Prayer of the Optina Elders

Grant unto me, O Lord, that with peace of mind I may face all that this new day is to bring.

 

Grant unto me to dedicate myself completely to Thy Holy Will.

 

For every hour of this day, instruct and support me in all things.

 

Whatsoever tidings I may receive during the day, do Thou teach me to accept tranquilly, in the firm conviction that all eventualities fulfill Thy Holy Will.

 

Govern Thou my thoughts and feelings in all I do and say.

 

When things unforeseen occur , let me not forget that all cometh down from Thee.

 

Teach me to behave sincerely and rationally toward every member of my family, that I may bring confusion and sorrow to none.

 

Bestow upon me, my Lord, strength to endure the fatigue of the day, and to bear my part in all its passing events.

 

Guide Thou my will and teach me to pray, to believe, to hope, to suffer, to forgive, and to love.

 

Amen

Saints who were also Mothers - Saints that had Family and Children

Saints who were also Mothers - Saints that had Family and Children

In the Orthodox Synaxarion, there are several female Saints, who were also mothers. Mother Saints are a characteristic example of christian love, spiritual strength, and patience. Throughout their lives, they carried out a huge Christian work, stood by their family and sacrificed themselves for their faith and children. Furthermore, these mothers serve as a shining example for families today and reveal the power of motherhood and the upbringing of children on the path of the Lord. Through the lives of the Holy Mothers, the value of faith and boundless love for the Lord Jesus Christ and the family is raised.

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Prayer to our Lord

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Prayer to our Lord

«Lord, grant me only humility and silence. I ask nothing else from You. Humility births love for all Your creations. I know that I am the greatest sinner, and no one else in the universe has embittered You as much as I, the despicable one, have. Help me to live with this every day. Do not let the devil fool me into thinking I am something when I am nothing. Grant me only to feel how sinner I am and help me to follow Your commandments to find mercy from Your countless love. Do not let me despair because of my sins but let me rejoice every day because You have mercy on me and will save me because You are compassionate. Do not let me have evil thoughts or judge my fellow human beings. I am to blame for them, and since I am the cause of their sin, I must only judge myself. Lord, Lord, do not deprive me of the river of Your divine mercy. Amen!».
