Before this Year end, this Blogspot remembers the following Hierarchs from different Eastern Catholic Churches that have fallen asleep to our Lord in this year. Rest assured that we lift our prayers for the Blessed repose of their Souls. Vichnayat Pamyat (MEMORY ETERNAL!!! +)

"O God of spirits and of all

bodies, who trampled down
death and overcame the devil,
and bestowed life on your
world, yourself O Lord set to
rest the soul of your servants

who has fallen asleep, in
a place of light, in a place of
green pastures, in a place of
rest whence all pain, sorrow
and sighing have been driven
away. Forgive him every
transgression committed in
word, in deed, or in thought,
for you are a good God, the
Lover of mankind; yet there is
no man born who does not"
