On the importance of commemorating the parents of saints

From the instructions of schemanun Antonia (Kaveshnikova):

It is good for the soul to give in the church for commemoration, in addition to your relatives, also for the parents of the holy saints of God: the parents of St. Seraphim of Sarov - Isidore and Agathia; St. Nicholas - Theophan and Nonna; St. Joasaph of Belgorod - Andrew and Mary; wife of Blessed Xenia - Andrey; parents of holy righteous John of Kronstadt - Elijah and Theodora; parents of St. Theodosius of the Caucasus - Theodore and Catherine; the parents of schema-abbot Savva - Mikhail and Ekaterina.

“On the eve of the glorification of St. Theodosius, it was necessary to hide his holy relics, that is, to re-veil them and bring them into splendid form. They called from Kiev for this an elder of high spiritual life, Hieromonk Alexy (Shepelev), who had died already at the beginning of the revolution. Having re-veiled the saint , the old man sat down and dozed off.

In a subtle dream, in the radiance of heavenly glory, the saint appears to him. Theodosius says: “Pray for my parents: Priest Nikita and Maria” (until now their names were not known).

Confused o. Alexy replied: “Saint of God, you yourself are glorified, your prayers are strong with the Lord, how can I, a sinner, pray?”

The saint answered: “Remember at the proskomedia, this is beyond my prayers.” “The vision ended there” (Hegumen Anthony, “Saint Theodosius, Archbishop of Chernigov,” “Right Path” for 1951).

“And finally, brothers and sisters, listen to one very useful piece of advice from the Ryazan ascetic, the blessed maiden Pelageya the Blind - “remember the parents and relatives of the saints of God more often.” The saints of God themselves asked for this and said that the person who remembers their deceased parents “and they themselves will remember him before the Throne of God and will meet him after death, accompany him through the ordeal and intercede for him before God.” (See: lives of St. Seraphim of Sarov, St. Theodosius of Chernigov, St. Theodosius of the Caucasus, St. Kuksha the Elder of Odessa, St. Lawrence of Chernigov, St. Savva and Simeon of Pskov-Pechersk, St. Sampson (Sievers) The long-suffering, blessed virgin Pelagia of Ryazan, etc.). This is God’s mercy for those who diligently remember the living and the dead!

Lord help you to make a good start, work hard, remember, write down names and draw up a good Memorial and pray fervently for your loved ones.

God bless you and the Mother of God. Amen."

(“For the salvation of the soul. Rules, examples and instructions for those praying”, Vladimir, Cathedral, 2010, pp. 142-145.)

Blessed Polyushka Ryazanskaya asked us to remember her mother Natalia in our prayers. She said: “Whoever remembers my mother will be happy!”

“And I also remember that blessed Porlyushka predicted that the servants of the Antichrist in the last times would impose a special tax on every icon. And therefore, some people of little faith will begin to take off their images themselves, with their own hands, to hide them, well, in order to pay less.

Polya said: “If these Antichrists take down icons, let them take them down, but they can’t do it with their own hands!

On the contrary, we must serve these saints of God with prayer services , and especially to remember their parents, and then the Lord will provide as much money as is needed to pay the tax. "And she told everyone that."

“On the night of Mother’s Saturday, God’s servant Galina dreamed of a deceased distant relative. Bowing low, he thanked her for remembering him in the note about his repose. “It’s not at all like in everyday life,” she shared, “there, in a dream, I felt burning guilt before a loved one,” and with pain and shame I bowed to him in response. - Sorry. please forgive me, but I never remembered you. I even completely forgot about your existence. “But he objected: “No. After all, you wrote at the end of the note: “And all my relatives” - and God remembered me!”(from the book “Easter Memory” / Memories of Hieromonk Vladimir (Shikin)

Prayer for your generation of Orthodoxy

The most powerful prayer for the entire family?

Prayer for the Cleansing of the Family Tree Prayer for the removal of the family curse (read 40 days in a row, without breaks).

The prayer consists of two parts, one of which is aimed at removing the ancestral curse, the second allows you to fill the free internal space of the karma of the genus, which was formed as a result of the transmutation of involutionary programs, with the energies of abundance and prosperity. The minimum period of work with each part of the prayer is 40 days, because exactly 40 days are the period of existence of demonic entities, vampires and possessors who deform both individual and clan karma, in the event that they do not receive additional energy from the activity of the lower “I” of the embodied personality and its immediate karmic environment. There is no maximum period of service; it is determined only by the aspiration for this type of spiritual work of our individual Divine Soul and its readiness to take responsibility for the evolutionary destiny of its own.

The prayer of mother and father is the strongest protection

PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS FOR CHILDREN, RELATIVES AND RELATIVES

A MOTHER'S PRAYER FOR HER CHILDREN

(COMPLIED BY THE REVEREND AMBROSIY OF OPTINA)

God! Creator of all creatures, adding mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your grace has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them existence, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them through baptism for a life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church.

God! Keep them in a state of grace until the end of their lives; grant them to be partakers of the sacraments of Your Covenant; sanctify by Thy truth; may Thy holy name be sanctified in them and through them! Grant me Your gracious help in raising them for the glory of Your name and the benefit of your neighbor! Give me methods, patience and strength for this purpose! Teach me to plant in their hearts the root of true wisdom - Thy fear! Illuminate them with the light of Your wisdom that rules the universe! May they love You with all their soul and thought.

Almost every woman is afraid of childbirth: some remember the pain of previous contractions and pushing, others have heard from grandmothers, friends and neighbors how difficult it is to give birth. But, one way or another, absolutely everyone prepares for this event and in very different ways. Someone is looking for a good doctor and a maternity hospital, someone is learning about pain relief during childbirth, someone is running around the shops, buying diapers, caps and a chest of drawers for the children's room... Without a doubt, all things are important. But the main thing in this bustle is not to forget about prayer.

A believing woman knows well that she cannot cope without God’s help. Prayer does not leave her either in the days of preparation for conception, or in the days of pregnancy, or during childbirth. Many may object: how can a woman giving birth pray during childbirth? After all, you need to think about contractions, attempts... The Holy Fathers teach that a person should pray every free minute. This also applies to a woman in labor during labor. Reading a prayer calms you down, and its power invisibly helps in the most difficult moments.

Spiritual preparation

Prayer for family reunification

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. An equally famous helper of the modern Christian is the wonderworker St. Luke of Crimea. During his lifetime, this saint of God worked as a surgeon, a doctor of medicine, and therefore is especially revered by patients and doctors. Many doctors adhere to the tradition of praying to St. Luke before performing complex operations; it is believed that he will definitely “control” the surgeon’s hand, and the operation will be successful. People come to the grave of the famous saint doctor from all over the world and pray for healing from ailments, including infertility problems. The prayer to Luke for pregnancy has effective force for those who truly believe in the help and protection of the wonderworker Luke. Young spouses can ask the great holy doctor not only for children for themselves, but also for grandchildren, and for marital happiness.

Tell me how to create protection against backlash before.

Prayer 1, FOR THE DONE OF YOUR KIND

Lord, remember all my departed family; everyone from our forefather Adam, the deceased ancestors, ancestors, forefathers, foremothers and all my relatives in the flesh who have died from time immemorial to this day, whose names You weigh all, and weaken, forsake, have mercy on and forgive them all their sins, voluntary and involuntary. and grant them the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

Prayer 2, FOR THE REST OF ALL ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS, THERE IS SOMEONE TO PRAY FOR THEM

Lord Jesus Christ our God, accept this prayer into Thy heavenly altar in the stench of the spiritual fragrance, and remember the souls of Thy servants who have passed away, of every tribe, of the Christian race, in Thee, the Son of God, who truly believed, and who in every way departed from this life: into the fires , in water, in earth and in the air, in need and...

When you feel like you can't forgive. Remember how much you have been forgiven!

Prayer for the Harmonization of the Family, Prayer for the cleansing of the Maternal and Paternal Family.

Our lives are influenced by relatives up to the 12th generation. The family tree consists of the living and the deceased. The living are in the material world, and the location of the deceased will be divided into two categories:

their souls moved to the Higher planes of existence; their souls hung in the subtle world, in the toll-house zones.

Tollhouse zones are the territory of karma. This includes those who died prematurely, as well as the souls of those who during their lifetime suffered from addictions and had an unhealthy dependence on the material world. They don't realize they are dead. Such souls are left without divine light and love, they are hungry, since they have nothing to eat, therefore, the only way out is to consume the energy of living relatives.

The only way to get rid of such “vampires” and, thereby, give them the opportunity to move from the toll-house zone to the Higher planes of existence is.

I turn to You, Heavenly Father, and I want to pray for myself and for my family.

I want those closest to me, my children, grandchildren and all future generations to be happy and healthy. So that they feel the strength of their family.

I turn to You, Lord, for I know that a clan is considered strong when the roots of its family tree are strong - when 7 generations in a clan are strong... (I speak for all generations in general)

And now I am turning to you, my great-great-great-grandparents, and I want to pray for you and ask YOU for forgiveness.

Forgive me dear. Forgive me.

Forgive me that I know so little about you, about my family, that I do not carry the traditions of my family and... I truly thank you for standing at the origins of my family.

I sincerely repent, forgive me……….

And if possible, come to my aid. I want to repent for everyone who lives next to me, my relatives.

I understand how great my responsibility is, but I take it upon myself. I pray for my entire family.

PRAYER FOR YOUR DECENT KIND

Remember, Lord, all my departed family; everyone from our forefather Adam, the deceased ancestors, ancestors, forefathers, foremothers and all my relatives in the flesh who have passed away from time immemorial to this day; you weigh all their names, and weaken them, forgive them, have mercy and forgive them all their sins freely and not free and grant them the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS OF SINS OF ALL KINDS

Lord, Merciful and Righteous Judge, punishing children for the unrepentant sins of their parents up to the third and fourth generation! Have mercy and forgive me, my family, my living and already deceased relatives and my entire deceased family for the great and grave sins of apostasy, for the crime and trampling of the Council oath and the kiss of the cross of the Russian people for allegiance to God's chosen Royal Family, for treason and betrayal to the death of the Anointed of God - Holy Tsar Nicholas II Alexandrovich and his entire holy Family, for renouncing God and the Orthodox Faith, for persecution of the Holy Faith, etc.

Nothing is true in many worlds and on Midgard Earth. Follow only the Wisdom of the ancient Vedas,

Yes, listen to the words of the Magi and Priestesses of the Light Gods, to Whom the Wisdom of the Veda was given from above to interpret...

What is prayer? Prayer is a tool. Our Ancestors praised the Gods, but did not ask them for anything. We were engaged in SLAVO-words, therefore we are Slavs. Doxology is the creation of special vibrations, because language is given to us in order to glorify, that is, to WORD the resonance of attunement with the Gods (certain energy) with the help of words. Prayer is a vibration series associated with a certain hypostasis: either we turn to a specific God who controls specific elements, or to one of his manifestations - protection, help, support. This is a technique of attunement with certain vibrations. When we are attuned to this vibration, we appropriate this Power for our evolution. When a person believes, when he has inner conviction.

Prayers for the clan help to cleanse all members of the clan from heaviness and illness, restore the strength of the clan, improve the fate of future generations and relieve the souls of already deceased members of the clan. Prayers for the family are very pleasing to God and are a very powerful spiritual practice.

Prayer for the race

Lord, Merciful and Righteous Judge, punishing children for the unrepentant sins of their parents up to the third and fourth generation!

Have mercy and forgive me, my family, my living and already deceased relatives and my entire deceased family for the great and grave sins of apostasy, for the crime and trampling of the Council oath and the kiss of the cross of the Russian people for allegiance to God's chosen Royal Family, for treason and betrayal to the death of the Anointed of God – Holy Tsar Nicholas Alexandrovich and his entire Holy Family, for the renunciation of God and the Orthodox Faith, for the persecution of the Holy Faith and the Church, for the destruction and desecration of the Temples of God, shrines and their Orthodox Fatherland, for idolatry and veneration of the abominable.

Also asked

Peace be with You is not sponsored by any organization, foundation, church or mission.

It exists on personal funds and voluntary donations.

Sometimes it happens that you have to ask for forgiveness for the sins of your ancestors and read a prayer for the forgiveness of the sins of your family.

Prayer for the forgiveness of sins is a kind of sacred word, the help of which is resorted to as a last resort. A stained soul will not receive forgiveness, so sins must be atoned for.

Children should not be held accountable for the sins of their ancestors. But it happens that a perfect deed covers the entire human race with a stain of shame and sin. In such cases, one of the prayers is read to cleanse the family.

Prayer for the purification of the family

Intrauterine damage or a generational curse sent out of envy denigrates the soul. At this moment, not only the victims suffer, but also the perpetrators of the act themselves. Reading a prayer can not only remove a curse from a family, but also cleanse a person’s karma.

Depending on the severity of the crime committed, they read one of the prayers of their own choice for the cleansing of the family. You can simply read “Our Father” if the situation is extreme “Prayer for the generation up to the 12th generation.”

Priests advise choosing according to the will of the heart so that the power of words will work better.

It is also necessary to follow the rules prescribed by the church when reading the prayer:

  • before reading, you need to remember all your and your family’s deeds;
  • accept and see your mistake with your heart and beg the Lord for forgiveness;
  • for minor and unkind offenses, one must also ask for pardon;
  • turn to the Creator or saint, to whom one prays with innocent intentions and an open heart;
  • You can atone for your sins by confessing to a clergyman;
  • It is worth praying not only for yourself, but also for all your loved ones and the deceased and your family.

All prayers are repeated three times. At the end you can read a word of thanks. If the reading of a prayer takes place in a church, then it would be useful to thank everyone who prays with the person praying.

In addition, the prayer for the purification of the family is not simply read. First of all, you need to understand whether there is a curse or terrible deeds in the family.

Some signs indicating a tainted family:

  1. Suicidal thoughts and scattered feelings that were not there before.
  2. Manifestation of frequent diseases.
  3. Constant hypo or hypersexual desire.
  4. Phobias and aggression are suddenly activated.
  5. The sudden manifestation of any addiction that was not previously present.

Prayer of John Krestyankin for the eradication of generational sins

The founder and first reader of the prayer is Elder John. The priest spent up to 40 years of service in Russian churches. With the blessing of Bishop Nikolsky, he became a monk in due time.

He advised the woman who turned to him to help him to read the prayer. The prayer helped, moreover, it quickly spread among believers and became deeply revered.

At the moment of praying to the Lord for forgiveness of the family, it is necessary to be in complete solitude. It will be possible to save the human soul or race only with a sense of pure intentions and motives.

Before prayer, it is better to confess to Father. He will give blessings and forgive all sins. After this, you can begin with an open heart and soul without burdens to cleanse the family.

The prayer should exude sincerity in every word, wisdom, positive emotions and willpower. The purpose of this sacred word is the salvation of the human essence and the purification of it and the race as a whole. While reading, you need to forgive people who have harmed the reader’s family. But you shouldn’t expect a sudden miracle from the prayer immediately after reading it once.

It is good for people to get sick or experience poverty. Everything sent down from above has its end. And nothing is sent to people just like that; God will not send something irresistible. This is given so that difficulties can be overcome and make a person who he is.

Prayer for the generation up to the 12th generation

A person’s life path is influenced by the actions of relatives up to the 12th generation. The family tree consists of living and deceased people. The actions of the latter have a much greater influence on the family than others.

Some of the deceased from the clan receive forgiveness and move on, others remain in purgatory and suffer, not knowing peace. Still others, who have committed cruel offenses, are sent to Hell, and it is because of such dead that the race is covered with a curse and falls into disgrace with the Lord.

The presence of cursed relatives nearby can be determined by the presence of some phobias or addictions that came from nowhere. In this case, it is necessary to immediately begin to cleanse the family. This can be done by fasting, meditation or strict abstinence. It is read when there is complete failure in personal and family matters.

The power of this prayer will help get rid of not only the blackening of the family, but also from intrauterine damage. After reading the sacred word, a person’s life immediately begins to change for the better. Illnesses will disappear, success will come in business and new endeavors.

Prayer for your family to the seventh generation

The process of atonement for sins takes up to 2 months. Before the reading procedure, you must ask for forgiveness from God and the Mother of God. First, church candles and a prayer book are prepared. If it is not there and the prayer is being read for the first time, the reading material can be printed.

Then they begin to pray for themselves, then for the second generation - mother and father. You need to read up to the 7th generation inclusive. It is advisable to have a visual representation of your ancestors.

Christian Church in the life of medieval society

During the Middle Ages, most European countries were Christian. Christianity was what united the countries of Europe, even those at war with each other. What their population had in common was a view of the world and common rules of behavior.

The Christian Church helped secular rulers regulate complex relationships between people, took care of the sick, the elderly and orphans, and opened schools. Priests baptized children, married newlyweds, and performed funeral services for the dead. Being educated people, they often held important positions in the courts of European rulers and gave advice to emperors, kings, and dukes.

The Church tried to ensure that strife between feudal lords did not cause too much harm to other people. She demanded that the feudal lords conclude “God’s Peace” - an agreement on the rules of warfare. Warriors were forbidden to attack unarmed people: priests, women, peasants; fight from sunset on Wednesday to sunrise on Monday and on church holidays. Thus, there were only one hundred days a year left for military operations.

Remember what role the church played in the formation of medieval culture.

Schism of the Christian Church

Over the course of several centuries, the Christian Church developed its teachings and rules of worship. Disputes often broke out between supporters of different points of view. Meetings of all church leaders - Ecumenical Councils - played an important role in developing the teachings of the Christian Church. In the 4th century, they adopted the Creed - a brief statement of Christian teaching.

Since the 9th century, disagreements between Christians of the Byzantine Empire and the countries of Western Europe intensified. The differences concerned one of the church sacraments - communion with the body and blood of Christ by eating a piece of bread and a sip of wine in memory of the last meal of Christ with his disciples. In the East, all believers partook of bread and wine; in the West, only the clergy. The Western Church also made changes to the Creed, while Byzantine Christians continued to revere it unchanged. But the main reason for the controversy was the different views on the role of the Pope in the life of the church. In the West, the pope was called the head of all Christians, believing that his authority was higher than the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils. The Byzantines did not recognize the power of the pope over themselves, believing that the decisions of one person could not be higher than the decisions of the councils.

The contradictions intensified and in 1054 a split occurred in the formerly united church into the Orthodox (Eastern) headed by the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Catholic (Western) church subordinate to the Pope. This is how two Christian worlds arose - Orthodox and Catholic.

Patriarch of Constantinople

The differences between the two branches of Christianity grew stronger over time. The Pope was supported by the kings of the states created on the lands of the Western Roman Empire. They needed the support of the church, which had great influence on believers. Over time, popes began to claim not only spiritual power in the church, but also dominance over all kings and emperors. In contrast, the patriarchs of Byzantium had only spiritual power. They depended on powerful emperors, although they had enormous influence in the empire. The contradictions between the two centers of Christianity were aggravated by differences in worship.

Clergy - the first estate of medieval society

Christianity was the core of medieval society, and the church enjoyed special respect. Christians believed that the salvation of a believer's soul was possible only through the church. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the first of the classes of medieval society was clergy. Christian priests were treated with respect, as their duty was to pray for the souls of all Christians. They did not pay taxes, and the church itself was supported by church tithes - a tenth of the income that the entire population of the country had to pay.

It was believed that the church and the clergy are mediators between God and man, and a person can be saved from hellish torment only if he follows the instructions of the priests in everything. Priests were different from other Christians - the laity. According to Christian tradition, they possessed a special quality, divine power - grace, which was miraculously transmitted from Jesus Christ through his disciples-apostles to the priests. In order to become a priest, a person had to undergo a special initiation rite and give vow. Thanks to this, the clergy had the right to conduct divine services, confess, absolve the laity, baptize children, and give communion to the dying. The priests also differed in their appearance. The divine service was conducted by them in special clothes, which were made from the best linen, wool and silk fabrics and decorated with elegant embroidery with gold threads. In all Catholic countries, services were held uniformly in Latin at the same time, according to a single calendar.

The medieval clergy was divided into black and white. The black clergy were considered monks who abandoned the temptations of everyday life and left the world for solitary prayer. White clergy were priests who served in their parishes and did not take monastic vows. In the Catholic Church, unlike the Orthodox Church, marriage was prohibited for both black and white clergy.

Church hierarchy

The organization of the Christian church was subject to strict hierarchy. The head of the Catholic Church was the Pope, who was considered the vicar of Jesus Christ on earth. The pope was also a secular ruler, ruling the Papal States located in the center of Italy. The pope appointed his assistants - cardinals, whose assembly, in the event of the death of the pope, chose a new one from among them. At the head of large church districts, which sometimes included entire countries, were bishops and archbishops (senior bishops) appointed by the pope. In the Middle Ages, bishops were also large feudal lords who owned large tracts of land. As a sign of their temporal power, the bishops received a staff and a ring from the secular ruler and swore an oath of vassalage to him. The priests who served in the parishes were subordinate to the bishops. At the lowest level of the clergy class were deacons. They helped priests conduct services, read prayers, and were teachers in church schools.

Monasticism

Monks appeared in the first centuries of Christianity. At first they lived alone, moving away from people into the desert. Then monasteries began to appear. Benedict of Nursia, who lived at the end of the 5th–6th century, was especially revered in the Catholic Church. He was the author of the “Rules of Monastic Life”, which were adopted by many monasteries in the West. The “rules” required the monks to renounce all property and lead ascetic Lifestyle; spend their days in prayer, physical labor, copying books. Monks had to strictly follow the rules of life monastic order, obey your superiors without question.

The medieval monastery was a closed world, fenced off from the whole world. The monks were forbidden to leave the monastery; they had to produce everything necessary for life inside it. There were not only residential and office premises, churches, but also outbuildings - a poultry yard, stables, workshops. The monks themselves were engaged in agriculture, cultivating fields in the place of wastelands and dense forests. People who went to the monastery could be recognized by their clothes. They wore long black robes with a hood, which were made of coarse wool. In winter, the monks wore a sheepskin over their cassock. The monastery was headed by an abbot (from the Latin word meaning “father”), who was elected by the monks themselves. People from all classes could become monks, but people of noble origin most often became abbots.

Sermon in the monastery. Medieval miniature

By the 11th century, wealthy people appeared among the monks, church positions, even the highest, were bought and sold, and dependent peasants worked on the vast monastery lands. Secular rulers - kings and emperors - shamelessly interfered in the affairs of the church. And the clergy themselves were more concerned about acquiring wealth than about the souls of Christians. In Catholic churches, a special letter began to be sold - indulgence. By purchasing it, any sinner could receive forgiveness of sins. The wealth and luxury of the Catholic clergy caused discontent among the population. The authority of the church began to decline.

Mendicant orders

To raise the shaky authority of the church and restore former monastic ideals, church devotees in the 11th–12th centuries created new orders - the Franciscans and Dominicans. The founder of the first was Francis of Assisi (1182–1226). He came from the family of a wealthy merchant, but, having heard the call of God, he distributed his property to the poor so that, like Jesus Christ and his apostles, he could preach the Word of God in Italy and other countries. Francis and his associates devoted their time to caring for the sick and helping the weak.

The kindness of Francis of Assisi was talked about everywhere: how he removed worms from the road so that they would not be crushed by travelers; how he bought a lamb from a peasant so that the animal would not be slaughtered. Among ordinary people, Francis enjoyed great respect, so the pope and the Catholic Church, who treated him with suspicion, were nevertheless forced to recognize him as a saint after the death of Francis of Assisi. The followers of Francis - the Franciscans - preached Christian teaching in many countries of the world, converting many thousands of people to the Christian faith.

Another order, whose members, like the Franciscans, renounced their property, was the Dominican. Its founder was the Spanish monk Dominic (1170–1224), an expert in Christian teaching and a fierce opponent of any deviations from Catholicism. The Dominicans were famous as learned people and skilled preachers of Christian teaching.

The Dominicans and Franciscans did not live permanently in monasteries, but preached the ideals of Christianity among the laity. They called themselves mendicant monks. They really had no property, and their sermons were closer and more understandable to peasants and townspeople than the words of rich bishops and priests.

Let's sum it up

Having survived the death of the Roman Empire, the Christian religion became the spiritual basis of medieval European society, and the Christian clergy remained the most influential class throughout the Middle Ages.

Clergy - church ministers.

Vow - promise, religious oath.

Hierarchy - ladder of subordinate ecclesiastical or secular positions.

Ascetic - a person who leads a harsh lifestyle, refusing comforts and pleasures for the sake of spiritual perfection.

Monastic order - unification of monasteries with the same rules of life and order.

“The submission of every human creature to the Roman high priest is an indispensable condition of salvation.”

Sometimes it happens that you have to ask for forgiveness for the sins of your ancestors and read a prayer for the forgiveness of the sins of your family.

Prayer for the forgiveness of sins is a kind of sacred word, the help of which is resorted to as a last resort. A stained soul will not receive forgiveness, so sins must be atoned for.

Children should not be held accountable for the sins of their ancestors. But it happens that a perfect deed covers the entire human race with a stain of shame and sin. In such cases, one of the prayers is read to cleanse the family.

Prayer for the purification of the family

Intrauterine damage or a generational curse sent out of envy denigrates the soul. At this moment, not only the victims suffer, but also the perpetrators of the act themselves. Reading a prayer can not only remove a curse from a family, but also cleanse a person’s karma.

"Our Father"

Depending on the severity of the crime committed, they read one of the prayers of their own choice for the cleansing of the family. You can simply read “Our Father” if the situation is extreme “Prayer for the generation up to the 12th generation.”

Priests advise choosing according to the will of the heart so that the power of words will work better.

It is also necessary to follow the rules prescribed by the church when reading the prayer:

  • before reading, you need to remember all your and your family’s deeds;
  • accept and see your mistake with your heart and beg the Lord for forgiveness;
  • for minor and unkind offenses, one must also ask for pardon;
  • turn to the Creator or saint, to whom one prays with innocent intentions and an open heart;
  • You can atone for your sins by confessing to a clergyman;
  • It is worth praying not only for yourself, but also for all your loved ones and the deceased and your family.

All prayers are repeated three times. At the end you can read a word of thanks. If the reading of a prayer takes place in a church, then it would be useful to thank everyone who prays with the person praying.

In addition, the prayer for the purification of the family is not simply read. First of all, you need to understand whether there is a curse or terrible deeds in the family.

Some signs indicating a tainted family:

  1. Suicidal thoughts and scattered feelings that were not there before.
  2. Manifestation of frequent diseases.
  3. Constant hypo or hypersexual desire.
  4. Phobias and aggression are suddenly activated.
  5. The sudden manifestation of any addiction that was not previously present.

Prayer of John Krestyankin for the eradication of generational sins

The founder and first reader of the prayer is Elder John. The priest spent up to 40 years of service in Russian churches. With the blessing of Bishop Nikolsky, he became a monk in due time.

He advised the woman who turned to him to help him to read the prayer. The prayer helped, moreover, it quickly spread among believers and became deeply revered.

At the moment of praying to the Lord for forgiveness of the family, it is necessary to be in complete solitude. It will be possible to save the human soul or race only with a sense of pure intentions and motives.

Before prayer, it is better to confess to Father. He will give blessings and forgive all sins. After this, you can begin with an open heart and soul without burdens to cleanse the family.

The prayer should exude sincerity in every word, wisdom, positive emotions and willpower. The purpose of this sacred word is the salvation of the human essence and the purification of it and the race as a whole. While reading, you need to forgive people who have harmed the reader’s family. But you shouldn’t expect a sudden miracle from the prayer immediately after reading it once.

It is good for people to get sick or experience poverty. Everything sent down from above has its end. And nothing is sent to people just like that; God will not send something irresistible. This is given so that difficulties can be overcome and make a person who he is.

Prayer for the generation up to the 12th generation

A person’s life path is influenced by the actions of relatives up to the 12th generation. The family tree consists of living and deceased people. The actions of the latter have a much greater influence on the family than others.

Some of the deceased from the clan receive forgiveness and move on, others remain in purgatory and suffer, not knowing peace. Still others, who have committed cruel offenses, are sent to Hell, and it is because of such dead that the race is covered with a curse and falls into disgrace with the Lord.

The presence of cursed relatives nearby can be determined by the presence of some phobias or addictions that came from nowhere. In this case, it is necessary to immediately begin to cleanse the family. This can be done by fasting, meditation or strict abstinence. It is read when there is complete failure in personal and family matters.

The power of this prayer will help get rid of not only the blackening of the family, but also from intrauterine damage. After reading the sacred word, a person’s life immediately begins to change for the better. Illnesses will disappear, success will come in business and new endeavors.

Prayer for your family to the seventh generation

The process of atonement for sins takes up to 2 months. Before the reading procedure, you must ask for forgiveness from God and the Mother of God. First, church candles and a prayer book are prepared. If it is not there and the prayer is being read for the first time, the reading material can be printed.

Then they begin to pray for themselves, then for the second generation - mother and father. You need to read up to the 7th generation inclusive. It is advisable to have a visual representation of your ancestors.

Reading such a powerful prayer is useful for everyone, regardless of the situation. A person's karma and spirit are filled with positivity. The life well-being of relatives will improve if you not only read a prayer for them, but also ask for forgiveness.

Reprimand the family with prayers for 40 days

The prayer book of this sacred word consists of 2 parts. The first part is pronounced in the first 20 days of the month, while it is advisable to keep a strict fast and refrain from bad deeds. For the second 20 days, you need to read the entire prayer book.

With the said prayer, they ask for forgiveness from all the saints and the Lord himself.

For the reprimand to go well, you must receive the blessing of a clergyman. When the prayer has not yet begun to be read in the house, the presence of the lost dead is felt. After reading the prayer, the room will be cleansed, as will the spirit of the reader himself.

Prayer for forgiveness of parents' sins

Parents are close relatives in spirit to every person. But it happens that children have to atone for their sins. During the period of full maturation and personality formation, children try to return all the gifted care of their parents back. You can ask the Lord for help in this.

A prayer addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos will protect parents and forgive them for their misdeeds. Before reading, you must ask for forgiveness from your parents and God, and also forgive all misadventures from your ancestors.

Higher powers will forgive the sins of the reader and his parents if the person experiences sincere love and a desire to receive forgiveness.

It’s not worth reading a prayer for the forgiveness of sins just like that. Higher powers do not like to be asked to do something in advance. Help and forgiveness will come to those who are full of sincerity and desire to cleanse their family from unclean deeds.
