How to pray the icon of the Mother of God "Hearkenness"?
Prayers The Divine Advancer of God is one of the strongest prayers in Orthodox dogma.
Therefore, when referring to the Mother of God through this image, you should follow certain rules:
- It is necessary to offer a prayer in front of the Saying Novice icon with a pure heart, soul and mind. It is not necessary in the process of prayer to think about enemies, to think about hatred and revenge, to wish anyone harm. The Virgin Mary listens only to those who turn to Her with good intentions;
- The standard text of the prayer is read necessarily. It is these texts that were compiled by our wise ancestors and, over many centuries of Orthodox Christianity, are so obnoxious that they have turned into a connecting energy link between the praying and the Highest forces. The canonical prayer text is recommended to be recited by heart. But if a prayer has memory problems, he can read the prayer book "Skoropluslushnitse" from the sheet. After reading the main prayer, you can ask about immediate needs in your own words;
- By the Mother of God should be treated with respect, befitting Her divine status. In no case can you demand anything - the Mother of God is not a servant of the worshiper. In the process of prayer, one should beg the Virgin and ask her to descend to the prayer of the sufferer — not otherwise;
- The prayer in front of the icon of "quick-witted person" should be read confidently and distinctly, but not loudly. Saints are more willing to heed the reverent whisper than to loud demands;
- In the process of prayer, in addition to the above-mentioned icon, it is recommended to use the religious symbols of Orthodox Christianity - a pectoral and wall cross, temple candles, consecrated incense, holy water, Holy Scripture;
- The one praying must be a Christian believer. No matter how powerful the prayer icon of the Hearted One would be, it will not bring the expected result if the worshiper doubts his faith even a little.
By offering a prayer to the Virgin Mary, following the rules described above, one can not only get what one wants, but also enlist the support of the Mother of God for the rest of his life.

Testimonies of the miracle of the quick-hearted icon
The legend says that in 1664 a certain monk-trapezar often walked around the icon "quick-hearted" with a lit torch. At some point, he heard a voice telling him not to smoke near the holy image. However, the monk did not heed the instructions, and after a while he went blind. The repast bitterly repented of his sin, and finally saw again, being forgiven by the Most Pure Virgin.
The modern wonders of the considered image of the Holy Virgin include the following:
- In 1999, a resident of Moscow, Svetlana Aksenova, was recognized by doctors as completely fruitless. The girl wanted children very much and daily the Mother of God prayed about this, kneeling before the image of the Quick Listener. After a while she was able to conceive, and later - and give birth to a healthy son;
- In 2007, Vladimir S., a resident of Chernigorod, flew an airplane to Turkey. The plane hit the storm front and the lightning hit the fuselage. It would not be possible to avoid a disaster if the sincere believer Vladimir would not offer up the prayer to the Virgin Mary on the icon of "quick-hearted", which he always carried with him as a talisman.
These traditions and testimonies of living eyewitnesses prove not only the miraculousness of the icon, but also the power of prayer, ascended in the presence of faith in a Higher Power.
