Every saint is an intermediary between man and God. All of them lived a human life, during which they prayed to God about the needs of people, asked them for health, happiness, awareness, and, of course, getting rid of the devil. Contrary to the entrenched opinion, miracles were done not by them, but by God at their request. And the Saints knew how to reach God by praying with the mouth of the righteous. After all, God hears, above all, those who lead a God-pleasing way of life .
At the same time, each of them has its own "specialization". Someone all his life helped childless women to find children, helped to get rid of the crown of celibacy, others prayed to God about health and healing, or about the forgiveness of those who, because of their sinfulness, base feelings, attachments, lost their reason.
Patron of students
Sergius of Radonezh, first of all, the patron of students. Being a boy, he, like the brothers, was sent to school to study literacy. However, Bartholomew (the name given to him at birth), although he tried, but could not comprehend the letters. He was punished and ridiculed.
And now you will understand why the prayer to St. Sergius of Radonezh is read by those to whom exams are due.
Somehow the boy was sent to the forest to search for the stalled stallions. On the way, he met an old man who asked what he wanted. Sergius asked God's help to learn the letter. The elder prayed for the boy, and then met with his parents. Together with Sergius they went to the chapel, where the elder ordered him to read the scripture. Sergius rejected the inability, but the elder ordered. The boy read like no other - without interference and hesitation.
The old man told his parents that now Bartholomew knows the letter of the Holy Scripture.
Prayer to Sergius of Radonezh is usually read before the exams or in the case of children who are not showing any success in their studies. Everyone who says the words of prayer should remember how the Holy, being a boy, received the blessing to read and write. And everyone hopes that God will bless for successful study.
Prayer for health
Since childhood, Bartholomew has led an ascetic life. He did not eat anything on Wednesdays and Fridays, but on other days he ate only bread and water. At night the boy was awake and reading prayers, which worried a caring mother - the child does not eat or sleep.
When the parents died, Bartholomew and his brother went into solitude in the forest, where they founded a church in the name of the Holy Trinity. It was the first church founded by Sergius of Radonezh.
His brother could not stand asceticism, and Sergius was alone with himself. Soon (at age 23) he was tonsured as a monk. Gradually monks began to flow to him and together they formed a monastery, which later became the Trinity-Sergius Monastery.
Sergius blessed the princes for military campaigns, healed people and never received gifts from anyone.
Today, when the power of Sergius of Radonezh became well-known, he is prayed for health in cases when both doctors and, seemingly, God, do not take on the patient. Prayer to St. Sergius of Radonezh has a miraculous power, because the righteous, who became them as a child, are not so many in the world.
In addition, the Saints, as before in life, pray for the preservation of the life of soldiers on the battlefield. After all, in due time he blessed not only soldiers, but even princes.
