Orthodox prayers in pictures for all occasions

Ancient prayer to the Lord according to Archbishop John Shakhovsky

Among the many amazing books by Bernard Werber, The Tree of the Possible occupies a special place.

...if a huge stinking meteorite falls into the center of Paris,

...if aliens breed us like pets,

...if it turns out that trees are intelligent, thinking creatures,

...if your own hand will rebel against you...

It turns out that the future is a completely controllable element, subject to us, but we need to think about it in advance...

Bernard Werber
The Tree of Possibility and Other Stories

Dedicated to Titian

Preface

When I was little, my father always told me a story at night.

And then I saw her in a dream.

Every time the world seemed too complicated, I made up a fairy tale that contained a little of my troubles. This brought immediate relief.

At school, children asked me to write stories for them. Often these stories began with the words: “He opened the door and froze.”

Over time, the stories became more and more incredible. Then it turned into a game with the only rule - find a problem and then find an unusual solution to it.

When I wrote my first novel, in order not to forget how to quickly come up with fairy tales, I spent one hour in the evening writing stories. So I took a break from the morning labors devoted to the creation of “serious novels.”

The plot for the short story was born from observations during a walk, from conversations with a friend, from dreams, from sorrows that I wanted to get rid of by moving them into a story.

The Mystery of Numbers was inspired by a conversation with my little nephew, who told me that in his class there was a hierarchy that divided students into those who could count to ten and those who could count further.

The idea for “Blackness” came to me when I saw an overly caring passerby trying to get an old man across the road who didn’t need it at all.

"The Last Riot" was written after visiting a nursing home.

"The Silent Friend" - after a conversation with Professor Gerard Amzallag, a biologist who studies various forms of life. The scientific discovery described in the novel is little known, but completely real.

Some details from "Let's Learn to Love Them" will be included in the play, which is called "Our Human Friends."

It has always been interesting to me, when talking about us humans, to take the point of view of beings different from us. This is an inexhaustible source of thought. I have already used the "exotic view of humanity" technique in "Ants", where my hero, number 103, tries to understand human behavior by watching the news on TV, and in "Empire of Angels", where Michel Panson observes mortals from heaven and with bitterness makes sure that they are trying to "reduce their misfortunes instead of building happiness."

Ants and angels: two points of view on a person - from infinitely “low” to infinitely “high”. This book will have an infinitely “different” point of view.

The Tree of Possibility is an invention I've been dreaming about ever since I lost to the computer at chess. If a bunch of pieces of iron are capable of anticipating any possible options development of the party, why not put into it the entire body of human knowledge, all the hypotheses of the future, so that it gives possible options for the development of our society for a short, medium and long period of time.

"School for Young Gods" is a draft of a future novel that continues "Empire of Angels." Its problems are education and everyday life one of the gods who govern us.

These short stories will help the reader understand how my novels are born.

Each story is an assumption taken to its logical conclusion. What will happen if you launch a rocket into the Sun, if a meteorite falls into the Luxembourg Gardens, if a person’s skin becomes transparent...

I would like to tell these stories in your ear.

Let's learn to love them

As a child, each of us had entertainment - people at home. They sat in a cage, spun tirelessly in a wheel, or lived in an aquarium with a beautiful artificial landscape.

However, in addition to tame people, there are also wild ones. They are nothing like the ones that live in our gutters and attics, multiplying quickly and forcing us to use humanicides.

Not long ago, a planet was discovered where wild people live, without even knowing about our existence. This is located strange place near space highway 33. Wild people live together. They have created large nests, know how to use tools, and even have a communication system based on a characteristic squeak. There are many legends about this planet, where wild creatures live. They say that they have bombs that can destroy the entire planet and that they use pieces of paper instead of money. Some say that they eat each other and build cities at the bottom of the sea. To separate fact from fiction, our government, since 12008 (as part of the "Don't Kill Them Without Trying To Understand" program), has sent researchers to this planet to study wild people while remaining invisible to them. We present the results of these little-known studies in this article. Here's her plan:

Wild human beings in their natural habitat.

Their customs and method of reproduction.

How to care for them at home.

Wild human creatures in natural habitat

1. Where can you meet wild people?

Human beings are found almost everywhere in our galaxies, but the only place where they have been able to develop independently is the Earth. Where is this planet located? When going on vacation, you often wonder how to avoid big space traffic jams. Take Kosmostrada 33, perhaps longer, but less crowded. Pull over near road number 707 and you will see a yellowish, dim galaxy. Park your interplanetary car and approach.

On the left side of this galaxy you will notice a rather old and battered solar system, where Earth is the only planet with signs of life.

The earth is surrounded by white vapor, its surface has a bluish tint. This is explained big amount oxygen, hydrogen and carbon in its atmosphere.

2. How to recognize them?

Take a magnifying glass and look at the savage: thick hair on the top of his head, pink, white or brown skin, paws with many toes. When walking, people maintain balance on their hind legs, with their butts slightly protruding. They breathe (mainly oxygen) through two small holes, and through the other two they perceive sounds. Two more holes serve to capture vibrations of light waves. (Craig's experiment: if a person is blindfolded, he will start to stumble.) Humans do not have a radar system that allows them to navigate in the dark, which explains their weaker nighttime activity compared to daytime. (Brons' experiment: put a person in a box and close the lid. After a short period of time, the person begins to emit a desperate squeak. People are afraid of the dark.)

3. How to find people on Earth?

There are many ways to detect them. First of all, these are lights at night and smoke during the day. When you land your interplanetary vehicle, you will notice their trails - large black lines.

Sometimes in the forest you can meet people-tourists, or people-peasants, or people-scouts.

There are many subspecies of humans on Earth: aquatic people with black flipper-like legs, flying people with a large triangular wing on their back, smoking people who constantly release steam from their mouths.

4. How to approach them?

Prayers occupy a very important place in people's lives. They often help in the most critical situations and give strength for active action in the struggle for well-being and happiness.

Prayers are a way of communicating with God, seeking support and one’s place in the world. For every Orthodox Christian, this is a kind of daily ritual that helps to lead a righteous life and resist negative manifestations. There are three prayers that are said in different life situations. They are able to help find a way out of any situation.

Prayer for protection and help

“Lord Almighty! Your faithful servant (name) turns to You. Save me, Lord, in my weakness. Let me see the path hidden from me in the darkness. Help me not to get bogged down in my doubts, protect me from my enemies and spiteful critics. Don't let me turn off the road illuminated by Your light. Protect me from the machinations of the devil, so that they do not encroach on my soul, given by You. Amen".

Prayer for happiness

“Virgin Mother of God! You, chosen by God for a holy mission, glorified throughout the centuries. I turn to you for help. Bless, Virgin Mary, the servant of God (name), and help him find true happiness, achieved through righteous labors. Do not turn away your gaze and bless me for the success of my quest. Yes, it is not an offense to the human race, I do not work for the sake of self-interest and not for slander. For the good of myself and my family, and for the happiness of myself and my neighbors. Help, Mother, protect me from troubles and sorrows and help me find true love, given by God. Amen".

Prayer for forgiveness of sins

“Lord God! I appeal to You. I entrust my soul and body to You, all my feelings and deeds. Merciful God, deliver me from sin, direct my thoughts to good deeds, and do not leave me in the hour of doubt and timidity in front of my opponents and insoluble matters. My sins are on my conscience, help, Lord, to cleanse my soul from the blackness that consumes me. Guide me, may my strength not dry out under Your gaze. Guide me on the true path and save me from the devil, who seduces me into malice and betrayal. Amen".

You can say these prayers at any time when you feel the need for support. Open your hearts and souls to Heaven and resist with all your might the evil, external and internal. We wish you joy and happiness, and do not forget to press the buttons and

There will be no slaughter from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days, from things that come in darkness, from the debris and the demon of the midday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise Look into Your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope; You have made the Most High your refuge. No evil will come to you, and no wound will come near your body, as He commanded His angels about you, to keep you in all your ways.

I am in his tribulation, I will destroy him and glorify him, I will fill him with long days, I will show him My salvation.”

Venerable Moses Murin

Oh, the great power of repentance! O immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber. You were horrified by your sins, grieved over them, and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your iniquities and in difficult deeds, you spent your days until your death and received Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles. Oh, venerable one, from grave sins you have achieved wonderful virtues, help the slaves (name) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body. Bow your merciful gaze upon them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, will not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their death, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate (name), who were possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, for we are all God’s creations and redeemed by the Most Pure One By the blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the power to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from wine drinking, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, will love abstinence and piety and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures. Amen".

Prayer of spouses without children

“Hear us, Merciful and Almighty God, may Your grace be sent down through our prayer. Be merciful, Lord, to our prayer, remember Your law about the multiplication of the human race and be a merciful Patron, so that with Your help what You have established will be preserved. He created everything out of nothing and laid the foundation for everything that exists in the world - He created man in His image and with a high secret sanctified the union of marriage as a foreshadowing of the mystery of the unity of Christ with the Church. Look, O Merciful One, on us, Your servants, united in a marital union and begging for Your help , may Thy mercy be upon us, may we be fruitful and may we see the sons of our sons even to the third and fourth generation and to the desired old age, live and enter the Kingdom of Heaven by the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honor and worship is due Holy Spirit forever.

“In our hearts is the Lord God, in front is the Holy Spirit; help me with you to start, live and finish the day.”

Going to long journey or just for some business, it’s good to mentally say:
"My angel, come with me: you are ahead, I am behind you." And the Guardian Angel will help you in any endeavor.

To improve your life, it is good to read the following prayer daily:
“Merciful Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit, save, preserve and have mercy on me, the servant of God (name). Take away from me the damage, the evil eye and bodily pain forever. Merciful Lord, cast out the demon from me, the servant of God. Merciful Lord, heal me, God's servant (name). Amen."

If you are worried about your loved ones, say the following prayer until calm comes:
“Lord, save, preserve, have mercy (names of loved ones). Everything will be fine with them!”
