O all-blessed confessor, holy saint, our Father Luke, great servant of Christ. With tenderness we bow the knee of our hearts, and falling before the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like the children of our father, we pray to you with all our zeal: hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the Merciful and Humane-loving God. To whom you stand now 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 children in the spirit of right faith and piety: may He give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them to the shepherds: to observe the right of believers, 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 the grieving, healing for the ailing, return to the path of truth for those who have lost their way, blessing for the parents, education and teaching for the children in the fear of the Lord, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy.

Grant us all your archpastoral blessing, so that if we have such prayerful intercession, we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms.

Guide us on the path that leads to the villages of the righteous, and pray to the omnipotent God for us, so that in eternal life we ​​will be worthy with you to constantly glorify the Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

rector of the Church of the Three Saints in Simferopol

Every person has to live with the most terrible diseases. As a rule, health problems arise due to sins once committed. The extent of the disease depends on the degree of sin. So, you can understand why people suffer from cancer or get the flu. Sometimes illnesses begin to appear in children because of something their parents once did. It is at such moments that it is necessary to ask for help from Luke of Crimea by reading a prayer for healing.

From the life of Saint Luke

This Saint was born quite recently - at the end of the 19th century in the city of Kerch. During his lifetime, Luka, namely Valentin Feliksovich, was an excellent surgeon, an outstanding writer and professor of medicine. All this happened before the Saint became archbishop in 1946. Luke experienced a lot of suffering in his life; he spent about 11 years in terrible exile, praying to people that they would always believe in the Lord God and never shy away from him.

The letters that Luka Krymsky sent to the people became like prayers. The people followed the archbishop, believing that His words were a real cure for any troubles, illnesses and adversities. After Saint Luke died, people read prayers at his grave, and the church ranked the archbishop among the Saints. To this day, believers from all over the world ask Luke for help in the most terrible illnesses and experiences.

What Saint Luke of Crimea himself said about prayer for healing

Luke believed that prayer is not only spiritual healing, but also scientific. When we start to get very sick, an incredible panic awakens in us, we often get nervous and cannot calm down. Prayer to Saint Luke of Crimea for healing became an outlet, moral support, physical invisible support. If you do not talk to the Lord, the disease may worsen, because the body sinks more and more into a state of pessimism.

During his lifetime, Luka Krymsky told everyone that reciting prayers is a balance of mental state, calming thoughts, complete peace and encouragement for a speedy recovery. If you stop panicking in yourself and stop being nervous, the disease will go away on its own, moving from a protracted condition to easy treatment. Very often, a prayer to Luke of Crimea is read about the healing of a child, since it is children who get sick more often than adults - they have weak immunity and a high probability of not being able to cope with the virus.

Prayer to Saint Luke of Crimea for healing

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

Ask Christ our God, may He strengthen His children in the spirit of right faith and piety: may He give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them to the shepherds: to observe the right of believers, to strengthen the weak and infirm in the faith, to instruct the ignorant, to reprove those who are opposed.

Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation: the establishment of our cities, the fruitfulness of the land, deliverance from famine and destruction, consolation for the afflicted, healing for the sick, return to the path of truth for those who have gone astray, blessing for the parent, blessing for the child in distress. The Lord's upbringing and teaching, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy.

Grant us all your Archpastoral blessing, so that if we have such prayerful intercession, we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms. Guide us on the path that leads to the villages of the righteous, and pray for us to the omnipotent God, in eternal life we ​​will be worthy with you to constantly glorify the Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Healing from a terrible disease - what is it?

Very often, if a person feels well again, we attribute it to a miracle. There are many cases all over the world where people had cancer, and after a certain time and reading prayers, the disease went away on its own. Incredible, but it's a fact. On the one hand, this is truly a miracle that does not happen to everyone.

With a friend, you need to thank the Lord God for everything, because this is the work of His Divine hands. All diseases that appear in children from an early age can be cured if you sincerely read the prayer to Luke of Crimea for the healing of the child.

But this does not mean at all that the fight against a terrible illness should only be from reading the sacred text; you still need to treat yourself in the same way as follow all the doctor’s recommendations. Who can turn to Luke of Crimea for healing:

• any child who with all his heart wants his parents to be happy and healthy;
• mothers and grandmothers about the speedy recovery of their beloved grandchildren and children;
• guys and girls about healing their other halves.

You can also ask for yourself. The main thing is to believe in what is written. The prayer for healing to Saint Luke of Crimea does not have specific reading rules, i.e. when exactly you need to pronounce the text, what position to stand in, how many days to speak. Do it when it’s convenient, this is not an akathist.

The most important thing in reading the sacred text is a good mood, faith in the future and a speedy recovery, trust in the Holy One, confidence that everything will be fine. You can pray both at home, by purchasing an icon of St. Luke for the bedroom near the bed, and in church. The text itself is small, it can be read in 10 minutes if you take your time and delve into every word written. During the entire reading there should be no extraneous thoughts, this will only distract and knock you off your spiritual mood.

In addition to medicine, prayer can help during a bad illness. The Almighty will always hear the one who asks if he is sincere with Him. Don’t just believe God, but trust Him with all your soul and heart, tell everything that happened to you, all your experiences and joys. If possible, attend church, ask for healing, and over time you will see how the disease will bypass both you and your family. And Luke of Crimea will certainly become the patron saint of a sick person if prayers to Him are read more often.

The Lord allows illness to cleanse the human soul. But faith can be weak: as soon as the patient feels unwell, he feels fear, and having spent all the means for healing and not receiving relief, he falls into despair. It’s good if torment brings the sufferer to God: He already has the most powerful medicine that you just have to ask with faith.

Holy Doctor - Prayer Book for the Sick

Patients of the 21st century can be called happy people. Medicine has advanced far forward, the chances of recovery have increased significantly, and a new holy healer appeared before God - Bishop Luke of Crimea, a Russian doctor, surgeon, who went through all the misfortunes of hard times.

Saint Luke

Important! Doctors often recommend surgery as an effective treatment.

When you could lose your freedom for visiting church, St. Luke prayed before operations and gave lectures to medical students, wearing a cassock and a cross.

Saints to whom we pray in illness:

While lying in the hospital, it is better to devote your free time to reading the book of Archbishop Luke Voino-Yasenetsky “I fell in love with suffering” and collections of his sermons.

At the end of his life, being almost blind, Bishop Luke continued to receive the sick. His diagnoses were surprisingly accurate, since they were no longer made by professional skills, but by the power of God. Moreover, now, communicating with the Lord in heaven, St. Luke will not hesitate to come to the rescue.
