One priest once saw a young fisherman in a dream. The young man had a golden fishing rod with a silver line - and suddenly he pulled an elderly, venerable-looking woman out of the abyss onto the shore. “What kind of strange dream did I have?” the priest was surprised. The next morning he looked out the window and noticed not far from the church wall the same young man from his dream. Only now the young man was on his knees and diligently praying. The priest called him to him and began to ask: who is he, where is he from, and what is he doing here? “A few days ago my mother died and was buried near the church,” the young man answered. “And I vowed to read for her soul every day for forty days in a row.” grave prayer "Our Father" and the 50th Psalm. That's why I come here every day... And the priest guessed that he saw in a dream the soul of this young man's mother, who was saved by his prayers. The golden fishing rod in the hands of her son is the Lord's prayer "Our Father", and the silver fishing line is the 50th Psalm "Have mercy on me, O God...", which saved the mother of the righteous young man from posthumous torment.
