When a loved one passes away, it is always difficult and his relatives grieve and yearn for a long time. To help the soul get used to that world, it is necessary to read a memorial prayer. You can do this at home and in church, putting a candle for the repose.
Prayer for deceased parents
Living people turn to God to save the soul of the deceased and advance God to mercy. It is worth noting the fact that petitioning for the dead helps the living to be saved, as they tune in to the heavenly mood. It helps to escape from the daily hustle and bustle and protect yourself from evil. Prayer for the repose of the soul of the deceased parent helps to accept the inevitable and calm down, and it will also make it easier for her to pass the tests after her repose.
One way to express concern for deceased parents is to read the Psalter. It is necessary to read one kathisma daily for the first 40 days after the death of a relative. This will help to provide the soul with quick peace, a sense of freedom and the possibility of being in Paradise. You can say prayer texts at any time of the day.
Prayer for the dead mother
The loss of a parent is a difficult test for a person at any age, and in order to alleviate one's own condition and help the soul of a loved one, one should turn to God. A prayer for the deceased mother is read, both for the first 40 days after her death, and on all memorial dates, anniversaries of birth and death. It is worth noting that no one forbids reading petitions at any time when you want to. It is important to approach God with a pure heart.
While reading a prayer for the departed, you must try to renounce your own grief and despondency. Black sorrow is a serious violation of the commandments, which places a heavy burden on both the praying person and the deceased mother. It is worth saying that a petition for repose can be ordered in a church, but it is best to read the texts on your own. You should not use photographs or ritual objects, as this will be considered a sin. It is necessary to take and put it near the icon.
Prayer for the deceased father
The prayer text presented above can also be used to ask for God's mercy for the deceased father. In addition to canonical texts, you can simply turn to the Higher Forces from the bottom of your heart in your own words. The rest of the soul is a complex religious sacrament, which is realized with the help of church prayers and rituals. If nothing is done, then a person deprives his father of support and it will be difficult for him to go through the process of atonement for the mistakes made during his lifetime. The prayer for the reassurance of the soul of the deceased father must be read thoughtfully and sensually.
“God rest, Lord, the soul of the deceased servant (s) of yours (name), and forgive him all his sins, voluntary and involuntary, and grant him the Kingdom of Heaven. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
Widow's Prayer for Her Deceased Husband
The death of a beloved spouse drives a woman into a deep depression and a feeling of hopelessness arises. In such a situation, it is important not to forget that the soul of a deceased person needs support. For this purpose, there is a special prayer for the deceased spouse, which must be read for the first 40 days after death. In addition, the Psalter should be recited daily, all 20 kathismas in order. It is also recommended to go to the temple to perform a funeral rite and order a funeral service, magpie, liturgy and memorial service.
To help herself survive grief, a woman is recommended to turn to God with a request to give strength to survive grief and live on. He will certainly hear and give strength to cope with the trouble. It will not be superfluous herself, but also to talk with the priest about the grief that happened. It is important to remember that a prayer for the deceased can be said in your own words, the main thing is that it comes from a pure heart, because this is important for the soul of the spouse to be reunited with God.
Husband's prayer for his dead wife
There are prayer petitions that no one can read for a person, and this group includes texts intended for widows and widowers. All the recommendations described earlier are acceptable in this case. A prayer for a deceased wife can be read in a church or at home, the main thing is solitude in order to be able to fully immerse yourself in a dialogue with the Higher powers. It is recommended to pray in front of the icon, next to which a candle should be lit. Make a petition with great faith in the eternal life of the soul and the meeting after the Last Judgment.
Mother's prayer for dead children
Priests recommend praying in the temple, but home appeals to the Higher Forces are a lifesaver for dead people. Prayer for deceased children and other people that are said at home is called the “cell rule”. There is a main petition for dead people - a commemoration book and it can be found in every prayer book. The Church commands to ask God daily for children who have passed away, reading the following text:
Prayer for the dead unbaptized
The church is ambivalent about lost souls, that is, dead people who were not baptized during their lifetime, but there is a prayer that relatives can read for them. It is important to bear in mind that it is impossible to order a liturgy for unbaptized dead people in the church. Prayer for unbaptized dead people can be addressed not only to the saints, but also to God, since every person who has lived a righteous life has the right to forgiveness and protection.
There are many legends about the holy martyr Uare, who is considered to be the patron saint of the lost. During his lifetime, he did many good things, having the opportunity to help Christians who were imprisoned for their faith. It is worth noting that the prayer for the dead to the martyr Uaru weakens the eternal torment of the unbaptized soul, but at the same time it does not guarantee him a place in Paradise.
Prayer for the deceased up to 40 days
Memorial prayer is considered an obligation of every believer. According to church canons, it is important to read prayer appeals during the first 40 days after death. All the texts presented above are suitable for this. It is important to bear in mind that it is allowed to say prayers at home that are forbidden to be mentioned at church services.
Prayer for the departed people should be read in the church as often as possible. This should be done not only on the days intended for remembrance, but also at other times. The main thing is a short prayer at the Divine Liturgy, when a bloodless sacrifice is made to God. This is followed by a memorial service, which is served in front of a special table. During it, offerings are left in memory of the people who have passed away. You should also order magpie, which begins on the day of death and lasts 40 days.
We should also talk about how to pray in a cemetery, which is considered a holy place where the bodies of dead people rest until their future resurrection. It is important to always keep the grave clean, and the cross is considered a preacher of Sunday. Coming to the cemetery, you need to light a candle and read a prayer. You can not eat and drink at the grave, as this defiles the memory of the deceased person. The tradition of leaving a glass of vodka and a piece of bread on the grave is considered a pagan relic.
