Save, Lord, and have mercy on our fathers, brothers, and sisters who live
with patient faith in the monasteries of the Holy Mountain, Russia,
America, and any other place. Through their prayers, have mercy on me a
sinner.
_Prostration._
Save, Lord, and have mercy, according to the multitude of Thy
compassions, on all hieromonks, monks, and nuns, and on all who in
virginity, reverence, and fasting live in monasteries, in deserts and
caves, on mountains and pillars, in hermitages and cleft rocks, on
islands in the sea, and who live in the True Faith in every place of Thy
dominion, serving Thee piously and praying to Thee. Lighten their burden
and console them in sorrow. Grant them strength and resolution in their
struggles, and grant me remission of sins through their prayers.
_Prostration._
Save, Lord, and have mercy on the old and the young, the poor, the
orphans and widows, and on those who are in sickness and in sadness, in
misfortunes and in sorrow, in war and in captivity, in prison and in
exile--especially those who, being Thy servants, are persecuted for Thy
sake and the Orthodox Faith by godless heathens, apostates, and heretics.
Remember, visit, strengthen, and comfort them, giving them early release,
freedom, and deliverance by Thy might.
_Prostration._
Save, Lord, and have mercy on our benefactors who have mercy on us and
feed us, giving us alms and security, and ask us to pray for them,
despite our unworthiness. Be Thou merciful to them and grant their every
petition for salvation and the reward of eternal good things.
_Prostration._
Save, Lord, and have mercy on all our fathers, brothers, and sisters and
all Orthodox Christians who are travelling in Thy service.
_Prostration._
Save, Lord, and have mercy on those whom I have caused to stumble,
turning them away from the path of salvation and leading them to evil and
unseemly deeds. Return them to the path of salvation by Thy Divine
Providence.
_Prostration._
Save, Lord, and have mercy on those who hate and offend me, and do me
harm. Do not let them perish because of me, a sinner.
_Prostration._
Enlighten with the light of Thy knowledge those who have left the
Orthodox Faith and have been blinded by devastating heresies, reuniting
them to Thy Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
_Prostration._
For the Departed
Remember, Lord, all Orthodox Patriarchs and Metropolitans; archbishops
and bishops; priests and those who serve in holy orders; those who serve
Thee in monastic ranks and the blessed founder of our holy community (or
Church). Grant them rest with the saints in Thine eternal dwellings.
_Prostration._
Remember, Lord, the souls of Thy departed servants, my parents
________(if they are already dead), and all my relatives according to the
flesh. Forgive all their sins, both voluntary and involuntary. Grant them
participation in Thine eternal good things and the enjoyment of the
eternal and blessed life.
_Prostration._
