Memorial Page for Departed Members

A Prayer for the Dead: 

Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend the souls of thy servants NN., and beseech thee to grant them rest in the place of thy rest, where all thy blessed Saints repose, and where the light of thy countenance shineth forever. And I beseech thee also to grant that our present lives may be godly, sober, and blameless, that, we too may be made worthy to enter into thy heavenly Kingdom with those we love but see no longer: for thou art the Resurrection, and the Life, and the Repose of thy departed servants, O Christ our God, and unto thee we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Troparion to St. Ignatius of Antioch:

By choosing the Apostles' way of life, you succeeded to their throne. Inspired by God you found the way to divine contemplation through the practice of virtue. After teaching the Word of Truth without error, you defended the Faith to the very shedding of your blood, O Holy Martyr among bishops Ignatius. Entreat the Lord our God to save our souls.

Departed Members of the Order of St. Ignatius:

We pray to you, ray of light, heavenly King, praised beyond telling, Son of God, majestic beyond words, incline your ears once again, exalted compassion, refuge of life, towards those who are fallen asleep in the Lord.  Remember, O God, all those deceased members of the Order who have fallen asleep before us in the hope of resurrection to eternal life. Grant them rest, O God, where the light of countenance shines on them.
