Prayers for the Departed

[Orthodox Andrew]

This thread is to pray for the departed. You should list the names of whom you wish to pray for. There is absolutely no debates allowed in this thread. This is a place for prayer only.



Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend the souls of thy servants (Name(s), and beseech thee to grant them rest in the place of thy rest, where all thy blessed Saints repose, and where the light of thy countenance shineth forever. And I beseech thee also to grant that our present lives may be godly, sober, and blameless, that, we too may be made worthy to enter into thy heavenly Kingdom with those we love but see no longer: for thou art the Resurrection, and the Life, and the Repose of thy departed servants, O Christ our God, and unto thee we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Never so undeserved...
Never so hard to deal with
You are the closest to innocence that I ever met
The world was to hard for you and so it had to end


fly high protector of the birds
fly high falcon king
God has taken you in his arms for he loves you

Dear friends,

Today [April 30, 2004], Fr. Thomas Davis, assistant priest of St. Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church in Brier, Washington, and the priest spearheading our new Antiochian mission in Snohomish, reposed in the Lord today in his sleep. He had been in ill health for at least two years.

Please remember him in your prayers, as well as Khouriya Miriam, and children
Jenny, Eric and Jon.

I am mourning the loss of my father confessor and spiritual guide, as well as
the one who was in the process of making our dream for a new parish in
Snohomish become a reality. Please remember our mission in your prayers as well.

Dear Friends:

I just heard the sad news of the passing of Priest George Romley - former pastor of St. Mary's parish in Hunt Valley, MD (Antiochian diocese). He was a very kind man - and one of the two priests who led a trip to the Holy Land I took 10 years ago. May his memory be eternal!

Please pray also for his son Nicholas and his wife Theresa.

In case any of you knew Fr. George: The viewing will be held at Ruck funeral home on York Rd. in Towson MD this evening from 5 -7 p.m. The funeral will be Wednesday at St. Mary's at 10:30 am.

Blessings,
Irene

Here's a message I received from Panagiotis:

Dear all,
At the age of 100, Theodoylos Kallinikos, Arhon Protopsaltis of the
Most Holy Church of Cyprus, fell asleep in the Lord . Despite eyesight
problems he kept on chanting virtually until his death.
When I had been studying in London I met
several cantors that had studied byzantine chant under Kallinikos.
Memory eternal!

For Fr. Averky (of monachos.net)

Memory Eternal !

This is both sad and joyful news. He has been anticipating his death for some time now and finally he has finished the race. It has been a while since I have lurked on Monachos.net but I always appreciated his wisdom and steadfast faith. He will be greatly missed and I thank God for gracing us with his presence on the Internet where our passions so often seem to get the better of us.

Memory Eternal.

Subject:Newly-Departed Ralph Geeza

Please pray for the soul of the newly-departed Ralph Geeza. He recently
found out he had cancer throughout his body and, thank God, he was
spared the worst of the suffering.

Ralph was a prominent in the Orthodox Church and had been active in many
capacities, particularly in support of St. Vladimir's Seminary. He had a
beautiful tenor voice and an ardent love for Orthodox liturgical music.

Dear All,
