Prayer to the Mother of God. Discussion on LiveInternet

LiveInternetLiveInternet

There is no doubt that prayer is a central part of the spiritual life of a believer. In prayer, a person turns to the Supreme Being in whom he believes; this appeal can be directed to gods, saints, angels, spirits, personified forces of nature.

This presupposes a person’s belief in the ambiguity of the real world and the existence of an invisible world, whose representatives are called upon, one way or another, to help a person.

Based on this faith, a person turns in prayer with a request, thanksgiving or glorification.

An example of this is the prayers to the Virgin Mary.

“Most Holy Virgin Mother of God, Good Mother of God, do not forsake us with your eternal and kind prayer, lift us above our heads and souls like a dove. Accept the brightness revealed and the joy of expectation, Intercede and have mercy on the Mother of Christ God, who beseeches God, Who has shown piety to us people with body and soul, Who removes the evil and unclean from the path of those who walk. You bring joyful news to those waiting for God. Rejoice, Most Immaculate and Rejoice, Ever Blessed, With the light of heaven, all souls are warmed by this joy, Your images shine with help and imperishable faith. With Your wonderful icons, the mind and body are strengthened, Let us thank You, Virgin of joy in the heart, fulfillment. In repentance we call Thee, You are the Conqueror of spiritual sorrow, the Almighty Queen of instruction for every person, the bearer of Christ the God and the Preserver of the Orthodox faith. Most Holy Virgin, Mother of God, Good Mother of God, do not forsake us with Your eternal and kind prayer.”

The Virgin Mary is revered in Christianity as the greatest of saints. She is called the Most Holy Virgin, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Mother of the Lord Our God Jesus Christ. According to the Gospel, Mary was a Jewish woman from Nazareth, betrothed to Joseph, who, while remaining a virgin, conceived the firstborn Jesus without seed by the Holy Spirit.

In Christianity, the prayer to the Virgin Mary for help is considered the most powerful and effective. They pray to her when protection and help are needed, prayers are offered out loud or mentally, often in front of icons depicting the Mother of God. Any so-called prayed icons are objects that accumulate parapsychic energy, which is why it seems to those praying that some changes occur to them next to the icons.

There are many Orthodox prayers to the Virgin Mary, they are varied and suitable for different occasions. They can differ in content, they can be laudatory, grateful, petitionary, repentant.

Here is another very powerful prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos:

“My Heavenly Queen, Most Blessed, My Hope and My Hope, Mother of God, Intercessor of the unfortunate and wanderers, Joy of the sorrowing, Patroness of the offended and those in distress! You see my misfortune, you see my sorrow. Help me, for I am weak, shelter me like a stranger. Resolve my offense, for it is in your power! As I have no other help, will I not come to You, Most Holy Theotokos, Representative, Good Comforter, only to You, O Mother of God! For you will keep me and shelter me forever and ever. Amen".

Interesting! For the first time, the Virgin Mary was called the Mother of God only in the middle of the 3rd century AD. Bishop of Alexandria Dionysius. Source
