Prayer to the Matrona of Moscow - what is it about? What do Orthodox Christians ask for when they turn to a saint? We will answer these questions for you in this article!
What do they pray to the holy Matrona of Moscow?
Saint Matrona of Moscow is a Russian saint of the 20th century. Born blind and crippled, from childhood she spent a lot of time in prayer to God, and the Lord granted her mercy - to comfort people and help people.
The Matrona of Moscow is glorified as a saint and she is asked to beg God to grant us help in our problems, troubles and sorrows.
N. Sukhinina writes: “Recently I allowed myself a little experiment. I called several Muscovites I knew to choose from - did you receive help from Blessed Matronushka? Here are the answers.
- She got me a job, I knocked the thresholds for six months, and came to her, asked ...
- My husband was threatened with an operation, I never sobbed so much to Matronushka, doctors to this day cannot understand anything.
- My son fought in Chechnya, so I, as for work, went to the Pokrovsky Monastery, asking for her prayers. Returned...
- My daughter went on a prodigal path, so every day I read the akathist to the blessed Matronushka, begged.
- I changed the apartment only thanks to Matronushka.
Helps everyone. Russian, she feels sorry for everyone. I saw a big purple Negro with a bouquet of flowers in line for the relics. Wind, sleet, and he stands and smiles. Of course, they tried to "split" him. And he says one thing:
We all need. So we go here, to the Intercession Monastery, not always with flowers, but always with sins and requests: deliver, help, tell me, put in a word.
