Prayer For My Son’s Personal Holiness

Canon for preparation for Holy Communion (pdf) To be said the evening before you plan to partake of Holy Communion.

Prayers to be said on the morning you plan to partake of Holy Communion (pdf)

Prayer of St.

John Chrysostom
Lord, Jesus Christ my God, forgive the faults and sins which I, Your unworthy servant have committed from my youth to this day and hour, whether knowingly or in ignorance, whether by words, deeds, intentions or thoughts and whether by habit or through any of my senses. By the prayers of Your pure and Virgin Mother, make me worthy without condemnation to receive Your precious, immortal and life-giving Mysteries for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. May the Eucharist sanctify, enlighten, strengthen and heal my soul and body and thus destroy my evil thoughts, intentions and prejudices. For Yours, Christ our God, is the Kingdom, the power, the glory, the honor and worship with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of St.

John of Damascus
Master and Lord, Jesus Christ our God, You alone have authority to forgive my sins, whether committed knowingly or in ignorance, and make me worthy to receive without condemnation Your divine, glorious, pure and life-giving Mysteries, not for my punishment, but for my purification and sanctification, now and in Your future Kingdom. For You, Christ our God are compassionate and love mankind and to You we give glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayers Right Before Communion

I believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. I also believe that this is truly Your pure Body and that this is truly Your precious Blood.

Therefore, I pray to You, have mercy upon me, and forgive my transgressions, voluntary and involuntary, in word and deed, known and unknown.

And make me worthy without condemnation to partake of Your pure Mysteries for the forgiveness of sins and for eternal life. Amen

How shall I, who am unworthy, enter into the splendor of Your saints? If I dare to enter into the bridal chamber, my clothing will accuse me, since it is not a wedding garment; and being bound up, I shall be cast out by the angels. In Your love, Lord, cleanse my soul and save me.

Loving Master, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, let not these holy Gifts be to my condemnation because of my unworthiness, but for the cleansing and sanctification of soul and body and the pledge of the future life and kingdom.

It is good for me to cling to God and to place in Him the hope of my salvation.
Receive me today, Son of God, as a partaker of Your mystical Supper. I will not reveal Your mystery to Your adversaries. Nor will I give You a kiss as did Judas.

But as the thief I confess to You: Lord, remember me in Your Kingdom.

Prayers After Receiving Communion

Anonymous
I thank Thee, O Lord my God, that Thou hast not rejected me, a sinner, but hast granted me to be a communicant of Thy holy Things. I thank Thee that Thou hast granted me, unworthy as I am, to partake of Thy pure and heavenly Gifts.

But, O Lord, Lover of men, Who didst die for us and rise again and bestow upon us these Thy dread and life-giving Mysteries for the well being and sanctification of our souls and bodies, grant that these may be even to me for the healing of my soul and body, for the averting of everything hostile, for the enlightenment of the eyes of my heart, for the peace of the powers of my soul, for unashamed faith, for sincere love, for the fullness of wisdom, for the keeping of Thy commandments, for an increase of Thy divine grace, and for familiarity with Thy Kingdom; that being kept by Them in Thy holiness I may ever remember Thy grace, and never live for myself but for Thee our Lord and Benefactor. And so when I have passed from existence here in the hope of eternal life, may I attain to everlasting rest, where the song is unceasing of those who keep festival and the joy is boundless of those who behold the ineffable beauty of Thy face. For Thou art the true desire and the unutterable gladness of those who love Thee, O Christ our God, and all creation sings of Thee throughout the ages.

Prayer of St.

Basil the Great
Lord Christ our God, King of the ages and Creator of all, I thank Thee for all the blessings Thou hast granted me and for the communion of Thy pure and life-giving Mysteries. I pray Thee, therefore, good Lord and Lover of men, guard me under Thy protection and within the shadow of Thy wings; and grant me with a clear conscience till my last breath worthily to partake of Thy holy Things for forgiveness of sins and for life eternal.

For Thou art the Bread of Life, the Source of Holiness, the Giver of all that is good, and to Thee we send up the glory, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer of St.

Symeon the Translator O Thou Who givest me willingly Thy Flesh for food, Thou Who art fire, and burnest the unworthy, Scorch me not, O my Maker, But rather pass through me for the integration of my members, Into all my joints, my affections, and my heart. Burn up the thorns of all my sins. Purify my soul, sanctify my mind; Strengthen my knees and bones; Enlighten the simplicity of my five senses. Nail down the whole of me with Thy fear. Ever protect, guard, and keep me From every soul-destroying word and act. Sanctify, purify, attune, and rule me.

Adorn me, give me understanding, and enlighten me. Make me the habitation of Thy Spirit alone, And no longer a habitation of sin, That as Thy house from the entry of communion Every evil spirit and passion may flee from me fire.

I offer Thee as intercessors all the sanctified, The Commanders of the Bodiless Hosts, Thy Forerunner, the wise Apostles, And Thy pure and immaculate Mother. Receive their prayers, my compassionate Christ. And make Thy slave a child of light.

For Thou alone art our sanctification, O Good One, And the radiance of our souls, And to Thee as our Lord and God as is right

We all give glory day and night.

Anonymous
May Thy Holy Body, O Lord Jesus Christ our God, be to me for eternal life, and Thy Precious Blood for forgiveness of sins.

And may this Eucharist be to me for joy, health, and gladness.

And in Thy awful second coming, make me, a sinner, worthy to stand on the right hand of Thy glory, through the intercessions of Thy holy and most pure Mother and of all Thy Saints. Amen.

To the Most Holy Mother of God
All-holy Lady, Mother of God, the light of my darkened soul, my hope and protection, my refuge and consolation, and my joy, I thank thee that thou hast made me, who am unworthy, worthy to be a communicant of the immaculate Body and precious Blood of thy Son.

But do thou who didst bear the true Light enlighten the spiritual eyes of my heart. O thou who didst conceive the Source of Immortality, give life to me who am dead in sin.

O thou who art the compassionately loving Mother of the merciful God, have mercy on me and give me compunction and contrition of heart, humility in my thoughts, and the recall of my reasoning powers from their captivity.

And grant me till my last breath to receive without condemnation the sanctification of the Holy Mysteries for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and confession, and of thanksgiving, that I may praise and glorify thee all the days of my life. For thou art blessed and glorified for ever. Amen.

Then the Song of Symeon is said:
Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, O Lord, according to Thy word. For my eyes have seen Thy salvation which Thou hast prepared in the sight of all peoples, the light of revelation for the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.

Prayer for every departed person and short primer on prayer for the dead

Prayer For My Son’s Personal Holiness

Note: This document is alsoavailable as a “card”. Download the Word or PDF Document, and print on bothsides, and section into quarters. This information will be useful to you onlyif you USE it. It is good to pray for the reposed every day. See the end ofthis document for links.

Of your charity, please add to your commemoration listfor the Divine Liturgy and pray the prayer (below) daily, for my son +Daniel,who, at the age of 20, drowned in a river, the Sunday of All Saints, May29/June 11, 2017.

Praying for the Dead. – A Short Primer.

Why pray for the dead?

Because: we love them, and do not stop loving them afterthey die. Because: to God, all live, and life after death is a mystery, ofwhich many things have not been revealed to us. Because: we will not forgetthose we love, whether living or dead. Because: From Apostolic times,Christians have prayed for their reposed loved ones.

When should we pray for the dead? If we love someone wethink of them often. We pray every day for our loved ones, dead in the flesh,or alive in the flesh, and the church has many appointed days when we serveservices for our reposed loved ones.

How can we pray for the dead? With love, and hope in theresurrection. We may pray the “Prayer for every departed person”, which is inany Orthodox Psalter (book of Psalms), or pray more simply, simply saying:

“Lord Jesus Christ,have mercy on thy servant N.”

It is common, and very helpful to pray this prayer withprostrations. I do this for a certain number of repetitions every day, and ifyou do it to, you will understand what I mean.  There are many beautifulprayers for the dead which we may sing in our homes.

See also, remarks at the funeral of Daniel Holland (+Sundayof All Saints, 2017), from his father. His deep heart, and how and why we prayfor the dead, and how we should remember him. It is with actions, not words.

Prayer for every departed person

Remember, OLord our God, Thy servant, our brother/sister, N., who has reposed in the Faith and hope of lifeeternal, and in that Thou art good and the Lover of mankind, Who remittest sinsand blottest out iniquities, do Thou loose, remit and pardon all his/hersins, voluntary and involuntary.

Deliver him/herfrom eternal torment and the fire of Gehenna, and grant unto him/her thecommunion and delight of Thine eternal good things prepared for them that loveThee.

For though he/shehath sinned, yet hath he/she not forsaken Thee, and he/sheundoubtedly believed in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit; and evenuntil his/her last breath did he/she confess Thee in Orthodoxfashion: God glorified in Trinity, Unity in Trinity and Trinity in Unity.

Wherefore, beThou merciful unto him/her and reckon his/her faith in Thee,rather than his/her deeds, and in that Thou art compassionate, granthim/her rest with Thy saints; for there is no man that liveth and doth not sin.

But Thou aloneart wholly without sin, and Thy truth is forever; and Thou alone art the God ofmercies, and compassion, and love for mankind, and unto Thee do we ascribeglory, to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, andunto ages of ages. Amen.
