Prayer for the end of the war. War Bible: Prayer During, Against, and to End War Prayer to End War

Many older people in my childhood often said "If only there was no war". My grandfather remembered her, how the Germans came to our city, what they did. I began to understand the truth of their words only when the war really came to Ukraine. And although the government of Ukraine calls it the ATO, and the neighboring state does not recognize the presence of its troops in Ukraine at all. This is a real war. Vile, dishonest. Although what is generally honest can be sought in a war where civilians are dying.

War always brings a lot of pain and suffering.

How to react?
How to pray?

I'll be honest - when I realized the complexity of the situation, I was depressed. But only at the beginning.

Jesus was not afraid of war. He told how to act

1. Jesus warned about war. Bible about war.

The Lord Jesus, before leaving the Earth, warned that there would be wars and war rumors. But He also commanded how to act.

Matthew 24:6 Also hear about wars and about military rumors. Look, do not be horrified, for all this must be, but this is not the end.

There have always been wars. No matter how humanity develops, sin lives inside a person. And rulers, kings will always want to prove their superiority to others, expand their territory, leave their name in history. Pride, vanity lives in that heart which is not under the dominion of God.

Therefore, wars have been from the creation of the world. The twentieth century is officially recognized as the bloodiest century in the entire history of mankind., and this despite the fact that this century has reached the pinnacle of scientific, technological and philosophical achievements.

And before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, He Himself said that there would be wars and war rumors.

2. Prayer during the war! We must pray with the authority given to the church!

The Church has been given authority on earth. Because The Church is the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ(Ephesians 1:23), then it is filled with His authority and power. After all, Jesus was resurrected and defeated death, the devil and all evil on earth.

And this power manifests itself in the spiritual and physical world. It is no secret that there is a physical world that we see, and there is a spiritual world that we do not see with our own eyes.

The Church is all children of God those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. These are not domes, not temples and not buildings. Because God lives in the hearts of people, not in man-made buildings (Acts 17:24)

John 1:12 And to those who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the power to become children of God,

Being a child of God is a position of authority:

Matt.18:18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Look closely at this Scripture. Only what will be allowed by the church will happen on earth. And nothing will happen that the Church does not allow, applying the authority of Jesus Christ on earth.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer opposed the whole system of Nazi Germany

That is why the church in Germany lost when it recognized Adolf Hitler and his plans for world domination. There were only some priests (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Niemöller, Wilhelm Busch for example, who founded the Confessing Church) who opposed. For this, many of them were executed.

Here is what Bonhoeffer said:

I have to go through this difficult period of our national history together with the Christians in Germany. I will not have the right to participate in the revival of Christian life after the war, unless I share with my people the trials of this time.

God will ask a specific church in each country.

From the Church of Ukraine - for the situation in Ukraine.
From the church in Russia - for the situation in Russia.
From the Church of Germany - for the situation in Germany.

We need to pray and bind the evil that happens, and allow the good that is pleasing to God. This pleases God according to Matthew 18:18.

Ministry of the Prophet Jeremiah

At the very beginning of the ministry of the prophet Jeremiah, God told him:

Jer.1:10 Look, I have set you this day over nations and kingdoms, to uproot and destroy, to destroy and destroy, to build and plant.

How to uproot and ruin, ruin and destroy?
How to build and plant?

Word of prayer! What the Church says, what every son and daughter of God proclaims, that will happen!

That's what it is
prayer for an end to the war!

This removes the position of the victim. Each of us who knows God, who walks before God and loves Him, is responsible for the situation in the country.

3. Create judgment and truth

It is necessary not only to pray, but also to act.

Get started right now

1 John 3:18 My children! let us not love in word or tongue, but in deed and in truth.

God wants us to show love not only with words - but with concrete deeds.

Ezekiel 45:9 “This is what the Lord God says: Enough for you, princes of Israel! lay aside resentment and oppression and do judgment and justice.”

At that time, Israel was enslaved by Babylon. At this time, he was not only attacked, but most of the Jews were in Babylonian captivity. And still the Lord says to do justice and justice. Regardless of any actions of the country that fought against Israel.

God is very pleased when we act and do justice and judgment. A lot depends on us, in fact. If we do not agree with evil in our workplace, in our city and surroundings, but do good, this is pleasing to God!

To create judgment is to call evil evil, and to suppress any evil

To do right is to do good before God.

Note that to do justice and the truth always go side by side. It is when we stop evil and do good that this is what pleases God. Not one-sided, without curbs and extremes. Otherwise, you can chop with a sword, creating only judgment, or be an unctuous little man who kisses everyone and does good deeds.

God's Word makes it clear that in times of war we must pray and act

4. Remember what the Lord said to the Church for all time.

You need to constantly remind yourself of the fundamental things

The Lord is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

And all the kings, all the presidents - they all got their power from God. Their time is limited, and for their period of power they will give an account to God. But also you and I will give an account to God.

At the same time, when we personally have a difficult time, the “valley of the shadow of death” in biblical language - the Lord comforts us. We already

The enemy is not people, but an evil spirit that works through them.

Eph 6:12: "Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spirits of wickedness in high places."

You can’t pray when you are offended (more on victory over resentment).

Always forgive and let go of any anger

Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive people their trespasses, your Father will not forgive you your trespasses.

And keep on praying

The Lord Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth

Matthew 28:18 And coming close, Jesus said to them: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

What we say has a huge weight. In fact, our words materialize over time. After all our words are our faith.

The end of history is the victory of God.

How often do we forget how it all ends. But the whole book of Revelation is about this.

Rev. 19:20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet, who worked miracles before him, with which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image: both were thrown alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone;

The devil has already been defeated. All the evil that is now happening on earth will end! Victory for God!

Conclusion. The Bible speaks clearly and distinctly about war.

War is part of Satan's global domination of the earth. His goal is to destroy every human being.

But with the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, we, the Church of Christ, the children of God, are not only overcomers. But we are the ones who influence the development of history.

Heb10:35 Therefore, do not leave your hope, which has a great reward.

If we do not leave our hope in God, if we say what the Lord says in His Word - this hope will have a great reward!

And may the Lord help you to be strengthened and rooted in His Word so strongly that in any situation only the strong and anointed Word of God comes out of your mouth!

... There can be nothing more important for us today than the ongoing fratricide that is blazing on the territory of Ukraine, taking away more and more lives ... The results of the bloody conflict are horrifying. No longer a hundred, as it was in winter in Kyiv, but many, many hundreds of dead, thousands of wounded and left homeless ...

There can be no winners in internecine strife, there can be no political conquests that would be more precious than people's lives...

I call on all the children of the Russian Orthodox Church to fervent prayer, to the intense preservation of the beginning of the fast of the Holy Apostles. A special appeal is to monastic cloisters: now pray to the Lord, as our pious ancestors knew how to pray in terrible times of upheaval; how, during times of internecine strife, the ascetics of Russian monasticism begged the Heavenly Father for its termination Saints Anthony and Theodosius of the Kiev Caves how the mediator of the Russian lands prayed for an end to the hated strife of this world St. Sergius of Radonezh how they cried out to the Lord in the days of bloody chaos and civil war Saint Tikhon, Patriarch of All Russia, and Hieromartyr Vladimir, Metropolitan of Kyiv.

In all the temples of our Church, let a special prayer for peace and the overcoming of internecine strife now be tirelessly performed ...

"And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you in all its fullness, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved intact without blemish" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Listen in full:

Prayer for an end to internecine strife in Ukraine

(read with the blessing of His Holiness the Patriarch)

Lord Jesus Christ our God, look with Your merciful eye on the sorrow and the painful cry of Your children, living in the land of Ukrainians.

Deliver Your people from internecine strife, quench the bloodshed, avert the underlying troubles. Bring the homeless into homes, nourish the hungry, weeping consolations, divided communities.

Do not leave Your flock, from your relatives in the bitterness of those who exist, to decrease, but as soon as possible, grant reconciliation generously. Soften hardened hearts and turn to Your knowledge. Give peace to Thy Church and to her faithful children, and with one heart and one mouth let us glorify Thee, our Lord and Savior forever and ever.

Amen.

On July 9, 2016, the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry blessed for the time of the All-Ukrainian Cross Procession of Peace, Love and Prayer for Ukraine to read a special prayer rule.

Address of His Beatitude Onufry on the occasion of the All-Ukrainian Cross Procession

Honorable archpastors and pastors, honest monasticism, dear brothers and sisters! In the life of every Christian, there are moments when he must remember that he is not just a believer, but a part of the Orthodox Church - the Body of Christ. And the fate of the Church and the country depends on each of us.

The centuries-old history of our land has many tragic pages ... And in the most difficult times, people united in joint prayer to God and the Most Holy Theotokos with requests for help. And we know how many times, when it seemed that all hope for salvation had died, the Mother of God protected our cities and villages from death.

The power of prayer of our compatriots has saved both our Church and our land many times. Now such a prayer is needed from us… Therefore, with Our blessing, the dioceses of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will hold an All-Ukrainian religious procession with a prayer for Ukraine, which will begin on July 9 in the West of Ukraine - from the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra, and on July 3 in the East of Ukraine - from the Holy - Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra. On July 27, on the eve of the celebration of the day of the Baptism of Kievan Rus and the memory of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, these processions will meet in Kyiv on Vladimirskaya Gorka and together they will go to the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, where solemn services will be performed. Processions will be accompanied by the miraculous icons of the Mother of God - "Pochaev" and "Svyatogorsk" and other revered shrines. This procession, which will simultaneously begin from the West and the East, will pass throughout our state ...

The procession is not just our spiritual feat. This is a conscious, volitional action of every Christian soul, in fact following the gospel commandments. Therefore, a simple contemplation of the procession is not enough. This is the time to show your Christian conscience. Who can walk in the procession for a long time - let him go. Who can move only in his locality - let him do it. It can feed the pilgrims - all this is also your participation in the common great cause ...

We believe that the Mother of God, Who so many times defended our land, is still standing in tears at the Throne of the Son and praying for us. And we must, casting aside anger, hatred, malice, and armed with love and forgiveness, intensify our feat of prayer: so that motherly tears stop flowing, so that children do not remain orphans, women become widows, so that young people do not become disabled, so that our cities and villages do not were destroyed and the houses abandoned. This is the purpose of the All-Ukrainian Cross Procession - the procession of peace, love and prayer for Ukraine.

I call on all participants of the procession of God's blessing and wish you all-powerful help in this charitable cause!

For you are our peace and we send glory to you, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever.

Soften our evil hearts, Mother of God, and quench the misfortunes of those who hate us, and resolve all the narrowness of our soul.

We beseech you, passion-bearers of Christ, ask the Greatly Gifted Lord for all of us to forgive our sins, unanimity and health, deliverance from the invasion of foreigners, internecine strife, ulcers and famine. Supply your intercession (listed: country, city) and all who honor your holy memory, forever and ever.

Amen.

Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian for the return of peaceful times

(from the Works of St. Ephraim the Syrian, Volume 2)

Where do I run from You, our Lord? In what country will I hide from Your presence? Heaven is Your Throne, earth is Your footstool, in the sea is Your way, in the afterlife is Your dominion. If the end of the world is already near, then it will not be without Thy bounty.

You know, Lord, that our iniquities are great. And we know that Your mercies are great. If Your mercies do not propitiate You, we perish for our iniquities. Do not leave us, Lord, Lord, because we have tasted Your Flesh and Blood.

When the deeds of everyone are tested before You, Lord of all, in this last time, Lord, do not turn Your face away from those who confess Your holy name. Father, Son and Soul, Holy Comforter! Save us and save our souls!

We implore Your goodness, Lord, forgive us our guilt, despise our iniquities, open the door of Your bounties to us, Lord! May times of peace come to us, and according to Your mercies, graciously accept our prayer, because for those who repent, Lord, You open the door.

Prayer for an end to wars

Lord Almighty, Holy King.

Look from heaven and see how peoples are at enmity and plot vain and evil things against each other, how everyone shudders at the memory of the former horrors of the military and tremble at the expectation of new, even more terrible ones being prepared.

Oh, Many Mercy! Have mercy on your creatures.

Forgive our sins and iniquities, even for the sake of many sorrows, misfortunes and fears that have come upon us. By the grace of the Most Holy Spirit, water the love of the human heart, dried up with the love of the human heart, with thorns of self-love, hatred and envy, malice, enmity and slyness and other iniquities overgrown, may they increase the burning love for You and the brethren, and with it all strife, strife, divisions, civil strife and wars, but all peoples do not speak with one mouth about peace, but having loved it with all their hearts, they unfeigningly forge their swords and spears into tools of peaceful deeds and turn to only peaceful labor.

Humane and Merciful! We earnestly pray to Thee: grant peace to Thy world, to Thy Churches, to Orthodox people and to all Thy creations. Thou art the King of peace and Thy peace, there is no limit, and to Thee be glory and thanksgiving and worship from all, and now and forever and to the end of the age of ages. Amen.

To the Lord Almighty about peace and the cessation of internecine hostility, that on the Sunday of all the saints who shone in our land.

Lord Almighty, Lord, many-merciful, accept our kneeling prayers and our humble tears, offered before Your Holy Altar at this time of troubles and sorrows of Your people, accept the intercession of all our holy relatives, whom we now call for help and intercession, so that the light of Your love, manifested on Your Cross, enlightened every person suffering in this world, in the darkness of enmity and lawlessness. Accept the intercession of the holy and faithful Prince Vladimir, the baptist and enlightener of our land; accept the prayer of the martyrs Saints Boris and Gleb, who teach you not to raise your hand against your brother; accept the intercession of your saints Anthony and Theodosius and with them all the reverend men and women, who whitened their souls with tears of repentance more than snow; accept the exploits of the New Martyrs and Confessors, who through their suffering have preserved our saving faith in You; accept the petitions of all the saints of Your Church, who have sanctified our land with their labors. Most of all, accept the prayerful Protection of Your Most Holy Mother, Our Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, by Her shameless intercession, Your people have many times been delivered from all enmity and internecine strife. Hear us, O God, our Savior, and be merciful, merciful be the Master to all those who suffer and are burdened, and forgive us our debts, teaching us to leave insults to our debtors, and bow Your wrath to Your mercy, pacifying all sorts of sedition and disorder in our power for you are the only good and philanthropic our God, and to you we send glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever.

Prayer for an end to internecine strife in Ukraine

Dear brothers and sisters,

On June 17, 2014, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia appealed to all the children of the Russian Orthodox Church with a call to begin an intensified prayer for Ukraine, backed up by strict observance of the Petrovsky fast.

Appeal of Patriarch Kirill to the Church

There can be no winners in internecine strife, there can be no political conquests that would be more precious than people's lives...

In all the temples of our Church, let a special prayer for peace and the overcoming of internecine strife now be tirelessly performed ...

"And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you in all its fullness, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved intact without blemish" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Below are a few more prayers created by the Holy Church to help those who pray for the sending of peace:

Prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ

To Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos

(troparion to the icon "Softener of Evil Hearts", tone 5)

Prayer to the holy martyrs Boris and Gleb

Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian for the return of peaceful times

(from the Works of St. Ephraim the Syrian, Volume 2)

Today, August 1, live on Spas TV channel, one of the participants in the program dedicated to Elder Paisius Svyatogorets, hegumen Cyprian (Yashchenko) asked viewers today, tomorrow and the day after important. He said that he was conveying here the request of the elders whom he knew.

Prayers of an Orthodox Warrior

Most of the believing soldiers' mothers, officer wives, and people close to us in general sew into the clothes of their sons and their loved ones who go to war, notes with the text of the ninetieth Psalm: “Alive in the help of the Most High. And many warriors who themselves knew and repeated by heart this protective chant, both in the past and now, testify to what they saw with their own eyes, how bullets literally went around them in battle, changing the flight path.

One veteran Patriotic War, giving an interview to a television correspondent in 1995, he told what terrible alterations he had been in and how he reached Berlin without a single scratch. When asked about the reason for such fantastic invulnerability, he showed a note with Psalm 90, yellowed from time to time, sewn into his tunic by a believing mother. At the same time, he himself remained an unbeliever, although he witnessed a miracle. Eternal memory of his mother! And thank God that this holy tradition is still not forgotten in our country. Thanks to her, even today many children have returned alive from Afghanistan and Chechnya.

Not everyone considers themselves believers. Not many people lead church icon life. However, there are very few who would completely deny God to themselves. Often we do not even suspect that faith and hope for God's help are stored deep in the heart and are just waiting in the wings. For some, this hour comes during periods of difficulties and trials, when we realize that our own strength is not enough, when we get tired, exhausted, when our human weakness is revealed and it seems that fierce enemies have risen against us. No wonder they say: "There are no unbelievers in the trenches."

The army today is not only a harsh school of life, in which the male character is tested for strength and tempered. In our cruel time, military service is associated with a special danger, in many cases death looks the soldier in the face. Therefore, a warrior of any rank needs most of all faith in God and a feasible prayer. Then, in critical situations, God will share with us our natural human weakness, fear, pain, and this will become the foundation of courage, wisdom, indestructible will and spirit. This has always been the basis of the victories and fearlessness of the Russian army.

Calling on the Lord from the depths of our despair or mortal danger, we ask Him, in essence, to be both God and Friend to us. And He never refuses those who ask. You can pray always and everywhere, in any place, at any time, under any circumstances.

And when everything is fine, and when sorrows cover with your head. You can pray alone, when there is a free moment to gather your thoughts, and in the midst of people - on the road, in the barracks, during exercises, praying silently. You can pray in your own words and church prayers. For this, there are short prayers for all occasions:

Lord have mercy! God help me!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

The prayer given here is called "Jesus" or "noetic prayer", because it is usually read in the mind, to oneself, in repeated repetition. On the march, on guard, during a military operation - ask God for help with all your heart, repeating this prayer continuously in your mind.

Oh our God! Give us strength on this day and forever serve You and the Fatherland.

God! Save, save, have mercy on us, autumn in the darkness of the night warriors and all of Russia, and protect them with Your Cross from enemy forces, and send us a righteous dream.

Before going to sleep, mark yourself with the cross and say a short prayer to the Holy Cross:

Protect me, Lord, by the power of Your Honorable and Life-Giving Cross and save me from all evil.

* In prayers in Church Slavonic, the sound "ё" is not used, wherever necessary, the sound "e" is pronounced.

Starting any business, including to prayer, you need to put the sign of the cross - to cross yourself. But when this cannot be done for some reason, it is enough to repeat to yourself: In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. And then read the following prayers:

In hardships and dangers

Read Psalm 90 in Church Slavonic

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. As if He will deliver thee from the net of the hunter, and from the rebellious word, His splash will overshadow thee, 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 in the days, from the things in the darkness of the transient, from the scum, and the demon of the afternoon. A thousand will fall from your country, and the darkness at your right hand will not come close to you, both look at 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 commandment about you, save you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble 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, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him, and I will glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life, and I will show him My salvation.

Daily prayer of the defender of the Fatherland

Vladyka Lord, You have granted me, unworthy and sinful, to serve my Motherland, to fulfill the duty of the defender of the Fatherland! I rely with all my being, heart and spirit on Your holy will. I beseech Thee, Lover of mankind, Lord, that my hand and weapon be directed to a just cause, and that I, passionate and sinful, not become an instrument of evil and unrighteousness.

Teach me to accept everything sent down by You with patience and meekness, for I am a weak and weak person, bearing the cross of service among those like me, but You alone can fill our unworthiness, instill the gift of wisdom and humility, and, above all, the greatest gift of love for your neighbor. I beg you to guide me in all the time of the ministry given to me, in all the trials, hardships and dangers that will fall to my lot. Grant me to pass them safely, and return home safe and sound. For to you belongs mercy and salvation, and to you I send glory, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

"Who is like God" means his name. The Holy Scripture calls him the Great Prince, the leader of the host of the Lord, the Archangel.

This is Archangel Michael. It was he who led the war with the devil when he rebelled against God. And there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought against them, but they did not stand, and there was no longer a place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was cast down, the ancient serpent, called the devil and Satan (Rev. 12:7-9).

Since then, Archangel Michael has never tired of fighting against the devil and all lawlessness among people, against vice and wickedness, for the glory of the Creator, for the salvation of the human race, for the Church and her children. Therefore, on icons, he is usually depicted in a militant form: with a spear or sword in his hand, with a dragon, the spirit of malice, defeated under his feet.

Tradition keeps the memory of the amazing miracles performed holy archangel. Since ancient times, he has been glorified in Russia. More than once the salvation of the Russian Land was preceded by the phenomenon Holy Mother of God with the host of the heavenly Archangel Michael, in whose honor many temples were erected. And today we, as before, pray at the beginning of each day and at the end of it: holy Archangel Michael of God, protect us from all evil and deliver us from troubles.

Holy Archangel Michael

The holy and great Archangel of God Michael, the inscrutable and all-important Trinity, the first in the Angels to the primate, the kind of human guardian and guardian, crushing from his army the head of the proud day of heaven and confounding his malice and deceit on earth! We resort to you with faith and pray to you with love, wake up an indestructible shield and take firmly the Holy Church and our Orthodox fatherland, protecting them with your lightning sword from all enemies visible and invisible.

Be a guardian angel, a wise adviser and companion who is in power. Be the leader and companion invincible to our Christ-loving army, crowning it with glory and victories over adversaries, so that all those who oppose us will know that God and His holy angels are with us. Do not leave us, O Archangel of God, with your help and intercession, who glorify the holy day your name: behold, if we are many sinners, we both do not want to perish in our iniquities, but to turn to the Lord and be quickened from Him for good deeds.

Illuminate our minds with the light of God, and I will take it out shining on your lightning-like forehead, so that we can understand that there is God's will for us good and perfect, and lead everything, even if it behooves us to do and even despise and leave. Strengthen by the grace of the Lord our weak will and our feeble will, yes, having established ourselves in the law of the Lord, we will stop the rest of the earthly thoughts and lusts of the flesh, being carried away, in the likeness of senseless children, by the soon-dying beauties of this world, as if for the sake of the perishable and earthly it is insane to forget the eternal and heavenly.

Above all of these, ask us from above for the spirit of true repentance, unhypocritical sadness according to Bose and contrition for our sins, but the number of days of our temporary belly remaining for us depends not on pleasing our feelings and working with our passion, but in blotting out the evils committed by us, with tears of faith and contrition of the heart, feats of purity and holy deeds of mercy.

When the hour of our death and liberation from the bonds of this mortal body approaches, do not leave us, the Archangel of God, defenseless against the spirits of malice in the heavenly places, who used to block the souls of mankind from ascending into the mountains: yes, guard you, without stumble, but we will reach these glorious villages of paradise, where there is no sorrow, no sighing, but life is endless, and having been able to see the bright face of our all-merciful Lord and Master, we fall with tears at His feet, in joy and tenderness we exclaim: glory to Thee, our dear Redeemer, even for Thy much love for us unworthy Thou send Thy angels to serve our salvation. Amen.

Prayer to the holy noble Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky, in schema Alexy

A speedy helper of all those who diligently resort to you and our warm intercessor before the Lord, holy noble Grand Duke Alexandra! Look mercifully upon us, unworthy, many iniquities are indecent to ourselves, to the race of your relics (or: to your icon) now flowing and from the depths of the heart calling to you: you are a zealot and protector in your life orthodox faith you were, and in it with your warm prayers to God unshakably confirm us.

You carefully passed the great service entrusted to you, and with your help to stay every time, in which you are called to eat, instruct. You, having defeated the regiments of adversaries, drove you away from the Russian borders, and overthrow all visible and invisible enemies who are taking up arms against us.

You, leaving the perishable crown of the earthly kingdom, have chosen a silent life and now you reign righteously with an incorruptible crown crowned in heaven, intercede for us, we humbly pray to you, a quiet and serene life and to the Eternal Kingdom, arrange for us a steady procession by your intercession.

Standing with all the saints at the throne of God, praying for all Orthodox Christians, may the Lord God preserve them with His grace in peace, health, long life and all prosperity in the coming years, may we ever praise and bless God, in the Trinity of Holy Glory, the Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

It is rare that even before official glorification, such a wide popular veneration and such a multitude of miracles accompany a saint, which (albeit secretly) accompanied the last Russian emperor and his family from the moment of his martyrdom. In 1917, our righteous Tsar did not want to fight for power, fearing to become the cause of new bloodshed on the Russian land, already tormented by war and civil strife. But he never renounced his people, slandered and betrayed by almost everyone. Now the Russian Orthodox people have two St. Nicholas the Wonderworker: Tsar Nicholas II stood next to St. Nicholas, dear to each of us. The Holy Royal Martyrs were glorified at the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.

Prayer to the Holy Great Martyr and Passion-Bearer Tsar Nicholas

Oh, holy passion-bearer to the Tsar-martyr Nicholas, the Lord has chosen His anointed one, in a hedgehog graciously and the right to judge your people, and the guardian of the kingdom of Orthodox life: this royal service and care of souls with the fear of God performed thou. Testing thee, like gold in the furnace, let the bitter sorrow of the Lord let you go, like the long-suffering Job, follow the throne of the royal deprivation and martyrdom of the sender.

All this meekly enduring, like a true servant of Christ, now enjoying the highest glory at the throne of all the Tsar together with the holy martyrs: the holy Empress Alexandra, the holy Tsarevich Alexy, the holy princesses Olga, Tatiana, Mary and Anastasia and with your faithful servants. But as if having boldness to speak to Christ the Tsar, for His sake and suffer, pray with them, may the Lord forgive the sin of the people who did not forbid your murder, the king and anointed of God, may the Lord deliver the suffering country of Russia from the fierce atheists, for our sins and apostasy from allowed God, and will raise the throne of Orthodox tsars, but he will give us forgiveness of sins and instruct us in every virtue, may we acquire humility, meekness and love, even these martyrs are revealed, may we be vouchsafed to the Kingdom of Heaven, even with you and all the saints, the new martyrs and confessors of Russia Let us glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Admiral, naval commander, diplomat, strategist, politician, doer Feodor Feodorovich Ushakov (1745-1817) - patron of the Russian fleet. Throughout his brilliant military career, Ushakov did not receive a single defeat. This was facilitated by his truly ascetic and highly spiritual life: he lived in the world as a monk, his ships were called floating monasteries, all of them had names in honor of saints and Christian holidays.

The main parting word of Ushakov before the battle to the sailors was; “Brothers! Read Psalms 26, 50, 90, and neither a bullet nor a saber will take you. In 1804, he compiled a detailed note about his service to the Russian fleet, in which he summed up his activities: “Thanks to God, with all the indicated battles with the enemy and during the entire stay of this fleet under my command at sea, the preservation of the Most High Goodness, not a single ship from it not lost and not a single person from our servants was taken prisoner by the enemy. The admiral spent the rest of his days extremely abstinently and ended his life as a true Christian and faithful son of the Holy Church should.

Prayer to the holy righteous Theodore, Admiral of the Russian Fleet, Invincible

Bend down, righteous warrior Theodora, from the mountain villages to those flowing to you, and listen to their prayer: implore the Lord God to grant us all, even if we ask Him for our salvation at your holy intercession. You carefully passed the great service entrusted to you, and with your help to stay every time, in which you are called to eat, instruct. You, having defeated the adversaries of the multitude, and overthrow all visible and invisible enemies who are taking up arms against us. Ask the All-Merciful God: may the suffering country of Russia be freed from the fierce atheists and their power, and may the throne of Orthodox tsars be restored.

Begged the Lord God to grant a strong and inviolable peace, and fruitfulness of the land, a shepherd shrine, the law of truth and strength, wisdom and invincible valor as a military commander, court governor, your Russian fleet and all our army, devotion to faith and the Fatherland, and irresistible courage, to all Orthodox Christians health and goodness. Save our Russian country and this holy monastery from all the slanders of the enemy, and in word and deed the all-holy name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit is glorified in them, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Saint Alexander Nevsky, read by him before the Battle of the Neva

God of praise and righteousness! God is great and strong! Eternal God, who created the heavens and the earth and set the limits of tongues *, and commanded them to live, not transgressing into other people's parts, and giving hope to His servant, Your eternal Word, in a hedgehog not to be afraid of a small flock from those who kill the body; mercy, for the sake of Thy inexpressible mercy, Thou hast sent Thy Only Begotten Son for the salvation and deliverance of the human race.

And now, O most generous Lord, hear the words of this barbarian, proudly boasting to destroy Your Holy Church, and consume the Orthodox faith, and shed Christian blood, look from heaven and see and visit Your grapes, judge those who offend me and rebuke those who fight with me; take up arms and a shield and stand to help me, so that our enemies will not say: where is their God? You are our God and we trust in You, and we give glory to You, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Holy Right-Believing Prince Demetrius of the Don, read by him before the Battle of Kulikovo

O great name of the Most Holy and Life-Giving Trinity! Most Pure Lady Theotokos, help us against opposing enemies, through the prayers of Your saint, the Monk Abbot Sergius, save our souls!

Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His presence. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear, like wax melts from the face of fire, so let sinners perish from the presence of God, and let the righteous rejoice. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of our salvation hasten to us. Wonderful is God in His saints, the God of Israel, He will give power and dominion to His people. Amen.

The creation of St. Blessed Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky

Lord, look at my weakness and see my humility and my evil sorrow,

and my sorrow, which now possesses me! Yes, trusting, I endure about all these. Thank you,

Lord, for thou hast humbled my soul, and in Thy Kingdom make me a partaker! And now, Lord, if my blood is shed, count me among the saints, Thy martyrs. Amen.

In the shot through overcoat of the Russian soldier of the Great Patriotic War, Alexander Zaitsev, who died in 1944, his last farewell letter in earthly life was found.

It is not addressed to relatives and friends, but to the Almighty God, in whom our warrior sacredly believed in his dying hour.

Listen, God. Never before in my life

I didn't talk to you, but today

I want to greet you.

You know, since childhood I was told

That there is no You. And I, the fool, believed.

I have never beheld your creations.

And so tonight I watched

From the crater that knocked out a grenade

To the starry sky that was above me.

I suddenly realized, admiring the universe,

How cruel deceit can be.

I don't know, God, will you give me your hand,

But I will tell you, and you will understand me:

Isn't it strange that in the midst of a terrifying hell

I suddenly opened the light, and I recognized You?

And besides that, I have nothing to say

It's just that I'm glad I got to know you.

At midnight we are scheduled to attack,

But I'm not afraid: You're looking at us.

Signal. Well? I must go.

I felt good with you. I also want to say

That, as you know, the battle will be evil,

And maybe at night I will knock on You.

And so, even though until now I have not been your friend,

Will You let me in when I come?

But I think I'm crying. God, you see

What happened to me is that today I have seen the light.

Farewell, my God, I'm going.

And I'm not likely to come back.

How strange, but now I'm not afraid of death.
