Currently faced with surgical interventions a large number of people of different ages: from young to old. When an operation is performed, as a rule, anesthesia (pain relief) is used, and this puts a lot of stress on the heart, which adds fear before any, even simple, surgical intervention. .

Progress does not stand still, and surgical interventions are so easy that a person gets up and goes home within an hour after the manipulations, but, nevertheless, not a single operation takes place without worries.

Orthodox believers, Christians, are sure to seek the blessing of the Lord and the help of God's saints before the operation.

Saint Luke - God's saint, who is known in the church world as a preacher of faith in the Lord God, a confessor, a good shepherd who healed the sick. He was a doctor and treated both physical and mental illnesses.

He managed to combine two difficult lives: being a doctor and an archpastor at the same time. They said that Luke had hands from God, he was a famous surgeon. His medical research and surgical advances shook the world. Entire legends circulated about his healings.

But throughout the entire time of healing, he did not leave the church world. He soon realized that his calling was to be a priest and soon took monastic vows. They began to call him the apostle, evangelist and physician Luke. Afterwards, for a long time he was known as the ruling bishop of the Crimean Orthodox diocese.

It is because of his famous medical and surgical past that Christians pray to him for health after the operation, for the successful completion of the operation and for a speedy recovery.

A prayer appeal to Luke, as to any Holy Saint of God, must be pronounced sincerely, thoughtfully and with faith in the heart.

It is best to purchase one for prayer, and it can even be a small pocket icon. In a church or at home, in complete solitude, a special text of prayer to St. Luke is said. Immediately during the operation, relatives and friends pray for the patient:

“Chosen to the saint of the Orthodox Church and confessor, who has shone forth to our country in the lands of the Crimea, like a shining luminary, having labored well and enduring persecution for the Name of Christ, glorifying the Lord who glorified you, who has given you to us, a new prayer book and helper, we sing praiseworthy songs; But you, who have great boldness towards the Lady of heaven and earth, free us from all mental and physical ailments, and strengthen us well in Orthodoxy, so that we all call to you in tenderness: Rejoice, Holy Hierarch of the Crimea, Confessor Luke, good and merciful physician.”

Doctors respond favorably to the prayers of patients and ask them to pray more. Immediately before the operation, you need to read the prayer to Luke forty times. The greatest effect is achieved if one prays in an Orthodox church, at an icon or the relics of a saint.

Prayer before surgery for a loved one

It is common among people to pray for life, health and healing not only to the person who needs help, but also to all his relatives. By uniting and reciting prayers, all those praying give enormous power to their prayers. After all, when several people pray before an operation for one, the chances of a successful operation increase several times.

Before praying for a successful operation of a loved one or loved one, you need to go to church, light a candle for good health and leave a note for good health. Then, upon returning home, pray again, this time in front of the home images.

After an operation to recover a loved one, you must first thank the Lord God for everything he does, then quietly read the “Our Father,” and then ask for a speedy recovery of the ailing relative.

Prayer during surgery - how to ask correctly

The Orthodox Church says that believers should prepare in advance for upcoming surgical procedures:

• come to the temple to the priest and confess;
• take communion without fail;
• Take a prayer book and an icon of any saint with you to the hospital, and it is important not to hide the icon in a cabinet or under a pillow, but rather place it at the head of the head or on the windowsill.

Before going into anesthesia during an operation, you need to constantly say to yourself: “Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy...”.

Prayer after surgery

While in the hospital, you need to pray for your health both morning and evening, without missing a single day. Immediately after surgery, even the most minor one, you need to ask the Almighty for help in a speedy recovery:

“O Lord, our Creator, I ask for your help, grant complete recovery to God’s servant (name), wash her blood with your rays. Only with Your help will healing come to her. Touch her with miraculous power and bless all her roads to the long-awaited salvation, healing, recovery.

Give her body health, her soul - blessed lightness, her heart - Your divine balm. The pain will forever recede and strength will return to it, the wounds will all heal and Thy holy help will come. Your rays from blue skies They will reach her, give her strong protection, bless her for deliverance from her illnesses, and strengthen her faith. May the Lord hear these words of mine. Glory to You. Amen".

It must be remembered: the older a person is, the more difficult it is for him to endure any operation, and there is nothing left to do but pray to the Lord, asking for help, for the healing of the patient. Don’t be afraid to ask the Lord for help - he is the only one who always helps selflessly.

God bless you!

To avoid any complications, before surgery, read Orthodox prayer, addressed to Saint Luke of Crimea.

My dears, it is possible that you are worried about your child or your closest relative.

What if he doesn’t come out of anesthesia?

The operation always has some risk.

That’s why I try to help you as much as I can – cordially and selflessly.

In advance, before surgery, go to an Orthodox Church and buy six candles.

Place three of them next to the icon of Luke the Crimean.

Putting it on yourself sign of the cross, quietly say these prayer lines.

Saint Luke, bless me/my child/close relative for the operation, so that my health will improve and the name of God will be glorified in our souls. Amen.

Take holy water into a spacious container.

Go back.

About 1-3 days before surgery, retire to a locked room. Light the purchased candles. Place the icon of St. Luke next to it.

Right now, reverently and fervently believe in the Lord God. He will protect you from all troubles and misfortunes.

Don't worry, everything will end well. There will be no complications.

Prayer to Luka Krymsky before a relative’s surgery

Luke of Crimea, Righteous Saint. Heal my sick relative so that the operation is successful and our soul is not tormented. Grant him strength for restoration and Orthodox faith for worthy patience. Get rid of terrible complications and terrible nightmares. Thy will be done. Amen.

Prayer to Luka Krymsky before the child’s operation

Saint Luke of Crimea. Help my child go through surgery, improve his health, accept and love the Lord God. Protect him from complications so that the wounds heal and his strength returns. Protect him from medical errors and deplorable suffering. Thy will be done. Amen.

If you personally have to “go under the knife,” slowly read this prayer.

Righteous Saint Luke. Bless me for the hospital operation and send down from Heaven boundless faith. Intercede before me in an alarming hour, when the surgeon is overcome by doubts, give him healing insight. I pray to you for the spiritual strength that is contained in the church water. Thy will be done. Amen.

There are few people who have never experienced surgery in their lives. These can be both children and adults. Any operation, even the most common one, is associated with risk. Using anesthesia is also quite dangerous and has a bad effect on health. Therefore, it is not surprising that even unbaptized people read prayers before surgery - as they say, there are no unbelievers in hospitals.

Prayer before surgery for Luka Krymsky

It is customary for Orthodox Christians to ask for heavenly help before every task. This is especially appropriate when surgery is planned. Even if it is short-lived, under local anesthesia, there is still fear and anxiety. After all, you cannot be 100% sure of a successful outcome. Very often before an operation they pray to Luka Krymsky. Who is he? This is a great beacon of faith, at the same time - a doctor from God who has saved many thousands of lives.

His fate was not easy - the loss of his beloved wife, persecution from the authorities, arrest, exile, many years in the camps. But everywhere the righteous man continued to serve God, performed operations, did not stop and scientific work. He appeared to many after his departure - he saved people from illness, performed operations on adults and children. Nowadays, prayers to the saint also do not subside. Not everyone has the opportunity to venerate his relics, but it is quite enough to pray in front of the image and bring it to the chamber

Before surgery you can:

• order prayers in the temple (Sorokoust, Psalter, prayer service to the saint);
• invite a priest or go to confession on your own, if your health allows;
• start Communion on the eve of an important event.

You should take a prayer book to the hospital. Read the canons of repentance, Psalms, prayers to beloved saints. It is important to establish peace in your soul and forgive everyone who has offended you. Immediately before the operation, briefly pray again to St. Luke - in your own words. It is not at all necessary to read a certain number of times - this is already witchcraft. The appeal to the saint should not be mechanical, but deeply personal. Quantity does not matter here, only the strength of a person’s faith is important.

And here is the text of the prayer before the start of the operation to Saint Luke of Crimea

O all-blessed confessor, holy saint, our Father Luke, great servant of Christ! With tenderness, we bow the knee of our hearts, and falling to the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like the children of our father, we pray to you with all diligence: hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the merciful and philanthropic God, to whom you now stand in the joy of the saints and with the faces of an angel. We believe that you love us with the same love with which you loved all your neighbors while you were on earth.

Ask Christ our God: may He strengthen His holiness More Orthodox Church may the spirit of right faith and piety give its shepherds holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them: to observe the right of the believer, to strengthen the weak and infirm in the faith, to instruct the ignorant, and to reprove the contrary. Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation. Strengthening our cities, fruitful lands, deliverance from famine and destruction. Comfort for those who are grieving, healing for those who are ill, return to the path of truth for those who have lost their way, blessing from a parent, education and teaching for a child in the Passion of the Lord, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy. Grant us all your archpastoral and holy blessing, so that through you we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms.

Grant us God-pleasing passage through the field of temporary life, guide us on the path leading to the villages of the righteous, deliver us from airy ordeals and pray for us to the all-powerful God: that in eternal life with you we may unceasingly glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, to Him belongs all glory and honor. and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

When relatives are sick - who to pray to?

Diseases affect the whole family; relatives must pray before the operation of a loved one. The person himself may be overwhelmed by fear, but the support of loved ones can encourage and support. It is not for nothing that many people feel that strength suddenly comes to them. Their source is the power of God; it’s just that a person is praying for you, who loves you very much, cares, and puts his whole soul into his words.

At such moments, the feeling of helplessness must recede, you must gather together all your faith and fortitude. Prayer before a child’s surgery is especially powerful. Children enjoy the special care of heaven, because they have pure souls, capable of still seeing and hearing God. Therefore, they can recover very quickly and again feel all the joy of life.

You should pray for your child Mother of God. It doesn't matter how this is done. Choose your favorite - the Queen of Heaven is alone. It’s good to read akathists, one a day. You also need to give alms. You can and should tell everyone you know at the temple to pray, especially during the operation. Collective prayer truly works miracles.

On the appointed day, you need to have a good rest and not torment yourself. You shouldn't think about bad things. Remember how great God is, calmly surrender into His hands. It is important to prepare your soul - let go of all negativity, wish everyone peace and goodness. Before the operation, pray to the Guardian Angel, the Mother of God, and the Lord.

There are short canonical appeals (Virgin Mary, Rejoice; Jesus Prayer) - repeat them to yourself. Questionable texts such as the “dreams of the Virgin Mary” should be avoided because they are rejected by the Church. These are not prayers, but a meaningless set of words; is it worth wasting energy on them? May God's blessing be with you!

Prayer to God before surgery

Master Almighty, holy King, punish and do not kill, strengthen those who fall and raise up those who are cast down, correct people’s bodily afflictions, we pray to Thee, our God, thy servant (name), who is weak, visit with Thy mercy. Forgive him for every sin, voluntary and involuntary.

To her, Lord, Thy healing power was sent down from heaven, to guide the mind and hand of Thy servant, the doctor (name), and to carry out the necessary surgery safely, so that the bodily ailment of Thy servant (name) would be completely healed, and every hostile invasion would be driven far away from him. . Raise him from his sick bed, and grant him health in soul and body, pleasing and doing Your will.

For it is Yours to have mercy and save us, our God, and to You we send glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. AMEN.
