Rarely does a woman easily survive the effects of abortion. Of course, there are unique ladies who commit infanticide as a glass of water to drink. And they go to abortion all the time. Fortunately, there are fewer of them than those who are tormented by remorse. Other women just start to get depressed.
Is there a prayer after an abortion? Yes, there is one. We will tell you everything in the article.
What is abortion?
It would seem, what a stupid question? This is a medical term, in other words, "cleaning."
Do you know that in Orthodoxy, abortion is a mortal sin? And the woman who committed it, the killer? Just do not brush it off and say that all this is a fairy tale.
Let's think for ourselves: we have a child. At some point, we realize that we are not pulling its content. And ruthlessly kill. Just dismember, like an unnecessary doll.
Those in their right mind will twist their fingers at the temple. And they say, then this is nonsense? What kind of calls are crazy? Who will kill their child? We answer: millions of women are constantly killing their own children.
Abortion - overboard?
Before we talk about prayer for unborn children, let's look at the association. Abortion is overboard. Indeed, the child is thrown overboard life, as if to say: we do not need you.
For what reasons do women have an abortion? The difficult financial situation, the presence of several children, the absence of a husband, lack of housing. There are many reasons, but all this is an excuse.
Murder - it is also murder in Africa. It is not by chance that in the previous paragraph we gave an example with a child. Why do not we, women and mothers, have the idea of killing an adult child? With various financial difficulties, in the absence of housing and other inconveniences, we are ready to infringe on ourselves, but to give the best to the child. He is a child, our blood.
Unborn, destroyed by us, the same blood. And if we do not see it, it does not mean that it is just an embryo from which we can get rid. He is the same child as he is, only so far invisible to us.
Have an abortion, what's next
Lord Jesus Christ, how do you endure us, seeing our behavior, with what simplicity do we take the lives of children in the womb?
It’s good that not everyone does it with ease. The pain that a woman experiences after having an abortion is difficult to understand and describe. This refers to moral pain. My heart is empty, bitter, I want to howl like a wolf. And most importantly, you understand that you went for the murder. And how to live with it further?
Someone pours wine of conscience . And others, having gathered all their will into a fist, go to the temple. In the hope of forgiveness and resolution from such a grave sin.
Is it possible to pray for a murdered child?
Is there a prayer for unborn children, and how can a woman pray for a child killed in the womb?
Prayer exists. And you need to pray at home. The fact is, as we said above, that this sin is very serious. And the way a woman will reprobate him is discussed in confession with the priest. We cannot give any recommendations on this subject here. Perhaps the priest will give the woman penance, or a special prayer rule. It all depends on the priest.
But we were distracted. Here is a prayer mourning for babies, in the womb of the slain, to the Lord.
Remember, Humane God, the souls of the departed slaves of Your babies, who, in the womb of Orthodox mothers, died accidentally from unknown actions, or from a difficult birth, or from some carelessness, or who were deliberately ruined and therefore did not accept Holy Baptism. To besiege them, Lord, in the sea of Your bounty and save Your indescribable grace, and me, the sinful (name), who committed the murder of a baby in my womb, forgive and not deprive Your mercy. Amen.
As we see, in this prayer a woman asks not only for mercy for the aborted child, but also for mercy on herself.
A very short prayer
There is another prayer for the unborn children to the Lord. She is very short, just a few words. It’s not difficult to memorize.
Lord, have mercy on me for my children killed in the womb.
For my tears
The third prayer for unborn children implies tears of repentance. It speaks of tears, and this is what this prayer to God looks like:
Lord, have mercy on my children, who died in my womb, for my faith and my tears, for the sake of Your mercy, Lord, do not deprive them of Your Divine Light.
Prayer for yourself
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us, and forgive our grave sins. So I want to ask the Lord for forgiveness for what we do on our children unborn. And there is such a prayer, by reading which we repent of perfect sin.
O Lord, Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God! The great offer of thy goodness, for our sake and for our sake, for our salvation, has become covered in flesh, and crucified, and buried, and your blood renewing our corrupted nature, accept my repentance of sins and hear my verbs: sin, Lord, in heaven and before thee, with the word , deed, soul and body, and I think of my mind. I have broken Your commandments, I have not listened to Your commandment, I have been angry with Your goodness, My God, but as if your creation is there, I do not despair of salvation, but I dare come to Your immeasurable Goodness and pray to You: Lord! in repentance, give me a broken heart and accept me, praying and give me a good thought, give me tears of tenderness, Lord, give me, by Your grace, lay a good beginning. Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me fallen, and remember me, a sinful servant of Yours in Your Kingdom, now and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer to the Virgin
The Mother of God has great boldness to her Son. We must pray to Her, ask for help. To pray that She pray for us who have committed a terrible sin. And so that the Lord would forgive us with Her prayers.
By the way, the prayer of the Virgin is easy to remember. Read it, do not be lazy. Who, if not the Virgin Mary, saves us and helps in all the falls.
Open the doors of mercy to us, Blessed Virgin Mary, hoping for Thee, that we not perish, but that we rid ourselves of the troubles of thee, you save the salvation of the Christian race. Rejoice, One Pure Mother of the One Creator, the Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ! Wake up the Intercessor on the day of a terrible trial, I will always appear on the Throne of the Judiciary, so that I will be rid of Thy prayers with the help of Your prayers, the One Blessed One. Blessed Virgin Mary, save us!
Akathist
In addition to prayers, there is an akathist about babies ruined in the womb. For those who want to bring sincere repentance and pray for the children killed in the womb, we publish a video with an akathist.
Prayer to the Martyr Huara
One of the wonders of St. Ouar is Cleopatra's warning of the forgiveness of her son's sins. For information, the son died unbaptized.
Women who have committed the sin of abortion seek help from a martyr. Here we publish the text of the prayer.
Oh, the holy martyr Uare, the venerable, we kindle with zeal for the Lord Christ, confessed the heavenly King before the tormentor, and now the Church honors thee, as if glorifying from the Lord Christ with the glory of Heaven, Even the grace of great boldness unto Him has been granted to you, and now it is before Him and in the highest joys, and see clearly the Holy Trinity, and the light of the beginningless Radiance you enjoy: remember our relatives, the languor, who died in wickedness, accept our petition, and Cleopatrin as an unfaithful kind, through your prayers from eternal torment freed thou, so in spomyani Jelica protivobozhne pogrebennyya who died unbaptized (s), add-on potschisya isprositi vechnyya darkness deliverance, yes, all ye that with one mouth and one heart Premiloserdnago praise the Creator for ever and ever. Amen.
Can babies be remembered in church
If we figured out a prayer for unborn children, then where and how to pray is not clear.
The first thing you need to know. Notes on aborted babies in the temple must not be submitted. Because these children were not baptized, and they have no names.
The second point: they don’t put candles for them.
According to the third church rule, no funeral services and magpies are ordered for such children.
But what about the mother herself? Is it possible to submit memorial notes with one's name before the moment when they have been in confession?
Yes, everything is possible. And submit health notes, and magpies for themselves.
As we see, unfortunately, it is forbidden to commemorate unborn children in the temple.
Pray at home
All prayers published in the article are for home reading. What time of day to read them does not matter.
What is the most necessary? Regular prayer for the children killed in the womb, and for the mother who committed this. A woman who has had an abortion should not wait for her relatives to pray for her in the temple. They will pray, but sin is not committed by them.
How to pray at home? It's simple: print out the texts of prayers, stand in front of the images and pray earnestly, without being distracted by thoughts in other thoughts. During prayer, the mind should be directed only to thoughtful reading.
If both are to blame
With a woman who had an abortion, everything is clear. And what to do next is also clear. But in the process of creating a child, dad is also involved, who is often an abortion partner.
Someone will be outraged, they say, a woman goes to the hospital. Yes, but the man pushes her, and sometimes insists on an abortion. And motivates it with everyday difficulties. He is an indirect accomplice to the crime.
What to do such a woe-dad? Go to the temple with my wife. And to confess that he incited his spouse to have an abortion. And further actions are carried out in agreement with the clergyman.
Amazing icon
Do you know that there is the icon “Jesus Crying for Abortion”? And when you look at her, the heart is contracting painfully. This icon is very sobering and makes you think about the crime.
It was written by the abbot of a Greek Orthodox monastery. The icon depicts the Savior. And in His hand is the tormented body of the child. It looks, frankly, very scary and sad.
Prayers are served in front of the icon. And for many women, she is a warning against a terrible step.
In Russia there is a copy of the icon. It is located in the St. Nicholas Matronovsky Church.
It is known that at the end of December 2013 this icon was streaming.
Where is the temple located?
He is relatively "young." It was built just ten years ago. But, despite this, the life of the parish is in full swing, not stopping. The Rector, Priest Peter, organized the “Give Life” project.
For those who would like to pray in front of the icon described above, we publish the address of the temple: Bataysk city, Matrosova street, 1c.
Opening hours
The temple is open daily. It can be visited from eight in the morning until five in the evening.
Divine services are not performed every day, but on Saturdays and Sundays it is obligatory.
- The morning service begins at 7.30 a.m.
- The evening service begins at 5 p.m.
Phone and Email
To find out a more accurate schedule of services, you can call the abbot himself, Father Peter, or by the city number. Phones are listed on the temple website.
Or, as an option, send an email with your questions: hram-rdvs@mail.ru
Is it possible to grind abortion?
Can a woman who has committed the murder of a child pray for forgiveness and salvation of her soul? Of course, not only can this be done, but also necessary. God is merciful, He forgives our most serious sins.
Only, having stumbled once, you cannot fall into this abyss again. Imagine what games we play with God, repenting of the sin of abortion, and then committing it again? And again we will come to confession and utter words about abortion. Exactly what are words. Because there is no sincere repentance. We are talking about our sin, we really want to avoid it again. But, as often happens, it doesn’t work. Sin is repeated, and again we go to confession, asking for forgiveness.
Please do not play such games. Once you have received forgiveness, do not commit such grave sin again. And it will be hard on the soul, and the realization that once again fell into the dirt itself is crushing. And God is very ashamed. Anyway, killing is very scary.
Conclusion
In the article, we presented information about prayer for unborn children. The texts of not only prayers were brought to the Lord, but also to the Virgin, and to the holy martyr Huar.
It was told how to pray and where, about the confession of this sin. And most importantly, they considered the opportunity to grind it.
As mentioned above, the sin of abortion is very serious. How does a woman with certain moral principles go to him? The agony of conscience will simply be strangled, or even the murdered child will begin to dream.
