Divine Liturgy of St Basil- The Litany Before the Lord's Prayer - 77 -
of the servants of God
(names)
For the dead he saith:
Priest:
For the repose, and the remission of sins of
the souls of Thy servants
(names),
in a place of light,
whence all sorrow and sighing are fled away, give
them rest, O our God.
And he saith:
Priest:
Again we pray Thee; Remember, O Lord, all
the Orthodox episcopate that rightly divide the word
of Thy truth, all the priesthood, the diaconate in
Christ, and every sacred rank.
Remember, O Lord, Thy holy, catholic, and
apostolic Church, which is from end to end of the
universe; and give peace unto her whom Thou hast
purchased with the precious Blood of Thy Christ:
and preserve this holy temple, even unto the end of
the ages. Be mindful, O Lord, of those who hath set
these Gifts before Thee, and those for whom and
through whom and in behalf of whom they hath
offered them. ?
Have in remembrance O Lord, those who bear fruit
