Angels and archangels are the similarities and differences of the ranks closest to people. Names of archangels and angels, their meaning in Christian culture What does an archangel look like

Regardless of whether you feel the presence of angels and archangels, believe or not in their existence, they are always there and ready to help and respond to your call. They are ready and willing to support and help every person on his way. In connection with the law of Free Will, angels cannot help a person unless they hear from him a clear request for help and inviting them into his life!

How to communicate with angels.

1. Make room for angels in your life

Angels live in the world of the Spirit, the heavenly world, and we live in the world of matter. Naturally, they are drawn to the house. Therefore, if you want the angels to be comfortable with you, you need to make your world - thoughts, feelings and environment - more like their world. To paraphrase James, draw near to the angels and they will draw near to you (James 4:8).

Angels feel good surrounded by thoughts of peace and love, and not in an atmosphere of irritation and aggression. You may not be able to get out of your mind, say, a rude chauffeur who cut you off on the way to your house. However, it is quite possible to get rid of irritation by starting to communicate with the angels for at least a few minutes a day.

Get rid of irritants first. Turn off the radio and TV, go to a separate room or your favorite corner of nature, imagine angels (a picture of your favorite angel placed next to it will help) and communicate with them.

Just tell the angels about your problems. Talk like you're sharing with your best friend. And then listen. Be silent and wait for the thoughts that the angels will send you. You may want to use some of the techniques given in this booklet to increase the flow of positive energy from the angels.

And soon your relationship with the angels will turn into an upward spiral: they will help you feel more positive. A positive state will bring you closer to the angels.

2. Pray out loud

Angels answer many silent prayers or urgent desires of the heart. You don't have to speak to get their attention, especially in places where it would be inconvenient, like at a business meeting or on the subway. However, you will get a more powerful response if you speak to the angels out loud.

Spoken prayer comes in many forms: songs and hymns traditionally used to call angels, well-known prayers such as the Lord's Prayer, and free prayers in which you talk about the deepest longings of your soul. You can combine all this with "decrees" and "decrees" - new types of prayers, which you will learn about in this booklet.

Decrees allow God and man to work together to constructively change lives. These are spoken prayers that enable you to direct the energy of God into the world. Decrees are short powerful statements like: “Archangel Michael! For help! For help! Help!”, effective for calling the help of angels.

Speak your decrees and decrees aloud in a firm, strong voice. Say them at home in front of the altar, on the way to the bus stop, in the car, in the mountains, and especially in emergencies. And see how heavenly streams will pour out on you!

3. Use the name of God

God is within you. And if you use the energy of the God that lives in you to guide the angels, they will be able to respond with all the power of the universe.

When God spoke to Moses from a burning but not burning bush, He revealed both His name - I AM THAT I AM - and the true nature of man. You are the bush, and the fire is your divine spark, the fire of God that He gives you as His son or daughter. It is the power to create in the name of God and the right to command angels.

Jesus used the name of God when he said, "I AM the resurrection and the life." Whenever you say, “I AM…” you are truly saying, “God is in me…” and thus attract all these qualities to yourself. When you say, "I AM illumination," you are asserting that the God in you is drawing this quality to you, making you more enlightened than you were before. Many decrees and decrees in this booklet contain the name of God - I AM THAT I AM. Try reading them and experience the increased power of your prayers.

4. Give Your Prayers and Decrees Daily

Angels are always with us. But we don't always know how to contact them. The best way to get them to answer the call is to build a well-worn path from your heart to theirs by communicating with them every day. And the best way to communicate with them is to set aside time for daily prayer and invocation sessions. Don't make them long, five minutes is a good start.

Mechanic Michael assures that the angels help him all the time and that by giving decrees daily, he is on the same wavelength with them. “For my part, and I am more in tune with them,” he says. The daily reading of decrees helps him to receive almost instantaneous answers to his requests. Usually it takes no more than fifteen seconds for the angels to point out where to find the missing parts, they regularly help determine the causes of malfunctions in machines.

When you pray daily, you help not only yourself, but also people you don’t even know. The angels are looking for those who regularly call upon the light of God to be their partners in the work of healing the planet. And when found, direct light through them to help those threatened by disease, brutal violence, or natural disasters. Thus, your daily prayers will truly bring change to the world.

5. Ask for help

Even after you have made friends with the angels, do not forget to ask them for help when you need it. Angels respect your free will. In very rare cases, they may intervene without you asking them, but more often, out of courtesy, they wait to be called.
Michael (mechanic) says that he sometimes struggles with the problem himself for a long time before he remembers the angels and calls for their help. It often happens when he tries to screw a bolt into a place he cannot see: “I can spend fifteen minutes trying to achieve this, and then I say:“ Angels, please help me, ”and bam! “It all worked out,” he says.

6. Repeat Decrees and Prayers

Decrees and prayers become more powerful as you repeat them. Many Protestants avoid repeating their prayers, seeing this as the "verbosity" that Jesus warned against (Matt. 6:7). “Really,” they say, “why should I ask God for anything more than once?” The Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, on the other hand, practice the repetition of "Our Father", "Hail Virgin Mary" and other prayers. The Jewish mystics repeated the names of God. For some mystics, repetition truly becomes unceasing prayer (I Thess. 5:17).
The reason for the increased effectiveness of prayer with repetition is that each recitation of it increases the amount of light energy that you send to God and the angels. Angels can use this energy as a seed, adding even more light energy when they appear in response to your call. So, choose a series of prayers and decrees. Say them every day until the angels respond.

7. Send your prayer to the right address

If you need to fix the pipes in the house, you call a plumber. To save yourself from a bully, call on the angels of protection. If you want to establish a relationship with someone, call the angels of love.

Angels have different jobs. And they use energies of different frequencies (corresponding to different colors) in order to fulfill it. On the following pages, you will be introduced to the seven types of angels, as well as the seven Archangels who govern them, and learn which angels to call for certain tasks.

The idea of ​​the [existence of] seven Archangels is not new, nor is the association of each angel with a certain color, or spiritual fire. Even in the third century before the birth of Christ, the Jews wrote about the seven Archangels. They also believed that angels appear surrounded by spiritual flames of various colors.

You can connect more closely with these beings by calling on an Archangel whose angels are specialized in the particular work that you would like to see done.

8. Be specific

The angels answer your call accurately and are proud of it. The more specific the request, the more accurate the answer will be. As long as you live in harmony with the universal Source and give your energy to help others, hosts of angels will help you in everything, down to the smallest details of life.

Here is an inspiring example. During World War II, left penniless, a woman turned to God for help. On the grocery list, she specifically listed what her family needed for their weekend meals. A few hours later, a man knocked on the door and handed over a basket of everything she asked for, down to veal, potatoes, and baking flour.

Here's how another woman worked with the angels to get the car she wanted. Danette was looking for a used Toyota 4-Runner, but she knew she wouldn't be able to pay what was usually charged for such a car. And then she decided to entrust this matter to the angels.

The woman wrote the year of manufacture of the car, make, color, engine size, reasonable price, mileage, type of wheels and tires that she needed. On the same list, she indicated that she wanted a car in good working order with heavy-duty steering and brakes, strong windows and locks, air conditioning and computer route control. She cut out a picture of the type of car she was looking for and kept it in her wallet. Every day for fifteen to forty-five minutes she gave decrees and decrees to the angels, looking at her list and picture.

After weeks of reading car ads with no results, Danette was a little frustrated but didn't give up. “I knew that the angels continued to work on this issue ... I did not agree to anything less,” she said. Finally, the woman decided to continue her search in another city, twelve hours away from her own. There, her friends said that at an affordable price for her, "4-Runner" simply could not be found.

But after looking through the ads in the local newspaper, Danette discovered... a 1990 Toyota 4-Runner and, as she said, "three thousand dollars cheaper than cars she had seen before." The owner placed the advertisement literally on that day, the car met all its requirements, up to the computer route control. Her bank cleared the loan, and as she drove home in her 4-Runner, Danette thanked the angels all the way.

The more details your request contains, the more satisfied you will be with the results.

9. Imagine what you want to happen

You can increase the power of your prayer by maintaining a stable mental picture of what you want to happen. In addition, visualize a radiant light that surrounds the situation or problem. Sometimes focusing on an image can help, as Danette did. Here is another example of visualization in action.

As a group of young people were driving home after attending a spiritual seminar, their car engine began to overheat. Since none of them had money to fix the car, they decided to ask the angels for help.

Kevin, who was driving, said: “Whenever the needle crept up to the “overheat” mark, I made fiery calls to the angels ... I asked all passengers to visualize snow, crystal clear, cold mountain streams and ice around the engine. We noticed how the arrow immediately went down, indicating that the temperature had dropped to normal.”

Thanks to the angels and effective visualization, the young people made it home safely! Of course, when possible, it is best to combine the help of angels with the help of professionals.

10. Expect surprises

These questions arise in almost everyone who has ever thought about angels. Why do they answer some prayers and not others? Why does one pray for ten years and not get what he wants, while the other gets it immediately? Why does a fire or flood destroy some houses while others remain unscathed? Undoubtedly, the angels hear the prayers of everyone.

One reason is that the ability of angels to answer prayers is based on the cumulative effects of our actions in the past - our good and bad deeds in this and previous lives - denoted by the word "karma". Angels are not genies or Santa Claus. They are bound to act in accordance with the law of karma. When we pray with devotion to the angels, they can sometimes remove the effects of karma, but more often they have the right to only soften them.

Angels hear all our prayers. But in order to satisfy the request, three conditions must be met:

• they cannot interfere with God's plan for your soul (or your karma);
• they must not harm you or anyone else;
• the time must be correct.

You can beg for years to win the lottery and not win. But you can get something unexpected in return, for example, a high-paying job that opens up new horizons for you. Perhaps the angels could not answer the request for a win because your soul needs to learn how to make a living on its own. But they answered. And just in a way that is best for you.

If you follow the steps in this booklet and still don't get an answer, consider if the angels have something to say to you. Maybe it's time to reconsider the content of your prayer and try again? Keep praying and know that they will give you the best answer they can, based on the needs of your soul. Prayer always bears fruit. You just need to know where to look.

ARCHANGEL METATRON

Archangel Metatron (Merraton, Metaraon)

Metatron is an ardent and energetic angel who works tirelessly to help the inhabitants of Earth. He serves as an intermediary between Heaven and Earth, as he has a rich experience of being both a man and an angel. He helps us understand heavenly perspectives and teaches us how to cooperate with the angels.
Children have a special place in Metatron's heart, especially those who are spiritually gifted. After the Exodus, Metatron led the children of Israel to safety through the wilderness. He continues to lead children today, both on Earth and in Heaven. Metatron cares deeply about children diagnosed with Attention Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and helps parents, caregivers, scientists and medical professionals find natural alternatives to Ritalin and other psychotropic drugs.
The Meteatron helps recently deceased children to adjust to Heaven, and living children to love themselves and be able to focus. Metatron also helps children to become aware of spirituality and to accept and polish their spiritual gifts.
Metatron's energy is very strong and focused like a laser beam. He has a great driving force and will always help you overcome your insecurities and take a bold step forward. He is also a philosopher and is ready to help you understand what causes other people to act and why certain situations arise.
He says:
“My life on Earth gave me the opportunity to understand human ideas about life and death, which are abstract for those who have always been on the ether. I well understand the fear of death, which is the basis of many human emotions. Since I myself crossed this line, I want to emphasize the opinion that you have heard so often: in fact, one should not be afraid of coming here. Your time is planned according to the calendar of your soul, and death will not come a single moment before the due date.
There is no premature or unplanned death, and all the unpleasant things associated with death exist mainly in the human imagination. Even those who perish under tragic circumstances are spared from excruciating suffering through the intervention of God. Their souls are removed from the body at the moment of inevitability, long before suffering can begin. This disconnection from the event occurs because they are focused on what will happen when their earthly existence ends. The attraction of the newfound life that follows death completely distracts from the suffering that one would seem to endure at the moment of death. We assure you that all this is happening because the Great Creator, who is with us always and everywhere, has compassion on us.”

Helps with:

• Attention Disorder Syndrome (ATD)
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Children's problems
• Spiritual understanding
• writing

Appeal

If the child you care for has STD or ADD and is prescribed certain medications, call on Archangel Metatron, there may be alternative treatments:

Archangel Metatron, I ask for your loving intervention to help (name of child) who is diagnosed with (name of diagnosis). Please help us to know God's Will for this child and tell us adults what is best for him. Please help us to stay strong among so many professionals and do what we think is right. Please help us, all concerned adults, to make decisions on behalf of this child, and to have discussions peacefully despite differing opinions. Metatron, please keep this child safe from the slightest harm, now and in the future. Thank you.

Often, due to past negative experiences, our heart is closed to angels. Or the mind, accustomed to rational thinking, cannot comprehend and understand the presence of angels in our lives. How then can angels appear to us? The main aspect is that we must accept angels into our lives and connect with them. When we open ourselves to the angels, the mental, emotional and physical bodies must be involved. By activating all three of your main bodies, you open a channel between yourself and your angels, and they get the opportunity to actually appear to you, or you really feel them. Angels will bring joy, positive mood, harmony of relationships, wisdom, love, clear guidance, protection and support into your life. Your angels are waiting for you with wide open hearts, and love for you is sincere and pure. Of all the Higher Beings, it is easiest for us to perceive angels and communicate with them.

How to get in touch and hear the guide angels, the Higher Self and the archangels?
on the way to our Higher Self and angels-mentors, various difficulties and trials can await us.
The most serious and often occurring are fear and disbelief in oneself. Those nightmarish pictures that torment you are nothing more than an expression of your fears and stress. In such a state, it is really difficult to hear anything, and even more so to try to achieve inner silence.
It is easier for a modern person who constantly works with the mind to get in touch with the Higher part of oneself through the heart. It is best to concentrate on the heart chakra, and not on the ajna. Try not to hear the angels, but to feel them, to feel their love, their energy, their vibrations.
Meditation of the heart
Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and focus on the area of ​​the heart or on the heart chakra. Just sit and look at her with your inner eye. It does not matter if extraneous thoughts come to mind, try not to be distracted by their long reflection and each time return back to the contemplation of the heart chakra. Feel the peace and tranquility reigning inside your heart. Feel its calm measured beat. Imagine that the whole world around you is boiling and seething somewhere out there, outside of your heart. In it - peace and quiet, as in the depths of the ocean. Inside you, inside your heart is everything that you can and want to do. And nothing will be created without your will. You are the master of your heart and your world. When you manage to feel this, sit in this state for as long as you need to feel confident in yourself and your abilities.

Now, with that confidence, start sending waves of love and gratitude from your heart. Thank everyone and everyone you want to thank, even for the smallest things. Thank the universe, thank God in yourself and God in other people, everyone who helps you to realize yourself as you are. Let these waves radiate from your heart and go into the reality around you. Watch with your mind's eye how they change people and situations by touching them. You can imagine those with whom you have a difficult relationship and send them waves of love and gratitude. You will see the effect they will have.

At the end of the meditation, turn to your Higher Self, send him waves of love and gratitude and ask him to guide you in the best way for you. Thank yourself and send love to yourself. Feel how this wave from the heart envelops you from head to toe, like a magical cocoon, protecting you from all adversity and transforming your inner being.

MEDITATION "MEETING WITH ANGELS"

MEETING WITH THE ANGELS MEDITATION (given to Urania Thoth) Sit comfortably in a quiet place. Ask your Higher Self to help you meet with brothers and sisters from your spiritual family. Close your eyes and start breathing slowly and smoothly, preferably without pausing between inhalation and exhalation. Feel how with each breath you begin to slowly move up, smoothly rising higher and higher along the long vertical tunnel above your head. As you exhale, you are like a swimmer emerging from the depths, slowing down a bit to take a break from the rise and prepare for the next rush to the top. You can already see the light at the end of this long tunnel. Strive for it with all your being, and the rise will go faster. Now you are already touching this light with your crown, take another breath and seem to emerge into a huge dazzling space. You float in it. It seems to you that you are in heaven, inside a fluffy cloud. Take a look around. Everywhere you see the faces of angels around you, they surround you everywhere, they exude such love for you and such admiration that at first it will take you some time to get used to them. Say hello to them, let them touch you, hug you. You will definitely feel these touches, they will be like light touches. But there will be many. Maybe you can even hear the flapping of their wings. You have briefly returned home to your spiritual family, and they are happy to welcome you. Let them do for you what they want to do for you. Maybe they will spin you in their delightful round dance, maybe they will want to undress and bathe you in the rays of light and their love. Maybe they want to give you an angelic massage. Maybe they will present their gifts to you. Whatever they do, all this will be appropriate, and you will feel their every movement as the greatest gift for yourself, you will be happy from any of their touch, because you will feel that for you there is no one closer and dearer than them. When you understand that it is time for you to return, the angels will again gather around you, and each of them will give you a particle of their energy with their touch, which you will carry with you to Earth. Feel how your being, like a vessel, is filled with these energies. Realize how important it is to them that you bring their energy down. Every particle of this energy will be forever connected with your Native Home through you, you will be a messenger of Light on Earth, a messenger of great angelic beings, a messenger of Love. Feel these energies singing within you, feel this choir with your whole body and realize that, having descended to Earth, you will always carry them in yourself, you will shine with them and light the way for yourself and others. Thank the angels for their gifts and, with a light and free heart, dive into the small round hole at your feet. You will descend along it just as smoothly as you went up, breathing in and out, only now with each exhalation you will come closer to the Earth, to yourself, sitting in meditation in a calm room. Take another breath and open your eyes. Do you still feel the singing energies of the Angels in you?

Purify the room with incense by placing it in every corner of the house. Let bells and cymbals hang in every room; they must destroy the former heavy energy.

Check the bookshelves, get rid of all junk and low vibration books - they give off bad energy.

Plants with small leaves, such as ferns, destroy all negative formations.

“Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where resentment is forgiveness
Where doubt is faith
Where despair is hope
Where darkness is light
Where sorrow is joy.
O Divine Sovereign,
Make me
Not so much looking for consolation as consoled;
Not so much seeking understanding as understanding;
Not so much sought to be loved as loved.
For when we give, we receive
Forgiving, we receive forgiveness ourselves,
And when we die, we are born into Eternal Life.

And then repeat 3 times:

"Archangel Uriel and the Angels of Peace,
I accept the gift of peace in my heart
Into your soul, into your spirit,

Question: Archangel Uriel, I know less about You than about other angels. You remain a mystery to many. What could you tell us about yourself and your role, and what message do you have for us?

Answer: I'm glad you invited me to contribute to this book, Doreen, I've been by your side invisibly during many of your other projects. Although I seem ephemeral to you and my presence is difficult to determine, I have always been there for you. I have shed light on many situations in which you experienced some kind of difficulty, helped you deal with them in much the same way that hair conditioner helps you deal with tangled curls. In most cases, I stand respectfully apart from those who usually communicate with you directly, preferring to stay behind the scenes and come when my help will bring the greatest benefit.
My love is constantly overflowing from my heart into yours (I mean not only you, but everyone who can hear these words). I am very busy washing situations with love, like a firefighter on a wildfire who chooses the areas engulfed in the most intense flames. I extinguish the pain where it seems that everything is already hopeless, and then you begin to see and think more clearly, and in the end there is a way out. I bring new light into your consciousness so that hope returns to your heart. In many cases, I help you find creative solutions that the Higher Mind constantly offers you, but you can perceive them only in a state of clear consciousness.
I am like a window cleaner from which the prospect of the future opens up to you. I'm just clearing the clouds so you can see life in a new light. Often you call me a "psychological angel", and this is true. I really have the ability to change something in your hearts and bring about forgiveness, even in situations where anger and hatred cloud the mind. I put out the flames of hatred and return to man the ability to realize Divine love. Yes, I am not only the Archangel of Forgiveness, because I can bring much more benefit to humanity.

I am a beginner compared to those archangels with whom people are already very familiar. Other archangels - many of whom you have already met (and those who are still on the way to meet with your open consciousness) - have more, as you call it, "certain" traits, so you immediately recognize them. Michael, with his sharp sword, is an all-powerful warrior fighting for your awareness. Is it possible to ignore his loud voice and commanding spirit? Raphael, with his endless kindness and desire to support, is like a best friend who is ready to be by your side in difficult times. Gabriel is an assistant to creative people and geniuses, he is always happy to do everything in his power and direct the source of the energy of creation to the Earth. And who am I in the kingdom of the archangels? I am the one who helps from afar, the one who amplifies situations in which healing occurs, I am ready to pour powerful streams of light into your minds and everything that happens.

This light is the lifeblood of healing and opens your mind and heart so you can see things from a different angle. My stream of light helps you take a step back and rethink everything. He prepares your heart for forgiveness, even when your mind is seeking revenge. It weakens the effect of the attack and softens your reflex desire for immediate revenge. This does not mean that you lose your resolve and, having softened, find yourself in a foolish position. You become calmer and have the opportunity to find a new perspective, find a different solution and strength.
Imagine me as a wise uncle who offers to solve the problem in a different way. I bring you an era of wisdom woven by life itself. And my testament you receive in the form of the greatest wealth: a source of light that I generously direct on your sacred head if it bows in sorrow. This source is constantly replenished with renewed light, and I have an eternity to spend with you.
But not only this light is a healing catalyst, we should not forget about our endless conversations that take place at such high frequencies that your consciousness sometimes does not even know about them. It's moments like these that give me the most joy - the sublime communion of our "gatherings" that most often occur during meditation, in a dream, or when you are in * a state of expanded consciousness. I get great pleasure from how deep our intellectual conversations are, my heart overflows with happiness when I see that you write down these thoughts, fix their wisdom for your own benefit and prosperity.

Journey with the Archangel “Gift of the Angel of Light…” Answers and advice from the angels… I AM! Angels and Archangels: How to ask patrons for help ANGELIC ...

Every Christian should know the names of the archangels and their purpose, as they guide a person, portend great events. They reveal prophecies, strengthen faith, and also enlighten minds and reveal the innermost secrets of faith.

Archangels in Orthodoxy

The Orthodox faith has its own specific traditions that originated in ancient times. The names of the archangels and their purpose can be found out by studying the Holy Scriptures, which in the best way explain exactly how everything works. However, even the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable theologians are not always able to reliably decipher the biblical texts.

Having studied the list of names of the archangels and their divine destiny in Orthodoxy, one can understand that they are a kind of leader of ordinary angels. Each of them has its own specific functions. Archangels are very often painted on icons, and artists try to pay maximum attention to the created image, drawing even the smallest details. In particular, each has its own attribute, such as sword, spear, trumpet.

In the Orthodox faith, there are only seven archangels, whose names are known to almost all Christians. Why such a quantity? The Bible does not mention it, the texts only say that it is known only to God himself. The archangels not only protect a person, but also instruct him on the true path. Each of them has its own specific functions that it performs.

Their purpose

Many people are interested in how many archangels are in Orthodoxy and their names, since not everyone is well acquainted with biblical texts. The Holy Scripture tells about their exploits, appearance. However, it is worth noting that there are some discrepancies in the biblical texts that do not allow a complete description of these saints. The list of names of archangels allows you to find out how many of them exist in Orthodoxy:

• Michael.
• Gabriel.
• Raphael.
• Uriel.
• Selaphiel.
• Yehudiel.
• Barahiel.

Michael symbolizes all the works of the Lord. He is depicted in a white robe, with a spear and a sword in his hands. According to ancient writings, it was this archangel who first rebelled against Lucifer.

Gabriel is considered a harbinger of fate and is depicted mainly with a mirror in his hands, as a symbol of the fact that he fully conveys the meaning of the acts and thoughts of God.

Raphael is responsible for healing and helping. According to existing legends, he healed the bride of a righteous man.

It personifies the mental abilities of a person, and he is depicted with a sword and fire. It helps in the study of various sciences. Selaphiel acts as the supreme minister of prayer. Jehudiel protects people from everything bad and encourages those who deserve it. Barahiel personifies God's blessing and is often depicted in a pink robe.

Thus, the names of the archangels and their purpose immediately become clear, since each of them is responsible for performing a specific task. If you need to ask for heavenly help or protection, then you need to pray to one or another saint. For this, there are certain prayers that are aimed at asking the archangel for help.

archangel Michael

In total, seven archangels are distinguished in Orthodoxy. The names of the archangels and their purpose are known to many Christians. In addition, all the information of interest can be obtained from the priests. Michael was the first archangel to rebel against Satan. After that, the angel, proud of his beauty, apostatized from God and was thrown from heaven. It is considered the most supreme patron of the heavenly army. He is depicted in a warlike form, with a sword and a spear in his hands. Under his feet is a dragon, which personifies the spirit of malice. The top of his spear is decorated with a white banner, which means unchanging purity and fidelity. The spear ends in a cross, which symbolizes that all deeds are performed in the name of Christ, as well as through patience, selflessness, humility.

Michael is considered one of the most revered saints. In the Old Testament, he is called the senior messenger of the Lord and the protector of the people of Israel. Archangel Michael became the guardian of the people of Israel, as during the day he walked in front of them in the form of a cloudy pillar, which turned into a fiery one during the day. Through him, the will of the Lord also appeared, destroying Pharaoh and his soldiers who were persecuting the Israelites. He has been revered since ancient times. According to the designation of his name, Michael is an angel with power.

Archangel Michael is the winner of dark forces and evil, who helps to get rid of various troubles and sorrows. He is the protector of all Orthodox Christians from evil spirits, as well as enemies. They pray to him for deliverance from grief, at the entrance to a new house, for the protection of the state. Some church leaders see this saint as a participant in very important events in people's lives. The Church reveres him as a defender of the true faith and a zealous fighter against all evil and ungodly actions and thoughts.

In addition, references to him are also contained in the scriptures, which describes the last battle, in which the angels emerged victorious, and Satan was cast down to earth along with his servants. Also, this saint is mentioned in the legend, according to which, Michael was given a special trumpet, which will have to wake up all the dead from the beginning of time during the Last Judgment.

Archangel Gabriel

The names of the holy archangels are recorded in Holy Scripture, and one of them is Gabriel. He reveals the most secret knowledge of the Lord, shows the secrets to the prophets, brings the Good News to the Virgin Mary. The Lord sends him to bring the good news to the earth, as well as to inform the human race about the upcoming salvation. On icons, he is often depicted with a flowering branch or lily. In addition, images are often found with a mirror in their hands, and sometimes with a candle located inside the lamp. Such an image signifies that the ways of the Lord are not always understood, they are comprehended only after a while, by studying the word of God. The mirror is covered with black and white spots, which reflects the good and bad deeds of people.

Often the image of this saint is present on the northern door of the iconostasis. Every church has an icon depicting this saint. He is often depicted on the iconostasis, the side gates of the altar, or applied to the walls and dome of the temple. Often, Gabriel is represented as a golden-haired angel with wings folded behind his back, dressed as a deacon, which emphasizes his constant, zealous service to the Lord. With his right hand he blesses, and in his left he holds a spear.

There are other symbols on the icons, each of which has its own specific meaning, in particular:

• green branch;
• lamp;
• mirror.

The green branch of the tree of paradise symbolizes the plant that he gave to the Virgin Mary when he brought her the good news. A lantern with a lit candle inside symbolizes prayer, as all angels pray tirelessly. The mirror reflects all the good and bad deeds of people. It is made of jasper, therefore it is able to proclaim all the secrets of the Lord. In some cases, Gabriel may be depicted in the armor of a warrior.

One of the tasks was to help the Virgin Mary in her earthly life. In addition, he performs many other assignments of the Lord, many of which are described in the Bible. In the Bible, Gabriel is mentioned as a teacher and spiritual mentor of Joseph, as well as the guardian of the chosen people.

Gabriel is considered the guardian angel of the chosen people. According to the teachings of Muslims, it was from him that Mohammed received his revelations. He instructed the prophet Moses in the wilderness, and also passed on to him the instructions of the Lord, which he wrote down in the Bible, starting from the moment the world was created.

It is customary to turn to this archangel with prayers for pregnancy, as he brought happy news to the Virgin Mary and Zechariah. In addition, they pray to him in the presence of problems with the liver and kidneys, to treat infertility and maintain the health of the mother and child during pregnancy. This saint helps to get rid of various fears and phobias, to restore faith in love, to direct on the true path. However, it is worth remembering that he absolutely does not tolerate betrayal and deceit and can severely punish an evil and vicious person.

Before you start praying, be sure to wash yourself, as well as clear your thoughts, throwing all problems and negativity out of your head.

Archangel Raphael

Studying the names of the archangels and their purpose, one cannot fail to mention Raphael, since Christians revere him. People cry out to him, praying for the healing of the body. He is considered a healer from the Lord. Saint Raphael is the archangel of mercy and help to suffering and distressed people.

He is considered the patron saint of all doctors and those who care about other people. However, it is worth remembering that only a pious person who is merciful towards others can receive help from the archangel Raphael, because otherwise the saint simply will not hear prayers. On icons, he is depicted with medicines and a clipped bird feather, which he uses to treat wounds.

Those who bear the name Raphael need to be merciful and compassionate with the suffering, otherwise they will lose their spiritual connection with the patron.

Archangel Uriel

In addition, Uriel inflames the hearts of people and fills them with true love for the Lord, and also helps to eliminate impure thoughts and earthly attachments. There is an opinion that he rules over the heavenly bodies.

Archangel Selaphiel

Among the names of the archangels in Orthodoxy, one can single out - Salafiel, which in translation means "servant of prayer." This saint warms the hearts of people for prayer, and also helps in it. A person is very weak and fusses all the time, therefore, often he simply will not be able to fully open his heart. He is revered by the Orthodox as the prayer book of the Lord, as he prays all the time and encourages people to pray for the salvation of health.

Very often, the icons depict the archangel Salafiel praying, which he sets an example for Christians. Seeing a saint in such a position, Christians also try during prayer to always be in a position that befits a person who decently prays.

Archangel Yehudiel

Many do not know the names of Orthodox archangels and their purpose, since not everyone studies the Holy Scriptures. One of the saints is Yehudiel, who is known only from ancient legends, since there is no mention of him in the Bible and the Gospel. He is depicted holding a golden crown, as well as a scourge of three red branches. The archangel encourages with an eternal reward people who work for the glory of the Lord.

Each deed is accomplished only through labor, and many deeds can be very difficult. However, every righteous and good deed is done under the auspices and protection of this saint. The more difficult the task, the higher the reward. Therefore, he is often depicted with a crown, which symbolizes the reward for a working person.

A scourge woven from branches symbolizes the punishment of sinful people for laziness and impious deeds. - the patron of monasticism, a mentor in work, an assistant to those in need, and also an intercessor on the way. According to Christian belief, he patronized the Israelites during their 40-year wandering in the wilderness.

One of them is Barahiel, who sends God's blessing to people for good deeds. On icons, he is traditionally depicted in a pink outfit, which symbolizes the grace of blessing for good, as well as infinity. On his chest are white roses, which symbolizes the upcoming bliss and endless peace.

This saint patronizes kind and pious people, asking the Lord for blessings from them. Gives people the opportunity to live in salvation and health. This is the patron saint of pious families, as well as the keeper of purity of body and soul.

How to ask for help from the archangels

Throughout life, a person is accompanied by angels and archangels. How many of them and the names of the saints are known to many, but not everyone knows how to ask for help correctly. To ask for protection or anything else, you need to say the prayers intended for this.

The clergy recommend saying prayers in the church, near the icon with the face of the saint to whom they are addressing. In this case, you need to say a specially designed prayer, the text of which can be found in the sacred books or you can turn to the clergyman with this question.

Some people mistakenly believe that it is possible to turn to the archangels for help only on a specially designated day of the week, however, this is not the case. You can turn to the saint and ask him for help, and you can also read a prayer at any time. That is what the priests say about it.

Knowing the names of the archangels and their purpose in Orthodoxy, you can determine when and to which saint you need to pray in order to receive the forgiveness of the Lord, find out the truth, get rid of illnesses, or attract good luck.

Like any other, the Christian religion is characterized by the presence of its own traditions, which originated in the distant past. Most of the information about Orthodoxy can be found in the Holy Book. Among other things, the Bible is filled with a considerable number of prayers, which indicates that people turn to the Lord in a variety of situations. At the same time, the conversion does not always occur directly; quite often, archangels are resorted to in this matter.

Meanwhile, there is a certain hierarchy among the Divine associates. This is what the angelic ranks look like:

• Seraphim are six-winged creatures that are closest to God and, accordingly, have the highest rank. It is believed that they are able to arouse in the heart of the believer the strongest love for the Lord.
• Cherubim - are considered intercessors, guards of the Heavenly Book of Knowledge. The main purpose is to protect the human race and a constant prayer for souls before God.
• Thrones are creatures that help bring justice.
• Authorities are substances that hold the keys to the Devil's cell. They can easily tame demons and save humanity from temptation.
• Dominations are creatures of the second triad that control angels, and also teach how to properly control feelings in order to protect themselves from unnecessary and demonic impulses.
• Forces - the so-called caste of angels, who instantly fulfill the will of God, while showing his strength and strength.
• The beginnings are the legions of angels who valiantly stood up for the defense of religion. They govern the universe and protect it from everything God has created.
• Archangels are considered great evangelists who understand and know the will of the Creator, and also reveal prophecies to the world.
• Angels are the closest beings to a person who are called upon to protect him.

Archangels and angels

Like any person in everyday life, archangels and angels, whose classification is striking, have a number of duties. In order to get acquainted with everything in more detail, you must first determine who the archangels and angels are.

So, archangels are called invisible and incorporeal substances that are completely filled with spirituality and act only according to the will of God. It is they who come to the aid of believers in difficult life situations.

Angels, on the other hand, are considered beings - immortal and incorporeal, who have the unique ability to take on any form depending on the situation. Most often they appear before a person as a man. According to Christian Orthodoxy, angels have wings and can fly. It is also believed that every person from birth to the end of years accompanies the guardian in the form of this creature.

Main differences

An interesting fact is that each highest angel has at least 12 angels in his submission. This suggests that higher beings have a higher rank. That is why they all have names and a special purpose, in turn, angels are nameless beings.

In order to enlist support, it is necessary to read special prayers. It is permissible to address angels in simple words.

In total, seven archangels are distinguished in Orthodoxy:

It is worth noting that there is no female archangel, since there are only seven of them, and they are all men.

Request for help

When referring to the archangels, it is imperative to use a prayer request, which can be found in the Bible. At the same time, it is worth remembering that, regardless of who you want to turn to, you must first read a prayer to the Archangel Michael. This is due to the fact that he is the main assistant of the Lord.

Angels and archangels are closer than all other divine messengers to a person. Find out how they differ from each other, what functions they perform and what place they occupy in the heavenly hierarchy.

Angels and Archangels - Occupation, Hierarchy and Differences

The holidays dedicated to the archangels are celebrated on November 21, or November 9 - according to the old calendar. But it is dedicated not only to them, but to all the disembodied heavenly forces. This is a common feast of guardian angels, archangels and other heavenly helpers from God. November was not chosen by chance - this is the ninth month, and, as you know, there are also nine ranks of angels.

The day of the angel is considered the anniversary of baptism. The patron saint is given to a person precisely after him, and therefore this date is the feast of the guardian angel. Angel Day is the spiritual birthday of a person, the anniversary of his entry into the circle of baptized, righteous people.

Types of angels according to different sources

There are types of angels that classify them not only by rank and place in the heavenly hierarchy. For example, the Old Testament points to the existence Nephilim- descendants of angels who sinned with mortal women, for which they were expelled by God. The New Testament divides angels into saints and fallen ones. In this case, it is customary to write the former with a capital letter, and the latter with a lowercase letter.

Angels exist in most of the world's religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism. In Judaism, there are seven angels, but only three are named by name - Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. The rest of the angels are mentioned only in. Four of them stand apart from the rest, guarding the four cardinal directions. This is Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Oriel.

The Kabbalistic hierarchy of heavenly forces is closely connected with the tree of ten Sefirot and a system of five worlds. Through the worlds and halls they help the Almighty. The head of the angels is Metatron- the highest angel. In Christianity, there is, according to this classification, their representatives differ in their mission and proximity to God. In Orthodoxy, archangels are in eighth place, and angels are in last, ninth.

You should be aware that the images of angels and archangels on icons do not convey their true appearance. All heavenly patrons are incorporeal, and iconographic images convey the idea, general meaning and occupation of a particular representative. There is a certain symbolism in the images of the heavenly forces close to people.

Archangels are called great evangelizers, announcing the great and glorious. Archangels reveal prophecies, knowledge and understanding of the will of God, strengthen the holy faith in people, enlightening their minds with the light of knowledge of the Holy Gospel, and reveal the sacraments of pious faith. The names of the Archangels are known from the Holy Scriptures. Each of them has a special ministry. Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Selaphiel, Yehudiel, Barahiel, Jeremiel.

archangel Michael

Archangel Michael (who is like God) is the leader of the heavenly host.

They say that Satan takes great credit for making the painters NOT DESIGN themselves defeated under the feet of the Patron of the human race. On this drawing under the feet of the Archangel Michael is the defeated devil.

Dan. 10, 13; 12, 1.
Jude. Art. nine.
open 12:7-8.

"Michael, one of the first princes, came to help me." (Dan. 10:13)

Oh, the great Archangel of God, Archangel Michael, the conqueror of demons! Defeat and crush all my enemies, visible and invisible, and pray to the Lord Almighty, may the Lord save and save me from all sorrows and from all illnesses, from mortal ulcers and vain (sudden) death.

Holy Archangel of God Michael! Drive away from me with your lightning sword the spirit of the evil, sad, tempting me, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

When Satan rebelled against God, saying "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I will be like the Most High" (Is. 14:13-14), then the Archangel of God Michael opposed him, answering: "Who is like God? No one is like God!" . And then the whole angelic world was divided.

"And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought against them, but did not stand ... And the great dragon, the ancient serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole universe, was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him, and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ, because the slanderer is cast down." (Rev. 12; 7-10).

Since then, God has blessed this zealous Archangel to participate in spiritual battles as the Archangel of the incorporeal forces and called him Michael, which in translation means Who is God. Who is equal to God.

The book "A Guide to Painting Icons of Saints" says that the holy Archangel Michael "is depicted trampling (trampling underfoot) Lucifer and, like a conqueror, holding a green date branch in his left hand on his chest, and in his right hand a spear, on top of which white banner, with the image of a red cross, in commemoration of the victory of the Cross over the devil. (Academician V.D. Fartusov, Moscow, Synod. Type, 1910, p. 226).

Russian Chrysostom, Archbishop Innocent of Kherson wrote as an edification: “He was the first to rebel against Lucifer (Satan), when he rebelled against the Almighty. It is known how this war ended - the overthrow of the morning star (Satan) from heaven. for the glory of the Creator and Lord of all, for the salvation of the human race, for the Church and her children.

... Therefore, for those who are adorned with the name of the first of the Archangels, it is most fitting to be distinguished by zeal for the glory of God, fidelity to the King of Heaven and the kings of the earth, the constant war against vice and wickedness, constant humility and selflessness "(Seven Archangels of God, M., 1996, p. .5-6).

The memory of the Holy Archangel Michael according to the church calendar is celebrated on November 8 (O.S.) and September 6 (O.S.).

Holy Archangel Michael, help me defeat enemies, visible and invisible, and adversaries who fight against my soul and body. And pray to God for me a sinner. Amen.

Archangel Gabriel

Archangel Gabriel (from Hebrew - the husband of God). One of the highest angels, in the Old and New Testaments, appears as a bearer of joyful gospels. He announces to the priest Zechariah in the temple, while offering incense, the birth of John the Baptist, the Ever-Virgin in Nazareth - the birth of the Savior of the world. According to the Bible, he is considered the guardian angel of the chosen people. Kabbalists consider him the teacher of Patriarch Joseph; according to the teachings of the Mohammedans - from him Mohammed received his revelations and was carried away to Heaven by him. It is depicted on icons with candles and a jasper mirror as a sign that the ways of God are not clear until the time, but are comprehended through time by studying the word of God and obedience to the voice of conscience.

Mentioned in canon books:
Dan. 8, 16 and 9, 21;
OK. 1, 9 and 26.

"The Archangel Gabriel was sent from God." (Luke 1:26)

Oh, the great Archangel of God Gabriel! You announced to the Most Pure Virgin Mary the conception of the Son of God. Raise to me, a sinner, the terrible day of my death, and pray to the Lord God for my sinful soul, may the Lord forgive my sins, and the devils will not keep me in tollhouses for my sins.

Holy Archangel of God Gabriel, bringing unspeakable joy from Heaven to the Blessed Virgin Mary! Fill my heart, grieved with pride, with joy and joy, and save me from all troubles and serious illness, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

When the holy prophet Daniel was rewarded with a prophetic vision from God about the future fate of the world, and wondered what it meant, he heard the voice of God: "Gabriel! Explain this vision to him!" (Dan. 8:16). Another time, as the prophet says: "Gabriel .., having quickly arrived, touched me ... and admonished me ... and said:" Daniel! Now I have come out to teach you understanding." (Dan. 9; 21-22).

Indeed, the holy herald of the mysteries of God explained everything to the prophet Daniel and, having enlightened him, gave the understanding of seventy weeks, after which the Savior of the world was to be born.

Later, the holy Archangel Gabriel was sent by God to announce the birth of John the Baptist to Zacharias, and to the Blessed Virgin Mary to predict the birth of the Savior from Her (Luke 1:5-38). “This same Archangel, according to God-wise men, was sent to strengthen the Savior in the Garden of Gethsemane and to proclaim to the Mother of God Her all-honorable Assumption. Therefore, the Church calls him a minister of miracles,” writes St. Innocent, Archbishop of Kherson (cited essay, p. 7 ).

The Holy Archangel Gabriel, as explained in the "Guide to the Painting of Icons", "is depicted holding a lantern with a candle lit inside in his right hand, and a stone mirror in his left." (Fartusov, p. 226). This mirror of green jasper (jasper) with black and white spots on it, illuminated by the light of truth, reflects the good and bad deeds of the peoples, proclaims to people the mysteries of God's economy, the salvation of mankind.

The name Gabriel, received by the Archangel from God, means in Russian the Fortress of God or the Power of God.

Holy Archangel Gabriel, bring joy to me and the salvation of my soul. And pray to God for me a sinner. Amen.

Archangel Uriel

Archangel Uriel (fire of God).

3 Ezd. 4, 1; 5, 20.

"Archangel Uriel commanded me." (3 Ezra. 5:20).

Oh, the great Archangel of God Uriel! You are the radiance of the Divine fire and the illuminator of those darkened by sins, enlighten my mind, my heart and my will with the power of the Holy Spirit, and guide me on the path of repentance, and implore the Lord God, may the Lord deliver me from the hell of the underworld and from all enemies visible and invisible.

Holy Archangel of God Uriel, illumined by the light of God and abundantly filled with fire and fiery hot love! Throw a spark of this fiery fire into my cold heart, illuminate my dark soul with your light, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

The name of this Archangel of God is known thanks to the third book of Ezra, the last book of the Old Testament.

The Holy Archangel Uriel was sent by God to the pious and learned priest Ezra, who lived in the 5th century BC, to give him an answer about the signs and time of the end of this world.

“I am allowed to tell you about these signs, and if you pray again and weep, as now, and fast for seven days, you will hear even more of this.” (3 Ezra 5;13) - The holy messenger of God Uriel spoke to Ezra. So, after each nightly conversation, the Archangel reminded the priest: "Pray unceasingly to the Almighty, and I will come and speak with you." (3 Ezra 9:25).

And the Lord spoke to Ezra through His heavenly messenger: “The more you experience, the more you will be surprised, because this age is quickly hastening to its end and cannot contain what is promised to the righteous in future times, because this age is filled with unrighteousness and infirmities. ." (3 Ezra. 4:25).

According to the Tradition of the Orthodox Church, the holy Archangel Uriel was appointed by God to guard Paradise after the fall and exile of Adam. According to the teachings of the Holy Fathers, Archangel Uriel, being the radiance of the Divine Fire, is the enlightener of the darkened, unbelievers and ignoramuses. And the very name of the Archangel, corresponding to his special service, means the Fire of God or the Light of God.

According to the icon-painting canon of the Orthodox Church, the holy Archangel named the Fire of God "is depicted holding a naked sword in his right hand against his chest, and a fiery flame in his left." (Fartusov, p. 226).

“As an Angel of light, he enlightens the minds of people with the revelation of truths that are useful to them; as an Angel of Divine Fire, he kindles hearts with love for God and destroys unclean earthly attachments in them,” explains Vladyka Innokenty, Archimandrite of Kherson. (Cit. Op., p. 10).

Holy Archangel Uriel, enlighten my darkened mind and defiled by my passions. And pray to God for me a sinner.

Archangel Raphael

Archangel Raphael (God's help).

Mentioned in a non-canonical book:
Tov. 3, 16; 12, 12-15.

"Raphael was sent to heal." (Tov. 3;16)

O great Archangel of God Raphael, received a gift from God to heal ailments! Heal the incurable ulcers of my heart and many diseases of my body.

Holy Archangel of God Raphael! You are a guide, a doctor and a healer, guide me to salvation, and heal all my mental and physical illnesses, and lead me to the Throne of God, and implore His goodness for my sinful soul, may the Lord forgive me and save me from all my enemies and from evil people, other and to the century. Amen.

The Bible contains a beautiful life story of a godly family. This is the book of Tobiah, which is especially edifying. Here we see the invisible service of the angels of God to us.

Tobit, the father of Tobiah, and the bride of Tobiah were seriously ill. And the Lord sent the holy Archangel Raphael for healing. When Tobit, miraculously clear, wanted to give the stranger half of his estate in gratitude, Raphael told them: “now God has sent me to heal you and your daughter-in-law ... I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels who lift up the prayers of the saints and rise before the glory of the Holy One ... Bless God forever. For I came not of my own free will, but of the will of our God; therefore bless him forever." (Tov. 12:14-18).

"Very instructive are the words spoken by this Archangel when he was separated from Tobit's family. "A good deed is prayer with fasting and almsgiving and justice, for almsgiving delivers from death and can cleanse every sin ... your charity was not hidden from me, but I was with you" (Comrade 12; 8-9; 13). Therefore, whoever wants to be worthy of the heavenly help of Raphael, first of all, he himself needs to be merciful to those in need. - Instructs Archbishop Innokenty of Kherson (Cit. Op., p. 9).

Raphael in Aramaic means Healing of God or Healing of God.

The "Guide to the Painting of Icons" briefly explains that: "The Holy Archangel Raphael, the doctor of human ailments: is depicted holding a vessel (alavaster) with medical agents (medicine) in his left hand, and a pod in his right hand, that is, a clipped bird feather for anointing wound." (Fartusov, p. 226).

Holy Archangel Raphael, heal my ailments, both spiritual and physical passions. And pray to God for me a sinner. Amen.

Archangel Selaphiel

Archangel Salafiel (prayer to God).

Mentioned in a non-canonical book:
3 Ezd. 5, 16.

"An angel of God called from heaven." (Gen. 21:17).

O great Archangel of God Salafiel, who gives prayer to those who pray! Teach me to pray with a fiery, humble, contrite, heartfelt, concentrated and tender prayer.

Holy Archangel of God Salafiel! You pray to God for the believers, pray to His goodness for me, a sinner, may the Lord deliver me from all troubles and sorrows, and from illnesses, and from vain death, and from eternal torment, may the Lord grant me the Kingdom of Heaven with all the Saints, in ages of ages. Amen.

The Holy Archangel Salafiel, whose name in Aramaic means the Angel of Prayer, Prayer to God, or the Prayer Book of God, according to the Orthodox Church, appeared to Hagar in the desert when Abraham sent her with her son to Egypt, to their homeland. "She went and got lost in the wilderness ... there was no water ... and she left the lad under one bush and went ... For she said: I do not want to see the death of the lad. And she ... raised a cry and wept, and God heard the voice of the lad ... and the Angel of God from heaven called to Hagar, and said to her, "What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God heard the voice of the lad from where he is; rise, lift up the lad and take his hand ... And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water alive, and went and filled the bottle with water and gave the lad to drink. (Gen. 21:14-19).

“And so the Lord gave us a whole face of prayer angels, with their leader Salafiel,” writes Vladyka Innokenty of Kherson, “so that with the pure breath of their mouths they warm our cold hearts to prayer, to instruct us when and how to pray, to offer up our very offerings to the throne of grace. When you see, brethren, on the icon of the Archangel, standing in a position of prayer, with his eyes lowered down, with his hands applied with reverence to his Persians (to his chest), then know that this is Salafiel. (Cit. Op., pp. 11-12).

The book "Guidelines for the Painting of Icons" says: "The Holy Archangel Salafiel, a prayer book, always praying to God for people and arousing people to prayer. He is depicted with his face and eyes bowed (lowered) down, and his hands pressed (folded) in a cross on chest, as if tenderly praying." (Farusov, pp. 226-227).

Holy Archangel Salafiel, excite me day and night to the Divine doxology. And pray to God for me a sinner. Amen.

Archangel Yehudiel

Archangel Yehudiel (Praise God).

"He will command his angels about you - to guard you in all your ways." (Ps. 90:11).

Oh, the great Archangel of God Jehudiel, zealous defender of the glory of God! You excite me to glorify the Holy Trinity, awaken me lazy to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and implore the Lord Almighty to create a pure heart in me, and renew the spirit of rights in my womb, and with the Master’s spirit will confirm me to worship God in spirit and in truth.

Holy Archangel of God Yehudiel, ever-present companion and intercessor of all those who labor on the path of Christ! Wake me up from the heavy sleep of sinful laziness, and enlighten me and strengthen me with a good feat, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

According to the sacred tradition of the Orthodox Church, God sent the Archangel Jehudiel to precede the people who profess the one true God in conquering the land of the pagan peoples.

Moses, after forty days of fasting and prayers, ascended Mount Sinai, where God gave him the Law, which the entire Old Testament Church had to observe. And Moses conveyed to the people of God the words spoken by the Lord: “Behold, I am sending my angel before you to keep you on the way and lead you to the place that I have prepared for you; watch yourself before Him and listen to His voice; do not be stubborn against Him, because he will not forgive your sin, for my name is in him." (Ex. 23; 20-21).

Then God revealed to people that not only every person, but even a nation, needs the constant help of the Angels of God on the way to the place that "God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Cor. 2; 9).

The name of the Holy Archangel Jehudiel translated into Russian is the Glorifier of God or the Praise of God, because he really, as the inscription on the fresco of the Cathedral of the Annunciation says, "has the ministry of approving people who work in honor or, for the glory of God, ask for retribution."

As explained in the "Guide to the Painting of Icons", the Archangel of God Yehudiel "is depicted holding a golden crown in his right hand, as a reward from God for useful and pious works to holy people, and in his left hand a scourge of three black ropes with three ends, as a punishment for sinners for laziness to pious labors." (Fartusov, p. 227).

“Each of us, from young to old, is obliged to live and work for the glory of God,” writes Archbishop Innokenty of Kherson. “The greater the feat, the higher and brighter the reward. In the right hand of the Archangel is not just a crown: it is a reward for every Christian working in the glory of God." (Op. cit., p. 13).

Holy Archangel Jehudiel, confirm me for every work and work. And pray to God for me a sinner. Amen.

Archangel Varahiel

Archangel Varahiel (God's blessing).

This name is known only by tradition. It is not found in the Bible and the Gospel.

"My angel is with you, and he is the protector of your souls." (Jer. 6).

O great Archangel of God Barahiel, coming to the Throne of God and from the Throne bringing blessing to the house of God's servants! Ask the Lord God for mercy and blessings, may the Lord bless from Zion and from His holy mountain, and multiply the abundance of the fruits of the earth, and give us health and salvation, victory and overcoming enemies, and save us for many years.

Holy Archangel Varahiel, bringing blessing from the Lord to us! Bless me to lay the foundation for a good correction of my negligent life, so that I will please the Lord my Savior in everything, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Barahiel - Blessing of God.

The book "Guide to the Painting of Icons" says the following about him: "The Holy Archangel Barahiel, the distributor of God's blessings and intercessor, asking for God's favors for us: is depicted as carrying white roses on his chest on his clothes, as if rewarding, at the command of God, for prayers, labors and moral behavior of people and heralding bliss and endless peace in the Kingdom of Heaven. (Fartusov, p. 227). These white roses mean the blessing of God. What could be purer and more fragrant than white roses, from which rose oil is extracted? So the Lord, through His Archangel Varahiel, sends His blessing from the depths of his clothes for prayers and labors to people.

“Inasmuch as the blessings of God are different,” writes St. Innocent of Kherson, “then the ministry of this Angel is diverse: through him the blessing of God is sent to every deed, to every good worldly occupation.” (Cit. cit., p. 14).

Holy Archangel Barahiel, intercede for me mercy from the Lord. And pray to God for me a sinner. Amen.

Archangel Jeremiel

Archangel Jeremiel (the height of God).

Mentioned in a non-canonical book:
3 Ezd. 4, 36.

“To this Jeremiel the Archangel answered me” (3 Ezra 4:36)

“In the III book of Ezra (4; 36) the Archangel Jeremiel (the height of God) is also mentioned,” writes Archimandrite Nikifor in the “Biblical Encyclopedia” (M., 1891, p. 63). He was present at the first conversation of the Archangel Uriel with the priest Ezra and answered the latter's question about the signs preceding the end of the sinful world, and about the beginning of the eternal kingdom of the righteous.

“How and when will it be? - asked the righteous Ezra. - Jeremiah the Archangel answered me: “when the number of seeds in you is fulfilled, for the Almighty weighed this age on the scales, and measured the times by measure, and numbered the hours, and will not move (push back) and will not speed up (shorten) until then, until a certain measure is fulfilled” (3 Ezra 4;33:36-37)”. In other words, this temporary world will cease to exist when the number of holy righteous from among people reaches the number of angels who have fallen away from God.

Ezra asked the holy Archangel Jeremiel: “Show me: whoever has to come is more than what will be ?!” (3 Ezra 4:45). With the help of two synonyms - smoke and rain - the Heavenly messenger revealed to the priest that two of the three parts of the time that God had given to this world had already passed, from its creation to its death, and that a third part remained. Recall that Ezra lived at the end of the fifth millennium from the beginning of the universe (or from the creation of Adam), which corresponds to the 5th century BC.

Then the righteous Ezra asked Jeremiel: “Do you think that I will live to see these days? And what will happen these days? To this he answered and said: “I can partly tell you about the signs that you ask me about, but about your life I was not sent to speak with you” (3 Ezra 4:51-52). And the Archangel of God told Ezra about many events that should happen before the end of the world, calling them signs. For a person who knows how to understand the meaning of unfolding phenomena, they will indicate the nearness of the end of this world.

The name of the holy Archangel Jeremiel means in Russian the Height of God or the Elevation of God. He is sent from above from God to man in order to promote the exaltation, the return of man to God. The Archangel of God not only opens up the gloomy perspective of the sinful world, they say, the farther the worse, but also helps to see in the dying world the holy grains of eternal life. (see John 12:24).
