Despite the fact that for the fifteenth year we have been living in the twenty-first century, the remnants of the distant past are still quite relevant. A modern person who goes to work with a laptop and happily greets all computer technology, still shies away from a black cat and a woman with empty buckets, rejoices when he sees a pretty white spider and, of course, believes that there is some mysterious and sinister power, causing harm, which is called spoilage in everyday life.
Increasingly, there are ads on the Internet and in newspapers stating that the “hereditary witch” will easily save the sufferer from corruption and the evil eye ... But the church does not stay idle, and, fortunately, after many years of stagnation, its doors are open to everyone wishing. It remains only to figure out whether there are Orthodox prayers from the evil eye and corruption?
What is evil eye and corruption?
In the Orthodox world, the name of Father German Chesnokov is widely known. This gray-bearded old man with a straight posture and strict piercing gaze is called the last exorcist, the implacable opponent of the enemy of the human race. Father Herman has many saved souls, and he believes that most of those who turn to him for help suffer precisely because they used the services of "grandmothers." Unfortunately, those who call themselves hereditary magicians and psychics are often ordinary charlatans, but among them there are those who, having icons at home, and sincerely believing that they use exclusively Orthodox prayers for the evil eye and corruption, they turn to God for help at all ...
Miracles of the Holy Martyr Cyprian
Many people are sure that St. Cyprian is the only one to whom the Orthodox prayers from the evil eye and corruption are dedicated. What was this saint?
“We often believe what is written in the newspapers, but we don’t believe what the Bible says,” one wise man once said. You can understand what repels skeptics. Miracles of saints, Christ himself, the apostles were presented to us in the form of epic epics, legends, but the most important thing in them is not the very fact of miraculous healing or resurrection, but something else.
Saint Cyprian was, as they would say now, an intelligent man. Brought up in a noble family, well-educated, having no needs, he went to comprehend the basics of sorcery on Mount Olympus, and succeeded a lot in this. Tradition claims that he was on “you” with the devil himself and brought a lot of trouble to people. But, as they say, the ways of the Lord are inscrutable. After a while, according to the prayers of the maiden Justina, Cyprian converted to Christianity, and even was honored with a martyr's end. And during the years that remained for him to live on earth, he performed many miracles, and converted many pagans and sorcerers to the holy faith. Now many texts of Orthodox prayers are addressed specifically to him.
The power of prayer
“Your faith has saved you,” the Lord said to the people who came to Him for help more than once. In fact, if you dig a little deeper, such a thing as "Orthodox prayers from the evil eye and corruption" does not exist. For some reason, many people, even those who have been churches, relate to prayers, as once our ancestors did to pagan spells - requests addressed to the gods. In order to understand the power of prayer, you just need to ... believe that God hears us always and everywhere, and even a simple “Lord have mercy!” Said from the bottom of his heart costs thousands of all kinds of “grandmother's” charms and talismans. In a word, you should not be led onto such an attractive bait as Orthodox prayers for corruption. Because people involved in “healing with prayers” are infinitely far from both Orthodoxy and extrasensory skills. Every person can protect himself from evil eye and spoilage, and for this it is not at all necessary to look for a suitable "grandmother". Father Herman sincerely believes that a person who has completely entrusted himself to God is protected from devilish machinations, even though, as Serafim Sarovsky argued, "the smallest demon can turn the globe over with one motion of a claw."
