Prayer to Spyridon of Trimifuntsky

His earthly life was filled with miracles, helping the suffering, love and care for people. Its protection extends to those engaged in business and trade. Whether it's selling successfully in a store that is famous for its attractive products and offering your services to wealthy people, or praying for help to sell an item that cannot be sold, secure a good deal, or protect the market.
O great and wondrous saint of Christ and wonderworker Spyridon of Kerkyra, full of light, full of splendor, fervent in prayer to God and intercessor of all who come running to you and pray with faith. You most gloriously expounded the Orthodox faith at the Council of Nicaea among the fathers, demonstrated with miraculous power the unity of the Holy Trinity and put the heretics to shame. Hear us sinners, the saints of Christ, beseeching You, and through Your intercession deliver us from all evil circumstances: from hunger, from floods, from fire and from deadly plagues. During your lifetime, you saved your people from all these misfortunes: you saved your country from the invasion of loons and from famine; saved his king from an incurable disease; led many sinners to repentance; gloriously raised the dead; for the holiness of your life you had angels who, invisible in the church, sang and ministered to you. So, let us worship You, Lord Christ, Your faithful servant, for You can understand all the secret deeds of people and expose those who live unrighteously. You have helped many living in need and hardship, you have abundantly fed the poor in times of famine, and you have performed many signs by the power of the Spirit of God who dwells in you. Therefore, do not forsake us, O holy Christ, beg the Lord at the throne of the Most High to forgive us our many sins, to grant us a peaceful and pleasant life, to give us an undefiled and peaceful end, and to grant us eternal blessing, so that we may give thanks and glory to the Father and the Son , and to the Holy Spirit, now and always, and unto ages of ages.
What rules must be followed
They make petitions to various saints. It doesn't matter who it is. You can pray in church and at home. In the latter case, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:
- purchase an icon of the saint to whom the appeal will be directed;
- stay alone so that there are no distractions;
- tune in and discard bad thoughts, relax;
- light a candle near the image and cross yourself three times before and after the petition;
- read prayers daily with strong faith and good intentions;
- mentally imagine the face of the saint and how the words reach him;
- ask that the product be useful to the buyer and serve for a long time.
It is prohibited to pray while intoxicated. Before asking, you should observe a short fast. This will help cleanse your body and soul from everyday sins.
It is good if a person often attends divine services, confession and communion. Also, for petitions to help the merchant, you yourself need to be a kind person and work honestly.
You shouldn't wish harm on your competitors. Otherwise, there is no need to rely on the help of the saints.
Prayer must be said meaningfully. This is not just a set of words, but living communication with the Lord. Sincere faith in God's help will justify itself.
You can also address the saints in your own words. The main thing is that they come from the heart. If for a person trade is his life’s work, then it is better to use different texts for petition. When it is not possible to pray daily, then it is imperative to do this before trading.

How Seraphim became the patron of trade
Saint Seraphim of Sarov was born in the city of Kursk. Real name Prokhor Moshin. His father was a merchant. In the last years of his life he was engaged in the construction of a temple. But he died without finishing the work.
The boy remained with his mother, who was a believer and instilled in her son love for the Lord. Over time, the woman continued her husband’s work - she continued to build a church. Prokhor often came to the construction site and once fell from the bell tower, but remained unharmed.
Since childhood, the boy had outstanding mental abilities. He quickly learned the basics of science and read the Holy Scriptures in the evenings with his peers. Once, during a severe illness, the boy saw the Most Holy Theotokos in a dream.
She showed him a quick recovery. The other day there was a religious procession near Prokhor’s house. The mother took her son outside. There he leaned his forehead against the icon of the Virgin Mary. After this, a miracle happened - the boy immediately began to recover.
At a young age, Prokhor decided to become a monk. He dreamed of this since childhood, and his mother did not object to this decision. One day he went with pilgrims to the Sarov Hermitage, where he was blessed by Elder Doritheus.
A few years later he again became seriously ill with dropsy. The patient's body was swollen, but he did not allow doctors to approach him. After three years of torment, Saint Mary appeared to Prokhor with the apostles and performed the following actions:
- pointed to the sufferer and announced that he was one of them;
- touched his body and water poured out of him.
The man of Sarov took the name Seraphim after being tonsured. The monk died in 1833 while praying, kneeling. Lived over 70 years.
During his life, Sarovsky created many miracles and prophecies. He was awarded this gift for his exploits before the Lord. This was a man who sacrificed his own interests for the sake of those around him. Among his benefits are the following:
- Insight - everyone was given an answer to the question posed. He consoled and helped with words.
- Healing - seriously ill people turned to him. Seraphim did everything in his power to heal.
- Detachment - he often took a vow of silence and immersed himself in a state of prayer. Although he was very active, he spent a lot of time reading sacred books. He said it gave him strength.
In the 19th century, the saint was considered a man of prayer who dedicated his words to all of Russia. His canonization took place at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Pilgrims venerate the relics of the saint, expecting the fulfillment of desires and the gift of grace. He helps in the field of trade, because he himself came from a merchant family.

O wonderful Father Seraphim, great Sarov wonderworker, quick and obedient helper to all who come running to you! During the days of your earthly life, no one was tired of you or comforted by your departure, but everyone was blessed by the vision of your face and the benevolent voice of your words.

Seraphim of Sarov is one of the most revered saints in Orthodoxy. He became famous for his piety and gift of healing during his lifetime. Today people turn to him for help and advice in difficult life situations; businessmen often pray to him for good luck in trading.
After the petition
Prayer has no criteria for action. Many indicate that it can help a person in business and change his life. But don't expect things to improve immediately. A miracle can happen at any time: in a day, a year, or even several years, although many say that the result does not come immediately.
Don't be discouraged if something doesn't work out. A merchant, despite everything, must strengthen his faith. You should also not think that after reading the prayer, you don’t have to work. Money will not fall from the sky on its own. You need to make every effort to achieve results.
There is information that speaks of miraculous help. Many indicate that after the prayer process they experience grace. What this is is difficult to explain in words, but if a person feels it, he will immediately understand what was discussed.
When an entrepreneur manages to properly organize the trading process and this brings him income, it is necessary to periodically donate part of the money to those in need and feed homeless animals. The amount of alms does not matter. In this way, a person will make his contribution to world justice.
After receiving what you want, you should thank the Higher Powers for the help provided. The following text is suitable for this:
Prayer for the sale of real estate: houses, cottages, land
When a person is selling his own real estate, his desire to conclude a profitable deal is understandable. Sincere prayer will help with this. It will eliminate seemingly insurmountable obstacles and attract good buyers.
To successfully sell a house, you need to perform the following prayer ritual. To do this, you need to purchase 7 candles from the temple in advance. After an advertisement for the sale of real estate has been submitted, you should, all alone at midnight in one of the rooms, place all seven candles in a circle. In the center you need to put a plan of the house, apartment or cottage that you plan to sell, and after that the candles need to be lit.
Next, fully concentrating on thoughts about selling real estate, you should read the following prayer seven times in front of the icon of the Savior:
“Lord, Almighty and All-Merciful, I, the Servant of God (proper name), turn to you for help. Forgive all my sins, known and unknown, for they were all committed out of my own foolishness. Accept my sincere repentance and hear my plea for help. Tell me the true path and deliver me from the temptation of the devil. Make these walls attractive to buyers. I really want to sell this home as soon as possible. Let the first buyer enter it and pick it up right away. Help me, Lord, to complete the deal in my favor so that I can get as much money as I want. I promise that I will spend it for a good cause. I light church candles, ask the Lord Almighty to help me, and the dark night will also help me with this. As the church candles repay with wax, I will betray them to holy earth, after which I will soon sell my property at a profit. Amen".
After this, you should sit in silence, thinking about the upcoming profitable deal, until the candles burn out naturally. After this, you need to collect the cinders and take them outside to bury them in a deserted place.
It is very important not to tell anyone about the ritual performed.
