If a son leaves his father's house
Children sooner or later grow up and fly away from the safe and cozy parental nest. The prayer, the text of which is given below, can be used by a mother when her son leaves to study in another city and begins to build his life separately from his parents. It is recommended to say the words twice a day - morning and evening.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary

If the words come from the heart with deep faith that help will be provided, the dear child will definitely receive it. The mother’s prayer addressed to her for her son is strong and effective. It is a kind of amulet for a child, quite powerful and effective.
Oh, Most Holy Lady Virgin Mary, save and preserve under Your roof my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, beseech my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Cover of Your servants.
You should not think that only caring for your little son is important and necessary. Indeed, it requires protection and increased attention. However, a child who has already flown out of the parental nest needs help and care, so a mother’s prayer for an adult son will not be superfluous - the Mother of God will not leave him without her protection.
Strong son protection
The Most Holy Theotokos is the most loving mother and protector of children. Say praises to the Heavenly Mother every day, and she will protect your children from all troubles.
By the will of the Lord you were sent to me, my guardian angel, protector and trustee. Therefore, I appeal to you in difficult times in my prayer, so that you protect me from great trouble.
Those invested with earthly power oppress me, and I have no other defense than the heavenly power, which stands over us all and rules our world. Holy angel, protect me from oppression and insults from those who have risen above me. Protect me from their injustice, for for this reason I suffer innocently.
I forgive, as God taught, these people their sins against me, for the Lord has exalted those who were exalted above me and is testing me with this. All this is the will of God, but from everything that is beyond the will of God, save me, my guardian angel. What I ask of you in my prayer. Amen.
When speaking, it is necessary to delve into the meaning of each phrase. You must feel them, understand what sensations awaken in your heart.

Soon trade affairs improved and the merchant himself began to help those in need.
Saint Nicholas the Pleasant also became famous as the intercessor of the unjustly accused. Once in the city of Myra, three innocent husbands were sentenced to death. The saint stopped the executioner and exposed the selfish judge.

How to pray correctly
- Address the Saints in the morning and in the sacred room . There is no need to go to church. Organize a “sacred corner” in your apartment.
- Before reading the holy phrases, be sure to prepare : wash, revive yourself, clear your thoughts, be silent for a couple of minutes. Anger and other negative emotions must be released. Don't hold a grudge against your offenders.
- Say a prayer in front of the icons , kneeling.
- When talking with God, there is no need to remember specific phrases . Prayer must come from the very depths of the soul - this is much more effective. Be sure to believe in the favor of the Lord and then He will certainly hear you.
- Sometimes when asking, extraneous thoughts arise. Know that they are from Satan . They need to be driven away like annoying flies. At this moment, say: “Our Father, guide us on the right path of prayer, Amen.” And begin the praise again.
- Words should be pronounced without haste - no need to chat a lot and swallow endings. It is better not to express, but to sing prayers, as priests do.
- Do not forget to bow to the ground and also cross yourself . In this way you thank the Saint for his favor. Ask Him for strong protection for the boy in professional, personal or spiritual growth.
