A certain sociologist once called Russia the most drunkcountry in the world. This is not quite true. In America and the "good old" England drink as much, and in the Czech Republic so generally there is a whole beer district, where "holidays of drunkenness" happen almost every day. Just Russia, unlike the countries of the European world, does not hesitate of its ailment.
Alas, the rural family way of life is not alwaysonly domostroy. More and more often the tired, frightened women come up to the village father and whisper, looking around cautiously, they ask: "Is there any prayer from the husband's drunkenness?"
And yet, does prayer help from husband's drunkenness? ..
The fact that many of our women are spiritually significantlystronger than men, has long been proven. And men, as if obeying this change in roles, slowly surrender positions, turning into savvy residents. And it's good, if only this happens ... "He beats - then he loves," some young ladies say. And if he drinks and drinks?
But in this case, you will not complain about the female part, and the prayer from husband's drunkenness becomes more and more urgent.
Drinking, as well as drug addiction - is primarilymental illness. The unfortunate patient (and you can not call a healthy person who does not have the strength to get rid of the fatal passion for the green snake, does not turn his tongue) can not, simply does not find the strength to pray for his soul. In this case, only his relatives can help him. And it is not so important to whom prayers are prayed - whether to God himself, to the guardian angel, or to John of Kronstadt - as practice shows, the strongest prayer for drunkenness is sincere. It happens that help does not come immediately. Well ... in that case, it is appropriate to recall the wise words of one of the saints who said that the Lord gives as many trials as a person can bear.
