Prayer at a Distance

Request a Prayer Online

Request the priest's prayer for yourself and your loved ones, wherever you are.

A commemoration list holds the names of the living and the departed for whom the priest prays especially at the Divine Liturgy. A tradition centuries old in the Eastern Churches, it expresses the spiritual solidarity of the community — those close to us remain in the prayer of the Church even from afar.

Commemoration of the Living

This is the uninterrupted commemoration of names at forty consecutive Divine Liturgies, offered for the health and wellbeing of the living or for the repose of the souls of the departed. This rite is among the most powerful forms of the Church's intercession, for at every Liturgy the particle taken out for the one commemorated is immersed in the Holy Chalice with the prayer: "Wash away, O Lord, the sins of those here commemorated by Thy precious Blood" — bringing great spiritual benefit, forgiveness of sins and consolation to the souls for whom the prayer is raised.

Commemoration of the Departed

This commemoration is of particular importance for those who have fallen asleep in the first forty days after their passing to the Lord — a time when, according to the teaching of the Holy Fathers, the soul passes through the aerial toll-houses and stands before the Judgement of God — bringing them great help, rest and consolation.

Moleben (Service of Supplication)

A Moleben is a special service of supplication or thanksgiving offered to God, to the Mother of God, or to the saints on various occasions — illness, travel, the beginning of a work, the fulfilment of a blessed desire, or gratitude for gifts received. If you wish a Moleben (or Akathist) to be served to a particular saint or for a particular occasion, please indicate the saint honoured or the reason for the prayer, so that the service may be offered fittingly.

Free-will contributions are given according to means — prayer is never conditional on financial ability.

Candle and Prayer

Lighting a candle in church is an ancient symbol of faith and pure offering — a silent prayer raised before God for the living and the departed. Send the names of your loved ones to be commemorated in the prayers of intercession offered at the divine services, and let the candle lit for them be a visible sign of the unceasing prayer raised for their health, wellbeing, or the repose of their souls.

Reading of the Psalter

The reading of the Psalter is among the most ancient and most powerful prayers of the Orthodox Church, offered both for the health and deliverance of the living and for the repose of the souls of the departed. The Holy Fathers teach that every psalm is a prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the commemoration of the names of loved ones during the reading brings great consolation, spiritual help and forgiveness of sins — for this reason it is of great benefit to request their commemoration at this holy rite.

Supplicatory Canon to the Mother of God

The Supplicatory Canon to the Mother of God is a service of petition and intercession addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos, in which the faithful entrust their troubles, illnesses, sorrows and needs to her protection. Composed of canons, troparia and prayers of deep spiritual beauty, it is among the most powerful means of consolation and help in times of trial, and the commemoration of the names of loved ones during it brings blessing, health and peace to those for whom we pray.
