Oncology is one of the most terrible diseases of our time, claiming lives. I think there is no need to write how difficult it is to overcome it if the disease is advanced. But while a person is alive there is hope for his salvation and healing, remember the will of the Lord for everything... Prayer for cancer can stop the disease, even put seriously ill people on their feet, if you believe with all your heart that the disease will recede and pray with zeal.

I will also add that one of the most powerful means in the treatment of any disease, including cancer, is cleansing and alkalization (reducing acidity) of the body. The first is achieved by fasting, the second by excluding meat and dairy products from food and switching to vegetarianism and a raw food diet. There are many examples where people were cured of cancer only in this way without chemotherapy and surgery. BUT only in case initial stage diseases when there are no metastases.

Natalya Stepanova gave a way to cure cancer - Siberian healer, her prayers and spells work and are very effective.

You need three apples: the first is wormy, the second is normal, the third is ideal, without a flaw, so that the eye is happy.

Take the apples one by one and roll them over the site of the tumor, saying the words:

I roll it up and wrap it around the apple. You are the fruit of original sin, through you Eve accepted sin, and through me you accept cancer. Amen

The patient himself must bury these apples in the manure with his own hands, but with the understanding that no one will accidentally dig them up. After recovery, do not tell anyone this method, otherwise it may come back.

On Mount Khvalynskaya, in the vaunted house,
In the vaunted holy chamber,
There is a throne in the church.
On the Holy See
Praised Mother Most Holy Theotokos
He holds a sword in his hands -
Flog the cancer.
Cut the cancer both at its root and in the white body (name).
The cancer is painful, the cancer is growing,
Cancer creeping through the body,
Grainy, lumpy, bleeding, itching.
You won’t be here, in this body, cancer,
Don't destroy him, don't spread rot.
May you have mercy on me, Queen of Heaven,
Mother of God,
Forbid cancer from eating my white body,
Gnaw him and torment him.
Drive him out where birds don't fly,
Where people and animals do not roam.
Kill the cancer, dry it out,
Remove all its roots from my body.
Kick him out, evict him, chop him up.
Forbid it to be on my body.
Cover with Your Holy Protection, shield.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now, forever, forever and ever.
Amen.

Difficult fate

Born in the second half of the 19th century, into a poor family. The boy was named Anastasy, he had five brothers and sisters. All of them were brought up in piety, attended church, and knew how to sing and read. Since childhood, the child strived for knowledge, but the family did not have the money to give him an education. Nevertheless, the Lord wanted the young man to be his servant. In 1876, he became a monk, then a deacon, and then received a new name - Nektarios (he began to be called Aegina later).

By the will of his benefactor, the monk undergoes training at the Faculty of Theology in Athens. Thanks to his acquaintance with the Patriarch, he receives an appointment to Cairo. There his career begins to take off:

• receives the rank of archimandrite;
• becomes Supreme Archimandrite;

He has been working on its restoration for many years: he removes garbage, improves the territory, and does handicrafts. He was devoid of all pride, thinking only about the good of his neighbors. He constantly cared for the poor and his spiritual children. For this, the Lord rewarded him with generous spiritual gifts.

Even then, many noticed that as soon as Nektarios of Aegina said a prayer, pressing problems were resolved the next day. There were people willing to donate food or money. Many people came to the island just to get advice for their lives from the monk.

• The inhabitants of the island often came to the saint during drought. Saint Nektarios of Aegina prayed and rain fell on the crops.
• Since the pious priest began to live on Aegina, robbery attacks have stopped there.

The Greek island where he graduated from his studies keeps many more stories. life path great saint.

Death and Glorification

Even during his lifetime, many revered Nectarius of Aegina as a saint of God. Currently, his relics are kept in the Trinity Monastery, which was restored by the elder. His body was discovered incorrupt when it was decided to rebury the coffin. And even the flowers that believers brought to their beloved mentor of faith remained fresh, as if they had just been picked.

The old man died in an ordinary hospital, among the poor. He had to endure severe pain, but everyone heard from him only words of gratitude to the Lord. After the reverend's death, his clothes were accidentally left on the next bed. The paralyzed man lying there was able to get up! Miracles continued at the grave of Nectarios of Aegina.

The icon depicts an old man with the Gospel or an icon of the Virgin Mary in his hand. After all, he devoted his entire life to fulfilling the Word of God. It can be either in bishop’s vestments or simply in a monastic black cassock. Witnesses say that the saint was very modest in life, including in his clothes, and never boasted of his high ranks.

Among the most revered saints of the Greek Church is St. Nektarios of Aegina. It is little known in the Eastern Orthodox world, but this does not diminish its miraculous properties. He is the author of the well-known chant in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos Agni Parfene. Remembrance Day of the Wonderworker is celebrated twice a year on September 16 and November 22.

Nectarius of Aegina, life

Saint Nektarios was born near Constantinople at the end of the 19th century in 1846. At baptism he was named Anastasius. The boy’s parents were deeply religious, so the child visited holy places and read the Holy Scriptures from childhood. Anastasia’s family was not rich, so he went to work in the city of Constantinople in order to have the opportunity to study.

At first he got a job at a tobacco factory, but there was not enough money. Therefore, Anastasius soon moved to the island of Chios, where he got a job as a teacher. In addition to teaching, he preached and also created a choir with schoolchildren, which sang at services in the local church. His influence on the local residents was so great that the saint believed in his goals and was increasingly drawn to God. Therefore, he accepted monasticism and was named Nektarios. It means "immortal".

Having graduated from the Faculty of Theology in Athens, being a forty-year-old man, Nektarios received the rank of priest. After serving for some time in the Church of St. Nicholas in the city of Cairo, Egypt, he was elevated to bishop. But, despite universal love and respect, the saint faced a huge trial. Because of the wonderful attitude of everyone around him, he acquired envious people and enemies. Nektarios was accused of encroaching on the throne of the patriarch and of leading an immoral lifestyle.

After being expelled from Egypt, the miracle worker returns to Athens. But they don’t accept him there either. Only the mayor of the city was able to help a little and arranged Nektarios as a preacher. But his canonical position was not completely clear, so Anastasius signed all the necessary documents as a “travelling bishop.”

But Queen Olga played a great role in the fate of Nektary. She heard about an elder from the province and became his novice. By order of the queen, Anastasius was appointed rector of the school of clergy.

Having many young girls in his parish who wanted to serve the Lord, the saint founded a convent on the island of Aegina. Last years The elder spent his life on the island until he became seriously ill. For two months the doctors tried to alleviate the suffering of the patient, but the Lord called the soul of Nektarios to himself. This happened on November 8, 1920.

They say that when the saint's shirt was placed on the bed of a sick man lying next to him, he immediately received healing.

The wonderworker was buried in the monastery. As befits any saint, Nectarios of Aegina, whose relics were raised in 1961, was presented in many Christian churches for veneration.

At one time, Nektarios received blessings from St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. From his relics at one time the elder Jerome of Aegina received the grace, who bowed before his grave in the monastery. Just like Anastasius, the elder could heal spiritual and physical illness, which won the love and respect of Christians.

The Lord is always with you!

Watch the video about Saint Nektarios of Aegina.

The Greek saint Nektarios of Aegina, who was famous for his sincere kindness, meekness and love for others, is known in the world of Orthodoxy for his miraculous deeds. The prayer to Nectarios of Aegina is read by Christian believers asking for healing from serious illnesses.

The meaning of prayer and history

According to church leaders, the origins of Eastern Christianity were laid in Greece, where the great Greek saint Nectarios of Aegina came from.

In the second half of the 19th century, a boy was born in one poor family, who was named Anastasy. Anastasy walked out large family and had five brothers and sisters. The boy was raised by pious parents. The family often visited the temple and attended services, reading prayers to the Savior, the Mother of God and the holy great martyrs.

From early childhood, Anastasy was drawn to knowledge and science, but his parents did not have money to give their son a good education. In 1876 he began to serve the Lord God. The monk was given a new name - Nectarius.

The monk, who received the patronage of the patriarch himself, studied at the theological faculty in Athens. Over time, Nektarios’s career as a clergyman began to rapidly rise: from receiving the rank of Supreme Archimandrite to being ordained as a metropolitan in Cairo. The last event occurred in 1889. Such a rapid rise gave rise to anger and envy among other clergy. Following a false denunciation, Metropolitan Nektarios of Aegina was demoted from office and sent back to Greece.

Not daring to confront fate and refute false slander, Nektarios endured poverty and deprivation, often having neither food nor decent clothing. Thanks to the intercession of pious Christians, the holy martyr received a position as a preacher, a roof over his head and the means to live.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the elder decided to found a convent in an abandoned monastery on the island of Aegina. For many years, he was engaged in improving the area and creating a shrine, taking care of the poor and his spiritual children.

The elder died in an ordinary hospital, surrounded by poor and disadvantaged Christians. Experiencing severe pain and suffering, Nektarios pronounced words of gratitude to Jesus Christ and His grace. The clothes of the deceased old man accidentally ended up on the neighboring bed of a paralyzed beggar. A miracle happened: the weak patient rose to his feet and gained strength.

Orthodox Christians, turning to the saints in their prayers, note that faith in Nectarios of Aegina works miracles. Heeding the prayers and petitions of believers, the Saint bestows enlightenment and peace of mind, restores weakened faith and directs them to the true path. In his prayers addressed to God's saint Nectarius of Aegina, asking for help:

• when making the correct diagnosis and choosing the right treatment method;
• in the fight against various ailments, including cancer;
• for diseases of a neurological nature that have a detrimental effect on the patient;
• to improve weather and climate conditions and prevent various disasters.

Today, the relics of Nektarios of Aegina are in the Trinity Monastery, the restoration of which was carried out by the Saint during his lifetime. When permission was issued for the reburial of the deceased, Orthodox Christians discovered that the body of the saint of God remained incorrupt. And even the flowers that were laid by followers and disciples on the grave of the Most Holy Nektarios remained fresh and fragrant for a long period.
