AKATHIST for the REPOSE of Those Who have FALLEN ASLEEP
IKOS 1
O Thou Who savest Adam and the whole human race from eternal perdition, Thou didst send Thy Son into the world, O Good God, and by His Cross and Resurrection Thou hast granted us also eternal life. Trusting to Thy infinite mercy, we look for the deathless Kingdom of Thy Glory, we implore Thee to grant it to those who have fallen asleep, and we pray: Gladden, O Lord, souls wearied by the storms of life, that earth’s sorrows and signings may not bury them in oblivion. Hear them, O Lord, in Thy bosom, as a mother responds to her children, and say to them: Your sins are forgiven you. Receive them, O Lord, into Thy calm and blessed haven that they may rejoice in Thy divine glory.
O Lord of unutterable Love, remember Thy servants who have fallen asleep.
IKOS 4
Recompense with the compassion of Thy infinite love, O Lord, all who have died in the full flush of their youth, who received on earth the thorny crown of suffering, who never experienced earthly joy. Grant recompense to those who died from overwork, through 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.
IKOS 5
O Father of all consolation and comfort, Thou brightenest with the sun, delightest with fruits, and galddenest with the beauty of the world both Thy friends and enemies. And we believe that even beyond the grave Thy loving kindness, which is merciful even to all rejected sinners, does not fail. We grieve for hardened and wicked blasphemers of Thy Holiness. May Thy saving and gracious will be over them. Forgive, O Lord, those who have died without repentance. Save those who have committed suicide in the darkness of their mind, that the flame of their sinfulness may be extinguished in the ocean of Thy grace.
O Lord of unutterable Love, remember Thy servants who have fallen asleep.

I hope that you will find it as comforting as I have.
The LORD bless you and keep you:
The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26 RSV
Your Brother In Christ, Michael

Please pray for a very nice man, who was grieving very much and we didn’t know about it until yesterday. Our Chris had interviewed for a job with him on Friday, before he died on Sat. The poor man was afraid he contributed to Chris’s depression as he didn’t hire him. 
We assured him he had not…It’s amazing how far and wide the death of a young person by suicide can reach and cause so much pain. He was so distraught to think he might have caused it. No way…it was just part of the whole mess and no one but Chris made a bad decision. Chris’s friends work for him, so that is how he found out.
