Аудиокнига о сятой блаженной Матроне Московской + Акафист Матроне Московской. Для простого народа Матрона Блаженная стала святой еще при жизни. Ни одному человеку не отказала она в просьбе! Всех выслушивала, и каждый (!), кто приходил к ней, получал помощь. Поэтому и после смерти ее уже более полувека люди молятся на ее чудотворный лик, читают и слушают о чудесах и пророчествах, ей творимых, и потоком неисчислимым идут к образу ее и мощам ее, что в Покровском монастыре находятся, чтобы просить исцеления, помощи, совета. Идут, потому что знают, что услышаны они будут и помощь получат незамедлительно. В запись включена молитва, обращенная к Святой Матроне Московской в исполнении священника Иакова Амбарцумова. Содержит 15 треков с общим временем звучания 4:14:59. Для ознакомления доступна первая глава аудиокниги. Стоимость всей книги — 229 ₽
