Save, O Lord, and have mercy on the elders and the young, the poor and the orphans and the widows, and those who are in sickness and in sorrows, and in troubles and sorrows, in circumstances and captivities, in prisons and imprisonments, and even more in persecutions, for Thy sake and the Orthodox faith, from the tongues of the godless, from the apostates and from the heretics, Thy servants, and remember me, visit, strengthen, comfort, and soon by Thy power I will weaken, and grant them freedom and deliverance.

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on those who do good to us, who have mercy on us and nourish us, who have given us alms, and have commanded us to pray for them unworthy, and who give us rest, and do Thy mercy to them, granting them all that is a petition for salvation, and the reception of eternal blessings.

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on those who are sent to the service, those who travel, our fathers and brethren, and all Orthodox Christians (bow).

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on them who have offended them by my folly, and have turned away from the path of salvation, leading them to evil and unseemly deeds; By Thy Divine Providence, return to the path of salvation (bow).

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on those who hate and offend me, and do me misfortune, and do not leave them to perish for my sake, a sinner (bow).

Those who have departed from the Orthodox faith and have been blinded by pernicious heresies, enlighten with the light of Thy knowledge and venerate Thy Holy Apostles of the Catholic Church.

About the departed

Remember, O Lord, the orthodox kings and queens, the right-believing princes and princesses, the most holy patriarchs, the most reverend metropolitans, archbishops and bishops of the Orthodox, who have served Thee in the priesthood and in the clergy of the church, and in the monastic order, and in Thy eternal abodes with the saints, give rest (bow).

Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, my parents (their names), and all my kinsmen in the flesh; and forgive them all their sins, voluntary and involuntary, granting them the Kingdom and the communion of Thy eternal good and Thy endless and blessed life.

Remember, O Lord, and all in the hope of resurrection and eternal life the departed, our fathers and brethren, and sisters, and those who lie here and everywhere, Orthodox Christians, and with Thy saints, where the light of Thy countenance sits, dwell, and have mercy on us, for Thou art Good and Lover of mankind. Amen (bow).

Grant, O Lord, the forgiveness of sins to all those who have previously departed in the faith and hope of the resurrection, to our fathers, brothers and sisters, and make their memory eternal (three times).
