Amen.
Prayer in illness and before surgery to Saint Luke
They also pray to the saints before the operation, especially to Saint Luke, Bishop of Crimea:
Saint Luke Voino-Yasenetsky was a surgeon, a pioneer in his field. His book about purulent surgery has helped many doctors. After the death of his wife, he accepted the priesthood, then became a bishop. In those difficult times, being ordained meant signing your own death warrant. He was arrested many times and sent to hard labor. And everywhere he served the Liturgy and treated the sick. Returning from exile, he continued to serve and perform operations, to which he came in a cassock and with a cross. Before surgery, he always prayed, asked the patient to pray and drew a cross on the patient's body with iodine.
One woman, after Luke’s canonization, prayed to him before the operation and asked him to guide the doctor’s hands. Operation was successfully completed. When she woke up from anesthesia, she saw a cross painted with iodine on her body. Then she realized who helped the doctor perform the operation.
Prayer of St. Luke:
O all-blessed confessor, holy saint, our Father Luke, great servant of Christ! With tenderness we bend the knee of our hearts and fall before the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like the children of our father, we pray to you with all our zeal: hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the All-Merciful and Humane God. We believe that you love us with the same love with which you loved all your neighbors while you were on earth. Ask Christ our God that He may establish in His holy Orthodox Church the spirit of right faith and piety; May its shepherds give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them: to observe the right of the believer, to strengthen the weak and infirm in the faith, to instruct the ignorant, and to reprove the contrary. Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation: the establishment of our cities, the fruitfulness of the land, deliverance from famine and destruction, consolation for the grieving, healing for the sick, return to the path of truth for those who have gone astray, blessing for the parent, blessing for the child. in the Passion of the Lord, education and teaching, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy. Grant us all your archpastoral and holy blessing, so that through you we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms. Grant us a godly way to cross the path of temporary life, set us on the path that leads to the villages of the righteous, deliver us from airy ordeals and pray to the all-powerful God for us, so that in eternal life with you we may unceasingly glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, to Him belongs all glory and honor. and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Troparion to Saint Luke
Glorification of Saint Luke:
We magnify you, confessor of Christ to our holy hierarch Luke, and honor your holy memory, for you pray for us to Christ our God.
Then it is better to give the patient communion at home or in the hospital, submit a note for him in church, and order a thanksgiving prayer. We must not forget about thanksgiving. The Savior gave us an example in the Gospel of Luke, when one healed of leprosy returned to thank Him.
Prayer in illness and before surgery to the healer Panteleimon
Before the operation they also pray to the holy healer Panteleimon. He lived in the first centuries of Christianity, treating people with medicine and prayer. The saint accepted martyrdom for Christ.
Here is a prayer to Saint Panteleimon:
Oh, great saint of Christ, passion-bearer and merciful physician Panteleimon! Have mercy on me, the sinful servant of God (name), hear my groaning and cry, have mercy on the Heavenly Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, may He grant me healing from the cruel illness that oppresses me. Accept the unworthy prayer of the most sinful man above all. Visit me with a gracious visit. Do not disdain my sinful ulcers, anoint them with the oil of your mercy and heal me; May I be healthy in soul and body, and with the help of God’s grace, I can spend the rest of my days in repentance and pleasing God, and be worthy of receiving the good end of my life. Hey, servant of God! Pray to Christ God, that through your intercession he may grant me the health of my body and the salvation of my soul. Amen

Troparion, tone 2
God-wise, blessed old lady Matrona,/ the prosperity of the land of Tula/ and the glorious adornment of the city of Moscow,/ let us praise today, faithful ones./ For this, having not known the light of day,/ with the light of Christ I was enlightened by you / and enriched with the gift of insight and healing. / The solitary and wanderer on having formerly been earth,/ now stands before the Throne of God in the heavenly realms// and prays for our souls.
Translation: Let us glorify the blessed old woman Matrona, wise by God, who flourished on the Tula land and gloriously adorned the city of Moscow, today, believers.

Having been a migrant and a wanderer on earth, now in the palaces of Heaven the throne of God stands and prays for our souls.
The meaning and significance of bodily illnesses
Not a single person manages to avoid suffering and illness in life, however, one often hears the opinion that illness is a punishment for one’s own or ancestral sins. This is an extremely wrong approach - God does not punish a person in the primitive sense of the word, but admonishes him, so when you get sick, you need to ask the question not “for what?”, but “for what?” . As a rule, through this the Lord wants to bring us closer to Himself, if it does not work out otherwise.
Saint Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky): “For an unbeliever, an unchurched person, or a person stricken by passions, illness gives an opportunity and a reason to turn to God. The possibility is that the patient who stops working has more free time; a person is predominantly in a monotonous hospital or home environment and is deprived of “the impressions of worldly life with its noise and bustle, which distracts from delving into the recesses of the spirit.”
Of course, you can and should pray for your healing and for the deliverance of your loved ones, and numerous responses to our appeals testify to this, however, even if the illness has not subsided, you need to try to accept it with humility and turn it to the benefit of your soul.
Don’t forget to read the article: “We thank Matrona of Moscow for her help.”
The fundamentals of the social concept of the Russian Orthodox Church formulate the attitude towards illness for a believer as follows: “Maintaining physical health in isolation from spiritual health from the Orthodox point of view is not an absolute value. The Lord Jesus Christ, preaching in word and deed, healed people, caring not only for their body, but especially for their soul, and ultimately, for the whole personality. According to the words of the Savior Himself, he healed “the whole man” <...> When human means are exhausted, a Christian must remember that the power of God is made perfect in human weakness and that in the very depths of suffering he is able to meet Christ, who took upon himself our weaknesses and illnesses "

Where and how to read Matronushka’s prayer for health?
During her lifetime, Matrona did not refuse to help anyone, generously sharing the God-given gift of healing soul and body. Every prayer to Matronushka for health and healing will be heard - no matter where or when it is said. There are several ways in which Orthodox Christians turn to the Holy One.
A pilgrimage to the Intercession Convent in Moscow, where the relics of St. Matrona are buried and where Orthodox Christians come from all over Russia to ask for the health of the sick, to tell the holy old woman about their sorrows and fears. Requests for women's health are considered especially effective if supported by a visit to the Holy Burial Place of Matrona of Moscow.
In any Orthodox church you can light a candle for the remembrance of Matrona Nikonova and read a prayer to Saint Matrona of Moscow for health.
The prayer for healing can be read at home at any time. The main thing is with all the sincerity of feelings, passing every word through the heart, with hope and humility.
A little biography
Matrona was born blind in 1881. Despite her physical handicap, from childhood the girl learned to see with her inner gaze, possessing unique intuition and developed sensitivity. The saint could predict events that took place several decades later. Matrona protected many people from trouble and danger.
Matrona’s Christian prayer was distinguished by amazing depth and sincerity. The saint often spent time in the local church, where she could pray for several hours. Despite her blindness, the girl went to the icons, and she could distinguish who was depicted on them.
At the age of eighteen, the girl had another problem: her legs stopped working. However, Matrona found enough strength in herself to endure this disease.
Throughout her life, the saint wandered. She had to change her place of residence many times. At the same time, there was no personal shelter. The light of Christ was visible even in the darkness, and many people understood how miraculous the request of a woman of amazing character and spirit could be.
Matrona received a large number of people who needed consolation, prudent advice, psychological support and prayer. Nowadays, prayers for health still continue to work.
Matronushka was born in the Tula province, but then she moved to Moscow. The girl did not have housing, but she rejoiced at any corner provided, including in a plywood shack, characterized by dampness and low temperature in the room.
Matrona never complained about life and her illnesses, and showed fortitude. The last years passed with a fatal illness, but the elderly woman received strings of people and could not refuse anyone, and she always understood when people asked for good health and protection for their close relatives, she went to the meeting not only for the living, but also for those who wished for a good birth and ideal health for their unborn child were worried about the course of pregnancy.
Matrona healed many sick people, but she noted that only God acts, so even today we need to understand that healings are received from the Lord.
About healing and intercession
Holy Mother Matronushka! You are an intercessor for all people, save me in my misfortune (request). Do not forget me with help, intercession, ask the Lord for the servant of God (name). In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Amen.
Beloved Mother Matrona, our protector, intercessor before God! You look with your spiritual eye into the past, into the future, you know everything. Instruct the servant of God (name), give advice, see the path to solving sorrows (request). Thank you for your help. In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Amen.
When to Say a Prayer
Orthodox clergy and believers are of the opinion that prayer must be offered daily. Regardless of whether you have the opportunity to visit a church or temple. Since Mother Matrona is considered one of the most revered saints in Orthodoxy, in case of illness it is recommended to read a prayer to Matrona for the recovery of the mother.
Such a petition should be read in the evening or morning as a separate one. It is necessary to read it only after you have said a prayer to the Almighty. But for it to be effective, it is recommended to pronounce it only in cases when your mother really needs the help of the Almighty. Orthodox prayer for the mother and her health provides the following assistance:
- Eliminates emotional distress.
- Relieves mental pain.
- Helps significantly reduce physical pain.
- Helps get rid of many diseases.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this prayer is considered the most powerful for the health of the mother.
About pregnancy and healing of female diseases
Blessed Mother Matrona, we resort to your intercession, we tearfully pray to you. As you who have great boldness in the Lord, pour out a warm prayer for your servants, who are in deep spiritual sorrow, asking for help from you. Truly is the word of the Lord: Ask, it will be given to you again: even if two of you give counsel to the earth, whatever you ask, it will be given to you from My Father who is in Heaven.
Hear our sighs of woe, bring the Lord to the throne, where you stand before us, as the prayer of a righteous man can do much before God. May the Lord not completely forget us, but look down from the heights of heaven on the sorrow of His servants and bestow the fruit of the womb for something useful. Truly, God wants, so do the Lord to Abraham and Sarah, Zechariah and Elizabeth, Joachim and Anna, pray with him. May the Lord God do this to us out of His mercy, inexpressible love for mankind. Blessed be the name of the Lord from now to eternity. Amen.
For schizophrenia
Blessed Matronushka, In the arms of prayer I bring to You my son (daughter, father, mother...by name). In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I bind you, the spirit of schizophrenia, I command you to leave my son (daughter...) forever. Holy Spirit, touch the heart, mind of my son (daughter...), fill Him with Your Divine peace and tranquility in the name of Jesus Christ .
Clear his/her mind of all negative thoughts. Renew your mind and fill it with Your content. Let rivers of living water flow through him (her) right now. Brain, recover! May complete balance of the left and right brains come in Jesus name.
May complete balance come to every cell of his (her) nature. Guide my son (daughter...) on the path of truth and grant him (her) life and life in abundance. Open the heart of my son (daughter...) for sincere repentance and salvation. Thank you for freeing my son (daughter...) from the spirit of schizophrenia and completely recovering from this illness. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
What not to do
Over the years of veneration of Matrona, general traditions have arisen that are associated with what the righteous woman loved during her lifetime. Before addressing her, it is traditional to bring treats to those sitting near the church. The poor are presented with cookies, raisins, and crackers - Matrona considered these treats to be the most delicious. It is customary to bring flowers to the relics; the saint was especially favorable to lilacs and chrysanthemums.
Before turning to Matrona, they always read a short prayer addressed to the Lord, only after that they turn to the righteous woman. Words should always be sincere, filled with faith and hope. The priests emphasize that when contacting Matrona, one cannot set conditions or promise to behave well in the future. Help can only be expected if there is true faith and deep repentance.
Important! But the most important thing is not the time and place of prayer, but sincere faith in the Lord and humility, because He may not give a positive answer to a person, but always cares about his good.
How to pray correctly
In each case, strong prayer can help a believer who really hopes for the good health of his child or parents. Independent prayers, in which deep faith and hope for the best are invested, can work real miracles.
After Mother’s passing, miracles continue to happen: healings, finding housing and a strong family, improving personal life and pregnancy, because in many cases the saint can help. If necessary, a girl can beg for women's health for herself, and then for a long life for her newborn daughter or little son.
The prayer can be read for various needs. The text of the prayer can be read in Russian or Church Slavonic, but in any case, only the Orthodox version should be used. When contacting, you need to show sincerity and deep faith in help.
Believers advise giving alms before prayer, helping the poor, or bringing a donation to a temple or monastery. Matrona of Moscow can help everyone, and the prayer will be especially strong if you ask for help for your mother or father, your child, wife or husband.
