The Mother of God Virgin Mary comes to the aid of everyone who turns to her. She forgives, she heals, she helps, she guides. The prayer to the Mother of God for work is famous among people as an effective and powerful appeal to the Queen of Heaven. The Mother of God is asked for help in work, both before starting any business, and those who are completely desperate.
In the Orthodox world there are a large number of Images of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
- Our Lady of Kazan
- Our Lady of Vladimir
- Our Lady of the Seven Shores
- Mother of God "Recovery of the Lost"
- Pochaevskaya Mother of God and others.
And all these images of the Intercessor help us in difficult times, heal and strengthen our faith.
How to properly ask the Most Holy Theotokos for help
You cannot ask the Blessed Virgin Mary for assistance in matters that imply that someone will be harmed at work. For example, a demotion in position or pay. The main condition when praying to the Mother of God is pure thoughts and good intentions.
In addition, before offering a prayer to the Heavenly Patroness, you must repent of your sins and ask the Lord for forgiveness for them. Prayer is offered in front of the image of the Mother of God. Words must come from the heart. The person praying must believe with all his soul that help will come. After achieving what you want, you must definitely thank the Mother of God by reading a song of praise.
There is a legend about the monk Nile, who went blind and regained his sight
Dochiar.
Orthodox Greek monastery on Holy Mount Athos in Greece. Keeps the Holy Relic of Orthodoxy - the icon “Quick to Hear” There is a legend that in the 7th century the monk Nil carried out obedience in the Dokhiar monastery. He worked in the refectory, and every time he passed by the icon of the Mother of God, he did not deliberately smoke the image of the Mother of God with a torch.
One day the monk heard the voice of the Mother of God herself, who called him an unworthy monk and asked how long he would smoke the image with impunity.
Dohiar
this is the name of the monastery on Holy Mount Athos in Greece, on the wall of which the icon “Quick to Hear” is written
Trapezary was frightened and suddenly went blind. In the morning, the monks saw Nile, who was lying on his back in front of the image of the Virgin Mary. The monks listened to the unfortunate man’s story about what happened to him, and lit a lamp in front of the icon, in which the fire has always been maintained since then.
Neil repented and did not leave the icon, reading prayers to the Mother of God for forgiveness and healing from blindness.
The monk's prayers were heard. The Mother of God restored his sight. The Most Pure Virgin also said that her icon is called “Quick to Hear.”
Since then, there has always been a constant prayer book in front of the icon, who performs prayers and takes care of the Holy Face.
Texts of prayers to the Mother of God for help in work
Before the image of the Kazan Mother of God they pray to find an interesting and well-paid job, and also to ensure success in all matters at the workplace.
In the Russian Orthodox tradition, it is customary to sing the praises of the Mother of God during services (morning, evening, holidays). For this purpose, two prayer books have been compiled: “Mother of God, Virgin, Rejoice” and “It is Worthy to Eat.” In Catholic rites, the analogue of the hymn is the song “Ave Maria”.
Songs of praise dedicated to the closest person to Jesus Christ give you the opportunity to look at your life in brighter colors. An optimistic attitude, faith in the power and mercy of the Lord help to achieve difficult goals.
Prayer
O Most Holy Lady Lady Theotokos! With fear, faith and love, falling before Thy honorable icon, we pray to Thee: do not turn Thy face away from those who come running to You, beg, O merciful Mother, Thy Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, to keep our country peaceful and establish it in piety May she preserve her Holy Church unshakably and deliver her from unbelief, heresies and schism.
There are no other imams of help, no other imams of hope, except You, Most Pure Virgin: You are the all-powerful helper and intercessor of Christians. Deliver all who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, illnesses, troubles and from sudden death.
Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thoughts, correction of sinful lives and the remission of sins, so that we all gratefully sing of Thy greatness and mercy, shown to us here on earth, may be worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom, and there with all the saints we will glorify the most honorable and magnificent name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Song
Virgin Mary, Rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with You, blessed are You among women, and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to our Savior.
It is worthy to eat, as you are truly blessed, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption.
What requests are made with this prayer?
Even in ancient times, people believed in the power of prayer, especially that addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos. They called on her for any reason or without reason - just to thank her. If a person was sincere, pursued good goals and had faith in the Lord in his soul, then the Mother of God always interceded with Her Son and turned His gaze to one or another human problem.
So it is in the modern world. Those who fall before the icons of the Mother of God will definitely receive help. Only the prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for help in business and luck (text in Russian above) should be read with attention and deep faith in God within.
You can turn to Our Lady before starting any business - be it going on a business trip, signing an agreement, or an interview. You can call on the Most Holy Mary even when there seems to be no way out of the situation. Prayers addressed to her work real miracles. A large number of people have already become convinced of this.
So, the prayer of the Mother of God for help in matters helps in such cases:
- if a person cannot find a job for a long time;
- if the boss unfairly scolds a subordinate and lowers wages (deprives him of bonuses);
- if a person feels a lack of strength and energy to do his job;
- if a person cannot find a common language with the team;
- if there is a business trip, interview, re-examination ahead;
- if a person wants a promotion;
- if a trial is pending on a particular work issue;
- if a person is laid off or wants to be fired;
- if at work everything falls out of hand and nothing works out;
- if for a person work is like hard labor (there is no desire or strength to work).
You can ask for help from the Mother of God if there are intrigues at work, the team reacts inadequately to a person’s promotion and in every possible way puts a spoke in his wheels.
Those who hold leadership positions can also turn to the Most Holy Mary. Sometimes, a new boss cannot find a common language with his subordinates and feels negativity from others towards him. A prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos will help here.
The Mother of God will also help when hiring people. A prayer addressed to Her will make it possible to find a suitable person for a particular position.
The Mother of God will never turn away from those who perform dangerous work - rescuers, police officers, firefighters, doctors, military personnel.
People involved in trade and business should also read the prayer to the Mother of God (in Russian above). If competitors are cunning every now and then and put a spoke in the wheels, luring away customers or making bad advertising, then the Most Holy Mary will definitely help.
Also, the Mother of God will provide assistance if trade does not go well at all. If you regularly turn to Her with prayers, She will point out mistakes, help you find clients and increase profits. The main thing is good thoughts and faith in the soul.
Reading rules
The prayer is read in front of the holy image of the Kazan Mother of God. The reading time is chosen so that the house is quiet and the TV and computer are not on. The morning and evening hours are considered the most suitable: after sleep and before bedtime. But this does not mean that a person praying can get up for a prayer service without putting himself in order in the morning and wearing night clothes in the evening.
Before you pray, you need to:
- wash;
- get dressed;
- clean up your bed.
A candle consecrated in the temple is lit in front of the icon. The image must also be consecrated. Having made the sign of the cross, they mentally ask for forgiveness from the Lord, then read the “Our Father.” Reading the Lord's Prayer helps you gain a prayerful attitude. And after that they say aloud a prayer to the Mother of God. At the end they cross themselves and put out the candle.
