Parents take care of their children not from birth, but even until the very moment of conception. After all, all our sins and virtues are a burden or a blessing on the fate of future children.
In the most pious Christian families, parents before the conception should receive the priest's blessing. Before this, one must confess and repent of one's sins (after all, infertility is often punished for the sexual promiscuity of partners). And to do all these manipulations should both the spouse, and not only the woman.
What prayers are read before conception?
Prayer for the conception of the child should be read not only in the temple before the confession or the blessing of the priest, but also at home at any time, and especially before the very moment of conception.
You can often notice in the prayers read before the conception of the child, the words "Thy will be done". This is a demonstration that a person is willing to obediently accept the will of God in his life, and the child is nothing but the will of God.
For the conception of the child, prayers of St. Xenia of St. Petersburg, Mother Matrona, Theotokos, Alexander Svirsky and others are read. Undoubtedly, most often women read prayers about the conception of the child to the Theotokos. The next prayer should be read before the icon "Healer":
"Priimi, O All-Blessed and All-Mighty Lady, Lady of the Virgin, Devout, this sad prayer, with tears You are brought from us, unworthy of Your servants, to Your purposeful image singing sending with affection, Who is Your very being and listening prayer and our supplicant with faith requesting. In accordance with the petition, the execution is done, the grief is facilitated, the sick are made sick by the sick, the sick and weak, healed, from the devil's devils cast off, offended by the troubles, lepers cleansed and small children, even to the Lady Lady of the Mother of God, from freedom and dungeon freedom and all kinds of passion vrachueshi: all the essence is possible by your intercession to your Son, the Christ our God. O, All-pervading Mother, Holy Mother of God! Do not cease to pray for us, unworthy of your servants, glorifying thee and worshiping thee, and worshiping with affection for your pure image, and the hope of those who have it will not return, and the faith that is nesemnennuyu to you, the ever blessed Virgin and the Immaculate, glorifying and honoring thee and crying for ever and ever. Amen".
What days can you conceive a child?
Orthodox prayer for the conception of the child will work, only if you adhere to other Christian rules for conception. The most important rule is the date of conception. In the church calendar there are many dates when sexual acts between spouses are considered sinful:
- during fasting;
- on the eve of major holidays;
- on the eve of fasting days - Wednesday and Friday (the day before it means that you can not have sex from 4 pm Tuesday and Thursday, respectively);
- on Sunday;
- on the day of the wedding.
In Christianity (unlike Islam) one can not make love on the day of the wedding, since the illumination of marriage by a priest is considered a great mystery that can not be defiled.
