Miraculous icons of the Mother of God: I am with you and no one can be against you
In 2002, the UPC Synod of the Moscow Patriarchate passed a decision on the glorification of the icon - I am with you and no one can be against you.
The icon was included in the official list of miraculous icons; the day of her celebration was determined in praise of the Mother of God, the troparion was determined, the prayer and the Akathist were composed.
According to church canons, the celebration of an icon or a saint is performed in one local Church and then spread to other Churches.
The icon was painted in the Leušina nunnery dedicated to St. John the Baptist, at the end of the 19th century.
Specially made, it was painted for St. Righteous John of Kronstadt, who called her the Savior of Russia.
Later, John the Righteous blessed her to be sold to Vasilij in Muravyovo, the future elder Seraphim Viricki.
It is assumed that the icon was later handed over to the spiritual children of Venerable Seraphim, in the Svetogeorgiev women's monastery, in the village of Danevka, Chernihiv eparchy. (present-day Ukraine)
The icon became famous for many healings of the suffering, who testified about it in two books, published by the Saint George's Women's Monastery.
Leušina Monastery, where the icon was painted, 30 years ago. HH century, it was submerged for the construction of a pond.
The icon is celebrated on Saturday of the fifth (Deaf) week of Great Lent.
Wonders
In front of this icon, they pray for the preservation of Russia, for the establishment and establishment of Orthodox churches, and also for healing from various ailments.
Education
The icon is painted on a yellow background with the characteristic blue cloak of the Immaculate Virgin. Bearing in mind that the color blue, the color of the Mother of God, dominates the entire display.
The baby of God, as the Savior of the world, is depicted in a white chiton with outstretched arms, completely facing the world - for which he came and laid down his life unreservedly.
For this turning away from the Mother of God and reaching out to the world, for which he voluntarily suffered, we cannot say that it has the character of a violent snatching from the arms of the Holy Virgin; it is more about the spontaneous outpouring of His love for the suffering world: a warm and harmless offering to the world, which "did not know when it was visited".
The sufferer, shown here as a young child, offers himself to the world without any reservations, gives him His Love, refuge and shelter and seems to want to repeat the words of His Mother, which she spoke to the human race: I am with you and no one can be against you - which is the very name that the miracle-working icon received.
Prayer to the Most Holy Mother of God in honor of Her icon, "I am with you"
Oh, All-Blessed Protector of the Christian race, Mother of Him Who holds everything with His right hand, Christ our God!
Pour out His mercy and goodness on us so that we are not afraid of visible and invisible enemies, as You said to those who trust in You: "I am with you and no one can be against you".
Save the Holy and True Orthodox Church and our family from schism and heresy and lay the foundation for the repentance of our people.
Return Holy Russia to the path of true faith, given to her by God, so that it is filled with the incense of prayers and blossoms like a field lily; that we may live in piety and purity, always protected by You from the temptation of the antichrist, the invasion of foreigners, mutual conflicts, earthquakes, fire, famine and pestilence, from sudden death, discord in the family: monks, protect us and save us, Most Pure, because we trust in You, according to what you said: "I am with you and no one can be against you". To Him belongs glory, power, honor and worship, power and greatness, to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and always and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Troparion, voice 6
Pure Lady, look, Mother of God, see our illnesses and be merciful, Pure and heal us from an unclean conscience by Your mercy, who turn to You, Your servants: "I am with you, and no one can be against you".
