The following commemoration of the living and the departed is according to the monastic daily office. Non-monastics can add these prayers after the morning prayers or at some other time during the day.
Remember, O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Thy mercies
and bounties which are from all eternity, and through which Thou didst become man and
didst will to suffer crucifixion and death for the salvation of those who rightly believe
in Thee, and having risen from the dead didst ascend into heaven, and sittest at the right
hand of God the Father and regardest the humble entreaties of those who call upon Thee
with all their heart: incline Thy ear, and hear the humble prayer of me, Thy worthless
servant, as the fragrance of spiritual incense, which I offer to Thee for all people. And
first remember Thy Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, which Thou hast provided through
Thy Precious Blood. Confirm, strengthen, extend, and increase her, and keep her in peace,
and for ever proof against the power of hell. Calm the dissensions of the Churches, and
foil the plans of the powers of darkness, dispel the prejudice of the nations, and quickly
ruin and root out the risings of heresy, and frustrate them by the power of the Holy
Spirit. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on our president and
all in authority throughout the world, commanders-in-chief of armies and navies and
airfleets, governors of provinces and cities, and all the Christ-loving navies, armies and
police; protect their power with peace, and subdue under their feet every enemy and foe,
and speak peace and blessing in their hearts for Thy Holy Church, and for all Thy people,
and grant that in their calm we too may lead a quiet and peaceful life in true belief, in
all piety and honesty. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on Orthodox Patriarchs,
Metropolitans, Archbishops and Bishops, the Priests and Deacons, and all who serve in the
Church, and whom Thou hast ordained to feed Thy spiritual flock; and by their prayers,
have mercy on me, a sinner. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on my Spiritual Father (name)
and by his prayers forgive me my sins. Bow.
If a parish, add:
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on our father (parish
priest or abbot of monastery), with all his brethren in Christ, and by their prayers have
mercy on me, wretch that I am. Bow.
If a monastery, add:
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on all workers in this
holy community, our brethren and all manual workers, and lay-workers, and farm labourers
of this monastery, and all Christians. Bow.
Adapt petition as needed:
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on my parents (names), my spouse
(name), my children (names), my brothers and sisters and all my relatives, and the neighbours of my family, and friends
- and grant them Thy worldly and spiritual goods. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy according to the
multitude of Thy bounties, on all priests, monks and nuns, and on all living in virginity,
devotion and fasting, in monasteries, in deserts, in caves, on mountains, on pillars, in
hermitages, in the clefts of rocks, and right faith in every place of Thy dominion, and
devoutly serving Thee, and praying to Thee. Lighten their burden, console them in their
afflictions, and grant them strength, power and perseverance in their struggle, and by
their prayers grant me remission of sins. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on the old and the
young, the poor and destitute, the orphans and widows, the leper colonies, epileptics and
spastics, and those in sickness and sorrow, misfortune and tribulation, captives and
exiles, in mines and prisons and reformatories, and especially on those of Thy servants
suffering persecution for Thy sake and for the Orthodox Faith from godless peoples,
apostates and heretics. Visit, strengthen, comfort, and heal them, and by Thy power quickly
grant them relief, freedom and deliverance. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on our benefactors, who
have mercy on us and feed us, and relieve us of anxiety by giving us alms, and entrust us,
unworthy as we are, to pray for them; and give them Thy grace, and grant them all their
requests which conduce to salvation, and the attainment of eternal joy. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on the Fathers and
Sisters, and our Brotherhood, and on all Orthodox Christians who are messengers and
missionaries in Thy service, and are travelling. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on those whom I have
offended or scandalized by my madness or inadvertence, and whom I have turned from the way
of salvation, and whom I have led into evil and harmful deeds. By Thy divine providence
restore them again to the way of salvation. Bow.
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on those who hate and
offend me, and do me harm, and let them not perish through me, a sinner. Bow.
Illumine with the light of grace all
apostates from the Orthodox Faith, and those blinded by pernicious heresies, and draw them
to Thyself, and unite them to Thy Holy, Apostolic, Catholic Church. Bow.
