On the eve of the Christmas holidays in the Dubovo Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, after receiving the Holy Sacraments, an amazing case of healing a parishioner took place.
90-year-old Anna Petrova (surname changed due to secret confession. - Ed.) Asked her family to take her to the temple of Dubovka (Volgograd region) for confession and communion, because she firmly believed that she could be healed only by God mercy.
- The parishioner could not even get out of the car due to the fact that her legs refused, - says the rector of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos Sergiy Ermakov. - And I gave her communion in the courtyard of the temple.
A week later, the priest could not believe his eyes when he saw this elderly woman at the service in the temple. While standing, she prayed with the other parishioners. As Anna Petrova herself said, on the first night after Holy Communion she had a wonderful dream.
In a dream, she heard a voice claiming that her legs were healthy and she could walk again. And in a dream, the pensioner saw herself full of strength and energy. Waking up, she got out of bed and walked. The leg pains disappeared.
“Any experienced priest can recall similar cases of healing,” says Sergiy Ermakov. - A great many miracles are taking place associated with this greatest Sacrament of the Sacrament, which illuminates the lives of believers. While taking Communion, a person on a spiritual level accepts God into himself, discovers good and love in himself, and is cleansed of evil. Becomes more sensitive and wise, copes with sorrows and life temptations easier. A miracle can happen to every believer, because “according to your faith, it will be given to you”!
Surprisingly, often miracles in Orthodox churches are also called cases that can rather be attributed to the category of worldly. According to the clergy of the Ust-Medveditsky Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery in the city of Serafimovich, it is a miracle that children are transformed for the better within the walls of the church.
“It has already become a tradition for us to receive families of believers with children in the monastery, who come to us for the New Year and Christmas holidays and stay for three days to a week,” says nun Augusta, who bears the obedience of a churchwoman at the church of the Ust-Medveditsky monastery. keeps order and discipline during the service.
