Prayer O Most Holy Lady, Virgin Theotokos, higher than the Cherubim and more honorable than the Seraphim, God-chosen Maiden! Look down from the heights of heaven with Thy merciful eye upon us, Thy unworthy servants, who pray with tenderness and tears before Thy most pure image; do not deprive us of Thy intercession and Sovereign protection in this earthly wandering, much-sorrowful and much-tormented. Save us who are in perdition and sorrow, raise us up from the depths of sin, enlighten our minds, darkened by passions, and heal the wounds of our souls and bodies! O All-Generous Mother of the Man-Loving Master! Surprise us with Your rich mercy, strengthen our weak will to do the commandments of Christ, soften our hardened hearts with love for God and our neighbors, grant We have heartfelt contrition and true repentance, so that, having been cleansed from the filth of sin, we may be granted a peaceful Christian death and a good answer at the Terrible and impartial Judgment of the Lord our Jesus To Christ, with His Eternal Father and the Most Holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit, belongs all glory, honor and worship, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen. And whatever you ask in prayer with faith, you will receive. ☦️Please support the channel "Prayers to the Saints" with a donation that you can afford: 2202 2063 3293 2800 With different payment methods: ✅ https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dona... Never leave prayer, and the Lord will not leave you. Through prayer we acknowledge our weakness and the power of God. By prayer we elevate the Lord to His rightful place, and belittle man. People who do not know prayer violate the true order, they exalt themselves and humiliate God. This is characteristic of prayerless people. A short conversation with them is enough to see at what height they hold themselves and in what humiliation God. Where there is no prayer, pride reigns. Pride is like an inflated balloon that bursts at the touch of a needle. At the slightest prick, pride turns into despair. A reasonable person is always meek, and the meek acquire reason precisely in meekness. When a humble person seeks help from people, in fact he seeks it from God. And when he turns to a doctor, he prays to God for help, for he knows that the Lord helps indirectly or directly; either immediately, without the help of people and objects, or with the help of people and objects.
