Rest in peace, Lord, the souls of your departed servants: my parents (name), relatives (name), and all the neighbors of my family, and friends and all Orthodox Christians, and forgive them all sins, voluntary and involuntary, and grant them Kingdom of Heaven.

In Russian

Rest, Lord, the souls of Your departed servants: my parents, relatives, benefactors (their names), and all Orthodox Christians, and forgive them all their sins, done of their own free will and against their will, and give them the Kingdom of Heaven.

Rest - place in a quiet place, i.e. together with the saints in the eternal blissful home. Deceased - fallen asleep; This is what we call the dead whose souls, having separated from their bodies, moved from this life to another, heavenly, where they remain until the time of the general resurrection, which will occur at the second coming of the Son of God. Free sins – sins committed of one’s own free will; involuntary - against the will, under duress. Give it to them - give it to them. The Kingdom of Heaven is eternal, blissful life with God.

What are we asking God for in this prayer?

That He would place our deceased relatives, neighbors and all Orthodox Christians together with the saints in the Kingdom of Heaven, where there is no suffering, but only bliss, having forgiven them all their sins according to His unspeakable mercy.
