Particularly revered Saint Matrona of Moscow
If you have been to the Intercession Monastery with Matrona, you were able to notice an extraordinary feeling of responsiveness and warmth that emanates from the icon during a prayer address to Mother. It’s as if you are having a conversation about your needs with a living, soulful person.
Matrona of Moscow led a modest life until her death, bringing healing to the sick, helping the weak, although she herself was weak. But God gave her great power - to help people. Her prophecies came true and are coming true now. She was first buried at the Danilovsky cemetery in 1552. Only a few decades later her relics were transferred to the Intercession Monastery.
All her life she was considered blessed, but she was not offended, lived modestly, predicted many events, healed people from illnesses, and instilled faith in them.
Even today she will provide assistance to everyone who comes to the temple with faith.
Mother said that the enemy sits on our left shoulder, and on the right is an angel. Get baptized often! The cross is a lock, like on a door.
Prayer to Saint Matrona for health
Most often, the Holy Elder is asked for health. Here is a prayer and a sample petition:
Holy Matrona! Forgive me for my voluntary and involuntary sins. I ask you, intercede before the Lord God for the sick servant (name). Remove all illnesses of the body and sorrows from the soul. Give healing and avert a cruel trial. May the sick person recover quickly, and may his (her) soul be freed from sorrow. I trust in you. Amen.
If children are sick, then the mother’s soul is torn into pieces. Ask for their healing, read the prayer:
Oh, Holy Mother Matrona. I appeal to you with a sincere request. Give strength and health to my child (name), who is dying from terrible damage. I ask not for myself, but for my innocent child. Remove confusion from his soul, take away suffering, deliver him from bodily illness. Pray for him before the Heavenly Father and beg him to forgive me for my sins. Amen!
You can pray both in church and at home. Light the candles near the icon and pray from a pure heart, most importantly, with faith. The miracles of healing of St. Mother are known to everyone.
Many people, having gotten rid of illnesses, again come to her temple with gratitude for their healing, and those who could not give birth for a long time bring their babies to show them to Mother. Therefore, believe in our Lord, and healing will definitely come to you, as well as the fulfillment of your requests.
Letters-notes to Mother Matrona
If it is not possible to personally come to the monastery to see Saint Matrona, then you can write a note.
How to write a note to Matrona of Moscow
First of all, words must come from a pure soul. First, ask the Elder to pray for yourself and your loved ones, and only then ask for help with what weighs on your soul the most.
Note from the Saint: “Dear Mother Matrona, pray before the Lord for my husband and my son (names). Forgive me for all voluntary and involuntary sins. Help me always maintain memory, clarity of mind, and reason."
But if you do not live with faith in the Lord, but only ask, then no one will help you. Order a prayer service to Blessed Matrona in your church, pray at the icon, because we have one God.
During her lifetime, Matrona said that it is not she who helps people, but the Lord, to whom she turns in prayer. Holy Mother provides assistance in different situations.
There is no problem that cannot be addressed to her, be it a request for marriage or family needs. But if you ask for a desire to marry a married man, your request will not be heard.
If you need work, then Matrona of Moscow will also ask the Lord to find work for you according to your skills. Just don’t expect the job to find you, you need to make the effort yourself.

Feedback from believers
Sincere faith in the help of the Lord and the intercession of the righteous woman helps the request come true if it benefits the one asking. There are many testimonies of believers whom the blessed mother helped in difficult times, healed, helped to find a spiritual path and fulfill their desire.
Ekaterina: “I was finishing my studies at the university in a paid department, and I had to pay for the last semester. The bank refused me a loan. My relatives could not help me. I fervently prayed every day to Blessed Matronushka and read the akathist. And then one day after prayer I became confident that everything would work out. A few days later, when the payment deadline was approaching, a work colleague brought me the required amount on loan (she knew my problem). Her mother gave the money. But since my friend had nothing to spend it on, she decided to help me. This is how my mother helped me through other people. Pray, Blessed One, to the Lord for us!”
Tatyana K.: “A relative brought us butter as a gift from a pilgrimage trip to Matrona. One day I was baking pies and burned my hand badly. The pain was incredible, and I also had to go to work. And then I remembered Matronushkin’s oil - I smeared the burn, said a prayer, stood in front of the icons. And the pain subsided. I was even able to finish baking the pies and worked safely. The burned area turned red, but there were no blisters. Thanks to the compassionate Matronushka, everything went painlessly and unnoticed.”
Anna Bezborodova: “The blessed old lady helped my husband find a job, and helped me improve my health and also find a good job. During a difficult time for our family, when my husband was left without work and I myself could not work due to illness, I prayed to the Lord and the Virgin Mary. And one day the relics of Saint Matrona of Moscow were brought to our city. My mother-in-law and I left notes, lit candles, and I sincerely prayed for my recovery and help for my husband with his work. And after a while our problems went away. Only the state of my health depends on whether I fast, go to church, take communion, or confess. If I observe all the sacraments, then illnesses will pass me by. I think that the Lord is in this way instructing me on the spiritual path to remember Him and pray.”
Matrona was a deeply religious person from childhood and spent her life in righteous service to the Lord. She was always full of compassion and love for people. And people responded to her in kind - they loved and revered her both during her life and after her death.
About Matrona's predictions for 2021
In fact, the predictions of the Holy Elder are very scary. She predicts the end of the world in 2021. She said that everyone would die even without a war. Her prophecy is alarming as many of them have already come true.
But on the other hand, perhaps her prophecy concerns people’s lack of faith in God. Many people worship money and material values, which can lead to disaster.
The saint urged people to believe in the Lord, repent and pray, then God would save the Russian land. She said that many peoples have disappeared, but Russia was and will be, since there will be a revaluation of values - from material to spiritual!

How to save a family
The enemy of the human race is fighting strongly against the institution of the family. He sees a strong family as a threat, because this is the basis of human happiness and salvation of the soul. The devil wants to get more human souls, so he tempts spouses in every possible way and incites them to quarrel. This usually happens because of trifles that flare up into a serious scandal, not without the help of dark forces.
Spouses need to be especially attentive to their behavior and their words in the family. A wife can remain silent and not reproach her husband, because everyone makes mistakes. It is clear that the modern woman is extremely overloaded and gets tired quickly. She bears the load at work on an equal basis with men, and when she comes home, she is burdened with caring for her neighbors. Instead of relaxing, the wife begins to cook, feed the family, and supervise the preparation of homework, unlike the husband, who sits on the sofa in front of the TV. As a result, the woman takes it out on her children and husband.
To prevent the wife from turning into a vixen instead of a love-spreading keeper of the home, Saint Paisius advised only one family member to go to work. It is best if the husband works and the wife sits at home and takes care of the house and children. But often now you can meet the other way around, a housewife husband and a working mother.
After many years of life, love can “break into everyday life,” as the poet said. To prevent this from happening, both spouses must pray. Ideally, the whole family gathers in the evening for a prayer rule, and on Sunday everyone goes to church together. But if only one of the spouses is a believer, then he must pray doubly, for himself and his half.
The Lord can help maintain peace in the family, but this does not mean that spouses should not do anything. Each family member must try to maintain family peace, humble himself, love and respect the other, and fight his own shortcomings. Otherwise, you shouldn't expect miracles.

But I strongly believe with all my soul in your holy relics, I ask you for financial help. Make sure that I always have enough for black bread, and that despair does not occupy my hand. Let your will be done! Amen!"
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for money

Prayer words for family well-being
“Oh, blessed mother Matrona, we resort to your intercession and tearfully pray to you. As you who have great boldness in the Lord, pour out a warm prayer for your servants, who are in deep spiritual sorrow and asking for help from you. Truly is the word of the Lord: ask, and it will be given to you, and again: even if two of you take counsel upon the earth, whatever you ask, it will be given to you from My Father who is in Heaven. Hear our sighs and bring the Lord to the throne, and where you stand before God, the prayer of a righteous man can do much before God. May the Lord not completely forget us, but look down from the heights of heaven on the sorrow of His servants and bestow the fruit of the womb for something useful. Truly, God wants the child, so do the Lord to Abraham and Sarah, Zechariah and Elizabeth, Joachim and Anna, pray with him. May the Lord God do this to us, out of His mercy and ineffable love for mankind. Blessed be the name of the Lord from now on and forever. Amen".
