Life sends us trials, and not each of us can endure sorrows and problems with honor and dignity. The Lord sends us hardships in the hope that we will begin to appreciate the gift of life, but often we bring trouble on ourselves. And heavenly intercessors come to our aid. If we cannot leave our sinful life, and the lessons of fate are in vain for us, then heavenly angels look at us and sigh sadly. Many of them are former inhabitants of the Earth who have gone through a difficult life path, endured all sorrows with deep faith and righteousness.
Angel who lived on Earth
Matrona of Moscow is one of the celestials who experienced a terrible fate. She was kind and honest. The purity of her thoughts was associated with love for nature and plants. It is not for nothing that her icon is always decorated with beautiful flowers, which she adored during her lifetime. And in a difficult moment of grief, illnesses of loved ones, the Matrona of Moscow helps us. Akathist, performed in her honor, sounds soft and beautiful. Requests and glorification to the Holy One come from the souls of crying mothers and fathers for the life of a child, a loved one. The Akathist to the Matrona of Moscow can also be read within the walls of your home, thanking the Lord for such a caring guardian and helper in difficult times.
Matrona was blind, and before her birth, the Saint's mother had a dream in which a dove sat in her arms with her eyes closed. Doves are God's message, and the dream announced the birth of the chosen one of the Lord. The matron endured her blindness firmly and resignedly throughout her life. Despite the fact that the rest of the children in the family were supporters of atheism, champions of the kulaks, Matrona believed in God and truly served in the name of the Creator. Akathist to the Holy Matrona of Moscow contains words about the wisdom that the Lord endowed the holy martyr.
Meekness and humility of the future seer
The girl's bliss also affected her relationships with her peers, she forgave bullying and insults, from childhood she was distinguished by the kindness of Matrona Moskovskaya. The akathist says so: “Rejoice, filled with the gift of wisdom from God from above.”
The girl went to church from early childhood, because the church was located near her house. Parents were pious, honored all religious holidays, the same was done by their blind daughter Matrona of Moscow.
Akathist is a hymn in honor of some Holy servant of God in Heaven, and we sing church hymns with great hope and say prayers to Angels and Archangels. But do not forget to remember about the patron saint of the sick, the words towho will surely bring healing.
There is a legend about the Holy Matrona, which is passed from mouth to mouth by believers. They say that in childhood, a blind seer saw in a dream the icon "Searching for the Lost" and, in order to bring what she saw to life, she asked people to collect money and ask the artist to paint it. The artist, who had extensive experience in painting, could not make an order, and Matrona asked him to confess and reveal a serious sin - murder. Only after communion and a frank confession did the artist manage to paint a unique icon. The man came to righteousness thanks to the blind girl-seer, who was the Holy Matrona of Moscow. Akathist for the blessed one contains Kontakions, Ikos, prayers.
Prayer is not only a request, but also a gratitude
In your words, ask for God's blessing, give grateful words to the Creator and magnify the name of the patron saint. In prayers, open your soul and do not forget to read prayers as often as possible. Believe me, Heaven will hear our requests, and Angels will come to the rescue, among which will be the powerful power of the blessed protector Matrona of Moscow. Days of veneration of our beloved intercessor - August 21, September 22, April 19.
