Vicnaja pamjat! Eternal Memory! The Metropolitan of the Byzantine Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh, fell asleep in the Lord today. Please pray for him: With the souls of the Just brought to perfection, give rest, O Savior, to the soul of Your servant + BASIL, keeping him for the blessed life with You, for You love mankind.
In blessed repose, grant, O Lord, eternal rest to your departed servant,
the high priest Metropolitan Basil, and remember him forever.
Eternal Memory!
Here are some prayers from the PANACHIDA, the prayer service for the Departed.
With the souls of the Just brought to perfection, give rest, O Savior, to the soul of Your servant + BASIL, keeping them for the blessed life with You, for You love mankind.
In the place of rest which is Yours, O Lord, where all Your Saints repose, give rest to the soul of Your servant, for You alone love mankind.
Glory be to the Father +, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
You are the God Who descended into the realm of death and ended the sorrow of the captives; give rest, also, to the soul of Your servant, O Lord.
Now and ever, and forever. Amen.
O Virgin, the only pure and immaculate, you gave birth to God; intercede for the salvation of the soul of your servant.
