Human life is complex and unpredictable. Each of us is assigned a period of stay on the sinful earth, and the moment comes when the Lord calls us to Himself. How we live our years determines His attitude towards us. Otherwise, the punishment will be terrible and eternal. But not so much is 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 destinies, to think about spiritual we alth, and not about financial well-being. But still, it is not always possible to be a model of humanity. And leaving for another world, we need the intercession of our loved ones and relatives before God. We underestimate the power of praying to the Lord for the forgiveness of the sins we have committed in life. And with the same frivolity we treat prayers for departed loved ones. Asking the Lord for the soul of the deceased, we help his soul to gain the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord will hear our requests if they are sincere and come from the heart. The memorial prayer opens the way for the deceased to heaven, to a kingdom where there is no grief or tears.
Compliance with the rules whenreading
You need to pronounce the words in the correct order, the memorial prayer should sound every day, especially in the first days after a person leaves. The church publishes prayer books, where the commemorative prayer - the commemoration book, must be read in strict accordance with the text. Words about the dead and prayers for them can be read in the morning and in the evening. In order not to make mistakes that may affect the state of the soul of the deceased, it makes sense to turn to confessors and get 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 starting conversions, one should receive a blessing that will open the way for sincere requests to the Eternal Kingdom of the Creator.
Journey of the soul
Why is the deceased remembered for 40 days? Church leaders give the answer. The soul wanders the earth for 40 days, the Lord asks her about the sins and deeds she has committed. It is the memorial prayer for 40 days that will help the deceased person to endure difficult trials, the prayers of loved ones will soften God, and He will have mercy on our deceased loved one.
Love of God
The goodness of the Creator is boundless, He died for our sins, saved our souls and destroyed sin. He is ready to forgive us the worst deeds, 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 do not have time, we hardly have time to utter a few words of gratitude from time to time and automatically. And no one knows the time of the end of life, only the Lord. But even here God did not leavegave us 40 days for our loved ones, which can save their souls.
Memorial prayer is a manifestation of love and respect, which means that we are not indifferent to the future fate of the deceased. Thus, we fully reflect the purity of relations with a loved one. Do not dismiss the process of prayer, 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.
