Lord, Jesus Christ, our God! You are a keeper of the orphans, a refuge for those who mourn, and a comforter for those who cry.

I come running to You, orphan, groaning and crying, and I pray to You: hear my prayer and do not turn Your face away from the sighs of my heart and from the tears of my eyes. I pray to You, merciful Lord, satisfy my grief over separation from my parent (name), who gave birth and raised me, and his soul, which has gone to You with true faith in You and with With firm hope in Your love for mankind and mercy, accept me into Your Kingdom of Heaven.

I bow before Your holy will, which has already been taken away from me, and I ask You not to take away Your mercy and kindness from him. We know, Lord, for You are the Judge of this world, You punish the sins and wickedness of the fathers in children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, even up to the third and fourth generation: but you also have mercy on the fathers for their prayers and the virtues of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With contrition and tenderness of heart, I pray to You, merciful Judge, do not punish with eternal punishment the deceased, unforgettable for me, Your servant my parent (name), but let him go all his sins, voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, knowledge and ignorance, committed by him in his life here on earth, and according to Your mercy and love for mankind, prayers for the sake of Most Pure Mother of God and all the saints, have mercy on him and deliver him from eternal torment.

You, merciful Father of fathers and children! Grant me, all the days of my life, until my last breath, not to cease to remember my deceased parent in my prayers, and to beg Thee, the righteous Judge, to bring justice to him in a place of light, in a cool place and in a place of peace, with all the saints, from there I will escape all illness, sorrow and sighing.

Merciful Lord! Accept this day for Your servant (name) my warm prayer and reward him with Your reward for the labors and care of my upbringing in faith and Christian piety, as I taught First of all, I lead You, my Lord, to pray to You in reverence, You are the only one I trust in troubles, sorrows and illnesses and keep Your commandments; for his concern for my spiritual success, for the warmth of the prayers he brought for me before You and for all the gifts he asked me from You, reward him with Your mercy, Your heavenly blessings and joys in Your eternal Kingdom.

For You are the God of mercies and generosity and love for mankind, You are the peace and joy of Your faithful servants, and we send glory to You with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and ever eyelids of centuries. Amen.
