Question: Blessings, Father. Could you please tell me to whom
and how I should pray so that God helps me to start a family? Julia.

To whom should we pray? Perhaps, there is someone who
is close to you now – a saint, the Mother of God or the Savior Himself. For
example, there is a prayer to St. Peter and Fevronia (you can also read their
life story); you can pray to martyrs Gurias, Samon and Abibus or any other
saint with whom you feel you have a spiritual connection. The main thing is
than you have to understand that making a family is not just a matter of luck,
but a cross, which you will have to bear not for a year or two, but for your
whole life. Family makes people be responsible for one another. It is really
hard. May the Lord help you bear it with humility and trust in God.
