October 21, 2022 at 6:55 pm
Prayer to Saint Sampson helps get rid of illnesses, find a roof over your head, and gives consolation in sorrows. The monk received such grace from God for his holy life and great desire to help people.

The future saint was born in Rome and came from a rich and noble family. Thanks to this, he was able to receive an excellent education and study to become a doctor. However, the holy Venerable Sampson the Host directed his mind and knowledge not towards his own enrichment, but towards free service to his neighbors. Left an orphan, he distributed all his wealth to those in need, and went to serve God in Constantinople. There he opened a shelter for the poor, where he provided them with a roof over their heads and treated them without charging for it. Soon the rumor about the miraculous prayers to Elder Sampson spread throughout the surrounding area, and the local patriarch ordained him as a priest.

August 24 is the day of remembrance of Elder Hieroschemamonk Sampson Sivers

Traditions and rituals of July 10

July 10th is haymaking time. The amount of hay harvested determines how livestock will survive the winter. That's why people spend the whole day in the field. Adults cut the grass, and children spread it on the ground so that it dries faster.

People pray to Saint Sampson. They ask him to let the day pass without rain, which makes mowing difficult or impossible.

In some regions, on this national holiday, horse owners bring their animals to the church and ask the priest to sprinkle them with holy water. In this way they protect horses from the evil eye and the machinations of evil spirits.

On what days are dreams prophetic?

Although for such a dream, sent by the Lord himself, the days of the calendar have no meaning, for the person asking for a vision they are often important. There is no contradiction in this, since people who rely on the help of higher powers and wait for sleep are often confused and are ready to take any little thing that does not have such meaning as a sign or message.

A dream in hand, as people say, is often a dream on certain days. For example, according to popular belief, such dreams visit people at night from Monday to Tuesday and at the end of the week.

History of the All-Merciful Prayer

One day Seraphim of Sarov appeared to Simeon in a dream. He bent over the elder and read the prayer “My All-Merciful Lady” with tears in his eyes that flowed down the monk’s forehead.

We recommend studying Psalm 35

When he woke up, he immediately wrote down the sacred text. Three hours later, Sievers was arrested. Prayer accompanied him throughout the 18 years he spent in the camps. “The All-Merciful” helped him pass difficult trials.

  1. “Tram” - terrible torture of the Bolsheviks, when many people were placed in a cell so that they could not even move. The premises were closed for three weeks. Many in this situation died and continued to stand with the living. But Simeon managed to survive. He never gave up the keys to the storerooms.
  2. Solovki - the torture here was very cruel. Hungry rats were allowed into the prisoners' basements and ate people alive. But the rodents did not bite the old man. They only ran over his legs.

When to ask for a prophetic dream?

The time for prayer is also not particularly important. But nevertheless, it is customary to ask the Mother of God, the saints, or the Lord himself for the sending of prophetic dreams immediately before going to bed. This is due to the characteristics of human consciousness.

In the morning and afternoon hours, the human brain is busy with worries and troubles. Accordingly, concentrating on the spoken prayer is quite difficult, and often completely impossible. For this reason, it is customary to pray at the hours when the day is over, worries and affairs are completed, and the mind is preparing for night rest.

Ikos 5

Seeing that he had fallen into an unhealed illness, King Justinian called upon many of the most skillful doctors: but for those who were unable to heal him, cry out with tears to God, diligently asking for healing. Moreover, having mercy, the Lord, in a night vision, showed him you, Father, as a gracious physician, able to heal him; and the king, warm with faith, called you, with a tender kiss and with tears, prayed that through you he would be healed, and therefore be healthy. Knowing this, we call to you, venerable one: Rejoice, servant of the Most High King, His prosperous messenger to the earthly king; Rejoice, all-round physician, who miraculously healed the ailing king’s illness through healing grace. Rejoice, comforter of the sorrowful, fill the joys that flow to you; Rejoice, joy of the faithful, who brought joy in the Lord to the king and his people through healing. Rejoice, wondrous one without money, you have renounced the rich gifts of the king, gold and silver; Rejoice, most merciful and hospitable to strangers, who moved the king’s heart to create a host of strangers and a physician. Rejoice, wonderful builder, having no gold and silver, creating a monastery enriched for the sick and poor; Rejoice, you who loved the poor and who served most in your monastery even to the end. Rejoice, Sampson, merciful father and wonderful physician.

Prayer to Elder Sampson Sivers: the most powerful, all-merciful

For his righteous life and great desire to help people, the elder received grace from God. He is unfairly little known in Russia, although he is a great Christian saint. The most powerful prayer to Sampson Sievers promotes healing, gives consolation in sorrows, and helps in various needs.

From the life of the saint

Sampson was born in 1898. His worldly name was Edward. He received his first religious experience from his English mother. His grandfather was a famous icon painter. His icons can be seen in St. Petersburg. One of them accompanied the hieromonk throughout his life. Since childhood, Sivers showed a craving for the church, for the Lord. It manifested itself as follows:

  • visited churches of different faiths;
  • read spiritual literature in different languages;
  • was constantly present at liturgies;
  • I prayed a lot.

I repeated the prayer “For every time and every hour” 100-200 times a day. When he was wondering which faith was more truthful, during a prayer service an insight came to him. He converted to Orthodoxy in secret from his family, so as not to upset his mother.

After Confirmation was performed on Sivers and he received communion, he received the name Sergius. He became a novice at the Savvo-Krypetsky Monastery when he met the monks of this monastery. The monk gave very deep sermons that did not leave anyone indifferent.

But the civil war began. In 1919, armed Bolsheviks came to the elder’s cell and captured him. He was kept in prison for about 22 days and, together with the bandits, was taken out to be shot. Going to his death, the monk had no fear, because he trusted only in the will of the Lord. He was not killed; he was only wounded in the arm.

In 1922, Sergius took monastic vows with the name Simeon. That same year he was appointed hierodeacon. And soon Sivers became a hieromonk. Father was also the treasurer, so he had all the keys to the storerooms.

What are the features?

A prayer for a prophetic dream, like any other, is not said simply, as they say, “in vain.” Prayer is not ordering a dream for a betrothed or something similar. Prayer, whatever it is and whatever it concerns, should reflect the true needs of a person, and not momentary breakthroughs, desires or whims.

This means that the person praying actually needs what he is asking for. A prayer addressed to higher powers has nothing to do with techniques that teach how to order sleep. Prophetic daydreaming and lucid dreaming are not the same thing. Prophetic dreams are uncontrollable, they are sent from above and give a person hints, answers to his questions, and warn about any possible event in life. They cannot be controlled or summoned at will.

Reverend Sampson the Host

The chambers of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian were stuffy, twilight reigned, and smelled of overseas medicines. The patient’s heavy, intermittent breathing could be heard: a fatal illness had confined the ruler to his bed. All his numerous doctors threw up their hands: they could do nothing to help the emperor. There was only one hope left: the dying Justinian began to earnestly, with tears, pray to God, asking Him for help and salvation. One day, dozing off from exhaustion, the ruler saw in a dream a humble man dressed as a priest, about whom Justinian was told that only he could heal the emperor. As soon as the monarch woke up, he immediately sent his servants to look for the wonderful doctor; They walked all over Constantinople, but could not find him. Then one of the royal servants remembered his friend the doctor, priest Sampson. Justinian ordered that they quickly find him and bring him to the palace. The emperor immediately recognized the healer promised in a dream in Sampson and joyfully hugged him. With one touch of his hand, Sampson healed the sick king. Grateful Justinian was ready to give the one who cured him everything that Sampson asked for, offering him a lot of gold and silver. But the modest doctor refused the generous gifts. The only thing he asked Justinian to do was to build a hospice house and a hospital for the residents of Constantinople. The emperor gladly fulfilled the healer's request: he built a large magnificent building, which became known as Sampson's Hospice House.

Reverend Sampson the Host was born in Rome into the family of a wealthy patrician. Since childhood, the boy dreamed of how he would help the sick and suffering, and for this he strove to get a good medical education. And his cherished wish came true: Sampson became one of the most qualified doctors of his time, and many patients came to him with their ailments and injuries. He treated everyone free of charge, and the young doctor settled those who needed long-term care in his vast estate, providing them not only with shelter, food and treatment, but also with consolation in prayer and the most tender care.

When his parents died, Sampson set all his slaves free, wanting to serve other people. He also distributed his inheritance to the poor and needy, fulfilling in practice the advice given by the Savior to the rich young man: “if you want to be perfect, go, sell your property and give it to the poor; and you will have treasure in Heaven.”

Soon Sampson moved to the capital of Byzantium - Constantinople. Here he settled in a poor hut and led a very simple and modest life. Many patients visited the famous doctor, especially those who were abandoned by other doctors: lepers, the blind, the paralyzed, the possessed. The fame of Sampson spread throughout Constantinople. The desperate, who had previously spent all their funds on useless medicines, received healing from his healing art and prayers. Hearing about Sampson’s godly life, the Patriarch of Constantinople called him to himself and ordained him as a priest.

After the healing of the emperor, Sampson took over the leadership of the Hospice House of Constantinople, built at his request by Justinian. It had a well-equipped hospital, with an outpatient clinic and a hospital, consisting of various departments: surgical, infectious diseases, maternity and others. Professional doctors worked in the hospital, and experienced monks cared for the patients. In addition to the sick, all beggars and vagabonds were received here, giving them shelter and food. Emperor Justinian donated several estates to the Hospice House to pay for its maintenance.

Until a very old age, the Reverend Sampson the Host selflessly and diligently served his neighbors. And to this day, miraculous healings are performed through his prayers.

Miracle Prayer to Sampson

The Monk Samson was the son of noble and wealthy Romans. He received a good education, studied the art of medicine and helped the sick for free. After the death of his parents, he released the slaves and was going to go into the desert. But, by the will of the Lord, Sampson ended up in Constantinople, where, settling in a modest home, he treated and helped the sick, the poor and wanderers. The Lord blessed him and gave him the power to work miracles. Sampson healed the sick not only with medical knowledge, but also with the power of the divine word. Rumor of Sampson's Prayer

spread widely in Constantinople. Soon, by decree of the Patriarch, Sampson became a priest.

Miracle healings from prayer to Sampson

One day, the seriously ill Emperor Justinian had a vision that his healing was possible, and he could receive it through Saint Sampson. The saint was summoned to the emperor, and indeed, the prayer of Hieromonk Sampson worked a miracle - the emperor immediately felt relief, and soon the illness completely disappeared. Justin wanted to thank the saint with gold, but he refused and asked, instead of thanking himself, to build a hospital for everyone and a hospice. The emperor fulfilled the request. The saint devoted his entire life to serving people. After the death of the saint, miracles of healing people also continue.

How to ask Samson?

The most famous, short, old and simple prayer to Samson for a dream resembles a saying or a conspiracy. It sounds like this:

Reverend Samson, send me a prophetic dream.

It is believed that this phrase should be said before going to bed, without thinking about anything and already half asleep, and the request will definitely be heard.

However, not every person, falling asleep, is able to utter even a short phrase with a clear mind. You can also pray before going to bed. Words of prayer could be:

In the name of the Lord our God, Saint Samson, I pray to you for mercy and intercession. I pray my mind clears up. I pray that you give me, God’s servant (proper name), clarity of thought and show you the way. I pray to deliver you from fears and doubts, from evil thoughts and despair. I pray that I do not allow sin in my life and doubt in faith. I pray that you show me, God’s servant (proper name), the path on which it’s time to step, point out evil enemies and dispel the clouds over my head. Amen.

Apologist

In the 80s, I read the book by Elder Sampson, which is mentioned here. Then I studied at the Leningrad Theological Seminary in the regency department. I really liked the book and gave it to my husband to read. At first he also liked the book, and then, as he read it, he suddenly said: “There’s something wrong here!”

Although I defended the elder, I myself noticed that his children, mostly women, were praying with some kind of anguish, as if in a fire, without paying attention to anyone. Such sensual prayer is not welcomed in Orthodoxy

The elder's children have huge portraits of him hanging in their homes. It’s also somehow strange and not modest. Restless nuns walk around Leningrad, ordained by the elder in abundance. And it was especially alarming that this same old man broke up marriages. I already knew several single women who were divorced with his “blessing.” My husband and I went with this book to our confessor, Father Vladimir Zalipsky. If anyone doesn’t know, I’ll say that Father Vladimir was a priest of high spiritual life. And that's to say the least. He served in the Tallinn Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. It turned out that he knew this old man. Before his schema, his name was Simeon and he was at one time a resident of the Pskov-Pechersk Lavra. And Father Vladimir’s confessor was from the same monastery, and his name, by the way, was also Simeon. Father Vladimir did not advise us to read this man’s book. He said that this Smeon Sivers was a very proud man, arrogant. He told how one day this Simeon had to be brought by force to the council of elders, since he himself refused to go there. And Father Vladimir transparently hinted at the “elder’s” non-traditional sexual orientation. Everything became clear to me with him. All the strange places in the book, such as how girls were like flies to him, or how attractive the bishop was in a women's knitted sweater, all this fell into place. I told my friend from the seminary about this resume of Father Vladimir, who, again by the way, was from Pechory. She was indignant. Elder Sampson was her mother’s confessor. She even divorced her father with his blessing, “for obedience”! Her mother had been at the Pechersk Monastery all her life, how could she have made such a mistake?! No, Father Vladimir is mistaken. But still, my friend went with the book of the “elder” Sampson to her confessor, Father John Krestyankin. And he says to her: Nastenka, don’t read this book! She told him about his mother, and he told him again: you don’t need to read this book, that’s all. So I no longer began to read it myself or offer it to others. I remember this book was thick. And in the nineties, in Taleen, I was invited to an evening dedicated to a certain holy elder. My heart felt like this was about Sampson. And so it happened. Again huge portraits, this time covering the entire stage, laudatory speeches about his “teachings,” in particular about prayer, which is torn from the soul. Now it reminded me of a sect: a poster-sized leader and his immortal teaching. I have met at least three holy people in my life. This is Father Vladimir Zalipsky, Father John Krestyankin and Father Nikolai from Zalita Island. All of them are already in the other world, but around their names there is no pomp, no exaltation, no portraits the size of a house. And they were modest in appearance during their lifetime. Simeon Sivers was the confessor of Patriarch Pimen. Father Vladimir told me this. Patriarch Pimen was a simple man, not a scientist or of noble birth, and what appealed to him about Sivers was that he was a man of high, noble origin, and even received an excellent education. Fortunately, our patriarchy has no shortage of historians who are able to separate the seeds from the chaff, and simply smart, feeling people who are not fooled by the “fiery gaze” and other entourage of trust swindlers who use the church to achieve their own selfish goals. As for the fulfillment of prayers “at the intercession of the holy elder,” God gives according to a person’s faith, and is unlikely to throw a stone at him because he is sincerely mistaken. In the Orthodox Church there are many real saints, pillars of faith, giants of the spirit. And there is no need to look far into antiquity, there are our contemporaries, there is a lot of good spiritual literature. But, apparently, there will be scammers and sects as long as there are people ready to be deceived.

How to ask the Mother of God?

Women who care about family well-being and the fate of children turn to the Mother of God. The words of such a prayer are born in the depths of the soul and always find a response. But not every person is able to express his thoughts when in despair or doubt. In this case, a ready-made text can come to the rescue.

The following words can help mothers in inducing prophetic dreams that can dispel anxious thoughts and fears associated with the lives of children:

Most Holy Most Pure Mother of God, who washed her son with her tears! Hear me, the servant of the Lord (proper name), do not leave me without help in difficult times. Strengthen my faith, drive out the dark shadows from my soul, do not let evil thoughts and worldly fears bring misfortune to children. Grant me sleep, the unreasonable slave, and in my sleep show peace with truth, send peace to my heart, drive away confusion, give pure thoughts and light to the mind. I thank you and bow deeply, Most Holy Virgin, Amen.

The most important thing is that the words come from a pure heart, and then in your dreams you will definitely see answers to all your questions.

Miracles at the grave of the Holy Elder Sampson

On the territory of the churchyard there is the grave of the Holy Elder Sampson.

He was the son of a count and was friends with Emperor Nicholas II. In 1917 The young man takes monastic vows and becomes monk Alexander. In 1922 In the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, the monk takes monastic vows again and becomes a hierodeacon with the name Simeon (Sampson). He suffered many arrests, imprisonments and ordeals. Sampson died of cancer in 1979.

During his lifetime, the elder was the spiritual mentor of a large number of monks and lay people. After the burial of the martyr, miracles of healing began to occur at his grave.

Thanks to his prayers, one can receive healing from deadly diseases. The elder especially asks for the children, for finding work, housing and other everyday difficulties. The main thing in this is faith, coming from the whole heart.

There are many testimonies of miracles that occurred at the grave of the Holy Elder Sampson. Here are some of them:

  • A desperate woman with a small child in her arms asked the elder to help restore relations with her husband and return him to the family. Thanks to Father Sampson's prayers, her life improved.
  • The young woman asked in prayers to relieve her of constant headaches, the cause of which doctors could not find. Help, she said, arrived immediately.
  • There is a lot of evidence of the elder’s help in finding and buying a home.
  • A man, while on a business trip in the Leningrad region, fell from a height. Diagnosis: compound fracture of the calcaneus. The hospital said surgery and a plate would be needed. All this time the young man fervently prayed to the elder. As a result, it was possible to simply apply plaster.
  • Helped me get out of a long-term depression.
  • There is evidence of recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism.
  • Father helps get rid of ailments for which doctors are powerless: radiculitis, infertility, bronchial asthma, arthritis, oncology.
  • It helps even pets cope with illness.
  • Helps everyone in need find decent work.

All these miracles can be treated differently. Some will say it's just a coincidence, others will believe it. And it’s all about faith. An ardent believer who offers prayer to a saint with all his heart can really receive help.

But don't go to extremes. There are situations, especially when it comes to a person’s physical and mental health, when the lack of professional help can end in tragedy. Oncology is one such topic. Miracles of cure are most likely defects in the diagnosis of the disease. Faith is faith, but you shouldn’t forget about common sense.

Does the day of the week matter?

You can pray for such a dream on any day of the week, because a dream sent by the Lord has no connections to signs or dates. But for most people it is easier to open their subconscious on certain days, this is also a kind of faith. That is, if the sleeper absolutely and unconditionally believes that a prophetic dream can only come on a certain day, then this is exactly what will happen.

A prayer for a prophetic dream, addressed to the Lord, the Mother of God or the saints, must be sincere, coming from the depths of the soul. The person asking for a dream must really need it. This is the only rule for requests for significant dreams addressed to higher powers, and on what day they are pronounced does not matter.

This means that if a prayer is read by a mother who has not heard from her children living in a distance for a long time, or by a businessman who does not know what decision to make, tormented by the fear of making a mistake that could lead to the dismissal of dozens of people, such requests will be heard by people will receive answers in their dreams. But if a person prays just like that, out of curiosity or a momentary whim, then such requests have no meaning and will not bring results.
