Intercession for the Departed Clergy and Faithful
A prayer for the rest of departed patriarchs, bishops, and clergy in the eternal dwelling places.
Remember, Lord, the most holy patriarchs, the most reverend Orthodox metropolitans, archbishops, and bishops who have passed from this life, and all who served You as priests, church ministers, or in the monastic order; grant them rest with the saints in Your eternal dwelling places.
Commemoration of Loved Ones
A personal petition for the forgiveness of sins and the granting of eternal life to family and friends.
Lord, remember the souls of your departed servants: my parents (names), my relatives (names), all those close to me by blood, and my friends. Forgive all their sins, both voluntary and involuntary, and grant them your Kingdom, a share in your eternal blessings, and the joy of your endless and blessed life.
The Hope of Resurrection
A communal prayer for all departed Orthodox Christians, asking for mercy and eternal memory in the light of God's face.
Remember, Lord, all Orthodox Christians who have departed in the hope of resurrection and eternal life—our fathers, brothers, and sisters, those buried here and everywhere. Grant them a dwelling place with Your saints, where the light of Your face shines, and have mercy on us, for You are good and love humanity. Amen. Lord, grant forgiveness of sins to all our fathers, brothers, and sisters who have passed on before us in faith and in the hope of resurrection, and let their memory be eternal.

Помяни, Господи, от жития сего отшедшия святейшия патриархи, преосвященныя митрополиты, архиепископы и епископы православныя, во иерейстем же и в причте церковнем, и монашестем чине Тебе послужившия, и в вечных Твоих селениих со святыми упокой.
Помяни, Господи, души усопших рабов Твоих, роди́телей мои́х (имя), сро́дников (имя), и вся ближния рода моего, и други; и прости их вся согрешения вольная и невольная, даруя им Царствие и причастие вечных Твоих благих и Твоея безконечныя и блаженныя жизни наслаждение.
Помяни, Господи, и вся в надежди воскресения и жизни вечныя усопшия, отцы и братию нашу, и сестры, и зде лежащия и повсюду, православныя христианы, и со святыми Твоими, идеже присещает свет лица Твоего, всели, и нас помилуй, яко Благ и Человеколюбец. Аминь.
Подаждь, Господи, оставление грехов всем прежде отшедшим в вере и надежди воскресения, отцем, братиям и сестрам нашим и сотвори им вечную память.
