How St. Seraphim heals. Hieromonk Tryphon. Miracles of the last time. (Stories from life for adults and children about miraculous healings, visions, God's help, punishments)

The easiest way to determine the level of blood pressure is with a tonometer. But not always with a sharp deterioration in the condition, the device is at hand. What to do in this case and how to understand: high blood pressure, or low? There are certain symptoms and visual signs of pathology that are useful for people over 30 to know.

Previously, normal blood pressure was calculated using the Volynsky formula. Systolic pressure = 109 + (0.5 x age) + (0.1 x weight), diastolic = 63 + (0.1 x age) + (0.15 x weight). Now, according to WHO guidelines, blood pressure is considered normal 120-130 / 80-85, optimal 100-120 / 60-80, and elevated within the normal range - 130-140 / 85-90. An increase in rates to 140/90 may indicate the presence of pathology.

As the human body ages, irreversible processes occur in it, causing an increase in blood pressure, so scientists have determined the age limits of the norm. In this case, blood pressure, which is a pathology for a young man, will be a variant of the norm for an elderly person. A sign of hypotension is considered to be a pressure of 100/60 or lower. It is possible to distinguish high blood pressure from low blood pressure by the corresponding symptoms.

Symptoms of hypertension

Doctors with extensive experience clearly know how to identify high blood pressure by symptoms and objective signs. The most informative criterion for hypertension is headache caused by prolonged contraction of cerebral vessels. Also, signs that the pressure has increased can be: dizziness, floating dots before the eyes, a state of complete weakness, a feeling of heaviness in the head, tachycardia, sleep disturbance.

These symptoms are characteristic of the initial stage of hypertension. As the disease progresses, heart failure may appear, provoked by chronic overwork of the muscles of the organ. In this case, it is necessary to prescribe a certain drug that reduces pressure.

Among the complications of hypertension: vascular damage, decreased quality of vision, in severe cases - a decrease in the sensitivity of the arms and legs, paralysis caused by blockage of the vessel by a thrombus or cerebral hemorrhage.

Other symptoms of high blood pressure include:

• Nosebleeds.
• Discomfort in the eyeballs.
• Nausea.
• Insomnia.
• Puffiness.
• Hyperemia of the skin of the face.
• Memory deterioration.
• Increased fatigue.

A mild degree of hypertension does not manifest itself in any way, and the patient can find out about it quite by accident during a follow-up examination. Often, even a severe degree of the disease can be well tolerated by the patient if it has developed without sharp jumps in blood pressure, and the person has managed to adapt to it. Unpleasant symptoms occur if the pressure rises suddenly. In this case, the patient will complain of characteristic pain in the back of the head, dizziness and unsteadiness, tinnitus.

Signs of hypotension

The main signs of hypotension are pallor, irritability, lowering body temperature to 35.8-36°C. The patient feels completely overwhelmed, his productivity decreases, his memory and ability to concentrate deteriorate.

Also, one of the signs of low blood pressure can be a headache, which is caused by excessive stretching of the arteries. If the pain is associated with a violation of the outflow of blood due to a decrease in vascular tone, then it occurs in the back of the head and happens mainly in the morning, upon awakening. After the patient takes a vertical position, the outflow of blood is facilitated, and the discomfort gradually disappears.

In addition, with hypotension, many dyspeptic symptoms are not uncommon: nausea, heartburn, heaviness in the stomach, flatulence, loss of appetite. On the part of the reproductive system with reduced pressure, irregularity, scarcity and soreness of menstruation in women, and a decrease in potency in men are observed.

Patients with hypotension feel tired in the morning. They have difficulty getting up and feel sleepy during the day. Restoration of working capacity occurs only by 11 o'clock, and after lunch it falls again. The greatest activity is observed in such people in the evening hours. They feel a rapid heartbeat with moderate physical exertion, sometimes there is shortness of breath and discomfort in the region of the heart.

Hypotension patients cannot stand or sit for a long time, so they prefer to walk rather than ride in a stuffy, crowded transport. They can't stand shopping or other public places. During walking and light physical activity, the state of hypotension temporarily normalizes. This is due to the fact that low pressure leads to a deterioration in the blood supply to the muscles, and with exercise it improves, blood pressure rises slightly and the person's condition stabilizes. Therefore, the best medicine for hypotension is physical activity, if he is not lazy and walks regularly.

Signs of pressure deviation from the norm

An experienced doctor can quite accurately assess the level of blood pressure by pressing the pulse. A person who is far from medicine needs experience to understand which pressure can be considered weak and which can be considered strong. In order to assess the level of blood pressure without a tonometer, you can use subjective and objective signs of the presence of pathology:

1. Behavior. A hypertensive person differs from a person with low blood pressure in fussiness, unmotivated excitement, and talkativeness.
2. Skin color of the face. A “flaming” or brick-colored face with a pronounced vascular pattern gives out high blood pressure. And if the patient's face, on the contrary, is pale and lifeless, this indicates hypotension.
3. Belly size. A large belly often indicates not only malnutrition and aging of the body, but also increased blood pressure.
4. Redness of the eyeballs. It is also a sign of hypertension, especially if the face itself is thick and red.
5. Palm test. You can check your blood pressure with a simple test. To do this, raise your hand above your head, at a distance of about 3 cm from its surface. If at the same time heat is felt in the palm, then the pressure is increased.
6. Pulse. A person is more likely to have hypertension if it does not go away with intense pressure on the wrist. Conversely, if the pulse ceases to be heard with a slight pressure, then hypotension is most likely present.

If all these indicators are present in the complex, then we can confidently judge high blood pressure, especially if all these symptoms are determined in an elderly person. Among the subjective signs can be noted: dizziness, a feeling of heat in the face, nausea, heartburn, lack of air, heart and headaches, impaired visual function. Self-diagnosis is applicable only in special conditions, if it is impossible to use a tonometer or consult a therapist.

An experienced doctor is able to tell at a glance who is in front of him - hypertensive or hypotensive. It is quite possible to increase or decrease blood pressure with the help of appropriate measures, therefore it is important to determine the pathological condition in a timely manner.

Physiological hypotension does not require treatment. To improve well-being, you can use means that increase vascular tone: extract of eleutherococcus, ginseng, "Pantokrin". Useful moderate exercise, sleep and wakefulness, the inclusion in the diet of foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Hypertension will help the normalization of nutrition and regular intake of drugs that lower blood pressure.

From this article you will learn: what indicators of blood pressure should be taken as low pressure, why this happens and what threatens How to raise the pressure to normal numbers.

Low pressure indicators are less than 100/60 mm Hg. Art. With such parameters, blood circulation in the vessels is sharply reduced, which leads to impaired blood circulation in all internal organs, primarily vital ones - the heart and brain. This phenomenon is called hypotension.

Indicators of the norm and deviations of blood pressure

If the lowering of blood pressure is in the nature of an emergency, there are symptoms of critical disorders in the body that threaten a person's life. About 15-25% of people live with hypotension for years, and sometimes decades, without feeling any manifestations and complaints.

Emergency care in emergency situations of lowering blood pressure is required to provide any physician. In all other cases, it is best to contact a general practitioner or family doctor. These specialists will be able to fully assess the situation and determine the most likely reason why it arose.

Depending on the cause of the problem, patients are referred to other specialists: to a cardiologist, surgeon, endocrinologist, neuropathologist. The required volume and effectiveness of treatment are very unpredictable: from elementary techniques that will bring blood pressure back to normal in a few minutes, to surgical intervention with hospitalization in the intensive care unit, or lifelong adherence to treatment recommendations that will not always bring the desired result.

What pressure indicators are considered low

The answer to the question: how much is low pressure is ambiguous. The generally accepted safe lower limit of normal blood pressure for systolic and diastolic values ​​is 100/60 mm Hg. Art. But in practice, one has to deal with situations when they are much lower, but at the same time a person does not feel any discomfort and leads an active lifestyle.

According to classical concepts, hypotension is accompanied by circulatory disorders in the form of:

• Deceleration of blood flow through large vessels.
• Decreased microcirculation through the capillaries.

This impairs the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to all internal organs, which disrupts their normal functioning. The brain and heart are most vulnerable to hypoxia (oxygen starvation).

Due to the adaptive reactions of the body, a decrease in blood pressure is not always accompanied by signs of microcirculation disorders and oxygen starvation, but only under certain circumstances.

Physiological or pathological hypotension - all individually

If a person's blood pressure is below 100/60 mm Hg. Art. does not cause any symptoms and signs of impaired blood circulation, this can be perceived as a variant of the norm - physiological hypotension. It is an individual feature and is more often observed in young women (from adolescence to 40-45 years) for many years.

Types of arterial hypotension

Therefore, some experts recommend taking 90/60 mm Hg beyond the lower limit of the normal pressure. Art. Whether this is true or not is difficult to judge. After all, it has been established that, despite the absence of pathological manifestations, people with persistent hypotension throughout their lives are more susceptible to various diseases: anemia, decreased immunity, neurogenic disorders, arrhythmia. About 85% of them after the age of 45 become hypertensive with a strong increase in pressure, which is resistant to drug treatment.

Eliminating habitual hypotension can be extremely difficult and not always safe. This is due to the fact that all body systems that regulate blood pressure (nervous, autonomic, hormonal) have adapted to keep it at a low level for a long time. They have established such a balance among themselves, in which the body does not experience pronounced changes. If you artificially try to increase the pressure, this balance is destroyed and a hypotensive person develops pronounced disorders even at 100/60 mm Hg. Art., not to mention higher.

Pathological hypotension is considered if it is accompanied by complaints and characteristic disorders. This happens more often in people with normal or high blood pressure, when it drops downward. At the same time, the brain and heart experience oxygen starvation, which is the reason for the main symptoms of hypotension.

Causes of the problem

Low pressure always caused by a violation of the mechanisms of its regulation. In the table they are described with indication of causes and diseases.

Pressure Reducing Mechanisms	Causes and diseases
Decreased amount and volume of blood	Bleeding: gastrointestinal, uterine, wounds
	Dehydration: insufficient intake of water and salt, diarrhea, vomiting, overheating, excessive sweating
Decreased pumping function of the heart	Heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmia, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy
Decreased hormonal activity of the endocrine glands	Thyroid - hypothyroidism
	Adrenal - hypocorticism (Addison's disease)
	Pituitary and hypothalamus
Violation of the nervous regulation of vascular tone	Condition after nervous shocks and psychosis, change in body position (if you get up very abruptly from a lying or sitting position), being in a stuffy, cramped or poorly ventilated room
	Vegetovascular dystonia, hereditary features of the regulation of vascular tone
	Stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, tumor
Redistribution of blood in the body - excessive expansion of small vessels	Poisoning and intoxication against the background of infections, ulcers, injuries and burns, alcohol abuse, work with toxic substances
	Overdose of antihypertensive drugs: Nitroglycerin, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, antispasmodics (no-shpa, dibazol), beta-blockers, calcium inhibitors.
allergic reactions	Household, food allergens, treatment with any medications

Causes of low pressure

The extreme degree of pressure drop (below 80–90/50–60 mm Hg), accompanied by very severe microcirculation disorders, is called shock. He can be:

• hemorrhagic - the result of blood loss;
• cardiogenic - dysfunction of the heart;
• infectious-toxic - poisoning, intoxication;
• traumatic - a consequence of a severe injury;
• anaphylactic - an allergic reaction.

It is important to understand that low blood pressure is not only the result of various pathological processes and influences. A slight hypotension (less than 90/60 mm Hg) that has arisen for one of the possible reasons can cause critical circulatory disorders in the heart and brain, from which the indicators will decrease even more.

Possible symptoms

A person whose pressure has decreased may notice the following symptoms and complaints:

• dizziness;
• headache;
• impaired coordination of movements, general weakness;
• pale skin, sweating;
• frequent or rare pulse;
• feeling of heartbeat;
• fainting, lethargy;
• nausea, vomiting.

If hypotension is not an independent pathological condition, but just one of the symptoms of various diseases, it is accompanied by other signs characteristic of them (they are described in more detail in the table in the section "algorithm for helping patients").

Patient care algorithm

The first step in treating low blood pressure is to determine what the condition is. If it is urgent, there is no time to think - you need to call an ambulance to such a person (telephone 103) and start first aid before it arrives. In any case, patients should be examined by different specialists: a therapist, a cardiologist, a surgeon, a neuropathologist, an endocrinologist.

By differentially excluding the most dangerous causes of low blood pressure, taking into account the existing symptoms, you can find the true cause. It may take only a few minutes to eliminate it, a surgical operation, and it may be that treatment will be required throughout life.

The general algorithm for helping in any case of low pressure looks like this:

1. Lay the person on our back, raise your legs, lower your head slightly.
2. Make sure that the patient has free access to fresh air.
3. Measure blood pressure, do not remove the cuff for dynamic monitoring of its performance.
4. If the person is unconscious, determine if there is breathing and a pulse in the vessels of the neck (carotid arteries). If they are not there, start artificial respiration and cardiac massage.
5. If possible, identify the accompanying complaints and symptoms described in the table. This will help determine the most likely cause of hypotension, and provide further assistance in a differentiated manner.

What to pay attention to	Possible causes of hypotension	What to do with low pressure
Blueness, puffiness of the face, shortness of breath, chest pain	Heart attack or pulmonary embolism	Give under the tongue Aspirin (Cardiomagnyl), nitroglycerin (if the pressure is at least 90/60)
Hematemesis, black stool	Stomach or intestinal bleeding	Cold on the stomach, hemostatic drugs (Etamzilat, Dicinon, Sangera), Omez
Brain signs (arm and leg weakness, loss of speech and vision, facial twisting)	Stroke, hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, tumor, inflammation of the brain	Do not lower your head, lay it on its side, impose cold, make sure that the person does not choke when vomiting
Periodic or sudden episodes of low blood pressure without any additional manifestations	Vegetovascular dystonia, hormonal imbalance, abrupt change in body position, overheating, stressful situations	Provide peace, give strong coffee or drugs to drink: citramon, caffeine, cordiamine. If there is no effect - injections Dexamethasone, Prednisolone
Constantly low pressure	If there are no complaints - body features	Treatment by a specialist, general tonic drugs for long-term use (months): Eleutherococcus, Tonginal, Pantocrine.
	The presence of complaints - endocrine or neurovegetative disorders
Very pronounced (less than 80-90 / 50-60) acute hypotension that violates the general condition	Any type of shock, including anaphylactic shock (allergy)	General measures in combination with intravenous administration of drugs: Mezaton, Dexamethasone dopamine, Refortan, Adrenalin.

In all cases of a sudden drop in blood pressure, be sure to call an ambulance (telephone 103). Behind this symptom, a dangerous disease can be hidden!

Forecast of treatment effectiveness

If a decrease in pressure is a symptom of severe urgent illness, only specialists in a hospital should increase it. In this case, the prognosis is unpredictable (50% of patients in a state of shock die). Habitual causeless hypotension does not pose any danger to life, but in 60–70% it cannot be eliminated, despite treatment.

Reduced blood pressure caused by chronic diseases of the internal organs and hormonal deficiency normalizes on its own against the background of their treatment. Periodic episodes of mild hypotension against the background of vegetovascular dystonia, changes in body position, weather sensitivity and other factors are best treated and least dangerous.

Doctors told what blood pressure is considered normal, who is most prone to high blood pressure and what includes the prevention of high and low blood pressure.

Arterial blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts on the walls of blood vessels (arteries) with each heartbeat. The maximum pressure occurs when the heart contracts, which is called systolic pressure (large number). When the heart relaxes, the pressure is minimal and is diastolic (lower number).

A huge number of studies have helped to reveal the average numbers of blood pressure (BP). But recently, individual characteristics of a person have also begun to be taken into account. Therefore, the World Health Organization recognizes as normal those indicators that are in the range from 100-110 / 70 to 120-140 / 90. Moreover, the pressure should be stable throughout the day, including during various physical and emotional stresses. The pressure may be below normal - if at the same time the person feels well, you should not worry. But if the pressure exceeds 140/90, it is better to consult a doctor - perhaps there are some changes, and you need to figure out whether they need to be treated, says Natalya Smolikova, a general practitioner.

Causes of high and low pressure

If a person regularly encounters a decrease in blood pressure, this indicates hypotension. This is a chronic condition that often occurs against the background of overwork (in young people), weather changes, stress, in women during the menstrual cycle. Hypotension is associated with reduced vascular tone. Low blood pressure can also be acute. This is a kind of one-time change in pressure, which is associated with an overdose of any medication, intoxication, poisoning, or an acute illness.

An increase in pressure can be acute and chronic. An acute increase in blood pressure (crisis) is associated with taking any drugs, such as hormonal drugs, drinking large amounts of alcohol, severe emotional shock or stress. Chronic increase in blood pressure is hypertension, which is most often associated with vascular changes, that is, with seals in the walls of blood vessels or malformations of the heart (congenital or acquired). Blood pressure may also be high if you:

They drank strong tea or coffee, ate a lot of chocolate, were in a smoky room;
- took medicines based on licorice root, herbal neurostimulants (schisandra, ginseng, eleutherococcus);
- nervous or walked at a fast pace, carried a heavy bag, climbed the stairs.

Both hypotension and hypertension are equally dangerous for humans. Hypotension leads to a deterioration in the supply of oxygen to the organs - hypoxia. With hypertension, blood vessels, including small ones, are damaged, and the risk of developing atherosclerosis increases. But it should be noted: hypertension can result in serious complications - stroke and heart attack.

Who is prone to high/low blood pressure

Visually, you can determine a person's tendency to high or low blood pressure. For example, tall, asthenic (thin, have long arms and legs) people at a young age are more likely to experience a decrease in pressure than stocky, average height. At an older age, the risk of “meeting” with an increase in blood pressure is equally in people of different physiques.

Of course, if a person has a hereditary predisposition, he smokes, eats improperly, is overweight, does not engage in any physical activity - he can find out what hypertension is at 30 and 40 years old. People with disturbed sleep patterns who lead a sedentary lifestyle are prone to hypotension.

You can accurately tell about a person's tendency to high or low pressure after measuring blood pressure for 10 days. It is better to do this in the morning, without getting out of bed, and in the evening before going to bed. In this case, it is necessary to record not only blood pressure indicators, but also your feelings, well-being (did your head hurt, did you feel weak, etc.).

What to do if the pressure has increased/decreased

If the pressure has increased, you need to find out how long this condition lasts during the day and what it is connected with. If, in the total calculation, the rise in blood pressure lasts no more than 5-6 hours a day and is explained by physiological causes (excitement, motor activity, reaction to stress), there is no need for special treatment.

Simple acupressure techniques will help reduce blood pressure:

Press with the pad of your right thumb on a point located deep in the occipital fossa (at the point where the spine is attached to the head). Count to 10 and stop exposure. Repeat two times.

Mentally divide the back of the neck into three equal parts horizontally. Now find three paired points on the sides of the spine. At the same time, act on each pair with the pads of the thumbs of both hands. Count to 10 and move on to another pair of dots, then to a third.

Find a point located on the midline of the abdomen just below the sternum (it corresponds to the solar plexus). Press on it simultaneously with the index, middle and ring fingers of both hands, count to 10 and release. Repeat 10 times.

For hypotension, it is usually recommended to get 10 hours of sleep a night, rest during the day, walk in the fresh air for at least two hours a day, exercise as much as possible (swimming is better), and be sure to eat foods with enough vitamins and minerals. Of any special methods, contrasting foot baths can be recommended. This procedure will significantly improve peripheral circulation. Pour hot water (38-40 ° C) into one basin, cold water into the other. Lower your legs alternately into one or another container (the procedure begins and ends with hot water). Particularly fearless can try a contrast shower.

In case of low blood pressure, you can use the classic trick - drink strong tea or brewed coffee, eat something salty, such as pickles or a few pieces of fish. The sodium contained in table salt will bring you back to normal in a few hours. Also, products with plant extracts, such as eleutherococcus, radiols, lemongrass tinctures, may be suitable to increase pressure.

What can be done to avoid pressure problems

Prevention of high and low blood pressure is an elementary adherence to a healthy lifestyle - a person must have a normal daily routine, good sleep, physical activity is necessary, thanks to which it is possible to process the increased formation of adrenaline and cope with an increased amount of sugar in the blood, it is important to eat right.

You can minimize the cases of hypertension with the help of a special diet. Reduce salt intake (no more than 3-5 grams per day) - sodium retains fluid in the body. And it’s better to completely abandon it, replacing it with spices. Ensure sufficient intake of calcium and magnesium in the body - their balance is involved in the regulation of blood pressure at the cellular level. Magnesium is found in sunflower seeds, in all legumes, vegetable greens, carrots, sea kale. Calcium can be obtained from dairy products, leafy vegetables: broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower, asparagus, and citrus fruits.

In the case of a chronic process, attention should be paid to complex treatment. You should follow preventive measures, as well as take medications as prescribed by a doctor. In the treatment of hypertension, doctors adhere to international recommendations, which indicate which medications should be prescribed to different groups of people for different reasons for increasing pressure. It is believed that it is better to choose drugs with 2-3 active ingredients (combined), but in the minimum dosage - they will show themselves as much as possible due to the synergistic effect.

With hypertension, a person must constantly take drugs to prevent complications - heart attack, stroke, dementia. With hypotension, in the case of a regular decrease in pressure, it is also necessary to constantly take medications to maintain the tone of the vascular wall.

I read the book "Last Time Miracles" "in one sitting." I couldn't put it down - its content is so interesting and exciting; it is very easy to read.

Miracles were, are and will be, because they are a universal mirror reflecting two opposing forces - good and evil. In the book of hieromonk Tryphon, this is amazingly vividly shown by life examples, and the reader himself can even draw conclusions on how to act in each specific case. This book carries a charge of wisdom, moral and bodily health. This precious book should be in every home, in every family.

Separate speech errors were "not noticed" by me in order to preserve the portraits of the narrators. There is no fiction or deceit in it, because the author of this book lives strictly according to God's commandments: "do not deceive", "do not steal", etc. He is a faster, prayer book, unmercenary.

It is a pity that such a necessary and useful book for any person is published in such a small circulation.

FROM THE AUTHOR

What prompted me to write this book? The main thing is compassion for people who do not believe in God.

All signs of the foreshadowing of the imminent second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ have already come true. The beast, the Antichrist, the false Jesus is about to emerge to the surface and officially appear.

Its tentacles are already visible in all countries. He will reign for 42 months before the coming of Jesus. His offspring, the world's cashless computer system, is being introduced everywhere. It is headed by the main computer, which is named "The Beast". The number given to the beast is 666. Special electronic cards are replacing money. These are animal cards. On them is the code of the beast and the personal number of each inhabitant of our planet. The numbers are invisible to the naked eye. Such figures are already put on the right hand or forehead of a person. This is the seal of the beast. If you want, for example, to go to a disco for free, just put your hand under the seal!

The number of the beast is increasingly found on food and industrial products. Each barcode (band) has this number (three double stripes at the beginning, in the middle, at the end of the barcode; they are slightly longer than the other stripes - these are sixes). This number has penetrated television, radio, medicine, art - all spheres of human life. People are being coded. New passports have even appeared, and they contain 666.

Wake up, man, open the Gospel and read the "Revelation" of John the Evangelist. Almost two thousand years ago, describing our time, he told us about the beast, indicated its number 666 and warned that the mark of the beast or its number would be put on the right hand or on the forehead. This is the seal of the Antichrist. And this is a straight road to hell.

Many of our holy fathers wrote about the Antichrist. However, humanity calmly allows itself to be fooled and crawls towards the Antichrist, like a rabbit into the jaws of a boa constrictor.

This book describes miraculous events that happened to me, to my friends and acquaintances at the relics of St. Seraphim of Sarov, at holy springs, in monasteries, churches and other places.

Having experience as a correspondent, I first recorded the stories of eyewitnesses on a tape recorder and tried to avoid unverified facts. I tried to keep the style of presentation.

I really hope that this book will help many people to believe that we live on earth for a moment, that eternal life awaits us after death. And depending on how we live this moment, in good or evil, we will either go to heaven, to eternal bliss, or to hell, to eternal torment. There will be no third.

God grant that an atheist, after reading this book, believes in God, an unbaptized one gets baptized, an unmarried one gets married, an evil one becomes good.

The manuscript of this book has already been prepared for publication. On the eve of its delivery to the printing house, St. Seraphim of Sarava appeared to me in a dream. I was in Diveevo, I stood in the Trinity Church of the monastery, and Father Seraphim was standing not far from his shrine, facing me. In his right hand he held the manuscript of my book.

We need another third, - said the Reverend, addressing me.

In the book, under some stories there is no signature - these are my stories.

Hieromonk Tryphon

sovereign Russia

Nun Tamara and Hieromonk Tryphon.

- I will go through my Russia, like a wanderer,

I'm not a stranger to her, not an exile,

I will seek the truth, the truth of God.

The staff will pave the way for me in impassability.

What is cold to me, what is heat, eternal sorrows,

There will be grass for me - a bed, the sun - a candle.

Let black crows circle over me,

I will bow to the native land on all sides.

O world of God, big world, open up to me,

In my past life, I burned my bridges a long time ago.

There is no happiness on earth and there is no peace,

“You will find joy with the Lord,” was the answer.

Oh, my dear Russia, Sovereign Russia,

You lie in total darkness, Orthodox.

Sue, ring, Ivan the Bell,

Awaken holy Russia from a long sleep.

So that all people wake up from sleep,

They fell on their knees, bowed down,

We worshiped Christ our God,

He gave his life for you and for me.

And, repenting in tears, in this mournful hour

They would cry out to Christ: "Have mercy on us!"

Diveevo miracles

How St. Seraphim heals

In July 1991, the relics of St. Seraphim were transferred from Moscow to Diveevo. Miracles began in Moscow. Many saw how doves, forming a cross, descending steeply three times, flew over the shrine with the relics of All Russia, the miracle worker. They must have been Angels.

In Moscow and on the road to Diveevo, with the confluence of pilgrims from all over Russia, miracles of healing took place. Many were instructed by the great saint on the path of righteousness.

On July 19, the relics of the Monk rested in Diveevo. It was here, in the Trinity Sobdra, that the mass healing of pilgrims and the exorcism of demons began.

The cathedral was packed. The possessed barked and bleated and growled. Dozens of people were healed before our eyes.

Since then, those who are sick in soul and body have been constantly coming to Diveevo and receiving healing. The sick are healed not only at the shrine of the Reverend, but also in four holy springs: the Monk Seraphim, the Kazan Mother of God, the Iberian Mother of God and Diveevo Mother Alexandra.

There are many miraculous cases of healing, it is impossible to describe them all. Only the most interesting cases are included in this book.

The Seraphim-Diveevsky Monastery has been famous for its holiness since the day it was founded. It was established by the Mother of God herself, as Her Fourth Destiny on earth.

And since July 1991, a new wave of miracles has begun.

It is impossible to describe all the miracles. How many “incurables” were cured, how many demons were cast out by holy water, how many visions there were at the springs!

Everything is given to people according to their faith. I will describe only a few cases.

In the summer of 1996, I had to squat near my house for a very long time. Then he stood up abruptly. Something cracked in my right knee. There was pain. Every day the pain intensified, I could hardly move. He did not go to the doctors - he began to pray intensely to Father Seraphim. I asked the Reverend to pray to the Lord for me, for the forgiveness of my sins.

At that time, I had a lot of worries about repairing a house that I recently bought. This repair parka gradually began to crowd out both prayers and the church - they began to pray less and go to church less often. And I forgot about the healing springs. So the Lord thought me up, reminded me of Himself. After all, many people know that our illnesses are our sins.

I remembered the source of the holy venerable Seraphim. I got into the car and went to bow to Father Seraphim.
