Prayer on memorial days for the souls of the dead
Know, Lord our God, faith has hope for the eternal life of Your departed servants (names) . I, as a Good One and a People-lover, who allows sins and lies, is weakened, let me forgive all their free and fleeting sins.
Release them from eternal torment and fire hell and grant them the sacrament and the fruit of your eternal ones for quiet, whom You love. Because they even sinned, but did not come before You. Without a doubt, they believed in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. And the Trinity of the glorious God and the Trinity in Orthodox Unity were celebrated until the last of their death.
Be merciful to them, and accept the faith in You as a substitute, and with Your saints, as you are Generous, peace є people who lived and did not sin. You are the only one without thirsty sin, and Your truth is eternal. You alone are the God of mercy and generosity, and love of humanity. And we send glory to you, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always, and forever and ever. Amen.
