exploitation or sweated labor.
Receive, O Lord, into the bridal halls of Paradise boys and
girls,
and grant them joy at the marriage supper of Thy Son.
Comfort and console the grief of parents over their dead
children.
Give rest, O Lord,
to all who have no one to offer prayer for them to Thee, their
Creator,
that their sins may vanish
in the dazzling light of Thy forgiveness.
O Lord of unutterable Love, remember Thy servants who
have fallen asleep.
Thou hast given us death as a last prodigy to bring us to our
senses and to repentance, O Lord. In its threatening light,
earthly vanity is exposed, carnal passions and sufferings
become subdued, in submissive reason is humbled. Eternal
justice and righteousness opens to our gaze, and then the
godless and those burdened with sins confess on their
deathbed Thy real and eternal existence and cry to Thy
mercy: ALLELUIA.
