Unfortunately, sometimes women decide to get rid of pregnancy. Everyone has their own reasons for this. Without going into details of morality and ethics, I want to give a few prayers that are designed to help a failed mother survive the grief of loss, realize and accept the feeling of guilt and repent through prayer, remember the dead souls of babies.

O Master, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God! Much of Thy goodness, for our sake and for the sake of our salvation, man was clothed in flesh, and crucified, and buried, and with Your Blood renewing our corrupted nature, accept my repentance for sins and hear my words: I have sinned, O Lord, in heaven and before You, in a word , deed, soul and body, and thoughts of my mind. I transgressed Your commandments, did not listen to Your commandment, angered Your goodness, my God, but as Your creation exists, I do not despair of salvation, but boldly come to Your immeasurable Compassion and pray to You: Lord! in repentance, give me a contrite heart and accept me as I pray and give me a good thought, give me tears of conscience, Lord, let me, by Thy grace, make a good beginning. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me who has fallen, and remember me, Thy sinful servant, in Thy Kingdom, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

You need to pray not only for the salvation of your soul, but also for your dead children (not only aborted ones, but also those who died in the womb as a result of a frozen pregnancy or during childbirth). According to Orthodox beliefs, these are all our children, for whom we should pray just as for the living (if, of course, the mothers are believers).

Remember, O Lord who loves mankind, the souls of Your departed servants, the babies who in the womb of Orthodox mothers died accidentally from accidental actions, or from a difficult birth, or from some carelessness, or who were deliberately ruined and therefore did not receive Holy Baptism.
Baptize them, O Lord, in the sea of ​​Thy bounty and save with Thy ineffable grace, but forgive me, a sinner (name), who committed the murder of the baby in my womb and do not deprive Thy mercy.
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
(Bow to the ground)
Lord, have mercy on my children who died in my womb, for my faith and my tears, for the sake of Your mercy, Lord, do not deprive them of Your Divine Light. Amen.
(Pray all my life)

Repentance prayer for those who had an abortion

Prayers in despondency and despair:

Saint John Chrysostom

Troparion, tone 8:

From your lips, like the light of fire, grace has shone forth, enlightening the universe: do not gain the treasures of the world from the love of money, show us the height of humility. But punishing with your words, Father John Chrysostom, pray to the Word of Christ God to save our souls.

Kontakion, tone 6:

You have received Divine grace from Heaven and through your lips taught all to worship in the Trinity To the One God, John Chrysostom, all-blessed, reverent one, we worthily praise you: you are a mentor, as if you were manifesting the Divine.

Oh, great saint John Chrysostom! You received many and varied gifts from the Lord and, like a good and faithful servant, you multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this reason you were truly a universal teacher, as every age and every rank learns from you. Behold, you appeared as an image of obedience to the youth, a luminary of chastity to the young, a mentor of hard work to the husband, a teacher of kindness to the old, a teacher of kindness to the monk, a rule of abstinence to the monk, an inspired leader from God to those who pray, an enlightener of the mind to those seeking wisdom, an inexhaustible source of living words to those who are kind-hearted, to those who do good. - the star of mercy, the ruler - the image of the wise, the zealot of truth - the inspirer of boldness, the righteousness for the sake of the persecuted - the mentor of patience: you were everything to everyone, and you saved everyone. Above all of these you have acquired love, which is a bond of perfection, and with that, as if by the power of the Divine, you have united all the gifts in one person in one, and there you have preached the love, shared and reconciling, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles to all the faithful. We are sinners, we each have our own talent, we are not imams of unity of spirit in the union of peace, we are vain, annoying each other, envious of each other; For the sake of this gift, our being divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation was added to us. Moreover, we fall to you, the saint of God, overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: with your prayers drive away from our hearts all pride and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, so that according to your prayerful words we may love each other and with one mind we confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Consubstantial and Indivisible, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk

Troparion, tone 8:

From your youth you loved Christ, O blessed one, you were an image in word, life, love, spirit, faith, purity and humility, and in the same way you dwelt in the Heavenly abodes, where you stand before the Throne of the Most Holy Trinity, pray to Saint Tikhon to save our souls.

Kontakion, tone 8:

The successor of the apostles, the adornment of the saints, the teacher of the Orthodox Church, the Lady of all, pray to grant greater peace to the universe and great mercy to our souls.

Oh, all-praised saint and saint of Christ, our Father Tikhon! Having lived like an angel on earth, you, like a good angel, appeared in your wondrous glorification. We believe with all our souls and thoughts that you, our merciful helper and prayer book, with your honest intercessions and grace, abundantly given to you from the Lord, are constantly contributing to our salvation. Accept therefore, blessed servant of Christ, even at this hour our unworthy prayer: free us through your intercession from the vanity and superstition that surrounds us, the unbelief and evil of man. Strive, speedy representative for us, to beg the Lord with your favorable intercession, may He add His great and rich mercy to us, His sinful and unworthy servants, may He heal with His grace the incurable ulcers and scabs of our corrupted souls and bodies, may He dissolve our petrified hearts with tears of tenderness and contrition for our many sins, and may He deliver us from eternal torment and the fire of Gehenna: may He grant to all His faithful people in this present world peace and silence, health and salvation and good haste in everything, and so, a quiet and silent life after living in With all piety and purity, let us be worthy, together with the angels and with all the saints, to glorify and sing the All-Holy Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

Venerable Ephraim the Syrian

Troparion, tone 8:

In you, father, it is known that you were saved in the image: / accept the Cross, you followed Christ, / and you taught in action to despise the flesh, for it passes away, / but the deceits of the souls, things more immortal. / In the same way, your spirit will rejoice with the angels, Reverend Ephraim.

Troparion, tone 8:

With your tears you cultivated the barren desert, and you brought forth fruit from the depths with sighs of a hundred labors, and you were a lamp of the universe, shining miracles, Ephraim, our father, pray to Christ God to save our souls.

Kontakion, voice 2:

Ever foreseeing the hour of judgment, you wept bitterly, Ephraim, as if you were a loving and silent one, but you were an active teacher in matters, O Reverend. In the same way, universal father, you lift up the lazy to repentance.

O saint of Christ, our Father Ephraim! Bring our prayer to the merciful and all-powerful God and ask us, God’s servants (names), from His goodness for everything that is for the benefit of our souls and bodies: rightful faith, undoubted hope, unfeigned love, meekness and kindness, courage in temptations, patience in suffering , prosperity in piety. Let us not turn the gifts of the All-Good God into evil. Do not forget, miracle-working saint, this holy temple (house) and our parish: preserve and protect them with your prayers from all evil. To her, Holy One of God, grant us a good end and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, so that we may glorify the wondrous God in His saints, to Him belongs all glory, honor and power, forever and ever. Amen.

To the Righteous King David, the Psalmist

Troparion, voice 2:

We celebrate the memory of Your prophet David, Lord, and thus we pray to You: save our souls.

Kontakion, tone 4:

Enlightened by the Spirit, your pure heart, the prophecies became your brightest friend: see that the real one exists far away: for this reason we honor you, blessed prophet, glorious David.

Remember, Lord, King David and all his meekness.

Oh, most praiseworthy and wonderful prophet of God, David! Hear us, sinners and indecent ones, who at this hour stand before your holy icon and diligently resort to your intercession. Pray for us, the Lover of Mankind, God, may He give us a spirit of repentance and contrition for our sins and, by His omnipotent grace, may He help us to leave the paths of wickedness, may we excel in every endeavor, may He strengthen us in the fight against our passions and lusts; may the spirit of humility and meekness, the spirit of brotherly love and kindness, the spirit of patience and chastity, the spirit of zeal for the glory of God and the salvation of our neighbors, implant into our hearts. Abolish with your prayers, prophet, the evil customs of the world, and especially the destructive and pernicious spirit of this age, infecting the Christian race with disrespect for the Divine More Orthodox Faith, to the statutes of the holy Church and to the commandments of the Lord, disrespect for parents and those in power, and casting people into the abyss of wickedness, corruption and destruction. Turn away from us, most wonderfully prophesied, by your intercession the righteous wrath of God, and deliver all the cities and towns of our kingdom from rainlessness and famine, from terrible storms and earthquakes, from deadly plagues and diseases, from the invasion of enemies and internecine warfare. Strengthen with your prayers Orthodox people, prosper them in all good deeds and undertakings to establish peace and righteousness in their power. Help the All-Russian Christ-loving army in battles with our enemies. Ask, prophet of God, from the Lord for our shepherds holy zeal for God, heartfelt concern for the salvation of the flock, wisdom in teaching and management, piety and strength in temptation, ask the judges for impartiality and selflessness, righteousness and compassion for the offended, for all those in authority to care for their subordinates, mercy and justice, while subordinates are submissive and obedient to authority and diligent in fulfilling their duties; Yes, having lived in peace and piety in this world, we will be worthy to partake of eternal blessings in the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom honor and worship are due, with His Beginning Father and the Most Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

Our unfortunate generation - all our roots were cut off, we grew up in unbelief, we made such mistakes in life that it’s scary to remember. And thank God - after all, grace has returned to us, and everything has become accessible and possible to us - both faith and prayer.

Sometimes I’m ashamed to tell you how I lived in my youth. And then life turned differently, and it brought me to church, and to holy baptism, and then I went down the aisle with my loved one. Only we didn’t have children, no matter how much I cried or prayed. My confessor wanted to help me, he looked for reasons in my past life- Why doesn’t the Lord bless me with children now? And he found it - once he asked me: had I had abortions before? She repented - she was a sinner, yes, it was once out of stupidity and youth. So these ruined babies lay like a stone on my heart and soul. This one terrible sin and the priest told me to pray, it turned out that there are special prayers for sinners like me. I prayed for a year – fervently, with tears. And every time after prayer I felt that I felt a little bit better. And a year later, the Almighty gave me a baby - when I felt that I was pregnant, I realized that I had received forgiveness. But I still didn’t leave those prayers - all my life I will pray for the souls of those unborn babies...
