Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Symbol of faith

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

Virgin Mary

Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O Blessed Mary, the Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

Worthy to eat

It is worthy to eat as you truly bless Thee, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption.

Sunday hymn for reading the Gospel

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship Your Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Your holy Resurrection: for You are our God, do we know no other to You, we call Your name. Come, all you faithful, let us worship the Holy Resurrection of Christ: behold, through the Cross joy has come to the whole world. Always blessing the Lord, we sing His Resurrection: having endured the crucifixion, destroy death by death.

Song of the Blessed Virgin Mary

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

Chorus: Most honorable Cherub and most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, the real Mother of God, we magnify You.

As you look upon the humility of Your servant, behold, from now on all your kindred will please Me.

For the Mighty One has done greatness to Me, and holy is His name, and His mercy throughout all generations of those who fear Him.

Create power with Your arm, scatter the proud thoughts of their hearts.

Destroy the mighty from their thrones and lift up the humble; Fill those who hunger with good things, and those who are rich let go of their vanities.

Israel will receive His servant, remembering His mercies, as He spoke to our fathers, Abraham and his seed, even unto eternity.

Prayer of Righteous Simeon the God-Receiver

Now release Thy servant, O Master, according to Thy word in peace; For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light for the revelation of tongues, and the glory of Your people Israel.

Psalm 50, repentance

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. To You alone have I sinned and done evil before You; for you may be justified in all of Your words, and you will always triumph over Your judgment. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

  It is worthy to eat as you truly bless Thee, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, the real Mother of God.

  Worthy to eat- should, must. For truly- truly, in fairness ( like- How). Blažiti- praise. Ever-blessed- always blessed ( constantly- Always). Immaculate- the most immaculate, completely sinless. Most honorable Cherub- worthy of greater honor than the Cherubim. The most glorious without comparison, Seraphim- deserving incomparably greater glorification than the Seraphim. Without decay– without compromising cleanliness. Existing– valid.

  Cherubim(in Hebrew this word means “outpouring of wisdom”) and Seraphim(“flaming”) – the highest Angels, closest to God.

  + Second half of the prayer - "The most honorable Cherub..."(it is still independently used in worship) - composed in the 8th century by Saint Cosmas, Bishop of Maium... According to legend, this song was composed by him on Good Friday, a particularly mournful day for the Mother of God. After this, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to the monk and with a joyful face said: “Your songs are pleasant to Me, but this one is more pleasant than all the others; I am pleased with those who sing spiritual songs, but I am never so close to them as when they sing this new song of yours.” Words Most honorable Cherub go back to the laudatory words of the Mother of God of Ephraim the Syrian: “More honorable than the Cherubim, incomparable before all the heavenly armies...”

  In the 10th century, this song chosen by the Mother of God received an even more miraculous beginning.

  In one of the monasteries of Holy Mount Athos, a novice prayed in his cell. There was a knock on the door, an unfamiliar, beautiful-looking monk entered and joined in the chant. When the Athonite novice was about to begin the glorification of the Mother of God “Most Honorable Cherubs...”, the guest stopped him and sang another, unknown beginning: “It is worthy to eat as truly the blessedness of You, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and Mother of our God,” and already to these hitherto unknown, he added the ending to the words: “The most honorable Cherub.”

  The Athonite monk was touched by the wondrous words and the sounds of the angelic voice, and began to ask the stranger monk to write him the beginning of the cherished song. But in the cell there was neither parchment (on which they wrote before the invention of paper) nor ink. Then the guest asked to bring a stone slab and with the end of his finger he wrote the words he sang on the slab. Handing the slab to the astonished monk, he said: “From now on, always sing like this, both you and all Orthodox Christians,” and became invisible. Then the monk realized that an Angel of God had visited him.

  Since then, this amazing prayer has remained in the Church, in which the angelic song was added to the inspired human creation: since 980, according to the conciliar definition of the Church, the chant began to be sung in a new, complete edition.

  Note. From Easter to Ascension, instead of this prayer, the chorus and irmos of the 9th song of the Easter canon are read:

  The angel cried out with grace: Pure Virgin, rejoice! And again the river: Rejoice! Your Son is risen three days from the grave, and raised up the dead; people, have fun!

  Shine, shine, new Jerusalem, for the glory of the Lord is upon you. Rejoice now and be glad, O Zion; You, Pure One, show off, O Mother of God, about the rising of Your Nativity.

  This remark also applies to future bedtime prayers.

  Glory, and now: Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)

  Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all saints, have mercy on us, Amen.

  This prayer is beloved by all Christian people! It is sung in the church during the evening service (All-Night Vigil), and according to some saints, the Most Holy Theotokos, while singing this prayer, walks around the church and blesses those who pray with zeal.

  Below we have posted a video clip of this wondrous prayer being sung by the choir of the Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery, and under the video are the words of the prayer.

  My soul magnifies the Lord,

  and my spirit rejoiced in God my Savior,

  Good health to everyone! Tell me, is it possible to sing this chant before Communion at the Divine Liturgy? Or only strictly at the All-Night Vigil?

  Before communion, during the so-called “pre-communion pause,” various hymns are sung dedicated to the Lord, the Mother of God and St. saints of Christ. Yes, of course, this chant can also be sung before communion.

  God bless you!

  Thank you very much! I will teach and sing.

  Now I just found out that you can ask a question to the Priest. I did not dare to ask my parish priest about this. About 8 years ago, when I was just beginning to seriously visit the temple, during the evening service, the altar icon of the Lord with the golden rays emanating from it was momentarily transformed: all the rays merged into one golden radiance, and in the middle was the Savior. I shuddered and began to peer, but it was only a moment. I often think about this during services and think, how should I approach this?

  I will be grateful if you answer.

  I advise you not to pay attention to this kind of vision. The Holy Fathers teach not to attach importance to such visions, since they are not useful to us, and are often from the evil one, in order to make us proud.

  Peace and God's blessing to you!

  My favorite prayer, and the Diveyevo sisters sing it wonderfully. For a long time I was going to find the text on the Internet, and finally I opened it. Thank you.

  Listen, for the glory of God!

  Thank you for the song of the Mother of God! I love her very much! I'm glad I discovered your site!)))

  Irina, please, for the glory of God!

  Go to Audio section site where there is a lot of Orthodox and interesting material.

  The Blessed Virgin Mary paid a visit to her distant relative, the righteous Elisabeth, who was already in her old age. Both women were pregnant. The joy of the Divine presence filled the baby in the womb of Elizabeth and was transmitted to his mother. She met the Mother of God with prophetic words of blessing of the Son of God.

  In response, the Queen of Heaven uttered a solemn hymn to the glory of the Lord. Her speech of gratitude was recorded and later turned into the prayer "Most Honest Cherub."

  How is the prayer read?

  The Gospel contains almost no descriptions of the speeches of the Most Holy Queen of Heaven, but this lyrical and prophetic text of the prayer “The Most Honest Cherub” received a liturgical purpose in Christianity. According to the traditions of Orthodoxy, the prayer of the Mother of God “Most Honest Cherub” is usually sung at Matins between the eighth and ninth canons.

  The deacon conducts the rite of incense throughout the entire church. He starts from the holy throne and altar, then goes around the royal gate and stops on the right side of the iconostasis at the icon of the Mother of God, then gives the order to the choir to begin singing.

  In some churches they sing antiphonally in two choirs, but in most cases the Most Honest Cherub prayer is performed by the entire community together with the parishioners.

  This doxology is a tribute to the recognition and reverence of the Virgin Mary as the true Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.

  Believers say that the Most Holy Mother of God overshadows those who sincerely pray with all their hearts with a personal blessing.

  How does the prayer “More Honest Cherub” help?

  

  Since ancient times, the Mother of God has acted as the protector of the human race before the Lord. You can trust her and tell her about all your joys and sorrows. The Queen of Heaven will increase joy and quench sorrow. People turn to her in the following cases:

  • diffidence;
  • greed, envy and selfish intentions;
  • in search of answers to painful questions;
  • in a difficult life situation.

  The Mother of God bestows humility and fortitude, delivers from all evil thoughts and confirms us on the righteous path. According to the faith of the one who asks, may it come to him.

  The text of the prayer is completely in Russian

  The original text of the prayer to the Mother of God “Most Honest Cherub” was created in Greek and later translated into Slavic.

  My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

  As you look upon the humility of Your servant, behold, from now on all your kindred will please Me.

  Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary

  ^ Virgin Mary, rejoice

  Virgin Mary, Rejoice, full of grace Mary, the Lord is with You, Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

  Mother of God Virgin Mary, filled with the grace of God, rejoice! The Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit born of You, because You gave birth to the Savior of our souls.

  Words Rejoice, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women taken from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel when he announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary the birth from Her according to the flesh of the Son of God (Luke 1:28).

  Words Blessed are You among women mean that the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the Mother of God, is glorified more than all other women (Luke 1:42; Ps. 44:18).

  Blagodatnaya- full of grace, mercy from God.

  Words blessed is the fruit of your womb taken from the greeting of righteous Elizabeth, when the Holy Virgin Mary, after the Annunciation, wished to visit her (Luke 1:42). The fruit of her womb– Son of God Jesus Christ.

  It is truly worthy to praise You, Mother of God, eternally blessed and immaculate and Mother of our God. With honor higher than the Cherubim and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, who virginally gave birth to God the Word, the true Mother of God, we glorify You.

  The name of the prayer is given to the Athonite icon of the Mother of God “Merciful”, in front of which a miraculous event took place (celebration on June 24).

  ^ Song of the Virgin Mary

  My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

  The most honorable cherub and the most glorious without comparison seraphim, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify Thee.

  As I have looked upon the humility of My servants, behold, from now on all my generations will bless Me.

  For the Mighty One has done unto Me greatness, and holy is His name, and His mercy from generation to generation to those who fear Him.

  Create power with Your arm, squander their hearts with proud thoughts.

  Dethrone the mighty from the throne, and exalt the humble; Fill those who hunger with good things, and those who are rich let go of their wealth.

  Israel will receive His servant, remember his mercies, like a word to our fathers, Abraham and his seed, even unto the ages.

  My soul magnifies the Lord, / and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. With the highest honor of the Cherubim / and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, / who virginally gave birth to God the Word, / the true Mother of God, we magnify You. That He looked upon the humility of His Servant; / for from now on all generations will call Me blessed. That the Mighty One has done great things for Me, / and holy is His name, / and His mercy throughout all generations of generations is upon those who fear Him. He has done mighty things with His hand, / He has scattered the arrogant in the thoughts of their hearts. He deposed the rulers from their thrones / and exalted the humble, filled the hungry with good things / and sent away the rich with nothing. He supported His servant Israel, / remembering mercy, / as He said to our fathers, / to Abraham and his seed forever.

  The text of the chant is based on the words spoken by the Blessed Virgin at the meeting with Her relative, the righteous Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist (Luke 1:46-55), with the addition of the refrain “More honorable than the cherubs...” to each verse, from which it received its second, most common name - “More honorable.” The Song of the Theotokos is part of the Matins service and precedes the 9th song of the canon.

  Grant, Lord, that this evening we may remain without sin. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, and praised and glorified is thy name forever, amen. May Thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we trust in Thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me by thy justification. Blessed art thou, O Lord, enlighten me with thy justification. Blessed are You, Holy One, enlighten me with Your justifications. Lord, Your mercy endures forever: do not despise the works of Your Hand. Praise is due to You, singing is due to You, glory is due to You, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

  Hymn to the Most Holy Theotokos

  Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O Blessed Mary, the Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

  I will bless the Lord at all times,/I will make His praise come into my mouth. My soul will glory in the Lord,/ let the meek hear and rejoice. Magnify the Lord with me, / and let us exalt His name together. Seek the Lord and hear me, / and deliver me from all my sorrows. Come to Him and be enlightened,/ and your faces will not be ashamed. This beggar cried out, and the Lord heard and,/ and saved him from all his sorrows. The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear Him,/ and will deliver them. Taste and see that the Lord is good;/

  Blessed is the man who trusts in Nan. Fear the Lord, all His holy ones, for there is no hardship for those who fear Him. We are poor and hungry with riches; but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good. Come, children, listen to me, / I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is a man, even if he loves his life, / loves the days and sees good things? Keep your tongue from evil, / and keep your lips from speaking flattery. Turn away from evil, and do good, / seek peace, and marry, and. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are upon their prayer. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, / to consume their memory from the earth. The righteous cried out, and the Lord heard them, and delivered them from all their sorrows. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and will save the humble in spirit. Many are the sorrows of the righteous, / and the Lord will deliver me from all of them. The Lord protects all their bones, / not one of them will be broken. The death of sinners is cruel, and those who hate the righteous will sin. The Lord will deliver the souls of His servant, and all who trust in Him will not sin.

  P. AT THE DIVINE LITURGY

  I believe in One God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Spirit of Light and the Virgin Mary, and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the one who is coming with glory will judge the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who is worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son, who spoke the prophets. Into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

  Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one

  The memory of the righteous is with praise, / but the testimony of the Lord, the Forerunner, is sufficient for you: / for you have shown that you are truly more honorable than the prophets, / how in the streams of baptism you were worthy of the Preached One. Therefore, having suffered for the truth, rejoice,/ you preached the good news to those in hell, God revealed in the flesh,/ who takes away the sin of the world,/ and gives us great mercy.

  We magnify You, / John the Baptist of the Savior, / and honor all Your honorable heads by the beheading.

  V. CHANTS FROM THE SERVICES OF GREAT LENT

  On the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee

  Open the doors of repentance, O Life-Giver, for my spirit will rise to Thy holy temple, the temple of my body is completely desecrated; but as you are generous, cleanse me with Your gracious mercy.

  Instruct me in the path of salvation, O Mother of God, for my soul has been frozen with cold sins and my whole life has been spent in laziness; but through Your prayers deliver me from all uncleanness.

  On Holy and Great Monday, at Matins

  Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight, / and blessed is the servant, who will be found when she is vigilant, / but unworthy again, who will be found when she is despondent. / Take care, my soul, / not to be burdened with sleep, / so that you will not be put to death, / and the Kingdom will be shut up outside, / but arise, calling:/Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O God,/Have mercy on us through the Mother of God.

  At the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts

  May my prayer be corrected, / like incense before You: / the lifting of my hand, / the evening sacrifice.

  Lord, I have called to You, hear me;/ Hear the voice of my prayer,/ Let me always cry to You.

  Complete collection and description: the prayer of the Mother of God, the most honest cherub, for the spiritual life of a believer.

  Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.

  Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

  Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

  I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

  Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O Blessed Mary, the Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

  It is worthy to eat as you truly bless Thee, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify You, who gave birth to God the Word, the real Mother of God.

  Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship Your Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Your holy Resurrection: for You are our God, do we know no other to You, we call Your name. Come, all you faithful, let us worship the Holy Resurrection of Christ: behold, through the Cross joy has come to the whole world. Always blessing the Lord, we sing His Resurrection: having endured the crucifixion, destroy death by death.

  My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

  Chorus: Most honorable Cherub and most glorious without comparison Seraphim, without corruption

  As you look upon the humility of Your servant, behold, from now on all your kindred will please Me.

  For the Mighty One has done greatness to Me, throughout all generations of generations those who fear Him.

  Create power with Your arm, scatter the proud thoughts of their hearts.

  Depose the mighty from their thrones, and let those who are rich let go of their wealth.

  Israel will receive His servant, Abraham and his seed, even to the age of eternity.

  Now release Thy servant, O Master, according to Thy word in peace; For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light for the revelation of tongues, and the glory of Your people Israel.

  Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. To You alone have I sinned and done evil before You; for you may be justified in all of Your words, and you will always triumph over Your judgment. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

  Worthy to eat. Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary

  Truly it is right to please You, Mother of God, eternally blessed and immaculate, and Mother of our God. You are superior in honor to the cherubim and in your glory incomparably higher than the seraphim. You virginally gave birth to God the Word, and as the true Mother of God we magnify You.

  In the 10th century, a mysterious guest, a monk who called himself Gabriel, came to one Athonite novice in the absence of the elder. When during the service the time came to honor the Mother of God, and the novice began to sing “Most Honorable Cherub. “, then the guest said: “But this is not how we call the Mother of God,” and said the words of the prayer “It is worthy to eat.” ”, and then “The most honest Cherub. " The novice asked the guest to write down the prayer, but there was no paper or ink in the cell, and then Gabriel inscribed the prayer with his finger on a stone, which temporarily became soft like wax. Then the guest suddenly disappeared.

  When the elder returned, the novice told him about the night visit and showed him the prayer written on the stone. The elder realized that the guest who had appeared was the Archangel Gabriel. The stone with the inscriptions was transferred to Constantinople, and since then the prayer “It is worthy to eat. "became part of Orthodox worship.

  In the cell there was an icon, which has since received the name “It is Worthy to Eat” in honor of the new chant, and subsequently became famous for miracles. However, right before that icon

  their own special prayers are read.

  Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary

  ^ Virgin Mary, rejoice

  Virgin Mary, Rejoice, full of grace Mary, the Lord is with You, Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

  Mother of God Virgin Mary, filled with the grace of God, rejoice! The Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit born of You, because You gave birth to the Savior of our souls.

  Words Rejoice, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women taken from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel when he announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary the birth from Her according to the flesh of the Son of God (Luke 1:28).

  Words Blessed are You among women mean that the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the Mother of God, is glorified more than all other women (Luke 1:42; Ps. 44:18).

  Blagodatnaya- full of grace, mercy from God.

  Words blessed is the fruit of your womb taken from the greeting of righteous Elizabeth, when the Holy Virgin Mary, after the Annunciation, wished to visit her (Luke 1:42). The fruit of her womb– Son of God Jesus Christ.

  The prayer is based on the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary at the moment of the Annunciation (Luke 1:28-31; Matt. 1:18-25). The famous “Ave, Maria” is the same prayer in Latin.

  ^ Worthy to eat

  It is worthy to eat as truly the blessedness of Thee, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify Thee, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison, the Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption.

  It is truly worthy to praise You, Mother of God, eternally blessed and immaculate and Mother of our God. With honor higher than the Cherubim and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, who virginally gave birth to God the Word, the true Mother of God, we glorify You.

  Read about the history of the prayer in the priest’s photo album.

  The name of the prayer is given to the Athonite icon of the Mother of God “Merciful”, in front of which a miraculous event took place (celebration on June 24).

  ^ To my Queen, Offering

  My Most Blessed Queen, My Hope, Mother of God, Friend of the Orphan and Strange to the Representative, the Sorrowful to Joy, the Offended to the Patroness!

  See my misfortune, see my sorrow; Help me, for I am weak; feed me, for I am strange! Resolve my grievance, as if I were wrong: for I have no other help than You, no other Representative, no good Comforter, except You, O Mother of God! May you protect me and protect me forever and ever. Amen.

  My Most Blessed Queen, My Hope, Mother of God, Shelter of orphans and wanderers, Protector, Joy of the grieving, Patroness of the offended! You see my misfortune, you see my sorrow; help me as a weak person, guide me as a stranger. You know my offense: resolve it according to Your will. For I have no other help than You, no other Protector, no good Comforter - only You, O Mother of God: may you preserve me and protect me forever and ever. Amen.

  ^ Kontakion to the Most Holy Theotokos

  There are no imams of other help, / not imams of other hope, / except for You, Lady. / Help us, / We trust in You, and we boast in You. / For we are your servants, let us not be ashamed.

  We have no other help, / we have no other hope, / except You, Lady. / Help us: / we hope in You / and we boast in You, / for we are Your servants; / let us not be ashamed!

  ^ Kontakion to the Selected Voivode

  To the chosen Voivode, victorious, for having got rid of the evil ones, let us write thanksgiving to Thy servants to the Mother of God: but as having an invincible power, free us from all troubles, let us call Thee: Rejoice Bride of Neneve ́stnaya.

  Having been delivered from troubles, we, Your unworthy servants, Mother of God, sing a victorious and grateful song to You, the Supreme Military Leader. You, who have invincible power, free us from all troubles, so that we cry to You: Rejoice, Bride, who has not entered into marriage!

  This kontakion to the Mother of God was compiled in honor of the deliverance of Constantinople in 626 from the invasion of barbarians, when Patriarch Sergius I of Constantinople walked around the city walls with an icon of the Mother of God and the danger was averted.

  ^ Song of the Virgin Mary

  My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

  The most honorable cherub and the most glorious without comparison seraphim, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify Thee.

  As I have looked upon the humility of My servants, behold, from now on all my generations will bless Me.

  For the Mighty One has done unto Me greatness, and holy is His name, and His mercy from generation to generation to those who fear Him.

  Create power with Your arm, squander their hearts with proud thoughts.

  Dethrone the mighty from the throne, and exalt the humble; Fill those who hunger with good things, and those who are rich let go of their wealth.

  Israel will receive His servant, remember his mercies, like a word to our fathers, Abraham and his seed, even unto the ages.

  My soul magnifies the Lord, / and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. With the highest honor of the Cherubim / and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, / who virginally gave birth to God the Word, / the true Mother of God, we magnify You. That He looked upon the humility of His Servant; / for from now on all generations will call Me blessed. That the Mighty One has done great things for Me, / and holy is His name, / and His mercy throughout all generations of generations is upon those who fear Him. He has done mighty things with His hand, / He has scattered the arrogant in the thoughts of their hearts. He deposed the rulers from their thrones / and exalted the humble, filled the hungry with good things / and sent away the rich with nothing. He supported His servant Israel, / remembering mercy, / as He said to our fathers, / to Abraham and his seed forever.

  The text of the chant is based on the words spoken by the Blessed Virgin at the meeting with Her relative, the righteous Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist (Luke 1:46-55), with the addition of the refrain “More honorable than the cherubs...” to each verse, from which it received its second, most common name - “More honorable.” The Song of the Theotokos is part of the Matins service and precedes the 9th song of the canon.

  ^ Oh, All-Singing Mother

  (kontakion 13 Akathist to the Mother of God)

  Oh, All-Singing Mother, who gave birth to all the saints, the Most Holy Word! Having accepted this present offering, deliver everyone from all misfortune, and from future torment, those who cry out for You: Alleluia.

  Translation:“O all-sung (i.e., sung by all) Mother, who gave birth to the Word, the holiest of all saints! Having accepted the present offering (i.e., this prayer - akathist singing), deliver from all misfortune and remove from future torment everyone who exclaims to You: Alleluia.

  Prayer of the Mother of God most honorable cherub

  It is worthy to eat as you truly bless Thee, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, the real Mother of God.

  Worthy to eat- should, must. For truly- truly, in fairness ( like- How). Blažiti- praise. Ever-blessed- always blessed ( constantly- Always). Immaculate- the most immaculate, completely sinless. Most honorable Cherub- worthy of greater honor than the Cherubim. The most glorious without comparison, Seraphim- deserving incomparably greater glorification than the Seraphim. Without decay– without compromising cleanliness. Existing– valid.

  Cherubim(in Hebrew this word means “outpouring of wisdom”) and Seraphim(“flaming”) – the highest Angels, closest to God.

  + Second half of the prayer - "The most honorable Cherub..."(it is still independently used in worship) - composed in the 8th century by Saint Cosmas, Bishop of Maium... According to legend, this song was composed by him on Good Friday, a particularly mournful day for the Mother of God. After this, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to the monk and with a joyful face said: “Your songs are pleasant to Me, but this one is more pleasant than all the others; I am pleased with those who sing spiritual songs, but I am never so close to them as when they sing this new song of yours.” Words Most honorable Cherub go back to the laudatory words of the Mother of God of Ephraim the Syrian: “More honorable than the Cherubim, incomparable before all the heavenly armies...”

  In the 10th century, this song chosen by the Mother of God received an even more miraculous beginning.

  In one of the monasteries of Holy Mount Athos, a novice prayed in his cell. There was a knock on the door, an unfamiliar, beautiful-looking monk entered and joined in the chant. When the Athonite novice was about to begin the glorification of the Mother of God “Most Honorable Cherubs...”, the guest stopped him and sang another, unknown beginning: “It is worthy to eat as truly the blessedness of You, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and Mother of our God,” and already to these hitherto unknown, he added the ending to the words: “The most honorable Cherub.”

  The Athonite monk was touched by the wondrous words and the sounds of the angelic voice, and began to ask the stranger monk to write him the beginning of the cherished song. But in the cell there was neither parchment (on which they wrote before the invention of paper) nor ink. Then the guest asked to bring a stone slab and with the end of his finger he wrote the words he sang on the slab. Handing the slab to the astonished monk, he said: “From now on, always sing like this, both you and all Orthodox Christians,” and became invisible. Then the monk realized that an Angel of God had visited him.

  Since then, this amazing prayer has remained in the Church, in which the angelic song was added to the inspired human creation: since 980, according to the conciliar definition of the Church, the chant began to be sung in a new, complete edition.

  Note. From Easter to Ascension, instead of this prayer, the chorus and irmos of the 9th song of the Easter canon are read:

  The angel cried out with grace: Pure Virgin, rejoice! And again the river: Rejoice! Your Son is risen three days from the grave, and raised up the dead; people, have fun!

  Shine, shine, new Jerusalem, for the glory of the Lord is upon you. Rejoice now and be glad, O Zion; You, Pure One, show off, O Mother of God, about the rising of Your Nativity.

  This remark also applies to future bedtime prayers.

  Glory, and now: Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)

  Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all saints, have mercy on us, Amen.

  The Most Honest Cherub – “Song of the Virgin Mary” – video

  Good afternoon, our dear visitors!

  We all know the prayer that the Lord Himself left for us! It is called “The Lord’s Prayer” and begins with the words “Our Father who art in Heaven...”.

  There is also a beautiful prayer left to us by the Mother of God Herself, which is called “Song of the Mother of God,” and it begins with the words “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior...”.

  This prayer is beloved by all Christian people! It is sung in the church during the evening service (All-Night Vigil), and according to some saints, the Most Holy Theotokos, while singing this prayer, walks around the church and blesses those who pray with zeal.

  Below we have posted a video clip of this wondrous prayer being sung by the choir of the Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery, and under the video are the words of the prayer.

  My soul magnifies the Lord,

  and my spirit rejoiced in God my Savior,

  Most honorable Cherub and most glorious

  without comparison Seraphim, without decay

  Who gave birth to God the Word, the real Mother of God, we magnify You.

  As if he looked upon the humility of His servant,

  behold, from now on all will bless Me,

  Most honorable Cherub and most glorious

  without comparison Seraphim, without decay

  Who gave birth to God the Word, the real Mother of God, we magnify You.

  For the Mighty One, create greatness for Me,

  and holy is His name, and His mercy

  from generation to generation to those who fear Him.

  Most honorable Cherub and most glorious

  and lift up the humble; Fill the hungry with blessings

  and those who are rich, let them go.

  Good health to everyone! Tell me, is it possible to sing this chant before Communion at the Divine Liturgy? Or only strictly at the All-Night Vigil?

  Before communion, during the so-called “pre-communion pause,” various hymns are sung dedicated to the Lord, the Mother of God and St. saints of Christ. Yes, of course, this chant can also be sung before communion.

  God bless you!

  Thank you very much! I will teach and sing.

  Now I just found out that you can ask a question to the Priest. I did not dare to ask my parish priest about this. About 8 years ago, when I was just beginning to seriously visit the temple, during the evening service, the altar icon of the Lord with the golden rays emanating from it was momentarily transformed: all the rays merged into one golden radiance, and in the middle was the Savior. I shuddered and began to peer, but it was only a moment. I often think about this during services and think, how should I approach this?

  I will be grateful if you answer.

  I advise you not to pay attention to this kind of vision. The Holy Fathers teach not to attach importance to such visions, since they are not useful to us, and are often from the evil one, in order to make us proud.

  Peace and God's blessing to you!

  My favorite prayer, and the Diveyevo sisters sing it wonderfully. For a long time I was going to find the text on the Internet, and finally I opened it. Thank you.

  Listen, for the glory of God!

  Thank you for the song of the Mother of God! I love her very much! I'm glad I discovered your site!)))

  Irina, please, for the glory of God!
