Prayers for the deceased

When the soul of a deceased person leaves the body, it is no longer able to pray for his afterlife. The Holy Church calls us to pray for the forgiveness of the sins of his soul in the abode of the heavenly Church. As St. John Chrysostom said: “We will try, as much as possible, to help the deceased instead of tears, instead of sobs, instead of magnificent tombs - ours with prayers, alms and offers of them, so that in this way they, and we get the promised goods.” The book proposed by the pious reader contains prayers for the repose of the souls of the deceased, which are committed by Orthodox Christians.
