For stolen items

To return what was stolen, they pray to John the Warrior, who is called upon to restore justice. Before turning to the saint, it is recommended to read the “Our Father”.

Then you need to present the stolen item and read a prayer, preferably in front of the icon of John:

From Julian, the godless king, Saint John the Stratelates was sent to kill Christians, you helped some from your estate, while others, convincing you to flee from torment by the infidels, you freed, and for this many suffered torment and imprisonment in prison from the tormentor. After the death of the wicked king, being released from prison, you spent the rest of your life in great virtues until your death, adorning yourself with cleanliness, prayer and fasting, giving abundant alms to the poor, visiting the weak and comforting the mourning. Therefore, in all our sorrows, we have you as a helper and in all the troubles that befall us: we have you as a comforter, John the warrior: running to you, we pray to you, be the healer of our passions and the deliverer of our spiritual suffering, because you have received from God power useful for the salvation of all give, John of ever-memorable, nourisher of wanderers, liberator of captives, physician of the weak: helper of orphans!

Hear and do not reject us, and hasten to intercede for us, Stratelate John, denouncing thieves and kidnappers, and the thefts they commit in secret, faithfully praying to you, revealing to you, and bringing people to joy with the return of property. Resentment and injustice are heavy for every person, everyone grieves over the loss of something stolen or missing. Hearken to those who mourn, Saint John: and help them find the stolen property, so that, having found it, they glorify the Lord for His generosity forever. Amen.

Third prayer to the martyr John the Warrior

O great martyr of Christ John! Hear me running to you (name), grant me quick help and intercession in my grief (the content requested), for with your help and struggle all those who show evil to me will be put to shame. Amen.

Saint John was a Slav - perhaps this explains his widespread veneration in Russia. He lived in the 4th century and is revered as a martyr. Prayers to John the Warrior are still a reliable protection for Christians.

John the Warrior - Courageous Defender of the Faith

Not much is known from the biography of the saint, but enough to arouse respect and remain in the memory of many generations of believers. It is not clear how the Slav ended up in the Roman army; the exact dates of birth and death are unknown. The church holiday was established on the day of the transfer of the relics.

But historians are sure of many things. The saint was an equestrian warrior, served under the command of Emperor Flavius, who was after the great Constantine, was brought up in the Christian faith, but later betrayed it and began to profess paganism. The first thing he did when he came into power was to persecute Christians.

It is not for nothing that they pray to John the Warrior when protection is needed. Although he was obliged by duty to kill followers of Christ, the courageous Christian did his best to help his brothers in faith avoid reprisals. He warned them when raids were being prepared. Not everyone was saved; many ended up in prison. The saint consoled such people as best he could:

• supported morally;

• brought food;

• clothed those who needed it;

• organized escapes.

His mercy extended not only to Christians, but also to pagans. He also protected them from offenders. Many of them, thanks to this, thought about how great the one God is. And today, in prayers to John the warrior, people seek protection.

What do they pray to John the Warrior for?

However, such activity could not go unnoticed. After all, John the warrior went against the direct order of the emperor. He was put under arrest. There, the former commander of a thousand was supposed to die of hunger. The saint prayed, preparing for death. But the Lord prepared a different fate for him - the cruel emperor himself died. Then the saint was released. He ended his days in Constantinople, surrounded by brothers in faith.

The burial place of John the warrior is unknown; over time, he was wiped off the face of the earth. But the relics were found miraculously. He appeared to a woman in a dream. The saint's body turned out to be untouched by decay. Today it is located in the Church of the Apostle John. Near the tomb of the saint they pray for a variety of needs:

• about the return of lost items;

• for the debtor to return the money;

• about finding lost people.

The people firmly believed that a prayer service to John the warrior would help find what was stolen. It even happened that during the prayer service the thieves themselves confessed to what they had done - they were so afraid of the saint’s righteous anger. Many miracles happened through prayers at the holy relics, and the poet’s fame as a defender of the oppressed only increased.

Temples and icons of St. John the Warrior

There are churches in the name of St. John the Warrior in Russia - in Moscow, Krasnodar, Rostov. It is easy to recognize the icon of the martyr:

• the saint is depicted as dark-haired, with his head uncovered;

• can sit on a horse or stand at full height;

• dressed in military uniform with a raincoat thrown over his shoulder.

A martyr can hold a cross in his hands. This is a symbol of how faith was the motivating force in his life. The spear means the power that the Lord sends to the righteous so that they defeat unbelief and the enemies of Christ. The shield symbolizes the protection that saints gain through prayer. Although the martyr died at an old age, most icon painters depict him in the prime of his life. Church tradition says that after the resurrection people will appear before God in the same form as they had in their youth.

However, there is a rare icon that depicts St. John in the form of an old man. On it he appears in a headdress resembling a miter. He raised the cross of Christ high in front of him, as if showing that he had brought his whole life to the feet of Jesus. The image is located in the Kyiv Lavra, in one of the caves.

Oh, great champion of John the Militant! Do not forget us, sinners, praying to you and asking for your help and endless mercy, and grant us, sinners and unworthy servants, to receive from God the ineffable goodness that is prepared for those who love Him, as befits Him all glory, honor and worship, the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Prayers to John the Warrior will help protect you from an offender, return stolen property, and find lost property. The saint helps you calm down and make the right decision.

What is the power of prayer to John

Since the time of the persecution of the early followers of Jesus, Christianity has venerated saints who during their lifetime showed their true faith and devotion to the Lord. Most of the saints are great martyrs who accepted severe torment and suffering, but did not renounce their faith. She was so strong that the Lord himself helped them withstand unbearable suffering.

They became saints during their lifetime. After death, their souls flew to the Lord, and their bodies became incorruptible. Saints are those chosen by God on earth, an example of faith and perseverance. Prayers offered with all our hearts to the saints reach the Lord faster, since we ask the saint to convey our request to God. By praying to the Almighty and Holy One, a person has a greater chance that the Lord will hear.

In Rus', John the Warrior was and remains a revered and beloved saint, since it was believed that he would help everyone who turned to him. During his lifetime, he was a faithful defender of Christians, so prayer to the martyr John the Warrior helped people from various troubles and misfortunes.

Why does the prayer of St. John the Warrior help? Biography.

John lived in the 4th century and served as a warrior in the army of the Byzantine emperor Julian the apostate, nephew of Constantine the Great, through whose efforts the Roman Empire became a Christian state. Julian, who grew up among the followers of Jesus and was brought up in Christian traditions, upon coming to power, renounced his faith and became a pagan. Persecution of Christians began. They were tortured, thrown into prison and killed.

Saint John the Warrior experienced during his life not only physical torment, but also unbearable mental anguish. Being a true Christian, by the will of fate he participated in the persecution of the Orthodox. He remained devoted to the Lord and helped believers. He warned of danger, saved and sheltered the persecuted, supported those thrown into prison.

Having learned this, Emperor Julian ordered the warrior to be seized and taken to Constantinople, where he was thrown into prison and subjected to severe torture. Execution awaited him. The torture was so severe that he began to have thoughts of renouncing Christianity. He prayed, asking God to strengthen his faith. The Lord heard him. Julian was killed, and John remained to live and help people. He still supports them now by answering their prayers.

How do prayers to John help?

People turn to the help of John the Warrior for mental pain and grievances. The warriors whom he patronizes and their relatives resort to his protection before God. There is no need to ask Saint John to punish the one who caused the pain, but to pray for protection from him. With God's help, he will find how to protect the offended and protect him from injustice. To do this, read a prayer to John the warrior from the offender, which helps a lot.

Information about the saint came to Rus' from Byzantium. John the Warrior fell in love with the Orthodox because he was a Slav and quick to help. He protected from robbers and thieves. If a robbery was committed in the village, then a prayer service was required in the local church.

When a person lost something valuable, a prayer was read to John the Warrior for the lost thing, which was later found. They also pray to this saint for those who are in prison or captivity. Saint John helps these people to withstand all difficulties and find peace of mind.

What do prayers to St. John the Warrior protect from?

You need to turn to the saint not only when something has happened, but also when everything is calm. The prayer to Saint John the Warrior is said regularly, in this case it will be kept on the road, at work and on the street. Protect from ill-wishers, prevent controversial and dangerous situations.

Conversion can protect a person from illness, since the state of mind also affects a person’s health, and prayers to John the Warrior help to gain peace of mind and peace. By turning to the saint with a request for help to his loved ones and relatives, a person gains confidence that he will not leave them in trouble.

Saint John the Warrior himself has experienced so much mental and physical torment that he will definitely hear and come to the rescue. But do not forget that he expects the same actions from everyone who turns to him. Help the weak and offended, support those who find it difficult, treat others tolerantly, do not provoke trouble and be sure that your prayers to John the Warrior will be heard.

How to read prayers to John the Warrior

There are a number of prayers that are addressed to John the Warrior. They are, as they say, for all occasions in life. Choose the one that is acceptable to you, the one that is most on your heart. Before starting prayer, you need to concentrate and calm your soul. As always, before praying to the saint, they say “Our Father,” “To the Lord Jesus Christ,” and “Heavenly King.” After this, moving on to reading the prayer to John the warrior, do not forget to thank the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Great Martyr John.

I would like to quote a prayer that was inscribed on the icon of John the Warrior, located in the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. Don't let it bother you that it's short. It helps if you read it with your soul. The shortest appeal to the Lord Jesus Christ is the prayer of the publican; it contains only four words, but he heard and heeded it. It's not about the number of words, but about the mood with which it will be pronounced. Do not forget the words of the Lord that by faith you will receive.

Text of the prayer to John the Warrior

“Oh, great intercessor and saint of Christ, John the Warrior! Have mercy on your servant who is in troubles and sorrows, and in every evil adversity, and save him from all evil, intercede for the offended. You have been given such grace from God for this. Amen".

The prayer must be said calmly, delving into the meaning of each word; it is advisable to first go to church and order a prayer service to the holy martyr John the Warrior. This will increase the effect of the spoken petition.

Prayers said before turning to the saint will help you tune in to a special wave that can convey the words of your requests to the saint. As the Gospel says, you need to pray in a solitary place, in silence. It is best to do this in a church, where there is a special atmosphere.

Every person faces something similar: you urgently need something, but you can’t find it. And it seemed like it was here. What to do? There are many ways to remember and find. I didn’t write about one thing. Prayer helps. If you are Orthodox, then you rely on the help of the Saints and the Almighty. If you are an atheist, do not rush to smile skeptically. Prayers, sincere, from the heart, immerse you in a special meditative state. Tension and confusion go away, and the brain gains access to information. This could be a rational explanation for prayer's help in finding lost items, if you need it.

Important! Prayer is part of the spiritual life of a true believer, and not sorcery. A way to communicate with the Supreme. These sacred texts are many centuries old. Countless of our ancestors uttered them in times of need. As you read the prayer, feel a deep sense of trust and love.

“My son’s documents for the apartment have disappeared. He kept them with me because he was renting out his own. We needed them to make a tax refund on the purchase of an apartment, but they don’t exist. Everything was searched more than once. I came to work, went on the Internet, and found about St. John the Warrior. The whole day I turned to him almost in tears. In the evening my son came again. We had a snack and decided to look again. And they found it! In the closet, where it has been looked at many times, in a bag. Then I went to church and thanked him.”

“When my son was little, I lost a needle in the room, I was sewing something on the sofa. And she shook out the bedspread, and vacuumed the bolsters, and took the pillows out of the pillowcases. It is scary to leave an unfound needle in a room where a small child is. I just read the simplest prayer, to the Mother of God. Then I often turned to her when the child was sick. My grandmother taught me. Then I went into the room, caught my slipper on the carpet and the slipper flew towards the sofa so that it landed halfway under the sofa, I climbed after it, and there was a needle lying next to it.”

“I always look for all lost things with the prayer “Rejoice to the Virgin Mary!” I read or say a prayer mentally and calmly continue the search. At the same time, I listen to myself. If during the search I felt the urge to check a place where “this could never happen,” then I’ll definitely check it. The loss is located."

“A friend once couldn’t find her daughter’s certificate. I turned everything upside down in the house - he’s gone and that’s it! And it was needed in the coming days. Going over in her memory all the places where this important document could have fallen, she leafed through the magazine in heavy thought. Her gaze was drawn to a photograph of an icon unknown to her. Madonna and child. Not ours, not an Orthodox image. In desperation, the friend mentally prayed, turning to this photograph. In the evening the phone rang: my daughter’s classmate called. It turns out that she had a certificate. A year ago she somehow grabbed him with her documents, books when I dropped in to visit them. And today I unexpectedly came across it! My delighted friend tore the icon from the magazine and put it in a frame. After some time, her husband admits that he hid the money somewhere when he was drunk and couldn’t find it. They searched and turned everything upside down. To no avail. We’ve already said goodbye to the money - apparently we can’t find it... And then my friend remembered her wonderful assistant. He asks her to help. And he says: “I’m sitting, then it’s like an epiphany. I climbed into one closet, took out my husband’s fishing bag with gear, threw it away, pushed away various things without looking, I found a folded bag from the newspaper, I unwrapped it - there was money!!”

Prayer rule for a lost item

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Symbol of faith

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.
