Technique and Internet

If only the children were healthy, and we will earn everything else. Surely this hackneyed expression is familiar and close to each of us. The health of the child is holy - an axiom that does not require any evidence and confirmation for normal, sane parents. There is probably no greater torment than to see the torment of a sick child, regardless of whether he is small or is already nursing children himself.

Of course, we first of all turn to doctors, try to find a way to the luminaries of medicine, to get to the best clinic, even if it is located thousands of kilometers from home. To heal the child we are in literally words are ready for everything. By the way, our readiness for anything is a very thin bridge between two worlds: the world of reasonable actions and desperate actions. Desperation is a bad adviser. It, of course, can mobilize unprecedented and unknown forces, and the possibilities of both the sick person himself and the mother of the one who fell into the clutches of the disease.

But often, unfortunately, this happens after pronouncing the terrible formula of renunciation of the soul, if only the child was alive and well. And in moments of exacerbation of the disease, we begin to bargain like this, appealing to higher powers: “Lord, if my child gets well, I will forever give up such and such, or do such and such, or never do such and such again.”… Believing that we make an unshakable vow, the majority, unfortunately, almost immediately after the child’s recovery forgets him. Heaven favors only sincere faith in the power of the Lord. The most strong prayer- a mother's sincere prayer for the health of the child.

Holy helpers

First of all, having gathered all your will into a fist so that the child sees on your face only confidence that everything will be fine, turn to the Almighty with these words:

O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy and Soul, worshiped and glorified in the inseparable Trinity, look kindly on Your servant (name), obsessed with illness; forgive him all his sins; give him healing from the disease; restore his health and bodily strength; give him a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and peaceful blessings, so that he, together with us, brings grateful prayers to You, the All-Bountiful God and my Creator. Most Holy Theotokos, by Your all-powerful intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of God's servant (name). All saints and angels of the Lord, pray to God for His sick servant (name). Amen.

When reading a prayer, do not forget to take into account such a nuance: if your child is not more than seven years old, you should not say “God's servant”, but “God's baby”. All children up to seven years old inclusive are God's angels, babies.

God for the mother of a sick child is the chief physician, the luminaries of medicine. He also has assistants, whose words and advice he listens to - saints who have the gift to heal the body and soul. Prayer for the recovery of the child, addressed to them, receives additional strength. The saint will pray to God for health with you.

Who exactly to contact? Since ancient times, it has been considered the strongest healer, who heals the most complex diseases according to the laws of the Lord. Healer Panteleimon. To make it easier for the great martyr to help you and your child, hold the image of the sick person in front of you and repeat three times before the icon of the saint:

“Intercessor and Healer, Panteleimon - Great Martyr. In a prayer of repentance, I turn to you, do not refuse only to help me. May my child be healed of evil, and grace come to him from above. I beg you, cast off all fetters, scabs, diseases and secret malice. Let the mercy of Christ happen faster, and my child will not languish. If I have wine for my child, let her retreat as soon as possible. May it be so. Amen"

You can do this in a church, a hospital ward, at home... The point is not in the place where you read the prayer, but in believing what you say. And also remember: in home prayers, you can even mention the name of an unbaptized sick person. God is merciful to the prayers of a mother, for whom there is nothing more valuable than her child. And even unbaptized children can be partially helped by the generous alms that are given for them, without mentioning their names.

Along with the prayer to the Healer, Panteleimon appreciates the prayer for the health of the child, addressed to the Matrona of Moscow. She tirelessly helped the suffering during her lifetime, and helps after her physical death. If possible, go to the temple, order a mass, a magpie for the health of a sick person (you can’t leave the child’s bed, ask him to do this with a relative, relatives or just good friends). Buy candles (three candles should be put to the icons of Jesus Christ, Panteleimon and Matronushka), draw holy water, which you will then pour into any drink for a sick child, wash his face, hands ... The words of the prayer for the health of the child of the Blessed Old Lady are as follows:

“Blessed Old Lady Matrona, in a mournful hour I turn to you. Forgive me all sinful weaknesses and reject all demonic filth. Help my child to heal quickly and get drunk with faith in God. Do not punish the child with pain, sickness and bodily ailments. Do not torment his soul with suffering. I hope for your help and again I pray for health. May your will be done. Amen"

If the child has entered the age of adolescence or youth, you can read the following before the image of the Holy Matrona:

Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow. I beg you for healing and ask for your generous forgiveness. Intercede before the Lord God for a sick slave (sick slave) (say the name of the sufferer). Reject all bodily ailments and mental turmoil. Send down a speedy recovery and reject the severe test. Let the sick (sick) get better quickly, and his (her) soul get rid of grief. May your will be done. Amen.

And it would be nice to have an icon with the Holy Matronushka next to the bed of a sick person. She has the most powerful energy.

There is another indisputable axiom: the aspirations and thoughts of the mother are most understandable to the same, who has endured the pain, bitterness, suffering of the mother. In other words, the miraculous healing prayer will be the prayer of the Most Holy Theotokos - the mother of the Son of God. She is addressed like this:

“O Blessed Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your shelter my children (names), all the youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of their mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as if You are the Divine protection of Your servants. Amen"

The Most Holy Theotokos will also hear such a prayer for the health of the child:

“Mother of God, introduce me into the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the spiritual and bodily wounds of my children (names), inflicted by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Yours, Most Pure, heavenly patronage. Amen"

However, any words addressed to God will be heard. The main thing is that they are pronounced from the heart, with faith. Sincere mother's prayer is the strongest. So it has always been and always will be.

Prayer that comes from the depths of the heart and soul has tremendous power. When a person's thoughts are pure and prayer is the most sincere. The most effective and pure is the mother's petition for children, because children are the most important thing in a woman's life. A mother loves her child just like that, her mother's heart always hurts for her child and feels trouble.

Every mother wants to protect her children not only physically, but also to protect them from illness, mental anguish, and heavy thoughts. It is the mother's spiritual petition for her children that can help them recover faster, improve their well-being, and improve relationships.

A mother's prayer for children has great power, believing women resort to prayer very often, trying to protect their child from problems.

In difficult moments, when a child is unwell or suffers from an illness, a sacred prayer for the health of children will come to the rescue, it will give protection to a son or daughter, and calm the heavy thoughts of the mother.

The most effective prayers for the health of children

The most powerful prayer is sincere prayer in front of the image of Jesus Christ. If a child is seriously ill, has stepped on a crooked path, has trouble, turn to the Lord in your request and ask him for help.

The prayer goes like this:“Jesus Christ, there will be Your mercy on my child (name), save my child under your shelter, save him from all evil thoughts, drive away every enemy from him, open his ears and eyes of the heart, grant humility to his heart. Lord, we are Your creation, have pity on my child (name) and guide him to repentance. Save, merciful Lord, and have mercy on my child, enlighten his mind with your Light, and guide him on the path of your commandments and teach him, our Savior, to do your will.

Teach our Lord, my child (name) prays to you, may prayer be his salvation, support and joy, comfort in sorrow. May prayer save him, as we are saved by prayer to You. And if he sins, then accept him, our Savior, may he bring repentance to you and grant him forgiveness with your mercy.

This sacred petition is able to give protection in any matter and calm the minds of children, guide them on the true path, but only if the woman pronounces it sincerely and worries about her children.

The maternal prayer, pronounced in the temple of God, before the face of the Saints, has the greatest power. The strongest prayer is the one that is read from a pure heart with pure and sincere intentions. Each word of prayer must pass through the heart and find a response in it.

If the mother does not have the opportunity to do this, relatives can go instead of her, the main thing is that their thoughts be pure.

Important principles for reading prayers:

Even the most unpleasant illnesses and symptoms recede if there is a loving mother next to the sick baby who takes care of him, supports him and can sincerely read the words of prayer.

Prayers for health are always in great demand. They are used in a wide variety of life situations. People offer prayers to the Savior, the Most Holy Theotokos and other saints in order to be healed of various serious ailments, recover after surgery and help loved ones recover.

The most powerful Orthodox prayers for health

It should be remembered that the most powerful prayer is the one that is uttered with sincere faith in the soul. In this case, a prayer appeal can work even at a distance, and often such a prayer works real miracles and turns out to be stronger than the most expensive medicines.

The most powerful prayer for the health of the sick is an appeal to the Lord and the Virgin Mary.

It sounds like this:

“O Most Merciful Lord, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, inseparable in the Holy Trinity. I adore and praise you. Turn your gaze to the Servant (s) of God (s) (the name of the sick person) who is sick and suffering. I ask you to forgive him all his sins, grant him healing from the disease; restore his bodily strength and heal his soul. Grant the Servant (s) of God (s) (the name of the sick person) a long life in health, filled with prosperity. Grant him all the worldly blessings that will fill his life with joy. And he will pray to you and offer thanksgiving prayers, as the Creator of the whole world. I turn to you, Most Holy Theotokos, for your intercession. Help me to beg from Your Son, my Lord, healing for the Servant (s) of God (s) (name of the sick person). I will also ask you, Holy Angels of the Lord, to pray to God for the sick and his recovery. Amen".

The prayer service in the church for the health of the sick is very effective. It can be performed by the church for forty days, starting on any day. That is why its second common name is "magpie". The number "forty" in Christianity is symbolic; it is very often found in Holy Scripture.

  • The Jews wandered in the wilderness for forty years in search of the promised land;
  • The prophet Moses withstood the fast for forty days;
  • Jesus Christ after Baptism spent 40 days in the wilderness in order to discover the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.


Sorokoust can be ordered at any convenient time. The only exception is the period of Great Lent. At this time, a large liturgy is performed only on weekends. It is recommended at this time to leave notes about the health of a sick person, every time you visit the temple.

Ordering Sorokoust is very simple. To do this, you need to come to the temple and write on a piece of paper the name of the person for whose recovery you want to pray. This note should be left in the correct place.

It is possible to offer prayers for health and healing not only for believers, but also for unbelievers. It is advisable to emphasize in the prayer text that the sick person is unbaptized.

In addition, it is important to add the following phrase:

“Vouchee, Lord, to accept legal baptism (name of a person).

You can pray for health, both within the walls of the temple and at home. But this must be done in a specially organized place in front of the icons of the saints. You can offer prayers for health and healing not only for yourself, but also for your family and friends. Prayer will be effective if the person who is sick has been baptized in a church. Of course, you can also pray for unbaptized people, but the effectiveness of prayer appeal in this case will be much lower.

Highly strong action has a prayer service ordered in the church. In this case, prayers for health are said by the clergyman as part of the service. You can order a prayer service for one day, and it can also be read for a month or 40 days. In any case, it significantly increases the chances of a sick person to recover.

Which Saint to pray for the health of oneself, loved ones and relatives

With a prayer appeal for the granting of health and healing, they turn to various Saints.

It is believed that the most powerful are prayers directed to:

  • To the Savior;
  • To the Most Holy Theotokos;
  • To the Blessed old woman Matrona of Moscow;
  • To Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker.

At the same time, the power of prayers to the Lord and the Most Holy Theotokos is understandable without any explanation, because they occupy the top positions in the hierarchical ladder of the Higher Powers. The Lord is the Creator and controls everything that happens on earth. The Most Holy Theotokos, who gave the world the Savior, has always been considered the intercessor of people. She always hears the appeals of believers and responds to their requests.

Matrona of Moscow is one of the revered saints in Orthodoxy. During her lifetime, she healed people from terrible diseases, so she continues to provide help from heaven. Nicholas the Wonderworker was also known during his earthly life for healing people. Evidence of the power of these Saints are many ancient church manuscripts that describe miraculous healings.

The Three-Handed Icon is a special image. Below the image of the Mother of God is the third brush, which looks like separate element, but on the other hand it is perceived as a third brush Holy Mother of God. This icon is known for its healing features throughout the Orthodox world.

The history of the creation of the icon is associated with the name of St. John of Damascus. This man lived in Syria and was a famous poet and philosopher. For a long time he served as an adviser to the caliph. But after the emperor-iconoclast Leo the Isaurian came to the throne, great persecutions of Christians began. To destroy the fiery protector of the icons, the ruler used cunning. He slandered the Monk John of Damascus before the caliph. As punishment, the angry caliph ordered the philosopher's right hand to be cut off.

Bleeding John of Damascus, having come home, wrote a letter to the caliph, who believed the slander, that he would return his severed hand to him. The ruler, taking pity on John, complied with his request. After that, John locked himself in his cell and began to pray earnestly in front of the icon of the Mother of God. A miracle happened - and the severed hand grew back, only a scar remained at the junction. So that this event would remain in memory, John cast a brush from silver and attached it to the icon of the Virgin. Later, on the lists from this Mother of God image, they began to write a third hand. Time passed and icon painters began to display a severed hand on the lists.

The Monk John of Damascus presented the miraculous image of the monastery of Saint Sava the Sanctified, which was located near Jerusalem. This icon adorned the church until the 13th century. Then "Three Hands" was donated to the Serbian Archbishop Savva. Soon the Turkish conquest took place and local Christians took the icon out of the country in order to prevent abuse of it. There is a legend that the Shrine was simply tied to a donkey and he himself, without encountering obstacles on his way, brought it to the Hilandar Athos monastery. Since then, this icon has become one of the most revered images in the famous Orthodox monastery.

In Russia, the first list appeared at the request of Patriarch Nikon. He was placed in the New Jerusalem Monastery. To acquaint believers with the iconography, initially a tablet with an interpretation was attached to the image. Another list was intended for the wife of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich.

In Orthodoxy, the Three-handed icon is highly respected. It was before this image that she offered prayers royal family before being shot.

Healings took place many times near the lists from the Three-Handed Icon. This icon of the Most Holy Theotokos still enjoys big love and reverence for the Russian Orthodox Church. Before this icon, various prayers are read aimed at healing.

One of them sounds like this:

“Oh, the Most Holy Lady of Heavenly Lady Mother of God! You performed a miracle, healed St. John of Damascus. By her miraculous action she bestowed true hope on the people. Hear us sinners who have committed sins due to their ignorance. Forgive us and turn your eyes on us, before your icon of those who pray. Hear our pleas for help, do not deny us our prayer. You are known for your generosity and mercy, so deliver us from diseases, sorrows and sorrows. Help all of us who honor your icon, kneel before it. And we will all sing joyfully and glorify your name with love, you are chosen among all, blessed forever and ever. Amen".

The text of another strong prayer is as follows:

Oh, Most Holy and Great Lady of Heaven, Most Holy Theotokos Virgin Mary! We fall down to your image and worship you, remembering before your holy icon, all your miraculous healings. Hear us sinners, turn your holy eyes on us. You pray before the Lord for all our sins known and unknown. You, Holy Mother, we pray you to deliver us from illnesses, sorrows and sorrows. Beg the Lord to forgive us our sins, committed out of unreason and stupidity. Near your icon, we glorify all your deeds and your mercy. Grant us your blessing for a prosperous life in health. We pray to You and ask You, the All-good and All-Generous Intercessor of the human race. Heal our wounds and grant consolation in sorrow. Do not let us deviate from the true path and protect us from demonic temptations. Give us support in helping against dashing and unkind people so that they cannot harm our health. We pray for your help in strengthening the faith in our souls. Grant us hope that we will be able to answer for our deeds before the Lord Most High when our hour comes. Let us rejoice in the forgiveness of our sins and in the Kingdom of God. Do not judge us for our iniquities and do not deny us your help. And we will pray near your image and glorify all your good deeds. Amen".

Blessed old woman Matrona of Moscow is known to all Orthodox believers. Today, pilgrims from the farthest places come to her grave, which is located on the territory of the Intercession Monastery. People turn to the Matrona of Moscow with requests for their healing and the recovery of their loved ones.

For prayer to the Saint to be effective, a person must turn to the Blessed Matrona with spiritual humility, sincerity and believe that she will definitely help. Before the start of prayer, alms should be distributed to the poor and donations should be made to the address of the liturgical institution.

The most famous prayer to the Matrona of Moscow sounds like this:

“Oh, Blessed Old Lady, Mother Matrona! Your soul is in Heaven before the throne of our Lord Almighty and Just. Your body rests on the earth. You exude miracles with your grace. Turn your merciful gaze on us who turn to you with a prayer. Forgive us our sins and console us in illnesses, do not let us succumb to sinful temptations. Help us to be healed from severe ailments, beg forgiveness for us before God for our sins, iniquities and sins. Ask him for well-being for us and deliverance from troubles and sorrows. We who have received the grace of God will glorify the Trinity, the One God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Prayer honored by the mother for a sick child (children) to the Mother of God

Everyone knows the fact that a mother's prayer asking for the recovery of a sick child has great power and can work wonders. But you should definitely remember that prayer does not mean that you need to refuse the help of doctors. Prayer appeal only enhances the methods of treatment used. Prayer will help restore the lost strength of the child and the spirit weakened by illness.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the first mother in the Christian world. She always hears the sincere requests of mothers and provides effective assistance. Therefore, if the child is seriously ill, it is recommended to seek help for his recovery from the Most Holy Theotokos. Prayer will give strength to a sick child and force the body to fight a dangerous disease.

The prayer appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos is as follows:

“Most Holy Lady of Heaven, Virgin Mary, hear the prayer of the mother. Save and save my child (name) under Your protective shelter. And also protect all the children and babies of other mothers. Cover all our beloved children with your protective robe, help us mothers raise them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents. Show them the true path of life and save them from temptations, beg the Lord to forgive the sins committed due to misunderstanding, so that they have hope for the Kingdom of Heaven. I entrust my child to Your motherly care and believe that you will protect and save him from all life's adversities. Heal, Mother of God, the spiritual and bodily wounds of my child, inflicted by my thoughtless sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Yours, Most Pure, heavenly patronage. Amen".

Prayer of the Kazan Mother of God for the child to recover and not get sick

Very effective is the prayer aimed at the recovery of the child, read before the Icon of the Kazan Mother of God. Her acquisition was already miraculous. The image was found by a girl, after a vision, at the conflagration of Kazan in 1579. Since then, the icon has been working real miracles, helping people recover from the most terrible diseases.

It sounds like this:

“Oh, Most Holy Lady Lady of Heaven, Most Holy Theotokos! With fear, faith and sincere love, falling down before Your icon, we pray to You. Hear us and turn your bright gaze on us. We ask you to beg your Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ, to keep our country in the world, save your Holy Church, and protect the world from unbelief, heresies and schism. You are the Intercessor and Helper of all Christians. Deliver us, sincerely believing in Your power, from sinful falls, from human malice, from all demonic temptations, sorrows, troubles, and from vain death without repentance. Grant us humility of heart, purity of thoughts, let us correct our sinful life, forgive us our sins. In gratitude, we will sing your name and glorify the Lord our God. Amen".

Prayer for living sick parents and their health

Parents are the closest people to whom we owe our birth. Therefore, when they start to get sick, you need to help them recover through prayer.

If trouble took you by surprise, and one of your parents fell ill completely unexpectedly for you, then you should immediately visit the temple and pray near the Icon of the Holy Matrona of Moscow.

Having put three candles for health, it is necessary to whisper the following prayer words:

“I beg you, Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow. Heal my parent (the name of the sick parent), give him the strength to be healthy. Let not his body be tormented by a fierce disease. May it be so. Amen".

After that, you need to cross yourself and leave the temple, you first need to purchase 12 church candles and collect holy water. At home, you need to continue the prayer ceremony, which will help parents recover and quickly recover from illness.

You need to pray at home in front of the icons, so if your house does not have a red corner, then be sure to organize it. In the evening, you should retire, light candles and read the following prayers.

Lord God:

“Lord All-Merciful, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I ask you for the health of your parents. Have mercy, save them from ailments and help them overcome difficult times. Give them strength to offer prayers and show them the path of righteousness. Extend their years of life. May your will be done. Amen".

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker:

“Holy Wonderworker Nicholas, I appeal to you with sincere prayer. I ask you to protect my parents from illness, from weakness and weakness. Help them to follow the righteous path and give them hope for the Kingdom of Heaven. Don't let yourself succumb to sinful temptations. Intercede for them before our Lord. May your will be done.

Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer, helping before and during the operation

Prayers to Panteleimon the Healer have great power. This Saint lived in the 3rd century. It is noteworthy that his parents were adherents of different faiths. The father followed paganism, and the mother professed Christianity. It was the mother who raised the boy in the true faith. But it so happened that the woman passed away very early, and the father forced the young man to believe in paganism.

AT young age he became interested in healing and he showed amazing abilities that allowed him to successfully heal people. After graduation, he was appointed a doctor at the court of Emperor Maximilian.

Once he managed to be present at the miraculous healing by prayer. Presbyter Yermolai resurrected the boy, who no longer showed signs of life after the poisoning. From that moment on, Panteleimon believed in the power of the Christian faith and soon underwent the rite of Baptism.

After that, the healer began to provide medical care free of charge. He helped everyone who asked for help and did not take money for it. This behavior of Panteleimon aroused the anger of the emperor and his entourage, and they summoned him to court. But the healer demonstrated the power of Christ's faith, healing a person from an illness only by prayer. After that, the emperor tried to torture Panteleimon to renounce the faith, but he did not succeed. The healer was thrown into a cage to be torn apart by wild animals, but they did not dare to touch the man, but peacefully lay down at his feet. During one of the prayers, the soul of Panteleimon was called by the Lord to Heaven. Only after that the executioner was able to cut off the head of the Healer.

A strong prayer to Panteleimon the Healer must be read before and after the operation.

It sounds like this:

“Oh, the Holy Healer Panteleimon, the great saint of God, the merciful doctor! I ask for Your mercy, hear me a sinner, turn your gaze to me, groaning and screaming. Grant me physical healing. Ask the Almighty Lord to fill my soul with strength and help me resist the terrible disease. Ask the Lord to forgive all my sins known and unknown. Do not turn away from my sins, committed out of ignorance and unreason. Ask the Almighty for a petition for me, so that your prayer becomes my oil for my spiritual wounds. Heal my soul and body, let me live the rest of my days in prosperity, by the will of God. Holy, saint of God! Begged the Lord to give me hope for the health of my body and the salvation of my soul.

But all of them were committed by me out of ignorance, and not for evil. I ask for forgiveness for my sins committed, so that they do not affect my health. I pray that your Divine healing rays will wash my blood and expel a terrible disease from my body. May your rays cleanse my soul. I believe and hope that only with your help I will be able to cope with the disease. Bless all the paths I take to reach complete healing and recovery. I hope and believe that your Divine balm will give strength to my body, and lightness to my soul. The unbearable pain will let me go and the wounds will heal as soon as Your help comes.
