Gospel of Luke (17:12–19)
During this time, when Jesus entered into a certain place, He met ten leper men who stood from afar: and they lifted up a voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And seeing the speech to them: go and show yourself to be a priest. And when they walked, they were cleansed. One of them, seeing that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a great voice, and fell on his face at His feet, giving Him praise: and he was a Samaritan. Jesus answered and said, “Aren’t you cleansed ten, and where are nine?” Why is it that the one who returned did not find himself able to give glory to God, except this foreigner? And I said to him: rise up and go; your faith will save you.
Prayer to the Lord

Prayer to Matrona of Moscow - what is it about? What do Orthodox Christians ask when they turn to the saint? We will answer these questions in this article!
What do they pray to Saint Matrona of Moscow?
Saint Matrona of Moscow is a Russian saint of the 20th century. Born blind and crippled, from childhood she spent a lot of time in prayer to God and the Lord gave her mercy - to console people and help people.
Matrona of Moscow is glorified as a saint and she is asked to beg God to grant us help in our problems, troubles and sorrows.
N. Sukhinina writes: “Recently I allowed myself a little experiment. I called several Muscovite acquaintances to choose from - have you received help from Blessed Matronushka? Here are the answers.
“She got me a job, I was knocking doorsteps for six months, and I came to her and asked...
– My husband was threatened with surgery, I went to Matronushka, I have never cried so much, the doctors to this day cannot understand anything.
“My son fought in Chechnya, so I went to the Intercession Monastery like going to work and asked for her prayers. Returned...
“My daughter took the prodigal path, so every day I read an akathist to Blessed Matronushka and begged her.
– I changed my apartment only thanks to Matronushka.
Helps everyone. Russian, she feels sorry for everyone. I saw in line to the relics a large, purple black man with a bouquet of flowers. Wind, wet snow, and he stands and smiles. Of course, they tried to “split” him. And he repeats one thing:
We all need it. So we come here, to the Intercession Monastery, not always with flowers, but always with sins and requests: deliver, help, suggest, put in a word.”

Matronushka - this is the affectionate name for the saint of our days, the blessed old woman Matrona, a poor, persecuted wanderer who helped everyone, being in happiness and joy. Everyone who comes to Matrona of Moscow will remember the feeling of warmth, closeness and responsiveness to a request for help, which occurs during prayerful communication with mother. Today, what she said shortly before her death is being fulfilled: “Everyone, everyone, come to me and tell me, as if alive, about your sorrows, I will see you, and hear you, and help you.” Thousands and thousands of people turn to Matronushka for help, spiritual and physical healing, with a request to grant a spouse, children, and to arrange a solution to a variety of life problems.
Today, the shrine with the relics of the blessed Elder Matrona is located in the left chapel of the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Holy Intercession Monastery in Moscow. Blessed Matrona was an Orthodox person; compassion for people, prayer, the sign of the cross, and fidelity to the holy statutes were the focus of her spiritual life, full of popular piety. Therefore, the help that people receive by prayerfully turning to the righteous woman brings spiritual fruits: people are confirmed in the Orthodox faith, become churchgoers, and become involved in everyday prayer life.
Blessed Matrona (Matrona Dimitrievna Nikonova) was born in 1881 not far from the Kulikovo field, in the village of Sebino. The girl was blind from birth, but had inner vision. From an early age, with prayer and holy water, she treated fellow villagers who came to her, who were looking for deliverance from sorrows, sorrows and illnesses. In 1925, Matronushka moved to Moscow, where she performed a prayer service, saving the unfortunate, those who had fallen from the faith, spiritually sick people with a poisoned consciousness. She continues this ministry to this day, comforting everyone who comes to her with faith and hope for help.

And if the circumstances of your life allow you to visit the capital city, visit the Intercession Monastery there, stand together with many other Orthodox people in a line of pilgrims, and venerate the relics of Blessed Mother Matrona, this is a good deed, and it can only be welcomed.
But, however, let us remind you again and again that the saints hear us anywhere. If, due to the circumstances of your life - economic or other, practical - you do not have the opportunity to get to Moscow today, do not worry too much about it. The saint will accept your prayers where you live.

How to properly thank God and the saints. What can I do
Thanksgiving service and prayer
According to the practice of the Orthodox Church, for all the blessings that we asked for in our prayers, we are supposed to thank only God Himself. And this is quite natural, since Christians turn to saints as intercessors with God, having boldness before Him. But the only source and cause of everything except sin is the Lord Himself.
There is a special rite - a thanksgiving prayer to the Savior. It can be ordered in any temple, but a mandatory condition is the presence at the prayer service of the person who ordered it. You can also pray at home, for example, read the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos, as the main Intercessor for us before God. In general, the Lord, the Mother of God and all the saints rejoice when we have communion with them in the Church, receive communion, confess, that is, lead a pious Christian life - this will be a real life pleasing to God, which should all be gratitude to the Lord for everything His innumerable benefits to us.
Hieromonk Dorotheos (Baranov)
Gratitude, thanksgiving, in Greek - Eucharist. The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion with the Holy Gifts - the Body and Blood of Christ - during the Divine Liturgy... What could be higher, more complete and truer than such thanksgiving?! It is appropriate to give only good to the Source of Good, and good to the Creator of Good: Yours from Yours brings to You...
Website of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Nothing distinguishes a Christian so much as almsgiving; Infidels and everyone are astonished at nothing as much as at works of mercy. And we often need this mercy, and every day we cry out to God: according to your great mercy have mercy on us(Ps. 50:3). But first we ourselves will begin works of mercy, or, better said, we do not begin ourselves, but God himself has already shown His mercy to us. Let us, beloved, follow Him at least from behind. If people show mercy to a merciful person, even if he has committed many sins; then even more so – God.
When performing miracles, you become a debtor to God, but in the act of alms, you lend God. And we give alms when we give it willingly, generously, when we think that we are not giving, but we ourselves receive; when we recognize it as a benefit and gain for ourselves, and not a loss.
Saint John Chrysostom
In giving alms, a special place was occupied by the idea of the importance of maintaining secrecy. It is best to do acts of mercy unnoticed, anonymously, so that the one to whom the mercy is shown cannot thank and other people cannot praise. Otherwise, the good deed may not be counted in heaven, since the giver has already received a reward on earth.
Works of bodily mercy the following: to feed the hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, to clothe the naked or lacking decent and necessary clothing, to visit those in prison, to visit the sick, to welcome a stranger into the house and calm them down, to bury the dead in squalor.
Spiritual works of mercy are as follows: by exhortation to turn a sinner from the error of his way (James 5:20), to teach the ignorant truth and goodness, to give good and timely advice to his neighbor in difficulty or danger that he does not notice, to pray to God for him, to console the sad, not to repay evil, what others have done to us, to forgive offenses from the heart.
Truly I say to you, having done for one of the least of my brothers, you did for Me.
If someone says I love God, but his brother hates, he is a liar, because he does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Your abundant sacrifices are of no use to Me, says the LORD. - I am full of burnt sheep and the fat of fattened cattle. I don’t need the blood of bulls, I don’t need the blood of rams and goats... Enough with worthless offerings!
Incense is disgusting to Me... You stretch out your hands to Me, but I will avert My gaze. And no matter how much you pray, I will not listen to you. Your hands are all covered in blood! Wash yourself, become clean, so that I don’t have to see your evil deeds in the future!
Stop doing evil, learn goodness! Strive for justice rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, stand up for the widow.

During this time, when Jesus entered into a certain place, He met ten leper men who stood from afar: and they lifted up a voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And seeing the speech to them: go and show yourself to be a priest. And when they walked, they were cleansed. One of them, seeing that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a great voice, and fell on his face at His feet, giving Him praise: and he was a Samaritan. Jesus answered and said, “Aren’t you cleansed ten, and where are nine?” Why is it that the one who returned did not find himself able to give glory to God, except this foreigner? And I said to him: rise up and go; your faith will save you.
Lord Jesus Christ our God, God of all mercy and generosity, whose mercy is immeasurable, and His love for mankind is an unsearchable abyss: falling to Your Majesty, with fear and trembling as an unworthy servant, thanksgiving to Your compassion for Your good deeds on Your former servants, now humbly offering, as We glorify the Lord, the Master and the Benefactor, we praise, we sing, we magnify, and we give thanks again, Your immeasurable and ineffable mercy humbly begging.

Glory to Thee God, our Benefactor forever and ever. Amen.

The glorious Apostolic face to You, the prophetic number of praise to You, the bright martyr's army praises You, the Holy Church throughout the entire universe confesses to You, the Father of incomprehensible majesty, the worship of Your True and Only Begotten Son and the Holy Comforter of the Spirit. Thou, O King of Glory, Christ, Thou art the Everlasting Son of the Father. You, having accepted man for the deliverance, did not abhor the Virgin’s womb. You, having overcome the sting of death, have opened the Kingdom of Heaven to believers. You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father, the Judge is confident to come.
We therefore ask You: help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with His Precious Blood: grant them worthy to reign with Thy saints in Thy eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I will correct and exalt them forever; Let us bless You all the days and praise Your name forever and ever.

Prayers of Thanksgiving
Prayers of thanksgiving We are accustomed to often turning to God with requests for something. When He answers our prayers, we sometimes forget about gratitude. This is very unfair. Every time your request is fulfilled, a solution to a problem comes, or something happens
Matronushka - this is the affectionate name for the saint of our days, the blessed old woman Matrona, a poor, persecuted wanderer who helped everyone, being in happiness and joy. Everyone who comes to Matrona of Moscow will remember the feeling of warmth, closeness and responsiveness to a request for help, which occurs during prayerful communication with mother. Today, what she said shortly before her death is being fulfilled: “Everyone, everyone, come to me and tell me, as if alive, about your sorrows, I will see you, and hear you, and help you.” Thousands and thousands of people turn to Matronushka for help, spiritual and physical healing, with a request to grant a spouse, children, and to arrange a solution to a variety of life problems.
Today, the shrine with the relics of the blessed Elder Matrona is located in the left chapel of the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Holy Intercession Monastery in Moscow. Blessed Matrona was an Orthodox person; compassion for people, prayer, the sign of the cross, and fidelity to the holy statutes were the focus of her spiritual life, full of popular piety. Therefore, the help that people receive by prayerfully turning to the righteous woman brings spiritual fruits: people are confirmed in the Orthodox faith, become churchgoers, and become involved in everyday prayer life.
Blessed Matrona (Matrona Dimitrievna Nikonova) was born in 1881 not far from the Kulikovo field, in the village of Sebino. The girl was blind from birth, but had inner vision. From an early age, with prayer and holy water, she treated fellow villagers who came to her, who were looking for deliverance from sorrows, sorrows and illnesses. In 1925, Matronushka moved to Moscow, where she performed a prayer service, saving the unfortunate, those who had fallen from the faith, spiritually sick people with a poisoned consciousness. She continues this ministry to this day, comforting everyone who comes to her with faith and hope for help.

How to thank the holy blessed matron for her intercession and prayers before the Lord
Through the prayers of the holy blessed Matrona, a miracle happened - help came in the most hopeless situations, when all hope had disappeared, when doctors were powerless, when there was no way out, when difficulties were bound in a tight ring, when a terrible diagnosis was made, when the soul was exhausted from despondency and loneliness and the heart asked send a companion or life partner when the house is empty without the laughter of children - then the help of the saints comes, who stand before the Lord and pray for us sinners.
Even the most callous person understands where the help came from... and the heart is filled with joy and gratitude. What to do in joy? How to say “thank you” to the holy righteous Matrona? Thank the Lord in prayers, donate to a temple or monastery, help those in need, light a candle to the icon of the blessed Matrona and the Lord. But the most important thing is to try to change your life so that the Lord and the saints become even closer, try to live according to the Gospel commandments. This is difficult, but the sacraments of the Orthodox Church help us: confession and communion. The Lord is waiting for us to finally come to Him. He knocks on the door of our hearts constantly. Only we hear Him very, very rarely...
Every day shows us countless blessings, whether we want it or not, whether we know about them or not. God does not require anything from us except gratitude to Him for everything given to us, in order to give us even greater reward for this.
Saint John Chrysostom
Every good thing we have and every good thing we do is God’s and from God. Therefore, we have a duty to thank Him for everything, for every benefit received from His generous right hand, explicit or implicit; for every good deed or feat, for every victory over the enemies of our salvation, as we are commanded: “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”(1 Thessalonians 5:18). Take care to kindle in yourself feelings of gratitude to God from the moment you wake up throughout the day and go to sleep with words of gratitude on your lips, because you are immersed in God’s blessings, including sleep itself.
If we had a thousand souls each, shouldn’t we lay down everything for the Lord? However, even in this way we will not do anything worthy of His benefits.
We are unable to adequately thank the Lord. But it is our duty to offer all possible gratitude and to constantly glorify the Lord with words and a virtuous life.
Saint John Chrysostom
Do you want to know how to express gratitude?.. Confessing your sins means thanking God. Whoever confesses his sins shows that he is aware of his guilt in countless sins and has just not received a worthy punishment. He is the one who thanks God the most.
Saint John Chrysostom
The man of the Gospel was also grateful for the good deeds of the Lord, from whom the demons came out, cast out by the power of Christ, for he “asked Him that he might be with Him.” The Lord did not allow him to follow Him and sent him away (Luke 8:38), but he did not forget his Benefactor: he went throughout the city, preaching about what Jesus had done for him. Truly, this man was enriched with spiritual and inexhaustible treasures: for his gratitude he was awarded the gift of preaching.
We will pay attention to the fact that, as a sign of gratitude, he wanted to always be with Christ: “He asked Him that I might be with Him” (Luke 8:38). And let us say this to ourselves: nothing else can be done to thank the Lord God, our Creator and Redeemer, who always provides us with innumerable benefits, except by diligently and according to one’s strength, trying relentlessly and always to be with Him, our Lord. For obvious, known and perfect gratitude consists in always clinging to your benefactor.
Saint Demetrius of Rostov
We will not demand an account from God for what is being done, but we will glorify Him for everything.
Venerable Neil of Sinai
Did something good happen? Bless God and good things will remain. Did something bad happen? Bless God and the bad things will stop.
Saint John Chrysostom
Our faith and love for God are manifested in the fact that, although we do not immediately receive, we are grateful to Him.
Saint Basil the Great
If sorrows for Christ are a gift of God sent by God to a true Christian, then a Christian is obliged to experimentally prove his Christianity through thanksgiving for sorrows, must confess and accept the gift of God with thanksgiving for it. Ineffable praise and thanksgiving to God embraces the Christian amidst the hardships and sorrows with which God’s Providence removes him from sympathy and enslavement to sin, by which he is included in the host of Christ’s followers. With reverent submission, give praise to the judgment of God and justify the instruments chosen by God for your punishment. The peace of Christ will descend upon your heart. I thank You, Lord and my God, for everything that has happened to me! I thank You for all the sorrows and temptations that You sent me to cleanse my soul and body, defiled by sins! God bless! Powerful words. During sorrowful circumstances, when the heart is surrounded by thoughts of doubt, cowardice, displeasure, and murmuring, one must force oneself to frequent, unhurried, attentive repetition of the words: thank God!
To those who glorify and bless God, He usually bestows even more abundant blessings. The Lord demands gratitude from us not because he needs our glorification, but so that all the benefits turn to us and we become worthy of even greater mercies from Him.
Saint John Chrysostom
God does not need your thanksgiving, but you need God's blessings. The container and repository of these benefits is a grateful heart.
Venerable Nicodemus the Holy Mountain
Thanks to gratitude, a wonderful calmness is introduced into the soul, joy is introduced, despite the fact that sorrows surround you from everywhere.
Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov
He honors and glorifies God,
who does His will;
but he dishonors God,
who transgresses His law.
Saint Basil the Great
Saint John Chrysostom
God is glorified in a person when his virtue testifies that the cause of goodness is in God’s power.
Saint Gregory of Nyssa
Glory to God in loving His commandments and keeping them. Any Christian who does not glorify God by fulfilling His commandments and keeping His commandments is worse than an infidel.
Venerable Simeon the New Theologian
The one who glorifies God within himself is not the one who reverently honors Him only with words, but who, for the sake of God and the commandments, patiently endures suffering and labor. Such a one is mutually glorified by the glory that exists in God, bearing within himself the grace of dispassion as a reward for virtue. Anyone who glorifies God within himself through suffering due to a virtuous life is himself glorified in God, acquiring dispassion, illuminated by the Divine rays in a state of contemplation. No one can truly bless God unless he has sanctified his body with virtues and enlightened his soul with true knowledge.
Venerable Maximus the Confessor

Spiritual works of mercy are as follows: by exhortation to turn a sinner from the error of his way (James 5:20), to teach the ignorant truth and goodness, to give good and timely advice to his neighbor in difficulty or danger that he does not notice, to pray to God for him, to console the sad, not to repay evil, what others have done to us, to forgive offenses from the heart.
Truly I say to you, having done for one of the least of my brothers, you did for Me.
Matthew 25:31–46
If someone says I love God, but his brother hates, he is a liar, because he does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:20
Your abundant sacrifices are of no use to Me, says the LORD. - I am full of burnt sheep and the fat of fattened cattle. I don’t need the blood of bulls, I don’t need the blood of rams and goats... Enough with worthless offerings!
Incense is disgusting to Me... You stretch out your hands to Me, but I will avert My gaze. And no matter how much you pray, I will not listen to you. Your hands are all covered in blood! Wash yourself, become clean, so that I don’t have to see your evil deeds in the future!
Stop doing evil, learn goodness! Strive for justice rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, stand up for the widow.
Isa 1:11–17
Miraculous cases of help through the prayers of St. Matrona of Moscow
The first thing I would like to do is thank the Lord for everything! For all the trials that he gives us, for friends and enemies, for health and illness, for love and for the miracle of simply being. And most importantly - for such great intercessors as Matrona! I want to tell you about help through prayers to Matrona. I graduated from college and it was time to get a job. But no matter how many interviews I went through, they didn’t hire me anywhere, without saying or explaining anything. I was desperate, very... I learned about Matrona through social networks. It so “happened” that I began to visit the temple, go to services (now I understand that this happened according to the “instruction” of St. Nicholas and Matronushka). And I prayed and prayed every time I came to the temple, Matro-nushka, so that she would help me find a job. And there was a moment when I wondered why help didn’t come, because I really really needed it. This was a lesson to me. One earnest request is not enough. It took me a long time to decide on confession and communion. But still she overcame her “enemy.” I passed the Sacrament of Confession and Communion. And a week later I found a job. Here's the story. Glory to the Lord in His saints!

I want to tell you about the first miracle that happened to me through prayers to Matronushka. In March 2013, I officially divorced my husband; before that, we had not lived together for 2 years, I was alone and didn’t even think about a new relationship. But still, like any girl, I wanted love, I wanted to meet a man, a husband with whom we could go through life together, give birth to a child and be happy. And then I began to pray. She prayed tearfully, sincerely, and repented. She said: “Mother, I’ll fix everything, I’ll give him what I couldn’t give to my husband...” She endlessly had an internal dialogue with Matronushka, told her everything and everything and asked Mother to send me the one and only one. Height, eye color or wealth were not important to me, what was important was that the person was a believer, and I promised my mother never to make those mistakes, that in my first marriage, I would become better, I would moderate my selfishness, I would do everything for this man, I would learn not only to take , but also to give. And for him I will be the best! And suddenly one evening I clearly hear a quiet voice: “You will meet him in 2 months.” It was May 18, and on August 18 I actually met HIM without looking for him at all! And it’s a miracle, because everything coincided right away. It turned out that we live very close, his name is that rare name that I have loved since childhood and would like to name my son with, we have the same, rather rare middle names, his sister’s name is the same as mine, and many more amazing coincidences and similarities. Indeed, with him I changed a lot, became better, wiser. I try to fulfill my promise to Matronushka. Our relationship cannot be called flawless, but we will overcome everything together and get through everything. Mother Matrona, thank you for your LOVE!

Good afternoon Matronushka helped me more than once: through my mother’s prayers and thanks to the Lord God, I had a daughter, Mashenka. And just yesterday another miracle happened! My relative is temporarily experiencing difficulties, and then she lost her foreign passport, which was used to give her Russian citizenship, and the money that we sent to help her. I prayed to Mother Matrona, and a month later the passport was found. Someone took the money and threw away the passport, the boy picked it up and brought it to my grandmother, and she called my relative, fortunately her phone number was in the passport. Isn't this a miracle! We thank Mother Matrona!!!
