Any, even seemingly simple, surgical intervention is a serious and responsible step. The outcome of the operation is experienced not only by the operated person, but also by his relatives, because his life is in the hands of doctors. And only the professionalism of doctors can guarantee a positive outcome. However, an important point is the moral attitude and faith of the patient.

Why do you need to shower before surgery?

Thoughts about the upcoming operation disturb the patient. Appetite disappears, mood deteriorates and insomnia torments.

In the legends and prayers, it was said "God rules by the hand of the doctor." People still believe in it unshakably to this day. But despite this, a person is so arranged that having even the most strong faith, somewhere in the depths of his soul admits that something can go wrong. To cheer up the sick and strengthen his faith, relatives turn to the Lord, asking for his help and protection.

Doctors are ordinary people and can make mistakes too. Therefore, relatives and the patient himself pray that the Lord, through the hands of a doctor, will grant healing. For as Christ said: “not even a hair will fall from your head without my will.”

The power of prayer before surgery

There are many stories in Orthodoxy when, through the prayers of loved ones, even the most complex operations ended successfully, and the patient quickly recovered.

Prayer before surgery

Master of the Almighty, Holy King, punish and not kill, affirm those who fall, and raise the overthrown, bodily people, correct sorrows, we pray to You, our God, your servant (name) is weak, visit with Your mercy, forgive him (her) any sin voluntary and involuntary. To her, Lord, send down Your healing power from Heaven to control the mind and hand of Your servant’s healer (doctor’s name) and perform the necessary surgery safely, as if the bodily ailment of Your free Servant (name) will be completely healed, and I will drive away any hostile invasion far away from him. Raise him up from the sickbed and grant him a healthy soul and body to Thy pleasing Church. Thou art the merciful God, and to Thee we send glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.

A case was registered when a patient with a fracture of the collarbone was contraindicated in surgical intervention, since he could not survive it. In a dream, a saint appeared to him, gave him a solution to drink from a spoon and said, "Everything will be fine." The old man then agreed to the operation and endured it perfectly. A few days later he saw an icon, on which he identified the saint who came to him. It was the Healer Panteleimon.

Turning to the saints, we ask them to pray to the Lord so that the operation will be successful and the patient will be healed.

What saints to pray before the operation?

Who and how to pray for the operation to be successful? It all depends on the nature of the surgical intervention and the disease of the person.

Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon

Saint Panteleimon was a healer who was given the gift of healing during his lifetime. Despite the fact that during his earthly life Christians were persecuted by pagans, the saint, before treating the sick, always prayed to the Lord.

Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer

Oh, the great saint of Christ, the passion-bearer and doctor, the many-merciful Panteleimon! Have mercy on me, a sinful servant of God (name), hear my groaning and cry, have mercy on the Heavenly Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, may He grant me healing from a cruel oppressive illness. Accept the unworthy prayer of the sinner more than all people. Visit me with a blessed visit. Do not disdain my sinful sores, anoint them with the oil of your mercy and heal me; Yes, healthy soul and body, the rest of my days, with the help of the grace of God, I can spend in repentance and pleasing God, and I will be able to perceive the good end of my life. Hey, God's servant! Pray for Christ God, may he grant me, through your intercession, the health of the body and the salvation of my soul. Amen.

Archbishop Luke of Crimea

Almost every surgeon in the office can see the image of St. Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky. The saint was glorified in 1996.

During his earthly life, he was a famous surgeon who wrote many works on surgery, which are used in practice to this day. Becoming a bishop, he did not leave medical practice. The Lord glorified the Saint for his unshakable faith.

From the relics of St. Luke, many patients received healing. Often, through the prayers of the saint, people who were preparing for the operation were healed, and the need for the operation disappeared.

Prayer to Luka Krymsky

O all-blessed confessor, our holy hierarch Luko, the great saint of Christ!

With tenderness, bending the knee of our hearts and falling to the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like a child of the father, we pray with all your heart: hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the All-Merciful and Humane God.

We believe more, because you love us with the same love, with which you loved all your neighbors, being on earth.

Ask Christ our God, let him confirm in His holy Orthodox Church the spirit of right faith and piety; let her shepherd give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them: observe the right of the believer, strengthen the weak and weak in faith, instruct the ignorant, and rebuke the contrary.

Give us all a gift that is beneficial to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation: our cities are affirmed, the land is fruitful, deliverance from gladness and destruction, consolation for those who are in pain, healing for those who have strayed on the path of truth, a blessing to a parent, a child to the Lord's strasse upbringing and teaching, help and intercession to the orphans and the poor.

Grant us all your archpastoral and holy blessing, so that by your overshadowing we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and discord, heresies and schisms.

Grant us God-pleasing to pass the field of temporal life, guide us on the path leading to the villages of the righteous, deliver us from air ordeals and pray for us to the almighty God, but in eternal life with you we unceasingly glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, He deserves all glory, honor and power forever and ever. Amen.

They pray to the saint especially before operations from the field of purulent surgery.

Holy Great Martyr Barbara

The Orthodox Church recorded cases when Saint Barbara helped in critical situations during surgery.

The Holy Great Martyr is depicted on icons, holding a Chalice for Communion in her hand. A person is most afraid of sudden death, especially if he did not repent and did not partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.

Saint Barbara is asked to prevent sudden death during anesthesia.

If a person is afraid to suddenly die from general anesthesia, it is also recommended to pray to saints who have had similar conditions in their lives:

1. To the seven youths of Ephesus, who, by the will of the Lord, fell asleep in a cave and woke up only after 150 years.
2. Holy righteous Lazarus, whom the Lord resurrected after 4 days.
3. Jesus Christ, who resurrected three days later.

Prayer to the Great Martyr Barbara

Glorious and all-praise Holy Great Martyr Varvaro! Gathering today in your Divine temple people, worshiping your relics and kissing love, your martyr's suffering, and in them the Passion-bearer of Christ Himself, who gave you not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him, appeasement praises, we pray thee, the well-known desire of our intercessor: pray with us and for us, praying from His mercy to God, may he graciously hear us asking for His grace, and will not put aside from us all the necessary petitions for salvation and life, and grant a Christian death to our stomach - painless, shameless, I will participate in peace, I will partake of the Divine Mysteries, and to everyone, in every place, in any sorrow and situation requiring His philanthropy and help, His great mercy will give, but by the grace of God and your warm intercession, always stay healthy in soul and body, we glorify God in His saints Israel, who does not remove His help from us always, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to Guardian Angels

The Guardian Angel is next to every person from the moment of baptism. He protects him from everything bad and. if necessary, quickly comes to the rescue.

Once, an 80-year-old woman was brought to the regional hospital in Krasnodar, who urgently needed surgical intervention. The only salvation was a strip operation, which she could not endure due to a sick heart and age. Relatives began to pray, in the hope of God's mercy. Before the operation, the Guardian Angel appeared to her, and she realized that he would help her and everything would go well. When the grandmother was discharged home, the doctors were surprised at how easily she recovered from anesthesia and how quickly she recovered.

Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Holy angel of Christ, falling down to you, I pray, my holy guardian, given to me to keep my sinful soul and body from holy baptism, but with my laziness and my evil habit I angered your most pure lordship and drove you away from me with all the student’s deeds: lies, slander , envy, condemnation, contempt, disobedience, fraternal hatred, and malice, love of money, adultery, rage, avarice, gluttony without satiety and drunkenness, verbosity, evil thoughts and crafty, proud custom and fornication rage, having self-desire for all carnal lust. Oh, my evil will, even the beasts of speechlessness do not create it! But how can you look at me, or come to me, like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, angel of Christ, look at me, entwined with evil in vile deeds? Yes, how can I ask forgiveness for my bitter and evil and crafty deed, I fall into it all day and night and at every hour? But I pray that, falling down, my holy guardian, have mercy on me, your sinful and unworthy servant (name), be my helper and intercessor for the evil of my opponent, with your holy prayers, and make the Kingdom of God a partaker of me with all the saints, always, and now and forever and ever. Amen.

Christ said: "Where two or three are gathered in My Name, there I am in their midst." This means that the relatives and friends of the sick person should unite in prayer for him. In this case, the Lord will hear her faster and come to the rescue.

Modern medicine has come a long way, but nothing guarantees an absolute recovery. Complications after surgery can lead to death or serious health consequences. Christians turn to the Lord for support and protection. There is a prayer after the operation for recovery, as well as texts that prepare and save before and during the medical procedure.

Prayer to Saint Luke before the operation

There is a God-pleaser who received a medical education during his lifetime. It is Luka Krymsky who is prayed before they lie down on the operating table. To address him, one should focus on the icon depicting this saint. Even a miniature copy will do. This prayer is also read after the operation, so that the body recovers faster after the illness.

1. Patients with bed rest are allowed to read the text while lying down. It is also not necessary to say the words out loud.
2. Sincere faith is paramount. Open your heart and soul to Saint Luke of Crimea and tell us about your illness.
3. Imagine how the saint directs the hands of the doctors who will perform the operation.
4. Rely on the will of the Lord and cast aside all worries.
5. Ask relatives to go to the temple and light a candle for health or order a prayer service.

How to pray for a speedy recovery after surgery

After the procedure, the patient is placed in the ward. This is a great time to repeat the petition to St. Luke. With all gratitude and humility, read the text. Ask not only for yourself: pray for relatives and doctors who performed the operation.

• Sacred words should be spoken fervently, knowing that God will not leave you in difficult times.
• Make the sign of the cross three times before praying.
• Place the icon of St. Luke in the ward, and upon returning home, find a place for it in the house.
• After recovery, go to the temple and thank God's saint for help, put a candle in front of his icon.

Prayer to St. Luke of Crimea will help you spiritually transform and prepare for better health. The stitches will heal sooner, and the patient will be able to return to normal life, forgetting about the disease. In the future, you should regularly visit the temple and observe all Orthodox holidays so that the amulet of the saint always keeps you from repeating such situations. Try to live righteously and regularly repent so that God's grace keeps you from adversity and a new hit on the operating table.

When deciding on an operation, anyone will worry about the result and worry about the professionalism of the surgeon. A suitable prayer can have a beneficial effect on the doctor, a positive outcome and a successful process of any intervention. About what prayers should be read, to whom, how and when, more in this article.

The power of prayer before surgery

Prayer before surgery is not just a guarantee of a successful outcome.

In addition to guaranteeing a safe outcome, it helps in the following:

1. Calms and gives hope.
2. Provides the confidence and skill of the surgeon.
3. Avoids unexpected situations and unnecessary reactions.
4. Does not allow a large load on the body.
5. Eliminates unwanted effects.

Such prayers are usually read by the whole family and relatives. This is done in order to strengthen the request and increase the chances of its fulfillment.

The patient himself for a successful outcome must go through three stages:

1. Prayer the day before surgery.
2. A petition before the process itself.
3. Thanks after.

The main prayer is considered to be read before surgery. And you need to read it within a week.

Who to pray before and after the operation, how to do it right?

When deciding to whom and what prayer service needs to be offered, you should not worry about the correctness of the choice. Remember that you are asking the Saint to convey your prayer to the Lord and pray with you.

Therefore, you can appeal to several forces at once in turn:

• to the Mother of God;
• Nicholas the Wonderworker;
• Matrona of Moscow;
• Luke Krymsky.

Prayer before surgery should not be based on fear, but on faith in the Lord and hope for the best. Prayer filled with fear will not have the desired effect. You should also pray for the health of the doctor who will operate on you.

The chosen prayer service is repeated daily for a week. If possible, it is preferable to visit the church several times, confess to the priest and take communion. You should take a small cross or a copy of the icon with you to the operating room and keep it with you even at the end of the procedure.

God for a successful outcome

To beg the Lord for a successful outcome of the operation, you should contact him with two prayers:

• the first is read in the days before surgery;
• the second directly at the beginning of the process.

The most popular prayer that can be read before the procedure is “Our Father”. This prayer is used under any circumstances, calms and pacifies, and also helps to concentrate God's power and will on what is happening. It is repeated three times a day: morning, afternoon, evening.

Once a day, you can say another prayer:

“Our Lord Almighty, holy is Your name, Your Kingdom is eternal! Submissive (submissive) to Your will, the Servant of God (Servant of God) (your name) prays for a blessing and a miracle in order to save from an unkind fate and grant a good outcome in the coming event. Do not leave me, guide the hand of the doctor (name of the surgeon) with your hand. Fulfill your will by his deeds. Amen".

After each reading, you need to cross yourself three times and bow three times. You can read both prayers daily, but it is undesirable, the Lord will hear and heed the words anyway. Immediately before the operation itself, after the introduction of anesthesia, the following should be repeated: « Bless and save!".

Prayer to Luka Krymsky before the operation is many times stronger if close relatives repeat it. It is not necessary to memorize the text, the main thing is to invest in it the hope of healing and a successful outcome. You can download the full version of the prayer.

Holy Mother of God about a successful operation

To the Blessed Virgin Mary, a prayer is read separately on the icon before the operation, so that it goes well. You should also light an odd number of candles, kneel and say:

« Holy Mother of God, Defender of the family and Intercessor! Do not give offense to the Servant of God (Servant of God) (your name or the name of the patient) and do good to healing! Take away the pain, heal the wounds, like a mother, envelop with blessings, love and protection. Amen".

Cross yourself, touch the bottom of the icon with your lips, repeat the act three times. If a prayer service is read by a relative, then before him it is recommended to appeal to the Mother of God with the prayer “Our Lady of the Virgin, rejoice ...”. You can pronounce the sacred text before and during the operation in order to focus attention heavenly powers on what is happening.

Nicholas the Wonderworker

Do not forget about the great Saints, who during their lifetime worked miracles, healed people and granted deliverance from troubles and torments. One of the most popular Saints is Nicholas the Wonderworker. You can turn to him with a prayer before the operation every evening, kneeling by the bed and repeating:

“Oh, all-holy saint Nicholas, intercessor of the mourners, help the Servant of God (Servant of God) (name) in this life, implore the Lord God, grant relief and tranquility, do a good deed and save from an unkind outcome. May the Almighty desire to deliver me from torment. I offer this prayer to the glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and I trust in You, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen».

They turn to the Wonderworker, including with a prayer before the operation of a loved one:

“Wonderworker Nikolai, intercessor of the suffering and healer of all kinds of diseases, we pray you for a close and dear person. Save from trouble and save the Servant of God (Servant of God) (name) from pain, intercede for him (her) before God and grant your blessing. By your will, so be it! Amen».

Matrona of Moscow

It is better to call with a request to Matrona directly on the day of the operation itself in the morning, after reading other prayers. It is necessary to cross and read the words:

“Blessed Matrona, through sorrows free of charge, hear my call and grant patronage! I pray for parting words for my doctor (name of the surgeon), for a firm hand and sound already! I ask for Your good deeds, and pray to the Lord to help me and heal me. Amen. Amen. Amen".

This prayer is considered to accompany those that were read all week. It helps to focus the divine energy and direct it to the right path.

Recovery after surgery with prayer

After the operation and reading many different prayers, an equally important thing remains - reading thanksgiving prayer. It is imperative to thank heaven for help in order to consolidate the effect obtained, avoid possible relapses and recover faster. Thanksgiving is read exclusively by the patient himself in solitude and by candlelight:

“Thank you, Lord God, Father Almighty! Thank you for your help (cross yourself), for your goodness (repeat the sign of the cross), for your favor (repeat the action). Thank you for your finger, pointing to a true deed (overshadow yourself with a cross), for medical wisdom, miraculous healing and a happy and cloudless future life (cross yourself again). I will praise Thee and Thy Hierarchs now and forever. Amen".

You can also give thanks in your own words after the evening prayer rule. At the same time, it is important not to overdo it, but to thank briefly and to the point. Do not forget to regularly (once every three days) wash your face with holy water and attend church on Sundays for at least two months after the operation.

The most powerful prayer for the health of a sick person is a prayer uttered with deep faith, sincerity and sincerity. Such a prayer works even at a distance, often works real miracles, sometimes turning out to be stronger than the most expensive medications.

It is allowed to read a prayer for the health of the patient both within the walls of the temple and at home, in front of the icons of the saints. You can ask for health and healing from illness both for yourself and for your relatives and friends (parents, children, husband, wife, other relatives and friends). However, before turning to the saints with a request, it is necessary to make sure that the sick person was baptized in the church. Of course, nothing and no one forbids praying for the health of a person who has not been baptized, but in this case, the effectiveness can be significantly reduced.

Not only the most powerful prayer text, but also a church prayer service for health can help the patient to heal from his illness. It is pronounced by the clergy within the limits of liturgical health at the preliminary request of the customer. You can order a prayer service daily, or for a month, or for 40 days. In any case, it significantly increases the chances of a person defeated by the disease to recover.

Any prayer is a positive energy message that has great power and gives faith in a cure, hope for a brighter future. It allows you to convey to the patient a positive attitude, during which the state of his health begins to gradually improve, and his illness - to slowly recede.

Often the course of the disease worsens due to the lack of mental balance in the patient - one can say that a person is sick with a soul. Prayer for health, in this case, improves the state of mind of the sick person, returns to him the lost peace, helps to cope with tormenting fears and doubts.

With prayerful words for the health of the sick, believers most often turn to the Lord himself, to the Most Holy Theotokos, to the Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow and to Nicholas the Wonderworker.

The reason why people pray for the health of the Almighty and the Mother of God is understandable without explanation: they occupy the highest positions in the hierarchical ladder of the Higher powers. The fate of all life on Earth, including humanity, is concentrated in the hands of the Lord. Holy Mother of God who gave the Savior to this sinful world, has always been an intercessor for the weak, sheltered them with her reliable maternal wing.

Believers turn their requests to Matronushka and Nikolai Ugodnik because these saints in Orthodox Christianity are among the most beloved and revered. Even during their earthly life, the Blessed Matrona and the Wonderworker became famous for their gift of healing, they helped a considerable number of people to find the miracle of healing. Evidence of this are thousands of stories recorded in church books and on Orthodox websites (Matrona of Moscow), preserved in ancient manuscripts, in Christian legends and traditions (Nikolai Ugodnik).

The most powerful Orthodox prayers for the health of the patient

Higher powers about healing

The peculiarity of this prayer is that it does not appeal to any specific representative of the Higher powers, but to everyone: to the Lord himself, to the Mother of God, to all the saints and angels. That is why it is considered one of the most strong prayers. It is better to read it, if possible, within the walls of the temple. Instead of brackets, it is necessary to give the name of the patient who needs a cure for the disease. The text is as follows:

To the Lord

Prayers with a request for healing and health, addressed to the Lord God, should be read in front of the icon of the Savior, with candles lit. You can do this both in the church and at home, if there is no opportunity to visit the temple, for any reason, yet.

First prayer the text of which is presented below, you can read both for yourself and for your loved one or loved one. The phrases “God's servant” can be replaced with “God's servant”, instead of brackets, give the name of the sick person. Words:

Another Prayer to God, is also considered one of the most powerful. It asks for recovery. Strength can be increased many times by ordering a magpie for health in the temple. Text:

Holy Mother of God

The first prayer addressed Virgin Mary, gives good health. It is also allowed to read it both in the church and at home, and always in front of the holy image of the Mother of God. You can say prayer words for yourself, for people close and dear. Text:

Prayer Rule the second prayer for health, addressed to the Mother of God, similar to the prayer rule of the first. To pronounce this text required condition- that the patient be baptized. It is advisable to read this sacred text before the icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow”.

Matrona of Moscow

You can ask the blessed old woman Matrona for health and healing with the help of a universal prayer known to every deeply believing person. Its text has repeatedly flashed on our website, but we will quote it again:

Prayers to the Blessed Matrona must also be read in front of her face. Only now, not in every church you can find the icon of the Matronushka. But you can easily get out of the situation if you buy an icon with the image of the holy old woman in your home and start praying at home. The matron usually refuses to help anyone, because she made a promise to help people even after her death.

To increase efficiency, the Church recommends that before pronouncing it, surround yourself with good deeds: give alms, help all those in need, make donations to the temple. The Matrona of Moscow will definitely appreciate your mercy and generosity.

Nikolay Ugodnik

Nicholas the Wonderworker is prayed to by those who wish to get rid of ailments and gain health. Prayer is read before the image of the holy elder (both in the temple and at home). It is allowed to read the prayer text both for yourself and for your relatives and friends, substituting the name of the sick person instead of brackets. Text:

Important!

Turning to the representatives of the Higher powers about healing and health, one cannot refuse drug treatment and all necessary medical examinations. We must remember that the Higher powers sometimes help us through other people. Therefore, the recitation of prayers and medical treatment should go hand in hand, complement each other, and not oppose.

Or a fellow operation? How to support him in difficult times? Only prayerfully, how else.

And who to pray? And how? Is there a prayer during the operation for the patient? There is no specific one to indicate that it is read during the operation. But there are prayers that are read for the sick in any situation. We will talk about them in detail.

Story from life

What to do if a loved one is about to be operated on? Run to the temple and put candles to the icons?

It is possible to do so. But what's the point of buying the most expensive candles and "shove" them into all temple candlesticks, while not asking for help from God, the Mother of God and the saints?

You know, in the book "Unholy Saints" there was an excellent story on this topic. It was in the USSR. The country of the Soviets was famous for its intransigence towards the Christian religion. Somehow it happened that the authorities allowed to bring the icon of the Mother of God "Vladimirskaya" to one of the monasteries in Moscow. It was a miraculous icon.

Naturally, they could not do without accompanying high police officials. And when they were offered to venerate the image, no one dared, except for one general. He risked shoulder straps, because there were chiefs nearby who were much higher in rank than himself. But there was no other choice.

The general's older sister had an accident. Broke both legs. There was an operation. But the sister was very old, and the doctors honestly warned that the heart might not be able to withstand it. It was then that the general asked for help from the Mother of God.

A miracle happened. The operation was not required. At night, the sister somehow successfully turned around, and the bones stood up as they should have been. The doctors had to apply a cast, and that was it.

That's what faith means. Let out of despair, without any candles and prayers, but the general from the bottom of his heart turned to the Mother of God. Not afraid for his position, that is, "he laid down his life for his neighbors."

What is it for? To the fact that you can read a good dozen akathists, but soullessly. And you can, like this general, ask for help from the bottom of your heart without any prayers. This does not mean that you should not pray. Prayer for a patient during an operation is a necessary thing if it comes from the heart.

To whom to pray?

This is the main question. Who to contact? To the Lord God, first of all. To the Mother of God - Our Intercessor. To the saints: the healer Panteleimon, Luka Krymsky, Spiridon of Trimifuntsky, John of Kronstadt, Job of Pochaevsky. Let's talk in more detail about prayer during the operation for the patient (to each saint).

How to prepare?

Let's touch on this topic. It is impossible to keep silent about the preparation of the patient for surgery. Just do not be afraid of her, this preparation. Many people think: yeah, if we are talking about confession and communion, then death awaits me. It's a lie. If all those who go to the temple died after communion, then there would be no believers left.

How to prepare:

• First, be sure to wear a cross. And go to the operation on the neck with him, if the doctor does not forbid.
• Secondly, confess and take communion. And also ask the priest for blessings for the operation.
• Thirdly, read akathists to the Lord, the Mother of God and the guardian angel. These are in every prayer book. As a rule, they are located after the three canons and, accordingly, before following the communion.

Order a prayer service and a magpie for health in the temple. If you have the opportunity, read the akathist to Luka Krymsky.

Prayer to the Lord, compiled by Luke Krymsky

Relatives can read a prayer during the operation for the patient from Luka Krymsky. This saint was a surgeon during his lifetime. He had to do the most complicated operations. For example, on the skull. And at the same time, St. Luke was a very religious person.

Master of the Almighty, holy King, punish and do not kill, affirm those who fall and raise the overthrown, bodily people of sorrow, correct, we pray to You, our God, your servant (name), weak, visit with Your mercy. Forgive him every sin, voluntary and involuntary.

To her, Lord, send down Your healing power from heaven, hedgehog to control the mind and hand of Your servant, the healer (name), and perform the necessary surgery safely, as if the bodily ailment of Your servant (name) will be completely healed, and I will drive away any hostile invasion far away from him . Raise him up from the painful bed, and grant him a healthy soul and body pleasing and doing Your will.

Yours is, to have mercy and save us, our God, and we send glory to You, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Is there a prayer for the patient before the operation to Luka Krymsky? It is better to read an akathist to him, it will be much more useful for helping the sick.

Prayer to Job the Long-suffering

This saint had a lot of suffering during his lifetime. The Lord tested him. And Saint Job with dignity, without grumbling, endured everything. Who better than him to know what pain and suffering are?

Prayer for the patient during the operation to Job the Long-suffering:

Troparion, tone 2: The memory of Your righteous Job, Lord, is celebrating, so we pray to Thee: deliver us from the slanders and networks of the evil devil and save our souls, like a Lover of mankind.

Kontakion, tone 8: As true and righteous, Godly and blameless, sanctified, appear, all-glorious, God's true saint, enlighten the world in your patience, patient and kindest. All the same, God-wise, we sing your memory.

With prayers, create us as winners of various temptations and save our souls, like a Lover of mankind.

Prayer: Holy God and rest in the saints, with a three-holy voice in heaven from an angel sung, on earth from a man praised in His saints, giving by Your Holy Spirit grace to anyone according to the measure of the gift of Christ, and by that setting up Your Church of the Holy apostles, ov prophets, ov but the evangelizers, the shepherds and teachers, by their word of preaching, to You Himself acting all in all, many are made holy in every kind and generation, pleasing You with various benefactors, and to You, leaving us the image of their good deeds, having passed away in joy, prepare, in it yourself tempt the former, and help us who are being attacked. These saints of all and holy righteous Job remembering and praising their charitable life, I praise You Samago, who acted in them, I praise, and one of Your good deeds, believing, I diligently pray to Thee, Holy of Holies, let the sinner follow their teaching, life, love, faith, longsuffering, and their prayerful help , more than Thy omnipotent grace, heavenly glory with them, praising Thy Most Holy Name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

Prayer to Job of Pochaevsky

This saint is a long-liver. Lived for over a hundred years. At the age of ten he entered a monastery, and became a monk at eleven. At the age of just over thirty years, he was tonsured into the schema. He was the governor of the Pochaev monastery for almost fifty years. That is, the life of this saint was saturated with God.

What prayer for the patient during the operation should be read? This one:

Troparion, tone 4: Lay on the yoke of Christ from youth, Reverend Father Job, for many years you have been holy in the field of piety in the monastery of Ugornitskaya and on the island of Dubenstem, and having come to Mount Pochaevskaya, marked by the wholesome foot of the Most Holy Theotokos, in a cramped stone cave for the sake of divinity and prayer, you were repeatedly closed, and, strengthened by the grace of God, you courageously labored for the benefit of your monastery, and also against the enemies of Orthodoxy and Christian piety.

Amen.

Prayer to John of Kronstadt

One of the most revered saints in St. Petersburg. And not only there, in all of Russia. How to pray to him? In the following way:

Troparion, tone 1: Defender of the Orthodox Faith, saddened the Russian land, ruled as a shepherd and faithful image, preaching repentance and life in Christ, reverent servant of the Divine Mysteries and daring prayer for people, Righteous Father John, healer and wonderful miracle worker, praise to the city of Kronstadt and the Church is our adornment, pray to the All-good God to pacify the world and save our souls.

Kontakion, tone 3: Today the shepherd of Kronstadt stands before the Throne of God and fervently prays for the faithful of Christ the Shepherd, who gave the promise: "I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her."

Prayer: Oh, great saint of Christ, holy righteous Father John of Kronstadt, wonderful shepherd, quick helper and merciful intercessor! Giving praise to the Triune God, you prayerfully cried out: “Your Name is Love: do not reject me who am mistaken; Your name is Strength: strengthen me, exhausted and falling; Your name is Light: enlighten my soul, darkened by worldly passions; Your name is Peace: pacify my restless soul.

Living in Christ, our Father John! Lead us to the non-evening light of eternal life, may we be vouchsafed with you eternal bliss, praising and exalting God forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to Spyridon of Trimifuntsky

During the operation, it is necessary to pray for the patient. Feel free to ask Saint Spyridon for help. His relics recently visited Russia, the saint of God is famous for his miracles and worn shoes. Among Christians there is a belief that the saint walks the earth and helps people. Therefore, his shoes are worn out.

The first cathedral appeared to you as a champion and miracle worker, God-bearing Spiridon, our father. The same, you proclaimed dead in the tomb, and turned the snake into gold, and whenever you sing holy prayers, you had angels serving you, most sacred. Glory to the One who gave you a fortress, glory to the one who crowned you, glory to the one who acts by you and heals all.

Kontakion, tone 2: You were wounded by the love of Christ, most sacred, your mind resting on the dawn of the Spirit, with your detailed vision you found the deed, God-pleasing, the Divine altar, asking all the Divine radiance.

Prayer: Oh, the great and wonderful Saint Hierarch of Christ and the wonderworker Spiridon, Corfu praise, the whole universe is a most bright lamp, a warm prayer book for God and all those who come running to you and pray with faith, a quick intercessor! You gloriously explained the Orthodox faith at the Nicestem Council among the fathers, you showed the unity of the Holy Trinity with miraculous power and shamed the heretics to the end. Hear, Saint of Christ, us sinners praying to you, and by your strong intercession with the Lord, deliver us from every evil situation: from famine, flood, fire and deadly ulcers. For in your temporary life, you saved your people from all these disasters: you saved your country from the invasion of Agaryan and from gladness your country, you delivered the king from an incurable illness, and you brought many sinners to repentance, for the holiness of your life the angels are invisibly singing in the church and you had co-servants with you. Therefore, glorify you, your faithful servant, Lord Christ, as if all the secret human deeds were given to you to understand and unrighteously expose those who live. You zealously helped many, living in poverty and insufficiency, you nourished the wretched people abundantly during the famine, and you created many other signs by the power of the living Spirit of God in you. Do not leave us, Saint Hierarch of Christ, remember us, your children, at the Throne of the Almighty, and pray to the Lord, may He grant forgiveness for many of our sins, give us a comfortable and peaceful life, but the death of the belly is shameless and peaceful and eternal bliss in the future vouchsafe us, let us unceasingly send up glory and thanksgiving to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen

Prayer to the healer Panteleimon

Finally, we got to the prayers to Panteleimon for the patient during the operation. This saint was a healer during his lifetime. He accepted a martyr's death, but posthumously did not stop helping people. You just need to pray to get this help.

Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon, God's merciful imitator! Look with mercy and hear us sinners, praying fervently before your holy icon. Ask us of the Lord God, Him with the Angels stand in heaven, the remission of our sins and transgressions: heal the diseases of the soul and body of the servants of God, now commemorated, standing here and all Orthodox Christians, flowing to your intercession: Behold, we, according to our sin we are so obsessed with many ailments and not imams of help and consolation: we resort to you, as if we were given grace to pray for us and heal every ailment and every disease; grant to all of us with your holy prayers health and well-being of soul and body, the advancement of faith and piety, and all that is needed for temporary life and salvation, as if, having been honored by you with great and rich mercies, let us glorify you and the Giver of all blessings, wondrous in the saints, God ours, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O great saint of Christ, passion-bearer and merciful doctor, Panteleimon! Have mercy on me, a sinful slave, hear my groaning and cry, have mercy on the heavenly, supreme Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, may He grant me healing from the disease that oppresses me. Accept the unworthy prayer of the sinner more than all people, visit me with a blessed visit, do not disdain my sinful sores, anoint me with the oil of your mercy and heal me; yes, healthy in soul and body, the rest of my days, by the grace of God, I can spend in repentance and pleasing God, and I will be able to perceive the good end of my life. Hey, God's servant! Pray for Christ God, that by your intercession grant me health to the body and the salvation of my soul. Amen.

Prayers to the Lord

Master, Almighty, Holy King, punish and do not kill, affirm those who fall and raise up those who are cast down, bodily people, correct sorrows, we pray to You, our God, Your servant (name), the weak visit me Thy mercy, forgive him every sin, voluntary and involuntary. Hey, Lord, send down Your healing power from Heaven, touch the body, quench the fire, tame passion and all hidden weakness, be the doctor of Your servant (name), raise him up from the sick and from the bed of anger la and all-perfect, give it to Thy Church, pleasing and doing Your will. Yours is, even have mercy and save us, our God, and we send glory to You, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

And one more prayer to the Lord, read for the sick:

Master of the Almighty, Physician of our souls and bodies, humble and exalt, punish and still heal! Visit your weak servant (name) and heal him, resurrecting him from his bed and infirmity. Forbid the spirit of infirmity, leave from it every ulcer, every disease, and even if there is sin or iniquity in it, weaken, leave, forgive Your sake for the sake of humanity. Hey, Lord, have mercy on Thy creature in Christ Jesus, our Lord, with Him be blessed art thou, and with the Most Holy, and the Good, and Your Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen.

Let's not forget the Mother of God

But what about the Mother of God? That's really who our Helper and Intercessor is zealous! Is it necessary to read a prayer before the operation for a sick child? We fall to the Mother of God. She is the Mother, she will understand the asking parents.

Prayer before the icon "Healer":

Accept, O All-Blessed and Almighty Lady Lady Theotokos Virgin, these prayers, with tears now brought to You from us, Your unworthy servants, to Your wholesome image, the singing of those who send with tenderness, like You Yourself who exists here and listens to our supplication. By any request, do fulfillment, ease sorrows, give health to the weak, heal the weak and sick, drive away demons from the heavenly, deliver the offended from insults, cleanse lepers and small deeds you are merciful; moreover, Lady Lady Theotokos, and free from bonds and prisons and heal all kinds of passions: all things are possible through your intercession to your Son, Christ our God. Oh, Mother of All, Holy Mother of God! Do not stop praying for us, Thy unworthy servants, who glorify Thee and honor Thee, and worship with tenderness Thy most pure image, and who have irrevocable hope and unquestionable faith in Thee, Ever-Virgin Most Glorious and Immaculate, we not and ever and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer before the icon "The Tsaritsa". You can read the first or second. And you can - both at once:

Oh, All-good, venerable Mother of God Pantanassa, the All-Tsaritsa! Don’t be worthy, but enter under my roof, but like a merciful God, the compassionate Mother, the words of the word, may my soul be healed and my feeble body be strengthened. Imash an invincible power, and every word will not fail you, O All-Tsaritsa! You ask for me, You ask for me, let me glorify Your glorious name always, now and forever. Amen.

Prayer 2

Oh, Most Pure Mother of God, All-Tsaritsa! Hear our many-painful sighing before Thy miraculous icon, from the lot of Athos to Russia brought, look at Thy children, the unhealing ailments of those suffering, falling to Thy holy image with faith! Like a kryloma bird covers its chicks, so are You now, forever alive beings, cover us with Your many-healing omophorion. There, where hope disappears, be an undoubted Hope. There, even though fierce sorrows overcome, with patience and weakness appear. There, where the darkness of despair dwells in the souls, let the inexpressible light of the Divine shine! Comfort the faint-hearted, strengthen the weak, grant softening and enlightenment to hardened hearts. Heal your sick people, O All-Merciful Queen! Bless the mind and hands of those who heal us, may they serve as an instrument of the Almighty Physician Christ our Savior. As long as you live with us, we pray before your icon, O Lady! Stretch out Your hands, filled with healing and healing, joy of those who mourn, consolation in sorrow, but having received miraculous help soon, we glorify the Life-Giving and Inseparable Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever centuries. Amen.

Prayer to the holy doctors

How can one talk about praying for a patient during an operation and not remember the holy healers? Contact them, ask for help and intercession:

Oh, the great saints of Christ and miracle workers Panteleimon, Cosmas and Damian, Cyrus and John, Ermolaeus, Diomedes, Photios and Anikito! Hear us praying to you (names). You are the bearer of our sorrows and ailments, hear the sighs of the many who come to you. For this sake, to you, as a quick helper and a warm prayer book, we call: do not leave us with your intercession with God. We perpetually err from the path of salvation, guide us, merciful teachers. We are weak in the faith, strengthen us, teachers of Orthodoxy. We will greatly harm the doing of good deeds, enrich us, treasures of mercy. We always slander us from the enemy, visible and invisible, and embitter, help us, helpless intercessors. Righteous anger, driven upon us for our iniquity, turn away from us by your intercession at the throne of the Judge of God, to Him you stand in Heaven, saints and righteous ones. Hear us, great saints of Christ, calling you with faith, and ask the Heavenly Father for all of us in your prayers for forgiveness of our sins and deliverance from troubles. You are helpers, intercessors and prayer women, and we send glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit about you, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Operation was successfully completed

Are there prayers after the operation for the recovery of the patient (it would be more correct to say, for recovery). We bring to your attention a prayer composed by St. John of Kronstadt:

Glory to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of the Father without beginning, heal every ailment and every ailment in people, as if you had mercy on me a sinner and delivered me from my illness, not allowing it to develop and kill me for my sins. Grant me from now on, Lord, the strength to firmly do Your will for the salvation of my accursed soul and for Your glory with Your Father without beginning and Your Spirit consubstantial, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Who else to thank

There is no such possibility, because the patient does not get up yet? Then the path reads the prayer "Our Father", "Virgin Mother of God, rejoice" or simply thanks the Lord, the Mother of God and the saints in her own words. After all, mentally pronouncing the phrase "thank you, Lord" is not at all difficult.

What should relatives do?

We found out who to contact at the time of the operation. And the texts of the prayers are given in the article. Only to pray where, it is not clear. At church or at home?

Prayer at home

How good is home prayer for a patient during surgery? With its focus. Relatives pray diligently, there are no extraneous noises and irritants. You can pray out loud, on your knees, with tears - as the soul asks, so do.

Light a candle or lamp in front of the icons.

Women tie headscarves, men do not cover their heads.

Clothing must be decent. No "mini-bikinis" and dresses with slits.

Read the prayer text thoughtfully. Take your time. Our goal is not to develop reading speed, but to help a relative who is currently undergoing surgery.

Feel like crying while praying? Feel free to cry. Tearful sincere prayer reaches the Lord very quickly.

It would be better for all the households to gather for a prayer rule. Remember the words of the Savior: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

• After you know about the completion of the operation, thank the Lord for its outcome.

Prayer in the temple

What is the difference between a temple prayer for a patient during an operation and a home prayer:

In the temple, the soul becomes calmer. Nervousness is felt at home, and the one who prays himself is worried and looks like a bundle of nerves. In the church, this tension noticeably subsides.

You can order a prayer service for the health of the operated person, submit notes to the altar, put candles. Prayer and notes are served if you come to the service. If you just dropped in to pray, then you will have to limit yourself to candles and a mental request.

Here, at the service, there is a common prayer. Pray not two or three people. You can say so or not, but the Lord is among those praying at this moment.

Is it okay to cry in a temple? Yes, you can. Naturally, without lamentations and howls. This is very popular with older ladies.

How to pray in the hospital?

Often, relatives stay in the hospital to wait for the outcome of the operation. Is it possible to pray in this case?

Many hospitals have temples. In order not to shake behind the doors of the operating room, losing all thoughts, go there. It will be much calmer, believe me.

If the patient wants to take communion

It happens in life and so: before the operation, a person did not have time to take communion. And the closer it is, the stronger the need for it arises. How to help him?

Call the priest to the hospital. If there is a temple with her, then invite the priest from there. If not, then there is probably a priest on duty in the nearby temple. Call the temples of the city and invite.

Just check this with your doctor first.

How to help the patient prepare for confession and communion? If he is able to read, give him a clue book. Very good book Father John Krestyankin "The experience of building a confession". Sold in church shops, costs about 100 rubles. No opportunity to buy? Then get the simplest brochure with a list of the most common sins. Can't buy this too? Give the sick man paper and a pen, let him write what he wants to repent of.

Before communion, it is advisable to fast for three days. But for the sick, an exception is made, according to their strength. It is better to clarify this question with the priest. Suddenly the situation is urgent, the operation is scheduled for the very next day.

On the part of loved ones, prayerful preparation for communion will be of great help. Read the canons and the following next to the patient's bed. Just do not be indignant that in the hospital it is impossible. You can read in a whisper, without attracting the attention of other patients.

Patient's actions after surgery

After a person left the hospital on his own feet, it would be necessary to thank all those to whom he himself turned for help. It means the Lord, the Mother of God and the saints of God.

This is done simply. Go to the temple, order a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord. Place candles near the icons of the Mother of God and the saints whom you turned to for help. And thank you in your own words, from the bottom of your heart.

Why is it impossible to order thanksgiving prayers to the Mother of God and the saints? Healing is given by the Lord through prayers. You can order a regular prayer service.

Conclusion

The power of prayer is great. When a mother prays for her child, or a child prays for his parents, there is nothing higher than such a prayer. But this does not mean that the appeals of other relatives are not heard.

God hears everything and everyone. Don't be afraid to turn to Him for help. And do not be afraid to ask His Most Pure Mother for help. Call on the saints, read the prayer to Panteleimon for the patient during the operation. Ask, believe that you have received and it will be given to you.
