The ever-flowing, animal and enlightening Source, co-essential with the Father, the creative power, who beautifully fulfilled all the vision for human salvation, Christ our God, broke the bonds of death and the rivets of hell, and trampled down many evil spirits: He brought for Himself the immaculate slaughter for us, and gave the Most Pure Body as a sacrifice for all sin. inviolable and impassable, and by this terrible and inscrutable sacred rite, an eternal life bestowed upon us: he descended into hell, and crushed the eternal faiths, and showed the sunrise to those who sit in darkness: the beginning of the evil and deep serpent, caught by God-wise flattery, and tied with chains of darkness in Tartarus and the fires are unquenchable, and in the outer darkness your innumerable strength has been strengthened with strength: the great wisdom of the Father, the great helper who has appeared and enlightened those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death!
You, ever-present glory, Lord and beloved Son of the Most High, ever-present in the light of the ever-present light, sun of righteousness, hear us praying to You, and give rest to the souls of Your servants, our fathers and brothers who have fallen before us, and others who are related in the flesh, and all of our own in the faith, of whom we create memory now: for in You is the power of all, and in the hand Yours contains all the ends of the earth. Master Almighty, God the Father and Lord of mercy, the Creator of the mortal and immortal race and of all human nature, which is composed and resolvable, life and death, between being here and going there: measure the years of the living and set the times of death: bring down to hell: bind in weakness and let go in strength: real Build as needed and manage the future usefully: cheer the mortal sting of the wounded with the hopes of resurrection!
For Himself, Lord of all, God our Savior, Hope of all the ends of the earth and those who are in the seas far away, likewise, and on this last and great saving day of the Pentecost feast, He showed us the mystery of the Holy and consubstantial and co-essential and inseparable and unchangeable Trinity, and the influx and coming of Your Holy and Life-giving Spirit in the form of fiery tongues poured out on Thy saints, the apostles poured out those evangelists of our pious faith, and showed confessors and preachers of true theology: even on this all-perfect and saving feast of purification, you are worthy to receive prayer for those held in hell, and give us great hopes of weakening the contents of the defilements that I contain, and Your consolation is sent down: hear us humble and Your servants praying to You, and rest the souls of Your servants, who have fallen before the dead, in a place of light, in a greener place, in a place of coolness, from where all sickness, sorrow and sighing have been cast away, and restore their spirits in the villages of the righteous, and grant them peace and weakness: for Not in the dead will they praise Thee, O Lord; those who exist in hell will dare to bring confession to Thee: but we bless Thee alive and pray, and offer purifying prayers and sacrifices to Thee for their souls.
This prayer is also added:
Great and eternal God, Holy, loving of mankind, who has made us worthy at this hour to stand before Your unapproachable glory to sing and praise Your wonders! Cleanse us, Thy unworthy servants, and grant us grace, so that with a contrite heart, we can proudly bring You the thrice-holy praise and thanksgiving of Your great gifts, which You have created for us and always create in us. Remember, Lord, our weakness, and do not destroy us with our iniquities: but do great mercy with our humility, so that having escaped the darkness of sin, we will walk in the days of righteousness, and, clothed in the weapons of everything, we will abide unscathed from all the wiles of the evil one, and with boldness we will glorify for all of You the only true and lover of mankind. God. Thine is truly a great and eternal sacrament, the Lord of all and the Creator, the temporary resolution of Thy creatures, and the hedgehog's union for now, and the rest of the hedgehog forever.
We confess grace to you for everyone, about our entrances into this world and our departures, whose hopes of resurrection and incorruptible life are promised to us by your false promise, which we will receive in your future second coming: for you are the ruler of our resurrection, and the unwashed and humane-loving judge of those who have lived, and the Lord and the Lord of rewards, and sharing with us sincerely flesh and blood, for the sake of extreme condescension: and our irresistible passions, sometimes willingly put us into temptation, we accept generosity as mercy, and in it you yourself suffered, having been tempted, your self-promised helper was tempted to us: in the same way you brought us into your dispassion.
Accept therefore, O Master, our prayers and supplications, and give rest to all fathers and mothers and children, and brothers and sisters, only-begotten and born-born, and all previously departed souls in the hope of the resurrection of eternal life: place their spirits and names in the book of living things, in the bosom of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the land of the living, in the Kingdom of Heaven, in heavens of sweetness, Thy bright angels leading all into Thy holy abodes, co-raising our bodies on the day that Thou hast determined according to Thy saints and false promises. For there is no death, Lord, for Thy servant, which comes to us from the body and comes to Thee our God, but repose from the saddest to the most useful and sweetest, and to peace and joy. Even if we have sinned against You, be merciful to us in this way: not a single one is pure before You from defilements, even if there is only one day of his life, unless You are the only one who appeared on earth, our sinless Lord Jesus Christ, in whom we all hope to receive mercy and remission of sins.
For this reason, for our sake, for God is good and a lover of mankind, weaken, forgive, forgive our sins, voluntary and involuntary, both in knowledge and in ignorance, presented and forgotten: even in action, even in thought, even in words, even in all our lives and movements. And grant to those who have departed freedom and weakness, but bless us who are here, granting us and all Your people a good and peaceful end, and opening the womb of mercy and love for mankind to us at Your terrible and terrible coming, and making Thy Kingdom worthy of us.
This prayer is also added:
The Great and Most High God, who alone has immortality, lives unapproachable in the light, who created all creation with wisdom, dividing in the midst of light and in the midst of darkness, and having placed the sun in the region of the day, and the moon and stars in the region of the night: having made us sinners worthy to precede Thine in confession and to offer the evening service to Thee! Yourself, O Lord of Mankind, correct our prayer as if it were incense before You, and accept it into the stench of fragrance: grant us the present evening and the peaceful night that comes: clothe us with the weapons of light, deliver us from the fear of the night and from every thing that passes in darkness: and grant us sleep, which you have granted for the repose of our weakness, from all the devil's dream has been changed. To her, Master, the giver of all good things, as though we are touched on our beds, let us remember Your holy name in the night, and with the teaching of Your commandments illuminated, in the joy of our souls we will rise to the praise of Your goodness, prayers and supplications to Your compassion, offering for our sins and for all Your people, theirs, through the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos, visit us in mercy.
At the end of the litany the exclamation:
For you are the rest of our souls and bodies, and we send glory to you, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
