The power of prayer is very great, especially if you believe in it. The prayer of St. Martha is often read when you want your wish to come true. Why to her? Let's step back a bit and look at the life of a saint.
A trip to the past
Blessed Martha is an ascetic who lived in the city of Tsaritsyn and was born into a we althy family. There is no information about what name she received at birth. Information has reached our time that after graduating from the gymnasium, the future saint was taken to St. Petersburg. Here, in the city on the Neva, the shepherd John of Kronstadt gave a blessing to the girl on the path of the holy fool, for Christ's sake. He told her to change her name. From that time on, Blessed Martha (Martha) appeared in Russia. She returns to her homeland in 1908, lives in a barn, which is located in the courtyard of her parents' house.
Marta, let's call her that, becomes a welcome guest in the homes of many townspeople because where the blessed one reads prayers, calm is always restored, peace in the family, the sick recover. She always reminded we althy owners of donations fortemple, that God loves good and merciful Christians, about the need to help sick and suffering people.
Faith
Thanks to the requests of the holy fool, many townspeople made donations for the construction of the Holy Spirit Monastery. Blessed Martha (Marta) was very fond of birds and flowers. She taught people to give crumbs of bread to the chicks and said at the same time: "The birds will pick up everything up to a gram, and then they will pray for those who fed them." All the predictions that Marta predicted to the people were sure to come true. She only spoke in an allegorical way. For example, if she said: " Pancakes will be baked here soon," - it means that this family will have a funeral soon.
Often told the townspeople that their salvation is prayer. St. Martha often gave food for her predictions, which she took to the monastery. They came to her from different places. There is a belief that the holy fool had a meeting with Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. Martha predicted to her the death of the entire imperial family.
Tells a lot about friendship with Blessed Antonina Melnikova. In her youth, she had a bad disease - dropsy, she was in severe pain. Arriving at Matushka Marta, the sufferer rushed to her and began to cry and ask if she would die, to which the blessed one replied: “Of course you will.” Then she hugged the girl and began to read. It turned out to be a powerful prayer. Saint Martha took some time to help young Tonya. The girl got rid of her illness almost immediately. From that moment on, she began to visit the holy fool often, and then became a novice with her.
They still believe in our time
Today topeople go to Martha's grave to ask for help in fulfilling this or that request.
Prayer to Saint Martha is a tribute to the grateful people whom she helped. On the grave of Martha, the city authorities are constantly pouring earth and sand. Pilgrims and petitioners simply carry it. They say that if you come to the grave, ask, tell about your troubles, take sand with you, then everything will work out. That's what the reviews say. A prayer to Saint Martha is read both on her grave and in the church near the icon with her face. She helps everyone.
The prayer of St. Martha, read with faith, helps in the fulfillment of a cherished desire. To do this, you need to buy an icon, candles and read:
- "Our Father" - three times.
- "Our Lady, Virgin…" - once.
- Prayer for the wish of St. Martha - read once.
This ritual is very powerful. What you have guessed should carry only positive emotions and be aimed at helping. You can make, for example, a desire to get a new job, to find a life partner. One should not dream of actions that bring harm and destruction to others. It is obligatory to read prayers nine Tuesdays in a row, this is called a cycle. If the wish came true during this period, the cycle must still be completed. You can’t break the circle: if you forgot to read the prayers on one of the Tuesdays, start all over again.
The prayer of St. Martha, "Our Father", the Mother of God is read at any time of the day. It is desirable that no one else was in the room. Candlegrease with bergamot oil from top to bottom (it should burn out completely), put it to the right of the icon. Arrange flowers on the left side of the image (preferably live ones). Wash, comb, put on clean clothes. Read out loud. It is better to write the desire on paper in advance so that it sounds the same all nine times.
Believe and everything will work out. Remember that the desire coming from the depths of the soul will surely come true. If you do not know the prayers by heart, it is better to copy them with your own hand and read from the sheet. The texts "Our Father" and "Theotokos, Virgin …" are in the prayer book. For those who don't know, the prayer for the fulfillment of Saint Martha's wish is given below.
