Memory Eternal

We remember today the repose of one of our parish members 2 yrs ago. May his memory be eternal.

“With the spirits of the righteous made perfect, give rest to the soul of Thy servant, O Saviour; and preserve it in that life of blessedness which is with Thee, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

In the place of Thy rest, O Lord, where all Thy Saints repose, give rest also to the soul of Thy Servant; for Thou only lovest mankind. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

Thou art our God, who descended into Hell, and loosed the bonds of those who were there: Thyself give rest also to the soul of Thy Servant.

Now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

O Virgin, alone pure and immaculate, who without stain didst bring forth God, intercede for the salvation of his soul.”

– from the Trisagion Prayers for the Dead
