For the Departed

O God of spirits and of all flesh, who hast trampled down death, and overthrown the devil, and given life to Thy world: do Thou Thyself, O Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants in a place of brightness, a place of green pasture, a place of repose, whence all sickness, sorrow and sighing have fled away. Pardon every transgression which they have committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who liveth and sinneth not, for Thou alone art without sin, and Thy righteousness is to ages of ages, and Thy word is truth. Memory eternal!
