Results of the Golden Pen of Rus' competition. International literary competition “Golden Pen of Rus'” announced

New Year- the most long-awaited and desired holiday for billions of people. It is with this day that hopes for the future are pinned, wanting to leave behind all the sorrows and failures in the past year. On this day, millions of people make wishes and turn to God with prayers. Individual prayers merge into a single powerful stream of energy directed into the heavens, which is why New Year's Eve considered the most magical night of the year.

When to make wishes and read prayers?

With desires, everything is traditional and simple. In Russia, it is customary to make a secret wish during the striking of the Kremlin chimes in a noisy company. This approach to prayer is unacceptable.

Prayer addressed to higher powers requires sincerity, concentration and solitude. The best time for prayer is New Year's Eve itself. You can pray a couple of hours before midnight, at midnight and later, right up to “the first rooster,” i.e. until 4 o'clock in the morning. In prayer, not only time is important, but also place. If it is not possible to pray in a temple or in front of images, you can go outside and raise your face to heaven to talk to God.

Prayers addressed to God when celebrating the first day of the new year have enormous power. Having woken up and washed your face on January 1, before the meal you need to retire, put your thoughts in order and pray to the Lord from a pure heart.

No matter what time a person begins the New Year's prayer, higher power They will definitely hear her and will certainly help.

What prayers should you read for the New Year?

On New Year's Eve, you can turn to God with any prayers. The only condition is that prayer must come from the heart.

Merciful Nicholas the Wonderworker, protector of the disadvantaged and mourning. I pray for forgiveness of my sins. Do not judge my thoughts about bright love, calm my soul, dry my tears. My feelings are sincere, my cherished desire. Pray to our Lord for me, if he condemns my love, I will not be forcefully sweet, I will retreat. Thy will be done. Amen!

Prayers to heavenly patrons also intensify on New Year's Day. The prayer books contain prayers to the guardian angels, prayers to the patronizing saints. Learn a prayer that suits you a few days before the holiday and read it on New Year's Eve.

Prayers for the old new year

In Russia, the New Year is celebrated twice: on the 1st and on the 13th of January. This is explained by the discrepancy between the Julian and Gregorian calendars; according to the old style, it is the night from January 13th to 14th that is New Year's, hence the name Old New Year.

For churchgoers, the night of the Old New Year marks the end of the Nativity Fast and the beginning of the celebration. The prayers offered to the Lord are the same as on secular New Year's Eve, and the conditions for reading them are similar. Distinctive feature is thanksgiving prayer before starting the meal.

For ordinary believers, the old New Year is an opportunity to once again turn to God with their prayers. Perhaps on New Year's Eve, January 1, there was no opportunity to be alone; the night from January 13 to 14 provides such an opportunity. The power of prayer on this day has miraculous power no less, and perhaps more, than on New Year's Eve. After all, it is read on Christmas week, the most mystical and magical week of the year.

Prayers for the New Year

First prayer

Lord God, of all visible and invisible creatures, Creator and Creator, who created times and years, Himself bless the New Year that begins today, which we count from Your incarnation for our salvation.

Raise, preserve and glorify our Fatherland; give us long life, health, abundance of earthly fruits and goodness of the air; save me, Your sinful servant, all my relatives and neighbors and all faithful Christians, as our true Supreme Shepherd, protect and establish me on the path of salvation, so that we, following it after a long and prosperous life in this world, reach Your Heavenly Kingdom and were worthy of eternal bliss with Thy saints.

Second prayer

Sovereign Lord our God, Source of life and immortality, all creatures, visible and invisible, to the Creator, who set times and years in Your power, and rule all things by Your wise and good Providence. We give thanks for Your bounties, even as You surprised us in the past time of our lives; we pray to You, All-Bountiful Lord, bless the crown of the coming summer with Your goodness. Grant Thy goodness from above to all Thy people, health and salvation, and good haste in everything. Deliver Thy Holy Church, this city and all cities and countries from every evil situation, grant them peace and tranquility; To You, the Beginning Father, with Your Only Begotten Son, Your All-Holy and Life-Giving Spirit, in the One Being, the Glorified God, always bring thanksgiving, and the Most Holy Your name chant and make you worthy.
Glory to Thee, God, our Benefactor, forever and ever.

TO FULFILL YOUR WISH

A few minutes before the onset of the old New Year (on the night of January 13th to 14th), in your own words, as it happens, ask the Lord God for health and success. Next, at exactly midnight, light seven church candles and read the prayer seven times "Our Father" and then this prayer:

“Lord, Jesus Christ the Son of God. For You have spoken with Your most pure lips: Amen, I say to you, the land of every thing, if you ask for it, you will have it from My Father. Like in heaven: where two or three are gathered in My name, there are seven. Among them, Thy words are invincible, O Lord, Thy mercy is unconditional and Thy love for mankind has no end. For this reason we pray to Thee; Grant to us, Your servants (list names), who agreed to ask You (to briefly state the request), the fulfillment of our request. But not as we want, but like you. May Your will be done forever and ever. Amen".

The candles should burn out completely.

RITE FOR MONEY

Held only on Old New Year.
Melt the candle wax and make a small cake out of it. Write your name on one side and your code number on the other.
This number is obtained by adding all the digits of your birth date. For example, you were born on March 6, 1981. We add up all the constituent numbers: 6 (date of birth) + 3 (month of birth) + 1+9+8+1 (year of birth). The result is the number 1, which will be your code number.
Then cover the wax cake with coins, which had to be carried with you for a day.
Keep this amulet in the place where money is stored: safe, closet, wallet.

FOR RECEIVING MONEY

Send 2 envelopes with money, find out the address of one to the church in advance, send the money to yourself in the second, any amount. This is done on New Year's or Old New Year's Day on December 31st or January 13th. You will have money “born” out of nothing. Those who sent money, say the Lord’s words:

“To whom the church is not a mother, God is not a father.”

SO THAT YOU DON'T BE PICKED UP AT WORK

On Old New Year's Eve, come to work before everyone else and read:

“Just as the teeth of the dead do not bite, and the tongues do not curse,
How they don’t rush in anger, don’t wave their hands at the living,
They don't knock their feet, they don't shout at me,
So that not one person forever and ever -
Neither the senior in rank, nor the junior, nor the one who believes
Neither the one who sweeps, nor the one who sits in a chair -
Let him not look strictly at my face, let him not scold me.
That's how I read it, how I said everything,
This is how it should be and my curse cannot be reversed.
Amen. Amen. Amen"

PRAYER

“Lord God, Creator and Creator of all visible and invisible creatures, Who created times and years, Himself bless the New Year that begins today, which we count from Your incarnation for our salvation. Let us spend this year and many years after it in peace and harmony with our neighbors; Strengthen and spread the Holy Universal Church, which You Yourself founded in Jerusalem, and sanctified with the saving sacrifice of the Holy Body and the Most Pure Blood. Raise our Fatherland, preserve it in peace, and glorify it; give us long life, health, abundance of earthly fruits and good air; save me (name) of Your sinful servant, all my relatives (their names), and my neighbors and all faithful Christians, as our true Supreme Shepherd, protect and establish me on the path of salvation, so that we, following it after a long and prosperous life in this world, have reached Your Heavenly Kingdom and have been rewarded with eternal bliss with Your saints. Amen".

FOR SEPARATION OF HUSBAND WITH RIVAL

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I won’t open the door, I won’t remove the hook,
I won’t unlock the latch,
I won’t open the curtains, I won’t open the window,
I'll come out with gray smoke through the chimney.
There is an unclean hut in an unclean field.
It stands not on poles, but on chicken legs.
There is a cold stove in the hut,
On that stove, on the devil's horns,
A dog and a cat are sitting.
They sit, fumble and scratch.
How they fumble and scratch among themselves,
They spit, they don’t give into each other’s hands,
So that (names) fight, spit,
We were not given into each other's hands,
Day and night and all sorts of names,
They spat, coughed and hated.
What word did I not say?
What word didn’t you say?
The dog will bark, the cat will finish screaming
And he will bless them for their separation.
Key, lock, tongue. Amen. Amen. Amen.

TO ATTRACT LOVE INTO YOUR LIFE

On the night of January 13-14 at 10-11 p.m., sit at the table in clean, preferably new clothes, with your hair down. Tie three candles - red, white and gold - together into a bundle with red thread (measure the length of the thread three times, wrapping the thread around your left wrist). Place the candles in a glass (ideally a crystal one, but if not, any glass) with water, on a round mirror, light it and say until the candles go out:

“Power of fire, turn your betrothed’s love towards me. Let his love be hot like a flame, clear like water and deep like a mirror. When the flame reaches the water, my labors will be crowned with success. My word is strong."
Within a month after the ceremony you will meet your man. That is, on Valentine's Day - February 14th you will no longer have to give hearts to your virtual lover.

Of course, if before performing the ceremony you were able to forgive all your exes with whom you are still offended, let them go, let go of all fears and doubts, complexes about your loneliness. And everything will work out.
The ritual is valid only once a year - on Old New Year.
