And now enlighten my mental eyes, open my mouth, to learn Your words, and to understand Your commandments, and to do Your will,

and sing to Thee in heartfelt confession, and glorify Thy all-holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

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.

I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and 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 shown me Your unknown and secret wisdom.

Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

There is joy and gladness in my hearing;

the bones of the humble will rejoice.

then they will place your calf on the altar.

Morning prayers for beginners

People turn to faith at different ages, and this mainly happens when a person is looking for consolation or help. Appeals to God occur through reading prayer texts that contain deep meaning. Every day brings different challenges, ups and downs for a person. In order not to experience disappointment and not face various troubles, it is important to receive the protection of Higher powers.

According to the laws of Orthodoxy, it is customary to start your day with morning prayer. It helps you get in the right frame of mind, receive blessings and support. It is very important for people who have recently turned to faith to learn to navigate existing church canons and customs.

Rules of morning prayers for beginners

Today there are many prayers that are worth choosing depending on the circumstances. The first and most important action is to renounce Satan. There are no specific strict rules for reading prayer texts, and to a greater extent, the spiritual mood is very important. When turning to God, the believer must be calm, not experience any negative feelings and not think about anything other than the Lord. Only through sincere faith can you count on the Higher powers to hear your prayer and respond to it. The morning rules for saying prayer are very simple: first you should wash your face and dress in decent attire. It is best to turn to God while alone, so that nothing interferes or distracts you. You need to read the prayer in front of the image, after placing a lighted candle or lamp next to it. You can learn the text by heart, but it is difficult for beginners, so use a prayer book. Before reading the prayer text, you need to thank God that last night went well, and then you can say a short morning prayer for beginners, and the publican’s text is as follows:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Don't underestimate this short prayer, which has great power. It is read not only in the morning, but also before leaving the house or any important events. After this, you can turn to God in your own words, telling about what is on your soul, what your goals and desires are. A sincere appeal will allow you to free yourself from the burden and tune in to a good wave.

The prayer can also be said in church, which you should go to without breakfast; this rule does not apply to sick people. It is worth paying attention to clothing, so the woman should have a long skirt and a head covered with a scarf. When entering the temple, you should cross yourself three times and bow.

The morning prayer “Our Father” is ideal for turning to God, both in church and at home; in general, it is considered universal. By reading this prayer, a person, as it were, pays tribute to the Higher powers, sending gratitude for allowing him to wake up and giving him another day of life. People who have just turned to faith should know that they can also read it in difficult moments of life, when support and help are needed. The text of the prayer is as follows:

Every person has a guardian angel who is nearby and helps to cope with various problems. You can contact him with various questions. There is a special morning prayer to the guardian angel that should be read to give thanks, ask for forgiveness and receive protection. The text of this prayer is as follows:

“Holy Angel, stand before my damned soul and my passionate life,

do not forsake me, a sinner; forsake me for my intemperance.

Do not give room to the evil demon to possess me through the violence of this mortal body;

strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation.

To her, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body

Forgive me all, I have offended you so much all the days of my life,

and if I have sinned this night, cover me this day,

and keep me from every nasty temptation,

Yes, in no sin will I anger God,

and pray for me to the Lord, that He may strengthen me in His passion,

and she is worthy to show me the servant of His goodness.

Another powerful prayer to recite in the morning is for the Holy Spirit. This ancient prayer text is difficult to understand, but it is powerful. You can read it not only in the morning, but also before meals. The text of the prayer is:

“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 Blessed One, our souls.”

Preface

The experience of educational work and interaction with the elderly in social service centers, with children in the Orthodox-oriented children's recreation program "Star of Bethlehem", as well as with church-going adults in catechetical courses, reveals the enormous difficulties that these categories of believers experience in prayerful communication with God . Due to age, employment, or poor ecclesiastical development of children's consciousness, they do not understand the prayer books in Church Slavonic that are in general church use. At the same time, such believers sometimes have no opportunity to attend courses in the Church Slavonic language or study it at home on their own. In addition, few new Christians, due to lack of prayer and church experience, have the opportunity to read the morning and evening rules in full.
As a result of the above, an urgent need arose to compile and publish the text of the main church prayers contained in the Orthodox prayer book in Russian. The creation of such a prayer book received approval from a large number of responsible church workers and authoritative clergy, as well as Orthodox youth leaders at the conference “Youth in the Church. Problems and ways to solve them" (2005).
A short prayer book for new Christians in Russian has been prepared by me for publication since 2004. Over the years, based on consultations with specialists, the prayer book has been revised many times, in 2007 it passed philological and theological censorship, and last year it received approval from the Synodal Department of Religious Education and Catechesis. Currently, the Hierarchy is considering the possibility of publishing this prayer book. Until the appropriate decision, it cannot be officially published in printed form.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my iniquities. Wash me often from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I am aware of my iniquities, and my sin is always before me. I have sinned against You, the One, and have done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are righteous in Your judgment and pure in Your judgment. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sin. But, behold, You loved righteousness and revealed to me the hidden secret of Your wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, and the broken bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Give me back my joy hope Strengthen me for salvation through You and the sovereign Spirit.

Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. If You wanted a sacrifice, I would offer it, but You do not favor a burnt offering. A sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit; You will not reject a contrite and humble heart, O God. Show me God May your favor be with Zion, and may the walls of Jerusalem be erected. Then the sacrifices of righteousness, the wave offerings and the burnt offerings will be acceptable to You; Then they will place bullocks on Your altar.

Song 1

Prayer 1, St. .

Master, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, Source of life and immortality, Creator of all creation, visible and invisible, of the Beginningless Father, also the eternal and also the beginningless Son! According to Your excessive goodness, in the last days You became incarnate, crucified and buried for us, the ungrateful and evil-willed, and through Your blood you renewed our nature, corrupted by sin. You Yourself, immortal King, accept my repentance, a sinner; incline Your ear to me and hear my words. For I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned against heaven and before You, and I am not worthy to lift up my eyes to heavenly the height of Your glory; for I have angered Thy goodness, having transgressed Thy commandments and not obeyed Thy commandments. But You, Lord, gentle, long-suffering, and abundantly merciful, did not allow me to perish among my iniquities, waiting in every possible way for my conversion. For You said, O Lover of Mankind, through Your prophet, that You do not desire the death of a sinner, but that he should turn on the path of good and was alive. You do not want, O Lord, for the creation of Your hands to perish, and You do not find satisfaction in human destruction, but You want everyone to be saved and achieve the knowledge of the truth. Therefore, I, although I am not worthy of either heaven or earth, or this short-lived life itself, since I have enslaved myself entirely to sin and sensual pleasures and have defiled in itself Your Image, but, being Your creation and creation, I, unfortunate one, do not despair of my salvation and boldly resort to Your immeasurable mercy. Accept me, O Lord who loves mankind, as a harlot, as a thief, as a publican, as a prodigal son. And remove from me the heavy burden of sins - You, who take upon yourself the sin of the world and heal human infirmities, - who call the weary and burdened to Yourself and give them rest, - who came to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance. And cleanse me from all impurity of body and soul, and teach me to lead a holy life in fear of You, so that, by communing, with a clear testimony of my conscience, Your Holy Things, I may enter into unity with Your holy Body and Blood and have You living in me and abiding with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Oh, Lord Jesus Christ, my God! And may the communion of Your most pure and life-giving Mysteries not be a condemnation for me, and may I not become weak in soul and body from unworthy communion of them; but grant me, until my last breath, to partake of Your Holy Things, not as a condemnation, A into communion with the Holy Spirit, as parting words into eternal life and as a favorable response at Thy Last Judgment, so that I, along with all Thy chosen ones, may become a participant in the fullness of Thy blessings, prepared by Thee, O Lord, for those who love Thee, in which Thou art glorified forever. Amen.

Prayer 2, St.

Lord, my God, I recognize that I am unworthy and not prepared for You to enter under the roof of the dwelling of my soul, because it is all empty and destroyed, and there is no worthy place in me where to lay my head to You. But how You humbled Yourself for us, came down from high heavenly, so now descend to my insignificance. And how it pleased You to lie down in a cave, in a wordless manger animals, so deign to enter the manger of my reckless soul and my desecrated body. And just as You did not disdain to enter and take part in the evening with sinners in the house of Simon the leper, so deign to enter into the dwelling of my humble, leper and sinful soul.

And just as You did not reject a harlot and sinner like me, who came and touched You, so also have mercy on me, a sinner, who comes and touches You. And just as You did not abhor her foul and unclean lips that kissed You, so do not abhor even more than hers my foul and unclean lips, my vile and unclean lips and my foul and even more unclean tongue. But let it be for me flaming coal of Your most holy Body and Your precious Blood for sanctification and enlightenment, for the health of my humble soul and body, for alleviating the burden of many of my sins, for protection from all devilish influences, for the elimination and curbing of my bad and harmful habits, for the mortification of passions, for success in Your Commandments, to the increase of Your divine grace, to the acquisition of Your Kingdom. For I come to You, Christ God, not as impudent, but as one who trusts in Your unspeakable mercy and so that, far separated from You, I am not kidnapped by a spiritual wolf. Therefore, I pray to You: as the only Saint, sanctify, O Lord, my soul and body, mind and heart, all internal organs, and renew me entirely, and root the fear of You in my members, and make Your sanctification indelible in me. Be my helper and protector, guiding my life peacefully like a helmsman, may I be honored at the Court to stand at Your right hand with Your Saints, through the prayers and intercession of Your All-Pure Mother, Your disembodied servants and the Most Pure Powers and all the saints who have pleased You from eternity. Amen.

Prayer 3, St.

Lord, the only pure and immortal, inexpressibly Yours compassion and love for mankind, who took upon Himself all our complex nature from the pure virgin blood of Who supernaturally gave birth to You by the influx of the Holy Spirit, by the good pleasure of the eternal Father, Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God, peace and power! You, who through Your assumed flesh accepted life-giving and saving sufferings: the cross, nails, death - kill my soul-destroying bodily passions. You, who by Your burial have devastated the kingdom of hell, bury my bad intentions with good thoughts and scatter the spirits of evil. You, to Your life-giving on the third day from the coffin having raised the fallen forefather by rebellion, raise me too, who have fallen into sin, giving me the means of repentance. Thou, by Thy glorious ascension, who deified the received flesh and made it worthy to sit at the right hand of the Father, grant me also, through the communion of Thy holy Mysteries, to reach the right side of those being saved. You, who by the descent of the Comforter of the Spirit made Your holy disciples precious vessels, show me also to be the receptacle of His coming. You, who intend to come again to righteously judge the universe, deign to meet me, with all Your saints, You, my Judge and Creator, future on the clouds, so that I endlessly glorify and sing Your praises, with Your beginningless Father and Your All-Holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 4, St.

As a merciful and lover of mankind, neglect all my sins, committed both consciously and unconsciously, and grant me, without being condemned, to partake of the divine, glorious, most pure and life-giving Mysteries, not as an aggravation sins, neither into torment, nor into the multiplication of sins, but into cleansing, sanctification, as a pledge of future life and the Kingdom, for protection, help and driving away enemies, for the destruction of many of my sins. For You are a merciful, compassionate and loving God, and to You we send up glory, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 5th, St. Basil the Great

I know, Lord, that I unworthily partake of Your most pure Body and Your precious Blood, and I am guilty, and I eat and drink my own condemnation, not distinguishing between Your Body and Blood, Christ and my God. But I, trusting in Your compassion, come to You, who said: “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” Have mercy, O Lord, and do not expose me, a sinner, but deal with me according to Your mercy. And may this Shrine be for me for healing, cleansing, enlightenment, preservation and salvation, and for the sanctification of soul and body; to drive away everyone empty dreams, evil deeds and devilish influence manifested through thoughts in my members; for boldness before You and love for You, for the correction and affirmation of life in goodness, the growth of virtue and perfection, for the fulfillment of the commandments, for communion with the Holy Spirit, for guidance into eternal life, for a favorable answer at Your terrible judgment, - not for condemnation or as punishment.

Prayer 6th, St. John Chrysostom

Let me go, forgive me, forgive me my sins, O God, with which I have sinned before You in word, deed, thought, voluntarily and involuntarily, consciously and unconsciously, forgive me everything, for You are good and a lover of mankind. And through the prayers of Your most pure Mother, Your disembodied servants and holy Powers, and all the saints who have pleased You from the beginning of the world, deign me to accept without condemnation Your holy and most pure Body and honorable Blood, for the healing of soul and body and for the cleansing of my evil thoughts: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 7th, his

I am not worthy, Master Lord, for You to enter under the roof of my soul. But since You, O Lover of Mankind, want to live in me, I boldly approach. You command, and I will open the doors that You alone created, and You will enter with ordinary love for mankind, You will enter and enlighten my darkened mind. I believe that You will do this. For You did not leave the harlot who came to You with tears; He did not reject the repentant publican; He did not even drive away the robber who recognized You as the King; did not leave what he was, and the repentant persecutor Your Pavel; but to all who came to You with repentance, You gave a place in the host of Your friends, the only Blessed One, always, now and forever. Amen.

Prayer 8th, his

Lord Jesus Christ, my God, weaken, let go, cleanse, have mercy and forgive me, a sinner, Thy unworthy and unworthy servant, all my mistakes, sins and falls that I have sinned against You from my youth to this day and hour: consciously or unconsciously, by words or deeds, attractions, thoughts, aspirations and all my feelings. And through the prayers of the most pure, ever-virgin Mary, Your Mother, who gave birth to You without seed, the only firm hope, protection and salvation of me, grant me the ability to partake of Your most pure, eternal, saving and terrible Mysteries, without bringing upon myself condemnation, for the remission of sins and eternal life, to sanctification and enlightenment, to strength, healing and health of soul and body, to the extermination and complete destruction of my evil thoughts, thoughts and intentions, as well as unclean dreams, dark and evil spirits. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, and the honor, and the worship, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and always and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 9, St.

I stand before the doors of Your temple, and after all I don’t leave bad thoughts. But You, Christ God, Who justified the publican and had mercy on the Canaanite woman and opened the doors of paradise to the thief, open Your humane heart to me and accept me, coming and touching You as You accepted the harlot and the bleeding woman: for one, touching the hem of Your garment, immediately received healing; the other, hugging Your most pure feet, received forgiveness of sins.

And I, unfortunate one, deciding to accept Your entire Body, may I not burn; but accept me as You accepted those women, and enlighten the feelings of my soul, burning away my sins, with prayers without the seed of You Who gave birth and the heavenly Powers. For blessed are You forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer 10, St. John Chrysostom

I believe, Lord, and confess that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. I also believe that this is Your most pure Body and this is Your precious Blood itself. Therefore, I ask You: have mercy on me and forgive me my sins, voluntary and involuntary, which I have committed in word or deed, consciously or unconsciously; and deign me, without condemnation, to partake of Your most pure Mysteries to receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Amen.

End of prayers

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 the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

Immediately before Communion, if possible, recite the following verses to yourself:

Here I begin to receive divine communion. Creator, do not burn me with communion! For You are the fire that burns the unworthy. But cleanse me from all uncleanness.

never such kiss like Judas, but like the thief, I openly express my faith in You, saying: “Remember me, O Lord, in Your Kingdom!”

And the following verses:

Man, tremble at the sight of the divine Blood! She is a fire that burns the unworthy. The Body of God deifies and nourishes me: it deifies the spirit, incomprehensibly nourishes the mind.

Then the troparia:

You attracted me, Christ, with love and changed me with a holy desire for You. My sins have been consumed by immaterial fire, and I am worthy to sweetly enjoy You, so that I may glorify Your two comings with rejoicing.

How can I, unworthy, enter into the bright host of Your saints? After all, if I decide to enter the palace with them marriage, my clothes will give me away, because they are not the kind they wear to a wedding, and I will be bound and expelled by the Angels. Cleanse, Lord, the impurity of my soul and save me, as a Lover of mankind.

Also the prayer:

Master - O Lord, Lover of mankind, Jesus Christ my God, let this Shrine be to me not as an accusation for my unworthiness, but as a cleansing of soul and body and as a pledge of future life and the Kingdom. It is good for me to cleave to God, to place my hope in the Lord for my salvation.

And again:

Receive me today as a participant in Your mystical Supper, Son of God, for I never I will not reveal secrets to Your enemies, nor will I give You such kiss like Judas, but like a thief, I openly express my faith in You, saying: Remember me, O Lord, in Your Kingdom!

Prayers after Holy Communion

Prayer 1, thanksgiving

I thank You, Lord, my God, that You did not reject me, a sinner, but made me worthy to partake of Your Holy Things.

And thus, having departed from this life in the hope of Eternal life, I will come to a place of eternal peace, where the voices of the triumphant do not cease and where the joy of those who look at the indescribable beauty of Your face is endless.

Prayer 3, St. Simeon Metaphrastus

Lord, who voluntarily gave me Your flesh for food, You are the fire that burns the unworthy! Don't burn me, my Creator! But go into the members of my body, into all the joints, into the entrails, into the heart, and the thorns of all my sins fell. Cleanse my soul, sanctify my thoughts, strengthen me in my activities, enlighten my feelings, imbue me with fear of You. Always protect, protect, take care of me from every deed and word harmful to the soul. Cleanse, wash, adorn me; strengthen, admonish and enlighten me. Make me Your temple of the one Spirit and no longer a dwelling place of sin, so that after receiving Communion every evildoer, every passion will flee from me, as from Your house, as from fire. As intercessors for myself, I present to You all the saints, the leaders of the ethereal Powers, Your Forerunner, the wise Apostles and, above them, Your immaculate, most pure Mother. Accept their prayers, my merciful Christ, and make Your servant a son of light. For You, the Merciful One, alone are the sanctification and illumination of our souls. And to You, as befits God and Master, we all send glory to You every day.

Prayer 4

May Thy Holy Body, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, be unto me for eternal life, and Thy precious Blood for the remission of sins: and may this communion be for me joy, health and gladness;

Fifth prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos

Most Holy Lady Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, hope, protection, refuge, consolation, my joy! I thank You that You have vouchsafed me, unworthy, to partake of the most pure Body and precious Blood of Your Son. You who gave birth to the true Light, enlighten the spiritual eyes of my heart. O Thou who gave birth to the Source of immortality, revive me, deadened by sin. Merciful Mother of the Merciful God, have mercy on me and give me tenderness and contrition in my heart, humility in my thoughts, a return to the good thoughts of my mind, in cases of its infatuation. And grant me, until my last breath, without being condemned, to accept the shrine of the most pure Mysteries for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and thanksgiving, so that I may sing and glorify You all the days of my life, since You are Blessed and glorified forever. Amen.

Now do You let Your servant go, Master, according to Your word, in peace, for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the face of all nations, a light to enlighten the Gentiles and the glory of Your people Israel.

After which the end of the prayers of thanksgiving:

Lord have mercy. (12 times)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always and unto ages of ages. Amen.

We magnify You as the true Mother of God, who gave birth without illness to God the Word, worthy of greater honor than the Cherubim, and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim.

After Communion of the Body and Blood of the Lord, let everyone remain in purity, abstinence and laconicism, so as to worthily preserve within themselves the Christ received.

The sign of the cross is a Christian’s hand depiction of the sign of the Cross as a sign of our testimony to the truth of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. A symbol of belonging to Christ.

Often people bring their young children to the temple in order to perform the sacrament of baptism because it is necessary. This ends their meeting with God. The baby grows, gets stronger, and if the family and his relatives do not visit churches, do not pray and do not observe fasts, then the child does not grow up attached to the Faith in the full sense of the word. Only when difficulties, misfortunes, and serious illnesses happen in life, then people turn to God for help and support. This can happen both in youth and in adulthood, and even in old age.

In contact with

Classmates

The Lord is merciful, he accepts all the lost. However, Christians who are new to the knowledge of the true Faith must follow some rules. One of these rules is the daily reading of morning and evening prayers. There are quite a lot of them, so morning prayers for beginners come down to reading a few basic rules. In churches, the rules are read in Church Slavonic, but for the convenience of beginners, the texts of the morning prayers have been translated into modern Russian.

Observance of rituals

Like any other religion, Christianity has its own rituals that must be observed

Daily Prayer. Every day, morning and evening, Christians offer prayers. There are also certain rules that are read before eating.
Pectoral cross. The cross in Christianity is a symbol of faith, therefore all believers wear a cross.
Veneration of icons and holy relics. In the houses of believers there are corners with icons, looking at which they perform prayer rules. Many churches and monasteries have miraculous and myrrh-streaming icons. The incorrupt relics of saints, as a rule, are kept in monasteries and many believers come from different parts of the country to venerate them and ask for something or thank them for their help.

List of short morning prayers

If for some reason believers cannot visit the temple, then they should read the morning rules at home. A complete list of morning rules is in the prayer book, but it is better to start with short prayers. Among them the following must be present:

Heavenly King
Trisagion
Mother of God
Having risen from sleep
Have mercy on me, God
I believe
God, cleanse
To You, Master
Saint Angele
Holy Lady
Calling the Saints
Prayer for the living and the dead.

Although morning prayers are said at the images of the house, one should not forget that one should prepare for reading them:

After awakening, believers should wash themselves and put on comfortable clothes.
Women are advised to tie a scarf on their heads. Although many people do not follow this rule at home, priests advise tying a scarf as a sign of humility.
Abandon all sinful thoughts.
It is advisable to retire so that there are no distractions.
You can light a candle or lamp in front of the images.
Prepare a prayer book and begin reading morning prayers.

Features of morning prayers for beginners

As mentioned above, all morning rules are collected in a prayer book, but beginners are recommended to read only a short list, gradually increasing their number. Many priests say that the number of morning prayers is actually not that important. A person's attitude is important. His readiness to “conversate with the Lord.” Sometimes even the shortest prayer of a publican: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner”, spoken sincerely with all your heart, will be heard faster than a complete set of morning prayers, read “because it’s supposed to be so.”

For a deeper understanding and understanding, beginning Christians are recommended to read the rules in modern Russian. Although church shops, as a rule, sell prayer books in Church Slavonic, you can find their translations into Russian on the Internet. You can also listen to the prayers in audio recordings.

It is recommended to begin reading morning prayers with gratitude to God for the fact that the night passed peacefully and for the coming day. Having crossed yourself, you should say: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen". Then you can read the publican’s prayer: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner". Its text is quite simple and understandable, but, pronounced with deep faith, it can work miracles.

After this, the so-called initial prayer is read: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen. Glory to Thee, our God, Glory to Thee."

Then one of the most ancient Orthodox prayers is said "Lord have mercy". Every Christian should know it. It is pronounced 3 times, thereby glorifying the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In order for the Lord to bless every hour of the beginning of the day, it is recommended to say this short phrase 12 times, and to sanctify the entire life of a believer - 40 times.

In addition, the list of morning rules for beginning Christians to read includes:

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Trisagion
Our Father
Hail Mary, Virgin Mary
Prayer to the Holy Trinity.

The clergy advise starting with these rules, gradually adding one prayer at a time. But in Orthodoxy there should not be a “Pharisee approach”, that is, prayers should come from the heart, and not according to the rules. It is better to say one simple rule from your heart or pray in your own words than to read a complete set of morning rules just because you need to.

Rules for visiting the temple

Anyone can pray at home in front of images, but sooner or later the understanding comes that you need to go to church. The rules for visiting the temple are quite simple:

The most important thing is the mental attitude.
In the morning you should wash your face and put yourself in order.
Read a short prayer.
You should not have breakfast. This rule does not apply to infants, sick and infirm people.
Clothes for visiting the temple should be simple. Women are required to wear dresses or skirts below the knee, and cover their heads with a headscarf or scarf. Men should also pay attention to their appearance; it is better to avoid fashionable torn or frayed jeans, and also avoid wearing T-shirts with strange prints.
Upon entering the temple, you should cross yourself 3 times and bow.
In the temple, men are forbidden to wear a headdress; women, on the contrary, must have their heads covered.
Before the start of the liturgy, you can go up to the icons and light candles.
The liturgy begins with morning prayers.

As a rule, in almost every church there are people who like to teach beginning Christians how to do this or that according to the rules. It is very important not to pay attention to such comments and maintain a friendly attitude and calmness towards everyone around you.

All beginning Christians should remember that the Lord is omnipresent, he sees and hears everyone who turns to him with sincere faith. Many people are embarrassed to pray or visit church, citing the fact that they do not know church canons and rules, but in reality, all this is comprehended gradually. If a person sincerely believes in God, then he will come to understand how to behave correctly in church and how to read prayers.

Also, many beginning Christians say that they do not grasp the meaning of the prayers that are written in Church Slavonic, but this is quite easy to comprehend if you know the main points of the translation into modern Russian. You can even find a complete translation of morning prayers on the Internet.

Basic prayers should be gradually learned by heart. According to many believers, prayers are remembered by themselves without much effort after repeated reading. It is also important to remember that when reading the psalms you do not need to be baptized. Also on Sunday, Christmas, Exaltation and Transfiguration, bows to the ground are not performed. However, no one will demand strict adherence to these rules and examine believers.

So, morning prayers for beginners boil down to reading a short list of rules. In the prayer book, these rules are written in Church Slavonic, but beginners can find their translation into modern Russian for better understanding. It is not the number of prayers read that is important, but the mood with which they are said. Sometimes even the simplest and shortest prayer, said from the bottom of your heart in your own words, will be heard by God faster than a complete set of rules read because it is necessary. All church rules are comprehended by believers gradually.

Rising from sleep, before doing anything else, stand reverently, presenting yourself before the All-Seeing God, and, making the sign of the cross, say:

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Then wait a little until all your feelings come to silence and your thoughts leave everything earthly, and then say the following prayers, without haste and with heartfelt attention:

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and giving life to those in the tombs.)

Trisagion:

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Read three times, with the sign of the cross and bow from the waist)

Troparia Trinity

Having risen from sleep, we fall down to Ti, the Better, and cry out the angelic song to Ti, the Stronger:

From bed and sleep You have raised me up, O Lord, enlighten my mind and heart, and open my lips to sing to You, Holy Trinity: Holy, Holy, Holy, O God, have mercy on us through the Mother of God.
And now:
Suddenly the Judge will come, and everyone's deeds will be exposed,
but with fear we call at midnight: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O God, have mercy on us by the Mother of God.
Lord, have mercy (12 times).

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Having risen from sleep, I thank Thee, Holy Trinity, for for the sake of Thy goodness and long-suffering, Thou didst not become angry with me, lazy and sinful, nor did Thou destroy me with my iniquities; but Thou hast usually loved mankind, and in the despair of the one who lay down, Thou hast raised me up to practice and glorify Thy power. And now enlighten my mental eyes, open my lips, let them learn Your words, and understand Your commandments, and do Your will, and sing to You in confession of the heart, and glorify Your all-holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. . Amen.

Come, let us worship our King God. (Bow)
Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ. King to our God. (Bow)
Come, let us bow and fall down to Christ Himself, the King and our God. (Bow)

Psalm 50:

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. You alone have I sinned and done evil before You: so that You may be justified in Your words and overcome Your judgment at all times. 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. Give joy and gladness to my hearing: 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: a contrite and humble heart God will not despise. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may they be created
walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, the wave offering and the burnt offering: then they will lay the bullock on Your altar.

Psalm 90
Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my intercessor, and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. As if he will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from the speech of rebellion. His cloak will cover you, and you will hope under His wing: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that comes in the darkness, from the treasure and the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you. Look before your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body: as His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your paths: They will take you in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone: Step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent.
Because I am a catch, I will deliver you, and I will cover you, because you have known My name. He will call to me and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will exorcise him, and I will glorify him: I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

But give me the best, Lord, strengthen me, help me to suffer and die for Your Holy Name and the Orthodox Faith, but not to renounce You and not to accept the seal of the damned Antichrist and not to bow to him. Grant me, Lord, day and night crying and tears for my sin, and have mercy on me, Lord, at the hour of Your Last Judgment. Amen.

Psalm 50... (see among morning prayers)

Psalm 3
Lord, why have I multiplied the cold; many rise up against me, many say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But you, Lord, are my protector, my glory, and lift up my head. I cried out to the Lord with my voice and heard me from my holy mountain. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of the people around who attack me. Arise, Lord, save me, my God: for you have struck down those who are at enmity with me in vain, you have crushed the teeth of sinners.

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, Master of life and death, Comforter of the afflicted! With a contrite and tender heart, I run to You and pray to You: remember, Lord, in Your Kingdom your departed servant, my child (name), and create for him an eternal memory.

Prayer of the Lost Spouse
Christ Jesus, Lord and Almighty! In contrition and tenderness of my heart, I pray to You: rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant (name) in Your heavenly kingdom. Lord Almighty!
You blessed the marital union of husband and wife, when you said: it is not good for man to be alone, let us create for him a helper according to him. You have sanctified this union in the image of the spiritual union of Christ with the Church. By faith, O Lord, I confess that You have blessed me to unite me in this holy union with one of Your handmaids. Your good and wise will deigned to take away from me this servant of Yours, whom You gave to me as a helper and companion of my life. I bow before Thy will, and I pray to Thy with all my heart, accept this prayer for Thy servant (name), and forgive her if she has sinned in word, deed, thought, knowledge and ignorance; If you love earthly things more than heavenly things, if you care about the clothing and adornment of your body more than about the enlightenment of the clothing of your soul, or if you are careless about your children; if you upset anyone by word or deed; If there is a grudge in your heart against your neighbor or condemn someone or anything else you have done from such evil people. Forgive her all this, for she is good and philanthropic; for there is no man who will live and not sin.
Do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, as Thy creation, do not condemn her to eternal torment for her sin, but have mercy and mercy according to Thy great mercy. I pray and ask You, Lord, to grant me strength throughout the days of my life to not cease to pray for Your departed servant, and even until the end of my life to ask her from You, the Judge of the whole world, for forgiveness of her sins. Yes, as if You, God, placed a crown of stone on her head, crowning her here on earth; Thus crown me with Your eternal glory in Your heavenly kingdom, with all the Saints who rejoice there, so that together with them He may forever sing Your all-holy name with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Widow's prayer for her husband
Christ Jesus, Lord and Almighty! You are the comfort of the crying, the orphans and the widows. You said: call on Me in the day of your sorrow, and I will destroy you. In the days of my sorrow, I run to You and pray to You: do not turn Your face away from me and hear my prayer brought to You with tears. You, Lord, Master of all, have deigned to unite me with one of Your servants, so that we may be one body and one spirit; You gave me this servant as a companion and protector. It was your good and wise will to take away this servant of yours from me and leave me alone. I bow before Your will and I resort to You in the days of my sorrow: quench my sorrow about separation from Your servant, my friend. Even if you took him away from me, do not take your mercy away from me. Just as you once accepted two mites from widows, so accept this prayer of mine. Remember, Lord, the soul of Your departed servant (name), forgive him all his sins, voluntary and involuntary, whether in word, or in deed, or in knowledge and ignorance, do not destroy him through his iniquity and do not consign him to eternal torment, but according to Your great mercy and according to the multitude of Thy compassions, weaken and forgive all his sins and commit them with Thy saints, where there is no sickness, no sorrow, no sighing, but endless life. I pray and ask You, Lord, grant that all the days of my life I will not cease to pray for Your departed servant, and even before my departure, ask You, the Judge of all Mipa, for the forgiveness of all his sins and his residence in the heavenly abodes, which You have prepared for those who love Cha. For even if you sin, do not depart from You, and undoubtedly the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are Orthodox even until your last breath of confession; impute to him the same faith, even in You, instead of works: for there is no man who will live and not sin, You are the only one besides sin, and Your righteousness is righteousness forever. I believe, Lord, and confess that You have heard my prayer and have not turned Your face away from me. Seeing a widow weeping green, you were merciful, and you brought her son to the grave, carrying her to the grave; thus, having compassion, calmed down my sorrow. How did You open to Your servant Theophilus, who went to You, the doors of Your mercy and forgave him for his sins through the prayers of Your Holy Church, heeding the prayers and alms of his wife: by strength and I pray to You, accept my prayer for Your servant (name) and lead him into eternal life. For You are our hope, You are God, to have mercy and to save, and to You we ascribe glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Preface

The prayer rule of a layman consists of morning and evening prayers, which are performed daily. This rhythm is necessary, because otherwise the soul easily falls out of the prayer life, as if waking up only from time to time. In prayer, as in any big and difficult matter, inspiration, mood and improvisation are not enough.

There is a complete prayer rule, designed for monks and spiritually experienced lay people, which is printed in Orthodox prayer book.

However, for those who are just beginning to get used to prayer, it is difficult to immediately begin to read the entire rule. Typically, confessors advise starting with several prayers, and then adding one prayer to the rule every 7-10 days, so that the skill of reading the rule is developed gradually and naturally.

In addition, the laity sometimes has situations when there is little time left for prayer, and in this case it is better to read the short rule with attention and reverence than to hastily and superficially, without a prayerful attitude, mechanically read out the full rule.

Thus, by cultivating a reasonable attitude towards the prayer rule, Saint Theophan the Recluse writes to one family person:

“Bless, Lord, and continue prayer according to your rule. But never commit yourself to a rule and think that there is anything valuable in having such a rule or always following it. The whole price is in heartfelt surrender before God. The saints write that if someone does not leave prayer as a condemned man, worthy of all punishment from the Lord, then he leaves it as a Pharisee. Another said: “while standing in prayer, stand as if at the Last Judgment, when God’s decisive decision about you is ready to come: go away or come.”

Formality and mechanism in prayer must be avoided in every possible way. Let this always be a matter of a deliberate, free decision, and make it with consciousness and feeling, and not somehow. In case you need to be able to shorten the rule. Are there many accidents in family life?.. You can, for example, in the morning and evening, when there is no time, read only the morning prayers and those for bedtime as a memory. You can not even read them all, but several at a time. You can not read anything at all, but make a few bows, but with true heartfelt prayer. The rule must be handled with complete freedom. Be the mistress of the rule, not the slave. She is only a servant of God, obligated to devote all the minutes of her life to pleasing Him.”

For such cases there is an established short prayer rule, designed for all believers.

In the morning it includes:

“To the Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Virgin Mother of God”, “Rising from sleep”, “Have mercy on me, O God”, “I Believe”, “God, cleanse”, “To You, Master”, “Holy Angel “,” “Holy Lady,” invocation of saints, prayer for the living and the dead.

In the evening it includes:

“To the Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Have mercy on us, Lord”, “Eternal God”, “Good King”, “Angel of Christ”, from “The Chosen Governor” to “It is worthy to eat”.

Morning prayers

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Initial prayer

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

Lord's Prayer

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.

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Having risen from sleep, I thank Thee, Holy Trinity, for for the sake of Thy goodness and long-suffering, Thou hast not been angry with me, lazy and sinful, nor hast Thou destroyed me with my iniquities; but you usually loved mankind and in the despair of the one who lay down, you raised me up to practice and glorify Your power. And now enlighten my mental eyes, open my lips to learn Thy words, and to understand Thy commandments, and to do Thy will, and to sing to Thee in heartfelt confession, and to sing Thy all-holy name, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages. centuries. Amen.

Come, let us worship our King God. (Bow)
Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. (Bow)
Come, let us bow and fall down to Christ Himself, the King and our God. (Bow)

Psalm 50

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. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, 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.

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.

First prayer of Saint Macarius the Great

God, cleanse me, a sinner, for I have done nothing good before You; but deliver me from the evil one, and may Thy will be done in me, may I open my unworthy lips without condemnation and praise Thy holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages Amen.

Prayer of the same saint

To You, Lord, Lover of Mankind, having risen from sleep, I come running, and I strive for Your works with Your mercy, and I pray to You: help me at all times, in every thing, and deliver me from all worldly evil things and the devil’s haste, and save me, and bring us into Your eternal Kingdom. For You are my Creator and the Provider and Giver of every good thing, and all my hope is in You, and I send up glory to You, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Holy Angel, standing before my accursed soul and my passionate life, do not leave me, a sinner, nor depart from me for my intemperance. Do not give room to the evil demon to possess me through the violence of this mortal body; strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation. To her, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body, forgive me everything, I have offended you so greatly all the days of my life, and if I sinned this past night, cover me on this day, and save me from every opposite temptation May I not anger God in any sin, and pray for me to the Lord, that He may strengthen me in His passion, and show me worthy as a servant of His goodness. Amen.

Glory: Lord, have mercy on us, for we trust in You; Do not be angry with us, do not remember our iniquities, but look upon us now as if you are gracious, and deliver us from our enemies; For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; all works are done by Thy hand, and we call upon Thy name.

And now: Open the doors of mercy to us, blessed Mother of God, who trust in You, so that we may not perish, but may be delivered from troubles by You: for You are the salvation of the Christian race.
Lord have mercy. (12 times)

Prayer 1, St. Macarius the Great, to God the Father

Eternal God and King of every creature, who has made me worthy even at this hour, forgive me the sins I have committed this day in deed, word and thought, and cleanse, O Lord, my humble soul from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. And grant me, Lord, to pass through this dream in peace at night, so that, rising from my humble bed, I will please Your most holy name all the days of my life, and will trample the fleshly and incorporeal enemies that fight me. And deliver me, Lord, from vain thoughts that defile me, and from evil lusts. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Good Mother of the King, Most Pure and Blessed Mother of God Mary, pour out the mercy of Thy Son and our God on my passionate soul and with Thy prayers instruct me in good deeds, so that I may pass through the rest of my life without blemish and through Thee I will find paradise, O Virgin Mother of God, the only Pure One and Blessed One.

Prayer to the Holy Guardian Angel

Angel of Christ, my holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me all who have sinned this day, and deliver me from every wickedness of the enemy who opposes me, so that in no sin I will anger my God; but pray for me, a sinful and unworthy servant, that you may show me worthy of the goodness and mercy of the All-Holy Trinity and the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ and all the saints. Amen.

Kontakion to the Mother of God

To the chosen Voivode, victorious, as having been delivered from the evil ones, let us write thanks to Thy servants, the Mother of God, but as having an invincible power, free us from all troubles, let us call Ti; Rejoice, Unbrided Bride.

Glorious Ever-Virgin, Mother of Christ God, bring our prayer to Your Son and our God, may You save our souls.

I place all my trust in You, Mother of God, keep me under Your roof.

Virgin Mary, do not despise me, a sinner, who requires Your help and Your intercession, for my soul trusts in You, and have mercy on me.

Prayer of Saint Ioannikios

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my protection is the Holy Spirit: Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

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.

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.

* From Easter to Ascension, instead of this prayer, the troparion is read:

“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and giving life to those in the tombs.” (Three times) From Ascension to Trinity, we begin prayers with “Holy God...”, omitting all the preceding ones. This remark also applies to future bedtime prayers.

Throughout Bright Week, instead of this rule, the hours of Holy Easter are read.

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

These remarks also apply to future bedtime prayers.
