About what the saint helps with, how to properly address her with prayer and which texts to use — all the details are in the Izvestia material.

What does Saint Matrona help with?

Shortly before her death in 1952, Matrona said: "Everyone, everyone, come to me and tell me, as if alive, about your sorrows, I will see you, and hear you, and help you." Today, these words of the saint have become the motto for millions of Orthodox Christians who turn to her for help in a variety of life situations.

There is no mandatory list in which cases Matrona helps. During her lifetime, people came to her with the usual troubles: a serious illness, her husband's departure from the family, unhappy love, loss of work. People addressed everyday needs and questions — whether to change their place of residence or service, how to cope with financial difficulties. There were no fewer sick people who were obsessed with various ailments, and Matronushka did not refuse anyone.

As believers testify, St. Blessed Matrona of Moscow helps in a variety of troubles and sorrows.:

• Healing from diseases, including severe and chronic

• Financial difficulties and problems with employment

• Family preservation and resolution of family conflicts

• Caring for children and their well-being

• Conception and birth of children among childless couples

• Strengthening faith and spiritual support

Matrona prays for the conception and birth of children. There are many cases when, after the diligent prayer of the spouses, a long-awaited pregnancy occurred. In the Pokrovsky Monastery in Moscow, near the miraculous icon of St. Matrona, you can always see pregnant women, girls with strollers, or young parents with children who come to thank Mother for the miracle.

Many believers say that Matrona very soon responds to prayers uttered sincerely and with faith. She is a prayer book for our souls and a speedy helper in any sorrows. Matronushka strengthens everyone who turns to her for help in faith, teaches them to trust the Lord and rely on His will.

Rules of sincere prayer to Matrona

The main condition for receiving help from a saint is sincerity of conversion and deep faith. Archpriest Maxim Kozlov emphasizes that one can prayerfully address St. Blessed Matrona, just like any other saint of the Orthodox Church. At the same time, it is important to remember that first of all it is necessary to turn in prayers to the Savior and the Most Holy Theotokos.

You can contact St. Matrona anywhere — in the city where you live, in the temple you go to, and at home. The saints can hear us anywhere, so it is not necessary to go to Moscow to visit the relics, although pilgrimage is an ancient and pious custom. If the circumstances of life allow you to visit the Mother See and the Pokrovsky Monastery, venerating the relics of Blessed Matrona is a good deed.

There is a tradition to bring fresh flowers to the blessed Matrona. The chapel, where there is a shrine with the relics of the saint in the Pokrovsky Monastery, is always surrounded by bouquets. The offering of some becomes a gift for others — each attendant who comes to Matronushka is given one or more flowers at parting. The flowers consecrated on the relics are usually dried and stored at home near the icons.

Important rules for addressing a saint:

1. You need to pray with a pure heart, without evil thoughts and self-interest.

2. You can use both traditional prayer texts and your own words.

3. It is necessary to believe in the power of prayer and God's help.

4. After receiving help, you should thank the saint.

5. You can contact Matrona every day, at any time of the day.

Many pilgrims note that you can not read a prayer from a piece of paper, but simply address Matrona of Moscow in your own words. The main thing is to speak from the heart, to tell about your sorrows.
