About the author About the book
Matrona's Predictions
In her youth, Matrona traveled to holy places with the pious daughter of a neighboring landowner.
She visited the Kiev-Pechora and Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and other shrines. However, at the age of 17, her legs began to fail. She predicted this, knew that her ability to move would disappear and she would remain immobile for the rest of her life. She bore the cross with dignity; subsequently she had to change more than one apartment and house. Matrona also predicted the troubled times of the revolution. Matrona helped everyone, without exception, people, even those.
Who didn't believe in her healing abilities. This was not divination, not conspiracies, and especially not magic. Therefore, Matrona was the main enemy of all witches. The pure Christian nature was felt here; she simply prayed, doing nothing else. The prayers she read over the water are unknown to anyone. People then had to drink this water.
On what days should you not conceive children?
If you decide to pray to the Saint for the gift of a child, you must fast for 7-9 days, then ask Mother for forgiveness and mercy, and only then read prayers to get pregnant.
In order to conceive a child as quickly as possible, you need to follow certain recommendations.
It is forbidden to make love before fasting days - Wednesday and Friday, during fasting and on the eve of church holidays. “The day before” means the period of time after 16:00. It is also not advisable to work on conceiving a child on the wedding day, due to the fact that God blesses the newlyweds for a long married life, a certain sacrament is carried out, so it should not be desecrated by carnal pleasures on Sundays.
If you follow the recommendations, you will get pregnant much faster.
Holy Matrona of Moscow will never leave a woman alone with her misfortune. If you want the patter of children’s feet and sincere laughter to be heard around the house, you need to try, because the gift of a child is considered God’s Grace.
Our ancestors believed that if a married couple does not have children, it means that they or their relatives had angered the Lord, for which they were punished. Therefore, it is worth thinking about why you cannot conceive your long-awaited child. Perhaps you once did something that affected your childbirth. It often happens that ancestors sinned, and their children pay the price. In view of this, it is worth visiting church and praying to the Lord for forgiveness and mercy. And only after atonement for your offenses can you have a wonderful, long-awaited baby.
There are known cases when desperate spouses took a child from an orphanage, and after some time they were cured of infertility and were already nursing their “little one.”
If strength and hope leave you, kneel before Mother Matronushka, the Lord, the Mother of God and other saints, daily ask for forgiveness for sinful thoughts and behavior, pray for the granting of pregnancy, preservation and successful birth of a healthy child. Prayers for conception should be heartfelt, open, heartfelt and honest.
Do not doubt, believe, hope, and you will definitely experience the joy of motherhood.

Orthodox prayers for a deceased mother
Prayer for a deceased mother is considered an important ritual of the Christian church. It is believed that it will help the soul find peace. Until she turns 40, she needs to pray for her deceased mother every day. On the 40th day, God's judgment finally decides where to move the soul to hell or heaven.
Prayer for the deceased mother
A prayer for a deceased mother may sound like this:
“Remember, Lord God, and grant hope for the repose of the soul of God’s servant (mother’s name). As the Great Lover of Humanity, I ask You, All-Merciful God, to forgive all the voluntary and involuntary sins committed during her life. Do not punish for sins and deliver from fiery hell and eternal torment. Grant by your will communion, repentance and enjoyment of Your endless blessings, which are prepared for those who love You and glorify You. I trust in you, because even if my mother, the servant of God (mother’s name), sinned, she still sincerely believed in the Holy Trinity, professed the Christian faith until her very last breath. I ask You, Lord, to show your mercy, because there is not a single person on earth who has not sinned. You are the only one who is sinless and famous for your philanthropy and mercy. I send forth Your glory in prayers and accept Your will in everything. Amen".
Prayer for the repose of mother's soul
The following prayer will not only contribute to the repose of the soul of the deceased mother, but will also allow the person praying to receive his own peace of mind after a terrible loss. It is necessary to read it until 490 days, and after that at moments when mental melancholy returns.
This prayer for the repose of the soul of a deceased mother should be read in complete solitude and it sounds like this:
“All-Merciful Lord, Savior of the human race Jesus Christ. You are a comforter to those who mourn and a refuge for those who mourn. I, servant of God (proper name), come running to You, groaning and crying. Hear my sad prayer and do not turn away from me, leaving me alone with my mental suffering. I pray to You, Merciful Lord, quench my unbearable grief over separation from my mother, the servant of God (proper name), who gave birth to and raised me. Accept her soul and allow, truly believing in Your mercy, to have firm hope in Your mercy. Accept the soul of my deceased mother, Lord, into the Kingdom of Heaven and bestow upon her the blessings and bounties intended for those who love You. I bow before Your holy will and humbly accept it. Do not refuse, Almighty, your mercy. You, being the Judge of the whole world, punish those who have abandoned your faith, but you also have mercy on those who have sinned and sincerely repented of their actions that are not pleasing to God. With tenderness and contrition of my heart, I ask You, Lord, do not punish God’s servant (mother’s name) with eternal punishment, forgive her her voluntary and involuntary sins, judge her not according to her deeds, but according to your mercy. Have mercy on her, since all the sins of her life were committed through foolishness and ignorance, and she sincerely repented of them. Deliver my mother from eternal torment after death. Grant me, the servant of God (proper name), peace of mind and do not allow me to live in endless sadness and sighing for my parent. Lord, Almighty and All-Merciful, accept my warm prayer and give my mother what she deserves, for she strengthened me in the Christian faith, taught me to follow the commandments of God and do good. Amen".
How to keep your sons and daughters from harmful influences
And much later I realized that this film is a visual image of a Russian woman-mother. Who experiences much more sorrows than those turtles, conceiving and giving birth to her children. But in our time, there are much more spiritual and other predators waiting for them than on the Galapagos Islands!
And the first such predator is school, both secondary and higher. I’m probably not the only one who noticed such an extremely depressing picture: our little angels come to school, but often they leave it no longer our big “demons”! And this is not surprising. I will not go into detail about all the misadventures and atrocities of the Russian school, I will note only one thing. The mere fact that in Soviet times it became a hotbed of atheism makes it in some way a spiritually criminal organization. Why our education system is one of the main threats to national security.
Another main spiritual danger in Christian education, and in general in raising good children, is the entire current, so to speak, “culture”, saturated with the spirit of debauchery, in particular its media, especially electronic ones. For example, from a certain age, children begin to demand these most expensive smartphones from their parents. But let’s think about what this is in the spiritual sense?! This is a small computer connected to the Internet, in which the unprotected psyche is exposed to anything, primarily to pornography.
By the way, from my pastoral experience I can say that 80-85 percent of young men from Orthodox families who regularly attend church and participate in the Sacraments engage in masturbation. And one of the main reasons for this is their porn addiction. Which they satisfy with the help of the mentioned smartphones, and other improvised means!
So, as we see, the Orthodox Russian woman-mother now has many opponents in the matter of Christian, good upbringing of her children. But I am writing this not to scare you, mothers, but to at least somewhat outline your and our main opponents. But who and what is behind us?!
Islam: Muslim prayers for parents
In Islam, mother and father are considered the main people in the life of any person. Allah has given parents the responsibility of giving a new life. In the process of upbringing, parents always experience great difficulties, so children are obliged to them and must definitely pray for the health of their parents and their longevity.
The Koran says:
“Have pity on your parents, behave modestly with them, be simple and submissive, and always ask Allah: “O my Lord, show mercy to my parents, for they raised me kindly and always showed true mercy to me.”
It is the sacred duty of every Muslim to take care of his parents during his lifetime. In addition, the faithful must remember their deceased parents, praying for the forgiveness of their sins.
Prayer for the health of the sick
For greater effectiveness, Muslim prayer for the health of the sick should be read in Arabic. The main prayer in Islam is namaz; it is through such prayer that a person’s connection with Allah is ensured.
In order to read a prayer for the health of the sick, it is necessary to perform ablution. Only after this is it possible to contact the Creator. As a rule, prayer for health is included in the morning prayer process.
The text of the prayer in Russian is as follows:
“One can truly praise only Allah, who is the Lord of all worlds. I ask You, O Allah, to bring Your mercy closer to me, I believe in its effectiveness and hope for Your forgiveness, that You will protect me from sins. I ask you to help me benefit the entire world around me from all my righteous deeds. I ask You, O Allah, for salvation from all kinds of mistakes. Let me not commit that sin for which you would not forgive me. I ask you to save me and my loved ones from anxiety and need. Keep my parents healthy, as they raised and protected me as a child. May all their actions be correct and supported by you. May they not encounter troubles and adversity on their life’s path. Give them happiness and true joy. You are the Most Merciful. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, I welcome happiness into my home. Show goodness, prosperity and health to my home, and stay there with my loved ones, fill their souls with song and happiness. O Allah, grant us happiness, may it pour the desired rain on our heads. O Great Allah, open the gates of prosperity, let your beneficent rays illuminate everything around.”
Prayer for the sins of parents
The faithful are obliged to pray for the sins of their parents.
We advise you to study What to do with old icons from home
But to do this, you must follow the following rules:
Maintain ritual purity. Before a prayer aimed at cleansing from sins, it is necessary to perform ablution.
You need to pray in a clean place that has not previously been defiled by anything.
You need to pray only in the direction of the Muslim shrine of the Kaaba
It is important to wear clean clothes and it is very important that there are no stains on them. Clothes must not have animal fur on them.
Dogs and pigs are considered especially dirty animals in Islam.
During prayer, the soul of a believer should be filled with sincerity.
When performing prayer, a Muslim should not be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
The most powerful prayer of repentance in Arabic is as follows:
“Allahumma ante rabbi, laya ilyayahe illya ant, halyaktanii wa ana 'abduk, wa ana 'alaya 'ahdikya wa wa'dikya mastato'tu, a'uuzu bikya min sharri maa sona'tu, abuu'u lyakya bi ni'matica' alayai?ya wa abuu'u lakya bi zanbii, fagfirlii, fa innehu laya yagfiruz-zunuube illya ant.”
The translation into Russian is as follows:
“O Allah Almighty, You are my Lord! There is no other God but You. You are the Creator of the whole world, You created me, therefore I am Your slave. In everything I obey Your will and strive to justify all the responsibilities You have placed on me. I try to do only the right things and always keep my word to the best of my ability and due to the circumstances. I resort to You with sincere prayer, praying to You, I move away from everything bad that I could have done earlier due to my foolishness. I give thanks for all the blessings that you have given. I admit my sins and ask for forgiveness. Only you can forgive me. After all, only you see my mistakes and misdeeds.”
Such prayer has enormous power. It is universal, so the prayer text is also applicable to pray for the forgiveness of the sins of parents.
Where can you pray
When coming to the temple, be sure to go to the icon of the Matrona of Moscow, venerate it, light a candle and pray to the saint, both in your own words and using the text of the prayer.
Rice. 7. When praying at home, nothing should distract you; it’s good if you have your own prayer corner.
When praying at home, you need to find a secluded place in front of the icons (among them there should be an icon of the blessed Matrona) so that nothing distracts you. If possible, you can light a lamp or candle. You need to tune yourself to prayer and not think about anything else. Read the text of the prayer carefully, pondering its meaning. Then you can also pray in your own words, asking the Lord for forgiveness of sins and help in the current situation. We need to pray sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts, with faith and hope in God’s providence for us.
The relics of Saint Matrona have special Grace. They are located in the Intercession Monastery of the capital. Hundreds of believers visit them every day and many miraculously receive help from Matronushka. Especially many people come to her relics with a prayer for pregnancy. She helps everyone who sincerely asks her for help.
Fig. 8. Particles of the relics of Blessed Matrona are found in most Orthodox churches in Russia; they have the same power of grace as the relics in the Intercession Monastery.
Another special place of prayer is the grave of Elder Matrona at the Danilovskoye Cemetery in Moscow, where her holy remains were originally buried.
And of course, if we want to quickly receive what we ask for, then we need to try to change our life and fill it with spiritual meaning. And you need to start with repentance and communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.
Prayer as salvation from any misfortune
The basis of the life of any Christian should be his relationship with the Lord.
- Turn to Him about the health of your children and relatives. To prevent illness from overtaking them, simply be with the Lord, attend liturgies, confess and receive communion.
- Prayer is food for the soul. Having heard your request, the Lord will send you the Holy Spirit, who will ease the child’s lot and heal him.
- Keep God's commandments. The first and most important obliges us to honor the Heavenly Father. Pray to Him and He will favor you by not allowing your child to get sick.
- Do not break the commandment “Love your neighbor as yourself.” An offended person will pray to God for intercession. The child, as one with the parents, will be responsible for their sins. By offending other people, a person exposes his child to the blow, to whom the wrath of God can spread.
- Remember that the cause of frequent illnesses in a child may be aggression towards other people, or neglect of one’s Christian duties. Sometimes, in order for the illness to recede, parents need to confess and receive communion.
- When faced with a child’s illness, there is no need to despair. Do not give up and fervently pray to God for the salvation of soul and body.
How to pray for a son
You can ask for a child both in church and at home. In church you need to light a candle and ask for the child’s health and admonition . You can order a prayer service and liturgy. It is advisable to pray at home every day. It is difficult to remember the words of the prayer - write them down on a piece of paper and read them in front of the icon. It’s difficult to read - pray with words coming from the heart and soul, the saint will hear and understand.
It is important to remember that first you need to leave everyone with grievances. Then the Lord will forgive the sins of the person praying and fulfill his requests. At the end you should say: “I commend my son into Your hands, not my will, but Yours be done. Amen"
The history of prayer
The prayer itself is named after a real woman who lived her life in the Tula Province. Matrona Dmitrievna Nikonova was born in 1881 in the village of Sebino. It so happened that from birth Matrona could not see and was completely blind.
Subsequently, while growing up, close people noticed that a bulge in the shape of a cross had formed on the front of her body. And as time has shown, this was clearly not without reason
Later, Matrona began to predict the future of people and heal them from various diseases. After this, it became clear that the girl-fortuneteller was a messenger of God, who was born with an extraordinary natural gift.
After Matrona was baptized in the church, she began to visit it regularly. At first I went there with my parents, and then I got there on my own.
Soon, people from other cities learned about her incredible abilities, and they began to repeatedly come to visit Sebino to see Matrona.
At the age of 17, another misfortune happened to her. In her teens, the famous seer stopped moving because her legs were paralyzed.
But despite this, Matrona still continued to believe in God and endure the difficulties sent by him with patience. Thanks to her prophecies, people for a long time were able to learn about such bloody events as the revolution of 1917 and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
Matrona of Moscow died on May 2, 1952. She was buried at the Danilovsky cemetery. An interesting fact is that she was even able to predict her own death 3 days before it occurred.
The prayer to Matrona of Moscow is used primarily by people who turn to God to wish health and well-being for their mothers.
About the difficulties of motherhood
A long time ago, when I was still a child, I once saw a documentary about the Galapagos Islands. The main attraction of which was that this is where large ocean turtles lay their eggs. The poor animal slowly and for a very long time (several tens of meters) crawls along the sandy slope in order to build the clutch as high as possible. So that the surf doesn’t wash it away later. Not all poor souls can withstand this long and painful process. Some of them, weakened, cannot return back to the sea and die.
But after a certain time, small turtles hatch at the same time. In a large “crowd” they rush into the saving sea. But... birds of prey are already waiting for them from above and swooping down on them, snatching out tasty prey one after another. In short, only a few of the many turtles make it to the water. But even there they are met by sea predators...
About the child's health
Many mothers resort to Blessed Mother for help. Sincere prayers uttered by the mother in front of her face always help in any trouble, because Matronushka became the patroness of children in the church world.
When a child is sick, his mother is ready for anything. Any amount of money is donated for treatment. Mom is ready to give everything so that her child smiles and is healthy.
Near the relics of Matronushka in the Intercession Monastery you can see many mothers praying for the health of their children, because this is the greatest value in the world. The blessed one helps everyone; she does not leave a single request for help without the grace of God.
We advise you to study the Prayer of Thanks to Spyridon of Trimifuntsky for his help
As Her Holiness bequeathed before her death:
Before you begin reading the prayer directly, you should visit the temple and order a prayer for the Health of the child. After ordering prayer lines, take 12 wax candles and holy water. Refer to the images of Jesus Christ, Healer Panteleimon, Great Martyr and Matrona of Moscow
Prayer to Matrona of Moscow for the health of the child
The Blessed Matronushka helps everyone who turns to her for help. You need to approach prayer in front of the image of a saint thoughtfully, consciously, to know what you really need, that this is not a momentary whim, but in fact a necessity. Pure thoughts, righteous views and sincere prayer to the Pleasant of God work real miracles.
Also, there is such a belief around the world: “For help, come to Matronushka with flowers.” The place where the shrine with the holy relics of the Matrona of Moscow stands is always drowned in fresh flowers. Moreover, the flowers that one person brings become a gift for another.
Mother's prayers for children

How to read
A prayer for the health of a child to Matrona of Moscow is not just words or a request, it is a real Orthodox rite, which must be performed clearly and correctly for a certain time in order to achieve the desired result.
Rules for reading a prayer for the health of a child:
- the prayer must be said sincerely and with all warmth and humility;
- the one said on the temple grounds will have a stronger effect;
- you need to pray regularly, and not just once, supporting every word with honesty and purity of thoughts;
- It is advisable to know the words by heart;
- while reading, you cannot be distracted by other things, thoughts should be focused on the main thing;
- You can read both in Russian and in Church Slavonic;
- before praying, you need to give alms to those asking, help those in need, or donate money to monasteries and churches;
- come, if possible, to the Intercession Monastery, where the relics of the saint are kept, bring her favorite hymen flowers, pray and ask for strength for further healing; then you can read prayers before the image of the blessed one in other churches or at home (depending on the circumstances);
- concentrate on the image of a happy child for whom a prayer is being read, in order to thus reinforce the effect of recovery.
Also, do not forget that any prayer, in particular addressed to Matrona, are words that enhance the overall result of recovery. If the disease is quite complex or simple, but occurs in a more complicated form, there is no need to refuse the help of doctors. Taken together, this will give the effect that will help the child recover completely and feel good in the future.
It is also necessary to remember the fact that a prayer for the health of the child to Matrona should not be said only when he is sick. And even in health, every mother who worries about her child must tirelessly cry out to the Lord through the Holy Matronushka, so that she will always protect her child and drive away all sorts of physical and mental illnesses from him. This strengthens the baby’s health and further helps to avoid negative influences from outside.
The great miracle of the Lord is prayer for the health of children. The strongest one goes to the Holy Matrona of Moscow. For many years now, she has been helping mothers all over the world in the most difficult life circumstances concerning the health of their children, because she carries within herself hope that has no boundaries and instills in the souls and hearts the main thing - the inevitable faith in miracles.
Text of the prayer:
Miracles of a Blind Girl
The girl was christened Matrona in honor of the ascetic from Greece. When the christening took place, a mysterious occurrence occurred. When the girl was placed in the font, a column of fragrant smoke appeared from above. The priest was stunned and declared that the child was marked by holiness. They also dropped strange words that Matrona would predict his death. Then everything happened like this, the child was the first to say that this priest was no longer alive.
The village children did not like Matrona, they teased the blind child, even hit her with nettles, knowing that not only would she not do anything to them, but she would not even see the offender. The result of this was that Matrona did not talk to her peers and was no longer alone.
The girl’s unique gift of prophecy and healing was revealed gradually, at the age of 7-8. Matrona grew up as a very devout child; she almost always went to church. She even had her own space there, from where she heard everything and sang along with the singers’ prayers.
Her family members were the first to realize that the child was unusually insightful and could heal. For example, how could a little girl know about the sins, sins and ideas of completely strangers? She could predict danger and even natural disasters.
If she prayed for someone, that person received healing. People, having heard about this, reached out to Matronushka even from distant villages throughout the province. Even seriously ill people bedridden were taken to Matrona - they rose to their feet in an unusual way. In gratitude, kind people brought food to Matrona’s family. The blind woman reincarnated as a nurse.
The life of Matronushka and her help to people
Matrona was born in the last century into a family of ordinary peasants. From birth, the girl was blind because she had no eyeballs. Even at the age of eight, she was observed to have the ability to see the future, as well as heal the sick and help the suffering. Life hasn't been kind to her. At times she was treated like a stray dog.
That is why many believers say that in order to attract her attention, it is advisable to feed a mongrel dog or give alms to a needy person. In addition, she did not neglect orphans or those who had no one to take care of. That is why many married couples who cannot have children turn to her.
At one time, John of Kronstadt called it his successor, but later there was a revolution and a change of power. The new leaders were no longer so loyal to the believers and persecution began. The old woman was no exception. She miraculously avoided arrest, but did not stop helping people. Since Matrona herself has not been in good health since childhood, she tries to help those who pray for the health of the sick to Matrona of Moscow.
But there are other problems with which people resort to her help:
- for various diseases,
- in case of damage from natural disasters,
- to save the family,
- in case of financial difficulties,
- to avoid deception,
- to care for children and loved ones,
- in matters of the heart,
- granting a long-awaited pregnancy.
May 2 is considered the saint's day of remembrance. Many try to visit the Intercession Monastery, where the shrine with her relics is located, or to go to her grave. You can also lean against the icon of the blessed one. The most important thing on this day is sincere prayer, which should come from a pure heart. On such a day, many pilgrims bring bouquets of fresh flowers, which are blessed on the relics and then given to the parishioners.
How many and to whom it hits does not matter. But this memory is dried up and preserved near the images of home. They can sometimes be added to tea. Most often, white chrysanthemums, tulips, carnations, white lilacs and roses of any color are brought for the Matrona of Moscow. Both the crayfish and the saint’s grave are buried in these flowers.
In addition to reading prayers for illnesses, you can also submit petition notes to Matrona of Moscow. Prayers must come from a pure heart and with sincere faith in their fulfillment.

What is humble prayer
Why, praying to the Matrona of Moscow, some people get pregnant quickly, some have to wait for years, and some have already lost hope of giving birth. Not every request is fulfilled. There are several reasons, and the main one is lack of humility. Let's try to understand what this is with an example.
- one reviled: If You are God, come down from the cross and free us;
- another: Lord, remember me in Your Kingdom (I will never be there, since, due to my sins, I deserved only hellish torment).
Feel the difference: The blasphemer, the mocker, being in the arms of death, continues to insult God. The crucified one on the right is in deep repentance. Christ said to him: Today you will be with Me in Paradise! How? The criminal and sinner was the first to enter Paradise. He pulled out the “lucky ticket” - humility. The same words can be attributed to his state of mind: After all, I am not worthy!
Conclusion: We are all, in a sense, these robbers: some are on the left, others on the right. If the former do not change, then the latter humbly pray, seeing themselves as sinners. And when dirt is discovered, it can be washed away by repentance, becoming cleaner and more worthy. God fulfills the request of the humble very, very quickly.
