1. Akathist to the Mother of God "Pantanassa" Healer of Cancer

     This is a completely new edition of the Akathist to the renowned Icon of the Mother of God "Pantanassa" or "Queen of All," an Athonite miracle-working icon. A copy of this icon is also treasured in Russia. Both icons are beloved for the many healings of cancer worked through them. This Akathist is perfect for use in the home and for those who gather together to pray for others with cancer. It includes a History of the Icon and a Homily on Healing by the late Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh.

This pocket-sized, user-friendly edition is printed on glossy paper, just as the others in the series. Both covers and inner pages are in full color, including two icons of the Mother of God. 32 pages, $4.50.

Rejoice, O Queen of All, who dost heal our infirmities by Thy grace!

2. Akathist to St. Luke the Blessed Surgeon, Compassionate Healer

    In response to the numerous prayer requests for those facing surgery, we are pleased to offer this Akathist to St. Luke, the Blessed Surgeon. St. Luke of Simferopol - the renowned surgeon and revered hierarch of the Church - was a true father, shepherd and healer for the faithful through decades of Communist persecution. His grace-filled skill as a surgeon, even in the worst conditions, brought healing to countless people wherever he was -- whether in one of the great hospitals or in exile, operating on a wooden table with only a pocket knife. Miracles still abound through the grace of his intercession, and thousands flock to his holy relics. This pocket-sized, user-friendly edition is printed on glossy paper, just as the others in the series. Both cover and inner pages are in full color, including two icons of the saint. 32 pages.

3. Canon to the Lord for a Sick Child

This deeply moving canon of prayer eloquently expresses the heart-felt anguish of anyone in need of praying for a sick child. Includes a full introduction of insightful counsels by a Russian Orthodox Priest-Pediatrician, and the following prayers at the end: Prayer for a Sick Child, Prayer for a Child Suffering Great Pain, Prayer of Thanksgiving for Healing. 36 pages.

O Lord, show the power of Thy mercy!

4. Akathist to the Mother of God, "The Inexhaustible Cup"

Written to the miracle-working icon of the same name, this akathist appeals to the Virgin for help in healing those addicted to alcohol or drugs; it may be prayed either by those suffering from addiction or by another person on their behalf. Many miraculous healings have occurred through the grace of this holy icon. 32 pages.

Rejoice, O Sovereign Lady, Thou Inexhaustible Cup that quenches our spiritual thirst!
