When a person is haunted by misfortune, they often say about him: "Someone jinxed it." Undoubtedly, every true believing Christian is under the protection of heavenly powers, but the demons are not asleep, trying to find weakness in thoughts and deeds, and sometimes Satan still manages to find a gap in God's protection. Such sinners, subject to repentance, are helped by a prayer from the evil eye of Cyprian, which is in every prayer book. About how she appeared, and the story will go.
Cyprian's hard way
Once upon a time, in the second century after the birth of Christ, in the ancient city of Antioch there lived a certain Cyprian, descended from a family of sorcerers. From early childhood, his parents taught him the wisdom of evil witchcraft, hoping that in this field he would be able to gain power by serving the prince of darkness.
But Cyprian was destined to become a saint.
What Cyprian prayed for
I enlightened the evil sorcerer, who could do a lot of trouble, the Christian Justina, against whom all the intrigues, to the surprise of the priest, turned out to beuseless. After numerous attempts to betray the soul of the girl, the sorcerer was convinced of the omnipotence of her faith.
For the first time, Cyprian's prayer from corruption sounded when he knew the infirmity of the Prince of the Air and turned to the "god of Justina" for help in renouncing Satan. Not afraid of his former master, the priest accepted the light of the new faith. The devil himself, outraged by the apostasy, attacked him, but retreated, met with the sign of the cross, and was put to shame. The Lord heard Cyprian's prayer from corruption, at that time his own, and help was not long in coming.
So the devil lost one of his servants, and the teachings of Christ acquired a new adept, convinced and devoted. God was pleased to guide the pagan sorcerer on the path of true love and philanthropy.
What to ask Saint Cyprian
Cyprian's prayer for corruption is considered the strongest remedy for evil thoughts, the evil eye and witchcraft. Memorizing it by heart is not an easy task, it is long and available in Church Slavonic translation, so you should open the holy book and read it, trying to understand the meaning of the words spoken. This should be done repeatedly, for a full week, and not be afraid to overdo it. This is exactly the case when the more the better.
The prayer of St. Cyprian begins with a request to the Lord to hear him. This shows the absence of doubt that the martyr himself will help on the path of his following God's commandments, since he, like no one else who lived on earth, knows that demons are insidious,seductive, and anyone can succumb to them. He will certainly forgive all the iniquities of the one who prays, knowing, as they say, “from within”, how the dark forces operate.
The following text is canonical and should not be given in your own words. Cyprian's prayer from corruption refers to pleading, and its whole meaning lies not only in the wish to get rid of misfortunes, but mainly in a sincere desire to establish oneself in the faith, be strengthened in spirit, come to their senses and deserve forgiveness.
Such a sincere prayer will be heard and will reach the Lord, before whom Saint Cyprian invariably becomes an intercessor.
