Prayer to Matron of Moscow

Introduction. The Life of St. Matrona

Matrona Moscow is one of the most beloved and revered saints not only in Moscow, but also throughout Russia. The prayer of the Matrona of Moscow is considered miraculous. She was born in the poorest peasant family in the Tula province, in 1881. Her real name is Matryona Dmitrievna Nikonova. Mother of the girl, already having three children and being in extreme need, wanted to give the future child to a shelter for the poor. But she had an extraordinary dream, which the woman interpreted as a sign. She saw a white dove, which had a human face and closed eyes. The bird sank to the right hand of the woman and, waking up, she decided that the child would not give it to anyone.

Matrona was born blind. Her eyelids tightly closed the eye cavities. During the christening, a fragrant column of smoke rose over the font of the girl, and the priest Vasily predicted that this child would be a saint. On the girl's chest was a small swelling in the form of a cross, and her whole life was built around prayers and the church. Children mocked her, and she secretly played with the icons. Attended all services in the church. She had an early gift of foreseeing the future and healing. An endless stream of people came to her. She accepted, accepted, and prayed for everyone. During the day she helped people, and at night prayed and dozed.

We can say that the prayer of Matrona Moskovskaya, the divine man, was needed as air. John of Kronstadt called her his successor. At age 17 Matronu suddenly paralyzed. She accepted her illness calmly, it was God's will! Matron predicted the revolution and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. For many years, during the period of persecution of the church, she was forced to wander around other people's apartments in Moscow. Matrona died in 1952 and was buried in the Danilov cemetery. In 2004 she was canonized. Now people visit Pokrovsky Women's Monastery, which is in Moscow, to worship its relics, to offer prayers to Matrona Moskovskaya, in the hope of her intercession. And today there is a lot of evidence that miracles happen in reality.
