Today, while walking around the city, I accidentally came across an interesting fair. Orthodox. They sold there, of course, candles, icons, honey, some canned food (apparently holy) and even demonic denim clothes, but that’s not the main thing. The main thing is prayers for every taste. More precisely, prayer services. Here is a short catalog - “On protection from visible and invisible enemies and expelling evil spirits”, “On the successful resolution of cases”, “On work and material well-being”, “On assistance in studying (for schoolchildren and students)” and even “On solving housing problems” question." And also “On the gift of a spouse”, “On the increase of wisdom (worldly and spiritual)”, etc.
Well, about visible and invisible enemies, expelling evil spirits and giving a spouse - this is a harmless matter. Christmastide, carols, fortune telling for the groom by water or a fence - this is when a girl must walk along the fence and count the stakes, saying: “Rich, poor, widower, single, businessman, member of United Russia...” At what word will the fence end? , so will the groom.
But as for the housing issue or help with studies, that’s more interesting. That is, one prayer replaces a lawyer, another a school and an institute. I ordered a prayer service - and it’s ready, strength of strength and other sciences are already in my head. I ordered another one - the rocket took off. And if it doesn’t take off, it means you ordered it from the wrong place. But that's what the fair is for - there are a lot of offers, some will have stronger prayers, those from St. Petersburg - that's right, and some will have cheaper ones, choose according to your taste, we now, God bless, have a market.
But a particularly promising area is, of course, medical prayers that heal a wide variety of diseases, including oncology. And these, as I realized after walking around the fair, are included in the price list of any religious institution. It’s good that we didn’t come across paid prayers for resurrection, although there’s no time for jokes about opium for the people, it’s time to call the prosecutor’s office, yes, I’m afraid they now also have a psalter instead of a criminal code.
Here's what's interesting. For many years, while fortune tellers, psychics and other crooks were banking on our TV, angry doctors regularly appeared on the screen and used terrible examples to prove that shamanic psychotherapy does not abolish science, and inflammatory processes are treated not with spells, but with antibiotics. This has been convincingly proven, scientifically.
And suddenly there is silence. Hospitals are filled with icons instead of diagnostic equipment, and doctors remain silent. Are they afraid of God? Or anyone else? Maybe a prayer is urgently needed for the sending down of medical wisdom and human courage?
However, we are small people, we’ll get by somehow. I am very worried about the top officials of the state. They will get sick from overwork, and they will be given the wrong prayer. So what are we going to do?
