Life sends us trials, and not every one of us can endure sorrows and problems with honor and dignity . The Lord sends us hardships in the hope that we will begin to appreciate the gift of life, but we often bring ourselves in trouble. And heavenly intercessors come to our aid. If we cannot leave our sinful life, and the lessons of fate are for us in vain, then the heavenly Angels look at us and sigh sadly. Many of them are former inhabitants of the Earth, having gone through a difficult life, having endured all sorrows with deep faith and righteousness.
Angel living on earth
Matrona of Moscow is one of the celestials who experienced a terrible fate. She was distinguished by kindness and honesty. The purity of her thoughts was coupled with a love of nature, plants. It is not in vain that her icon is always decorated with beautiful flowers, which she adored during her lifetime. And in a difficult moment of sorrow, illnesses of those close to us, the Matron of Moscow helps us. An akathist performed in her honor sounds soft and beautiful. Requests and glorification to the Holy come from the souls of crying mothers and fathers for the life of a child, a loved one. Akathist Matrone of Moscow can also be read within the walls of his house, thanking the Lord for such a caring guardian and helper in difficult times.
Matrona was blind, and before her birth, the Holy Mother saw a dream in which a dove with her eyes closed sat on her hands. Pigeons are God's message, and the dream announced the birth of the chosen one of the Lord. Throughout her life, the Matron suffered her blindness firmly and meekly. Despite the fact that the other children in the family were supporters of atheism, champions of the kulaks, Matron believed in God and truly served in the name of the Creator. The Akathist to the Holy Matrona of Moscow contains words about the wisdom that the Lord endowed with the holy martyr.
The meekness and humility of the future seer
The girl’s bliss was also evident in relations with her peers, she forgave bullying and resentment, and from childhood she was distinguished by the kindness of Matrona of Moscow. The Akathist says so: "Rejoice, having been filled with the gift of wisdom from God from above."
The girl went to church from early childhood, because the temple was located near her house. Parents were pious, worshiped all religious holidays, their blind daughter Matrona of Moscow did the same.
An akathist is a hymn in honor of some Holy servant of God in Heaven, and we perform church hymns with great hope and say prayers to the Angels and Archangels. But do not forget to remember about the patron saint of the sick, the words to which will certainly bring healing.
There is a legend about the Holy Matron, which is passed on by word of mouth by believers. They say that in childhood, a blind seer saw in a dream the icon “Recovery of the dead” and, in order to realize what she saw, asked people to raise money and ask the artist to write it. The artist, who had extensive experience in painting, could not make an order, and Matron asked him to confess and solve a serious sin - murder. Only after the sacrament and frank confession did the artist manage to write a unique icon. The man came to righteousness thanks to the blind seer girl, who was the Holy Matron of Moscow. Akathist for the blessed contains Kondaky, Ikosa, prayers.
Prayer is not only a request, but also a gratitude
In your words, ask for God's blessing, give thankful words to the Creator and magnify the name of the Holy Patron Saint. In prayers, open your soul and do not forget to read prayers as often as possible. Believe me, Heaven will hear our requests, and Angels will come to the rescue, among which will be the powerful power of the blessed defender Matrona of Moscow. The days of veneration of our beloved patroness are August 21, September 22, April 19.
