Paraskeva Friday prayers for marriage
All little girls in their childhood dream of their prince, of great love and a magnificent beautiful wedding. With time of growing up, desires and ideas about the world around us, of course, change, but the desire to find your true love and soul mate, get married and create a truly strong family and spend the rest of your life with your loved one will always be unchanged.
Some girls find their soul mate quickly, and some do not succeed and the wrong people come across on the path of life. As they say, she is both smart and beautiful, but there is absolutely no happiness in her personal life.
- And how to be in such a situation? What tricks the beautiful half of humanity does not go to in order to find love, but there is nothing more sincere and correct than the prayer for the marriage of Paraskeva. *
Following Christian Orthodox legends, the family is a small church, and there is nothing shameful in asking the Saints and the Lord for marriage. Only the prayer for marriage is encouraged by the Orthodox faith, and no earthly tricks, much less magical conspiracies.
For prayer, it is good to visit a prayerful place where holy relics and faces of saints are brought, to whom a petition will be addressed.
There is such an Orthodox belief that this Saint roams the earth under the guise of a beautiful young girl, in a peasant or monastic guise, and watches over us, who honors and lives according to Orthodox customs and who has sunk into grave sins.
In the images of Russian icon painters, St. Paraskeva is tall, strict, with a radiant wreath on her head.
How will the prayer for the marriage of Paraskeva help?
Since the time of Holy Russia, this Great Martyr has helped:
Heal mental and physical ailments;
Find your soul mate and get married;
Find a long-awaited child even with a diagnosis of infertility.
A prayer for marriage to St. Paraskeva will help you marry for love, precisely for your soul mate. Children of St. Paraskeva are celebrated on 28.10. according to the old style or 10.11. in a new style. Christians greatly revere this icon, so the face of this Saint is in almost every church.
The text of the prayer for marriage (First Theologian):
O Holy Martyr of God Paraskevo, maiden beauty, protection of martyrs, pure holy image, mirror of generosity, wise mentor, guardian of the Orthodox faith, accuser of evil, guardian of the commandments of God, descended to the haven of eternal rest, adorned with a virgin martyr's crown. I pray you saint, ask the Lord Christ for us.
Pray to the Almighty to save us from mental and bodily illnesses, kindle a fire in the soul with prayer and forgive us our sins, pray to the Father to condescend spiritual grace to us, for the sake of Paraskevo and the Lord we will pray tirelessly. With your holy mouth, give us sinners help, ask and pray for your negligent sinners, send help to us, for we ourselves are weak.
Pray to the Most High Virgin Merciful Holy Martyr, protect us from the darkness of sin in the light of true faith, and give us Eternal Light with your Heavenly Forces.
Amen.
The text of the prayer to Paraskeva (Second Theologian)
Often this saint is addressed with such prayer words:
* Holy Bride of God, with all our soul and heart, let us love Thy King. You, with your pious strength and righteous chastity, like the rays of the sun, enlighten us to a righteous life, as in Christ the Savior among those who corrected him. Bring to our hearts always and at all times to reverently honor the redemptive days of the Lord Jesus, because hedgehog suffered for his sake.
You, with the right hand of the angels of the Lord, heal the wounds of the soul that hide faith and enlighten the unfaithful tormentors. You, on behalf of the Lord Almighty, by the power of your theologian, fell to your knees in the temple of idols and pagans and crushed the ashes.
Your suffering feat ascended into heaven with your soul, into the chamber of the Bridegroom Jesus Christ, who joyfully meets you with heavenly happiness: rejoice righteously, martyr Paraskeva. And we bless you with a long-suffering day, and look at your holy face with tenderness. We are all impudent and sinful to the Lord, pray to the Almighty philanthropist for our souls, and may he give us complacency and patience in mournful troubles. May the Lord, through your intercession, grant us a peaceful existence and prosperity, salvation in health, good love for our fatherland, and condescend to peace and a blessing to all Orthodox believers, and affirm with your prayer in holiness and piety, grant us virtue and cleanse us from grave sins, for we repent, let him protect us from vices and filth with angels, have mercy and save his heirs and communicants.
Amen.*
The most important thing in saying a prayer is not so much words as sincere faith, which must come from the very heart. And then your request will be surely heard.
How to read a prayer for marriage
