Prayer to Andrian and Natalia. What example do they set for all people?

Biblical history contains many stories when Christians had to undergo martyrdom and suffering in the name of the tenets of their faith. For many years, Christian communities throughout the Roman Empire were forced to hide from the authorities, preserving the Biblical commandments.

The young couple, Natalia and Adrian, who lived at the beginning of the 4th century after Christ in Asia Minor, did not escape the sad fate. A year after the wedding, a sad fate befell them. Reading a prayer to the martyrs Adrian and Natalia, we should all remember the story of their strong love and death in the name of faith.

Life of Natalia and Adrian

Natalia was a secret Christian, and her husband, Adrian, was a pagan, and he served as an official under the Emperor Maximian himself. One day, Roman soldiers discovered a cave where 23 Christians were hiding. They were tortured and tortured for a long time, trying to force them to renounce the Christian faith and return to paganism. Their names were written down by the 28-year-old head of the ward, Adrian, who was amazed at the perseverance and devotion to his faith of the prisoners.

Having asked them what they expected from God for such inhuman suffering, he heard an answer that radically changed his views: “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and what God has prepared for those who love Him has not entered the heart of man.” .

Struck to the heart by the steadfastness of the martyrs and their devotion to the Christian God, Adrian decided to share their fate and declared himself a Christian. Having accepted inhuman torment with those being tortured, having believed in God, he was executed in the city square. His wife, Natalia, supported him until his last breath, strengthened him in his faith, hoping that he would not renounce his chosen faith. While the executioners were burning the bodies of those executed, a thunderstorm suddenly came, extinguishing the flame of the furnace, and some guards were killed by lightning. Natalia died at the grave of her beloved husband some time later.

The couple were canonized as saints, because Adrian suffered for his faith, and his wife - for her compassion for her husband and determination in the path they chose.

Before her death, her husband appeared to Natalya, after which she went to the Kingdom of Heaven

One day, one boss decided to ask Natalya to marry him, but she was so faithful to her husband that she prayed to him before his hand. She asked him to spare her from such a test. Thanks to his intercession, and the intercession of the martyrs, she was able to escape to the place where the remains of her husband were buried.

For the remaining time, Natalya began to live with pious wives. But one day Saint Adrian appeared to her, after which she became very ill and died. She went to the Kingdom of Heaven, where she remains to this day with her husband.

Motivational intervention

In a nutshell, the essence of this psychological technique is as follows: if the patient has no desire to be treated

and return to a sober life, then before starting therapy, you need to form this desire in him

. For the first time people started talking about motivational intervention in the early 1960s, it was then that the theory was formulated about the ineffectiveness of addiction treatment (and we are talking not only about alcoholism, but also about drug addiction and substance abuse) without the informed consent of the patient.

If a person does not want to quit drinking, drug treatment clinics offer several options for motivational interventions:

  • emergency: indicated in cases where alcohol intoxication seriously threatens life and health;
  • systemic with the involvement of the patient’s relatives.

Emergency intervention

This method requires extensive experience and qualifications. A doctor comes to the home of an alcohol addict, who “on the spot” determines the conversation plan and selects words to convince him to go to the hospital. However, after detoxification, a course of intensive psychotherapy is necessary to reinforce motivation for further treatment.

Systemic intervention

Anyone interested in healing an alcoholic is invited to consult with a psychotherapist. The doctor listens carefully to everyone, offers to write down the most memorable and unpleasant moments of the drinker’s behavior, list the negative changes that have occurred to him (and touch not only the state of health, but also character and personal characteristics). The doctor helps to present all this not in a judgmental manner, but on the contrary - with an emphasis on care and participation

After this, the narcologist offers various treatment options and talks in detail about the advantages and disadvantages of a particular treatment program. Then they choose a time that suits everyone to meet. With this version of motivational intervention, each “participant” articulates his own attitude to the problem of drunkenness and speaks of concern for the patient. If necessary, the psychologist adjusts the direction and general tone of the “conversation.”

Consent to treatment with this approach can be obtained in the vast majority of cases.

Don't give up if you don't want to stop drinking

. Doctors in modern specialized clinics will be able to find the “key” and find the words to convince him to at least try to get rid of alcoholism.

Saint Natalia: exploits and glorification

Nicomedia (modern name – Izmit) is one of the oldest settlements in Asia Minor. Thanks to its favorable location - on the shores of the Sea of ​​Marmara, near Constantinople - the city flourished, attracting merchants, scientists and artists. In 74 BC. e. it became the center of the province of Bithynia, and in 286 - the eastern capital of the Roman Empire. Just there, in a family of virtuous Christians, at the end of the 3rd century. and the future holy martyr Natalya was born. The girl’s name, derived from the Latin word “natalis” (“native, blessed”), seemed to anticipate her amazing fate.

The girl could not openly profess her faith , because Galerius Maximian (250-311), who ruled at that time, persecuted everyone who worshiped Jesus.
She hid even from her own pagan husband, the head of the court chamber Adrian. Nevertheless, the young beauty tried to at least somehow help the righteous, bringing them medicine and food. However, one day the mercy of the Creator shone upon Adrian too. This happened when he interrogated 23 righteous people captured by order of the emperor. Amazed by their courage, the man believed in the true Lord and declared himself a Christian. Hearing about this, the ruler ordered his subject to be shackled and put in prison.

Adrian's spiritual insight was a real miracle, but he owes his resistance to torture to Natalia. Her life says that the woman tirelessly accompanied her husband. As soon as the man went to prison, the righteous woman immediately went to him, comforting her beloved with stories about the reward that awaits every associate of Jesus Christ. And when the executioners sent the martyr home, wanting him to be tempted by regrets about his former life, his wife closed the door in front of him and did not open it until he convinced her of the firmness of his intentions.

Convinced that Adrian’s resolve was not shaken by either imprisonment or verbal admonitions, Galerius ordered him to be tortured. The noble official was beaten with stakes, tied up and dragged along the ground. But Natalia was constantly with him, treating wounds and caring for her husband - for this she had to cut her hair and dress in men's clothes to look like a young man.


Even when the day of execution finally arrived, the girl did not leave her beloved. While the execution lasted - Adrian’s limbs were broken with a heavy hammer - she held her husband’s hand, encouraging him and distracting him from the pain.

As soon as all the ascetics gave up the ghost, the emperor ordered their bodies to be burned, depriving the relatives of their last consolation. Having learned about this, Natalia secretly took away her husband’s right hand and hid it in her house as a relic. And then the woman, suffering from separation from her beloved, almost threw herself into the fire on which the holy relics were placed. But suddenly clouds thickened in the sky, lightning flashed, striking the pagans, and rain poured down, extinguishing the fire. Frightened, the executioners left the execution site, and the believers were able to take the remains. One of the Christians volunteered to transport them to Byzantium, protecting them from further desecration.

Having been widowed, Natalia lived alone in Nicomedia. She was bitterly sad about her husband, and only earnest prayer saved the girl from melancholy and despair. But the righteous woman failed to observe mourning - soon a commander from Rome wooed her. Fleeing from an unwanted groom, the ascetic fled to Constantinople. The entire journey was accompanied by good omens - the fleet that rushed in pursuit was scattered by a storm, and the devil, who was knocking the ship off course, was driven out by Adrian, appearing before the believers in a shining halo.

Arriving in Constantinople, Natalia immediately went to the cathedral where the bodies of the martyrs were located. She placed her husband’s hand, which she had still kept next to her, to the shrines, and praised the Creator. And falling asleep after a difficult journey, the woman saw her husband. He announced: “Come to the rest prepared by the Lord, and accept the reward due to you!” Having awakened, the righteous woman told other Christians about the miraculous vision, and then quietly passed away into another world.

In memory of her bloodless asceticism, the icon of Saint Natalia can be equipped with a special attribute - a scroll with the words: “Let all things that are worldly, corruptible and harmful to the soul disappear from your mind.” This saying symbolizes zeal in faith and renunciation of earthly values ​​for the sake of God.

A strong prayer for a man's love

Through prayer, the believer communicates with the Saints or God. Remember that magical spells and divine help are not the same thing. These are different things. Through prayer we contact the Lord and ask for help. And a magical ritual bewitches the person we need, enslaving his feelings.

It is also worth noting that magical rituals will always require a price that will need to be paid (perhaps not immediately). But you will regret it.

How to get in touch with Heaven:

  • To ask for love from the Lord, visit the nearest temple or church;
  • Stand near the icon of the Most High, the Mother of God, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker or Matrona of Moscow;
  • Place 3 candles near the images;
  • Cross yourself three times;
  • Look at the burning candles and read the prayer.

You can also pray at home. To do this you will need an icon and 12 church candles.

The best images and prayers for finding love:

Icon of the Holy Martyr Natalia, meaning

The miraculous icon depicts the Great Martyr Natalya, who suffered great mental suffering. She always wears the martyr's white coat. She holds a cross in her hand, which symbolizes the saint’s sacrifice. Sometimes a bundle is depicted in the second hand, or the saint leans it against her chest. The clothes on the great martyr are always red, as a sign of great faith and suffering brought in her name.

A rare feature of the icon of Saint Natalia is her full-length image.

In many Orthodox churches there is an icon of “St. Natalia”, the significance of which is great for married couples. This woman experienced great suffering as she watched her husband suffer. She was with him all the time, both spiritually and physically. She did not leave her husband until his soul left his lifeless body.

What do they pray for to the icon of Saint Natalia:

  • for a happy marriage;
  • for well-being and a quiet family hearth;
  • for spouses who are in prison or under judicial arrest.

Veneration and commemoration of the martyr

After Natalia's death, her body was placed next to Adrian's remains. And in Art. IV. a separate church in Constantinople was dedicated to the spouses. However, now the relics of the righteous woman are kept in the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore. This building in Milan (Italy) was erected for meetings of the Roman Senate, but in the 7th century. Pope Honorius I ordered the building to be converted into a church. Around the same time, the shrine containing the bones of the martyr was also transported there.

St. Natalia's Day is celebrated on September 8 (August 26, old style). According to folk wisdom, if the morning of the holiday is cold and sunny, early frosts should be expected. In addition, by this date, the harvesting of oats was completed - the grain was brought into barns to dry before wintering, simultaneously preparing jelly, pancakes and delicacies from it for children.

Life of Saint Natalia

Natasha, the patroness of all, lived long before our time, when the Christian faith was completely infringed upon. She married the rich Adrian, who worked as a bailiff in court. But the girl never boasted of her civil status. On the contrary, she often helped and supported the poor and suffering, for which she was very respected and loved.

This woman became a Christian before her husband and preached the faith and was engaged in good deeds. When adherents of Christianity began to be detained en masse, her husband ended up in prison. Natalia constantly came to him, communicated with other prisoners and assured everyone to believe in the existence of another heavenly life. In order to be able to see her husband, she cut her hair short and dressed like a man in order to have access to the dungeon.

After some time, all the detainees were severely beaten and executed. The woman watched the death of her husband and was with him to the end. After the execution, she secretly took her husband's severed hand and soon took it to Byzantium, where the remains of the executed men were buried. After this, she herself gave up her soul to the Lord, uniting forever with her beloved.

She was canonized, and today this great martyr is remembered annually on September 8.

The most powerful prayer for a man's love

Remember, the Lord loves all people, each of us. All people are God's children and each has its own special role in the Divine Plan. For many centuries, thinkers and philosophers have tried to find the meaning and reason for our life, but according to the laws of the Lord, it consists in simply living and practicing self-improvement in the spiritual sense. Every person should live for the benefit of himself and the whole world.

Appeal to God for the mutual love of a man and a woman

Believers turn to the Lord with various requests. If these requests are made with diligence, faith and from a pure heart, then the Almighty will definitely hear and provide help. However, the Lord gives us only what we really need at the moment and if the request does not cause any harm to other people.

Very often women turn to the Lord for the love of a particular man. Unmarried and young girls and women use pleading words in the hope of finding love and finding the happiness of being loved with a specific man or guy. Remember that words must be spoken with your heart, believing in the object of your love. This is the only way a man can enter your life as a spouse.

Rules and recommendations in prayer

Before using prayer, you need to understand that in no case should you limit yourself to joy and pleasure alone. It is necessary to understand that love is also a responsibility. Since we will always be responsible for our family.

A prayer for love cannot harm anyone and has always been considered harmless. But when reading it, you need to think only about sincere and pure feelings with a free man. Under no circumstances should you ask for the love of a married young man.

Prayer Gets God's Attention

Prayerful words will not charm the right person. You cannot count on every minute action. Understand that immediately after reading, your chosen one will not rush to you. But if people are made for each other, they will always be attracted. They will be together. Heaven will push them. If there is no result, it means that these halves of hearts are not whole and you need to continue looking for your love.

There will definitely be signs from Heaven. You will feel when God sends his help to you, and you will be able to use it for the benefit of your loved ones and for yourself. But you should refuse to come up with any signs yourself. They come when you need them. Your prayer for your loved one will change not only you, but also your betrothed and the people who surround you.

Love is a reward for every person. But first you have to work hard to earn it. Take care of yourself, develop spiritually and believe in the Lord. Contact him and thank him.

The most powerful prayer for a man’s love sounds like this:

“Oh, sacred duo, holy martyrs of Christ Natalia and Adrian, blessed spouses and sufferers. Hear me, God's servant (name), praying to you with pain and tears, send patience to the body and soul of God's servant (name) and God's servant (name of husband), and ask our Almighty, may he have mercy on us and send us his sacred mercy, May we not perish in our terrible sins. Holy martyrs Natalia and Adrian, I beg you, accept the voice of my request, and deliver us from destruction, famine, betrayal, divorce, invasion, abuse and abuse, from sudden death and from all sorrows, troubles and illnesses. Amen"

May the Lord protect you!
