Human life is complex and unpredictable. Each of us is given a period of stay on the sinful earth, and the minute comes when the Lord calls us to Himself. His attitude towards us depends on how we lived our years. Otherwise, the punishment will be terrible and eternal. But it is not so much required of us - to live in kindness and respect for people, to honor our loved ones, to respect old age, not to break other people's fates, to think about spiritual wealth, and not about financial well-being. But still it’s not always possible to be a model of humanity. And going into another world, we need the intercession of our loved ones and relatives before God. We underestimate the power of prayer addressed to the Lord for the forgiveness of sins that we have committed in life. And with the same frivolity we regard the prayers for the departed loved ones. Asking the Lord for the soul of the deceased, we help his soul gain the kingdom of heaven. The Lord will hear our requests if they are sincere and come from the heart. A memorial prayer opens the way for the deceased to paradise, to the kingdom, where there is neither grief nor tears.
Reading Compliance
You need to pronounce the words in the correct order, the memorial prayer should sound every day, especially in the first days after the person leaves. The church publishes prayer books, where the memorial prayer is the commemoration, and must be read in strict accordance with the text. Words about the dead and prayers for them can be read in the morning and evening. In order not to make mistakes that may affect the state of the soul of the deceased, it makes sense to turn to the confessors and receive wise advice, because the memorial prayer is not just words, but the main and powerful guide of the deceased to the Kingdom of Heaven. Before the beginning of the appeals, one should receive a blessing that will open the way for sincere requests to the Eternal Kingdom of the Creator.
Soul journey
Why is the deceased remembered 40 days? The answer is given by church ministers. The soul wanders the earth for 40 days, the Lord asks her about the committed sins and deeds. It is a memorial prayer for 40 days that will help a departed person endure difficult trials, the prayers of those close to him will soften God, and He will have mercy on our dead loved one.
Love of the Lord
The kindness of the Creator is unlimited, He died for our sins, saved our souls and destroyed sin. He is ready to forgive us the worst acts, the main thing is to repent of them and ask for forgiveness. After all, the life given by God was intended for good deeds, love and care. And we don’t have time, we hardly manage to say a few words of gratitude from time to time and mechanically. And nobody knows the time of the end of life, only the Lord. But even here God did not leave us, gave 40 days for our loved ones that could save their souls.
A memorial prayer is a manifestation of love and respect, which means that we are not indifferent to the fate of the deceased. Thus, we fully reflect the purity of relations with a loved one. Do not dismiss the process of prayers, because someday we will need help for our souls. Our loved ones need a memorial prayer, the text of which can be found in any prayer book.
