Gastroscopy of the stomach is a modern diagnostic technique for examining the organs of the upper digestive tract using endoscopic equipment. This study is the most popular and informative way to study the esophagus, stomach, pancreas and intestines. With its help, practitioners can detect pathological processes occurring in the digestive organs at an early stage of development.
The most important and crucial stage that allows you to carry out gastroscopy without any problems and negative complications is preparation for the procedure. In our article, we will provide information on what laboratory tests need to be passed before the examination, what is the preparation for gastroscopy of the stomach in the morning, how the procedure is carried out and what you need to have with you.
Why is an endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract carried out?
A diagnostic study of the digestive system using a gastroscope is used to study the state of the mucous membranes - this allows you to identify various ulcerations, inflammation and tumor-like formations. Examination methods such as computed or magnetic resonance imaging, radiography and ultrasound are not able to provide a clear picture of the underlying pathological processes. Gastroscopy allows the attending physician to literally "look" into the internal organs of the patient.
The indications for its implementation are:
- esophagitis - inflammation of the esophageal mucosa;
- gastroesophageal reflux pathology - a recurrent disease, which is caused by the "throwing" of gastric contents into the esophagus;
- some types of hernia (protrusion of internal organs through a defect in the peritoneum);
- gastrointestinal bleeding;
- the study of changes in the mucous membranes that can lead to the development of cancer;
- diagnosing a pathological process, in which there is a violation of appetite, flatulence, pain in the upper gastrointestinal tract, problems with swallowing food, loss of body weight;
- violation of the movement of food to the intestines;
- monitoring the course of peptic ulcer and cancer;
- monitoring the patient's condition after surgical interventions on the visceral organs.
How is the diagnosis carried out?
To know how to properly prepare for gastroscopy of the stomach, you need to understand how it is performed. This will help to understand what factors can change the reliability of the bottom line.
For the examination, local anesthesia is used, and in some cases the procedure is carried out in a state of medication sleep. The traditional gastroscopy method lasts no more than 15 minutes. The patient is placed on the left side, the mouthguard (special device) is allowed to be clamped between the teeth, which makes it possible to insert an endoscopic probe with a video camera. For its gradual penetration into the esophagus, the patient takes a deep throat, after which it is impossible to swallow saliva - its excess is removed by suction.
Biopsy forceps and other instruments can be attached to the probe, allowing you to obtain not only an image, but also perform the necessary medical procedures.
Basics of preparatory measures for the procedure
An endoscopic examination is a visualization of the state of the stomach and intestines, which is why, for the reliability of the obtained image, it is very important to know how to prepare for gastroscopy of the stomach. Most often, the patient knows about the diagnostic manipulation in a few days, which means that it is possible to prepare for it in advance.
Before gastroscopy of the stomach, you should not eat baked goods, dumplings, pasta, spicy, fried and fatty foods (including meat and fish)
Alcoholic and sugary carbonated drinks are strictly prohibited - they increase the gag reflex. Directly for the procedure itself, the patient's body prepares for eighteen hours. This is how much time has to elapse since the last meal. It is recommended to make it hearty, but the dishes should be prepared from easily digestible products:
- mashed potatoes and vegetables (for example, broccoli), steamed;
- a large portion of green salad with dietary chicken meat;
- buckwheat porridge and low-fat cottage cheese.
You shouldn't eat chocolate legumes, seeds, nuts, hard cheese, barley porridge, whole grain bread, smoked meats, canned vegetables. If the patient is worried about bloating, on the eve of the procedure, doctors prescribe medications that reduce the formation of gases and help them get out of the digestive tract.
Preparation for gastroscopy of the stomach in the morning
In the first half of the day, the patient will be hungry - he is prohibited from eating any food. Any food we eat (even the most easily digestible one) will not allow us to fully see the digestive tract. Many patients ask a question to the attending physician: "Is it possible to drink water before gastroscopy?" Preparing for the procedure in the morning also implies an almost complete abstinence from fluid intake! You can drink clean water without gas no more than 0.5 glass three hours before the examination.
Smoking has a negative effect on the results of gastric endoscopy - nicotine enhances secretory activity, which can distort the general video review of internal organs. Therefore, the patient is strongly advised to refrain from this bad habit during the preparation for the study.
Patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus or hypertension and are forced to take medications on time, drugs are injected.
Taking medications (tablets and capsules) can interfere with the full-fledged image, which is why it is advised to postpone their use to a later hour
How do I prepare for my afternoon procedure?
In the event that the endoscopic examination is scheduled for the afternoon, the patient is allowed light breakfast... It should take at least eight hours from eating to the procedure. The patient can eat yogurt and drink herbal tea... The liquid can be consumed in a volume of no more than 100 ml three hours before the examination.
What can and cannot be eaten before gastroscopy?
A day before the diagnostic manipulation, a special diet must be observed. The following dishes are allowed:
- buckwheat and oatmeal;
- eggs;
- mashed potatoes;
- boiled chicken meat;
- low fat cottage cheese and sour cream;
- baked or boiled vegetables;
- soups;
- vegetable and fruit juices.
On the eve of gastroscopy, it is necessary to stop eating fatty foods, the following foods are referred to it:
- mayonnaise;
- cream;
- Salo;
- blue cheese;
- fatty fish;
- pork.
Smoking is strictly prohibited on the day of the gastroscopy
What needs to be done before gastroscopy of the stomach?
Before carrying out diagnostic manipulation, the patient undergoes an electrocardiogram and the following laboratory blood tests:
- general clinical analysis with the determination of the coagulation time;
- determination of group and rhesus affiliation;
- detection of the presence of immune antibodies to HIV, syphilis viruses, hepatitis B and C.
The patient should know that during the procedure, a solution of Lidocaine is injected into the throat to relieve discomfort. If a person has an increased susceptibility to anesthetics (drugs that are used for anesthesia), it is necessary to notify the medical staff in advance. In addition to this point, there are several more factors that it is important for the patient to carry out before the examination:
- put on special protective underwear;
- remove dentures, glasses or contact lenses;
- empty the bladder.
The preparatory measures also need to include a psychoemotional mood. If gastroscopy is performed the traditional way, and not in a state of sedation (drug sleep), then waiting for it causes unpleasant sensations. It is very important not to panic during manipulation, breathing should be calm and deep - this will weaken the feeling of discomfort and minimize the gag reflex.
What should you take with you to the procedure?
You should visit a medical institution for gastroscopy with the following set of things and documents:
- passport;
- outpatient card;
- the results of the studies carried out - analyzes, ultrasound, radiography;
- insurance policy;
- a sheet;
- a towel;
- wet wipes;
- replaceable shoes or shoe covers.
In modern clinics, before gastroscopy, the patient is put on an individual “collar” that protects clothing from vomit or excess saliva; a sheet or towel should be placed under the head
In order not to experience discomfort during the procedure, you should take care of spacious, non-squeezing clothing - without belts, ties and cuffs. Also, do not wear jewelry or costume jewelry. For a successful diagnosis, the patient must come to the clinic 5-10 minutes before the appointed hour. Do not be afraid, worry and panic - endoscopic examination is performed only by a qualified specialist who has extensive experience. You need to adjust yourself to the fact that this examination is important and to endure it easily - it takes a short time.
The next day after gastroscopy, doctors advise the patient to eat only light meals in a warm form, so as not to additionally injure the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
Conclusion
According to medical statistics, approximately 1% of patients who underwent gastroscopy had complications requiring emergency medical attention. These include gastrointestinal bleeding as a result of trauma to the walls of the digestive tract, as well as perforation of the stomach, esophagus, and duodenum.
When a tumor-like formation is detected in the organs of the digestive system, the diagnosis is reported to the patient and his close relatives. It is not recommended to tell patients with an unstable psyche the true diagnosis - such people had mental disorders.

Clouded by the mind in worldly passions, I cannot gaze at You in illness, I cannot warm myself with tears, even to You love. But, Master Lord Jesus Christ, the treasure of the good, grant me whole repentance and a heart of love for Thy seeking, grant me Thy grace and renew the eyes of Thy image in me. Leave Thee, do not leave me; go out to seek mine, lead to Thy pasture and bring me to the sheep of Thy chosen flock, educate me with them from the cereal of Thy Divine Sacraments, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy saints. Amen.

Psalm 50
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy compassions, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me most of all from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and my sin is before me I will take out. To Thee, who alone have sinned, and have done good before Thee; as if you were justified in your words, and conquer from time to time to judge Ti. Behold, in transgressions I am conceived, and in sins bore me my mother. Behold, you loved the truth; You have revealed your unknown and secret wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; wash me, and I will be white as snow. Give joy and joy to my hearing; the bones of the humble will be reborn. Turn away Thy face from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquity. Build a pure heart in me, O God, and renew the spirit of rights in my womb. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Reward with me the joy of Thy salvation and, with the Spirit of the Lord, confirm me. I will teach the wicked in Thy way, and the wicked will turn to Thee. Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. As if you would have wanted sacrifices, you would have given them: do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God the spirit is broken; a contrite and humble heart God will not despise. Bless, O Lord, with Thy good pleasure Zion, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; then they will put calves on your altar.

Or who will be in His holy place? The rukama is innocent and pure in heart, who does not take his soul in vain, and they do not swear by their sincere flattery. He will receive blessing from the Lord, and alms from God, his Savior. This is the race of those who seek the Lord, seeking the face of God, Jacob. Take up the gates of your princes, and take up the eternal gates; and the King of Glory will enter. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord is strong and strong, the Lord is strong in battle. Take up the gates of your princes, and take up the eternal gates, and the King of Glory will enter. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of forces, the One is the King of Glory.

Honest before the Lord is the death of His saints. O Lord, I am Thy servant, I am Thy servant and the son of Thy handmaid; Thou art tore apart my bonds.

I will repay my prayers to the Lord in the presence of all His people, in the courtyards of the house of the Lord, in your midst, Jerusalem.

See, the estates to the zealot, who have used these for the sake of strangling: flee unfulfilled souls, to the Teacher such daring. Like all good Lord, glory to Thee.]
Psalm 50
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy compassions, cleanse my iniquity. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take out my sin before me. Thee, who alone have sinned, and have done evil before thee; as if you were justified in your words, and conquer, always to judge Ti. Behold, in transgressions I am conceived, and in sins bore me my mother. Behold, you loved the truth; You have revealed your unknown and secret wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. To my hearing dasi joy and gladness; the bones of the humble will rejoice. Turn away Thy face from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquity. Build a pure heart in me, O God, and renew the spirit of rights in my womb. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Give me the joy of Thy salvation, and with the Spirit of the Lord confirm me. I will teach the wicked in Thy way, and the wicked will turn to Thee. Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. As if you would have wanted sacrifices, you would have given them: do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God the spirit is broken; a contrite and humble heart God will not despise. Bless, O Lord, with Thy good pleasure Zion, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; then they will lay calves on your altar.

Prayer 1, Basil the Great
Lord Jesus Christ, our God, the Source of life and immortality, of all creatures visible and invisible to the Makeerer, of the beginningless Father, co-perceiving to the Son and primordial, for the sake of goodness in the last days in the flesh was clothed, and crucified, and buried behind us ungrateful and evil Renewed with blood our nature corrupted by sin, Himself, the Immortal King, accept my sinful repentance, and incline Thy ear to me, and hear my verbs. Those who have sinned, O Lord, who have sinned into heaven and before You, and I am worthy to look at the height of Your glory: in anger for Your goodness, having transgressed Your commandments, and disobeying Your commands. But Thou, Lord, you are not malignant, long-suffering and many-merciful, Thou art not betrayed me to perish with my iniquities, waiting in every possible way for my conversion. Thou art more, Thou art loving man, Thy prophet: as if I want I do not want the death of a sinner, but a hedgehog will turn and live to be him. Do not want to, Master, destroy Your hand, beneath the favor of the death of humanity, but want everyone to be saved, and come to the mind of truth. The same and I, if I am not worthy of heaven and earth, and sowing temporary life, having obeyed sin altogether, and enslaved with sweetness, and defiled your image; But when Thy creation and creation were, I do not despair of my salvation, accursed one, I daring to come to Thy immeasurable benevolence. Accept me and me, O Lord of mankind, like a harlot, like a robber, like a publican and like a harlot, and take my heavy burden of sins, take on the world of sin, and heal human infirmities, who work and are burdened to You, call upon you and do not come to rest but sinful to repentance. And cleanse me from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, and teach me to perfect holiness in Thy passion: as if by pure knowledge of my conscience, I will receive Thy holy things, I will be united with Thy holy Body and Blood, and I have Thy living and abiding in me, with the Father, and by your Holy Spirit. To her, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, and may not in the judgments there be the communion of Thy most pure and life-giving Mysteries, lower may I be weak in soul and body, from a hedgehog unworthy to take communion, but grant me, even to my final breath, accept without condemnation part of Thy holy things, in the Holy Spirit communion, in the way of the eternal life, and in the favorable response to Thy terrible judgment: as if I and all Thy elect would be a fellowship of Thy incorruptible blessings, even Thou art prepared for those who love Thy, O Lord, in them Thou art was glorified in eyelids. Amen.

O Lord my God, vem, as if I am worthy, I am satisfied below, but under the roof of the temple of my soul, now I’m all empty and fell to eat, and I do not deserve a place in me for a hedgehog head: but as if from above for our sake you humbled yourself, humble yourself and now to my humility; and as if you perceived in the nativity scene and in the dumb manger near the neighborhood, perceive my soulless soul in the manger, and in my defiled body, embed it. And as if you were not unworthy to bring in, and to light up sinners in the house of Simon the leper, so please, take in my humble soul, leper and sinner, into the house; and as if thou did not reject such a harlot and a sinner who came and touched Thee; And as if you did not abhor her foul lips and unclean ones that kiss You, abhor my filthy lips and unclean ones, lower than my vile and unclean lips, and my foul and unclean tongue. But let there be coal of Thy Most Holy Body, and honest Thy Blood, for the sanctification and enlightenment and health of my humble soul and body, for the relief of the burdens of many of my sins, for keeping from every devilish act, for driving away and forbidding my evil and evil custom, for the mortification of passions, for the supply of thy commandments, for the application of thy divine grace, and for the appropriation of thy kingdom. Not as if I despise I come to You, Christ God, but as if daring to Your ineffable goodness, and may not move away from Your communication, from the mental wolf I will be caught by the beasts. I also pray to Thee: as one is Holy, Lord, sanctify my soul and body, mind and heart, belly and womb, and renew me all, and root Thy fear in my good luck, and Thy sanctification is inalienable from me; and wake me a helper and intercessor, nourishing my belly in the world, making me and your right hand stand with your saints, with the prayers and prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother, Thy immaterial servants and most pure powers, and all the saints who have delighted You from time immemorial. Amen.
Prayer 3, Simeon Metaphrastus
Alone pure and incorruptible Lord, for the ineffable mercy of humanity our all perceived confusion, from pure and virgin blood more than the nature of the birth of Thee, the Divine Spirit by the invasion, and the grace of the ever-present Father, Christ Jesus, the wisdom of God, and peace, and power; By your perception, life-giving and saving suffering, perceived, cross, nails, spear, death, kill my soulful bodily passions. By Thy burial of hell, captive of the kingdom, bury my good thoughts, crafty counsel, and ruin the spirits of crafty. Having raised up your fallen forefather by Thy three days' and life-giving resurrection, raise me up with sin that crawled, offering images of repentance to me. By Thy glorious ascension, the fleshly, dear perception, and honoring this with the right hand of the Father, grant me the right part of those who are saved by the sacrament of Thy Holy Mysteries. By the thread of Thy Comforter Spirit, holy vessels are sacred Thy disciples have done, friend, and show me that coming. Although the packs come to judge the universe with righteousness, please, and I find Thee on the cloud, my Judge and My Creator, with all Thy saints: yes, I endlessly praise and praise Thee, with Thy beginningless Father, and the Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Thy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer 4, his
As if on Thy terrible and impartial face the Judgment, O Christ God, and lifting up condemnation, and creating a word about the evil I have done; But today, before even dwelling the days of my condemnation, at Thy holy Altar, standing before You and before Thy terrible and holy Angels, bowed from my conscience, I bring my deceitful and lawless deeds, manifest this and denounce. See, O Lord, my humility, and forgive all my sins; see that my iniquity is multiplied more than the power of my head. Someone do not do evil? Cue sin didn’t commit? What evil have I not imagined in my soul? Already deeds are deeds: fornication, adultery, pride, arrogance, reproach, blasphemy, idle talk, inappropriate laughter, drunkenness, guttural laughter, greed, hatred, envy, avarice, covetousness, covetousness, pride, popularity, malice, theft, wrongdoing , slander, lawlessness; every feeling of mine and every oud of the defiled, corrupted, obscene have done, doing the devil in every way. And we, O Lord, as my iniquity has surpassed my head; but there are immeasurable multitudes of Thy compassions, and mercy is inexpressible, Thy kindness of Thy goodness, and there is no sin, conquering Thy philanthropy. The same, wonderful King, gentle Lord, surprise your mercy on me, a sinner, show your goodness your strength and reveal the strength of your gracious mercy, and converting, accept me a sinner. Accept me, as thou didst receive the fornicator, the robber, the harlot. Accept me, immeasurably, both in word and deed, and vain lust, and in thoughtless thought, having sinned Thee. And as if at the eleventh hour, you received those who came, who had done nothing worthy, so accept me, a sinner: many have sinned and defiled, and grieved Thy Holy Spirit, and grieved Thy human-loving womb and by deed, and by word, burden and thought, days, both manifest and non-manifest, willingly and unwillingly. And we, as if imagine my sins before me, these are what you have done by me, and torture the word with me about their minds who have sinned unforgiven. But Lord, Lord, let not Thy righteous judgment, denounce me lower with Thy wrath, punish me with Thy wrath; have mercy on me, Lord, for I am not only weak, but also Thy creature. Thou, O Lord, Thou hast established Thy fear on me, but I have done evil before Thee. Thou hast the one who have sinned, but I pray Thee, do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. If the lawlessness is nazrishi, Lord, Lord, who will stand? I am the abyss of sin, and I am worthy, below I am content to gaze and see the height of heaven, from the multitude of my sins, they are innumerable: all evil deeds and deceit, and Satan's trick, and corruption, malice, advice to sin and other numerous passions are not depleted from me. Kiimi bo was not seduced by sins? Kiimi not contained by evil? Every sin that I do, I put every filth in my soul, would be obscene to You, my God, and to man. Who will raise me up, with a bit of evil and a bit of fallen sin? Lord my God, in Thee hopes; if there is hope of salvation, if your love for mankind triumphs over my multitudes of iniquities, wake me a savior, and according to your mercies and your mercy, weaken, leave, forgive me, all the tree you have sinned, for my soul will be filled with many evils, and not be in me salvation of hope. Have mercy on me, God, according to Thy great mercy and do not reward me according to my deeds, and do not condemn me according to my deeds, but turn, intercede, deliver my soul from the evils and fierce perceptions that are growing together with it. Save me for the sake of Thy mercy, that even where sin multiplies, Thy grace abound; and I will praise and glorify Thee always, all the days of my life. Thou art the God of those who repent and the Savior of those who sin; and we glorify You with Your Beginning Father and the Most Holy and Good, and Your Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer 5, St. John of Damascus
O Lord Jesus Christ, our God, alone having the power of man to forsake sins, for it is good and the Man-lover, despise my all in knowledge and not in knowledge of sin, and grant me uncondemned communion of the Divine, and most glorious, and most pure, and life-giving Your Mysteries, not in heaviness, neither into torment, nor into the application of sins, but into cleansing, and sanctification, and betrothal of the future Belly and kingdom, into the wall and help, and into the objection of those who resist, into the destruction of many of my sins. Thou art the God of mercy, and bounty, and love for mankind, and we glorify Thee, with the Father, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer 6, St. Basil the Great
We, Lord, as if I unworthily partake of the most pure Thy Body and the honest Thy Blood, and I am guilty, and I drink judgment on myself, not judging the Body and Blood of Thy Christ and my God, but for Thy compassion I dare to come to Thy recruiting: My poisonous flesh and drink my blood, he abides in me, and I am in him. Be merciful for, O Lord, and do not expose me as a sinner, but do with me according to Your mercy; and may this holy be me for healing, and cleansing, and enlightenment, and preservation, and salvation, and for the sanctification of soul and body; to drive away all dreams, and evil deeds, and devil's deeds, thoughtfully acting in my success, in boldness and love, even to You; in the correction of life and confirmation, in the return of virtue and perfection; in fulfillment of the commandments, in the Holy Spirit communion, in the way of the eternal belly, in response, favorable at Thy terrible judgment: not in judgment or in condemnation.
Prayer 7, Saint Simeon the New Theologian
From bad lips, from a vile heart, from an unclean tongue, from the soul defiled, accept prayer, my Christ, and do not despise my words, below images, below innocence. Give me boldly verb, I want it, my Christ, but teach me more that it is fitting for me to create and verb. Those who have sinned more than a harlot, I will also take you away where you dwell, having bought myrrh, come boldly to anoint Your noses, my God, my Master and my Christ. As if he did not reject the one who came from the heart, abhor me below, to the Word: Thine me, give me a nose, and hold and kiss, and tear streams, as if with a precious peace, to anoint this impudently. Wash me with my tears, cleanse me with them, the Word. Leave my sins as well, and grant me forgiveness. Weigh a multitude of evils, weighed and my scabs, and sore my sores, but weighed the faith, and the will of the zrisha, and hear sighing. Thee, my God, my Creator, my Redeemer does not hide, below is a tearful drop, below a drop is a certain part. Thy eyes see my unfinished work, but in Thy bottom and still unfinished the essence is written to You. See my humility, see my labor, and forsake all sins, O God of all: yes, with a pure heart, trembling thought, and a contrite soul, I partake of Thy non-profane and Holy Mysteries, every poisonous image is revived and adored and all poisonous is revived and drunk with a pure heart; Thou art boh, my Lord: everyone who is poisonous to My Flesh, and drink My Blood, in Me, this one dwells, in him, and I am. True is the word of every Lord and my God: partake of divine communion and idolizing graces, not for I am one, but with Thee, my Christ, the Three-solar Light that enlightens the world. Yes, I will not be the only one besides Thee the Life-Giver, my breath, my belly, my joy, the salvation of the world. For this reason, for the sake of those who come to You, as if you see me, with tears, and with a broken soul, I ask for deliverance of my sins, and to partake of Your life-giving and immaculate Sacraments without condemnation, may continue, as you advertise, with me treasured: may you not receive me besides The adorable will delight me more flatteringly, and the deceiver will lead away those who adore Your words. For this, for the sake of You, I fall, and warmly cry Ti: as thou hast received the prodigal, and the harlot who came, so accept me the prodigal and the filthy, Generous. With a contrite soul, now coming to You, vem, Savior, as another, like I, do not sin You, lower than the deed of deeds, even as I do. But this we pack, for it is not the majesty of sins, nor the multitude of sins that surpasses my God, much patience, and extreme philanthropy; but with the mercy of compassion, warmly repenting, and cleanse, and the luminaries, and create the light, the partakers, the associates of Thy Divinity, do not envy, and the strange with both an Angel and a human thought, talk to them many times, like Thy true friend. This is insolently creating me, this one is stealing me, my Christ. And daring in Your rich blessing to us, rejoicing together and trembling, fire and partake of this grass, and strangely miracle, we irrigate unopened, as if the bush was burning in an ancient way. Now with a grateful thought, with a grateful heart, grateful for my good fortune, my soul and body, I bow down and magnify, and praise Thee, my God, as a blessed one exists, now and forever.
Prayer 8, St. John Chrysostom
God, weaken, leave, forgive me my sins, the tree of Thy sinned, if in word, if in deed, if in thought, willingly or unwillingly, with reason or foolishness, forgive me all as good and a Human Lover, and with the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother, Thy intelligent servants and holy powers, and all the saints who have delighted You from time immemorial, delight without condemnation to accept your holy and most pure Body and honest Blood, for the healing of soul and body, and for the cleansing of my wicked thoughts. For Thine is the kingdom and power and glory, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
His 9th
I am pleased, Master Lord, that you come under the roof of my soul; but you still want to, like a Man-lover, to live in me, daring to begin; command, so I will open the doors, you alone created art, and entered with philanthropy as you were, enter and enlighten my darkened thought. I believe that you have done this: do not drive away the harlot who came to you with tears; below the publican you rejected the one who repented; below the thief, having come to know thy kingdom, thou hast driven away; below the persecutor who repented, thou didst, hedgehog: but from repentance to you, all who came to you, in the person of your friends, did you repent, the one blessed one always, now and forever. Amen.
His 10th
O Lord Jesus Christ, my God, weaken, leave, cleanse and forgive me the sinner, and the indecent, and unworthy of Thy servant, sins, and sins, and my fall, my tree from my youth, even to the present day and hour of those who have sinned: if in the mind and in foolishness, even in words or deeds, or thoughts and thoughts, and undertakings, and all my feelings. And by the prayers of the seedless birth of Thee Most Pure and Ever-Virgin Mary, Your Mother, uniting the unashamed hope and intercession and my salvation, grant me uncondemned communion of Your most pure, immortal, life-giving and terrible Your Sacraments, for the forgiveness of sins and sanctification and for eternal life: strength, healing, and health of the soul and body, and into the consumption and all-perfect destruction of my wicked thoughts, and thoughts, and enterprises, and night dreams, dark and wicked spirits; as Thine is the kingdom, and power, and glory, and honor, and worship, with the Father and Thy Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer 11, St. John of Damascus
I stand before the doors of Thy temple, and I do not retreat from fierce thoughts; but thou, Christ God, justifying the publican, and having mercy on Canaanite, and opening the door to the robber of paradise, open the womb of Thy humanity to me, and receive me that comes and touches Thee, like a harlot, and bleeds: Ova, touching the edge of Thy robe, comfort her healing But having restrained Thy most purely nose, I have borne the resolution of sins. But I, accursed, daring to perceive all Your Body, may I not be disgraced; but accept me, as it were, and enlighten my spiritual feelings, burning my sinful guilt, with the seedless prayers of the Birth of You, and of the Heavenly Powers; as blessed art thou forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer of St. John Chrysostom
I believe, O Lord, and I confess that you are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who came to the world of sinners to save, from them I am the first. I still believe that this is Thy most pure Body, and this is Thy most honest Blood. I pray to You: have mercy on me, and forgive my sins, voluntary and involuntary, even in word, even in deed, even knowledge and ignorance, and grant me uncondemned communion of Thy most pure Sacraments, for the remission of sins, and into eternal life. Amen.
Coming to communion, say this prayer in your mind:
Master of Humanity, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, may not this Holy One be in judgments, for a hedgehog unworthy of being: but for the purification and sanctification of the soul and body, and for the betrothal of the future life and kingdom. But for me, a hedgehog to cleave to God, there is good, lay in the Lord the hope of my salvation.
Thy secret suppers are today, Son of God, take my partaker with me; We will not give you the secret of Thy enemy, nor will I give you a kiss, like Judas, but like a robber I confess Thee: remember me, Lord, in Thy Kingdom.
Preparation for Confession of Sins
During confession, a person is reconciled to Christ, he reveals his sins to Him in the presence of a cleric who is a “mediator” between God and man. At the end of the confession, the cleric reads a prayer of absolution over the confessor - he prays to God for the forgiveness of the sins of the repentant.
During confession, you need to talk only about your sins.
You should carefully prepare for confession, and for this you need to realize the sinfulness of your life and understand what sin is - any action or thought that is contrary to the Commandments.
- Disbelief in God, creating idols for yourself, worshiping idols, communicating with magicians;
- Neglect of people, condemnation of their shortcomings, fornication and depraved acts;
- Murder;
- Abortion, which is equivalent to murder (except for medical termination of pregnancy);
- Theft of other people's property, lies and slander.
During the performance of the Sacrament, it is necessary to speak only about your sins, you do not need to minimize them or seek an excuse for them. You should not look for "church" words, you should describe your sins in ordinary language. You should not be ashamed of a priest when describing your misdeeds: a cleric accepts a lot of confessions and is not surprised at anything for a long time, and sins have not changed over the centuries, just each person describes them differently. A priest will never condemn a repentant, he can only give advice on how to act in a given situation, and he will surely pray for every sinner.
There is no need to start confession with "light" sins: breaking the fast, not attending worship services, wearing, for example, trousers (for women). God doesn't need to dig into the little things of the day. He expects from every confessor a renunciation of sin, love and full surrender of heart, patience and forgiveness. It is important to confess possible mortal sins: murder, theft, renunciation, adultery.
Important! The priest can order a penance. This means a prohibition for some time on communion, making a prayer, performing bows to the ground... This is not a punishment for sins, but a means for the destruction of sin and the cleansing of the soul.
Memo to those preparing for Holy Communion
The sacrament should be performed “not in court and not in condemnation,” for this it is necessary to fulfill a number of conditions.
Confession
- A person should understand that he will not only taste the Blood and Flesh of Christ, but will soon unite with the Creator for his sanctification and cleansing of sins.
- The partaker must be completely devoid of hypocrisy and must have the Fear of God, which is the beginning of human wisdom.
- The human soul should experience peace, it should be alien to malice, enmity and hatred. Only in this state can one approach the Chalice.
- It is forbidden to violate church canons, it is necessary to be within the framework of moral life. Only such people are given grace.
- Forgiveness of sins is mandatory before the performance of the Sacrament.
- It is necessary to observe the liturgical fast: from 24 o'clock the night before and until the very acceptance of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, it is forbidden to eat or drink anything. You must start Communion on an empty stomach. On the days of night services before the great holidays, the duration of the liturgical fast should be at least 6 hours. Relaxation is given only to seriously ill people: it is allowed to take medicines and drink them with a sip of water (but before communion it is necessary to notify the priest about this).
- It is important to observe marital fast for several days. But family circumstances should be taken into account, so that this fast is not to the detriment of the communicant and his family. During Bright Week, bodily fasting is allowed not to be observed.
In the church, after reading the prayer "Our Father", the sacrament should go to the altar and wait for the priest to bring out the Chalice with the Gifts. After the clergy leaves the royal doors, you should cross your arms over your chest (put your right hand on your left) and go to the Chalice in turn. The priest needs to voice his name given at baptism, and then reverently receive the Body and Blood of Christ, kiss the edge of the Chalice, go to the table, where pieces of prosphora and warmth are distributed to the partakers. But you can't go home yet; after the sermon, the priest will bring out the Crucifixion, to which you need to kiss with your lips.
Video about preparing for confession
Colonoscopy provides the proctologist with a rare opportunity to visually examine and evaluate inner surface colon. The procedure is performed using a special instrument - a colonoscope. A patient who has received a referral for such an examination for the first time often experiences fear and anxiety, and often refuses to diagnose at all. To allay unnecessary fears, below we will consider the features of the procedure, learn how to prepare for a colonoscopy and talk about the consequences.
The preliminary stage includes not only the production of certain physical manipulations, but also a favorable emotional attitude, the absence of fear and prejudice. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to dwell on some general aspects of the procedure.
Diagnostic device
To study the internal cavities of the colon, doctors have developed a special tool that allows you to identify the disease on early stages its development. The colonoscope has a fairly high degree of resolution and is a flexible structure 180 cm long with a miniature camera and a flashlight attached to the end. The kit includes a device for performing mini-operations.
A colonoscope is not a disposable instrument, but there is no need to worry about it.
Colonoscopes special and universal
Interesting. The processing of equipment in modern disinfecting devices provides for the disinfection of each channel of the optical device separately and completely eliminates the risk of infection.
Indications for colonoscopy
An endoscopic procedure can be both diagnostic and therapeutic. Recently, it has been increasingly used when the following symptoms appear:
- pain of unclear etiology in the intestinal region;
- violation of the stool;
- and blood;
- rapid weight loss.
Colonoscopy is necessary for biopsy sampling, removal of single small polyps and cancer alertness. In addition, it is advisable to undergo the procedure for people who have crossed the 50-year mark.
Interesting. In the United States, colonoscopy is included in the register of mandatory annual examinations for people over 45 years old, and in Germany after 48 years.
Colonoscopy preparation
In order for the procedure to be quick and painless, it is necessary to perform a number of preliminary measures. Preparation for colonoscopy, carried out in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations, will cleanse the intestines from feces and increase the reliability of the diagnosis.
There are two main stages of preliminary measures:
The preparation method is determined by the doctor based on the general condition of the patient and the presence of concomitant diseases.
Stage I - slag-free diet
Preparing for a colonoscopy involves changing your diet. Switching to an easily digestible diet is mandatory for all patients, regardless of comorbidities, stool frequency and consistency.
What is prohibited
3-4 days before the prescribed procedure, you should limit the use of foods that cause fermentation in the intestines and the formation of a large amount of feces:
- fatty and fried meat and dishes from it, sausages, lard;
- legumes;
- fruits and berries with seeds;
- vegetables, especially with skins (tomatoes, bell peppers), cabbage;
- flour products made from yeast dough or wholemeal flour;
- dried fruits, herbs, alcoholic and carbonated drinks.
All vegetables with skins should be excluded from the diet.
Before colonoscopy, you should stop taking iron-containing medications or inform your doctor in advance.
What is allowed
- lactic acid products: kefir, yogurt, yogurt, fermented baked milk, cottage cheese;
- broths on lean meat;
- fruit juices without seeds and pulp;
- white bread, crackers;
- porridge - oatmeal or rice;
- boiled potatoes;
- from drinks - tea, coffee, clean water, jelly.
The main condition of the diet is that all food should be transparent, liquid and without seeds or other indigestible components. Sugar, honey and oils can be consumed in very small quantities, and it is better to do without them.
The day before the colonoscopy, the diet should consist of clear liquids
Attention. The last meal should take place 18–20 hours before the colonoscopy. The rest of the time, it is recommended to consume liquid, transparent dishes and drinks: broth, jelly, jelly, tea or water.
Stage II - cleansing
On the eve of the examination, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the rectum from feces. It is not difficult to do this using a 1.5 liter Esmarch mug or using special preparations to prepare for a colonoscopy, which is more effective. Laxatives should be used strictly according to the instructions, without unauthorized changing the dose or the procedure for taking.
If, for any reason, cleansing the gastrointestinal tract did not work, you should ask the doctor to postpone the procedure to another time.
The use of an enema
The intestine without fecal residues is a prerequisite for high-quality and reliable endoscopic diagnostics. The most common cleaning method is still considered to be an enema. It is Esmarch's circle that most patients prefer.
High-quality intestinal lavage is carried out in 2 stages:
- the first enema before colonoscopy is performed in the evening, on the eve of the study;
- the second - in the morning, before the diagnostic event.
In the evening, it is recommended to carry out 2-3 rinsing procedures in a row, until the appearance of " pure water". Esmarch's mug should be filled with warm liquid so as not to cause a painful spasm. It is advisable to "hold" the water for at least 5-10 minutes.
Advice. If after the third enema the intestines are not free enough, it is recommended to increase the number of procedures to 4–5.
In the morning before the examination, the rinsing must be repeated. The requirements for the event are the same - up to "clean water". Only in the case of complete removal of feces from the intestines, preparation for a colonoscopy can be considered successful. In pathologies that are accompanied by frequent and loose stools, volumetric enemas are contraindicated. In this case, 0.5 liters of water will be enough for the procedure.
Bowel cleansing on the eve of a colonoscopy is often carried out using the Esmarch mug
There are advantages and disadvantages to using Esmarch's mug to keep in mind. The indisputable advantage is the simplicity and availability of the method. Enema does not take much time and effort, it is easy to do it alone, without attracting outsiders. The disadvantages include the need to retain fluid in the rectum for some time, which not everyone can do. In addition, the procedure has contraindications.
Patients suffering from hemorrhoids or having anal lesions and fissures should inform the doctor about this. It is possible that a specialist will advise another way to prepare for an endoscopic examination.
Cleansing the gastrointestinal tract before colonoscopy with laxatives
Recently, specialists are increasingly using more gentle methods of cleaning the intestines - special medications based on macrogol, which must be taken according to a certain scheme.
Before colonoscopy, it will help to quickly and gently remove fecal matter from the rectum and qualitatively prepare for the diagnostic procedure. Doctors recommend several drugs for use, each of which does an excellent job with the task at hand.
One of the most popular based on macrogol. Acts gently and quickly, enhances peristalsis and restores the evacuation process, prevents the loss of electrolytes.
Popular laxative Fortrans
Depends on the time of the diagnostic examination. If the procedure is scheduled in the morning, preparation for the colonoscopy with a laxative begins the day before. The last meal should take place no later than 13.00-13.30. After 3 hours, it is advisable to take the first portion of Fortrans. It is no longer possible to eat at this time, it is only allowed to use clean water.
Advice. It is necessary to prepare a laxative before each use. It is recommended to drink slowly, in small sips.
The first urge to defecate will appear within an hour after using the drug. At the same time, the stool is liquid. Bowel cleansing is quick and ends with a bowel movement with clean water. This means that the patient is ready for the examination.
If the colonoscopy is scheduled for the afternoon, the preparation regimen for the diagnostic procedure changes. In this case, only ½ of the planned dose should be taken the night before. The rest of the solution is recommended to be used in the morning of the next day. It is advisable to do this early, at about 6 o'clock.
Despite its popularity among doctors and patients, the remedy has a number of contraindications:
- pregnancy, lactation period;
- dehydration of the body;
- abdominal pain of unknown etiology;
- intestinal obstruction.
In childhood, Fortrans is used with caution and only under medical supervision.
Bowel cleansing before colonoscopy can be done with Lavacol. The drug is also very popular and is often used to prepare for an endoscopic examination of the colon. It has a quick laxative effect, accelerates the evacuation of contents from the gastrointestinal tract and effectively cleanses the intestines.
Lavacol is often prescribed to prepare for endoscopic examination.
Advice. It is recommended to consume only liquid food during and after taking a laxative. The drug is best used from 14.00 to 19.00 hours.
The first bowel movement appears 60–90 minutes after the initial portion of Lavacol.
Do not use a laxative without a doctor's prescription. The drug has contraindications and often causes side reactions. Overdose can provoke vomiting, headache and deterioration in general well-being.
Which drug to choose - Fortrans or Lavacol
For various endoscopic examinations of the colon, specialists prescribe both drugs with the same frequency or give the patient a choice. Often, having received a referral for diagnostics and detailed explanations of how to cleanse the intestines before a colonoscopy, the patient is faced with a difficult dilemma - which drug to prefer.
Let's carry out a comparative analysis. Both medicines are based on the same active substance, have an identical effect on the body and have almost the same contraindications.
At the same time, there are some differences between them:
- Manufacturer country. Fortrans is produced in France, and Lavacol is produced in Russia.
- Price. The imported drug is much more expensive.
- Taste. Lavacol has a perfectly acceptable taste, reminiscent of a sweet and sour solution. Fortrans is very unpleasant, it can provoke vomiting. This does not affect its pharmacological qualities.
Both agents must be dissolved in water and taken on the eve of the study or on the morning of the diagnosis (Fortrans).
One of the most important sacraments in Orthodoxy is the Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ. This is the moment when the believer unites with the Son of God. However, you should know how the preparation for the sacrament takes place, especially for those who first decided to take it (for example, you need to confess, pray, etc.). This is necessary in order for the correct attitude to appear, the awareness of the future unity with Christ.
Preparing for confession and communion is not a one-day procedure, so you need to know exactly what to do and when. This is exactly what will be discussed in the article.
What is the Sacrament of the Sacrament?
Before you figure out where the preparation for the sacrament begins (this is especially important for beginners), you should know what kind of sacrament it is in general. For the first time, Christ accepted him and commanded him to repeat this to his followers. The first communion took place at the Last Supper on the eve of his crucifixion.
Before the sacrament, a divine service is necessarily performed, which is called Divine Liturgy, or the Eucharist, which is translated from Greek as "thanksgiving." It is this action that Christ performed in the distant past before giving the Holy Communion to his disciples.
Thus, preparation for the sacrament should include memories of these distant ancient events. All this allows you to tune in the right way, which will undoubtedly lead to a deeper acceptance of the Sacrament.
How often should you receive communion?
Preparation for the sacrament (especially for those who do it infrequently or even for the first time) should include the concept of how many times you can participate in this ordinance. Here you should know that this action is voluntary, therefore in no way should you force yourself to do this. The main thing is to come to communion with a pure and light heart, when you want to partake of the Mystery of Christ. For those who are in any doubt, it is better to consult a priest.
It is recommended that you begin the sacrament if you are ready for it internally. The Christian who lives with faith in God can perform this sacrament at every liturgy. If there are still doubts in your heart, but you believe in God and are on this path, then you can take communion once a week or a month. As a last resort, during every big post. However, all this should be regular.
It should also be noted that, according to ancient sources, it was desirable to carry out communion daily, but well and four times a week (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday). Those who are just taking the path of Christian faith should know that there is one day in the year - Great Thursday (before Easter), when communion is simply necessary, this is a tribute ancient tradition that started it all. It is also written about it in the article above.
Some clergy believe that frequent partaking of the sacrament is unacceptable. However, it should immediately be said that, according to canonical laws, they are wrong. Here you need to look into a person very deeply and see how much he really needs this action. In addition, the sacrament should not be mechanical. Therefore, if it is done often, then the layman must constantly keep himself in good shape, be ready to accept the Gifts. Not everyone can do it, so what is described in this article about preparation should happen regularly. Constant prayer, confession and observance of all fasts. The priest should know about all this, since such a life cannot really be hidden.
Prayer rule before communion
So, now we will more specifically consider all the points that need to be considered before preparing for the sacrament. First of all, it should be noted that home prayer before the Sacrament is very important. In the Orthodox Prayer Book, there is a special sequence that is read before communion. This is preparation for the sacrament. The prayers that are read before this, not only at home, but also in the church, are also included in the preparation for the Sacrament. It is imperative to attend the service immediately before the Sacrament, but in general it is advisable to do this every day.
- prayer canon of the Mother of God;
- penitential canon to Jesus Christ;
- canon to the Guardian Angel.
Thus, conscious preparation for the sacrament and confession, prayers from a pure heart can help the believer to feel the importance of the Sacrament and spiritually prepare for this miracle.
Observance of the fast before communion
It is equally important to fast before the sacrament. This is a prerequisite. After all, Holy Communion, preparation for which must take place consciously, is a very important rite, and it must not be mechanical, otherwise there will be no benefit from it.
So, for those believers who regularly observe multi-day and one-day fasts, only the so-called liturgical fast is allowed. Its meaning is not to eat and drink from twelve o'clock in the morning before accepting the Sacrament. This fast continues in the morning (i.e., the sacrament takes place on an empty stomach).
For those parishioners who do not observe any fasts, as well as those who have just joined Orthodoxy, the priest can establish a seven-day or three-day fast before the sacrament. All such nuances should be coordinated additionally in the church and not be afraid to ask about them.
How to behave, what thoughts to avoid before the Sacrament
When preparation for the sacrament begins, one must realize one's sins in in full... But besides this, so that there are no more of them, you need to refrain from various amusements, for example, going to the theater, watching TV. Spouses need to give up physical contact the day before the sacrament and on the day it is received.
Particular attention should be paid to your mood, behavior and thoughts. Make sure not to condemn anyone, discard obscene and evil thoughts. Do not succumb to bad mood, irritation. Free time should be spent in seclusion, indulging in spiritual reading or prayer (as much as possible).
It should be noted that the most important thing for receiving the Holy Gifts of Christ is repentance. A person must sincerely repent of his deeds. It is on this that you need to focus your attention. Fasting, prayer, reading Scriptures are just a means of achieving this state. And this must be remembered.
How to prepare for confession
Confession before the sacrament is very important. Contact the priest of the church where you are going to receive the Sacrament for this request. Preparation for the sacrament and confession is a special attitude aimed at correcting your sins, your bad behavior and unclean thoughts, as well as keeping track of everything that contradicts and violates the commandments of the Lord. All that was found and consciously, and should be confessed. But remember about sincerity, do not turn the conversation with the priest into just a formal listing of sins on the list.
So why is such a serious preparation for confession and communion necessary? One should realize one's sins in advance in order to know what to tell the priest about. It often happens that a believer comes, but does not know what to say, where to start. You also need to tune in to the fact that the priest is just a guide, the Sacrament of Penance remains with him and the Lord. Therefore, there is no need to feel embarrassed when talking about your sins. This is necessary to purify yourself and continue your life freely.
Confession before the Sacrament: Awareness of Sins
So, the preparation for confession and communion is over. But the most difficult thing is yet to come. When you come to confession, open your heart without waiting for the priest's questions. Tell everything that lies like a stone on your soul. It is better to perform this action in the evening, on the eve of the Liturgy, although it would not be a mistake to do this in the morning before it.
If you are going to receive communion for the first time, then it is better to confess the day before. This is necessary so that the priest has time to listen to you. If you want to confess in the morning, then choose a day when there are few people. For example, there are a lot of parishioners in the church on Sunday, so the priest will not be able to listen to you in detail. After confessing your sins, you should adhere to the correct path and strive with all your might not to commit them in the future, otherwise what was the meaning of this spiritual conversation?
Communion day. What to do?
There are some rules to follow on the day of the sacrament. As mentioned above, you need to go to the temple on an empty stomach. If you smoke, then you need to refrain from cigarettes until you accept the Gifts of Christ. In the church, when the moment comes for them to be carried out, you need to approach the altar, but let the children go ahead if they come, since they are the first to receive communion.
You do not need to be baptized near the Chalice; you just need to bow in advance, crossing your arms over your chest. Before accepting gifts, you need to say your christian name, and then eat them immediately.
What should be done after a person has received the Holy Communion?
The rules for preparing for the sacrament also include the knowledge of what to do after the Sacrament has taken place. Kiss the edge of the Bowl and go to the table with prosphora to eat a bite. Do not leave the church until you have kissed the altar cross held by the priest.
Also in the temple are read thanksgiving prayers to be listened to. As a last resort, you can read them yourself at home. Keep the purity you received within your soul. Each time it will be easier and easier.
What you need to know about communion with children and the sick
It should be said that little children (up to the age of seven) receive communion without confession. They also do not need to prepare the way an adult does (fasting, prayer, repentance). Those babies who have received baptism receive communion on the same day or during the next liturgy that follows their baptism.
Exceptions are also made for the sick. They don't have to prepare the way they do healthy people, however, if possible, you should at least confess. But if the patient cannot do this, then the priest reads "I believe, Lord, and I confess." Then he immediately gives communion.
In church practice, they do not refuse to accept the Holy Gifts by those parishioners who are excommunicated for a while from the sacrament, but are on their deathbed or in danger. However, upon recovery (if this happens), the prohibition continues to apply.
Who cannot partake of the sacrament
Preparing for the sacrament for beginners includes knowing who is unable to receive it. This will be discussed below:
- those who have not confessed cannot take the sacrament (with the exception of children under the age of seven);
- parishioners who have been excommunicated from the reception of the Holy Sacraments also cannot receive communion;
- those who are insensible;
- parishioners who are insane and possessed in the event that they blaspheme in their seizures (if this does not happen, then you can receive communion, but this should not happen every day);
- spouses who had an intimate life on the eve of the reception of the Sacraments;
- women who are menstruating cannot receive communion.
A Brief Memo for Communioners and Confessors
So, now let's summarize all the moments that arise when preparation for confession and communion takes place. The memo will help you not to forget all the steps.
- Awareness of sin.
- Repentance is perfect, a special state when you have forgiven everyone and do not feel evil.
- Preparing for confession. Here it is necessary to reconsider what sins can be: in relation to God, those close to oneself (smoking, for example), carnal sins, those that relate to the family (infidelity and the like).
- Correct and sincere, without concealment, confession.
- Fasting as needed.
- Prayers.
- Communion itself.
- Further retention of purity and Christ in the body.
Separately, it should be said about how to behave in church during communion.
- Don't be late for the liturgy.
- You need to cross yourself when opening the royal doors, then fold your arms crosswise. Approach and leave the Chalice in the same way.
- Come up with right side, and the left one should be free. Do not push.
- The sacrament should take place in turn: the bishop, elders, deacons, subdeacons, readers, children, adults.
- Women need to go to the temple without lipstick.
- Before accepting the gifts of Christ, do not forget to give your name.
- People are not baptized directly in front of the Chalice.
- It happens that the Holy Gifts are given from two or more Cups. In this case, you should choose one, since communion more than times a day is considered a sin.
- At home, after communion, you need to read thanksgiving prayers, if you did not listen to them in church.
Now, perhaps, you know all the stages that include the sacrament in church, preparation for it. It is very important to approach this consciously, with deep faith in your heart. The most important thing is repentance for your sins, which should be true, and not just in words. But this is also not worth dwelling on. It is necessary to reject sin from life as something alien, to understand that it is impossible to live like that, to realize that lightness can come only with purity.
Finally
So, as we can see, preparation for the sacrament is a serious stage before the Sacrament itself. All recommendations should be followed in order to come ready to receive the gifts of Christ. It is necessary to realize in advance the importance of this moment, and therefore more fervent prayer is required. And to cleanse the body of the believer will help observance of the fast, to cleanse the soul - confession to the priest. Conscious preparation for the sacrament and confession will help the parishioner understand that this Sacrament is not one of the many rituals, but something deeper. This is a special communion with the Lord, as a result of which the life of a Christian changes dramatically.
However, it should be taken into account (this is important first of all for those parishioners who have just set foot on the path of repentance) that it is impossible to fix everything at once. If you have been building up the sinful burden for decades, then you need to get rid of it gradually. And partaking of the sacrament is the first step on this path.
How to Prepare for Confession and the Sacrament? Preparation for confession and communion, especially for the first time, raises many, many questions. I remember my first communion. How difficult it was for me to understand everything. In this article you will receive answers to the questions: what to say to a priest in confession - an example? how to receive communion and confess correctly? the rules of the sacrament in the church? how to confess for the first time? how to prepare for the sacrament? The answer to these questions is given by the modern Greek preacher, Archimandrite Andrew (Konanos) and other priests.
Other helpful articles:The sacrament was instituted by Jesus Christ Himself at his last meal with the Apostles. The modern Greek preacher and theologian Archimandrite Andrew (Konanos) says if people realized what Gift of union with God they receive during the sacrament, because now the blood of Christ flows in their veins ... if they realized this fully, their life would change a lot!
Unfortunately, most people during the sacrament are like children playing with precious stones and not understanding their value.
The rules of the sacrament can be found in any Temple. They are usually set out in a small book called HOW TO PREPARE FOR HOLY COMMONMENT. These are the simple rules:
- Before communion you need Fast 3 days- eat only plant foods (give up meat, dairy products and eggs).
- Necessary be at evening service the day before communion day.
- Necessary confess either at the evening service or on the day of the sacrament at the very beginning of the liturgy (the morning service during which the sacrament takes place).
- It takes a few days more pray hard- for this, read the morning and evening prayers and read the canons: Canon of repentance to our Lord Jesus Christ ,
Prayer Canon to the Most Holy Theotokos,
Canon to the Angel of Christ,
Follow-up to Holy Communion *. * If you have never read the Canons (in the Church Slavonic language), you can listen to the audio (available on prayer book sites at the indicated links). - You need to take communion on an empty stomach (do not eat or drink anything in the morning). An exception is made for people who are sick, such as diabetics, for whom food and medicine are vital.
If you begin to take communion at each liturgy, every Sunday, your confessor will be able to allow you to fast less and not to read all the specified prayers. Do not be afraid to ask the priest and consult with him.
How is the sacrament in church?
Suppose you decide to receive the Holy Communion on Sunday. So, the night before (Saturday) you need to come to the evening service. Usually evening service in Temples starts at 17:00. Find out what time the liturgy (morning service) begins on Sunday, during which the sacrament itself will take place. Usually, the morning service at the Temples starts at 9:00 am. If there was no confession at the evening service, then confess at the beginning of the morning service.
Approximately in the middle of the service, the Priest will take the Chalice out of the altar. All who were preparing for the sacrament gather near the bowl and fold their hands on their right chest over the left. They approach the bowl carefully so as not to turn it over. With a spoon, the priest gives the sacraments the Holy Gifts - a piece of the body and blood of Christ under the guise of bread and wine.
After that, you need to go to the end of the Temple, where you will be given a drink. This is water diluted with wine. You need to drink it down so that not a single drop or crumb of the Eucharist is lost. Only then can one cross. At the end of the service, you need to listen to prayers of thanks.
How to Prepare for Confession? What is an example to say to a priest in confession? List of sins
The main rule in confession, which priests always remind about, is not to retell sins. Because if you start retelling the story of how you committed a sin, then you will involuntarily begin to justify yourself and blame others. Therefore, in confession sins are simply named. For example: pride, envy, foul language, etc. And in order not to forget anything, use a list of sins against God, against neighbors, against yourself(usually such a list is in the booklet "HOW TO PREPARE FOR HOLY COMMONMENT".
Write your sins on a piece of paper so you don't forget anything. Come to the Temple early in the morning so as not to be late for confession and for the general prayer before confession. Before confession, go to the priest, cross yourself, attach to the Gospel and to the cross, and start listing the previously recorded sins. After confession, the priest will read the prayer of permission and say whether you are admitted to the sacrament.
It very rarely happens when a priest for your correction does not admit you to the sacrament. This is, among other things, a test of your pride.
It is important during confession, when naming a sin, to make a promise not to repeat it. It is very important on the eve of communion to come to terms with enemies and forgive your offenders.
How to confess for the first time?
The first confession is often called the general confession. As a rule, practically all sins from the list of sins against God, neighbor and oneself are included in the leaflet with the list of sins. Father will surely understand that you have come to confession for the first time and will help you with advice on how to try not to repeat sins and mistakes.
Hopefully the article "How to Prepare for Confession and Communion?" will help you make up your mind and go to confession and communion. This is important for your soul, because confession is the purification of the soul. We wash our bodies every day, but we don’t care about the purity of our souls!
If you have never confessed or received communion and it seems to you that it is very difficult to prepare, I recommend that you do this feat anyway. The reward will be great. I assure you you have not experienced anything like this before. After the sacrament, you will feel an extraordinary and incomparable spiritual joy.
The most difficult thing usually seems to be reading the canons and following up to Holy Communion. Indeed, it is difficult to read the first time. Take advantage of the audio recording and listen to all these prayers for 2-3 evenings.
Listen to the story of priest Andrei Tkachev in this video about how long (usually several years) separates a person from the desire to go to the first confession until the moment of the first confession.
I wish everyone to enjoy life and thank God for everything!
