Prayer 4th

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, St. Ephrem the Syrian

Prayer invocation to the Most Holy Theotokos, St. John of Kronstadt

Oh, Lady! Yes, not in vain and in vain do we call You the Mistress: reveal and manifest over us Your holy, living, active dominion. Reveal, for you can do everything for good, as the Mother of the all-good of the all-good King; disperse the darkness of our hearts, reflect the arrows of crafty spirits, flatteringly moved at us. May the peace of Thy Son, Thy peace reign in our hearts, may we all joyfully exclaim: who is after the Lord, like our Lady, our all-good, all-merciful and most swift Intercessor? For this you are exalted, Mistress, for that an abundance of indescribable divine grace has been given to you, for that inexpressible boldness and strength at the throne of God and the gift of almighty prayer have been given to you, for this you have been adorned with indescribable holiness and purity, for this you have been given unapplied power from the Lord, so that you can preserve, protect, intercede, purify and save us, the inheritance of your Son and God, and yours. Save us, O most pure, all-good, all-wise and all-merciful! You are the Mother of our Savior, Who of all names deigned to be called the Savior more than anyone else. It is natural for us, wandering in this life, to fall, for we are overlaid with many-passionate flesh, surrounded by spirits of malice in high places, seducing to sin, we live in an adulterous and sinful world, seducing to sin; and You are above all sin, You are the brightest Sun, You are the Most Pure, All-good and All-pleasing, It is Your nature to purify us, defiled by sins, as a mother cleanses her children, if we call on You humbly for help, You tend to raise us, who are constantly falling, to intercede to protect and save us, who are slandered by the spirits of evil, and to instruct us to walk towards every path of salvation.

Prayer to the Mother of God

What to pray to You, what to ask of You? You see everything, you know Itself: look into my soul and give her what she needs. You, who have endured everything, overcome everything, you will understand everything. You, who raised the Child in a manger and accepted Him with Your hands from the Cross, You alone know the whole height of joy, all the oppression of grief. You, who received the whole human race as an adoption, look at me with maternal care. Lead me from the shadows of sin to Your Son. I see a tear that irrigated Your face. It's over me You spilled it and let it wash away the traces of my sins. Here I have come, I am standing, I am waiting for Your response, O Mother of God, O All-Singing, O Mistress! I don't ask for anything, I just stand before You. Only my heart, a poor human heart, exhausted in anguish for truth, I cast down to Your Most Pure Feet, Lady! May all who call upon You reach the eternal day with You and bow down before You face to face.

With this prayer we glorify the Most Holy Theotokos.

Who are Cherubim and Seraphim?

Cherubim and Seraphim are the highest and closest angels to God. The Blessed Virgin Mary, as having given birth to God in the flesh, is incomparably higher than them.

God the Word is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Why is the Son of God called the Word?

The Son of God is called the Word (John 1:14) because, when He lived in the flesh on earth, He revealed, that is, showed us the invisible Father God, just as our word reveals or shows the thought that is in our soul.

Note:

This prayer:

“Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you; Blessed are you in women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, as if the Savior gave birth to our souls. “

Mother of God - who gave birth to God.

Rejoice is a common form of greeting common in the East.

Gracious - full of the grace of God; letters. blessed.

In wives - among women.

Like the Savior you gave birth - for you gave birth to the Savior.

The words rejoice, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women taken from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel, when he announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary about the birth of the Son of God from Her according to the flesh (Lk. 1, 28).

The words Blessed are you in women mean that the Most Holy Virgin Mary, as the Mother of God, is glorified more than all other women (Luke 1:42; Ps. 44:18).

The words blessed is the fruit of thy womb taken from the greeting of the righteous Elizabeth, when the Holy Virgin Mary, after the annunciation, wished to visit her (Luke 1:42).

fruit of the womb Hers is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Since you are here...

… we have a small request. More and more people are reading the Orthodoxy and the World portal, but there are very few funds for the editorial work. Unlike many media outlets, we do not offer paid subscriptions. We are convinced that it is impossible to preach Christ for money.

But. Pravmir - these are daily articles, its own news service, this is a weekly wall newspaper for churches, this is a lecture hall, own photos and video, these are editors, proofreaders, hosting and servers, these are FOUR publications Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru, Pravmir.com. So you can understand why we are asking for your help.

For example, is 50 rubles a month a lot or a little? A cup of coffee? Not much for a family budget. For Pravmir - a lot.

If everyone who reads Pravmir subscribes to 50 rubles. per month, it will make a huge contribution to the opportunity to spread the word about Christ, about Orthodoxy, about meaning and life, about family and society.

Angelic greeting to the Mother of God

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you, blessed are you in women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, as if the Savior gave birth to our souls.

Rejoice, Mother of God Virgin Mary, who received grace, the Lord is with you! Blessed are You among women, and blessed is the One born of Thee, because You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

- Mother of God (who gave birth to God); Gracious- filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit; blessed- glorified or worthy of glorification; in wives- between wives; the fruit of your womb- Jesus Christ, who was born of You; like- because, since; spasa- Savior.

This prayer is to the Most Holy Theotokos, whom we call grace-filled, that is, full of the grace of the Holy Spirit, and blessed of all women, because our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was pleased, or wished, to be born from Her.

This prayer is also called an angelic greeting, since it contains the words of an angel (Archangel Gabriel): Rejoice, blessed Mary, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women, which he said to the Virgin Mary when he appeared to Her in the city of Nazareth, to announce to Her great joy that the Savior of the World would be born from Her. Also - Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, said the Virgin Mary, at a meeting with Her, and the righteous Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist.

The Virgin Mary is called because Jesus Christ, who was born of Her, is our true God.

It is called because She was a Virgin before the birth of Christ, and at Christmas and after Christmas she remained the same, since she made a vow (promise) to God not to marry, and remaining forever a Virgin, she gave birth to Her Son from the Holy Spirit in a miraculous way.

QUESTIONS: To whom do we pray when we say the prayer: Virgin Mother of God rejoice? What do we call the Virgin Mary in this prayer? What do these words mean: grace-filled and blessed art thou among women? How to explain the words: how the Savior gave birth to our souls? Why is this prayer called an angelic greeting?

Psalm 90 “Living Helps”

Or the praise of the song of David,

Not inscribed with a Jew, 90

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of Heaven will settle.

The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

Yako Toy will deliver you from the network of hunters, and from the word rebellious,

His splashing will overshadow you, and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon.

Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying into the days,

from a thing in the darkness passing, from a scum, and a midday demon.

A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness at your right hand, but it will not come close to you:

Look at both your eyes, and see the reward of sinners.

As you, O Lord, are my hope, the Most High have laid down your refuge.

Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body:

as if by His Angel a command about you, keep you in all your ways.

They will take you in their hands, but once you stomp your foot on a stone:

step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver:

I will cover and, as if I knew my name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow,

I will crush him and glorify him; I will fulfill him with length of days,

and I will show him my salvation.

They read from the devil when he appears to a person or frightens him.

Let demonic insurances in a dream, or temptation during the day, cease.

Protect me, Lord, with the power of Your Honorable and Life-Giving Cross,

and keep me from all evil.

A detailed description from several sources: "a strong prayer to the short mother of God" - in our non-profit weekly religious magazine.

Prayers for protection to the Blessed Virgin Mary

If the prayer of the righteous can do much, then the prayer of the Most Holy Theotokos is all the more powerful.

Even during Her earthly life, She found grace from the Lord and turned to Him with intercession for those who asked for Her help and intercession.

The Most Holy Mother of God was honored with special grace and closeness to the Throne of God after Her Dormition. She moved to Heaven not only in order to abide in the radiance and majesty of the Divine Glory of Her Son, but also in order to intercede for us with Her prayers before Him. “Rejoice! I am with you all the days,” she said, appearing to the holy apostles.

The Blessed Virgin, living on earth, herself experienced the same hardships, need, troubles and misfortunes that we also experience. She experienced the sorrow of the suffering on the cross and the death of her Son. She knows our infirmities, needs and sorrows. Each of our sins causes Her suffering, and at the same time, each of our troubles finds Her sympathy. What mother does not care for her children and is not heartbroken by their misfortunes? What mother leaves them without her help and attention? The Mother of God is always ready to give us timely help.

The Mother of God shines like the sun and warms us with the rays of Her love and enlivens our souls with the grace given to Her by God. By Her Spirit She always abides on earth. When Blessed Andrew the Fool-for-Christ, like the Apostle Paul, was caught up by the spirit into the heavenly abodes and saw the Lord there, he began to mourn, not seeing the Most Pure Theotokos. But the Angel told him that She had gone into the world to help people.

We are all burdened with sorrows, life's adversities, illnesses and misfortunes, for we all sin. The Word of God says that there is no person who has lived on earth and has not sinned. But God is the highest Love, and out of love for His Mother and for us, He accepts Her prayers. We believe in Her constant intercession and intercession for us sinners before the Merciful and Humanitarian God and in the power of Her prayers. Let us resort to Her as to a quiet and kind refuge and diligently call on Her all-holy and all-singing name. And She will not leave us with the unexpected joy of salvation.

Ideally, this prayer is better to be said before the icon “Seven Arrows” (Softener of Evil Hearts), but any other image of the Most Holy Theotokos will do.

"Sooth our evil heart, Mother of God,

and quench those who hate us

and all the narrowness of our souls, let go.

Looking at Your holy image,

We are touched by your suffering and mercy for us

and we kiss your wounds,

but our arrows, tormenting you, we are horrified.

Do not give us, Mother of Mercy,

perish in our hardness of heart and from the hardness of our neighbors.

You are truly evil hearts softening.

“O Most Holy Lady Lady Mother of God!

Raise us up, servant of God (names) from the depths of sin

and deliver us from sudden death and from all evil.

Grant, Madam, peace and health to us

and enlighten our mind and eyes of the heart, hedgehog to salvation,

and grant us, Thy sinful servants,

Kingdom of your Son, Christ our God:

“Under your mercy we resort, Virgin Mary:

do not look down on our prayers in sorrow, but deliver us from troubles,

One Pure and Blessed.

“O long-suffering Mother of God, Exalted all the daughters of the earth,

according to His purity and according to the multitude of sufferings,

You transferred to the lands,

accept our painful sighs

and keep us under the shelter of Your mercy.

For a different refuge and warm intercession, don’t you know,

but, as if having boldness to the One born from Thee,

help and save us with your prayers,

may we reach the Kingdom of Heaven without fail,

where with all the saints we will sing in the Trinity to the one God, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen".

“O Most Holy and Blessed Lady Theotokos,

accept these prayers of the heart,

with great hope and faith in Your immeasurable mercy, ascended,

have mercy, intercede, save and protect me, the servant (slave) of God (his)

from all evil and give me Your help (indicate the request).

Zealous intercessor, deliver me through this prayers,

uplifted to Thee with all my heart and soul,

from all witchcraft harm, the temptations of the world,

from sinful lusts, from the wiles of the devil

and from the attack of enemies visible and invisible ..

And cover with Your Honest Prayer Veil from all evil. Amen"

save and have mercy on us, your sinful servants (name),

from vain slander and from all sorts of troubles, misfortunes and sudden deaths,

have mercy in the daytime hours, morning and evening,

and keep us all the time - standing, sitting,

walking on every path, sleeping in the hours of the night,

supply, intercede and cover, protect.

Lady Mother of God, from all enemies visible and invisible,

from every evil situation,

in any place and at any time, be to us Mati, the blessed invincible wall,

and a strong intercession always,

and now, and forever, and forever and ever. Amen".

There is a short prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, which we should say as often as possible.

“Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you;

Blessed are You in women, and blessed is the fruit of Your womb,

like the Savior gave birth to our souls"

These words are taken from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel, when he announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary about the birth of the Son of God from Her according to the flesh (Luke 1:28).

Prayer Appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos of St. John of Kronstadt

O Lady! Yes, not in vain and in vain do we call You the Mistress: reveal and manifest over us Your holy, living, active dominion. Reveal, for you can do everything for good, as the Mother of the all-good of the all-good King; disperse the darkness of our hearts, reflect the arrows of crafty spirits, flatteringly moved at us. May the peace of Thy Son, Thy peace reign in our hearts, may we all joyfully exclaim: who is after the Lord, like our Lady, our all-good, all-merciful and most swift Intercessor? For this you are exalted, Mistress, for that an abundance of indescribable divine grace has been given to you, for that inexpressible boldness and strength at the throne of God and the gift of almighty prayer have been given to you, for this you have been adorned with indescribable holiness and purity, for this you have been given unapplied power from the Lord, so that you can preserve, protect, intercede, purify and save us, the inheritance of your Son and God, and yours. Save us, O most pure, all-good, all-wise and all-merciful! You are the Mother of our Savior, Who of all names deigned to be called the Savior more than anyone else. It is natural for us, wandering in this life, to fall, for we are overlaid with many-passionate flesh, surrounded by spirits of malice in high places, seducing to sin, we live in an adulterous and sinful world, seducing to sin; and You are above all sin, You are the brightest Sun, You are the Most Pure, All-good and All-pleasing, It is Your nature to purify us, defiled by sins, as a mother cleanses her children, if we call on You humbly for help, You tend to raise us, who are constantly falling, to intercede to protect and save us, who are slandered by the spirits of evil, and to instruct us to walk towards every path of salvation.

Prayer to the Mother of God for children

O Most Holy 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 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 You are the Divine Protection of Your servants.

And as often as possible, on any day and hour, you need to say a short prayerful invocation of the Most Holy Theotokos.

Brief Prayer Invocation

Holy Mother of God, save us!

And if it is especially difficult for you, and immediate help is needed, the fulfillment of the Theotokos rule will help, which, according to legend, the Mother of God herself gave people from Heaven back in the 8th century. But after that, for some time, it turned out to be forgotten, and Seraphim of Sarov reminded of it, who himself fulfilled this rule, and blessed his spiritual children in the Diveevo monastery to do the same.

The benefits of following this rule are enormous! Even in hopeless situations thanks to him there is a way out. Unexpected help comes from where you do not expect it. We are beginning to receive patronage from the most different people, and ill-wishers, even without our efforts, are put to shame and simply disappear from our lives.

It is not so easy to fulfill the Theotokos rule - but each of us can decide for himself whether the efforts spent are worth the great help and grace that descends upon us in the end.

Mother of God Rule

Actually, the Theotokos rule is to read the “Song of the Most Holy Theotokos” 150 times:

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you; Blessed are You in women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, as if the Savior gave birth to our souls.

But it is necessary to read like this, not continuously 150 times in a row, and after each ten add other prayers, special for each ten. Thus, we divide the reading of the prayer into fifteen tens, corresponding to the fifteen main events in the life of the Virgin. And when reading each ten, one must remember exactly the corresponding event.

Reading the first ten, we remember the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After the first ten, we pray for parents, children and relatives, and read the prayer:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, save and save Thy servants (names of parents and relatives), and rest those who died with the saints in Thy eternal glory.

Reading second ten, we recall the Entry into the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Then we pray for the lost and those who have fallen away from the faith:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, save and save and unite (or join) to the holy Orthodox Church your lost and fallen servants (names).

Reading third decade, we remember the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After that, we pray for the assuagement of sorrows, the consolation of the mourners and the healing of the sick:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, quench our sorrows and send consolation to the grieving and sick of Your servants (names).

Reading fourth decade, we recall the Meeting of the Most Holy Theotokos with the righteous Elizabeth. After reading, we pray for the union of the separated, and that everyone who is absent, who left the house or disappeared without a trace, will return safely:

O Most Holy Lady of the Theotokos, unite in separation Thy servants (names).

Reading fifth decade, we remember the Nativity of Christ, we pray for the salvation of the soul - our own and loved ones, for a new one, a better life with God in the soul:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, grant me, who was baptized into Christ, put on Christ.

Reading sixth decade, we recall the Meeting of the Lord, then we pray that at the hour of our death, the Mother of God herself would meet the soul, free from ordeals and make it worthwhile with her last breath to partake of the Holy Mysteries:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, vouchsafe me with my last breath to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, and lead my soul through the terrible ordeals yourself.

Reading seventh decade, we recall the flight to Egypt of the Holy Family - Joseph and Mary with the baby Christ, and then we pray that the Queen of Heaven will help us avoid temptations and save us from misfortunes:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, do not lead me into temptation in this life and deliver me from all misfortunes.

Reading eighth decade, we remember how the Mother of God was looking for the twelve-year-old boy Jesus in Jerusalem. Then we pray that Mother will help us to seek and find Christ in our lives, and pray to Him:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, Most Pure Virgin Mary, grant me the unceasing Jesus Prayer.

Reading ninth decade, we recall the miracle created by Christ in Cana of Galilee, when the Lord turned water into wine. Then we pray, asking the Mother of God for help in business and deliverance from need:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, help me in all my affairs and deliver me from all needs and sorrows.

Reading tenth dozen, we remember how the Mother of God grieved at the Cross of the Lord. Then we pray that She will help us in sorrow and despondency:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, Blessed Virgin Mary, strengthen my spiritual strength and drive away despondency from me.

Reading eleventh decade, we remember the Resurrection of Christ, then we pray that She will help us to resurrect our souls and instill in us a readiness for spiritual achievement:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, resurrect my soul and grant me constant readiness for a feat.

Reading twelfth decade, we remember the Ascension of Christ, and then we pray that the Queen of Heaven will help us to lift the soul, to direct our thoughts towards the aspiration to the higher, spiritual:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, deliver me from vain thoughts and grant me a mind and a heart striving for the salvation of the soul.

Reading thirteenth decade, we recall the Zion Upper Room, where the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and the Mother of God, and then we pray for the grace of the Holy Spirit to be sent down to us:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, send down and strengthen the grace of the Holy Spirit in my heart.

Reading fourteenth decade, we recall the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos, then we pray that, when our hour comes, God will send us a peaceful and serene death:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, grant me a peaceful and serene end.

Reading fifteenth decade, we think about the glory of the Mother of God, with which the Lord crowned Her after she ascended from Earth to Heaven, and then we pray that the Queen of Heaven would not leave us living on Earth and protect us from all evil:

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, save me from all evil and cover me with Your honest omophorion.

Prayer invocation to the Most Holy Theotokos, St. John of Kronstadt

Oh, Lady! Yes, not in vain and in vain do we call You the Mistress: reveal and manifest over us Your holy, living, active dominion. Reveal, for you can do everything for good, as the Mother of the all-good of the all-good King; disperse the darkness of our hearts, reflect the arrows of crafty spirits, flatteringly moved at us.

Prayer to the Mother of God

What to pray to You, what to ask of You? You see everything, you know Itself: look into my soul and give her what she needs. You, who have endured everything, overcome everything, you will understand everything. You, who raised the Child in a manger and accepted Him with Your hands from the Cross, You alone know the whole height of joy, all the oppression of grief. You, who received the whole human race as an adoption, look at me with maternal care. Lead me from the shadows of sin to Your Son. I see a tear that irrigated Your face. It's over me You spilled it and let it wash away the traces of my sins. Here I have come, I am standing, I am waiting for Your response, O Mother of God, O All-Singing, O Mistress! I don't ask for anything, I just stand before You. Only my heart, a poor human heart, exhausted in anguish for truth, I cast down to Your Most Pure Feet, Lady! May all who call upon You reach the eternal day with You and bow down before You face to face.

MOTHER OF GOD RULE

“Our Lady of the Virgin…” is read 150 times daily:
Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you; Blessed are you in women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, as if the Savior gave birth to our souls.

If, out of habit, it will be difficult to overcome 150 times daily, you should read 50 times at first. After each ten, one should read "Our Father" and "Mercy Door" once:

Our Father, Who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Give us our daily bread today; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Open the doors of mercy to us, blessed Mother of God, who hope in Thee, let us not perish, but let us be delivered from troubles by Thee: Thou art the salvation of the Christian race.

Below is a diagram in which Vladyka Seraphim (Zvezdinsky) put his prayers to Ever-Virgin Mary. Fulfilling the rule of the Theotokos, he prayed for the whole world and embraced this rule throughout the life of the Queen of Heaven.

After each ten, additional prayers are read, such as those listed below:

Fourth ten. We remember the Meeting of the Most Holy Theotokos with the Righteous Elizabeth. We pray for the reunification of the separated, who have loved ones or children who are separated or are missing.

Fifth decade. We remember the Nativity of Christ, we pray for the rebirth of souls, for a new life in Christ.

Oh, Most Holy Lady Theotokos, grant me, who was baptized into Christ, put on Christ.

Sixth ten.

Among the many Orthodox prayers and appeals to God and His saints, the invocation of the Most Holy Mother of God is probably the most popular. The Queen of Heaven is indeed a very great heavenly intercessor and patroness of every person who calls on Her with sincere faith. Among the many texts glorifying the Mother of God, the most famous is the Song of the Mother of God or the prayer “O Virgin Mary, Rejoice.”

The meaning of the prayer "Virgin Mary, rejoice"

The Song of the Most Holy Theotokos is one of the most common prayers, which consists of laudatory and welcoming phrases, which are taken from. So, the appeal “Blessed Mary, rejoice, the Lord is with you” was uttered by the Archangel Gabriel when the Virgin was notified about the future birth of Jesus Christ.

Icon of the Mother of God

The words about the blessed wife and the blessed fruit of the womb were uttered by the righteous Elizabeth, to whom the Mother of God came after she had learned about the future birth of the Son.

Also, this text clearly indicates the fact that the Mother of God is the most glorified among any other women who have ever lived on Earth. Despite the fact that by nature Mary was an ordinary person, sanctified by God's grace, she was awarded such a crown of holiness, which no other person was awarded after her. The birth of Jesus Christ sanctified not only the soul of the Ever-Virgin, but also Her flesh. This is evidenced by such words from the prayer as "blessed are you in women" and "graceful."

Important! Since the very meaning of the prayer is laudatory and joyful, the reading of these sacred words can help a person cope with many difficulties, calm down and feel the joy of communion with God. Glorifying the Mother of God, a person, as it were, expresses his readiness and desire to become involved in that Heavenly joy, which he can comprehend only through the knowledge of God. And there is no greater helper and intercessor on this path than the Virgin Mary.

Also important are last words prayers "as if the Savior gave birth to our souls." These words emphasize the meaning of Mary's earthly ministry - the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who redeemed the sins of all mankind with His Blood. The essence of Christ's sacrifice was, first of all, precisely in the salvation of the human soul - many people forget about this today. People come to God with a variety of requests and worldly needs, but at the same time they very rarely ask for spiritual gifts. It is important not to forget that not a single prayer will be heard if a person does not see spiritual rebirth as the ultimate goal of his life.

When can I read the prayer “O Virgin Mary, rejoice”

As for church services, this text, addressed to the Ever-Virgin Mary, is read almost more often than any other. It is with these words that the evening service ends, after which the morning service begins, at which the birth of Christ is glorified. Along with the Our Father, the Song of the Mother of God is sung three times at the morning service.

Virgin and Child

As for non-church use, you can read a hymn of praise to the Mother of God in such cases:

  • for the blessing of food;
  • to leave the house;
  • on the road;
  • when attacked by evil forces;
  • in any grief, despondency, sadness.

It should be said that there are no obstacles to turning to the Mother of God in certain life circumstances. You can call on Her for help at any time, if a person feels the need and desire for spiritual support. The only thing that should always be remembered is that you can only pray for charitable and non-sinful things. If a person, through prayer, wants to harm his enemies, get dishonest profits, circumvent the law, or do something else impartial, he takes a big sin on his soul, for which he will definitely answer before God.

Important: Arriving at the temple, you can find any image of the Virgin Mary, and read the text, standing in front of it.

If there is a special Mother of God in a person’s family, you can look for just such a one in the temple. But do not be upset if the church does not have the desired image - you can quite easily opt for any of those that are available.

About prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos:

In addition, after reading the canonical text of the song of praise, you can turn to the Queen of Heaven in your own words and express a petition or appeal. Thus, a person will avoid formal reading of texts, and communication with God and His Mother will be personal, coming from the depths of the soul.

Since the prayer “Virgin Mary, Rejoice” is very short, it is convenient to read it almost anywhere: on the road, while driving, before starting work, before eating. If for some reason a person does not have time to read his usual prayer rule, you can always read this short text several times, as well as the Our Father. Even such a short appeal to God will be accepted and a person will receive consolation if he turns with all his heart and with a desire to repent and change his life for the better.

Prayer "Virgin Mary, rejoice"

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Gracious Mary, the Lord is with you: blessed are you in women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, as if you gave birth to our souls as the Savior.
