The prayer of Elder Pansophius of Athos, written in ancient times, can become a reliable shield from the machinations of enemies. She has great power against ill-wishers, resists any atrocities and manifestations of negativity.

For people who are not churchgoers, the earthly world is full of mysticism. When they come to the temple, they assume that there is both faith and magic. But the Church initially did not recognize witchcraft and sorcery - and these interventions in human souls included in the list of mortal sins.

Some people who previously believed in God began to deny Him. It is easier for them to believe in Satan and the devil; they believe that black magic, and not the Almighty Christ, can help in any problem. Of course, prayer does not help instantly, not at the “snap of a finger.” She is not Lifebuoy and not a ritual. Prayer is help and support from Heaven, and a person who sincerely believes in Christ can do the rest himself.

Detention Prayer

Prayer for the detention of Elder Pansophius of Athos - a forty-strong amulet

The Prayer of Detention is special kind prayer service, which is aimed at fighting evil spirits. The prayer text appeared relatively recently - it began to be used since 1848. The prayer itself is in the collection of prayers of Elder Pansophius of Athos.

This prayer is a very powerful tool that can be used to fight evil spirits, so you need to use it with prayer very carefully. First of all, you need to know that before reading this prayer you should definitely receive the blessing of a spiritual mentor. This is due to the fact that the text of the prayer contains phrases that in their meaning are close to the ruthlessness of the Old Testament.

It is very important to remember that the prayer of detention is a special sacrament. No one should be privy to the fact that you plan to use it. Of course, any of the Orthodox prayers is a personal matter, but the church never requires increased secrecy. But the excessive mystery of the prayer of abstinence brings it closer to a pagan ritual, which already carries with it some danger to the true faith.

The prayer of detention can be used:

To protect evil influences emanating from both people and otherworldly beings;
To protect against envy and the evil eye;
To protect against the actions of selfish and evil people;
To protect against meanness and cunning.

The history of prayer

The prayer of detention was written by the elder in 1848 Pansophius of Athos. It is quite natural to ask what enemies threatened the believers on Mount Athos. After all, monks and prayer books settled there with sincere faith in their souls. What could prompt the Elder to pray with all his might to God and all the saints, asking him to hold back time and forbid his enemies to commit evil?

The fact is that it was at that time that there were predictions about the end of the world in this period. And this greatly worried not only ordinary people, but also adherents of the faith who dedicated their lives to serving God.

In addition to predictions about the end of the world, there were other real dangers that worried the souls of people. So in 1846-1849 in Europe, a cholera epidemic raged in many cities, which carried away a large number of human lives. Russia also suffered from the epidemic. The first cases were recorded in 1846 in Transcaucasia, where the infection came from Persia. Within a year, the disease had spread throughout Russia, and its severe consequences were aggravated by famine.

In addition, in the period 1845-1849. There was a great famine in Ireland, which was caused by Great Britain supplying potatoes contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms. The entire harvest in the country suffered from this.

Around this time, the great migration to America began. The path across the ocean was very difficult, so many of the migrants died, unable to withstand the hardships. In those days, ships heading to Canada and America were often called “floating coffins.” Europe at that time was engulfed in a revolutionary movement. This gave rise to enmity between peoples, which led to great casualties.

All such events could not leave the monks indifferent, who served the Lord God in solitude on Athos. It was on the basis of indifference to everything that was happening in the world that the prayer of detention was written by Elder Pansophius of Athos.

How to read this prayer correctly (read 40 times)

There are several mandatory rules that should be considered when reciting the prayer of detention. First of all, you need to remember that you cannot offer prayer in a temple. This is a secret rite, so you need to pray in absolute solitude and should not let anyone in on your plans.

This is evidenced by the order of Elder Pansofia, which sounds as follows:

For prayer, it is necessary to organize a special place in which icons should be installed and candles should be lit. It is important to ensure absolute silence in the room. You can read the prayer in the evening and morning hours. It is important to pronounce every word of the prayer text clearly and distinctly. This means that you first need to learn the prayer by heart. It is important to be aware of every phrase spoken.

Another mandatory requirement is to be in a balanced and calm state. Under no circumstances should you throw out negative emotions during the prayer process.

The prayer for the detention of Elder Pansofia is read every day for nine days, and the text is repeated nine times. It is prohibited to be distracted by extraneous thoughts or actions or pause. It is believed that in this case the praying person wastes energy, and, consequently, efficiency. prayer appeal decreases. If for any reason a mistake was made while reading the prayer, then the prayer must be read again.

It is important to understand that in order for prayer to have maximum impact, it is recommended that before reading the prayer text, turn to God in any form and ask him for protection and help. Such a prayer request to the Almighty will help create an aura of love and well-being and will become a real amulet for the praying person, eliminating any unpleasant consequences when reading the prayer of detention. No other special preparation is required for the protective prayer.

Orthodox prayer book - prayer of detention from all evil

Text in Russian – full version of the prayer

Interpretation of prayer words

The prayer of detention from Elder Pansophius is quite difficult to interpret, because its meaning after reading becomes self-explanatory. The prayer text was written on behalf of a person who considers himself surrounded on all sides by enemies. Moreover, the prayer contains the statement that they can be both visible and invisible. This means that prayer can become a protective tool both from the actions of evil people and from the machinations of otherworldly evil forces.

The actions of real forces in prayer are scrupulously listed. The text indicates that enemies can do harm by condemning, slandering, being angry, roaring, blaspheming, humiliating and despising a person. Enemies standing around are harboring evil plans for relocation, dismissal, displacement. Enemies also seek to expel him and destroy him.

It becomes clear that by sincerely offering such a prayer one can successfully resist real evil. As a rule, such a prayer is read when a person subconsciously feels a threat emanating from people around him.

The effectiveness of prayer is enhanced already at the beginning of the prayer text when turning to the Merciful God. Here we remember the action from old testament, when God stopped the movement of the Sun and Moon for a whole day to give the people of Israel the opportunity to take revenge on their enemies. Various actions that he performed through the mouth of the prophets are also listed. After such a listing, there is a request to delay and slow down all the actions of the enemies of the praying person.

Contained in prayer and appeal to the Saints:

Venerable Great Elius of Egypt, who lived in the 4th century. He had the gift of clairvoyance and could control animals. Once he was able to protect the place where his disciple was settling with the sign of the cross, after which he commanded, with the name of the Lord on his lips, not to be afraid of demonic temptations.
The Monk Poplia of Syria, who, being a Syrian ascetic, was able to keep the demon motionless for ten days with his unceasing prayer.
To the venerable virgin Piama, living in the 4th century. She was able, through the power of prayer, to stop the enemies who were heading to destroy the inhabitants of her village.
Blessed Lawrence of Kaluga, who lived in the 16th century, who with the power of his words was able to encourage the soldiers who defended Kaluga from the invasion of the Tatars and give them the strength to win.
Reverend Vasily of Pechersk, who lived in the 9th century in the Near Caves of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. His prayers had enormous power.

A slightly pagan slant has an appeal to everyone Russian lands, which should help dispel the demonic spell around a praying person. But after this there is an appeal to the Archangel Michael, who leads the army of the Lord. The prayer text contains a request to cut with a fiery sword everyone who wants harm to the human race, those who direct evil against the praying person.

At the end of the detention prayer there is an appeal to the Mother of God depicted in the “Unbreakable Wall” icon. This image of the Most Pure Mother of God is one of the greatest shrines of Orthodoxy. It is believed that Prayer before the icon Mother of God"Unbreakable Wall" grants reliable protection and patronage Holy Mother of God. If you hang the icon opposite the front door, then a person with evil intentions will not be able to enter the house.

IN modern world a person is not protected from troubles, enemy intrigues and gossip, and other threats. To unchurched people, the dangers of the earthly world seem mystical, but the church does not recognize magic, considering it a mortal sin. Recently, a friend of mine was faced with the machinations of enemies who were jealous of the success of his business. He was already ready to use the services of sorcerers, but one God-fearing old woman advised him to resort to the help of the Prayer of Detention, which creates a reliable shield from the machinations of ill-wishers.

When we started searching for a prayer text that would protect us from adversity and sorrow, my friend and I discovered a lot of conflicting information.

There is no consensus among clergy regarding the sacred words, since the appearance of the prayer book dates back to approximately 1848. The clergy are concerned about the obligatory condition of the deep secrecy of the prayer service, which gives the prayer act a pagan or magical connotation.
Unprecedented popularity among masses secret appeal to the Heavenly Father is associated with the powerful effect of sacred words, protecting the petitioner with a shield from the attack of all evil. To find a way out difficult situation It is important to read the prayer text with sincere faith in the help of the Heavenly Forces.

Attention! In view of the special power, but also the danger of prayer word forms, it is necessary to obtain the blessing of a priest to read the Prayer of Detention. The ruthlessness of a number of verbal expressions of the petition comes into conflict with Orthodox canons.

The history of the emergence of protective prayer

The very strong Prayer of Detention is classified as a forty-strong amulets that neutralize the effects of negative energy. The words of the sacred conspiracy protect against all evil, all types of negativity, in return endowing the petitioner with the power of faith and confidence in the victory of the forces of light. But the help of strong prayer is not momentary; the secret text cannot be considered a lifeline or ritual; it is powerful support for the believer from Heaven.

The authorship of the prayer spell against all evil is attributed to the righteous elder Pansophius of Athos. The sacred text of the prayer restraining evil was a bright fighter against evil spirits by the Lord himself to restrain the actions of the Devil by the power of God. However, modern man The question may arise about the motive that prompted the monk from the holy Mount Athos to turn to the Lord and the Holy Saints with a bold request to hold back time and impose a ban on the atrocities of enemies.

The explanation is connected with predictions of the end of the world in 1848, which caused unrest among ordinary people, alarm in the ranks of adherents of the faith. What worried the souls of ordinary people on the eve of the preparation of a very strong Prayer of Detention:

the consequences of the raging cholera epidemic that came from Persia and eventually spread throughout Europe and Russia;
the consequences of famine, which claimed many innocent lives along with a cholera epidemic that devastated villages;
the consequences of revolutionary events in France, which gave impetus to liberal uprisings in other European countries;
the consequences of the great migration to the lands of America, which led to the mass death of migrants due to the severity of the journey.

In Russia, the period of troubles was 1848-1849. was marked by police repressions aimed at extinguishing the growing revolutionary protest and discontent of the masses. The monks who had retired from the world, serving the Almighty on the holy Mount Athos, could not remain indifferent to the fall of the world into the abyss of evil. Therefore, the Lord vouchsafed Pansophius of Athos to write the text of a very strong “prayer shield” from the influence of difficult everyday situations.

When turning to the Prayer of Detention for help, it is important not to forget about the order of the Athonite monk - one should perform a prayer of enormous power in secret from human sight and hearing. Compliance mandatory condition guarantees strengthening of word forms of the prayer service.

The essence of prayer

The miraculous text against all evil is difficult to interpret, and the meaning of the words becomes clear only after thoughtful reading. The verbal message, addressed to the mercy of God and the Saints (venerable and blessed), is formed on behalf of a person asking for protection, who imagines himself surrounded by a dense ring of enemies.

The petition states that enemy machinations can be both obvious and hidden, implying the machinations of adherents of otherworldly influence.

during the machinations of otherworldly forces, to form a protective barrier against damage, the influence of people with the evil eye or cunning thoughts;

In the modern world, shrouded in the secrets of mysticism, faith in the All-One God is sometimes replaced by rites of sorcery, and witchcraft conspiracies are called prayers. However, prayers, which are a conversation with God, are designed to improve a person’s life. But the sacred text of Elder Pansophius contains a call for the punishment of offenders with the inclusion of the praying person in the ranks of the sinless. Thus, the person reading the prayer expects God to fulfill his desires. It is in order to neutralize negative trends and give the prayer service a repentant message that the blessing of the priest is required before turning to God with the Prayer of Detention.

Important. Following a prayer ritual requires caution; the ritual can change the fate of the person who uses it. The person asking for protection must necessarily be baptized, since the text is addressed, among other things, to the Guardian Angel, which is absent from an unbaptized person.

I would like to hear feedback on whether it is really possible to delay all evil this way

I know first-hand from a priest that the prayer of detention is pagan and it is not advisable for us to read it.

Yana, you got some kind of incompetent priest! If prayer is in the prayer book, what else are we talking about!

All the most effective prayers are long, IMHO. In order to make any sense, you have to make an effort.

Did you come up with this yourself Lina? The length of the text has nothing to do with the effect of the prayer.

I'm more interested in what kind of evil she's holding back. that is, does it help, for example, from all sorts of ill-wishers

If I understand correctly, everything that is written here, then this is precisely the main purpose of prayer.

I’ll print out the text for myself, because of course it’s impossible to remember it from memory. I will read every day

the prayer has a strange name, in church I asked a woman selling candles and said that this was the first time she had heard about its existence

Thank you for the text of the prayer tomorrow I will print it on paper so it’s easier to read in front of the icon!

in the fight against evil, the prayer of detention will not help with my husband, only a psychiatrist can handle it :)

This is for stopping external evil, not internal. No prayer will probably save you from this.

Do you think there will be less evil? I doubt.

I don’t see anything wrong with using prayer against evil at home; priests don’t know everything about church canons.

Evil is everywhere, so why can’t you try to get rid of it yourself? What if it’s possible under the supervision of a priest?

The prayers of Elder Pansophius protect from all evil and evil spirits

Prayer of Detention from all evil

The modern Russian Church denies the appropriateness of the prayers of Elder Pansophius and considers them similar to magical spells. The clergy believe that the prayer of detention is addressed by people who, through their prayers, have not received what they want and are looking for any way to fulfill their whim.

Below we present its text:

“Merciful Lord, You once through the mouth of the servant Moses, Joshua,

He delayed the movement of the Sun and Moon all day long,

How long did the people of Israel take revenge on their enemies?

With the prayer of Elisha the prophet, he once struck the Syrians, delaying them, and healed them again.

You once told the prophet Isaiah: behold, I will bring back the shadow of the sun ten steps,

Which walked along the steps of Ahazov, and the sun returned ten steps along the steps along which it had descended.

You once, through the mouth of the prophet Ezekiel, closed the abysses, stopped the rivers, and held back the waters.

And You once stopped the mouths of the lions in the den through the fasting and prayer of Your prophet Daniel.

And now delay and slow down until the right time all the plans around those standing by me about my displacement, dismissal, removal, expulsion.

So now, destroy the evil desires and demands of all those who condemn me,

Stop the mouths and hearts of all those who slander, are angry and growl at me, and all who blaspheme and humiliate me.

So now, bring spiritual blindness into the eyes of all those who rise up against me and against my enemies.

Didn't you tell the Apostle Paul: Speak and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will harm you.

Soften the hearts of all those who oppose the good and dignity of the Church of Christ.

Therefore, let not My mouth be silent to reprove the wicked and glorify the righteous and all Your wondrous works.

And may all our good undertakings and desires be fulfilled.

To you, righteous women and prayer books of God, our daring intercessors, who once held back the invasion of foreigners by the power of their prayers,

The approach of the haters, who destroyed the evil plans of people, who stopped the mouths of lions, now I turn with my prayer, with my petition.

And You, the venerable great Elius of Egypt, who once fenced the place of your disciple’s settlement in a circle with the sign of the cross,

He commanded him to arm himself with the name of the Lord and from now on not to be afraid of demonic temptations.

Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves' attacks and all evil and insurance.

And you, Reverend Father Poplie of Syria, who once with your unceasing prayer kept the demon motionless for ten days and unable to walk either day or night

Now, around my cell and this house (my) keep behind its fence all the opposing forces and all those who blaspheme the name of God and despise me.

Lord, Judge of the Universe, You, who are displeased with all untruths, when this prayer comes to You, may the Holy Power stop them at the place where it overtakes them.

And You, blessed Lavrenty of Kaluga, pray to God for me, as one who has boldness before

The Lord will intercede for those suffering from the wiles of the devil.

Pray to God for me, may He protect me from the wiles of Satan.

And You, Reverend Vasily of Pechersk, perform your prayers of prohibition over those who attack me and drive away all the machinations of the devil from me.

And you, all the saints of the Russian land, with the power of your prayers for me, dispel all the demonic spells, all the devil’s plans and intrigues - to annoy me and destroy me and my property.

And You, great and formidable guardian, Archangel Michael, cut off with a fiery sword all the desires of the enemy of the human race and all his minions who want to destroy me.

Stand inviolably on guard over this house, all those living in it and all its property.

And You, Lady, not in vain called the “Unbreakable Wall”, be for all those who are hostile against me and plotting dirty tricks

Create for me, truly, a kind of barrier and an indestructible wall, protecting me from all evil and difficult circumstances.”
