Children start by loving their parents. Then they judge them.

And they almost never forgive them.

How can a mother not worry about her children? For every scratch, every bruise, every fall? They have abrasions on their knees, and their mother has wounds in her heart.
Natalia Kalinina

Having an ungrateful child!

Deliver them from all the snares of the enemy, keep them in the faith of Christ and purity throughout their lives, so that they may be strong in mind and in fulfilling Your commandments, and so those who are taught will glorify Your Most Holy Name and be heirs of Your Kingdom, for You are God, strong in mercy and good in strength, and all glory, honor and worship is due to You, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

O great apostle, loud-voiced evangelist, most graceful theologian, master of secrets of incomprehensible revelations, virgin and beloved confidant of Christ John, accept with your characteristic mercy us sinners (names), who come running under your strong intercession and protection! Ask the All-Bountiful Lover of Mankind, Christ and our God, Who, before your eyes, poured out His most precious blood for us, His indecent servants, may He not remember our iniquities, but may He have mercy on us, and may He deal with us according to His mercy; May He grant us mental and physical health, all prosperity and abundance, teaching us to turn all of it into the glory of Him, the Creator, Savior and our God. At the end of our temporary life, may we, holy apostle, escape the merciless tortures that await us in the airy ordeals, but may we, under your guidance and protection, reach the Mountain of Jerusalem, whose glory you have seen in revelation, and now enjoy these joys promised to the chosen ones God's. Oh, great John, save all Christian cities and countries, this whole, this temple, dedicated to your holy name, serving and praying in it, from famine, destruction, cowardice and flood, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare, deliver from all kinds of troubles and misfortunes, and with your prayers turn away the righteous wrath of God from us, and ask us for His mercy; Oh, great and incomprehensible God, Alpha and Omega, the source and object of our faith! Behold, for Your supplication we offer Saint John, whom You have made worthy to know You, the inscrutable God, in ineffable revelation. Accept his intercession for us, grant us the fulfillment of our petitions, for Your glory: and above all, make us spiritual perfection, to the enjoyment of endless life in Your Heavenly abodes. Oh, Heavenly Father, created all the Lord, the Soul of spirits, the Almighty King! Touch our hearts with Your finger, and they, melting like wax, will be shed before You, and mortal spiritual creation will be created, in honor and glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Saint John Chrysostom

Oh, great saint John Chrysostom! You have received many and varied gifts from the Lord, and as a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this reason, you were truly a universal teacher, as every age and every rank learns from you. Behold, you appeared as an image of obedience to the youth, a luminary of chastity to the young, a mentor of hard work to the husband, a teacher of kindness to the old, a teacher of kindness to the monk, a rule of abstinence to those who pray, an inspired leader from God to those who pray, an enlightener of the mind to those who seek wisdom, to those who are kind-hearted, words are an inexhaustible living source, to those who do good. - the star of mercy, the ruler - the image of the wise, the zealot of truth - the inspirer of boldness, the righteousness for the sake of the persecuted - the mentor of patience: you were everything to everyone, and you saved everyone.

We are sinners, we each have our own talent, we are not imams of unity of spirit in the union of peace, but we are vainglorious, irritating each other, envious of each other: for this reason, our division, divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation, has turned over to us. Moreover, we fall to you, the saint of God, servants of God (names), overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: with your prayers drive away from our hearts all pride and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, so that In the words of your prayer, let us love each other and with one mind confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Consubstantial and Indivisible, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

For a believing woman, motherhood has a slightly different meaning. A Christian mother is called to raise children in moral purity and teach them about God. Also, for Orthodox parents, it is normal for the mother and father to pray for their children. For them, it is like an invisible shield that can protect them from various troubles. Let's look at the most powerful prayers of mothers for their children.


Attitude towards motherhood

God has care for every soul. He intends for everyone, without exception, his own special path. Therefore, parents should not impose their own preferences on their child. They should respect the small personality from the very beginning. Their main task is to take care of morality and instill useful skills. They are necessary in order to keep the soul from evil when a small person becomes big.

When going to church, parents should take their children with them. Raising a worthy Christian is much more important than all other concerns. It doesn’t matter who the child becomes - what matters is his inner life. A prerequisite for this is the mother’s prayer for the children - it must be constant. Many holy fathers insist on this.


Mother's prayer for a child

“Lord Jesus Christ, awaken Thy mercy on my child (name), keep him under Thy roof, cover him from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary, open his ears and the eyes of his heart, grant tenderness and humility to their hearts. Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my child (name) and turn him to repentance. Save, O Lord, and have mercy on my child (name), and enlighten his mind with the light of the mind of Your Gospel, and guide him on the path of Your commandments, and teach him, O Savior, to do Your will, for You are our God.”


Mother's prayer if children are sick

“O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the Undivided Trinity, look upon Thy servant (her) (name of the child) who is overcome by illness; forgive him (her) all his (her) sins; grant him (her) healing from illness; return him (her) health and bodily strength; Give him (her) a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and most worldly blessings, so that he (she) together with us brings grateful prayers to You, the All-Bounteous God and my Creator. Most Holy Theotokos, through Your omnipotent intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of God’s servant (name). All saints and Angels of the Lord, pray to God for His sick servant (name). Amen."

Heavenly Father

God does not send children in vain. Parents are given power over them, as is repeatedly stated in the Holy Scriptures; even one of the commandments commands to honor father and mother. But they should not abuse their influence and demand obedience no matter what. Father and mother must themselves be accountable to their common Father, the Lord.

Children see everything perfectly well, so you cannot demand from them what is not fulfilled by the elders in the family. A smoking father cannot demand that his son quit smoking. Because his behavior speaks of neglect of his duties to build a temple of God from the body.

Model of an Orthodox mother

Only humility before God can make a mother’s prayer for her children strong. And if she screams, criticizes her husband, gets irritated over every little thing - it is unlikely that such a person will inspire respect in the child.

Going to church and Sunday school is wonderful. But a child, as the closest person, even if small, is capable of perceiving the smallest movements of the soul. And the mother’s heart should be for him a window into the kingdom of heaven. Through her spiritual world, he begins to build his own. A pious mother teaches her child from an early age:

  • make the sign of the cross,
  • venerate icons
  • pray briefly.

It is such a mother who will have very strong prayers for her children. History knows examples of how requests to God saved lives and pulled people out from the very bottom of the moral abyss. Christians owe this to the special relationship of Christ to His earthly Mother.

Cross of the Virgin Mary

When people remember Saint Mary, they think about the honor God showed her. But does it often occur to anyone how difficult it was for her as a woman? To endure, to give birth to a Son, and then to give him up to be torn to pieces, to watch the torment and death of your only child? This is who you need to ask for patience when it seems that your strength is running out.

Prayers for children to the Mother of God can be read before any image:

  • ask them for health;
  • assistance with studies;
  • maintaining moral purity.

In such cases, the holy fathers do not limit the frequency of prayers - after all, the heart cannot be commanded to love less. Namely, love and worries about the eternal fate of their soulmate motivate mothers to perform feats of prayer.

In Christianity, family is highly valued; the relationship between parents and children is an important part of education. Orthodox fathers wrote many special prayers that a mother should read for her children.

Christian Parenting

From the very first days of life, it is necessary to bring the baby to church and not remove the cross from him. There has never been a case where the ribbon did any harm. It is advisable to have fast days on Wednesdays and Fridays after 2 years. And it’s good for health, as doctors say today. Plant foods cleanse the body and allow it to take a break from the stress that heavy foods with animal fats create.

  • Give communion to children regularly.
  • At home, read prayers out loud, the Holy Scriptures - even if the baby does not understand the words, they will still have their beneficial effect.
  • On an empty stomach, give holy water, a piece of blessed bread or prosphora.
  • Bring the baby for blessing in the temple, apply it to the Cross.

You just shouldn’t make the mistake of putting into the child’s mind the image of a formidable God who seeks to punish for the slightest offense. This will not cause love, but rather disappointment and longing for the Creator, Who loves and forgives.

Children of primary school age are able to perceive the Gospel texts naturally. They are surprised not so much by miracles as by the behavior of Christ, His love and self-sacrifice.

You should not force small children to cram prayers. It is better to explain that God hears everything, and in the morning you need to say hello to Him, in the evening you need to say goodbye. Let the child turn to Jesus in his own words, over time he will learn church texts. The main thing here is not to discourage the desire to understand this issue.

If a pious atmosphere reigns in the house, the mother’s prayer constantly sounds, the child naturally perceives it with all his heart, this is an excellent foundation for the future.
