Ministry of Ignatius Brianchaninov
The life of Elder Ignatius was filled with fateful coincidences. Born into a we althy noble family, Dmitry - the worldly name of a saint - received an excellent education, but could not live in the world and devoted his life to serving God. Excellent knowledge of science, philosophy and theology allowed him to direct all his strength and talent to the creation of spiritual compositions.
The purpose and meaning of the life of St. Ignatius was the study of the works of ancient ascetics. The power of the spirit of the holy righteous of the past was such that today many texts are inaccessible to the understanding of the modern worldly person. Ignatius Brianchaninov performed a great deed by translating the meaning of the messages of the great elders into a language accessible to his contemporaries. The form of presentation and the meaning of theological texts, chosen by Ignaty Brianchaninov in hisworks are relevant and understandable to us at the present time.

Vema, as the prayer of the righteous can do a lot, propitiating the Lord. From the years of infancy, you have passionately loved the Lord, and desiring to serve Him alone, all the red of this world has imputed you to nothing. You denied yourself and take up your cross, you followed Christ. You have chosen the path of a narrow and regrettable life of a monastic will, and on this path you have acquired great virtues. You filled the hearts of people with the deepest reverence and humility before the Almighty Creator with your writingsThou didst instruct sinners who fell with thy wise words in the consciousness of their insignificance and their sinfulness, in repentance and humility, to resort to God, encouraging them with hope in His mercy. You did not reject those who came to you, but you were a loving father to all and a good shepherd. And now do not leave us, fervently praying to you and asking for your help and intercession. Ask us from our philanthropic Lord our spiritual and bodily he alth, affirm our faith, strengthen our strength, exhausted in the temptations and sorrows of this age, warm our chilled hearts with the fire of prayer, help us, cleansed by repentance, receive the Christian end of this belly and in the palace of the Savior decorated get in with all the elect and there together with you bow down to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Reading
You need to say a prayer in a calm and concentrated state, turning with words and soul to the Creator, by transmitting your request to him through the saint. We must remember that every word of prayer is a message from a holy man to us. A message that has been through suffering, consecrated by pure love for people. Therefore, you need to understand and honor every expression, every symbol in the text of the prayer.
Prayer should begin with internal cleansing. When pronouncing repentance before God, you need to ask for forgiveness from all people who are accidentally or intentionally offended.
A prayer request should end with the sincere gratitude of the prayer book. Only prayer filled with true faith will help, restoring he alth and joy of life.
