Prayer rule against night and day desecration. Night defilements in women

(These are prayers for men when desecration occurs to them in a dream. Read only with the blessing of the confessor)

When someone happens to be tempted in a dream by the work of the devil, rising from his bed, he bows, saying:

God, be merciful to me, a sinner.

Then the beginning is usual:

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Three times)

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Lord, have mercy. (12 times)

Come, let us worship our King God. (Bow)

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. (Bow)

Come, let us bow and fall down to Christ Himself, the King and our God. (Bow)

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. To You alone have I sinned and done evil before You; for you may be justified in all of Your words, and you will always triumph over Your judgment. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

And troparia, tone 7:

Good Shepherd, who laid down Your soul for us, who knows the hidden things that I have done, O One Good One, save me with my erring mind, and snatch me from the wolf, Lamb of God, and have mercy on me.

Weighed down by the sleep of despondency, I am darkened by the delusion of sin: but grant me the morning of repentance, enlightening the eyes of my mind, O Christ God, enlightenment of my soul, and save me.

We weave the mind of my damned soul with the darkness of sin and the sweets of life, it gives birth to various passions, and the thought of tenderness does not come. But be generous, O Savior, with my humility, and give me a thought of compunction, so that we may save before the end I will cry out to Your compassion: Lord Christ my Savior, save me, desperate and unworthy.

Just as I fell into the hands of robbers and was vulnerable, so I fell into many sins, and my soul is vulnerable. To whom shall I resort when guilty: only to You, the merciful Physician of souls: pour out Your great mercy on me, O God.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Like the prodigal son came and I, Generous: receive me, Father, when I return, as one of Thy hired servant, O God, and have mercy on me.

And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Theotokos: Deliver, O Mother of God, from the sins that hold us back: for the imams have no other hope of faith except You, and the Lord born of You.

Lord have mercy (40 times).

Then 50 prostrations with prayer:

God, be merciful to me, and forgive me the prodigal for Your Holy Name.

Prayer 1, Saint Basil the Great

The packs were cursed by their minds and evil customs, working in sin. Paki, the prince of darkness and passionate sweets, the parent, has created me captivated, and like a humble slave, he forces me to work with desire and carnal desire. And what will I do, my Lord, both to the Deliverer and the Intercessor of those who trust in Thee, if not to Thee I will return and groan and ask for mercy for what I have done; but I am afraid and trembling, but not always confessing, and promising to retreat from the evil ones, and sinning every hour: and not having rendered my prayer to You, my God, I will raise Your long-suffering to indignation. And whoever endures Your wrath, O Lord; Knowing therefore the multitude of Your bounties, and the abyss of Your love for mankind, I again turn myself to Your mercy, and I cry to You: forgive those who have sinned. Have mercy on me, fallen, give me a helping hand, immersed in the mud of sweets. Do not, Lord, leave Your creation to be corrupted by my iniquities and my sins: but by Your usual mercy and goodness we compel you to deliver from feces and bodily filth and passionate thoughts, which always defile my accursed soul: for behold, Lord, as you see, there is no place in it she is clean, but she is all leprous, and her whole body is covered in ulcers. For yourself, O Lover of mankind, physician of souls and bodies and source of mercy, cleanse that flow of my tears, pouring them out on me abundantly: pour out Your love for mankind on me, and give me healing and cleansing, and heal my contrition, and do not turn Your face away from me , but not like a thing, the fire of despair will engulf me: but as You have declared, O unfalse God, that there is great joy in heaven for one sinner who repents, do this also for me, a sinner, and do not close the ear of Your compassion in the prayer of my repentance; but open them, and like a censer, correct it before You: weigh the weakness of nature to the Creator, and make comfortable the creep of youth, and the heaviness of the body, and despise sins, and accept the repentance of those who call upon You with the truth. For Your most honorable and magnificent name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, is blessed and glorified, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Complete collection and description: prayer against defilement in a dream for a woman for the spiritual life of a believer.

Prayers against defilement in a dream, by masturbation. When is the prayer for the night desecration of Basil the Great read?

Many processes occurring inside a person are beyond his control. This is understandable, because our flesh is a highly complex mechanism that operates according to the laws established by the Creator. But, having given man freedom, He endowed him with the ability to decide for himself - to maintain himself in spiritual and bodily purity or to indulge in defilement. In order to support a person in the fight against temptations, prayers were sent down to him against defilement.

Various interpretations of the concept of desecration

One of the most common forms of desecration of the flesh is male sin in the form of nocturnal ejaculations (emissions) or dreams of an erotic nature. It should be noted that the definition of this category of sin by modern clergy is largely at odds with how it was understood by many pillars of Christianity in past centuries.

Suffice it to remember that the famous Rules of St. Athanasius the Great say that an involuntary discharge caused by a dream in which a man saw scenes of his copulation with his lawful wife cannot be considered desecration. In this case, the prayer against desecration in a dream is not read, of course, unless we are talking about periods of fasting. It is also important to note that the generally recognized theologian recognizes not the ejaculation of semen itself as a sin - this is only an external consequence, but the desires that gave rise to it.

In the grip of sinful thoughts

According to the teachings of the Holy Fathers, the causes that give rise to involuntary outflows are divided into six main categories, and the last three are not considered sinful. When considering them, we usually start with carnal thoughts and lusts, since they are the most common.

Of course, sinful thoughts and the voluptuous desires they cause visit people of all ages, but young men and teenagers are most susceptible to them. Especially often the devil sets his nets for monks, who, due to the nature of their lifestyle, are deprived of natural marital relationships. In order to strengthen them in the fight against carnal temptations, there is a special monastic prayer against defilement, read both in cases of attacks from the evil one and for their prevention.

Deliberate stimulation of lust

Of course, both carnal thoughts and lusts can be caused by purely physiological reasons, for which there is no human fault, but the fact is that often, instead of trying to reduce their impact as much as possible, people deliberately inflame and stimulate them, ultimately finding satisfaction in handjob.

To do this, the devil presented them with a wide range of means and tools. This includes watching certain kinds of video materials, reading relevant literature, and talking about topics that are unworthy for a pious person to touch upon. In all these cases, especially if they are accompanied by masturbation, human guilt is undeniable.

To resist the devil’s machinations, there is a prayer against desecration by fornication, which everyone who is susceptible to this scourge can easily find in the Complete Prayer Book. However, it should be remembered that just reading the text is not enough. You need a sincere desire to defeat evil and tireless control over your own thoughts.

Path in the Devil's Network

Another cause of desecration is arrogance and pride. Here we should immediately make a reservation that in this case we are talking not only and not so much about nightly outpourings, but about the desecration of the human soul and body in general. To be convinced of this, it is enough to carefully consider both of these concepts, which carry a sinful basis.

High intelligence is not the ability to think in lofty categories, but only a consequence of an overly inflated assessment of one’s mental abilities. Pride is talked about often and a lot. Hardly anyone can doubt its harmfulness. Both one and the other property prompts a person to sometimes consider himself above generally accepted moral principles.

He, without hesitation, goes beyond the boundaries of what was intended by both religious and universal human norms, and therefore becomes an easy prey for the devil, who lures him into his nets. Unaware of the danger, even if for one reason or another he does not commit the physical act of adultery, he willingly indulges in it in his thoughts, which ultimately leads to outpourings that defile him. In this case, prayers against defilement will have a beneficial effect only if his forces are consciously aimed at eradicating the root causes of sin - arrogance and pride that overwhelm him.

In the grip of gluttony and drunkenness

The third reason for outpourings, considered sinful by the church, is gluttony and addiction to alcohol. They themselves are grave sins that give rise to a chain of harmful consequences. However, some clarifications should be made here, without which the further story will be incomplete.

The sin of misusing God's gifts

According to Christian canons, food is not something sinful. Without it, nothing living can exist. Sin is its excessive consumption, colloquially called gluttony. Not only priests, but also doctors warn about its harm to humans. Excessive calories provoke lust in a person, which results in thoughts and desires that cause nightly outpourings that defile a person.

Wine or any other alcoholic drink in itself is also not a sin. It is enough to remember how Christ, at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, turned water into wine, thereby blessing it. Sin is drunkenness, that is, the abuse of wine. It is quite obvious that under the influence of excessive amounts of alcohol, a person, having lost control over his thoughts and emotions, can become an easy prey for the devil, who directs his consciousness to sinful thoughts.

Wine and bread are gifts of God, but in both the first and second cases, you must first of all control yourself while eating, and even more so drinking alcohol, so as not to turn them into destruction for your soul. Only in this case, prayers against desecration, if the need arises for them, will bear fruit.

Natural and therefore sinless causes of ejaculation

In addition to the three reasons listed above for involuntary, mainly nocturnal ejaculation, there are three more that are caused by completely natural reasons and do not contain anything sinful that can defile a person. First of all, this is an absolutely normal manifestation of the activity of the male seminal glands.

The Lord himself designed our body in such a way that these important organs cannot remain inactive for a long time. If the product they produce turns out to be unclaimed, they simply throw it out at the first opportunity, and there is nothing unnatural about this. If mothers sometimes panic when they discover suspicious stains on their sons’ sheets, this is solely due to their ignorance. In this case, prayer against night defilement is inappropriate, of course, if the outpourings are not caused by masturbation.

Diseases and their consequences

Following further, it is necessary to mention such causes of wet dreams as physical weakness and illness. In this case, it is absurd to classify them as manifestations of sinfulness. The Christian Church, deeply humane in its essence, has always called for compassionate treatment of all those who suffer and suffer from illnesses. According to its canons, for example, even the most serious sin - suicide - is not charged if it is committed by a mentally ill person.

Illness and physical weakness are also sufficient grounds for complete exemption from fasting or for its significant mitigation. So, ejaculation caused by the weakness of the body of a sick person cannot in any case be blamed on him. In this case, as in what is described above, if prayers against desecration are read, they are of a purely preventive nature.

Attacks of Satan and the fight against them

And finally, another reason why men may experience erotic images in their night dreams, leading to involuntary ejaculation, is the devil’s pretexts. Sometimes the enemy of the human race, having lost hope of leading a person into temptation and inclining him to the path of sin, chooses a moment when his consciousness is paralyzed by sleep and is able to freely allow into himself any vision from which in a waking state he would certainly recoil.

In this case, the brain, captured by diabolical visions, involuntarily gives a command to all organs subordinate to it. The heart begins to beat faster, the chest heaves with intermittent breathing, and the seminal glands, deceived by a false alarm, prepare to release the product of their activity. For people susceptible to this scourge, the only effective means of struggle can be prayer against desecration of the body.

Prayer is an effective weapon in the fight against the evil one

From the works of the most ancient fathers of the church, it is known that from the first days of Christianity, after Jesus Christ destroyed the centuries-old kingdom of hell with His Resurrection from the dead, the forces of darkness constantly strive to turn His followers away from fulfilling the Divine commandments, one of which prescribes avoiding adultery, both physical and physical. as well as spiritual, created in our consciousness. To this end, the progenitor of evil strives to desecrate the souls and bodies of people, especially during the hours of night sleep.

To counter him and his army, numerous prayers were created, among which the most famous is the prayer against the night desecration of Basil the Great. Written in the 4th century, it delivered many generations of Christians from the depths of hell. They resort to it in especially serious cases. But not only it can become a worthy weapon in the fight for one’s own purity - spiritual and physical.

Experienced confessors recommend combining it with such well-known texts as the prayer-worship of the Heavenly King, the Fiftieth Psalm and the phrase “Lord have mercy!” pronounced forty times. In this combination, prayer against defilement is most effective. When the entire set of these sacred texts is read, the Grace of God is called upon to help the Christian soul, capable of snatching it from the hands of the evil one. This article talked about men and the temptations that await them. All of the above applies to a large extent to women, of course, adjusted for their physiological characteristics.

Prayers against defilement in a dream

If at night you had an erotic dream with an orgasm, or you were raped, or you were subjected to other influences of this nature - in Orthodoxy this is called desecration in a dream. In this case, in the morning you need to read the rule “defilement in a dream.”

Rule against desecration

When someone happens to be tempted in a dream by the action of the devil, standing up, make prostrations, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Trisagion

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Read three times, with the Sign of the Cross and a bow from the waist).

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Come, let us worship our King God. (Bow).

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. (Bow).

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. To You alone have I sinned and done evil before You; for you may be justified in all of Your words, and you will always triumph over Your judgment. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be white as snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your Face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked your way, and they will turn to you in wickedness. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

And troparia, tone 7:

Good Shepherd, who laid down Your soul for us, who knows the hidden things that I have done, O One Good One, save me from my erring mind, and rescue me from the wolf, Lamb of God, and have mercy on me.

We weave the mind of my damned soul with the darkness of sin and the sweets of life, it gives birth to various passions, and the thought of tenderness does not come. But be generous, O Savior, with my humility, and give me a thought of compunction, so that I, who am saved, before the end, will cry out to Your compassion: Lord Christ my Savior, save me, desperate and unworthy.

Just as I fell into the hands of robbers and was wounded, so I also fell into many sins, and my soul is wounded by it. I will resort to this only: to You, the merciful Physician of souls: pour out Your great mercy on me, O God.

Glory: Like the prodigal son, I came and am generous: receive me, O Father, who returns, as one of Thy hired servant, O God, and have mercy on me.

And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O Blessed Mary, the Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

Deliver, O Mother of God, from the sins that hold us back: for there is no other hope of faith except You, and from You the Lord born

Lord have mercy. (40 times)

Then 8 bows with prayer:

God, be merciful. And forgive me, the prodigal, for Your Holy Name.

Prayer 1, St. Basil the Great

The packs were cursed by their minds and evil customs, working in sin. Once again, the prince of darkness, passionate sweets, parent, create tribes for me, and like a humble slave, he forces me to work with his will and desire for carnal work. And what will I do, my Lord, both to the Deliverer and the Intercessor of those who trust in Thee, if not to Thee I will return and groan and ask for mercy for what I have done; but I fear and tremble, lest I always confess, and retreat from the evil, communing with each other, and sinning every hour: and not having rendered my prayer to Thee, my God, I have raised up Thy long-suffering to indignation. And whoever endures Your wrath, O Lord; Knowing therefore the multitude of Your bounties, and the abyss of Your love for mankind, I again turn myself to Your mercy, and I cry to You: forgive those who have sinned. Have mercy on me, a page, give me a helping hand, immersed in the mud of sweets. Do not, O Lord, leave Your creation to be corrupted by my iniquities and my sins: but by Your usual mercy and goodness we compel you to deliver from the feces of bodily defilement and passionate thoughts that always defile my accursed soul: behold, Lord; As you see, there is no place in her that is clean, but she is all leprous, and her whole body is covered in ulcers. For yourself, Lover of mankind, Physician of souls and bodies and Source of Mercy, cleanse the flow of my tears, pouring them out on me abundantly: pour out Your love for mankind, and give me healing and cleansing, and heal my contrition, and do not turn Your face away from me , but not as a thing will burn me with despair, but as You have declared, O unfalse God, that there is great joy in heaven for one sinner who repents, do this also for me, a sinner, and do not close the ear of Your compassion in the prayer of my repentance; but open them, and like a censer, set it right before You: weigh the weakness of nature, the creator, and make comfortable the creep of youth, and the heaviness of the body, and despise sins, and accept the repentance of those who call upon You with the truth. For Your most honorable and magnificent Name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, is blessed and glorified, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 2, his

Amen.

Prayer 4, St. John Chrysostom

Lord, do not deprive me of Your heavenly blessings. Lord save me from eternal torment. Lord, whether I have sinned in mind or in thought, in word or in deed, forgive me. Lord, deliver me from all ignorance and oblivion, and cowardice, and petrified insensibility. Lord, deliver me from every temptation. Lord, enlighten my heart, darken it from evil lust. Lord, I am like a man who has sinned. You, who are a generous God, have mercy on me, seeing the weakness of my soul. Lord, send Your grace to help me, that I may glorify Your holy name. Lord Jesus Christ, write me Your servant in the book of animals and grant me a good end. Lord my God, even if I have done nothing good before You, grant me, by Your grace, to make a good beginning. Lord, sprinkle the dew of Your grace in my heart. Lord of heaven and earth, remember me, Thy sinful servant, cold and unclean, in Thy Kingdom. Amen

Lord, accept me in repentance. Lord, don't leave me. Lord, do not lead me into misfortune. Lord, give me tears, and mortal memory, and tenderness. Lord, give me the thought of confessing my sins. Lord, give me humility, chastity and obedience. Lord, give me patience, generosity and meekness. Lord, instill in me the root of good things, Thy fear in my heart.

Prayer 5, to the Blessed Virgin Mary

To You, Most Pure Mother of God, I, the accursed one, fall down and pray: weigh. Queen, for I continually sin and anger Thy Son and my God, and many times when I repent, I find myself lying before God, and I repent in trembling: will the Lord strike me, and hour by hour I do the same; leading this, my Lady Lady Theotokos, as I am by no means in hatred of my evil deeds, and with all my thoughts I love the law of my God; But we don’t know, Most Pure Lady, where even I hate, I love, and transgress what is good. Don't let it go. The Most Pure One, my will to be fulfilled, is not pleasing, but may the will of Thy son and my God be done: may He save me, and enlighten me, and give me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that I may cease from here all filthiness, and so on may I live in the commandment of Thy Son, Him but all glory, honor and power belongs to His Father without beginning, and to His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

According to the canons of the Church, a prayer against desecration is read with the blessing of the confessor. The discharge is not necessarily the influence of evil spirits and sometimes occurs for physiological natural reasons. However, the actions of the person himself can also lead to desecration: abusing treats and alcoholic beverages, watching videos and images of nudity, through which the person is “inflamed.”

Prayer from desecration

Orthodox Christians in such cases read the prayer of St. Basil the Great.

Rule against desecration

Most merciful, imperishable, undefiled, sinless Lord, cleanse me, Thy unworthy servant, from all filthiness of the flesh and soul, and from my inattention and despondency the uncleanness that has come to me, along with all my other iniquities, and show me undefiled, O Master, for the goodness of Thy Christ , and sanctify me by the invasion of Your Most Holy Spirit: so that, having awakened from the darkness of the unclean ghosts of the devil and all kinds of filth, I may be deemed worthy with a clear conscience to open my unclean and unclean lips, and sing Thy all-holy name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

If the expiration occurred for sinful reasons, in addition, on the eve of Communion, the man is not allowed to receive the Holy Mysteries. But, if a layman does not see his guilt in desecration and was under the influence of evil spirits, Communion, on the contrary, is necessary for him. You should tell your confessor about the desecration.

Saint Timothy of Alexandria wrote about Communion in such cases:

If he is subject to the lust of his wife, he should not take communion; if Satan tempts him, so that for this reason he will be alienated from the communion of the Divine Mysteries, then he must receive communion. For otherwise the tempter will not cease to attack him at the time when he should partake” (canon 12).

If a discharge occurs in a person as a result of his illness, it is not imputed to him as a sin.

Rule against desecration

Whenever someone is tempted in a dream by the work of the devil, he gets up from his bed and bows, saying:

God, be merciful to me, a sinner.

The same beginning is usual:

Our Father... Lord, have mercy (12). Glory, even now. Come, let us bow... (three times). Have mercy on me, God...

And this troparia, tone 7

Good Shepherd, who laid down Your soul for us, who knows the hidden things that I have done, O One Good One, save me with my erring mind, and snatch me from the wolf, Lamb of God, and have mercy on me. Weighed down by the sleep of despondency, I am darkened by the delusion of sin: but grant me the morning of repentance, enlightening the eyes of my mind, O Christ God, enlightenment of my soul, and save me. We weave the mind of my damned soul with the darkness of sin and the sweets of life, it gives birth to various passions, and the thought of tenderness does not come. But be generous, O Savior, with my humility, and give me a thought of compunction, so that we may save before the end I will cry out to Your compassion: Lord Christ my Savior, save me, desperate and unworthy. Just as I fell into the hands of robbers and was vulnerable, so I fell into many sins, and my soul is vulnerable. To whom shall I resort when guilty: only to You, the merciful Physician of souls: pour out Your great mercy on me, O God.
Glory: As the prodigal son came and I, Generous: receive me, Father, when I return, as one of Thy hired servant, O God, and have mercy on me.
And now: Theotokos
Deliver, O Mother of God, from the sins that hold us back: for the imams have no other hope of faith except You, and the Lord born of You.
Also: Lord, have mercy (40). And 8 bows, with the prayer: God, be merciful to me, and forgive me the prodigal for Your Holy Name.

First prayer, Saint Basil the Great

The packs were cursed by their minds and evil customs, working in sin. Paki, the prince of darkness and passionate sweets, the parent, has created me captivated, and like a humble slave, he forces me to work with desire and carnal desire. And what will I do, my Lord, both to the Deliverer and the Intercessor of those who trust in Thee, if not to Thee I will return and groan and ask for mercy for what I have done; but I am afraid and trembling, but not always confessing, and promising to retreat from the evil ones, and sinning every hour: and not having rendered my prayer to You, my God, I will raise Your long-suffering to indignation. And whoever endures Your wrath, O Lord; Knowing therefore the multitude of Your bounties, and the abyss of Your love for mankind, I again turn myself to Your mercy, and I cry to You: forgive those who have sinned. Have mercy on me, fallen, give me a helping hand, immersed in the mud of sweets. Do not, Lord, leave Your creation to be corrupted by my iniquities and my sins: but by Your usual mercy and goodness we compel you to deliver from feces and bodily filth and passionate thoughts, which always defile my accursed soul: for behold, Lord, as you see, there is no place in it she is clean, but she is all leprous, and her whole body is covered in ulcers. For yourself, O Lover of mankind, physician of souls and bodies and source of mercy, cleanse that flow of my tears, pouring them out on me abundantly: pour out Your love for mankind on me, and give me healing and cleansing, and heal my contrition, and do not turn Your face away from me , but not like a thing, the fire of despair will engulf me: but as You have declared, O unfalse God, that there is great joy in heaven for one sinner who repents, do this also for me, a sinner, and do not close the ear of Your compassion in the prayer of my repentance; but open them, and like a censer, correct it before You: weigh the weakness of nature to the Creator, and make comfortable the creep of youth, and the heaviness of the body, and despise sins, and accept the repentance of those who call upon You with the truth. For Your most honorable and magnificent name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, is blessed and glorified, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Second prayer, Saint Basil the Great

Most merciful, imperishable, undefiled, sinless Lord, cleanse me, Thy unworthy servant, from all filthiness of the flesh and soul, and from my inattention and despondency the uncleanness that has come to me, along with all my iniquities, and show me undefiled, O Master, for the goodness of Thy Christ , and sanctify me with the invasion of Your Most Holy Spirit: for having aroused from the darkness of the unclean ghosts of the devil, and all kinds of filth, I may be deemed worthy with a clear conscience to open my unclean and unclean lips, and sing Thy all-holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and ever forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer three

Lord our God, who have sinned in these days in word, deed and thought, as He is Good and Lover of Mankind, forgive me. Grant me a peaceful and serene sleep. Send Your guardian angel, covering and keeping me from all evil, for You are the guardian of our souls and bodies, and we send glory to You, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

And deliver me from many and cruel memories and enterprises, and free me from all evil actions. For Thou art blessed from all generations, and glorified is Thy most honorable name forever and ever. Amen.

Also: Most honorable Cherub... Glory, even now. Lord, have mercy (three times). God bless.
And let go:
Lord Jesus Christ, our God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, save me, a sinner.

Prayer against desecration (this prayer is read by priests, not laity)

Lord our God, the only Good and Lover of mankind, the only Holy One and rest on the saints, Who was revealed to Your supreme Apostle Peter by vision, nothing foul or unclean to behold, from You created for food and for the enjoyment of man, and Your chosen vessel, the Apostle Paul is all pure commanded pure: You Yourself, the Most Holy Master, by invoking Your terrible and most pure name, and by the sign of the Honest and Life-giving Cross, bless and cleanse me, Your servant (name), defiled from every hostile spirit, from every dream and poisonous reptile, from every lawlessness and all flattery, from all indulgence and from all vanity, and from every ailment, and from every kind of illness, and from every nasty villainy of the devil. And now, through Your mercy, grant Thy servant, unworthy of me, to serve Thy most pure Mysteries. And first, cleanse my soul and body from all filth, and forsake every sin, voluntary and involuntary, that I have sinned all the days of my life, in deed, word and thought, in days and in nights, and until this hour. And grant me, Lord, this terrible service of the heavenly Orders, and the communion of Your most pure Mysteries, not for judgment or condemnation, but for the forgiveness of sins, and the coming of the Holy Spirit, and the life of ever-present joy, which You have prepared for Your true minister. Save me, Lord Almighty, from all sin and malice, keep me undefiled and blameless from all leprosy of the opposite devil: and grant me, Lord, to serve You in honor and righteousness until the last day and hour and the end of my life: for You are the One who blesses and sanctifies all things. O Christ our God, we send up glory to You with Your Beginning Father and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

About the expiration it is said in the “Alphabetical Syntagma” of Matthew Vlastar: “St. Dionysius of Alexandria in the 4th rule of those who experienced an involuntary expiration of semen at night, makes their own conscience incorruptible as the judge of this case: for if the expiration of semen happened involuntarily, without any previous one, or passionate excitement, when nature has singled it out as a surplus, then the one who has suffered this without hindrance proceeds to Divine Communion; and if it was preceded by some passionate thought, which, having established itself in the imagination, produced a vision at night, and this was followed by the ejaculation of semen, or if this happened as a result of drunkenness and overeating, such a person is not clean due to the eruption of semen, for semen is not unclean, like the flesh, of which it is a surplus, but because of an evil desire that has defiled the thought. Therefore, he who doubts this in his conscience is deprived of boldness; How can one who is disposed in this way approach God, for according to the great Paul: if you have doubts, you are condemned (Rom. 14:23) ... And the Great Basil, in his essay on asceticism, having been asked whether someone who had been defiled in a dream should dare to begin communion, answered that to approach someone in uncleanness to the holy mysteries is such a thing, the Last Judgment for which we know from the Old Testament; and if there is more holiness here, then, obviously, the apostle will teach us even greater fear, saying: he who eats and drinks is unworthy; judgment eats and drinks (1 Cor. 11:29); and the holy father called uncleanness not the eruption of semen, which, I think [according to the opinion of Zonara, in his interpretation of the letter of St. Athanasius the Great to the monk Ammun], no one can completely avoid, unless he is completely insensitive, but a bad desire, about which the Lord said: “Everyone will look at his wife,” and so on (Matthew 5:8), due to which sin is committed in thought through the pleasure of lust, and thus dreamy copulation occurs in a dream and the ejaculation of semen.”

Thus, it is impossible to neglect prayer against defilement, but, first of all, it is better to consult with your confessor about whether the desecration has sinful reasons, since the Church takes into account the reasons for which the expiration occurred.

Whenever someone is tempted in a dream by the work of the devil, he gets up from his bed and bows, saying:

Prayers against desecration are used by men if there is an affair outside of marriage or an accidental temptation at night. As a result, many are interested in the question of how to pray correctly. Desecration in the Orthodox faith is considered an exclusively male sin. The prayer against desecration is read with the blessing of one’s own confessor. But it should be remembered that sometimes purely physiological reasons can contribute to the leakage, and in this case it is not a sin. As a rule, purposeful actions of a man lead to desecration. This could be watching porn films, drinking alcohol and other addictions.

Prayer against defilement is given so that a person can be cleansed of the sin committed in a timely manner and it will not affect his future life. It is very important to realize your mistakes and sincerely repent.

The most famous prayer against desecration is the appeal to the Lord, composed by St. Basil the Great. It was written in the 4th century and has since delivered many men from the depths of hell. Prayer saves in especially difficult cases; it allows you to restore spiritual and physical purity.

If you contact your confessor, he will most likely recommend reading this prayer in combination with well-known prayers, such as the prayer of adoration of the Heavenly King and the Fiftieth Psalm. Moreover, these texts should be read exactly as they are written in the Gospel. After each prayer, it is imperative to say the phrase “Lord have mercy!” forty times.

In this combination, it will be possible to completely cleanse yourself spiritually and atone for the sin committed. This is due to the fact that the proposed set of prayer texts is capable of snatching any lost soul from the devil’s embrace.

The prayer of Basil the Great against desecration plays a huge role in the Orthodox faith as a whole. In prayer, believers turn to the famous saint who lived in the 4th century. He was a famous theologian and served as Archbishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia. This place is now located in Turkey.

Basil the Great, together with Gregory the Theologian and Gregory of Nyssa, were the ones who completed the processing of the teaching of the Holy Trinity. Research scientists attribute to this saint the invention of the iconostasis, as well as the composition of the famous liturgy. It was Basil the Great who created the morning rule obligatory for every Christian.

The text of the prayer against the desecration of Basil the Great in Russian is as follows:

“Much-merciful, incorruptible, sinless Lord Almighty, I pray to You to cleanse me, the sinful servant of God (my own name), from grave carnal and spiritual defilement, I ask You to drive away from me my inattention and despondency, which caused the impurity that came to me. Lord forgive other iniquities committed by me out of foolishness. Cleanse my soul and return it to its natural purity. Heavenly Lord, remove the filth of my soul, show your goodness, as the Great Lover of Humanity. Sanctify, Lord, my path in life with the coming of Your Holy Spirit. They gave away the darkness of the demons with their Divine power, and drove away from me all sorts of filth and demonic ghosts. At the hour of the Last Judgment, I will be honored to appear before you in spiritual purity. Grant me your goodness, so that I can glorify Your name in prayers until the end of my days. Amen".

Prayer against desecration by masturbation

In the Orthodox faith, masculinity also has another name - malakia. This is a type of sinful fornication that leads to the acquisition of pleasant sensations. At its core, masturbation is a waste of vital natural energy, which can be used by a believer for other, good purposes. That is why God requires a Christian to learn to manage his feelings and desires.

The church considers masturbation to be a punishable sin that must be prayed for. The clergy believe that such addiction can push a person to other sins. This means that by begging the Lord for the sin of fornication, you can learn forgiveness for other sins committed. Malakia is considered to be the product of evil spirits, and, therefore, has a negative impact on human spirituality. Masturbation is unnatural in nature, since the God-blessed fusion with the opposite sex does not occur. The Christian Church only allows relationships among couples who have legalized their relationship before God.

The prayer for masturbation sounds like this:

“Lord Almighty, Savior of the human race, All-merciful Lover of mankind, Jesus Christ, Son of God, I ask you to have pity on me and grant forgiveness. Help me get rid of my severe weakness and heal me with your grace from the vile and sinful addiction to masturbation. Save me and save me. Strengthen my will and grant your support. Don't let me fall into the terrible unforgivable sin. If I cannot resist this fornicating abomination, then it is better to kill me with your will. Have mercy on me, who sincerely repented, and show me the true path, so that I can glorify Your Holy Name in prayers. Amen".

Prayer against night desecration in a dream

Man is a very complex biological organism. Therefore, most of the processes occurring inside are very difficult to control. This is why situations arise for men when defilement occurs. The most common sin of the flesh is nocturnal ejaculation caused by a dream of an erotic nature.

In order to cleanse yourself of defilement and gain strength to fight new temptations, you should use special prayers.

If this does not happen often, then you can sincerely pray once, using the following text:

“Good shepherd, our merciful Lord, who laid down his soul for us sinners and helpless ones. Listen to my innermost confessions and forgive the sins I have committed. Fill my mind with bright thoughts, and do not allow the evil one to darken them with sinful delights. If something disgusting happened, then hear my repentance in the morning and grant the salvation of my soul. Save me, unworthy, and show me your kindness. Amen".

Prayers against defilement should become a daily mandatory rule for any man. They will allow you to keep your soul pure, avoid devilish temptations and maintain sincere faith. Prayer, which comes from the depths of the heart, can calm a person’s pride and arrogance, which is associated with overestimating one’s natural mental abilities. It is these traits that lead to a tendency to fall into sin. Both qualities often lead to the fact that a person strives to go beyond the boundaries of predetermined human and religious norms. In this case, he easily succumbs to devilish temptations. Not realizing the danger, a person indulges in adultery in his thoughts, which leads to outpourings that defile the soul. Prayer against defilement makes a person think about the essence of his being and realize the greatness of the Higher Powers that rule the world. But at the same time, it is very important to sincerely believe in the power of the prayer appeal used.
