Among other things, spouses can turn to the miraculous Theodore Icon of the Mother of God or, in completely hopeless cases, request a miracle for the icon of the Virgin “Unexpected joy”.
If you want to have a son
It happens that the purpose of future parents is precisely the conception of a son. More often this happens in families where there are already many daughters, and sometimes spouses want the boy to be the firstborn. In both cases, a special prayer addressed to the Lord for the gift of a son will do. You can read it to your husband, wife or both parents, but always on the men's day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) at dawn.
You should turn to face the rising sun, take a prayer position and say:
“Merciful God, hear Thy Servant (Thy Servant) (name), do not repent and listen to the humble petition! Like a grain of sand to the ground, a drop of grass to the grass, like the bright sun blossoms in the sky, so let my heir be granted to my family. On the son of the Father, bless and incomparable joy. Glory to them and eternal honors. Amen".
If both spouses read the prayer, then it is necessary to pronounce it line by line: first the husband, then the wife. In the end, you must cross and bow. Repeated litigation is recommended daily until the very pregnancy and during the first month.
Appeal to the miraculous icon of the rapid conception
For an early conception, you can resort to the help of a special prayer, which is read without fail before the Theodore Icon of the Virgin. You should pronounce it three times in a row, after each autumn you sign yourself with a sign of the Cross and bowing.
This petition is offered in a church or house opposite the sacred image with the words:
“In sorrow I appeal to Those, Holy Mother, Intercessor of the human race. I entrust their hope and faith in your strength. Grant me Your protection and protection, so that I could give birth to a child as soon as possible. I hope for your heavenly farewell, and I pray to you in the tenderness of the heart: Rejoice, Mother of God, our Protector and Intercessor, our zealous, forever and ever. Amen".
In addition to this prayer, the Mother of God is addressed before other icons, with two universal prayers that can be download here.
Saint Blessed Xenia of Petersburg
It is known for certain that, for the sake of the Holy Virgin, Ksenia of Petersburg, during her lifetime, helped every woman who asked her to find a child through prayers.
Currently, many couples desperate in the hope of having a baby pray in the following words:
“Holy Blessed Xenia, dispelling darkness and delivering from sorrows, I pray for salvation. Grant to me, the Servant of God (your name), His blessing, touch the hand of righteousness and reward the fruit of love with my womb. I believe in your strength and trust in you in order to bear me and rejoice in a healthy child. I thank Ty and praise the eternal offerer. Amen".
Say a liturgy is better at the Life-giving Cross or holding a small silver cross between the palms.
