☦️ Orthodox Prayer for the Departed

For the Departed~
O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which they have committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.

For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

love the phrase 'a place of refreshment'

Just a couple days ago I visited the Russian Orthodox Monastery in Jordanville, NY. The Museum is filled with some wonderful exhibits, including a large icon previously hung in Leningrad/St. Petersberg Duma, but was sold off to an art collector by the communists.
