Prayer for the seriously ill
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Mother of God saw a dream: They are chasing after her son, they want to take him, Crucify him, tie him by the arms and legs, nail him to the cross, shed holy blood on the ground. The Mother of God groans in her sleep and opens her eyes from sleep. Her son came to her:
- My mother, are you sleeping?
- I am not sleeping. I see you, my son, standing on the mountain. You walk among the robbers, You carry a huge, heavy cross. You walk between the mountains, between the Jews. They crucified your hands. They hammered nails into your legs. On Sunday the sun sets early. The Mother of God walks among the stars in the sky, leading the Son of Christ by the hand. She went to the morning and from the morning, went to mass from mass, from evening to evening, to the blue sea. On that blue sea the stone lies lying. And on that stone there is a three-domed church. In that three-domed church there is a Throne, and where the Throne stands, there Christ sits. He sits with his legs down, his head bowed, and reads a prayer. He sees Peter and Paul and calls them over. Paul asks Jesus Christ:
- Lord, on Your hands and feet there are wounds from the nails. You read prayers for everyone and accepted torment for everyone. And the Lord said to him:
- Don’t look at my feet, don’t look at my hands, but take the prayer into your hands. Go and carry it, let anyone who knows how to read this prayer. And whoever reads it and repeats it will not know torment and will not burn in fire. And whoever is sick gets up, walks, and no more trouble will take him. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

History and significance
The day of special veneration of the Image of the Virgin Mary “Healer” falls on October 1. The name of the icon speaks for itself - it testifies to countless miracles of healing that took place after sincere prayer in front of the image.
Orthodox believers are widely aware of the story of the clergyman Vincent of Bulveninsky, who lived during the distant Middle Ages, who, having experienced serious illness and severe pain, did not doubt the power of the Mother of God, and continued to sincerely pray to her for healing, despite the constant deterioration of his health.
The Most Holy Virgin heard the righteous man and gave him health. Since then, this icon of the Mother of God has been present in every church or chapel at hospitals, giving those who suffer faith and hope for recovery.
The image of the Mother of God “Healer” is one of the most revered in Orthodoxy. Prayers are offered to him for the granting of recovery, healing from serious illnesses, and liberation from mental and physical suffering. Everyone who sincerely asks the Intercessor Mother for help will certainly be blessed with protection from troubles, misfortunes and unexpected grief, will receive help in a successful delivery, and will be protected from illnesses, illnesses and other misfortunes.
As in any prayer, an appeal to the “Healer” must be truthful, come from the very depths of the soul, and be nourished by holy faith in the power and mercy of the Mother of God. And then she will definitely hear the words of the believer and help him in his sorrows, because there has never been a case when the Virgin Mary remained indifferent to people’s prayers.
