Psalter commemoration of the dead. How to Read Prayers for a Newly Reposed Home and Temple

On the commemoration of the dead according to the charter of the Orthodox Church Bishop Afanasy (Sakharov)

READING PSALTERS FOR THE DEAD

The custom of reading the Psalter for the Dead dates back to ancient times. Our psalter is read at the grave of the departed laity. In some places there are specially reciters who are either invited to the house of the deceased to read the Psalter continuously, for example, for 40 days, or even a whole year, or read the Psalter in their home at the request of the relatives of the deceased. In many Orthodox monasteries, the so-called "vigilant" daytime reading about the living and the dead takes place. With this reading of the psalter, in addition to the usual troparia and prayers for each kathisma, a special prayer is added at each glory, after which the names of the deceased are remembered.

Reading the divinely inspired psalms of David in general should be a private occupation of Orthodox Christians. No other books glorify God like this, like a psalter ... she ... and prays to God for the whole world... In addition to the numerous psalms that are part of the main parts of the divine service, the Church's Rite assigns the reading of the entire psalter in a row in one week, and in Great Lent even twice in a week. Reading the Psalter in memory of the departed undoubtedly brings them great consolation in and of itself, as the reading of the word of God and as testifying to the love for them and the memory of their living brothers. It also brings them great benefit, for it is accepted by the Lord as a pleasant propitious sacrifice for the cleansing of the sins of those remembered: just as He generally accepts every prayer, every good deed. Therefore, the custom, existing in many places, of asking clergymen, in a monastery, or persons specially engaged in this, deserves any encouragement - to read a psalter in memory of the dead, and this request is combined with the giving of alms for those who are remembered. But much more excellent is the reading of the Psalter by those who remember it. Then the benefits are multiplying. For those who are remembered, this will be even more comforting, for it testifies to a greater degree of love and zeal for them by their living brothers, who themselves PERSONALLY want work hard in memory of them, and not replace themselves in work with others. The Lord's podvig of reading will be not only as a sacrifice for those who are remembered, but also as a sacrifice for those who bring it, toiling in reading. And, finally, those who read the Psalter themselves will receive from the word of God both great consolation and great edification, which they are deprived of, entrusting this good deed to others and themselves most often not even being present at it. And alms can and should be given independently, regardless of the reading of the psalter, and its value in this latter case will, of course, be higher, for it will not be combined with the imposition of obligatory labor on the recipient, but will be given according to the commandment of the Savior. tune and therefore it will be received by the Lord as compounded charity. In our liturgical books there are no specific instructions on the order of reading the Psalter for the departed. In the follow-up psalter, psalms are printed all in a row with subdivision into kathismas and glories without any additions. This is for their liturgical use. After all the psalms, there are special troparia and prayers for each kathisma. This is for private reading. In specially published psalteries, these troparia and prayers are placed side by side after each kathisma. If the reading of the Psalter about the living and the dead, or about both, is combined with the usual daily private reading of the Psalter, then according to the first and second glories, prayers for the living and the dead or for the last ones can be added to each kathisma, and for each kathisma the usual troparia and prayers. If the reading of the Psalter is performed only for the sake of commemoration, especially at the tomb of the deceased, then there is no need to read the troparia and prayers assigned for the usual cell rule by kathisma. It will be more appropriate in all cases and after each glory and after the kathisma to read a special memorial prayer. There is no uniformity regarding the formula of remembrance when reading the psalter. Different prayers are used in different places, sometimes randomly composed. The practice of ancient Russia consecrated the use in this case of that funeral troparion, with which the cell reading of the funeral canons should end: Remember, O Lord, the soul of your deceased servant, moreover, during the reading, five bows are required, and the troparion itself is read three times. According to the same ancient practice, the reading of the psalter is preceded by the reading of the canon for the dead or for the one who has died, after which the reading of the psalter begins. After reading all the psalms, the memorial canon is again read, after which the reading of the first kathisma begins again. This order continues throughout the reading of the Psalter for the repose.

This text is an introductory fragment.

Prayers before reading the Psalms So often our soul is not peaceful, and simply cannot perceive the Word that God offers us for edification. Therefore, we always advise reading the opening prayers in order to come to a state in which we can hear Him.

The custom of reading the Psalter for the departed goes back to ancient times; this reading undoubtedly brings them great consolation in itself, as reading the word of God, and as testifying to the love for them and the memory of their living fellows. It also brings them great benefit, for it is accepted by the Lord as a pleasant propitious sacrifice for the cleansing of the sins of those who are remembered - just as He generally accepts every prayer, every good deed.

Psalms should be read with affection and contrition of the heart, without haste, with attention delving into what is being read. The reading of the Psalter is most beneficial for those who remember them: it testifies to a great degree of love and zeal for those who are remembered by their living brothers, who themselves personally want to work in their memory, and not replace themselves in work with others.

The Lord will accept the feat of reading not only as a sacrifice for those who are remembered, but also as a sacrifice for those who bring it, toilers of reading.

Of course, the one who is capable of this and has certain knowledge appropriate for serving a sacred cause can take upon himself the reading of the Psalter at the grave of the deceased. The sacrificial impulse of commemorating relatives or friends of the deceased can in many ways, but not in everything, make up for their poor preparedness. In addition, the reading of the Psalter at the tomb should be as continuous as possible, and this requires several successive readers. Therefore, there is a custom to invite for sacred reading people capable of it, adding to this invitation the giving of alms for those who are remembered. However, in any case, the duty of attention to the word of God and prayer for the soul of the deceased lies not with the reader of the Psalter alone, but also with the relatives of the deceased.

The very reading of the Psalter for the dead is of two kinds. The first is a strict reading of the Psalter over the grave of the deceased in the coming days and weeks after his death - for example, until the 40th day. The reading of the divinely inspired psalms of David, ideally, should be a daily private occupation of Orthodox Christians, therefore, the custom is widespread to combine private (home) reading of the Psalter with the remembrance of the living and the dead - this is another kind of reading the Psalter with commemoration.

If the Psalter is read only for the deceased, before the first kathisma, the Canon is necessarily read for the one who has died. After the canon - "It is worthy to eat .." and further to the end, as indicated in the rank of the private reading of the Canon for the one who died.

When the Psalter is read at the tomb of the deceased, then first, the present priest performs the Follow-up according to the exodus of the soul and body. Then the reader begins to read the Psalter.

At the end of the entire Psalter, the reader reads the Canon again for the one who has died, and after him the reading of the Psalter begins again, and this is repeated throughout the entire reading of the Psalter for the deceased.

"When reading the Psalter at the grave of the deceased," Vladyka Afanasy (Sakhorov) writes in his exhaustive study "On the Commemoration of the Dead According to the Rule of the Orthodox Church" , and after each "Glory:", and after the kathisma, read a special memorial prayer. The practice of Ancient Rus sanctified the use in this case of that funeral troparion, which should end the cell reading of the funeral canons: "Remember, Lord, the soul of Your deceased servant", and during the reading, five bows are supposed, in the troparion itself it is read three times.According to the same ancient practice, the reading of the Psalter after the repose is preceded by the reading of the Canon for the deceased, after which the reading of the Psalter begins. kathisma. This order continues throughout the reading of the Psalter for the repose. "

Now a somewhat different tradition of reading the Psalter at the tomb has become widespread: according to the first and second "Glory:" kathisma, the prayer "Remember, our Lord our God ..." is read, and at the end of the kathisma, the troparia are read. kathisma) and the prayer placed after the kathisma. This reading order is recommended in the Psalter of the publication of the Moscow Patriarchate (1973) and some other editions.

When reading the Psalter at the grave of the deceased, one should take into account the tradition and each time precede the reading of the 1st kathisma with the reading of the funeral canon.

In conclusion, it remains only to add that it is more appropriate for any reader of the Psalter (experienced or inexperienced) to stand like a praying person (at the feet of the deceased), if a particular extreme does not force him to sit down. Negligence in this matter, as in the observance of other pious customs, is offensive both for the sacred rite blessed by the Holy Church, and for the word of God, which, with negligence, is read as if in disagreement with the intention and feeling of the praying Christian.

Follow when reading the Psalter for the departed

The reading of each kathisma begins with a prayer:

Come, let us worship our Tsar God.

Come, let us worship and fall down on Christ, our King God.

Come, let us worship and fall down on Christ Himself, the Tsar and our God.

(When reading the kathisma for each "Glory" (which reads as "Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, And now and forever and forever and ever, Amen") is pronounced:

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, God! (thrice.),

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

(Then a prayer petition for the deceased is read, "Remember, our Lord our God ...", which is at the end of the "Pursuit of the departure of the soul," and the name of the deceased is remembered on it with the addition (until the fortieth day from the day of death) the word "newly departed"):

Remember, O Lord our God, in the faith and hope of the belly of your eternal reposed servant, our brother [name] and like Good and Humanitarian, forgive sins, and consume unrighteousness, weaken, forgive and forgive all his free and involuntary sins, relieve him of eternal torment and the fire of hell, and grant him the sacrament and enjoyment of Thy eternal good, prepared for those who love Thee: if you sin, but do not depart from You, and it is unquestionable in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, God in the Trinity is glorified, faith, and the One in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, Orthodox even to the last gasp of confession. Even so, be merciful to that, and faith, even in Thee instead of deeds of imputation, and with Thy saints, as Abundant, rest: there is no man, who will live and not sin. But Thou art One besides all sin, and Thy righteousness, the truth forever, and Thou art the One God of mercies and generosity, and love for mankind, and we give You glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Then the reading of the psalms of kathisma continues). At the end of the kathisma it reads:

Trisagion
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (It is read three times, with the sign of the cross and a bow in the waist.)

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquity; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for your name's sake.

Lord have mercy. (three times);

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit both now and forever and forever and ever. Amen

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, Who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we also leave our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one

Tropari

From the spirits of the righteous who have passed away, the soul of Thy servant, Savior, rest, preserving it in a blissful life, even with You, Human-loving

In Thy rest, O Lord: where all Thy sanctuaries rest, rest the soul of Thy servant, for you alone are the Humanitarian

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit:

Thou art God, descended into hell and letting the chains of the fettered, rest Himself and the soul of Thy servant

And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

One Pure and Immaculate Virgin, who gave birth to God without a seed, pray that his souls be saved.

Lord have mercy (40 times)
(Then a prayer is recited at the end of the kathisma.)

Why read the Psalter for the Dead? Where did this tradition come from? What are the stories of writing Psalms 50 and 90? Is it true that earlier in Russia they learned to read not from the ABC book, but from the Psalter? You will find answers to these questions in this article. You will also learn how to write the Psalms of Repose and understand what you read.

What is the Psalter and what is the secret of its popularity?

One of the most beloved and popular books of all Christians is the Psalter - a book of psalms. The Jews called psalms prayer hymns dedicated to the Lord and sung to the accompaniment.

The ability to compose psalms was considered a great gift, and King David, who is credited with the authorship of the Psalms - 151 psalms (in some translations 150). Most of these hymns were actually written by David. The king put all shades of emotion into them: he thanked the Lord, tearfully prayed for help, repented of his sins, prophesied about the fate of the Israeli people.

How was Psalm 50 written?

This psalm is a song of repentance. What did the king regret? Once he was seduced by the beauty of Bathsheba, the wife of his warrior Uriah. In order to "remove" his legitimate husband, he gave the order to put a warrior in the battle with the Ammonites in the place where he would definitely be killed. When Bathsheba became a widow, David took her to his palace and married her. But the king sincerely repented of his wicked deed, and the prophet Nathan accused him of sin. The Lord also punished David: the first son of Bathsheba was born dead. After the endowment, the king prayed and fasted for a long time. The result of this secret prayer was Psalm 50.

What psalm protects against unclean spirits?

No less famous is Psalm 90, which the holy fathers advise to protect oneself from unclean spirits. The main meaning of the hymn is that the Lord will surely protect the one who trusts in God. So it was in the history of King David. Through prayers, the Lord delivered from a three-day pestilence plague, from an epidemic of which tens of thousands of people died.

These are just two examples of famous hymns. In fact, there are many more of them. Believers use them in church prayer and personal, read the Psalter on the dead and on the living. How did this tradition come about?

Instead of the first prayer book and ... a primer

We often hear hymns during the Liturgy, at the evening service, memorial service, and we do not even know that they are actually taken from the Psalter.

In both the Jewish and Christian traditions, love for the psalms was passed down from generation to generation.

According to legend, over the tomb of the Virgin, the apostles sang the hymns of King David. Children and adults in Russia learned to read not from the ABC book, but from the Psalter. The famous saint, Sergius of Radonezh, in his childhood was very worried that he could not read the psalms smoothly, clearly, without mistakes and hiccups.

Today, children no longer learn to read and write from the Book of the Psalmist David. But over time, as adults, they often come to faith and realize the importance of hymns of praise. Reading and deeply delving into the texts of King David, we accumulate the prayer experience of many generations of Christians.

Such a prayer, if it is done with faith, sincerely, with a desire to penetrate and understand, is pleasing to God. That is why it is customary to pray according to the Psalter both for the dead and for the living.

Why read the Psalter for the Dead?

Such a prayer is useful not only for the deceased, but also for those who turn to hymns. If this is a relative grieving from the loss, then during the reading he calms down, distracts from the hustle and bustle of life and thinks about salvation.

In the days of the first Christians, there were no such solemn services as ours, there were no many prayers, canons, akathists. There were no prayer books. The only thing they had was the Psalter and fervent prayer from the bottom of their hearts.

Over time, various prayer orders appeared, but the hymns of King David did not lose their importance. In private (home) prayer, Orthodox Christians usually read the Psalter, pray for the living and the dead, and add various petitions (what they ask God for).

How to read the Psalter for the departed?

For ease of reading, the Psalter is divided into 20 parts - kathisma. In each kathisma, besides the psalms, there are also three "Glories". At the glories, it is customary to remember the names of the living and the dead. You will learn more about why and how to pray for the dead with the words of the Psalms of David in the article "Psalter for the Departed - We Read It Correctly."

When to start and for how long to read the kathisma for the deceased? There is no definite answer here, but a general recommendation can be made: start praying hard for the first 40 days as early as possible (in Orthodoxy it is believed that during this time it will be determined whether the soul will stay in heaven or hell until the Second Coming, so the prayer of relatives can help the deceased) ...

How many psalms or kathisma to read? Usually believers read one kathisma a day. It is customary to read the 17th kathisma about the repose. It is she who is used in funeral services. But if there are a lot of people who want to pray for the deceased, then the kathisma can be divided so that the Psalter can be read in full for the deceased one day. Whether this will succeed depends on the wishes of the believers.

After 40 days, do not interrupt the prayer. The dead need our spiritual support, of which the psalms are part. If you continue to read Kathisma every day, then remember on the first two "Glories" the names about health, and on the third - about repose.

How do you learn to understand the psalms?

A popular question that worries many believers: how to understand the Psalter, especially if you read it in Church Slavonic?
Usually the answers of priests and theologians are somewhat different.

Someone advises you to read the Psalter on the Dead and on Health anyway, even if you don't understand. The main argument: you don't understand, but the evil spirits understand everything and run away. Over time, the earnest prayer will also begin to understand. God reveals.
Others recommend using translations into Russian, writing out individual words, and using a dictionary from Church Slavonic to translate them into Russian. It is best to read the historical information about the writing of each hymn and use the interpretations of the holy fathers and theologians.

You can find such explanations both in the church shop and on useful Christian sites. Also, to understand the meaning of the hymns, one must study the Holy Scriptures. What David experienced before writing Psalm 50 is described in 2 Kings.

Take it for yourself, tell your friends!

The meaning of the 17th kathisma

During all forty days after the death of a person, his family and friends should read the Psalter. How many kathisma a day depends on the time and effort of the readers, but by all means reading should be daily. When the entire Psalter has been read, it is read from the beginning. Just do not forget that after each "Glory." One should read a prayer petition for the commemoration of the deceased (from "Following on the departure of the soul from the body"). Many relatives and friends of the deceased, referring to the fact that they do not have time or do not have the Psalter, or do not know how to read in Church Slavonic, entrust this reading to others (readers) for a fee or other remuneration. But prayer will be stronger, sincere, purer if a loved one or a loved one to the deceased person himself asks God for mercy on the deceased.

On the third, ninth, fortieth days, one should read the deceased 17th kathisma.

This kathisma depicts the bliss of those who walked in the law of the Lord, i.e. the bliss of righteous people who tried to live according to the commandments of God.

The meaning and meaning of Psalm 118 are revealed in the 19th verse: "I am a stranger (wanderer) on earth: do not hide your commandments from me." Explanatory Bible, ed. A.P. Lopukhina gives this verse the following explanation: "Life on earth is a wandering, a journey made by man to reach his fatherland and permanent, eternal dwelling. Obviously, the latter is not on earth, but behind the grave. If so, then earthly life must be prepared only an unmistakably chosen path on earth can lead to the afterlife and to it. the labors incurred to achieve it. Here is a fairly clear teaching about the purpose of earthly existence, the immortality of the human soul and the afterlife reward. "

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Thy hand create me and create me, give me reason, and I will learn Thy commandment. Those who fear You will see me and rejoice, as if in Your words, hopes. Reason, Lord, as the truth of Thy fate, and Thou hast humbled me. Be Thy mercy, let Thy servant comfort me according to Thy word. May Your bounties come to me, and I will live, as Your law is My teaching. Let the proud men be ashamed, for you have unrighteously wicked against me, but I will scoff at Your commandments.

Let those who fear You and those who lead Your testimonies convert me. Let my heart be blameless in Thy justification, for I will not be ashamed. My soul disappears into Thy salvation, on Thy words, hopes. My eyes disappeared into Thy word, saying: When will you comfort me? There was nothing like a fur on a slate, I have not forgotten Your excuses. Is Koliko the day of Thy servant? When will you create judgment from those who persecute me? Thou hast told me the transgressors of mockery, but not like Thy law, O Lord. All your commandments are true; unrighteously chasing me, help me. In male I have not died on earth, but I have not forsaken Thy commandments. Live me according to Thy mercy, and I will keep the information of Thy mouth. For ever, Lord, Thy word is in Heaven. Thy truth to generation and generation. Thou hast founded the earth, and abides. The day abides by Thy discipline: as all work is done for Thee. As if it were not for your law, my teaching was, then you would have perished in my humility. I will never forget Thy justifications, for in them Thou didst revive me.

Thine am I, save me: as for Thy justifications for seeking. If you are waiting for a sinner, destroy me, your witnesses are minds. Every end has seen the end, Thy commandment is broad. If we love Thy law, O Lord, my teaching is all day long. Much more my enemy has made me wise, Thy commandment, as in my age is. More than all those who teach me, minds, as if your dates are my teaching. Even the elder understands, like Thy commandments are exacting. From every way of deceit, restrain my feet, for I will keep Thy words. You have not deviated from your destinies, as you have ordained me. How sweet is thy word to my throat: more than honey with my mouth. From Thy commandments of mind: for this sake have we hated every path of unrighteousness. The lamp of my feet is Thy law, I am the light of my paths. Swear, and set them up to preserve the fate of Thy righteousness. Humble yourself to the brink, Lord, live me according to your word. The free lips of my lips, O Lord, and teach me your destinies. I will take out my soul into Thy hand, and I have not forgotten Thy law. I have laid the sinner's net for me, and have not gone astray from Thy commandments. The inheritance of Thy dates for ever, as the joy of my heart is the essence. Incline my heart, create Thy justifications in the age of retribution. Hate of the law, but your law is your beloved. Thou art my helper and my intercessor, in thy words of hope. Depart from me who are evil, and I will try the commandments of my God. Step on me according to Thy word, and I will live, and do not put me to shame because of my expectation. Help me, and I will be saved, and I will learn in Thy justification I will take out. Thou hast despised all that depart from Thy justifications, for their thinking is unrighteous. All sinful earth is transgressing without food, for this, for the sake of the beloved, Thy testimonies. Nail Thy fear into my flesh: for Thy fate we have feared. Having done judgment and righteousness, do not betray me to those who offend me. Receive Thy servant for good, lest pride be slandered against me. My eyes disappear into Thy salvation and into the word of Thy righteousness: do with Thy servant according to Thy mercy, and teach me about Thy justification. Thy servant I am: give me understanding, and we will see Thy testimonies. Time to make the Lord: destroy Your law. For this, for the sake of the beloved, Thy commandments are greater than gold and topazium. For this reason, for the sake of all Thy commandments, direct them, every path of unrighteousness they hate. Wonderful are Thy dates: for this reason I am tested my soul. The manifestation of Thy words enlightens and admonishes infants. My mouth was opened, and my spirit was attracted, as if commanding Thy desires.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Alleluia, halleluia, halleluia, glory to You God. (Three times)

Lord have mercy ( Three times).

Prayer petition for the deceased

But Thou art One besides all sin, and Thy righteousness is the truth forever, and Thou art the One God of mercies and generosity, and love for mankind, and we glorify Thee, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever.

How to Read Prayers for a Newly Reposed Home and Temple

“That did not come into the heart of man that God had prepared for those who loved Him,” the Apostle Paul writes to the Christians of the city of Corinth. This means that a person does not have enough imagination to imagine what another world looks like, where he will appear before God face to face. But when a relative or friend dies, one wants to know what happens to him beyond the realm of being. When and how to pray to God in order to ease your grief about the past and the path of his soul to eternity? Church and home prayers for the newly departed, with careful reading, give the Christian consolation and instruction.

The newly departed (i.e., who have just appeared before God) is called deceased from the time of death to a year... Over the centuries, several customs have been established in the Orthodox Church to commemorate the newly departed:

daily reading of the Psalter with a special prayer;
magpie, performed in the temple;
memorial services on the 3rd, 9th and 40th day;
litia at the grave on days of general commemoration of the dead;
donations, memorial meals.

Godly Christians try to do the above and after a year. Thus, the fate of the deceased is facilitated and the Lord's commandment about love for neighbors is fulfilled.

Reading the Psalter for the newly reposed

When the body of the deceased is still in the house and the arrival of the priest for the funeral is expected, the relatives take turns, including at night, read the Psalter over the deceased... In the absence of the proper skill, a church reader or a pious layman who has experience in this is invited.

For reading, they set up a lectern (stand for a book) or a small table, placing it in the heads of the deceased, light a candle. It is not forbidden to use a table lamp along with a candle. With prolonged reading and extreme fatigue, the reader can continue to pray while sitting, getting up only to bow to the words "Glory: and now: Hallelujah" and prayers performed after each kathisma.

Friends and relatives can quietly enter and leave during the performance of the Psalter, praying for a deceased relative within their powers. The guest reader may, if possible, read all night, or limit yourself to reading the Book of Psalms once... For the work he has suffered, he is offered a monetary donation, a part of the memorial meal and asked for prayers for the deceased.

The sounding of the psalms at the tomb of the newly departed calms the grief of those close to him and gives hope for the mercy of God, with whom the soul of the deceased will very soon meet.

On the day of the burial, believing relatives and friends of the deceased agree among themselves to continue reading the Psalter until the fortieth day. Everyone undertakes to read one kathisma every day.

Prayer for the newly reposed

The Psalter consists of 20 Kathismas, each of them is divided into three parts. After each part, three bows are made and a short prayer is read:

"Rest, O Lord, the soul of Thy servant (name), forgive him his voluntary and involuntary sins, and grant him the Kingdom of Heaven".

At the end of the kathisma, a prayer is read for the deceased for up to 40 days, located at the end of the Psalter, in the chapter "On reading the Psalter about the deceased." If there is no such chapter in the book, use a separately printed text.

To read deliberately, you need to understand the meaning of some words and expressions composing the text.

"In the hope of an eternal belly"- hoping for eternal life;
"Forgive sins and consume unrighteousness"- these words refer to the Lord, Who forgives sins and destroys unrighteous deeds created by man;
"Voluntary and involuntary sins"- sins committed intentionally and unintentionally;
"The sacrament of the eternal good"- to receive a part of eternal blessings;
"Amen"- everything said is true.

Order of the magpie in the temple

Prayer for the 3rd, 9th and 40th day

Commemoration on special days after death existed in paganism. Wishing to sanctify folk customs, the Church decreed to pray for the soul of the deceased within the time frame established by antiquity. It is impossible for the human mind to know what is happening in a world where there is no time. To make it easier to imagine the afterlife of the deceased, The Church divides it into periods:

3rd day, burial

On the third day after death, the Burial (funeral service) is performed- an Orthodox ceremony with the participation of a priest and the obligatory prayer of loved ones. The burial is performed over the coffin of the deceased. In the event of a tragic death, when the body cannot be found, an absentee funeral service is performed in the temple.

The burial rite is very long and in ancient times it lasted about two hours. Today it is performed in abbreviated form, up to 20 minutes. This will not affect the fate of the deceased if relatives pray fervently for his soul.

After the ceremony, a memorial meal is arranged, to which in the old days the poor and the poor were invited, asking their prayers for the deceased.

9th day, the beginning of the ordeal or "twenty courts"

On this important day, loved ones gather in the temple, to serve the requiem... The soul of the deceased, having enjoyed the contemplation of the heavenly abodes, prepares to give an answer for all the wrongs he has done. Demons approach her, recalling even the smallest offenses related to twenty types of sins. Angels answer them, pointing out the good deeds of the deceased or the church repentance brought to them. It is hard for the soul, for which the Angels cannot give an answer. Then the prayers of loved ones are put on the scales, performed on the 9th day and all subsequent times, until the 40th day.

40th day, determining the location of the soul

On the 40th day, a memorial meal is gathered again, a memorial service is ordered in the temple. You can prolong the ended magpie or order the reading of the "Unsleeping Psalter" in the monastery. The loved ones of the deceased pray that God would have mercy on the soul and determine it to await the Last Judgment in heavenly bliss.

It is better to call as many people as possible to prayer, giving alms on behalf of the deceased. Usually they distribute food, money or clothing to the poor, saying: "Remember the repose of the servant of God (name)." The one who takes alms is baptized and answers with the prayer: "Remember, Lord, Thy servant in Thy kingdom."

After 40 days, the reading of the Psalter on the deceased stops., but his name is constantly mentioned when reading kathismas at home or listening to them in the temple. It is enough to mentally say on "Glory" "Remember, Lord, Thy servant."

In some cases, by agreement with the priest, a funeral liturgy can be performed in the church.

Parental Saturdays

Before the year from the day of death is completed, the deceased is called the newly departed. There is also a custom to do this only until the 40th day. Both traditions are valid.

Memorial Litias are performed in the church every Saturday. to which you should submit a note and a candle. On the days of common church remembrance - Parents' Saturdays - food is brought for the ministers of the temple, so that they join in the prayer. It is good to put a note with the name of the deceased in the bag with the offering, be sure to mark "for peace."

On the completion of the year from the date of death, a capital monument (cross) is erected over the grave and a requiem is served. After that, the deceased is called "remembered" (which is remembered forever).

Home prayer for the newly reposed

Almost all the texts sounded in the church at the funeral service and requiem can be used in home prayer for the deceased. You can find them in the prayer book or the Book... Usually, the remembrance of the newly departed is performed after the morning rule, where a separate text is devoted to this.

Prayer for the newly departed calms the bitterness of separation, allows you to spiritually connect with him, help his position. For a longer prayer, there is a "Canon for the Lonely Dead", where, for convenience, the commemoration is conducted in the singular. An akathist with the same name can be attached to the canon. These texts are in liturgical books, so for reading at home it is more convenient to buy a separate edition in the church or print it from the Internet. There is a tradition to read the Canon and Akathist precisely on the fortieth day.

Visiting the grave, the layman himself can sing the troparia "From the spirits of the righteous who have died", "Rest with the saints", "Eternal memory".

Complete collection and description: Psalter prayer for the departed to read for the spiritual life of a believer.

Since ancient times, the Orthodox Church has had a pious custom of reading the Psalter over the body of a deacon, monk and layman. (The Gospel is read over the deceased priest and bishop.) The Psalms are read continuously (except for the time when they are performed at the funeral service or litia) until the burial of the deceased and in his memory after burial. This reading serves as a prayer to the Lord for the deceased, comforts those who grieve for the deceased and turns their prayers for him to God.

Any pious layman can read the Psalter for the departed.

The Psalter is read while standing, and only in special cases is sitting allowed out of condescension to the weakness of the reader.

The Psalter consists of 20 sections - kathisma, each of which is divided into three "Glories". Before the reading of the first kathisma, the initial prayers are said, which are set before the beginning of the reading of the Psalter. At the end of the reading of the Psalter, prayers are recited after reading several kathismas or the entire Psalter.

The reading of each kathisma begins with a prayer:

Come, let us worship and fall down on Christ, our King God.

Come, let us worship and fall down on Christ Himself, the Tsar and our God.

(When reading the kathisma for each "Glory" (which reads as "Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, And now and forever and forever and ever, Amen") pronounced:

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, God! (thrice.),

Remember, O Lord our God, in the faith and hope of the belly of your eternal reposed servant, our brother [name] and as Good and Humanitarian, forgiving sins, and consumed unrighteousness, weaken, forgive and forgive all his free and involuntary sins, relieve him of eternal torment and the fire of hell, and grant him the sacrament and enjoyment of Thy eternal good, prepared for those who love Thee: if you sin, but do not depart from You, and it is unquestionable in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, God in the Trinity is glorified, faith, and the One in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, Orthodox even to the last gasp of confession. Even so, be merciful to that, and faith, even in Thee instead of deeds of imputation, and with Thy saints, as Abundant, rest: there is no man, who will live and not sin. But Thou art One besides all sin, and Thy righteousness, the truth forever, and Thou art the One God of mercies and generosity, and love for mankind, and we give You glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

(then the reading of the psalms continues)

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit:

One Pure and Immaculate Virgin, who gave birth to God without a seed, pray that his souls be saved.

(Then a prayer is recited at the end of the kathisma.)

Amen. One Pure and Immaculate Virgin, who gave birth to God without a seed, pray that his souls be saved. Lord have mercy (40 times)

(Then a prayer is recited at the end of the kathisma).

Order of reading the Psalms for the departed

In the Orthodox Church, there is a good custom of continuous reading of the Psalter over the body of the deceased (except for the time when funeral services or funeral litias are performed at the tomb) before his burial and in memory after his burial.

The reading of the Psalter for the dead has its origins in the most distant antiquity. Serving as a prayer to the Lord for the dead, it brings them great consolation both in itself, as reading the word of God, and as testifying to the love of their living brothers for them.

The reading of the Psalter begins at the end of "Following the Exodus of the Soul." Psalms should be read with affection and contrition of the heart, without haste, with attention delving into what is being read. The greatest benefit is the reading of the Psalter by the relatives of the deceased: it testifies to a great degree of love and zeal for those who are remembered by their neighbors. The Lord will accept the feat of reading not only as a sacrifice for those who are remembered, but also as a sacrifice for those who bring it, toilers of reading.

The position of the reader of the Psalter is the position of the one praying. Therefore, it is more appropriate for the reader of the Psalter to stand as a person praying, if a particular extreme does not force him to sit down.

In the Apostolic ordinances, it is commanded to perform psalmics, readings and prayers for the dead on the third, ninth and fourtieth days. But it was mostly the custom to read psalms for the dead for three days or forty days. The three-day reading of the Psalter with prayers, which constitute a special burial rite, for the most part coincides with the time during which the body of the deceased remains in the house.

Prayers before reading the Psalter

Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

To the Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfill everything, Treasure of the good and life to the Giver, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save our souls, Beloved.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.(It is read three times, with the sign of the cross and a bow in the waist.)

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquity; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for your name's sake.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us, for every bewildered answer, this Ti prayer as if to the Lord of sin we bring: have mercy on us.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit: Honest of Thy prophet, O Lord, triumph, Heaven, the Church of the show, Angels rejoice with men. By prayers, Christ God, rule our belly in the world, let us sing Ti: Alleluia.

And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen: Many of my multitudes, the Mother of God, of sins, I come to You, Pure, demanding salvation: visit my weak soul and pray to Thy Son and our God forgiveness, even for cruel deeds, Blessed One.

Lord have mercy, 40 times. And bow down, powerfully.

The same prayer to the Holy Life-Giving Trinity: All-Holy Trinity, God and the Supplier of the whole world, hurry and direct my heart, begin with reason and end the good deeds of these God-inspired books, even the Holy Spirit will burp out the lips of David, and now I want to speak , unworthy, realizing my ignorance, falling down I pray to Ty, and asking for help from you: Lord, control my mind and strengthen my heart, not about the words of the mouth of coldness, but have fun about the mind of those who are spoken, and get ready to do good deeds, I’m learning , and I say: let me be enlightened by good deeds, I will be a partaker at the judgment of the hands of the country with all Thy elect. And now, Vladyka, bless, yes, sighing from my heart, and with my tongue I will sing, saying to the sit: Come, let us worship our Tsar God. Come, let us worship and fall down on Christ, our King God. Come, let us worship and fall down on Christ Himself, the Tsar and our God.

Just wait a little, until all feelings subside. Then create a beginning not soon, without laziness, with tenderness and a broken heart. Rtsy quietly and intelligently, with attention, and not struggling, as well as the mind to understand the verb.

Come, let us worship our Tsar God.

When reading the kathisma for each "Glory" it is said:

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, God! (three times)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Remember, O Lord our God, in the faith and hope of the life of the everlasting departed(until the 40th day from the date of death - "newly departed") your servant[or: to Thy servant], our brother[or: our sister] [name] and like Good and Lover of Man, forgive sins, and consume unrighteousness, weaken, forgive and forgive all his free [or: her] sins and involuntary, deliver him[or: y] eternal torment and fire of hell, and grant him[or: her] the communion and enjoyment of Your eternal good, prepared for those who love You: even if you sin, but do not depart from You, and it is unquestionable about the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, You are glorified in the Trinity, faith, and the One in the Trinity and Trinity in Unity, Orthodox even to the last gasp of confession.

Even so, be merciful to that [or: that] wake up, and faith, even in Thee instead of deeds of imputation, and with Thy saints as Abundant rest: there is no man, who will live and not sin. But Thou art One besides all sin, and Thy righteousness, the truth forever, and Thou art the One God of mercies and generosity, and love for mankind, and we give You glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

And now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Then the reading of the psalms of kathisma continues.

At the end of the kathisma it reads:

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.(It is read three times, with the sign of the cross and a bow in the waist.)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquity; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for your name's sake.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we also leave our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

From the spirits of the righteous who have passed away, the soul of Thy servant, Savior, rest, preserving it in a blissful life, even with You, Human-loving

In Thy rest, O Lord: where all Thy sanctuaries rest, rest the soul of Thy servant, for you alone are the Humanitarian

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

One Pure and Immaculate Virgin, who gave birth to God without a seed, pray that his souls be saved.

Then a prayer is read, laid down at the end of the kathisma:

According to the 1st Kathisma

The Lord Almighty, Incomprehensible, the beginning of light and great power, like the Hypostatic Word, the Father and the emitter of Thy one-powerful Spirit: merciful for the sake of mercy and inexpressible goodness, not contemptuous of human nature, the contents of my sin, but with the Divine lights of Thy sacred teachings, the law and the shining prophets But for us that only-begotten Son of Thy grace to shine in the flesh, and to the illumination of us of Thy enlightenment instruct: let Thy ears be listening to the voice of our prayer, and grant us, O God, in a vigilant and sober heart, to pass away all this life of life, awaiting the coming of Thy Son and God ours, the judge of all, but not lying and sleeping, but awake and uplifting in the practice of Thy commandments to those who are clothed and in His joy we will co-exist, where they sing an unceasing voice, and the ineffable sweetness of those who see Your face, inexpressible kindness. For God is good and lover of mankind, and we glorify Thee, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever, amen.

According to the 2nd Kathisma

Master Almighty, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Only Begotten Son, give me an impertinent body, a clean heart, a cheerful mind, an unforgettable mind, an invasion of the Holy Spirit, to the acquisition and contentment of truth in Thy Christ: with Him, glory befits you, honor and worship, with the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever, amen.

According to the 3rd kathisma

O Lord Almighty, the Word of the Primordial Father, Self-perfect God Jesus Christ, mercy for the sake of Thy unapplied mercy, no longer part Thy servants, but always rest in them, do not leave me, Thy servant, All-Holy King, but give me joy and enlightenment to the unworthy my mind with the light of the knowledge of Thy Gospel, oblige my soul with the love of Thy Cross, decorate my body with Thy dispassion, keep my thoughts and my nose from encroachment, and do not destroy me with my iniquities, Good Lord, but tempt me, O God, and enlighten my heart mine, try me and lead my paths, and see if the way of iniquity is in me, and turn me away from it, and guide me on the eternal path. Thou art the Way, and the Truth, and the Belly, and we glorify Thee with Thy Beginning Father and the Most Holy, and the Good, and the Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever, amen.

According to the 4th kathisma

To Thee, O Lord, the only Good and Non-memory-wicked, I confess my sins, To Thee I cry out, unworthy: those who have sinned, O Lord, who have sinned, I am worthy to gaze at the height of heaven from the multitude of my iniquities. But, my Lord, Lord, grant me tears of tenderness, one Better and Most Merciful, as if by them I beg you to cleanse yourself before the end of all sin: the imam's place is terrible and menacing, the bodies are parted, and a multitude of dark and inhuman demons will shake me off, and help or deliver no one to help. By this I fall to Your goodness, do not betray me to those who offend, let them boast of me, Good Lord, lower and rekut: Thou came into our hands, and Thou hast surrendered to us. Neither, O Lord, forget Thy compassion, and do not reward me according to my iniquity, and do not turn Thy face away from me: but Thou, O Lord, punish me, both with mercy and compassion. Let my enemy not rejoice over me, but extinguish his rebuke on me and abolish all his action, and give me a steadfast path to You, Good Lord: having been slow and sinning, did not turn to another doctor, and did not open my hands to an alien god. , do not reject my prayer, but hear me with Thy goodness and strengthen my heart with Thy fear, and may Thy grace be on me, O Lord, as fire burns unclean thoughts in me. Thou art, Lord, light, more than any light; joy, more than any joy; repose, more than any repose; true life and salvation that endures forever and ever, amen.

According to the 5th kathisma

God the Righteous and Praiseworthy, God the Great and Mighty, Eternal God, hear the sinful man's prayer at this hour: hear me, promising to hear those who call in truth, and do not hate me, having an unclean mouth and contents in sin, hope of all the ends of the earth and wandering far away. Take your weapon and shield and rise up to help me: pour out your sword and make resistance to those who persecute me. Forbid an unclean spirit from the face of my madness, and let the spirit of hatred and malice, the spirit of envy and flattery, the spirit of fear and despondency, the spirit of pride and all other malice be removed from my thoughts; and may every kindling and movement of my flesh, from the devil's action, which is composed of and by all Thy saints, Thy all-honorable and glorious name, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever, amen.

According to the 6th kathisma

We thank Thee, O Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, even from the first age to the present in us, unworthy, who were, about theirs and not we, about revealed and unmanifest, who were also the work of, and in a word: loving us, as well as the Only Begotten Your Son, please, give us your permission. Make us worthy to be Your love. Grant wisdom with Thy word and with Thy fear breathe strength from Thy strength, and even if we have sinned or not, forgive, and do not charge and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, I have a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy philanthropy. And remember, O Lord, all who call on Your name in truth: remember all who are good or who resist us who want us: all men are truly human, and in vain is every man. Even so, we pray to You, Lord: grant us Your goodness, great mercy.

According to the 7th kathisma

O Lord, my God, like a Good and a Man-lover, you have done many mercies with me, you never dreamed of seeing, and what will I repay Your goodness, my Lord, Lord? I thank Your much-sung name, I thank Your inscrutable benevolence on me, I thank Your ineffectual patience. And from now on, intercede, and help me, and cover me, O Lord, from everyone who has no one else to sin against You: You weigh my nature, which is convenient for you, You weigh my madness, You weigh what I have done, even in the knowledge and not in the knowledge, even voluntary and involuntary, even in the night and in days, and in the mind, and thoughts, as if God is Good and Human-loving, cleanse me with the dew of Your mercy, Good Lord, and save us in the name for the sake of Your holy one, weigh us with destinies. Thou art the Light and the Truth and the Belly, and we glorify Thee, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever, amen.
