This prayer is recommended to ascetics of piety for daily reading. The elder wrote: “The power of these prayers lies in concealment from the hearing and gaze of people, in its secret action.”

Prayer shield “Protection of the house through monastic prayer.

It is the most powerful weapon against evil spirits. Therefore, it is necessary to use prayer very carefully and carefully.

The "Prayer of Detention" has a significant similarity with canonical (church) prayers. However, many Orthodox authors are critical of it. They point out that the Detention Prayer includes petitions, contrary to the commandments The Gospels also draw attention to the dubious origin of this prayer.

Prayer to Almighty God

Merciful God, help us, Your helpless creatures, and inspire us with boundless devotion, unrequited obedience to Your will. No matter how cruel our sufferings are, grant us, Lord, the strength and ability to be comforted by the hope of Your protection and help, the confidence in Your nearness.

Everything is possible for you, Lord! There is no such grief, no such misfortune from which You could not save us. There is no such evil that You could not overcome for the benefit of our souls.

Teach us, Lord, to humbly endure all the trials, all the calamities with which You are pleased to visit us. Save our souls from despair and despondency. Let us always remember and not forget that You are close to us, that we are dear to You, that You are always ready to have mercy and save us. Amen.

Answer:

The “Prayer of Detention” is attributed to origin from a collection of prayers compiled by Athos elder Pansofiy in 1848. She received this name from her petitions, in which the author asks God and the saints " delay and slow down all the evil intentions of various ill-wishers towards the reader. Although this prayer has some similarities with canonical church prayers, but in essence, it is apocryphal, and includes elements of a magical worldview, popular beliefs and superstition. Her petitions come into conflict with the commandments of the Gospel and the ascetic experience of the Saints. This “prayer” was rejected by the Review Commission of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as “recommended” for publication in the “Full Orthodox prayer book for every need”, publishing house of the Pochaev Lavra. Therefore, reading the "Prayer of Detention" by Orthodox Christians cannot be considered useful. But, in order not to be unfounded, I will offer some of its elements for analysis.

The prayer cannot in any way be composed in the 19th century, since it contains a mixture of Church Slavonic and Russian language styles: “And now delay and slow down until good time all the plans around those standing by me about my relocation, dismissal; all our good undertakings and desires; destroy the inhabitants of that village,where did you live » . In prayer petitions, the vocative case is used: “ God; Lady; Archangel Michael", then nominative: " reverend great Hellius; Blessed Lawrence".

In the text of the "Prayer of Detention" there are phrases, the meaning of which is obscure: delay and slow down until good time all the plans around me about my displacement, dismissal, displacement, exile; now stop all the plans of my enemies, who want to drive me out of this city and destroy my name. It is not clear here why the plans of enemies to destroy a person or exile him need only be suspended and delayed. before the time rather than completely destroy. Elsewhere it is said that the evil desires and demands of all who condemn needs to be destroyed. This inconsistency may indicate that the text of the prayer was hastily compiled. The petitions themselves, such as fear layoffs from work, expulsions from hail and safety concerns this house, all who dwell in it, and all its possessions, cannot meet the needs of a 19th century Mount Athos monk. Here on the face of a clear modern careless "remake".

In the text of the prayer there is not a word about repentance, not a single petition for deliverance from sins. On the contrary, the author is sure of his "righteousness". As St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) pointed out, true prayer is possible only among those Christians whose hearts are filled with a sense of repentance. Prayer must come “from a heart filled with poverty of spirit; from a contrite and humble heart." If repentance is not placed at the foundation of prayer, if it has not become “the soul and goal of prayer,” then the one who prays is in danger of being deluded.

The “Prayer of Detention” is composed on behalf of a person who considers himself surrounded on all sides by enemies, not only invisible, but also visible. Enemies condemn his, slander, slander, roar, blaspheme, humiliate and despise his. standing around hatch ideas about relocation, dismissal, displacement praying. Moreover, the enemies want drive out his from this city and destroy. The author of the prayer expresses the following attitude towards his ill-wishers: The evil desires and demands of all who condemn must be destroyed mouths and hearts of all those who slander, spiteful, roar, blaspheme and humiliate- are barricaded. Enemies can't even be allowed come closer to this house, despising need to keep behind the fence of the house. The subject of prayer asks the Lord: bring spiritual blindness to the eyes of all those who rise up against me and my enemies. Thus, the "Prayer of Detention" contains a wish for evil to enemies. Thus, it conflicts with the commandment of Christ the Savior: “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who offend you and persecute you” (Matt. 5:44). St. John Chrysostom pointed out: “When we ask for something anything against enemies, then not only will we not be heard, but we will offend God.” The Lord “says: “Forgive your debtors” (see: Mt. 6:12), and you call Him Himself, who commands you to forgive, against your enemies. What could be worse than such madness?.. How can you get the forgiveness of your own sins when you ask God to punish the sins of others?

In the "Prayer of Detention" the spirit of vindictiveness reigns. Truly, church prayers are permeated with the spirit of love. Thus, the Church has given us the prayers “On the multiplication of love and the eradication of hatred and all malice” and “On those who hate and offend us.” And, of course, they do not contain misanthropic requests for guidance spiritual blindness in the eyes of enemies.

The Christian must strive for the total surrender of his life to the will of God. Saint Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) wrote: “We must travel with Christ, suffer with Him, endure crucifixion, taste death, be buried, rise again and ascend. This is what I wish for you and for myself: why I pronounce together with you this true prayer of consolation, full of spiritual intelligence: “Lord! Do Thy will over us and grant us to think, feel, and act according to Thy will. We ask You for this one thing, in this one we conclude all our desires and prayers. As St. Theophan the Recluse noted, with a lack of obedience to the will of God, “prayer will have the following meaning: like it or not, Lord, but give; or according to the saying "Take it out and put it in." It is precisely the lack of submission to the will of God that is felt in the Prayer of Detention. The subject of prayer is alien to surrendering himself to the will of God, but he considers himself entitled to ask for the fulfillment of desires: and may all our good undertakings and desires be fulfilled. But among these desires there are not pious at all ( bring spiritual blindness to the eyes of all who rise up against me and my enemies). It is not the salvation of the soul that occupies the attention of the subject of the “Prayer of Detention”, but worldly cares: concern for the safety of property ( property in the terminology of the "Prayer of Detention"), the desire to defend one's well-being and "legitimate" place in life in the fight against "enemies". The Savior said: “What is the use of a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26).

Among the people, the “Prayer of Detention” is perceived as a “prayer from corruption”, that is, as protection from harmful witchcraft. The word “spoilage” itself is not in the text of the “Prayer of Detention”. But, as far as one can understand, it is harmful witchcraft that is meant in prayer under demonic charms, aimed at annoy the subject of prayer and destroy him and property his. And you, in all the glory of the land of Russia, develop by the power of your prayers for me all the demonic charms, all the devil's plans and intrigues - to annoy me and destroy my name and property. “The Church does not believe that a person can be corrupted. Man can only spoil himself. If he lives a life of sin, if he commits mortal sins, if he does not fight his bad habits, he can spoil himself and ruin the lives of the people around him, ”said the Metropolitan Volokolamsky Hilarion(Alfeev).

The text of the “Prayer of Detention” is usually preceded by remarks that it should be read in “concealment from the hearing and gaze of the people”, and also “only with the blessing of the confessor”. Such notes should give the reader the idea that this is a "strong" prayer. The division of prayers into “strong” and “weak” is nothing more than an expression of a magical worldview, suggesting that in the supersensible world there is a certain “power” that can be subdued. One of the "instruments of influence" on supernatural forces is a sacred text. Magical perception endows the sacred text with the ability to "automatic" action, similar to that expected from an amulet or any magical rite. Christianity, on the other hand, understands prayer as an appeal to the free will of the Divine, as a petition for God's mercy. The prayer text is “not magic words, the correct reproduction of which gives a guaranteed result. This is a petition, a cry that can be heard, and can be rejected by the One to whom it is addressed, that is, by God. So a wise parent, hearing the cry of a child, does not necessarily immediately fulfill any of his requests ... ”, one of the teachers of the Church instructs. Therefore, the "power" of prayer lies not in words and not in "concealment from the hearing and gaze of the people." St. Theophan the Recluse wrote: “The strength is not in the words of prayer, but in the spiritual mood - the fear of God and in devotion to God, and in the constant attention to God, and in the intellectual standing up to Him.”

The purpose of the "Prayer of Detention" is to create a magical "protection", a barrier to the actions of "enemies". The same goal is pursued by all magical texts in general. It is characteristic that in the “Prayer of Detention”, the saint’s prayers should protect the house like a magic circle: “ And You, reverend great Hellius of Egypt, who once protected the place of settlement of your disciple in a circle with the sign of the cross, commanded him to arm himself in the name of the Lord and not be afraid from now on of demonic temptations. Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves' attacks and all evil and fear ". In other words, in the "Prayer of Detention" an episode from the life of St. Hellius of Egypt is rethought in terms of mythological and magical consciousness.

It is related to the "Prayer of Detention" with magical texts and focus on earthly well-being, concern for safety property.“And you, the great reverend Hellius of Egypt ... Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves' attacks and all evil and fear.”

Thus, the "Prayer of Detention" comes into conflict with the Orthodox dogma, in particular, with the church's understanding of the purpose and essence of prayer. In Orthodoxy, there are enough other soul-saving prayers that we can read without fear of delusion.

Prayer of Detention Lately became incredibly popular wide use among the churched, and even those who consider themselves far from Orthodox Church. This kind of prayer can be read in order to delay evil in any manifestation, you can also use it to protect against human malice, meanness, envy, aggression.

The people fell in love this prayer because it is a powerful tool that helps, first of all, with problems at work, in the family, love relationships, health, many other life circumstances.

If you want to properly protect yourself from the forces of evil, as well as the people who spread it, for example, the prayer for the detention of the elder Pansofius of Athos is perfect for you.

Prayer "Detention"

“Merciful Lord, You once, through the mouth of the servant of Moses, Joshua, delayed the whole day the movement of the Sun and Moon, until the people of Israel took revenge on their enemies. With the prayer of Elisha the prophet, he once struck the Syrians, delaying them, and healed them again. You once told the prophet Isaiah: behold, I will return back ten steps the sun's shadow, which passed along the steps of Achazov, and the sun returned ten steps along the steps on which it descended. You once, through the mouth of the prophet Ezekiel, closed up the abyss, stopped the rivers, held back the waters. And you once, by fasting and the prayer of your prophet Daniel, blocked the mouth of lions in the den. And now delay and slow down until good time all the plans around those standing by me about my displacement, dismissal, displacement, exile. So now, destroy the evil desires and demands of all those who condemn me, block the mouths and hearts of all those who slander, spiteful and roar at me, and all those who blaspheme and humiliate me. So now, bring spiritual blindness to the eyes of all who rise up against me and my enemies .Didn't You tell the Apostle Paul: speak and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will harm you. Soften the hearts of all those who oppose the good and dignity of the Church of Christ. Therefore, let not my mouth be silent to rebuke the ungodly and glorify the righteous and all your wondrous deeds. And may all our good undertakings and desires be fulfilled. To you, the righteous and prayerful of God, our bold intercessors, who once, by the power of their prayers, restrained the invasion of foreigners, the approach of those who hate, destroyed the evil plans of people, blocking the mouths of lions, now I turn with my prayer, with my petition. , who once protected the place of his disciple’s settlement in a circle with the sign of the cross, ordered him to arm himself with the name of the Lord and not be afraid from now on of demonic temptations. Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves' attack and all evil and fear. day or night; now, around my cell and this house (my), keep behind its fence all the opposing forces and all those who blaspheme the name of God and despise me. the plans of my enemies who want to drive me out of this city and destroy me: do not allow them to approach this house, stop them with the power of your prayer: “Lord, Judge of the Universe, You, who are displeased with all unrighteousness, when this prayer comes to You, let the Holy The Force will stop them where it strikes them." And you, blessed Lawrence of Kaluga, pray to God for me, as having the audacity to intercede before the Lord for those who suffer from the machinations of the devil. Pray to God for me, may He protect me from the machinations of Satan. And You, Reverend Vasily of the Caves, make your prayers of prohibition over those who attack me and banish all the machinations of the devil from me. And you, all the saints of the land of Russia, develop by the power of your prayers for me all demonic charms, all devilish plans and intrigues - annoy me and destroy me and my property. the human race and all his minions who want to destroy me. Stand indestructibly on guard of this house, all those who live in it and all its property. And You, the Lady, not in vain called the "Indestructible Wall", be for all those who are at enmity against me and plotting to do dirty things to me, truly a kind of barrier and an indestructible wall that encloses me from all evil and difficult circumstances.

Despite the fact that his prayer, according to Orthodoxy, has some similarities with canonical prayers, there are some differences. The fact is that some of these prayers include petitions, and orthodox believers find this a contradiction to the commandments of the Gospel, they are not sure about the origin of her words.

In any case, if you want to protect yourself, your family and other loved ones from the manifestations of the forces of evil - it is an excellent tool in this matter. An Orthodox prayer aimed at arresting evil is on the Internet, where you can not only read it, but also listen to it without problems.

Consider some of the nuances of prayer

The prayer of detention has some features that bring it closer to magical texts, for example, incantations, apocryphal prayers. It, just like conspiracies, apocryphal prayers, contains the belief in the existence and effectiveness of harmful witchcraft, the belief that witchcraft can be resisted with the help of magic (magic means the text of the prayer). The main motive of prayer is detention, retention, slowing down, which reflects a stop, suspension of movement.

The thought of the subject of prayer is the fact that just as the waters, the Syrians, the movement of the moon and the sun were once delayed, so now the heavenly forces can slow down or delay the plans of enemies. The subject of the prayer also refers to hagiographic episodes in order to justify the desire to see the forces of all evil in a frozen state. In short, the text indicates that the purpose of prayer is to create magical protection, barriers, armor for any actions of enemies.

Help Detention Prayer

If the prayer of detention was created to protect Orthodox Christians from all evil, it is not difficult to conclude what exactly this evil can be. Believers use prayer from the prayer book at the moment when they feel a threat to their existence, foresee trouble, natural disaster.

But keep in mind that the texts from the prayer book are not magic, and they will not act instantly. The believer turns to God, handing over his fate to him and asking for intercession, and not himself becomes equal to the Creator.

You can also read a prayer with a premonition of the appearance of any domestic problems, if the boss has changed at work, when tension in communication with loved ones increases, a feeling of uncertainty arises with the second half.

Unfortunately, in this prayer there are also such lines with which believers ask to punish the forces of evil, to bring spiritual blindness to the eyes of enemies. You need to understand that christian religion involves a humble surrender to God's will. However, you can independently correct some parts of the prayer and calmly read it, cutting out passages that, in your opinion, may not coincide with your idea of ​​​​the Orthodox faith.

Features of reading a prayer

Before thinking about how to read the prayers of detention correctly, a believer needs to improve relations with the Lord, read the prayer book. One prayer, especially one read without appropriate spiritual preparation, will not help in any way.

It is hardly possible to imagine a situation when a person who has sinned all his life, acted ugly with the people around him, suddenly read one prayer and his life immediately improved. Understand that only when God recognizes you as his child, when you follow him, imbued with unshakable faith, only then can you expect his indulgence.

If you are confident in your faith, then the text Orthodox prayer will help you no matter where you read it.

You can pray at home, read prayers within the walls of the church, using a prayer book, the main thing is that your words come from the heart. Do not rush to turn to the heavenly forces before you realize the meaning of each word. Be sincere, trust God with all the most intimate, and he will never deprive you of his attention, listen, guide you on the true path, protect you from all evil.

Video: Prayer of Detention

One of the effective prayers that serves to protect against evil that comes from people is "Prayer of Detention".

Its name speaks for itself - to delay evil. What kind of evil? Wishes, envy, aggression, hatred, evil plans and thoughts, unpleasant meetings, and also specific practical actions - the evil eye, damage, curses.

Naturally, every sane person will understand that prayer alone is not enough. For comprehensive protection against all evil, an integrated approach is needed. And this prayer should become one of the COMPONENT parts in this integrated approach.

But, resorting to this prayer, you can get rid of a weak negativity, weaken the evil messages that come from other people.

And in order to get a greater effect from working with prayer, I will advise you to strengthen this prayer by using (joint reading with the Detention Prayer) two other things - to choose from. This is an akathist in front of the icon of the Theotokos "Seven Arrows". Or - an akathist in front of the icon of the Virgin "Indestructible Wall". Or, in a short version - prayers before these icons.

The combination of the main prayer - "Prayer of Detention" with an akathist (prayer) in front of one of these icons will allow you to get an enhanced protective effect.

So, there are three options for working with prayer.

The first, the simplest - reading only the "Prayer of Detention"

The second, of medium strength, is the reading of the “Prayer of Detention” and a prayer to one of the icons of the Virgin.

The third, of great power, is the reading of the “Prayer of Detention” and an akathist to one of the icons of the Virgin.

Important! When choosing any of the options, you should first read the prayer “Our Father” 1 time.

Heavenly hosts Archistratisi, we implore you forever, unworthy, but with your prayers protect us with the roof of your immaterial glory wings, preserving us, falling down diligently and crying out: deliver us from troubles, as the officials of the higher powers.

Kontakion, voice 2
Archangel of God, servant of Divine glory, Angels of the head and men of the mentor, ask us useful, and great mercy, like the Incorporeal Archangel.
After reading the prayers, they read a conspiracy to protect the house.

Conspiracy to protect the house

Lord have mercy!
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I will rise, the servant of God (name), after praying,
I'll go, crossing myself at the red corner
in his hut with the cross of God in front of the holy icons.
I'll go from door to door, from gate to gate,
along the roads traveled and untrodden,
on foot and on horseback, sentry and meat-eating.
I will go through fields and forests, through meadows and mountains,
to the holy Mount Sinai.
There is a holy monastery
at that monastery the Holy Cross burns with fire in the sun.
I will approach the Holy Monastery, I will enter the Temple of God.
In that Temple, on the Golden Throne, the Lord Almighty sits.
At the Throne of God are angels and archangels,
seraphim and cherubim, all prophets and martyrs,
all saints and Orthodox virgins.
I will come closer to the Throne of God
and bow down at the feet of the Lord below,
I will pray to the Lord with fervent prayer.
Lord, help, close and protect,
save and save the house of the servant of God (name),
save my parents (names),
my children (names), my godparents (names),
my godchildren (names), close relatives
and distant blood from hunger, from destruction,
from a wasted death, from a fierce enemy,
from a thief, from human slander,
from unbearable diseases, from troubles and need,
from despondency and despair of the soul, from sorrows and sorrows,
from misfortune, from thunder, from a knife, from a cross case,
from a coward, a flood, from a fiery fire,
from deadly ulcers, from slander and quarrel,
from lightning thunder, from carnal passions,
mortal sin and torment of the heart.
Angels and archangels, seraphim and cherubim,
prophets and elders, monks and martyrs,
passion-bearers for the faith of Christ,
virgins and innocent babies
pray to the Lord to protect the house, servants of God (name) from all kinds of misfortunes.
May my house be saved by your prayers!
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Amen...

The "Prayer of Detention" has a significant similarity with canonical (church) prayers. However, many Orthodox authors are critical of it. They point out that the "Detention Prayer" includes petitions that contradict the commandments of the Gospel, and also draw attention to the dubious origin of this prayer.

Prayer to Almighty God

Merciful God, help us, Your helpless creatures, and inspire us with boundless devotion, unrequited obedience to Your will. No matter how cruel our sufferings are, grant us, Lord, the strength and ability to be comforted by the hope of Your protection and help, the confidence in Your nearness.

Everything is possible for you, Lord! There is no such grief, no such misfortune from which You could not save us. There is no such evil that You could not overcome for the benefit of our souls.

Teach us, Lord, to humbly endure all the trials, all the calamities with which You are pleased to visit us. Save our souls from despair and despondency. Let us always remember and not forget that You are close to us, that we are dear to You, that You are always ready to have mercy and save us. Amen.
