Lord Jesus Christ our God, Protector of the orphans, Teacher of the strange, Helmsman of the floating, refuge of the stormy, with those traveling, consolation of the weeping, the poor to the feeder! We pray to You, O most merciful Lord, remember in Your Kingdom the souls of Your departed servants (names), who reposed in faith to You, but went to foreign lands, without swearing To Your Holy Church, parting words and blessings. Receive, Master, under Your benevolence the slaves who passed away there in grief and sorrow for their relatives and neighbors, for whom no one can console in the terrible hour of death, even No one else offers You a warm prayer for their gracious passage from the sowing life of this time into the heavenly world. Moreover, we pray to You, Most Gracious, we pray to You, O omnipresent and ever-present Lord, look upon these Thy servants with Thy mercy, forgive them every free sin and involuntary, done in word and deed and everything, even in knowledge and ignorance. We beg You with prayers and intercession to Your Mother, Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos, and all the saints, do not destroy those who have gone to You with their iniquity, but do great things for them Thy mercy, show them Thy love for mankind and Thy generosity, lead them to Thy quiet refuge and place them in Thy House.

We also pray for the repose of the souls of Your departed servants [the souls of Your departed servant (Your servant)] (names), who went to You without kin and no one from their relatives about themselves. those who have prayer books, except Thy Holy Church; For this reason, we pray to You, Lord, accept our prayer for these too: forgive them all their sins and have mercy on them according to your great mercy; place them in Your Holy Dwelling, that they may find peace in You, as in the Savior and Redeemer of the human race.

God! God! If Your servants who had fallen asleep, who were in poverty and misery, offered for a cup of cold water, for a loaf of bread, for one mite given to them in Your name Prayers for us, petitions and thanksgiving to you; Even if the orphans blessed the hand that did good to them, praying for the sending down of Your blessings to us, for this reason we pray to You today, Christ our God, and we for them: remember in Your Kingdom are these, as the least of Your brethren, according to what You have spoken; forgive them every sin, voluntary or involuntary, cover them with Your compassion and place them in Your Holy palace; and as those who here on earth received sustenance through the invocation of Your holy name, feed there in heaven from the fatness of Your house and may they be comforted and may all who truly mourned enjoy endless joy to you; place them with Your saints, so that all things may be purchased with You, Judge of the living and the dead, to form the hosts of Your chosen ones, and thus let them glorify, praise and extol the infinite Your mercy is forever. Amen.
