Prayer of Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly - For the soul...(What helps you live)

For the soul...(What helps you live)

Elder Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly (in the world V.N. Sidorenko (1928-1992)) was a pupil of the great elders of the Glinsk hermitage. He walked the path of life as a monastic novice, a wanderer-fool, a hermit monk.

Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly stood out for his high spirituality, humility, and obedience. Recently he served in the Alexander Nevsky Church in Georgia. Not of this world, the humble, meek shepherd was distinguished by a special gift from God: he healed the mentally ill and the demon-possessed. However, Father Vitaly never grumbled, he diligently thanked the Lord for everything and prayed intensely for his children, for his brothers, for his enemies...

He begged for the person, no matter how hard it cost him. Even knowing the will of God about this man, he had the boldness to beg the Almighty to grant forgiveness or alleviate the fate of the unfortunate... He spent his last years, since 1969, when the persecution of believers intensified, in “Holy Tbilisi”. At the age of 64, Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly departed to the Lord. The funeral service in front of a large crowd of believing people was performed by His Holiness Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II, co-served by the clergy of Russia, Georgia, and Ukraine. Memorial Day December 1 (New Style) As a prayerful memory, Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly left Mother N. (who was his spiritual child for 30 years) a prayer to bless the house. This prayer was read several times a day during bombings, sieges, and searches. And her house in one of the “hot” spots of the Caucasus, and the people in it, were not harmed when everything nearby and in the area was burned, smashed, and blown up.

Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly (in the world Vitaly Nikolaevich Sidorenko) during the hostilities in Tbilisi that accompanied the political coup at the turn of the 1990s, prayerfully participated in the tragic events and gave his spiritual children a special rule for protection from dangers.

He advised, in the morning, when leaving the house, to read Psalms 26, 50 and 90, and between them, at the beginning and at the end, one prayer, “Rejoice, Virgin Mary.” He added, as his spiritual children remember: “After this, if a shell or bullet explodes nearby, or a fire occurs, no trouble will touch you.” “Read Psalms 26, 50, 90, and the Lord and Mother of God will bestow Their mercies.” Those who prayed testify this way: “Whoever did this was saved with his entire household.” Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O 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 the Savior of our souls. Psalm 26 The Lord is my enlightenment and my Savior, whom will I fear? The Lord is the Protector of my life, from whom shall I fear? Sometimes those who are angry approach me and destroy my flesh; those who insult me and defeat me become exhausted and fall. Even if a regiment turns against me, my heart will not fear; Even if he fights against me, I will trust in Him. I have asked one thing from the Lord, and this I will require: that I may live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, that I may behold the beauty of the Lord, and that I may visit His holy temple. For He hid me in His village in the day of my evil, for He covered me in the secret of His village, and lifted me up on a stone. And now, behold, you have lifted up my head against my enemies: the waste and devouring in the village of His sacrifice of praise and exclamation; I will sing and make praise to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, my voice in which I cried, have mercy on me and hear me. My heart says to you: I will seek the Lord, I will seek your face, O Lord, I will seek your face. Do not turn Your face away from me and do not turn aside in anger from Your servant: be my helper, do not reject me and do not forsake me. God, my Savior. As my father and mother abandoned me. The Lord will accept me. Give me the law, O Lord, in Thy way, and guide me on the right path for my enemy’s sake. Do not betray me into the souls of those who are afflicted by me: for I have stood up as a witness of unrighteousness, and lied untruthfully to myself. I believe in seeing the good of the Lord on the land of the living. Be patient with the Lord, be of good courage, and let your heart be strong, and be patient with the Lord. Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O 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 the Savior of our souls. Psalm 50 Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your compassions, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar. Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O 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 the Savior of our souls. Psalm 90 He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap and from rebellious words, His blanket will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise look at your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but when you dash your foot against a stone, you will step on an asp and a basilisk and cross a lion and a serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will take him away and glorify him, I will fulfill him with the length of days and show him My salvation. Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O 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 the Savior of our souls “Human life is worth less and less... It has become scary to live - there is danger on all sides. Any of us can be robbed, humiliated, killed. Realizing this, people try to defend themselves; someone gets a dog, someone buys a weapon, someone turns their home into a fortress. The fear of our time has not escaped the Orthodox. How to protect yourself and your loved ones? — believers often ask. Our main defense is the Lord Himself, without His Holy will, as the Scripture says, not a hair of our head will fall (Luke 21:18). God has given us the greatest shrines to protect us from visible enemies. This is, first of all, a Christian shield - a pectoral cross, which cannot be removed under any circumstances. Secondly, holy water and artos, eaten every morning "(Hegumen Pachomius (Bruskov). Christians are also protected by prayer, by which God sends us His all-powerful help. Orthodox parents must certainly cross their child if he goes out alone. Great The ninetieth psalm has power, this prayer is a powerful protection from any evil, both from unkind people and from demons. The Lord God gives great protection to those who pray by reading Psalm 26. Thus, St. Ambrose of Optina wrote: “You will see by experience , how great is the power of inspired psalm words, which scorch and drive away enemies like a flame." Sergei Nilus recalled in his book “On the Bank of God's River” how one day he and his wife Elena Alexandrovna came to the Optina Elder Father John (Salov): “The Elder accepted with the joyful affection characteristic of him towards my wife and me. “Take a stool,” he said, hugging me, “sit down next to me.” “What psalms do you read?” he asked me a question. I was embarrassed: usually in my short, purely worldly, not even a rule, but a rule, I didn’t read any psalms. “I know,” I answered, ““Alive in Help”, “Have Mercy on Me, O God”... - And what others! “Yes, father, I have read all the psalms and, although not by heart, I know everything; but my little rule... The elder interrupted my self-justification: “I don’t want to ask you about what is your rule, but about whether you still read Psalm 26 - “The Lord is my enlightenment?” - No, father, I don’t read. - Well, so I’ll tell you what! You once told me that the enemy was shooting his arrows at you. Do not be afraid! not a single one will touch you, don’t be afraid of any rubbish: rubbish will remain rubbish. Just take my advice as a rule, listen: read in the morning and evening before your prayer both of these psalms - the 26th and the 90th, and before them the great Arkhangelsk joy - “Virgin Mother of God, rejoice.” If you do this, neither the fire will take you, nor the water will drown you... At these words, the elder stood up from his chair, hugged me and with some special strength, in a rolling ringing voice, he didn’t even say, but shouted out: “I’ll tell you more: it won't explode with a bomb! I kissed the old man’s hand that hugged me. And he again, pressing himself close to my ear, again exclaimed loudly: “And the bomb won’t explode!” * And don’t pay any attention to any rubbish: what can rubbish do to you?... That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Well, now go with the Lord! And with these words the elder sent us away in peace. * “And the bomb will not explode!..” Prediction of Fr. John (Salov) was exactly fulfilled during the Civil War. According to the memoirs of M.V. Smirnova-Orlova, Elena Alexandrovna told her that once, when she and her husband were riding in a carriage under fire, a bomb exploded next to them, but they were not hit at all.” Schema-Archimandrite Vitaly (in the world Vitaly Nikolaevich Sidorenko) also blessed the reading of these psalms to those who are in danger. During the military operations in Tbilisi that accompanied the political coup at the turn of the 1990s, he prayerfully participated in the tragic events and gave his spiritual children a special rule for protection from dangers. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, you can also pray: “May God rise again,” or “To the chosen victorious Voivode” (the first kontakion from the akathist to the Theotokos), or simply “Lord, have mercy,” repeatedly. We must resort to prayer even when another person is being threatened before our eyes, but we lack the strength and courage to rush to his aid. Prayer to the Honest Cross May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His face. As smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts in the presence of fire, so let demons perish from the face of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and who say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by force on you of our Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled upon the power the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen. A very strong prayer to the saints of God, who became famous for their military skills during their lifetime: Saints George the Victorious, Theodore Stratelates, Demetrius Donskoy. Let's not forget about Archangel Michael, our Guardian Angel. All of them have God’s special power to give the weak strength to overcome their enemies. Blog. RIA_SVIT
