In addition, the debtor independently gives back what he took without pressure on him.

Biography

In the world his name was Pyotr Ivanovich Krasnopevtsev.
He was born into a poor family, and from childhood he was accustomed to endure hardships. From a young age he led a hardworking life. His elder brother Vasily was a monk. In his youth, Peter, according to the testimony of Evgeniy Poselyanin, had a vision of the Spirit of God: in the form of a snow-white dove that soared in the sky: “From this vision, a thirst for something better sank into his soul, everything earthly became disgusting to him, and it was hard for him between people."

He studied at the Tula Theological Seminary, but did not graduate. He went to the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. There he was the head of the prosphora, and carried out this obedience for more than 12 years. Subsequently, the Monk Nicodemus the Prosphoran appeared to him. In imitation of this saint, Peter learned the Psalter by heart. In 1824 he was tonsured a monk, and in 1834 Father Paphnutius was appointed confessor of the Lavra.

In 1838, Saint Philaret tonsured him into the schema with the name Parthenius - in honor of Saint Parthenius of Lampsaki.

His prayer rule consisted of reading one evangelist in the morning, noon and evening, singing the entire Psalter daily, morning and evening prayers, an akathist to the Savior, the Mother of God, adoration of the Passion of Christ and the song “Rejoice, Virgin Mary,” which he uttered three hundred times. once.

He died on March 25, 1855 on Good Friday.

The daily prayers of the Russian, Bulgarian and some other Orthodox churches included the Prayer of Hieroschemamonk Parthenius of Kiev: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, do not allow vanity, pride, sensuality, negligence, anger to dominate me and snatch me away from Thy love. O Lord, my Creator, all my Hope! Do not leave me without an inheritance in blissful eternity; do it, and I too will follow Your holy example. Grant me this purity of spirit, this simplicity of heart, which make us worthy of Your love. To You, O my God, I lift up my soul and heart, do not allow Your creation to perish, but deliver me from the greatest and only true evil - sin. Grant, Lord, that I may endure with the same patience the anxieties and sorrows of my soul as I joyfully accept the pleasures of my heart. If You want, Lord, you can cleanse and sanctify me. So I surrender myself to Your goodness, asking you to destroy from me everything that is contrary to You and join me to the host of Your chosen ones.

God! Take away from me the idleness of spirit that destroys time; vanity of thoughts that interfere with Your presence and distract my attention in prayer; If, while praying, I deviate from You with my thoughts, then help me, so that by turning my mind away, I do not turn my heart away from You. I confess to You, my Lord God, all the sins of my iniquity, now and before committed before You: forgive me them for the sake of Your holy name and save my soul, which You redeemed with Your precious Blood

I surrender myself to Your mercy, I surrender myself to Your will, do with me according to Your goodness, and not according to my malice and lawlessness. Teach me, Lord, to arrange my affairs so that they contribute to the glorification of Your holy name. Have mercy, O Lord, on all Christians, hear the desires of all those who cry to You, deliver from all evil and save Your servants (names): send them joy, consolation in sorrows and Your holy mercy. God! I pray to You especially for those who have offended and saddened me in some way, or have done any evil: do not punish them for the sake of a sinner, but pour out Your goodness on them. God! I pray to You for all whom I, a sinner, have saddened, offended or tempted by word, deed, thought, knowledge or ignorance. Lord God! Forgive us our sins and mutual insults; remove, Lord, from our hearts all indignation, suspicion, anger, resentment, quarrels and everything that can hinder love and reduce brotherly love. Have mercy, Lord, on those who entrusted me, a sinner and unworthy, to pray for them! Have mercy, Lord, on everyone who asks for Your help. God! Make this day a day of Thy mercy, give to everyone according to his request; be the shepherd of the lost, the leader and light of the ignorant, the mentor of the unwise, the father of the orphans, the helper of the oppressed, the doctor of the sick, the comforter of the dying, and lead us all to the desired goal - to You, our refuge and blessed rest. Amen.

Interesting fact.

In some prayer books, the second sentence of the prayer has an ending expressing submission to the authorities. “O Lord, my Creator, all my Hope! Do not leave me without an inheritance in blissful eternity; do it, so that I too will follow Your holy example and be submissive to the authorities placed over me.”

Meanwhile, the question of the obedience of Jesus Christ to the authorities of his time (Pilate, Herod Antipas, high priests) cannot be resolved unambiguously.

Prayer for reconciliation with husband

The Orthodox prayer for the reconciliation of a wife and her husband is one of the simplest and most effective. They resort to it when all methods have already been tried, but the quarreling spouses cannot find a common language.

This prayer is read for reconciliation with a spouse immediately after a quarrel. You need to do this three times.

Prayer for reconciliation with husband

The prayer book is an appeal to the Savior himself. The wife asks Him: “Help me bring peace to the family, help me, for the sake of all that is holy, to reconcile with my husband, let him agree with me,” and asks the Lord to let the spouses live in harmony, love, and remove everything unnecessary from their lives. They end the proclamation with a threefold “Amen.”

The patron saints of loving spouses in Orthodoxy are the holy princes Peter and Fevronia. You can also turn to them with a request if family life has gone wrong and is full of quarrels.

The text is quite simple and easy to remember. This is an appeal to the great miracle workers, saints of God, Saints Peter and Princess Fevronia.

The prayer asks the holy intercessors to pray to the Lord God for his sinful soul, and also for the holy princely couple to ask the Almighty to send three gifts - true faith, hope and impartial love. It ends with a call for help for yourself and your family, indicating the names of the servants of God in question.

You can turn to Saints Peter and Fevronia anywhere, at home or in church, and at any time, both silently and out loud. But this must be done with special zeal after a quarrel has occurred.

Polyeuctus and Nearchus lived during the persecution under Decius (249–251). They were Greeks by origin, officers of the 12th Roman legion, then stationed in the city of Melitina in Armenia. They had a deep and sincere friendship. Nearchus converted to Christianity, and Polyeuctus still worshiped idols, despite his many virtues.

The first decree to initiate the persecution required all military personnel to make public sacrifices to demonstrate loyalty to the official cult of the emperor. Nearchus sadly told Polyeuctus that this decree would soon separate them forever. Polyeuctus, already partially instructed in the Christian faith thanks to conversations with a friend, answered, beaming with joy: “No, we will not part, for last night Christ, whom you worship, appeared to me in a vision, took off my military cloak, clothed me in shining clothes and gave him a winged horse.” Polyeuctus realized that this vision contained a prediction about his imminent transfer to heaven, to the glorious cohort of victorious martyrs. For a long time he had been a Christian in his mode of action and disposition of spirit.

He lacked only the title of Christian and the divine seal of holy baptism. Then Polyeuctus and Nearchus began to urge each other to despise the blessings and transitory joys of this world in order to receive heavenly bliss.

Nearchus told Polyeuctus that martyrdom can replace baptism, making a Christian one of the soldiers of Christ, for the Lord Himself dwells in the soul of the martyr. From that moment on, Polyeuctus only wanted to accept martyrdom. He said to Nearchus: “My soul now yearns only for everything heavenly, before the eyes of my soul is only Christ, and His radiance illuminates my face. So let's agree to accept martyrdom together. Let’s go and read the imperial decree.” Approaching the tablet with the decree, the courageous Polyeuctus tore it off in front of the astonished crowd, and then, entering the ranks of the pagan procession, tore the idols from the hands of the priests and smashed them into pieces.

He was immediately captured and brought to trial. Polyeuctus was convicted of sacrilege and tortured. However, nothing could make him stop confessing Christ. The executioners were tired of beating him, trying in vain to dissuade him. Then Polyeuctus began to admonish his father-in-law Felix, the ruler of that region, and tried to break his courage, reminding him of his wife and children. “Which wife? What children? - answered Polievkt. – My thought is no longer here. From now on, it is addressed only to heavenly incorruptible blessings. As for your daughter, if she wants to follow me, she will be blessed. If not, then he will perish with those whom you call gods.”

Then his wife Pavlina came out and began to say in tears: “What madness has befallen you? Who seduced you so much that you destroyed twelve of our gods? Polyeuctus answered: “If I alone defeated twelve of your gods, it means that you will no longer be able to find a god here on earth. Pavlina, all you have to do is come with me and worship the true God. Hasten to exchange this transitory life for eternal, heavenly life.”

Seeing that the ascetic of Christ had overcome even his feelings for his family and thereby converted many pagans, the judges pronounced a death sentence.

Polyeuctus joyfully, with a beaming face, walked to the place of execution, as if liberation awaited him, and with words of encouragement to all the Christians accompanying him. Seeing Nearchus, he greeted him and reminded him of the promise they had made to each other. Then, boldly bowing his head under the sword, he accepted martyrdom and baptism with his own blood. The most pious of the Christians took the body of Saint Polyeuctus and buried it in Melitina, and Nearchus wiped off his blood with a cloth and a year later transferred the relics of his friend to the city of Cananeota.

Prayer to the martyr Polyeuctus

Martyr Polyeuctus (troparion, kontakion and prayer)

Thy disciple, Lord, Polyeuctus / in his suffering will receive an imperishable crown from You, our God: / having Thy strength, / overthrow the tormentors, / crush even the demons of weak insolence. / Through our prayers // save our souls.

I will bow my head in the Jordan, / crushing the head of the serpent. / Polyeuctus’s head, cut off, // puts the flatterer to shame.

O holy martyr Polyeuctos! Hear us now, who are earnestly praying to you. Pray for us, servants of God (names)

May we get rid of all sorrows, illnesses, troubles and circumstances and live godly in our present life, walking in the commandments and justifications of the Lord blamelessly. Ask for forgiveness of our sins, health of our bodies, correction of our lives and eternal salvation, for by your warm intercession we are saved, and we will be honored to send glory in the Trinity to our glorious God, Father and S to the Lord and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

You abolished the flattery of idols, Antipo,/ and, having trampled upon the devil’s power,/ before the God-fighters you boldly confessed Christ./ Moreover, with the ranks of the Angels, you established yourself in the Highest,/ Glorified the Lord of all Bringing yours,/ and offering prayerful thanksgiving for us,/ bestowing the grace of healing. / For this reason we honor you, / Hieromartyr Antipo, / pray to Christ God, / / may he save our souls.

Translation: You stopped the idolatry’s seduction, Antipas, and, trampling upon the devil’s power, you boldly confessed Christ before the God-fighters. Therefore, with the angelic ranks, you settle in Heaven and bring a song of praise to the Lord of all, and offer prayerful thanksgiving for us, bestowing the grace of healing. Therefore, we honor you, Hieromartyr Antipas, pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Troparion, tone 4: The rule of faith and the image of meekness, self-control, the teacher, show you to your flock the truth of things: for this reason you have acquired high humility, rich in poverty. Father Hierarch Boniface, pray to Christ God to save our souls.

Kontakion, voice 2: Divine thunder, spiritual trumpet, faith planter and cutter of heresies, saint of the Trinity, great Saint Boniface, with the angels standing ever, pray unceasingly for all of us.

Prayer: Oh, all-holy Boniface, merciful servant of the Merciful Master! Hear those who come running to you, possessed by an addiction to drinking wine, and, just as in your earthly life you never refused to help those who asked you, so now deliver these unfortunates (names). Once upon a time, God-wise father, hail destroyed your vineyard, but you, having given thanks to God, ordered the few remaining grapes to be placed in a winepress and to invite the poor. Then, taking new wine, you poured it drop by drop into all the vessels that were in the bishopric, and God, fulfilling the prayer of the merciful, performed a glorious miracle: the wine in the winepress multiplied, and the poor filled their vessels. Oh, saint of God! Just as through your prayer wine increased for the needs of the church and for the benefit of the poor, so you, blessed one, now reduce it where it causes harm, deliver those who indulge in the shameful passion of wine drinking (names) from their addiction to it, heal them from a serious illness, free them from demonic temptation, strengthen them, the weak, give them, the weak, strength and strength to quickly endure this temptation, return them to a healthy and sober life, direct them to the path of work, put in them the desire for sobriety and spiritual vigor. Help them, saint of God Boniface, when the thirst for wine begins to burn their larynx, destroy their destructive desire, refresh their lips with heavenly coolness, enlighten their eyes, place their feet on the rock of faith and hope, so that, leaving their soul-harming addiction, which entails excommunication from the Heavenly Kingdom, they, having established themselves in piety, were awarded a shameless peaceful death and in the eternal light of the infinite Kingdom of Glory worthily glorified our Lord Jesus Christ with His Beginning Father and with His Most Holy and Life-giving Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer 2: O holy passion-bearer of Christ, warrior of the Heavenly King, despising earthly sensuality and ascending to the Heavenly Jerusalem through suffering, martyr Boniface! Hear me, a sinner, offering prayer songs from my heart, and beg our Lord Jesus Christ to forgive all my sins, committed in knowledge and in ignorance. To her, the martyr of Christ, she showed the image of repentance to sinners! Be a helper and intercessor for the evil of the enemy of the devil with your prayers to God: for I tried a lot to escape his wicked snares, but I was caught in the trap of sin and I am firmly dragged away from him, I cannot get rid of him unless you appear to me, the circumstances are bitter for the one who endures, and many attempts have been made repent, but lie before God. For this reason I come running to you and pray: save me, Holy One of God, from all evils by your intercession, by the grace of the Almighty God, glorified and worshiped in the Trinity of Saints, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

How does prayer to a saint help?

You can pronounce words in front of an icon for various reasons. In most cases, it is advised to do this on Memorial Day, January 22. He is considered the keeper of contracts and oaths. But besides all this, they turn to him with their requests:

childless spouses for the gift of children;
to strengthen faith and take the right path;
for not breaking a given word, promise;
to support and give strength in moments of despair.

But most often the prayer to Polyeuctus is aimed at repaying debts, especially if it concerns people with whom you do not want to spoil relations. After all, sometimes we lend and cannot even imagine that this could cause serious discord. Often money is the basis for breaking relationships even between the closest people.

“Holy Martyr Polyeucte! Look down from the heavenly palace on those who require your help and do not reject our petitions, but, as our constant benefactor and intercessor, pray to Christ God, that He who loves mankind and is abundantly merciful will save us from every cruel situation: from cowardice, flood, fire, sword, invasions of foreigners and internecine warfare. May he not condemn us sinners for our iniquity, and may we not turn the good things given to us from the All-Bounteous God into evil, but into the glory of His holy name and into the glorification of your strong intercession. May the Lord, through your prayers, give us peace of mind, abstinence from harmful passions and all defilement, and may He strengthen throughout the world His One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, which He has acquired with His honest Blood. Pray diligently, holy martyr, may Christ God bless the power, may He establish in His holy Orthodox Church the living spirit of right faith and piety, so that all its members, clean from wisdom and superstition, worship Him in spirit and truth and diligently care about keeping His commandments, May we all live in peace and piety in this present world and achieve blessed eternal life in heaven, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to Him belongs all glory, honor and power, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

Do not forget that if, when asking, you think about your enrichment at the cost of someone else’s losses, then the saint will definitely punish you for this. Your thoughts must be pure and your heart open. If you simply say the words, you will not get any result, since the prayer to the holy martyr Polyeuctus will not come from the heart. In this case, faith in the Lord is important, because a saint is only a conductor between us and the Lord.

The best article for you, go to: Strong prayers for good trading and success in selling goods

God bless you!

Canon to the Holy Martyr Polyeuctus of Melitino

The insect was cut off, and the sun saw the earth, no longer visible, the fierce enemy was flooded with water, and Israel passed through the impassable. The song was sung: We will sing to the Lord, gloriously we will be glorified.

We are satisfied with much-desired food, and we fulfill the blessed dawn, more gloriously, and we are honored with the angelic face, your blessed holiday, Polyeucte, save, who sing to the Lord: gloriously be glorified.

Your luminous and blessed memory, full of the most Divine light, is lifted up, illuminating with bright faith those who sing of you, the good warrior of Christ, the all-blessed Polyeucte, who sings to the Lord: gloriously glorified.

We are imbued with the strength of the Spirit and Divine power, blessed, having dressed yourself, you went out firmly to the struggle of the proud and, having firmly cast down this one, you earnestly cried out: Let us sing to the Lord, gloriously for we have been glorified.

Theotokos:

The Incarnate One, before the Bodyless One, the Virgin Mother of God, gave birth to You, the All-Immaculate and All-Pure One, who abides as a Virgin, with the riches of grace for us for the sake of the poor and the one who saved Him, calling to Him: gloriously be glorified.

Irmos:

You are the affirmation of those who flow to You, Lord, You are the Light of the darkened, and my spirit sings of You.

You changed your wisdom to piety, having been granted the divine vision of Spasov, Polyeucte, from above.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=dMQrjUMQ6xc

Desiring victory, you have spat upon everything, you are more glorious than on earth, and you have been honored with a heavenly inheritance.

Desiring glory even more than intelligence, you strove patiently and cast down the idolatry of dishonor.

Theotokos:

Direct my steps, O Lady, so that I may go to Your Son with a praiseworthy life.

Sedalen, voice 5.

As a good warrior of Christ, we strengthen all of God by His grace, you have given everything to yourself in His love, Nearchus, a faithful warrior, like you, wise. Moreover, having suffered legitimately, you were worthily crowned by the Lord, martyr Polyeucte.

Glory, and now:

You were surrounded by Jordanian streams, who were gloriously dressed in light, in which you renewed Adam’s nature, crushed by evil disobedience, to the Word of God. In the same way, we praise You and glorify Your holy appearance.

Luminous.

Having acquired much-desired heavenly wealth from the soul, O blessed Polyeucte, both glory and lordship, you were in God, and you received the Divine crown from the hand of the Most High with the faces of martyrdom, like a true martyr.

Glory, and now:

In the form of a slave you came, the Word, and baptism, Flightless, like a Man asked. The earth and the sky, and the angels, and the watery nature were terrified. The Forerunner, being afraid, performed his service with fear and joy.

Life of the Martyr Polyeuctus of Melitinsky

Saint Polyeuctus was the first martyr in the Armenian city of Melitene. He was a warrior under the emperor Decius (249–251) and suffered for his faith in Christ under the emperor Valerian (253–259). The saint was a friend of the warrior Nearchus, a staunch Christian, but he himself, leading a virtuous life, remained a pagan.

When the persecution of Christians began, Nearchus said to Polyeuctus: “Friend, we will soon be separated from you, they will take me to torture, and you, perhaps, will renounce your friendship with me.” Polyeuctus answered him that he saw Christ in a dream, who took off his clothes and put on another, light one. “From this moment,” he said, “I am ready to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.”

His father-in-law, Governor Felix, who was entrusted with carrying out the royal decree, was horrified by the act of Saint Polyeuctus and declared that now he would have to die. “Go, say goodbye to your wife and children,” he said. The wife came and began to beg her husband in tears to renounce Christ, and his father-in-law Felix also began to cry. But Saint Polyeuctus remained adamant in his decision to suffer for Christ. With joy he bowed his head under the executioner’s sword and was baptized in his own blood († 259). Soon, when the Church of Christ under Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine triumphed throughout the Roman Empire, a temple was erected in Melitina in the name of the holy martyr Polyeuctus. Many miracles were performed through the prayerful intercession of Saint Polyeuctus. In his church, the parents of St. Euthymius the Great (January 20) fervently prayed for the gift of a son. The birth of the great lamp of Orthodoxy in the year 376 took place, therefore, with the blessing of the holy martyr Polyeuctus. Saint Akakios, Bishop of Melitino, participant in the Third Ecumenical Council and a great champion of universal truth, was also a reader of his memory. Both in the East and in the West, the martyr Polyeuctus is revered as the keeper of oaths and contracts.

Life of Saint Polyeuctus

It is possible to enter the ranks of saints only if a person, during his lifetime, behaved with dignity and observed all church canons. Not much is known about his life. He served in the army of Emperor Decius. Initially, he was a pagan, but at the same time he led a virtuous life. His friend Nearchus encouraged him to become a Christian. During the persecution of believers, a decree was issued that everyone should worship idols.

He went out into the square, tore the scroll and knocked out the statues of their gods from the hands of the priests. His father-in-law was ordered to ensure that this order was carried out. He learned about the act with bitterness and was forced to execute him. There is a legend that his wife asked him to renounce Christ, but he was not inclined. Therefore he was sentenced to death. After the victory of Christianity in Melitina, a temple was consecrated in his honor.

Memorial Day: January 22

Polyeuctus lived in the first half of the 3rd century in the city of Melitina, which was part of Lesser Armenia. During his military career he served two emperors - Decius (249-251 AD) and Velerian (253-259 AD). Almost all his life, Polyeuctus was a pagan, but virtuous, and was friends with the Christian warrior Nearchus.

In those years, persecution of Christians began, which did not spare Melitina. Nearchus then said to the saint: “Friend, we will soon be separated from you, they will take me to torture, and you, perhaps, will renounce your friendship with me.” To which he replied that Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream and changed his clothes to light ones. “From this moment,” he said, “I am ready to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Faith and love for Christ flared up in Polyeuctus with a bright flame. He came to the central square, where he tore down the emperor’s decree, by which everyone was obliged to worship pagan idols. When the priests passed by, he knocked the idols out of their hands.

The news of this behavior of Polyeuctus reached the ruler Felox, who was the saint's father-in-law. He, together with the warrior’s wife, tried to convince him and renounce the Christian faith, but the saint was adamant and voluntarily lay down on the block. Thus, in 259, Polyeuctus became the first martyr of Melitina.

Under Constantine the Great, a temple was erected in that city in the name of the holy martyr Polyeuctus. The saint's feast day is celebrated on January 22.

To help warring spouses

Many girls believe that if “I am to blame” for a quarrel, then it is necessary to read some kind of conspiracies for reconciliation. It is worth saying right away that the church does not welcome any rituals, witchcraft, magic, or the reading of dubious prayers.

It also won’t hurt one of the spouses to go to church and order a prayer service for the eradication of anger and the increase of love. You can order it at any temple. The note must include the names of both spouses.

The holy fathers also recommend that spouses read psalms, which strengthen family ties and are an inexhaustible source of worldly wisdom.

If there are any difficulties, then you need to read the following psalms:

Psalm 43 – protects against hasty decisions and conclusions, gives the opportunity to reflect on what has been done and gives wisdom in resolving various family troubles;
45 – protects against homewreckers;
Psalm 54 - after reading it, the spouses treat each other with respect;
116 – brings kindness, love, respect to the family;
126 – gives spouses the opportunity to think about their actions every time, learn to give in and respect each other.

Pray, driving away negative thoughts from yourself. If hatred and resentment predominate in the soul, then it is better to postpone conversion until calm comes.

There must be an icon of the Mother of God and Jesus.

Prayers and Instructions

The loss of grace is worse than all losses.

The closer you get to God, the more the enemy will grab hold of you.

You should never follow your thoughts, even if they are good, but test them with time.

We must hand over the higher paths to God Himself through our father and mentor.

Our desires and intentions dissipate like dust. So, of course, we must surrender to the will of our Leader.

Unspeakable benefits come from solitude.

He who has acquired the fear of God has neither sorrow nor joy on earth.

To avoid embarrassment and preserve the spirit of prayer, avoid all kinds of conversations and visits, prefer solitude to everything and think more often about death.

The coming of the Holy Spirit scorches and destroys all passions.

Honor, which comes from people, must be hateful to the soul that seeks salvation and recognizes its weakness.

To achieve perfect purity, have no attachment, even spiritual, to a person, or to a thing; love everyone with perfect love, as yourself, but without partiality, that is, do not desire the presence or vision of your loved one and do not enjoy the thought of him.

Whoever has not achieved the measure of perfection himself and begins to teach others, destroys what he had.

There will be only what the Lord has determined.

Do everything contrary to the desires of the flesh: if you want to lie down more peacefully, force yourself to do the opposite; if you want to lean on your elbows while sitting, refrain; and so on in everything.

You must force yourself and not want to pray and do all good things.

To receive the Holy Spirit it is necessary to wear out the flesh: give the flesh and receive the Spirit.

Every blessed soul is simple, just, merciful, kind, not proud, not malicious, not dignified, not insightful, self-controlled and fearing God.

Evil sticks to us like a contagious disease. If you often deal with a pagan, with a slanderer, with a lover of peace, you yourself will imperceptibly fall into the same vices. And vice versa, often treat yourself with a spiritual husband and a man of prayer - the same virtues will flow into you.

A person is unclean and passionate and his things are infected with passions; don't touch them, don't use them.

You should not tell others about your exploits and prayer rules. Even if it was not out of vanity, the gift that you discovered will be taken away from you.

A monk must live alone, and the other with him is the Lord. The monk loves all people, but is bored with them because they separate him from God.

Without prayer you cannot endure solitude, without solitude you cannot acquire prayers. True prayer is that which has grown into the soul and is performed by the spirit.

No one returned to their cell the same way they left it.

Saints are overcome by sorrows.

It’s good with God everywhere, but without Him it’s very boring both in heaven and in hell.

Reading the Psalter tames passions, and reading the Gospel burns the thorns of our sins, for the word of God “is a consuming fire.” Once, for forty days, I was reading the Gospel about the salvation of one soul who had done good to me, and then I saw in a dream a field covered with thorns. Suddenly fire falls from heaven, the thorns that covered the field are burned up, and the field remains clean. Perplexed about this vision, I hear a voice: “The thorns that covered the field are the sins of the soul that did you good; the fire that burned him is the word of God, what you have given her for her.”

Read the Passionate Gospels when the opportunity arises, especially in times of sorrow.

Silence collects, but verbosity scatters.

May God's blessing be upon you, my spiritual child, the protection of our undoubted hope of the Mother of God and the help of the miracle workers of Pechersk.

To protect against violations of contracts and promises. Prayer to the holy martyr Polyeuctus.

Saint Polyeuctus was the first martyr in the Armenian city of Melitene. He was a warrior under Emperor Decius (249–251).

The saint was a friend of the warrior Nearchus, a staunch Christian, but he himself, leading a virtuous life, remained a pagan. When the persecution of Christians began, Nearchus said to Polyeuctus: “Friend, we will soon be separated from you, they will take me to torture, and you, perhaps, will renounce your friendship with me.” Polyeuctus answered him that he saw Christ in a dream, who took off his clothes and put on another, light one. “From this moment on, I am ready to serve the Lord Jesus Christ,” he said.

Inflamed in spirit, Saint Polyeuctus went out to the city square, tore up the royal decree hanging there on the obligatory worship of idols and knocked out the idols they were carrying from the hands of the priests. His father-in-law, ruler Felox, was horrified by the act of Saint Polyeuctus. “Go, say goodbye to your wife and children,” he said. The wife came and began to beg her husband in tears to renounce Christ, and Felox also began to cry. But Saint Polyeuctus remained adamant in his decision to suffer for Christ. With joy he bowed his head under the executioner's sword and was baptized in his own blood.

In the temple, built in honor of the saint during the reign of Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine, after prayers to the martyr, numerous miracles and healings took place.

In the tradition of the Christian Church, Saint Polyeuctus is revered as the keeper of contracts, promises and oaths.

Prayers are offered before his image in order to protect oneself from violators of contracts and promises.

It so happened that I had to conduct common business with a person about whom I was told more than once that he was unreliable, did not keep his word, and could let him down at any moment.

And so I sit somehow and wait for his call and I know that if he doesn’t call, I and other people will be in big trouble.

An hour has passed since the time we agreed on, and he still hasn’t called.

I remembered that there are saints whom people pray to in order to protect themselves from such promise breakers. I called my sister - she is my “expert” in these matters - and found out from her that I needed to pray to the martyr Polyeuctus.

I found prayers on the Internet and a photograph of the icon, read the life of the saint and began to read the prayers. I spent an hour reading. An hour later the expected call came. The matter got off the ground and everything ended well.

Isn't this a miracle?

Now before any contract I read prayers to the martyr - in my work I can’t do without such help.

Prayer 2**

Oh, most blessed and ever-glorious is our Father Joseph! Leading your greatness to God and resorting to your firm intercession, in contrition of heart we pray to you: illuminate us with the light of the grace given to you and with your prayers help us in the stormy The sea of this life will pass serenely and the haven of salvation will be reached without pain: for being enslaved by vain things and loving sins, and even if weakness arises from the evils that have befallen us, to whom shall we turn if not to you, who has shown an inexhaustible wealth of mercy in your earthly life? We believe that even after your departure you gained much of the gift of showing mercy to the needy. Moreover, as we now fall to your celibate icon, we tenderly ask you, Holy One of God: having been tempted, help us too, who are tempted; by fasting and vigil trampling down the demonic power, and protecting us from enemy attacks; nourished by the hunger of the perishing, and ask us from the Lord for an abundance of the fruits of the earth and everything necessary for salvation; disgraced by heretical wisdom, protect the Holy Church from heresies and schisms and confusion with your prayers: so that we all may be wise, with one heart glorifying the Holy, Consubstantial, Life-Giving The true and indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, to all ages. Amen.
