A mother's prayerful sigh for her children

God! Creator of all creatures, applying mercy to mercy, You created me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your goodness has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them life, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them with Baptism for life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church. God!

Send me your grace-filled help in their upbringing for the glory of your name and the good of your neighbor! Grant me methods, patience and strength for this purpose! Teach me to plant in their hearts the root of true wisdom - your fear! Illuminate them with the light of Your Wisdom! May they love you with all their soul and mind; May they cling to Thee with all their hearts and tremble at Thy words all their lives! Grant me reason to convince them that true life consists in keeping Your commandments, that labor, strengthened by piety, delivers serene contentment in this life, and inexpressible bliss in eternity. Reveal to them the understanding of Your law, so that until the end of their days they act in the feeling of Your omnipresence; instill in their hearts fear and aversion from all iniquity, may they be blameless in their ways, may they always remember that You, the All-good God, are the Zealot of Your law and righteousness! Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name, so that they do not discredit Your Church with their behavior, but live according to its instructions! Inspire them with a desire for useful learning and make them capable of every good deed, so that they acquire a true understanding of those subjects whose information is necessary in their state, and be enlightened with knowledge that is beneficial for mankind. God! Wise me to imprint with indelible features in the mind and heart of my children the fear of fellowship with those who do not know Your fear, to inspire them with every possible distance from any union with the lawless, may they not heed rotten conversations, may they not be deceived from Your path by bad examples, may they not be tempted by that that sometimes the way of the wicked is prosperous in this world. Heavenly Father! Grant me the grace to be careful in every possible way to give my children the temptation of my actions. But constantly keeping in mind their behavior, distract them from their errors, correct their errors, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity, let them not be carried away by foolish thoughts, let them not follow their hearts, let them not become proud in thought. theirs, may they not forget you and your law, may the iniquity of their mind and health not destroy, may the sins of their spiritual and bodily strength not weaken. Father of bounty and all mercy! As a parent, I would wish my children every abundance of earthly blessings, I would wish them blessings from the dew of heaven and from the fat of the earth, but may Thy holy will be with them! Arrange their fate according to Your good pleasure, do not deprive them of their daily bread in life, send down to them everything necessary in time for the acquisition of blessed eternity; be merciful to them when they sin against you; impute not to them the sins of youth and their ignorance; bring contrite hearts to them when they resist the guidance of thy goodness; punish them and have mercy, directing them to the path pleasing to You, but do not reject them from Your face! Accept their prayers with favor, grant them success in every good deed, do not turn Your face away from them in the days of their sorrow, so that their temptations will not overtake them beyond their strength. Overshadow them with Your mercy, may Your Angel walk with them and save them from every misfortune and evil path. Almighty God! Make me a mother rejoicing over her children, may they be my joy in the days of my life and my support in my old age. Deign me, with hope in Your mercy, to stand with them at Your Last Judgment and with shameless boldness to say: “Here I am and my children whom You gave me, Lord!” Yes, together with them, glorifying Thy unspeakable goodness and eternal love, I exalt holy name Yours, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, forever and ever.

Very often from some parents you can hear such questions: which icon or which saint to pray for children or?

I am glad that many parents understand that important condition The success of raising children is our parental prayer for them.

In one of our previous articles, we talked about saving parents. And we, adults, have a lot to learn from our children, because often parental prayer for children is unreasonable.

The Apostle James says: "Ask and you do not receive, because you ask not for good" (James 4:3).

So how to pray for children what to ask the Lord?

Agree that more often in our prayers we ask children for well-being in society, health, and in prayer books there are even special prayers for this.

So, for example, in the illnesses of babies they pray to the holy martyr Paraskeva, named Friday, for the development of the mind in children - to the martyr Neophyte, the Monk Sergius, the unmercenaries and miracle workers Cosmas and Damian, for the well-being of children in society - to St. Mitrofan, the Voronezh miracle worker, for the patronage of children - . And this is not a complete list.

But… it's all good, it's all necessary, but don't we forget the most important thing? Let's remember what the Lord told us: "Seek first of all the Kingdom of God, everything else will be added to you."

Therefore, parents should primarily strive to raise their child as a living member of the Church of Christ. And the Lord will surely fulfill such a prayer, even if not immediately. We do not know the dates, because there are so many cases in the history when the Lord led young people not in a direct way, but temporarily allowed them to deviate from direct way, thereby saving from pride.

The most striking example is Monica's prayer for her son, Blessed Augustine. They don't call him the "son of tears" for nothing. The prayers and hot tears of his mother helped him become a great teacher of the Church.

The Holy Fathers teach us to pray very carefully. This also applies to parental prayer, and in particular, when parents ask in their prayers for the recovery of a terminally ill child.

Sometimes the Lord takes away their children from parents, thereby saving them from future grief. In this case, parents need humble obedience to the will of God, and just as the Lord prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, so we must add at the end: "... however, not my will, but Yours be done."

But there are even more cases when the prayer of parents miraculously saved a terminally ill child. Parental, and even more so maternal prayer has special power Such an ardent prayer cannot go unheeded.

As proof, I will give an example of our days.

By coincidence, the parents were forced to send their son to an environment full of dangers for both body and soul. Blessing, the father said:

“My son, wherever you are, know that at exactly twelve o’clock at night, my mother and I will pray for you, St. Seraphim.

And the son, every time exactly at midnight, remembered this. He knew that at this hour the parents sacredly fulfill their promise and offer up their prayers for him.

And when, after three years, he returned to his father's house, his first words were the following:

“Father, I am saved by your prayers to St. Seraphim.

It happens that the Lord does not refuse parents and their unreasonable requests.

An example of this is the case in the family of the merchant Azurin. terrible sin perjury entailed punishment for the whole family. All men of this kind ended their lives either insane or by suicide. And here one of the women of this family, with a fatal illness of her child, fervently prayed all night before the image of a saint revered in their family for the recovery of her son. Forgetting herself, she sees in a half-dream that the saint came out of the icon to her and said:

“Your prayer is unreasonable, you don’t know who it will be. But if you so ask, then let it be at your request. The boy recovered, matured, and his life became a curse for his mother.

Once we already talked about. It is hard, very hard to look at a sick child, but as he said: “Health is a gift from God.” And this gift is not always useful. Sickness cleanses us of sins, softens our soul, makes us remember God. After all, it is in illness that we often remember the mountain. After all, right?

Therefore, if you get sick, let's think, are we the culprits of this suffering?

Once to St. A peasant came to Ambrose, in whose arms a demoniac boy fought and began to ask the elder to cure the child. The perspicacious old man asked him sternly: "Did you take someone else's?" “Sinful, father,” answered the father. “Here is your punishment,” said the elder, and walked away from his unfortunate father.

And in this case, the only remedy will be the repentance of the parents.

In history, we can meet many pious families where, through the prayers of their parents, they grew up to be real Christians, real people.

And in conclusion, I would like to bring a prayer to the martyr Sophia for the upbringing of children in Christian piety.

This holy wife was able to bring up her three daughters in such a way that in a moment of terrible torment, these young girls remained faithful to their mother and everything that she taught them and were worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven for this.

Prayer to the martyr Sophia.

Oh, long-suffering and wise Great Martyr Sophia of Christ! You stand with your soul in heaven at the Throne of the Lord, on the earth, given to you by grace, you perform various healings: look mercifully on the coming people and praying before your relics, asking for your help: extend to the Lord your holy prayers for us, and ask us for forgiveness our sins, healing for the sick, those who mourn and those in need ambulance: implore the Lord, may he give us all a Christian death and a good answer at His Last Judgment, may we be vouchsafed with you to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Prayers for children are the petitions of parents addressed to God and His saints. So, let's figure out what a prayer should be in order for it to be heard.

"Strong" prayer for children

Let's start, perhaps, with such a concept as "strong prayer for children." Unfortunately, modern mothers and fathers, far from church life, misunderstand the meaning of prayer, equating it with a spell. For them, prayer for children is not a living communication with God and His saints, but a certain set of magic words, by saying which, their child “automatically” should become happy, healthy, rich (and further down the list). Therefore, if you are told about some kind of “strong” prayer, you need to understand that this has absolutely nothing to do with Orthodoxy. However, at the same time, maternal prayer really has incredible power! Sometimes, through the prayers of mothers, real miracles happen. Paradoxical, isn't it? In fact, everything is very simple… Mother's heart, compassionate and sympathetic to his child, sincerely and with repentance praying to God, can do the impossible! Therefore, if you want your prayer for children to be strong, you need to:

“Pray with attention, and not just say words like spells. Delve into the text of prayers composed by holy and pious people, try to let them through your heart.

- Pray with repentance, realizing that you are sinners, because " God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble» (1 Peter 5:5)

- Pray regularly and relentlessly, for Christ Himself said " Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you...» (Matthew 7:7)

- Pray first of all to God. Prayer Mother of God, saints and the Guardian Angel will not replace prayers to the Creator!

— Strive to lead a pious Christian life keeping the main commandments - to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbors. And if you sin, repent. Lead the church life as well: go to confession regularly, take communion, read the Gospel. All this brings a Christian closer to righteousness, and the apostle James said: The fervent prayer of the righteous can do much"! (James 5:16)

What are the prayers for children:

1. Prayer in your own words (but sometimes the heart asks to pray for a long time, and we don’t have enough words to express our feelings. Then it’s very good to pray according to the prayer book - those prayers that the holy fathers have already compiled for us)
2. Prayer before a certain icon. For example, there is great amount icons of the Mother of God. Each of them has its own story... According to a good tradition, some of them pray for children. But, you need to understand - we pray to the Mother of God BEFORE the icon, which sets us in a certain way. We do not pray to the ICON itself. This is what distinguishes the Orthodox prayer for children from magic spells that cause great harm to the soul!
3. Akathists. These are praises (quite long) that are prayed while standing. Any mother can choose an akathist to pray for her children. This may be an akathist to the Lord, the Mother of God, or one of the saints.

As you can see, a mother’s strong prayer is primarily a spiritual work, and not a set of certain “magic” words. But, let's not lose heart - everyone can do this work!

Prayer one:

O Most Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save my children under Your shelter (names), all youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of their mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as You are the Divine Protection of Your servants.
Mother of God, introduce me into the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the spiritual and physical wounds of my children (names) inflicted by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Yours, Most Pure, heavenly patronage. Amen.

Second Prayer for the Children of the Mother of God (before the icon of the Mother of God "Education")

Before this image, the Mother of God prays for any needs and problems in raising children.

Oh, Blessed Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your shelter my children (their names), all the youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of the mother. Cover them with the robe of Your Motherhood, observe them in the fear of God and in obedience to the parent, implore Your Son and our Lord, may the useful grant them to save them. I entrust them to Your Mother's care, as You are the Divine protection of Your servant. Amen.

Prayer for the children of the Mother of God the third (before the icon of the Mother of God "Addition of the mind" (or "Giver of the mind"))

There is a good tradition - to pray to the Mother of God before this image, if the child has learning difficulties

The Most Pure Theotokos, House, His Wisdom of God was created, spiritual gifts to the Giver, from the world to the most peaceful, our mind raises and leads everyone to the knowledge of the mind! Receive prayer singing from us, unworthy Thy servants, with faith and tenderness bowing before Thy most pure image. Pray for your Son and our God, give wisdom and strength to our power, justice and impartiality to judges, spiritual wisdom, zeal and vigilance for souls as a shepherd, humble wisdom as a mentor, obedience to all of us, the spirit of reason and piety, the spirit of humility and meekness, the spirit purity and truth. And now, our all-singing Mother, give us an increase in mind, die, unite in enmity and division of being and put them in an unsolvable cous of love, turn all those who have erred from unreason to the light of the truth of Christ, instruct the fear of God, abstinence and industriousness, teach the word of wisdom and soul-beneficial knowledge Grant to those who ask, autumn us with eternal joy, the most honest Cherubim and the most glorious Seraphim. We, the wondrous deeds and the many-minded wisdom of God in the world and our life, seeing, we will eliminate earthly vanities and unnecessary worldly cares, and we will raise our mind, our heart to Heaven, as if by Your intercession and help glory, praise, thanksgiving and worship for everything in the Trinity to the glorious God and Creator of all we exalt, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen.

Fourth Prayer for the Children of the Theotokos (before the icon of the Mother of God "Joy" (or "Consolation"))

In front of this icon, mothers ask the Mother of God for any help for their children.

Hope to all ends of the earth, Most Pure Virgin Mary, Our Consolation and Joy! Do not disdain us sinners, we trust in Your mercy. Extinguish the flame of sin and irrigate our withered hearts with repentance. Cleanse our mind from sinful thoughts. Accept prayers from the soul and heart with a sigh brought to you. Be an Intercessor for us to Your Son and God and turn His wrath away from us with Motherly prayers. Strengthen the Orthodox faith in us, put in us the spirit of the fear of God, the spirit of humility, patience and love. Heal mental and bodily ulcers, calm the storm of evil enemy attacks. Take away the burden of our sins and do not leave us to perish to the end. Grant us Thy mercy and Thy holy blessing to all who are present and praying here, and always be with us, giving joy and comfort, help and intercession to those who come to You, let us praise and magnify Thee until our last breath. Amen.

The fifth prayer for the children of the Mother of God (in front of the icon of the Mother of God "Mamming")

There is a good tradition to turn to the Mother of God in front of this icon, including mothers who do not have enough breast milk.

Accept, Lady Mother of God, the tearful prayers of Your servants who flow to You. We see you on holy icon who bears in her arms and nourishes with milk thy Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ. If and without pain you gave birth to Him, both the mother of grief, weight and weakness of the sons and daughters of men see. The same warmth, clinging to Your wholesome image and tenderly kissing this, we pray to Thee, the All-Merciful Lady: us, sinners, condemned to give birth in illnesses and feed our children in sorrows, mercifully spare and compassionately intercede, our babies, who also gave birth to them from a serious illness and deliver bitter sorrow. Grant them health and well-being, and their nourishment from strength will increase in strength, and those who feed them will be filled with joy and consolation, as even now, through Your intercession from the mouth of the infant and the pissing Lord, He will give His praise. O Mother of the Son of God! Have mercy on the mother of the sons of men and on Your weak people: soon heal the sicknesses that come upon us, quench the sorrows and sorrows that are upon us, and do not despise the tears and sighs of Your servants. Hear us on the day of sorrow before the icon of Your bow, and on the day of joy and deliverance, accept the grateful praise of our hearts. Lift up our prayers to the throne of Your Son and our God, may he be merciful to our sin and infirmity and grant His mercy to those who lead His name, as if we and our children will glorify Thee, the merciful Intercessor and the faithful Hope of our kind, forever and ever. Amen.

Mother's prayer for children second:

God! To the Creator of all creatures, applying mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your goodness has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them life, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them by baptism for life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church, Lord! Keep them in a blessed state until the end of life; make them worthy to be partakers of the mysteries of your covenant; sanctify with your truth; may your holy name be sanctified in them and through them! Send me your grace-filled help in their upbringing for the glory of your name and the good of your neighbor! Grant me methods, patience and strength for this purpose! Teach me to plant in their hearts the root of true wisdom - your fear! Illuminate them with the light of Your Wisdom that governs the universe! May they love you with all their soul and mind; may they cling to Thee with all their hearts and tremble at Thy words all their lives! Give me reason to convince them that true life consists in keeping your commandments; that labor, strengthened by piety, delivers serene contentment in this life and inexpressible bliss in eternity. Reveal to them the understanding of Your Law! Yes, until the end of their days they act in the feeling of Your omnipresence! Instill in their hearts horror and disgust from all iniquity; let them be blameless in your ways; May they always remember that You, Omnipotent God, are a zealot for the law and Your righteousness! Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name! Let them not discredit Your Church with their behavior, but let them live according to its precepts! Inspire them with a desire for useful teaching and make them capable of every good deed! May they acquire a true understanding of those subjects whose information is necessary in their state; let them be enlightened with knowledge that is beneficial for humanity. God! Wise me to imprint with indelible features in the mind and heart of my children the fear of fellowship with those who do not know Your fear, inspire them with every possible distance from any union with the lawless. Let them not heed rotten conversations; Let them not listen to frivolous people; let them not be led astray from thy way by bad examples; May they not be offended by the fact that sometimes the path of the wicked is successful in this world!

Heavenly Father! Grant me grace in every way to beware of giving my children a temptation by my actions, but, constantly keeping in mind their behavior, distract them from delusions, correct their errors, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity; let them not be carried away by foolish thoughts, let them not follow their hearts, let them not become proud in their thoughts, let them not forget you and your law. May the iniquity of their mind and health not destroy them, may the sins of their spiritual and bodily forces not relax. Righteous Judge, who punishes children for the sins of their parents up to the third and fourth kind, turn away such punishment from my children, do not punish them for my sins; but sprinkle them with the dew of Thy grace, may they prosper in virtue and holiness, may they grow in Thy favor and in the love of pious people.

Father of bounty and all mercy! As a parent, I would wish my children every abundance of earthly blessings, I would wish them blessings from the dew of heaven and from the fat of the earth, but may Thy holy will be with them! Arrange their fate according to Your good pleasure, do not deprive them of their daily bread in life, send down to them everything necessary in time to gain blessed eternity, be merciful to them when they sin before You, do not impute to them the sins of youth and ignorance of them, bring their hearts to contrition when they resist the guidance of thy goodness; punish them and have mercy, directing them to the path pleasing to You, but do not reject them from Your face! Accept with favor their prayers, grant them success in every good deed; turn not thy face away from them in the days of their affliction, lest their temptations be overtaken above their strength. Overshadow them with Your mercy, may Your Angel walk with them and save them from every misfortune and evil path, All-good God! Make me a mother rejoicing over her children, may they be my joy in the days of my life and my support in my old age. Deign me, with hope in Your mercy, to stand with them at Your Last Judgment and with unworthy boldness to say: Here I am and my children whom You have given me, Lord! Yes, together with them glorifying Thy inexpressible goodness and eternal love, I exalt Thy Most Holy Name, Father, Son and Holy Soul, forever and ever. Amen.

Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord John.

Troparion, voice 2

The memory of the righteous with praises, but the testimony of the Lord is sufficient for you, Forerunner: you showed me truly and the most honest prophets, as if you were worthy to be baptized in streams of the Preaching. Having suffered for the truth, rejoicing, you proclaimed the good news to those who are in hell, God manifested in the flesh, taking away the sin of the world and giving us great mercy

Kontakion, tone 5

The forerunner of the glorious beheading, watching was some kind of Divine, and even those who are in hell preach the coming of the Savior; let Herodia sob, asking for an unlawful murder: not the law of God, nor love the living age, but feigned, temporary.

Prayer

To the Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, repentant, do not despise me, but copulating with your heavenly ones, praying to the Lord for me, unworthy, dejected, weak and sad, fallen into many misfortunes, troubled by the stormy thoughts of my mind: for I am a den of evil deeds, by no means have an end to the sinful custom; nailed more is my mind by an earthly thing. What will I do, I do not know, and to whom will I resort, so that my soul will be saved? Only to you, Saint John, give the name of grace, as before the Lord, according to the Theotokos, it is greater for all of you to be born, for you were honored to touch the top of the King of Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God: Pray for him for my sinful soul, but from now on in the first ten hours, I will bear a good burden, and I will receive wages with the latter.
To her, the Baptist of Christ, an honest Forerunner, an extreme prophet, the first in the grace of a martyr, a mentor of fasting and hermits, a teacher of purity and a close friend of Christ, I pray, I resort to you, do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, fallen by many sins; renew my soul with repentance, as with a second baptism, better than both, thou shalt wash away sin with baptism, but preach repentance for the cleansing of every bad deed; cleanse me with sins defiled and compel me to enter, even if it enters badly, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

For a believing woman, motherhood has a slightly different meaning. A Christian mother is called to raise children in moral purity, to talk about God. It is also normal for Orthodox parents to pray to mothers and fathers for their children. For them, it is like an invisible shield that can protect them from various troubles. Let's take a look at the most strong prayers mothers for their children.

Attitude towards motherhood

God has a care for every soul. He destines for everyone, without exception, his own path, special. Therefore, parents should not impose their own preferences on the child. They should respect the little personality from the very beginning. Their main task is to take care of morality, to instill useful skills. They are necessary in order to keep the soul from evil when a small person becomes a big one.

When going to the temple, parents should take their children with them. Raising a worthy Christian is much more important than all other concerns. It doesn't matter who the child becomes - the main thing is his inner life. A prerequisite at the same time, the mother's prayer for children is - it should be constant. Many holy fathers insist on this.

Mother's prayer for a child

“Lord Jesus Christ, be Thy mercy on my child (name), keep him under Thy shelter, cover from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary, open his ears and eyes of the heart, grant tenderness and humility to their hearts. Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my child (name) and turn him to repentance. Save, Lord, and have mercy on my child (name), and enlighten his mind with the light of the mind of Your Gospel, and guide him on the path of Your commandments, and teach him, Savior, to do Your will, as You are our God.

A mother's prayer if the children are sick

“O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the Indivisible Trinity, look at the merciful one on Your servant (e) (her) (name of the child) obsessed with disease (oh); forgive him (her) all his (her) sins; give him (her) healing from the disease; return him (her) health and bodily strength; give him (her) a long-term and prosperous life, Your peaceful and most peaceful blessings, so that he (she) together with us brings (a) grateful prayers to You, the All-Generous God and my Creator. Holy Mother of God, by Your all-powerful intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of the servant (s) of God (name). All saints and Angels of the Lord, pray to God for the sick (sick) servant of His (name). Amen."

Heavenly Father

God does not send children in vain. Parents are given power over them, which is repeatedly mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, even one of the commandments tells to honor the father and mother. But they should not abuse their influence, demand submission no matter what. Father and mother must themselves be accountable to the common Father, the Lord.

Children see everything perfectly, therefore it is impossible to demand from them that which is not fulfilled by the elders in the family. A father who smokes cannot force his son to quit smoking. Because his behavior speaks of a neglect of his duties to build God's temple from the body.

An example of an Orthodox mother

Only humility before God can make a mother's prayer for children strong. And if she screams, criticizes her husband, gets annoyed because of every little thing - it is unlikely that such a person will inspire respect for the child.

Temple visit and Sunday school- this is wonderful. But a child, as the closest person, even a small one, is able to perceive the smallest movements of the soul. And the mother's heart should be for him a window into the kingdom of heaven. Through her spiritual world he starts building his own. A pious mother teaches her child from an early age:

• make the sign of the cross
• apply to icons
• pray briefly.

It is with such a mother that prayer for children will be very strong. History knows examples of how requests to God saved lives, pulled people from the very bottom of the moral abyss. Christians owe this to the special relationship of Christ to His earthly Mother.

Cross of the Virgin

Remembering St. Mary, people think about what honor was given to her by God. But how often does it occur to someone how hard it was for her to be purely feminine? Endure, give birth to the Son, then to give him to be torn to pieces, look at the torment and death of his only child? That's who you need to ask for patience when it seems that the forces are running out.

Prayers for children to the Mother of God can be read before any way:

• ask them for health;
• assistance in learning;
• maintaining moral purity.

In such cases, the holy fathers do not limit the frequency of prayers - after all, the heart cannot be ordered to love less. Namely, love, feelings for the eternal fate of a kindred soul move mothers to prayer deeds.

In Christianity, the family is highly valued, the relationship between parents and children is an important part of education. Orthodox fathers wrote many special prayers that a mother should read about her children.

Christian parenting

From the very first days of life, it is necessary to bring the baby to the temple, do not remove the cross from him. There has not yet been a case where the ribbon somehow hurt. It is desirable after 2 years on Wednesdays and Fridays to arrange fast days. And it's good for health, as doctors say today. Vegetable food cleanses the body, allows it to rest from the stresses that heavy food with animal fats creates.

• Communicate regularly with children.
• At home, read prayers aloud, Holy Bible- even if the baby does not understand the words, they will still have their beneficial effect.
• On an empty stomach give holy water, a piece of consecrated bread or prosphora.
• Offer the baby for blessing in the temple, apply to the Cross.

One should not only make a mistake and put into the mind of the child the image of a formidable God, Who seeks to punish for the slightest offense. This will not cause love, but rather disappointment and longing for the Creator, Who loves and forgives.

Children of the younger school age able to perceive the gospel texts naturally. They are surprised not so much by miracles as by the behavior of Christ, His love and self-sacrifice.

Do not force small children to memorize prayers. It is better to explain that God hears everything, and in the morning you need to say hello to Him, in the evening - to say goodbye. Let the child turn to Jesus in his own words, over time he will learn church texts. The main thing here is not to discourage the desire to know this issue.

If a pious atmosphere reigns in the house, the mother's prayer is constantly heard, the child naturally perceives it with all his heart, this is an excellent basis for the future.

Listen to the mother's prayer for her child
