Prayers to the Lord for Relatives and Neighbors

Prayers to the Lord for Relatives and Neighbors

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, save, have mercy, and protect your servant (servant, your servants — names) by your grace (pray as often as possible).

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, cover us, your servants, from the malice of our enemy, for his strength is great, our nature is passionate and our strength is powerless. Yet you, O Merciful One, preserve us from the disturbance of thoughts and the flood of passions. Lord, Sweetest Jesus, have mercy and save your servants: my relatives (names) and all kin, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, teachers, benefactors, all who love and hate us, and every soul that most needs your help.

Remember

Those who hate and wrong us, forgive, O Lord Lover of Mankind. Do good to our benefactors. Grant to our brothers and relatives what they ask for salvation and eternal life. Look upon the unworldly and give them healing. Protect those who are at sea; be a companion to travelers. Help all true Christians in their struggle. To those who serve us and show us mercy, grant the remission of sins. Those who have filled us with unworthiness, pray for them, have mercy from your great mercy. Remember, O Lord, the departed fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters of ours and lay them to rest where the light of your face shines. Remember, O Lord, our captive brothers and deliver them from all danger. Remember, O Lord, those who bring gifts and do good in your holy churches, and remember the poor, and give them what they ask for salvation and eternal life. Remember, O Lord, also us, humble, sinful and unworthy servants of yours, and enlighten our mind with the light of your wisdom, and lead us along the paths of your commandments through the prayers of the Most Pure Lady, our Theotokos, and Ever‑Virgin Mary and all your saints, for you are blessed forever and ever. Amen.

Gospel Reading for the Neighbor for Healing, Help, Mercy

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on your servant (name) by the words of your Divine Gospel, read for the salvation of your servant. May the thorns of all his sins fall, O Lord, and may your grace, which burns, purifies, heals and sanctifies the whole person forever, dwell in him. Amen. (Read, standing, a chapter from the Gospel).
