessary to read a prayer in front of his icon at home or in church.

If the child is on the road, then the mother can calmly ask St. Nicholas the Wonderworker , since he patronizes travelers and those on the road. He can help not only in this situation, but also under completely different circumstances. The main condition is to ask with faith, humility and confidence that he will come to the rescue.

the Mother of God with prayers . The reasons for such appeals are very different: illness, ill-mannered children, poor results in education or connections with bad people. At one time, the Mother of God had to go through a long journey of trials and maintain her faith in God. Therefore, hearing prayers and requests from mothers who are in a hopeless situation, who are upset and exhausted, she hurries to lend a helping hand.

The most important thing is to understand that help comes not from the Saints themselves, but from God , from our Heavenly Father. The saints, being close to Him, intercede directly about our problems and needs. But this does not mean at all that you need to pray only to the Saints. God is always ready for dialogue with us, he waits for us with an outstretched hand and an open heart. Therefore, mothers in their prayers for their children should not forget to contact Heavenly Father directly, without intermediaries.

Great Martyr Barbara

Holy glorious and all-praised Great Martyr of Christ Varvaro!

Amen.

Features of the blessing of the newlyweds

The ritual of blessing children on the day of marriage is quite ancient and has undergone many changes over the course of its existence. Before the advent of registry offices, lovers only got married in the temple. Before the wedding, the groom bought the bride, and the couple asked for parental blessing. From the wedding, the newly-made spouses came to the groom's house, where they were to live.

They were met by the parents of the newlyweds with a wedding loaf. They blessed the couple for a happy family life and led them to the set wedding table. The father had to lead the newly-made spouses around the table three times and seat them in a place of honor. Then guests were invited to the table, and the wedding celebration began.

Prayer to the Martyr Sophia

Do you want your children to be pious and love the Lord? Ask the martyr Sophia for help.

This saint is known for instilling love for Christ and ardent faith in him in her three daughters - Faith, Hope and Love. The little girls, the eldest of whom was barely 12 years old, chose cruel torture and death, but did not renounce Christ when they were tortured and tormented. How much mental strength must children have to withstand torture? And how did their mother feel, looking at the suffering of her children?

She, being a pious mother and having managed to raise her daughters in piety, will help those who sincerely ask for their children.

Oh, long-suffering and wise Great Martyr Sophia of Christ! You stand with your soul in heaven at the Throne of the Lord, and on earth, by the grace given to you, you perform various healings: look mercifully at the people who are present and those praying before your relics, asking for your help: extend your holy prayers to the Lord for us, and ask us for forgiveness our sins, healing for the sick, quick help for the grieving and needy: pray to the Lord to give us all a Christian death and a good answer at His Last Judgment, so that we may be worthy to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit with you forever and ever. Amen.

What icon to give for a wedding

Very often, newlyweds receive wedding icons from their parents as a sign of their blessing and parental guidance for their future family life. Whatever icon the newlyweds are given for their wedding (there can be several of them at once), they must have an icon of the Mother of God.

Often they give paired icons of saints who became famous for their pious lives and marital fidelity: Peter and Fevronia of Murom, the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia, and Saints Joachim and Anna.

Prayer to Sergius of Radonezh

Is your child having trouble studying? A mother's prayer (blessing) to her children for school, addressed to St. Sergius of Radonezh, will help the children gnaw on the granite of science.

Why Sergius? As a child, he himself suffered from learning problems. He was not given a diploma, and that’s all. The boy was pious and was very worried about his defeats in his studies. One day, in solitude, he prayed intensely to God, asking Him for help in his studies. Suddenly an old man appeared in front of the youth. The future monk frankly told him about his misfortune. The elder blessed Bartholomew (the saint's name at birth), saying that from now on his academic performance would improve and his studies would be easy. And so it happened.

Pious disciples and students living in Moscow and the Moscow region travel to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra to venerate the relics of the saint. And ask him for help in studying. Having himself known all its difficulties, he will understand the one asking.

It is not always possible to go to the Lavra. But we can pray at home, before the icon of the saint:

Oh, sacred head, reverend and God-bearing Father Sergius, by your prayer, and by faith and love, even for God, and by the purity of your heart, you have established your soul on earth in the monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, and have been granted angelic communion and the visitation of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the gift received miraculous grace, after your departure from earthly people, you came closer to God and partook of heavenly powers, but did not retreat from us in the spirit of your love, and your honest power, like a vessel of grace full and overflowing, was left to us! Having great boldness towards the All-Merciful Master, pray to save His servants, His grace existing in you, believing and flowing to you with love. Ask us from our Greatly Gifted God every gift that is useful to everyone and everyone: observance of the immaculate faith, establishment of our cities, peace, pacification, deliverance from famine and destruction, preservation from the invasion of foreigners, consolation for the grieving, healing for the sick, restoration for the fallen, for those who are led astray on the path of truth and return of salvation, strengthening for those who strive, prosperity and blessing for those who do good in good deeds, upbringing of infants, instruction for the young, admonition for the ignorant, intercession for orphans and widows, departing from this temporary life for the eternal, good preparation and parting words, blessed rest for those departed, and all of us assisted by your prayers vouchsafe on the day of the Last Judgment to be delivered from this part, and to be part of the right hand of the country and to hear the blessed voice of the Lord Christ: “Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Amen.

This is what a prayer looks like for the blessing of children, for successful studies and overcoming difficulties in it.

What do we know about blessing

Reading myths, legends, fairy tales, books about the past, we sometimes come across the following lines: “His (or her) mother blessed him.” For example, the fairy tale “Vasilisa the Beautiful” begins like this: “In a certain kingdom there lived a merchant. He lived in marriage for twelve years and had only one daughter, Vasilisa the Beautiful. When Vasilisa’s mother died, the girl was eight years old. Dying, the merchant's wife called her daughter to her, gave her a doll and said: “Listen, Vasilisa! Remember and fulfill my last words. I am dying and, together with the parental Blessing, I leave you this doll. Take care of it, always keep it with you and don’t show it to anyone. And when some misfortune befalls you, give her something to eat and ask her for advice. She will eat and tell you how to help your grief and misfortune...” Vasilisa’s lot befell many trials, and it was her mother’s Blessing that helped her cope with them. She even carried out all the orders of Baba Yaga. And when Baba Yaga asked how she managed it, Vasilisa answered: “My mother’s Blessing helps me.” Baba Yaga shouted: “So that’s it!” Get away from me! I don't need a blessed daughter! After reading this fairy tale, we understand that the mother's Blessing has enormous power and protection. Even Baba Yaga turned out to be powerless against him and was forced to help the girl - give her magic fire. Not a single person would refuse such a Gift as a mother's Blessing, so that no fire would burn him, no life trials would be terrible.

But why today does not a mother give a blessing for the life of her child? Many women answer this question - we didn’t know.

But this is only half the problem. But the main reason is that as soon as the mother gives her blessing to the child, she becomes a “stepmother” for him. Along with the blessing, the mother must give the child all his life energy, which the child transferred to her at birth. The life energy of a child is what allows a mother to stay awake at night rocking her baby. These are the forces of a mother who is worried about the life of her child.

At birth, each person is given 100% of life energy. Each person has his own amount of energy, it depends on the person’s mission and his calling and on how the person manages these energies and how he will live. If he gives these energies to another person, then he will not have enough energy to fulfill his duty and mission. Young children give away their energy because, due to their weakness, they cannot take responsibility for their lives.

As a rule, the child gives the mother 90% of the responsibility, leaving 5-10% only to remind herself. As the child grows up, he learns to be independent and gradually gains “percentage.”

By the age of eight, a child is ready to take full responsibility for his life. At this age, the mother must give a blessing to the child and until the age of fourteen the child learns how to use the energy of life. Usually at this age boys are trained in martial arts. They learn to protect themselves and others. At this time, girls, like Cinderellas, undergo “practice”, learning how to run a household and maintain cleanliness. It is at this age that children best learn how to take responsibility for their lives and learn to take risks.

At fourteen years of age, a child becomes an adult. He takes the path of vocation. At this age and until the age of 21, the father watches over the child. Only the father knows the path of the child’s calling, and the mother’s intervention can have a detrimental effect on his fate. Well, if the mother did not give all responsibility to the child in time, then she continues to live his life. You know those over-aged children who practically don’t live. They give the energy of their lives not only to their parents, but to everyone around them.

By the age of 13-14, an unblessed child begins the so-called “difficult age” when disagreements arise between parents and children. The child “demands” his life energy, which he gave in childhood, but the parents do not give it, there is a struggle for life, for life energy. The child says - I myself! The mother replies, “No! You can't do it without me. You are still small." In this struggle, the child is doomed to defeat, since the mother has total power, and only the prudence of the mother can help the child.

Prayer to Cosma and Damian

They are prayed to when a child has problems with physical and mental health. Ask for help from holy healers in this case:

Oh, wonderworkers of glory, physicians of mercilessness, Cosmo and Damian! You, who have loved Christ God from your youth, have received not only the art of healing, but moreover the inexhaustible grace of healing all sorts of ailments from God. Likewise, you will soon hear us, who fall before your honorable icon. Young children, asking for your help in the teaching of the book, instruct them with your prayers, so that your life will be zealous, not just earthly, and may they continually prosper in piety and true faith. To those who are lying on their sick beds, who are desperate for help in humanity, who come running to you for warmth with faith and fervent prayer, grant healing of illnesses with your merciful miraculous visit: in the same way, from severe illnesses, despondency, cowardice and murmuring have come, strengthen the grace given to you from God in patience and instruct, so that they may understand from them God’s holy and perfect will, and may become partakers of God’s saving grace. Keep everyone who diligently comes running to you unharmed from severe illnesses, and protect them from sudden death, and through your powerful intercession to God, keep them firmly in the right faith, and those who advance in piety, so that together with you, in the future, they will be honored to ever sing and glorify the All-Holy and magnificent Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

The power of mother's prayer for children

When a woman has children, she tries to cover them with her love and care. Therefore, the prayer of a mother who gave birth to a new life has some kind of supernatural power. This is really true, because she puts all her energy into it and expects help. She hopes that her children will always be on the right path and under the protection of Higher powers.

If everyone remembers the situations that happened in life, then the thought will certainly lead to the fact that if it were not for the mother’s prayer at that moment, everything could have turned out differently. The fact is that only a mother can empathize and feel her children so much, because she carried them for a long time, and they were one whole, one flesh.

During pregnancy, a mother and her baby are so close to each other that they develop a special connection on an energetic level. Therefore, she may feel anxious and worried if the child is far away and something happens to him.

What does a mother do when she worries about her children? Of course, he begins to pray. Although she does this even before the birth of her daughter or son. He prays to the Most Holy Theotokos, or to Jesus Christ, so that the pregnancy proceeds without complications, so that the fetus develops correctly and the birth goes well. The mother's strong prayer and God's protection accompany the child from the moment of conception until the end of his days. Even when getting married, children must receive blessings from their parents. Some mothers, in prayers for their children, ask God for help for the following reasons:

health problems;
not doing well with school;
difficulties in education;
there is no mutual understanding.

In any of the above cases, God hears sincere prayer and helps those who, with faith in their souls, hope for a successful outcome. It often happened that, thanks to a mother’s strong prayer, the Lord healed a child from a serious illness and blessed their life.

Prayer to Mitrofan of Voronezh

Is there a short prayer for blessing children? Yes, you can simply cross your child before leaving the house and ask God to protect and protect the child from all evil.

Amen.

Maternal prayer for children to Simeon the God-Receiver

Oh, great servant of God, God-receptive Simeon! Standing before the Throne of the great King and our God Jesus Christ, I have great boldness towards Him, in your arms we will rush for the sake of salvation. To you, as a powerful intercessor and a strong prayer book for us, we, sinners and unworthy, resort.

To Him all glory is due, together with the Father and His Most Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to Paraskeva Friday

People turn to the holy martyr when their backs begin to hurt. What is Paraskeva known for?

She was born into a family of rich and pious people. They had the fear of God and especially revered Friday. On this day the Savior was crucified. So they named their daughter Paraskeva (from Greek - Friday).

The girl was orphaned early. She, like her parents, was pious. The fortune received from them was spent on helping and feeding the poor. In addition, Paraskeva was distinguished by her extraordinary beauty. But she didn’t even look in the direction of the young people, being overwhelmed by the love of God.

The wicked pagan emperor found out about this. At his command, they mocked the saint for a long time, forcing her to renounce Christ. But the tormentors achieved nothing. And then the angry emperor ordered the girl’s head to be cut off. Thus the martyr died, having won a crown of glory.

Oh, holy and blessed martyr of Christ Paraskeva, maiden beauty, praise of the martyrs, purity of image, magnanimous mirrors, wonder of the wise, guardian of the Christian faith, idolatry flattery to the accuser, champion of the Divine Gospel, zealot of the Lord’s commandments, vouchsafed to come to the haven of eternal rest and in the chamber of the Bridegroom your Christ God, brightly rejoicing, adorned with the extreme crown of virginity and martyrdom! We pray to you, holy martyr, to be sorrowful for us to Christ God, whose most blessed sight will always rejoice. Pray to the All-Merciful One, Who opened the eyes of the blind with His word, that He may deliver us from the illness of our hair, both physical and mental; with your holy prayers, kindle the dark darkness that has come from our sins, ask the Father of Light for the light of grace for our souls and bodies; Enlighten us, darkened by sins, with the light of God’s grace, so that for the sake of your holy prayers sweet vision will be given to the dishonest. Oh, great servant of God! Oh, most courageous virgin! Oh, strong martyr Saint Paraskeva! With your holy prayers, be a helper to us sinners, intercede and pray for the damned and extremely negligent sinners, hasten to help us, for we are extremely weak. Pray to the Lord, pure maiden, pray to the Merciful, holy martyr, pray to your Bridegroom, immaculate bride of Christ, so that by your prayers, having escaped the darkness of sin, in the light of the true faith and divine deeds we will enter into the eternal light of the never-evening day, into the city of everlasting joy, in now you shine brightly with glory and endless joy, glorifying and singing with all the heavenly powers the Trisagion of the One Divinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Advice for Mothers on Prayer Practice

Most mothers are concerned with the question: “Should I tell my child about God and how, in general, should I do it?” Of course, it is good when parents themselves pray for their children, but it would be more correct to teach the child himself to turn to God and not be afraid of it. After all, sometimes not every mother knows what is going on in her children’s souls.

Read morning prayers

Therefore, it is necessary to instill a positive attitude towards the Orthodox faith from a young age and show this by example. Sometimes you can bring a child to the temple during a service, explain the rules of behavior inside the temple, talk about God, about different icons, the meaning and significance of prayers. The mother should take a closer look at her child after visiting the cathedral, paying attention to his reaction, and talk about this topic.

Children will gain better understanding if parents keep the commandments, go to church meetings, pray, confess their sins, and take the sacrament. Then it is easier for children to understand what God’s love is and why they need to love each other as themselves. For a prayer request to have enormous power of fulfillment, mom and dad must constantly abide in the Word of God, strengthen their spirit and be filled with love and light.

Blessings from mothers play a big role in the lives of their children. Therefore, if children are far from home or are going on a long journey, it is necessary to bless them. Even if they are not going to travel far, but are just going to work, then they also need to give their blessing for the entire working day. After blessing, the mother needs to cross the child and pray for him, so that God will send a guardian angel to protect him from unforeseen situations.

Prayer to the Great Martyr Catherine

So we get to the prayer for the blessing of children for marriage. They pray to Saint Catherine for the girl to marry well.

During her lifetime, the Great Martyr Catherine was very beautiful and educated. Many wooed her. But the girl rejected all the suitors. She wanted to find someone who would suit her in intelligence and beauty.

One day, Catherine had a dream. She saw Christ himself, who refused to look at the girl. Waking up, the future great martyr decides to be baptized. So she became a Christian.

After the sacrament was performed, the saint again saw the Savior in a dream. This time He looked at her tenderly. And he handed over the ring. Jesus Christ became the very Groom that the girl dreamed of.

She accepted death as faith. The saint was tortured for a long time, but she not only did not give up God, but also continued to glorify him.

The parents’ prayer for blessing their children (for marriage) will reach the saint if they ask her for help with all their hearts:

O Saint Catherine, virgin and martyr, true bride of Christ! We pray to you, for you have received the special grace that your Bridegroom, Sweet Jesus, has preceded you to: just as you have put to shame the temptations of the tormentor with your wisdom, you have overcome fifty revolutions, and having fed them with heavenly teaching, you have guided them to the light of the true faith, so ask us for this Godly wisdom, Yes, and we, having thwarted all the machinations of the hellish tormentor, having despised the temptations of the world and the flesh, will be worthy to appear of Divine glory, and for the expansion of our holy Orthodox faith we will become worthy vessels, and with you in the heavenly tabernacle of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ with the Father and the Holy Spirit Let us praise and glorify to all ages of ages. Amen.

Three most important points!

Thus, it is necessary to think very carefully about how to bless your son before the wedding. Correctly spoken words - sincere, sincere - will give the newlyweds three very important qualities.

Firstly, parental blessing brings spouses confidence that they will always live in abundance. Secondly, it gives confidence that the newlyweds will protect each other the way their parents protected each other for many years. Thirdly, the spouses will feel unconditional support in all their endeavors and confidence in all their capabilities. Do not forget that female energy is the best assistant in building a future family.

Prayer to Nicholas the Pleasant

One of the favorite saints of the Russian people. To whom do we run with all our troubles and adversity? Who do we ask for help? Of course, from St. Nicholas, the World of Lycian Wonderworker.

Well, let's pray to him that our daughters get married being chaste, and that they get loving and kind husbands:

Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor and quick helper everywhere in sorrow! Help me, the sinful and sad person in this life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, throughout my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me, the accursed one, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Maternal prayer for the health of children to Panteleimon the Healer

I turn to you in prayer, Panteleimon the Healer! Grant healing to my child, send him strength, touch his flesh, kiss his soul. Extinguish the blazing fire, tame passion, revoke weakness. Wake up the servant of God (name), raise him from his sick bed. Give him Your blessing. We submit to Your will and await Your mercy. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Morning prayer

Is there a morning prayer for blessing children? Of course, in all Christian prayer books in the country. This is a joke, if anything. But such a prayer actually exists in any Orthodox prayer book. It is about the health of others, and is read at the very end of the morning rule:

Save, Lord, and have mercy on my spiritual father (name), parents (names), relatives (names), bosses, mentors, benefactors.

The children here are relatives. Their names are listed immediately after their parents.

How to bless your son or daughter before the wedding?

For Christians, parental blessing is endowed with special and very powerful power. The words that parents say to their children before marriage have an impact on their family life. Without parental blessing, our ancestors were not allowed to get married in church.

Now many couples decide not to get married, but only to register the marriage at the registry office, but parting words from their parents are no less important for them. In this publication we will look at how to bless a son or daughter before a wedding and which icon should be used to do this.

Prayer after blessing the child

Someone will be surprised: does such a thing exist? Yes, there is one. But we won't give it to you. And don't blame us for greed. The point here is that this prayer comes from the mother’s heart. And we don’t know what words live in it.

Do you know the parable about the power of a mother’s prayer? How three girlfriends walked along the railway tracks and found themselves between two oncoming trains. They remained alive, to each other's surprise. And the demons who were lying in wait for the girls began to quarrel among themselves. One shouts to the other: “Why were you inactive?” To which he replies that the girl was reading a prayer. We ran into the second one. And he has one answer: “There was a cross on it.” They pestered the third: “Aren’t you ashamed? Your ward doesn’t even believe in God.” But the evil one just spread his paws: “She doesn’t believe, but her mother crossed her on the road and said: “Go with God.”

Even if the sign of the cross and three words protect a child so much, imagine what a mother’s prayer can do?

When your child leaves the house, cross him in the back. Ask God for help so that he can protect your child from troubles and evil that may happen to him along the way.

Did the boy go to school? Cross yourself and ask Sergius of Radonezh to help him. And God has protection.

What is Blessing for you?

Let's figure it out together. What comes to mind first, what fills your heart when you hear this word?

Blessing... Stop and listen.

People most often put the meaning of this word into exactly what they themselves needed. And the meaning that you saw/felt in the Blessing is most likely what you wanted to receive from your parents, but for some reason you did not receive, or you think that you did not receive. Are you still a child, are you in the process of growing and grown up, or are you already an adult and independent? Either way, you can use your new understanding to make happy changes in your life.

– Why is one person simply lucky from the first days of his career? Looking at his life, do you see that he is protected from unpleasant events and has the energy of life to overcome obstacles along the way, while the other suffers failures and if he succeeds, he spends a lot of effort? The answer I heard exceeded all my expectations. “A successful and happy life depends on the correct feedback between the surrounding reality and your consciousness, and is directly related to the Blessing of the mother.”

If a person wants to change something in his life, first of all he needs to get his mother’s blessing for life, otherwise all his attempts will end in failure every time. To receive a mother's Blessing means to regain the energy of life that everyone needs in order to “live, get along, and make good.” Moreover, “good” is not only material values, but also everything else that a person needs for a happy life.

Unfortunately, the true meaning and hidden meaning of the Blessing, as well as the procedure for receiving it, were lost along with all the cultural wealth of our ancestors. Only a few representatives of ancient families have conveyed this invaluable tradition to this day, but the secret of the Blessing in such families is passed on from mouth to mouth and is not disclosed to outsiders.

Today, every person, by adopting the methodology we offer, can receive the Mother’s Blessing for life, abundance and prosperity, and every mother can bless her children. Once you receive the blessing, you will see firsthand changes for the better in your life.

Prayer in the temple

How to pray for your children while in church? Be sure to submit notes. Ideally, custom ones. But if this is not possible, then you can write simple ones.

Buy the most inexpensive candles if you don’t have money for others. Place the Savior and the Virgin Mary in front of the image. Pray in your own words for the child. Ask for cover and protection over him. Ask God to protect your child from the temptations of the modern world. To save him, to lead him to salvation along His own paths. And ask the Mother of God that with her holy prayers She will protect your offspring from harm. She took him under Her Cover. She covered me with Her omophorion.

Pray before the image of the saint in whose honor the child is named. Ask him not to leave his child in trouble. He helped him in everything, protected him with his cover and prayed to God for the salvation of his soul.

Ideally, a child would be taught to attend the temple of God from an early age. Proceed to the sacraments of confession and communion. Then there will be fewer problems, and a church-going child will be more careful with his soul. Doesn't try to bombard her with all sorts of nasty things.

As we know, ideals are rarely achievable. We ourselves do not go to church most often. We run in to light candles, and even then rarely. Children follow our example. Therefore, let us not forget to at least pray for them, since our children are not accustomed to church.

Sacrament of Marriage

Getting married is one of the most significant events in a person’s life.
Therefore, as a rule, it is accompanied by various rituals and sacred rites. Blessing parents at their son's wedding is a long-standing tradition. Like other pious customs, it should be observed by those wishing to enter into family life. Even more important, however, is God's blessing on marriage. It is performed in the church Sacrament of Marriage. Why and how to bless your son before the wedding? Man and woman were created by God as two different hypostases of human existence. Marriage was designed by the Almighty to unite the two sides of human nature. So that they thus complete each other in carnal and physical communication:

“A man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife; and the two will become one flesh” (Gen. 2:24).

The wedding is called a Sacrament, because in this sacred rite the union of a man and a woman is mysteriously sanctified by God and the Holy Church. Divine grace (a gift from above) descends on the young, which spiritually transforms them. It protects against devilish influence and helps in building a Christian family.

Saint John Chrysostom points out that the church consecration of marriage strengthens the love of the groom and strengthens the chastity of the bride. Thus, with God’s help, the spouses are established in a virtuous life together.

“Where husband and wife and children are united in harmony and love by the bonds of virtue, there is Christ in the midst” (Works of our holy father John Chrysostom. Vol. 4).

Entry into a church marriage must be preceded by the Sacraments of Confession and Communion. With their help, the young will be cleansed of sins and unite their souls with Christ. This will help the bride and groom prepare spiritually for the wedding, understand its meaning and content, and also start their family life with dignity.

Advice for parents praying to the saints for help and protection for their child

Every mother wishes for the speedy release of her child from illness and the fastest possible help in matters and solving problems. But you should not perceive prayer as a panacea or a “pill for all diseases.” The Lord in His Mercy sees all people and knows the needs of everyone, decides what will be better or worse for a person.

You should not think that God and the saints do not hear prayers and therefore do not help. This is wrong. The laity are not destined to understand and correctly interpret the situation. By murmuring against God, people themselves postpone the time of the arrival of help, the appearance of an answer. The Lord will remain deaf and dumb to prayers for vengeance and punishment of offenders. Asking for the healing of a child while mired in sin means wasting time. God will not give healing until he himself decides that the time has come.

Priests often give one example: if a mother does not believe in vaccinations, how can God protect her child from measles or tetanus? To heal a child, he needs to be given every opportunity, therefore, trusting in the Lord, do not forget about earthly means. In other words, when praying for a child on a hike, do not forget to give him a flashlight and dry matches. Faith in the Lord, firmness in one’s convictions, raising a child in the spirit of Orthodox Christianity is the best reward to God for his deeds

And do not forget to ask not only for help, but also for forgiveness, to give thanks to the saints, the Lord, and the Mother of God. It happens that people recover and immediately forget the person to whom they owe their healing. Ingratitude is one of the worst sins, do not allow this to happen to yourself and your family.

Thangka of the Virgin Mary “Inexhaustible Chalice”

Mother Theotokos always comes to receive and sign help for those who need it. In many churches, the miraculous icons of the Ever-Virgin are decorated with precious stones and jewelry - thanks (royal) for your help and healing. The “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon saved many from addictions - alcohol, drugs, nicotine.

Addiction is a sweetheart that destroys a person’s body and soul. This is an obsession that needs to be answered with prayers and psalms. Only his own mother can help his son overcome his addiction, following prayer requests to the Most Holy Theotokos. It is not for nothing that this icon is considered the most powerful for getting rid of various kinds of passions and addictions. Before church tradition, it was not by chance that it was revealed to the world.

Once upon a time, a retired soldier practically lost his legs from endless drinking. One holy elder came to him in a dream and told him to go to the Serpukhov monastery and commemorate the icon of the “Inexhaustible Chalice”. But the drunkard, who was illiterate at first, attached meaning to that dream. The elder appeared to him in a dream only once, and then the drunkard decided to obey and go to the indicated monastery. For no reason, since he was practically unable to walk, he crawled on his knees along the road. In one village, a compassionate old woman rubbed a soldier’s fishing rods with healing ointment and warmed him up on the stove. After 2 days, Sympathy was able to walk on his own feet, relying on a cane.

Church-wide sprinkling of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon – May 5.

When a man came to Serpukhov, the inhabitants of the Nu monastery did not know about this icon. And purely by chance it was found in one of the many monastery passages. The soldier served a prayer service to the icon and returned to the hut free from addiction. The news of the miraculous icon spread throughout the Orthodox world to the last penny, pilgrims flocked to the monastery. And to this day, the miraculous reliquary helps people obsessed with addiction to free themselves from destructive passion.

In order to get rid of drug addiction, you need to order a prayer service to the icon and tirelessly pray at home. The priest of the local church can provide assistance in prayer work - the beloved will bless you for reading prayers and an akathist. Also, the mother must confess and drink, observe fasts and fasting days, lead a righteous lifestyle, give alms to the poor and orphans.

Prayer for a son’s drug addiction to the “Inexhaustible Cup” icon:

Subtleties and nuances

1. Know that the Blessing of Need does not work. Or rather, it works, but does not reveal all its power. The most effective Blessing from Prosperity. Listen for yourself: “I wasn’t happy, although you should be happy,” this message carries a limitation in the form of a feeling of guilt imposed on your child. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

“We were together, but I was not happy with you” - listen to this, because this is exactly the message we send to our children.

Or: - I feel fear for your life and your future, and I want to get rid of anxiety, I want peace in my life. “The world is a dangerous place. Other people are dangerous” is also not the most harmonious message for our children)

2. It seems to me that the Blessing is not just a ritual, but a whole way of life, a way of communicating with children. Again, this is my vision. If you are far from having a Blessed relationship with your children or parents, start by adding respect and goodwill to them.

3. These are the very first and simplest steps. If this seems impossible (everyone’s luggage from the past is different, there is no such thing as bad luggage, just unsorted luggage) - this is a very big topic, but we can look into it in the next article.

4. Blessing is multifaceted, it can carry more and more better things, even if the parent does not know about it. Often it is with the thought of the Blessing that the best changes in the relationship between children and parents are triggered. This means that you can master an amazingly powerful tool that allows you to trigger happy changes in your relationship with your mother and in your relationship with your children, and with the bonus of starting to harmonize your own life.

If a mother decides to bless her child, then she must prepare for this. First you need to think through your wishes for your child. Everything you wish at this moment will definitely come true. Therefore, formulate your wishes in such a way as not to limit the child’s capabilities, not to build his life according to your plan, because you are an ordinary person and you can make mistakes!

Please do not wish anything specific, for example: “I wish you to have a higher education.” Maybe your child won’t want to have it, or maybe, on the contrary, he will want to have several different ones, but you have limited him in advance.

Wishes that do not take away freedom of choice can be as follows: – I wish you to be, live, act, be able and have; – I wish you to rejoice in your successes and the successes of those around you; – I wish you to receive satisfaction and prosperity by engaging in your creative self-expression; – I wish you to love and be loved; – I wish you to have free will; – I wish you to have an easy financial life; – I wish you to have a source of strength, beauty and harmony in your heart and mind; – I wish you to have self-confidence; – I wish you to have the ability to breathe fully and freely; – I wish you that your life flow heals every cell of your body; – I wish you to have the ability to trust people; – I wish you to have enough time, energy, wisdom, money to fulfill all your desires; – I wish you to be able to successfully get to the right time and place; – I wish you to be generous, accepting it entirely and with joy; – I wish you to be an expression of the Divine Origin of life in all its greatness; – I wish you to be ready to accept the best; – I wish you to enjoy yourself and accept yourself as you are; – I wish you everything _____, etc.

So, think carefully about what you would like to wish for your child and remember these wishes. At the moment of Blessing, they don’t read anything from a piece of paper!

We cannot stand aside and be indifferent to the Faith. We are responsible for CHILDREN on earth! Therefore, we must PRAY for them!

An ordinary day... Everyone has things to do in the morning. The daughter shouted from the doorway as she walked: “Mommy, see you soon!” It's time for me to leave! I'm hurrying to the subway! That's it! - I ran!"

- “Listen, daughter, to my old mother, I can’t calm my mental anxiety, I need to BLESS everyone on the road, Prayers will help save me from trouble!”

Turned on the TV - Explosion in the subway! It broke inside, it got cold... My daughter is there! She left not long ago! Even my heart ached from fear!

And the phone is silent! The pulse beats to the temple! She scrolls through all the news in a row. How can a daughter hear her voice? “SAVE! HAVE MERCY!” - He repeats quietly.

And suddenly a call: “I’m a mother!” I am alive! Well, just a MIRACLE! How did I manage? I remembered the words of your prayer!” “I didn’t see that my mother turned gray all over!”

BLESS THE MOTHERS OF CHILDREN! God will always help them along the way! A mother's prayer is the strongest in the world! She can pull everyone out from the bottom of the sea!
