The Lord's Prayer is not just the main words for any Christian. These lines contain a secret meaning, an understanding of God himself and everything that surrounds us. Many interesting facts and even mysteries are connected with the text of this prayer, which can only be comprehended by a true believer.

History of Prayer

"Our Father" is the only prayer that the Lord himself has given us. It is believed that it was given to humanity by Christ, and was not invented by either saints or ordinary people, and this is precisely its great power. The text of the prayer itself is as follows:

Our Father who art in heaven!
hallowed be thy name;
let your kingdom come;
may Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us our daily bread this day;
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.


These words reflect all human needs, aspirations and aspirations for the salvation of the soul. The meaning and mystery of this prayer lies in the fact that it is the universal word of God, which can be used both to bless one's path and to protect one from evil spirits, from illness and from any misfortune.

rescue stories

Many Christian leaders say that reading "Our Father" in the most terrible moments of life can help to avoid a terrible fate. The main secret of this prayer lies in its power. God saved many people in danger, reading "Our Father". Desperate situations that put us in the face of death are the best moment to utter powerful lines.

One of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War, a certain Alexander, wrote a letter to his wife, which she did not get. Apparently, it was lost, because it was found in one of the places of deployment of troops. In it, the man said that he was surrounded in 1944 by the Germans and was waiting for his death at the hands of the enemy. “I was lying in the house with a wounded leg, I heard the sound of footsteps and a German dialect. I realized that I was about to die. Ours were close, but it was simply ridiculous to count on them. I couldn't move, not only because I was injured, but also because I was in a dead end. There was nothing left but to pray. I prepared to die at the hands of the enemy. They saw me - I was frightened, but I did not stop reading the prayer. The German did not have any cartridges - he began to quickly talk about something with his own, but something went wrong. They abruptly rushed to run, throwing a grenade at my feet - so that I could not reach it. When I read the last line of the prayer, I realized that the grenade had not exploded.”

The world knows many such stories. Prayer saved people who met wolves in the forest - they turned around and walked away. Prayer put thieves and robbers on the righteous path, who returned stolen things, attaching notes of repentance and that God had instructed them to do this. This sacred text will save from cold, fire, wind and from any misfortune that can threaten life.

But the main secret of this prayer is known not only in grief. Read "Our Father" every day - and it will fill your life with light and goodness. Thank God with this prayer that you are alive and you will always be healthy and happy.

We wish you strong faith in God, health and patience. Learn the secret of the Divine plan and our life in the reading of the prayer "Our Father". Read it from the heart - then your life will be brighter and calmer. God will be with you in everything. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

Every day we face difficulties and challenging situations that test our faith. Exactly...

We know many prayers composed by the holy fathers. There are also prayers repeating angelic praises. And there is one prayer, with the words of which Christ Himself commanded us to turn to God. This is the Lord's Prayer. Most of us know its text by heart, but these words must not only be known, they must be understood. Because spiritual science is not a multiplication table that can be learned and then automatically used. It requires constant effort, returning to what we already know so that it comes to life in our consciousness and in our heart. What is behind the words of the Lord's Prayer, says Bishop PANTELEIMON of Smolensk and Vyazemsky.

Mountain Jerusalem. Fragment of the Last Judgment icon 1580-1590, Solvychegodsk

    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.

secret prayer

In addition to the text of the prayer “Our Father”, the Lord in the Sermon on the Mount left us a teaching on how to pray: “But when you pray, go into your room and, having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret...” ( Matthew 6:6).

Home prayer should be done alone. You have to know how to be alone with God. Some spouses, starting a life together, read evening and morning prayers together. And it turns out that they deprive themselves of secret prayer, the one that is spoken of in the Gospel. Perhaps you can sometimes read the rule together. In some monasteries there is a general rule, but it should always be supplemented by cell prayer. And if a person does not find time in his life to pray to God in secret, then he does not fulfill the commandment given to us by Christ.

Home, cell prayer can be different. It may be reading the usual rule, it may be the reading of canons, akathists, it may be the reading of the Jesus Prayer. When we gather together to pray in the temple, we all pray together with the same words. But when we are alone, we can choose the prayer that helps us focus more and remember God. My words do not mean that we should not have a prayer rule at all and that tonight we can honor Great Compline and make one bow, and tomorrow we can make a hundred bows with the Jesus Prayer. No. We, those who do not know how to pray, still need some kind of rule. It must be chosen together with the confessor and strictly adhered to. Because only perfect, holy people can completely omit the rule. Some of them are generally silent - there is a kind of prayer when a person is simply silent before God. But we need a prayer alphabet. We need to learn to read in syllables - every morning and every evening to fulfill the prayer rule that we have determined for ourselves.

The following words in the Sermon on the Mount are also about how to pray: “And when you pray, do not say too much, like pagans, for they think that in their verbosity they will be heard; do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:7-8). The Lord gives us a model for such a laconic prayer. This is the Lord's Prayer. The words of this prayer cannot be translated into Russian so that they immediately become clear - they have a very deep meaning that is not always available to us, earthly, carnal people. That is why we need to meditate on this prayer in order to understand how and about what the Lord commanded us to pray.

Our Father

As we begin this prayer, we invoke God, calling Him Father. At the liturgy, before singing "Our Father", the priest proclaims: "... and vouchsafe us, Vladyka, with boldness, without condemnation, to dare to call you the Heavenly God the Father" (this is how this petition is translated from the Church Slavonic language). With these words, we ask God's blessing to call Him Father.

Humbly, with penitential feeling, we must pronounce these first words of the Lord's Prayer. After all, when we approach the Chalice, we do not call ourselves “son of God Paul” or “daughter of God Antonina”, we say “servant of God Paul” and “servant of God Antonina”, and in the prayer “Our Father” we call God the Father.

If you delve into these words, you understand that God is not just some distant and inaccessible Being, Who cannot understand our troubles and Whom we always ask for something, as if He had forgotten about us. Because that's what we sometimes think. But in the Holy Scriptures there are such words where the Lord says that if a mother forgets her nursing child, then He will not forget us. That is, He loves us more than a mother loves her suckling child.

The words "Our Heavenly Father" speak of true fatherhood. They speak of the amazing love of God for us. When you remember this love, it becomes easier to live, it becomes easier to pray. And, of course, it is also important that from the very beginning of this prayer, the Lord calls us to pray not only for ourselves, calling God "our" Father, but calls us to turn to Him "our" Father - our common Father. And my Father, and the Father of a Chinese in China, and an African in Africa, and a homeless person who walks the streets of Moscow. Our father. He is the Father of those who do not love me, and those whom I consider my enemies, and the Father of those whom I do not know at all.

But, although we turn to God as to the Father, this should not be insolence, familiarity. We must maintain a reverent attitude towards God. The Holy Fathers say that when a person prays to God, he should imagine himself as a kind of "small leech", that is, some kind of small insect. Calling God Father does not mean we can pat him on the back. Of course not. Reverence, the fear of God must be preserved. Remembering that He is our Father, we must consider ourselves unworthy of this love of God. And if we come to a certain sober state of mind, we will understand and feel that this is the way it is.

Three general petitions

The sequence of our requests addressed to God is very important. The first thing we ask of God is that His Name be hallowed. These are amazing words. The name of God, as some theologians in the 20th century said, is God Himself. There were people who were called "name-worshippers", and there were others who did not agree with them. Between those and others there was such a struggle that it came to hand-to-hand fighting. A Russian warship was sent to Athos to pacify the indignation that arose there. Probably, the "name worshipers" were not right in everything, but their opponents were wrong to an even greater extent. The name of God means a lot. It is the presence of God in the world. The words that we call God: Almighty, Sabaoth, Love, are not just words. The name of God is that through which God reveals himself to us. This must be treated with great reverence and asked that the presence of God through His Name appear and sanctify our world. The world that rushed after Adam, who committed sin. We ask that this world does not turn away from God.

Then we pray for the Kingdom of God to come. Once I asked the students of our school if they want to be in the Kingdom of God right now? They answered me: “No, Vladyka, we still want to live!” Nevertheless, we ask in the prayer "Our Father" that the Kingdom of God come. The kingdom of God is not necessarily death. During the celebration of the Liturgy, the Kingdom of God comes. Or when we meet with holy people, the Kingdom of God also comes to us. It appears in our soul when we read spiritual books. It can suddenly illuminate our soul, our heart with meaning. It happens that way too. And outside this Kingdom there is no life. Outside it is darkness. Outside the Kingdom of God is a dying world that is coming to an end, to eternal suffering. Therefore, we ask that the Kingdom of God come. There is no need to put such a meaning into these words, as if we want to die tomorrow and find ourselves in the Kingdom of God. No. We won't be able to do it, you can't go in there unprepared. But this Kingdom must come and bring peace and tranquility to our restless soul, because where there is peace, there is the Kingdom of God. It should come to us with joy, grace. This is what we ask.

Our next petition is that the Will of God be done on earth just as it is in heaven. We dare to speak these words and speak them without bitterness. Although it is usually difficult for us to come to terms with someone else's will. Children, when they argue, find it difficult to agree with the will of another. Even a wife and husband who love each other sometimes argue over some nonsense. Saying “okay, let it be as you want” is very difficult. Because of this, wars start on earth, families break up, friendships collapse - all because everyone wants to insist on his own. Sometimes it's a principle, sometimes it's a benefit, sometimes it's a passion. It is very difficult to come to terms with someone else's will. But to say to God “Thy will be done” is very easy. Because His will is good will. It is a will that wants not to enslave us, not to deprive us of freedom, but, on the contrary, to give us freedom. Because only in God, in His will, we find freedom. This will is good and perfect. And of course, you need to look for this will. If we do not try to know the will of God, then we say these words in vain, they turn out to be empty and false for us.

Three personal petitions

Only after we have asked that the Name of God be hallowed, after we have asked for the coming of the Kingdom of God and for the Will of God to be, only after that do we ask for our worldly needs. Although the Lord says that he knows our need, nevertheless, as we see, he commands us to ask for our daily bread every day. There are different interpretations of these words. "Daily bread" can mean everything you need for life - a roof over your head, clothes, water, everything you need to live today. And pay attention - it is today, and not until old age comfortably and calmly. We ask not for the supernecessary, but for the necessary. These words should shame us and remind us that one cannot live luxuriously here on earth. The more luxuriously you live on earth, the more likely it is that you will be deprived of heavenly joy, as happened to the rich man in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Remember? He was cast into hellfire. On earth, he lived luxuriously, he had not only the necessary, but much more than that. These words of prayer should remind us how to live. They should not only help us learn to ask God for something, but also suggest how to build our lives. There is also such an interpretation that “daily bread” is the Communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. That is, we ask God to give us this gift, without which we cannot live. The Lord answered the devil with words from the Holy Scriptures - man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. That is, the words of the Holy Scriptures that feed our hearts are also bread for us.

The next petition is also very important - we ask God to forgive us our sins, just as we forgive our debtors. I often come across in confession with people who cannot forgive someone. In the lives I came across a story about how one saint stopped the service and did not allow a person to sing these words from “Our Father”, because he did not forgive his debtor. And to another person, who also did not want to forgive his neighbor, the saint told him not to read these words in "Our Father" - he would skip them if he could not forgive. After all, how can he hope for the forgiveness of his sins if he does not forgive another? These words should shame us, we should be afraid of not forgiving people what they owe us. To be afraid not to forgive those who have borrowed and do not repay, to be afraid not to forgive their children, who, as it seems to us, owe us - after all, we raised them, and now they do not care about us. But we must definitely forgive them if we want to receive forgiveness from God. And we all have an unrequited debt to God. None of us can pay for it. You remember the parable about the debtor who owed a hundred thousand talents. When he was forgiven his great debt, he began to demand from his debtor one hundred denarii - a meager amount - and did not want to forgive him. Then all that huge debt that had previously been forgiven to him was recovered from him. So our huge debts to God, our sins that God has forgiven us, can be collected from us again if we do not forgive all the small and seemingly large debts of other people.

In the end, we ask God not to lead us into temptation. This refers to trials that are beyond our strength. Of course, God never introduces us into trials that are beyond our strength. Our pride leads us into these trials. When we say this, we are not asking God not to do something that He would never do, but we are reminding ourselves that in our pride we can take on more than we can bear, and then, having lost humility, we risk entering into some heavy and terrible temptation. Sometimes God allows temptation for pedagogical purposes, wanting to teach us something. We ask here that those sorrows that should be in our lives (and without sorrows one cannot acquire the fear of God, one cannot learn humility), that they still be within our power and that the Lord deliver us from the power of the devil, deliver us from his networks which, as you know, are scattered over the face of the earth. When the Monk Anthony saw these nets, he said to God: “Who can be saved?!” And there was an answer to him that these nets do not even touch a humble person. So in these words there is a reminder for us that it is possible to get rid of the evil one, from his networks only by humility. And humility is to always pray to God, to always ask for His help. In the Gospel, the prayer “Our Father” ends with a doxology: “For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen". In modern practice, the priest ends the prayer with these words if we read it in the temple.

Unfortunately, in our time, very often people pray formally, mechanically. But we should not just repeat the words of the prayer "Our Father", as children do, but ponder each time their meaning. Do not be complacent after reading this article. Be sure to read the interpretations of the saints, ask other people how they pray this prayer. What meanings do they put into these words, what do they ask for. Because prayer is not the pronunciation aloud or to oneself of ancient magical formulas, secret magical sound combinations. Prayer is the turning of the mind and heart to God with the help of words that have the deepest meaning, which must be realized and felt by those who pray. "Our Father" is not only one of the most important prayers used by the Church. This is a perfect example of the correct prayer disposition of the soul, given by God Himself, this is the system of life priorities commanded by Christ, expressed in capacious words.

Recorded by Ekaterina STEPANOVA

The most detailed description: the prayer of our father to whom it is dedicated - for our readers and subscribers.

Hello Father. Please tell us, in the prayer “Our Father”, which was given to us by Jesus Christ himself, to whom do we turn if our god is Jesus himself? Forgive me for my ignorance. With deep regards, Vladimir.

Hello! The Holy Trinity- God, one in essence and trinity in Persons (Hypostases); Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father is without beginning, not created, not created, not born; The Son is eternally (timeless) born of the Father; The Holy Spirit always proceeds from the Father. Earthly measurements habitual for us, including the category of number, are inapplicable to God. After all, only objects separated by space, time and forces can be calculated. And between the persons of the Holy Trinity there is no gap, nothing inserted, no section or division. The Divine Trinity is absolute unity. The mystery of the trinity of God is inaccessible to the human mind. Knowledge of the Trinity of God is possible only in a mystical revelation through the action of Divine grace, to a person whose heart is cleansed of passions. God bless and help you!

Scripture

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

Our Father. Lord's Prayer

The text of the prayer "Our Father" should be known and read by every Orthodox believer. According to the Gospel, the Lord Jesus Christ gave it to his disciples in response to a request to teach them how to pray.

Our Father, Thou 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.

Our Father who art in heaven! May your name be hallowed; Let your kingdom come; may Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us our daily bread for this day; And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)

After reading the prayer, it should be completed with the sign of the cross and a bow. Our Father is pronounced by believers, for example, at home in front of the icon, or in the temple during the service.

Interpretation of the prayer Our Father of St. John Chrysostom

Our Father, Who art in Heaven! See how He immediately encouraged the listener and at the very beginning remembered all the blessings of God! In fact, the one who calls God the Father, already confesses by this name both the forgiveness of sins, and the release from punishment, and justification, and sanctification, and redemption, and sonification, and inheritance, and brotherhood with the Only Begotten, and the gift of the spirit, so as one who has not received all these blessings cannot call God the Father. Thus, Christ inspires His listeners in two ways: both by the dignity of those who are called, and by the greatness of the benefits they received.

When does he say in heaven then with this word it does not contain God in heaven, but distracts the one who prays from the earth and sets him up in lofty countries and in mountain dwellings.

Further, with these words He teaches us to pray for all brothers. He does not say: “My Father, Who art in Heaven”, but - Our Father, and thus commands to offer up prayers for the whole human race and never have in mind your own benefits, but always try for the benefits of your neighbor. And in this way it destroys enmity, and overthrows pride, and destroys envy, and introduces love - the mother of all good things; destroys the inequality of human affairs and shows complete equality between the king and the poor, since we all have an equal share in the highest and most necessary affairs.

Of course, the title of God the Father also contains a sufficient teaching about every virtue: whoever called God the Father, and the Father in common, must necessarily live in such a way that he does not become unworthy of this nobility and shows zeal equal to the gift. However, the Savior was not satisfied with this name, but added other sayings.

May your name be hallowed, He says. To be holy means to be glorified. God has his own glory, full of all majesty and never changing. But the Savior commands the one who prays to ask that God be glorified by our life. Of this He said before: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16). Vouchsafe us, - as if the Savior teaches us to pray like this, - to live so pure that through us all glorify You. To show unreproachable life before everyone, so that each of those who see it praises the Lord - this is a sign of perfect wisdom.

May your kingdom come. And these words are appropriate for a good son, who does not attach himself to visible things and does not regard present blessings as something great, but strives for the Father and desires future blessings. Such prayer comes from a good conscience and a soul free from everything earthly.

May Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Do you see a great connection? He first commanded to wish for the future and strive for his fatherland, but until this happens, those living here should try to lead such a life as is characteristic of the celestials.

So, the meaning of the words of the Savior is this: as in heaven everything happens without hindrance and it does not happen that the Angels obey in one thing, and disobey in another, but obey and submit in everything - so do we, people, not half do Your will but do everything as you please.

Give us our daily bread today. What is daily bread? Everyday. Since Christ said: Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth, and He talked with people clothed with flesh, who are subject to the necessary laws of nature and cannot have angelic dispassion, even though He commands us to fulfill the commandments in the same way as the angels they fulfill them, but condescends to the weakness of nature and, as it were, says: “I demand from you an equal angelic severity of life, however, without requiring dispassion, since your nature does not allow this, which has the necessary need for food.”

Look, however, as in the bodily there is a lot of spirituality! The Savior commanded us to pray not for wealth, not for pleasures, not for valuable clothes, not for anything else like that - but only for bread, and, moreover, for everyday bread, so that we do not worry about tomorrow, which is why he added: daily bread, that is everyday. Even with this word he was not satisfied, but he added another after that: give us today so that we do not overwhelm ourselves with concern for the coming day. Indeed, if you don't know if you will see tomorrow, then why bother worrying about it?

Further, since it happens to sin even after the font of rebirth (that is, the Sacrament of Baptism. - Comp.), The Savior, wanting to show His great love for mankind in this case, commands us to approach the human-loving God with a prayer for the remission of our sins and say this: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Do you see the abyss of God's mercy? After taking away so many evils and after the inexpressibly great gift of justification, He again honors the sinners with forgiveness.

With a reminder of sins, He inspires us with humility; by the command to let others go, he destroys rancor in us, and by the promise of forgiveness to us for this, he affirms good hopes in us and teaches us to reflect on the indescribable love of God.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Here the Savior clearly shows our insignificance and casts down pride, teaching us not to give up on exploits and not arbitrarily rush to them; thus for us the victory will be more brilliant, and for the devil the defeat is more sensitive. As soon as we are involved in the struggle, we must stand courageously; and if there is no challenge to her, then we should calmly wait for the time of exploits in order to show ourselves both unconceited and courageous. Here, Christ calls the devil the evil one, commanding us to wage irreconcilable warfare against him and showing that he is not such by nature. Evil does not depend on nature, but on freedom. And that the devil is predominantly called evil, this is because of the extraordinary amount of evil that is in him, and because he, not being offended by anything from us, wages an irreconcilable battle against us. Therefore, the Savior did not say: “deliver us from the evil ones,” but from the evil one, and thereby teaches us never to be angry with our neighbors for the insults that we sometimes endure from them, but to turn all our enmity against the devil as the culprit of all angry By reminding us of the enemy, having made us more cautious and stopped all our carelessness, He inspires us further, presenting to us that King under whose authority we are fighting, and showing that He is more powerful than all: For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen, says the Savior. So, if it is His Kingdom, then no one should be afraid, since no one resists Him and no one shares power with Him.

The construction of the temple of the Matrona of Moscow in the Dmitrovsky district of the capital is being completed

  • On November 28, Orthodox Christians began the Nativity Fast

  • The Name Day of the Holy Matrona of Moscow was celebrated at the Intercession Monastery

    An ark with a particle of the relics of the Matrona of Moscow will be delivered to Izhevsk

    Question answer

    Are all psychics from the devil or are there psychics from God?

  • How to choose a husband or wife? What are the criteria for choosing a spouse?

    Description of the site

    About Saint Matrona

    Matrona of Moscow- an Orthodox saint who had the gift of wonderworking from birth.

    Her whole life has become an example of a great spiritual feat of love, patience, self-denial and compassion. People came for help to mother for tens of kilometers with their illnesses, anxieties, sorrows.

    The flow of pilgrims to venerate her holy relics does not dry out even today.

    The Mystery of the Lord's Prayer

    Our Father, who art in heaven!

    Let your name shine

    Let your kingdom come

    Let your will be done

    Like in heaven and on earth

    Give us our daily bread today

    And leave us our debts

    Like we leave our debtor.

    And lead us not into temptation

    But deliver us from the evil one.

    Why is she so popular?

    Easy to remember, stays in your head forever. Not without reason, it has become a saying “memorize, like“ Our Father ”.

    Chatters fast, bounces off teeth. “Our Father, who art in heaven. »

    If you read the prayer in 8-12 minutes (!) “with feeling, with sense, with arrangement”, with fixation on the very process of reading, then a completely different state will be revealed.

    Read 10 short lines in 10 minutes ! Be sure to find that some words fall immediately "on the soul." Others don't lay down. Stubborn, contradict, false. This is an exercise for introspection. If some words of the prayer sound false to you, it means.

    I learned a lot about myself when I did this simple exercise with the Lord's Prayer.

    No, it's not the words from the prayer that sound false, it's something in the soul that is false. Something with prayer does not resonate. And words only help to reveal this falsity. Yep, it's dirty somewhere. If you want to be sincere with yourself, find it out to the end. Honestly. For myself! No one will check this homework.

    Rate yourself. Why is there no deep resonance with prayer somewhere? What do you need to change in yourself? And How? And perhaps nothing needs to be changed. So far, it is not given to hear this contradiction. Well, this is a given. Not given yet.

    So, there is no real faith yet. You can go to church, you can smoke with candles, you can even hit your forehead on the floor. Well, no faith yet. The main thing in the process of prayer is the realization of striving towards Him. Not that He would hear us and heal us, reward us, share our anxieties, etc. We must hear Him in ourselves. Share with Him His peace.

    The version of the prayer "Our Father" for the initiated

    I read a new interesting fact from Vitaly Bogdanovich in the “Big Book of Protective Things”. It turns out that the prayer "Our Father" (version Pater Noster - Latin) originally had two different forms of reading. One for the initiates, the other for everyone else. Would you like to become a little dedicated for a moment?

    The initiate, when making the sign of the cross, said the following.

    Raising a hand to the forehead: "You",

    Carrying the hand to the chest: "Kingdom."

    Then a hand to the left shoulder: "Justice."

    To the right shoulder: "And mercy."

    Then both hands join: "In all nascent cycles."

    And all this, again, is not chattering. Pronounced (=stretch=fixation) for 20-30 seconds.

    I tried to make the sign of the cross as an initiate, with feeling, with prayer. I won’t say that I brightened up, but the state, indeed, was no longer the same. As if the corridor opened straight. From me to Him. And it became somehow quiet and calm.

    Have a look at the page with the prayer of John Chrysostom. Only 6 words, but how it works!

    Also on topic "Russian Mantra". This is already a modern masterpiece, with the help of which life becomes brighter and clearer, and you are more confident and stronger. Mantra, she prayer and there is.

      To the right shoulder: "And mercy." -

      Since when is the Orthodox cross placed from left to right?

      And the name does not shine, but it shines.

      He got sanctified. for Jesus in the gospel is compared to Adam.

      If it doesn't work, don't be embarrassed! Modify in your own way, adapt! If Spiritual aspirations cannot be used in everyday life or in the production of useful things, then all this is nonsense .. :))

      Well done! The main thing is that everything that is from the Spirit, try to make it more practical. adapt! If Spiritual aspirations cannot be used in everyday life or in the production of useful things, then all this is nonsense .. :))

      here is an example of clear clouding

      This is how the reptilians powdered the truth for us, divided outer space into spiritual space, which is somewhere separate from the material. my answer will be this - yes, everything is one, there is no need to tear the world (this paradise given to us) into parts, they are inseparable, and sing in harmony together!

      what do we ask, so that the Lord does not lead us into temptation? what can be entered?

      Or the creation of the grave.

      Mola (lat) - spring in Romance languages

      Mohla or grave - in Russian, and in Turkic

      Example: Akmolinsk is a “white grave” or a grave from which they resurrected.

      The one who prays to himself springs himself into a point that very effectively complains about his pointiness and loneliness in the crowded world of the usual non-handshake.

      The complaint invariably receives the resource of writing off obstacles to the healing of the situation. After all, by pressing a switch or a piezo button, we do exactly the same thing: we ask the resource to enter and make atonement for mistakes (sin)

      There are no rejections. Unless he (herself) praying to himself is not so shaved and erased inside that the light meets in him (in her) the Sayano-Shushenskaya flesh, across the road of life and good luck.

      Negligence in the creation of a prayer (grave) leads to a disruption of the flow, and help without proper formalization is not released.

      And three and four times during the night the Angel offers to “reread heartily.” By 9 o'clock in the morning, it is already possible to defeat the grumbling of laziness.

      When enlightenment comes, a person who has entered the world already sees the world of arrows and signs, circles and texts that ensure his efforts to pass light to places of the cry of the soul, to repair the body according to the drawings of the human canon.

      The whole organism deserves trust from the Lord and can already heal the world around it and the planet with its presence - distances do not play a role in other orders of frequencies of purity.

      Water is instantly blessed both in Singapore and Australia. And the healings are also global

      The feat of redemption of the world by Christs is built on this: they exchange light with the world, like blood, secretly.

      You just need to become transparent to the Lord and not interfere with the march of Victory.

      Or just slowly draw the control vertical from the crown of the head - to the tailbone, as they remove dust or fat.

      Or outline the head with an imaginary halo, erasing all the reliefs of sin from the name of the person who applied.

      Putting a plus on that minus is the sign of the cross: it is also the case when haste leads to being late.

      Calling on the light, remember that you are handing it over to be crucified!

      Therefore, first put things in order in your head with the knowledge of the sacred blueprints of life: the one who needs himself needs a revelation - he simply does not know much. Help him gather himself into a man of knowledge! Weasel.

      This is also the basis for the feat of the redemption of the world by Christ:

      Are you like over Christs? then how would you get?

      Why did Jesus, apparently the last leader of the sect, recommend her to his followers? Because it briefly touches upon all the problems of the Jewish people at that time.

      Turning to God as a Father, of course a spiritual one, is a normal attitude for Jews who have risen to this level. King David was the first to do this, in his psalms we read: “The Lord said to Me: You are My Son; I have now begotten you; ask me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession” (Ps. 2:7-8). At the same time, God is perceived as a caring father who, at the right time, will praise, reward, intercede, but if the son is guilty, he will punish. At this level, the obligatory observance of the commandments follows from the desire of a person to be worthy of his rank.

      Christians cannot call God a father, because believe that all people are his slaves, and only one and only son - Jesus. And the commandments given by God are not fulfilled.

      When Jesus comes to one city, he goes to demon-possessed people who live in tombs. “Coffins” are burial caves. They had nowhere to live, everything was taken away from them, so they lived in the cemetery. When they say to Jesus, we are a legion, they mean: we are a legion of the dispossessed. Evangelists say he cured them. Of course he healed. He said that he was the messiah, i.e. anointed to the Jewish throne, who will drive out the invaders and local kings.

      The expectation of the Messiah is the national idea of ​​the Jewish people.

      The “evil ones” are all those whose thoughts and actions come from ignorance. Ignorance is darkness, darkness is ruled by Satan, who, by the way, is also a servant of God. Everything in this world is subject to God.

      The Christian opposition of Satan to God is a direct insult to God.

      The main ignorance, those. manifestation of Satan, Jesus considered ignorance of the Torah.

      This is how the “Law and the Prophets” was briefly called by the Jews the first two parts of their sacred Scriptures. was against the Greek translation of the scriptures, which follows from the following phrase:

      “For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle will pass from the law until everything is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:18).

      This is the requirement for the fulfillment of the Law (Torah) to the “last line and jot”, i.e. to the last letter and vowel line of Hebrew spelling, not Greek.

      “So whoever breaks one of these least commandments and teaches people so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19).

      According to Jesus, whoever does not fulfill at least one of the commandments of the Torah, and even worse teaches others this way, is “the least”, read “the most unworthy, the most stupid”. And stupidity is the most extensive area of ​​sin.

    The most important prayer is called the Lord's, because the Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave it to His disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray (see Matt. 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4).

    Our Father, Thou art in heaven; hallowed be thy name; let your 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 also forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one.

    We offer our reader an interpretation Blessed Simeon of Thessalonica.

    Our Father!- because He is our Creator, who created us from nothing, and through His Son by nature became a Father for us by grace.

    Thou art in heaven because He rests in the Saints, being holy, as it is written; holier than us are the angels who are in heaven, and purer than the earth is heaven. Therefore, God is predominantly in heaven.

    May your name be hallowed. Since you are holy, sanctify your name also in us, sanctify us too, so that we, having become yours, can sanctify your name, proclaim it as holy, glorify it in ourselves, and not blaspheme.

    May your kingdom come. Be our King for our good deeds, not an enemy for our evil deeds. And may your kingdom come, the last day, when you will take the kingdom over all, and over the enemies, and your kingdom will be forever, as it is; it expects, however, worthy and ready for that time.

    May your will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Establish us as angels, so that your will be done in us and by us, as in them; let not our passionate and human will be done, but yours, passionless and holy; and just as You united the earthly with the heavenly, so let the heavenly be in us who are on earth.

    Give us our daily bread today. Although we ask for heavenly things, but we are mortal and, like people, we ask for bread to maintain our being, knowing that it is from You, and You alone have no need for anything, but we are bound by needs and we believe in You his boldness. Asking only for bread, we do not ask for what is superfluous, but necessary for us for the present day, since we have been taught not to worry about tomorrow either, because You care for us even today, you will be baked tomorrow and always. But also another give us our daily bread today- living, heavenly bread, the all-holy body of the living Word, which he who does not eat will not have a little life in himself. This is daily bread: because it strengthens and sanctifies soul and body, and not poisonous it does not have a stomach in itself, a his poison will live forever(John 6:51-53-54).

    And leave us our debts, just as we leave our debtors. This petition expresses the whole meaning and essence of the divine Gospel: for the Word of God came into the world in order to leave us our iniquities and sins, and, being incarnate, did everything for this purpose, shed his blood, bestowed the sacraments in the remission of sins and it commanded and legitimized. Let go and let you go, says It (Luke 6:37). And to the question of Peter, how many times to let a sinner go in a day, he answers: up to seventy times seven, instead of: without counting (Matt. 18:22). In addition, It determines by this the success of prayer itself, testifying that if the one who prays lets go, he will be let go, and if he leaves, it will be left to him, and will be left to the extent that he leaves (Luke 6:36-38), - of course , sins against the neighbor and the Creator: because the Lord wants it. For we are all equal by nature and all together are slaves, we all sin, letting go a little, we receive a lot, and, giving forgiveness to people, we ourselves receive forgiveness from God.

    And lead us not into temptation: because we have very many tempters, full of envy and always hostile, and many temptations from demons, from people, from the body and from the carelessness of the soul. Everyone is subjected to temptations - both those who strive and those who neglect salvation, the righteous even more, for their trial and exaltation, and they all the more need patience: because the spirit, although it is vigorous, is the flesh is weak. It is also a temptation if you despise your brother, if you seduce him, insult him, or show carelessness and negligence about the deeds of piety. Therefore, no matter how we have sinned before God and our brother, we ask Him to have mercy on us, forgiving and releasing us ourselves, and not to lead us into temptation. Even if someone is righteous, let him not rely on himself: because one can be righteous only with humility, mercy and remission of their sins to others.

    But deliver us from the evil one: because he is our implacable, tireless and furious enemy, and we are weak before him, since he has the most subtle and vigilant nature, the crafty enemy, inventing and weaving thousands of intrigues for us, and always inventing dangers for us. And if You, the Creator and Lord of everything and the most evil one, the devil with his slanderers, as well as the angels and us, do not steal us from them, then who will be able to rip us out? We do not have the strength to constantly oppose this immaterial, so much envious, treacherous and cunning enemy. Deliver us Thyself from him.

    For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever, amen. And who will tempt and offend those under your dominion, God of all and Master, who owns the angels? Or who will resist your power? - No one: because You created and keep everyone. Or who will stand against your glory? Who dares? Or who can hug her? Heaven and earth are filled with it, and it is higher than heaven and angels: because You are one, always existing and eternal. And your glory, the kingdom and the power of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever, Amen, i.e., truly, undoubtedly and authentically. Here is a brief summary of the meaning of the thrice-holy and sacred prayer: "Our Father." And every Orthodox Christian must certainly know it all, and lift it up to God, rising from sleep, leaving the house, going to the holy temple of God, before eating and after eating food, in the evening and going to bed: for the prayer of the Trisagion and “Our Father” contains everything - the confession of God, and doxology, and humility, and the confession of sins, and the prayer for their forgiveness, and the hope of future blessings, and the petition for the necessary, and the renunciation of the superfluous, and the hope in God, and the prayer that temptation did not overtake us, and we were free from the devil, so that we could do the will of God, be the sons of God, and be worthy of the kingdom of God. That is why the Church performs this prayer many times day and night.
