The Panachida

During the last week of November and on the Exodus 90 Day of Remembrance, November 29th, we pray for our departed Exodus Brothers through a Byzantine prayer service, the Panachida.

Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy on us. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen. (3x)

Trinity most holy, have mercy on us. * Cleanse us of our sins, O Lord; * pardon our transgressions, O Master; * look upon our weaknesses and heal them, O Holy One; * for the sake of Your name. Lord, have mercy. Lord have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever, Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

Priest: For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever.

People: Amen.

The Tropars for the Reposed

All: With the just spirits who have reached their end, give repose to the souls of Your servants, O Savior, keeping them in the happiness of life in Your presence, O You Who love mankind. In Your abode, O Lord, where all Your saints repose, give rest also to the souls of Your servants, for You alone love mankind.

Cantor: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. You are the God Who went down into Hades and loosed the chains of those in bondage: also to the souls of Your servants, O Savior, give repose.

Cantor: Now and for ever and ever. Amen. Only chaste and immaculate Virgin, who gave birth to God without seed, intercede before Him for the salvation of their souls.

The Litany for the Reposed

Deacon: Have mercy on us, O God, in the greatness of Your compassion, we pray You, hear us and have mercy.

All: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Deacon: We also pray for the repose of the soul of the servant of God, (N.), who has fallen asleep, and for the forgiveness of his offenses, voluntary and involuntary.

All: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Priest: That the Lord God may place his soul where all the just repose.

All: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Priest: Let us ask Christ, our immortal King and our God, for the mercy of God, for the kingdom of heaven, and for the forgiveness of his sins.

All: Grant this, O Lord.

Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord.

All: Lord, have mercy.

Priest: God of spirits and of all flesh, You trampled death, You made the devil powerless, and You gave life to Your world. Now, O Lord, to the soul of Your servant, (N.), who has fallen asleep, grant rest in a place of light, a place of verdure, and a place of tranquility, from which pain, sorrow and mourning have fled. As the good and loving God, forgive every sin of thought, word or deed he has committed. There is no one who will live and will not sin, for You alone are sinless. Your justice is everlasting justice and Your word is truth. For You, O Christ our God, are the resurrection, the life and the repose of Your servant, (N.), who has fallen asleep; and we give glory to You, together with Your eternal Father and Your most holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and for ever and ever.

All: Amen.

The Dismissal

Deacon: Wisdom.

All: More honorable than the cherubim and by far more glorious than the seraphim; ever a virgin, you gave birth to God the Word; O true Mother of God, we magnify you.

Priest: Glory be to You, O Christ our God, our hope, glory be to You.

All: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Give the Blessing.

Priest: Christ our true God, Who has power over the living and the dead, through the prayers of His immaculate Mother; of the holy, glorious and all-praiseworthy apostles; of our venerable and godly fathers, and of all the saints, will place the soul of His servants, (N.), which has departed from us, in the abode of the just, and will give him rest in the bosom of Abraham, and number him among the just, and will have mercy on us, for He is good and loves mankind.

All: Amen.

The Вічная Пам’ять

Priest: Grant, O Lord, eternal rest in blessed repose to Your ever-to-be-remembered servant, (N.), and make his/her memory eternal.

Rx: Memory Eternal. [or Вічная Пам’ять] (6x)
With the saints grant him/her/them rest, O Christ Memory Eternal. [or Вічная Пам’ять]

Like the prophets of old, we too have been called to bear witness to Christ's saving power.
How should a Christian man intentionally live out the season of Advent? How do we prepare for the coming of Christ?

Our Apostolate Promise

Since we started in 2015, more than 99% of men report experiencing greater freedom with Exodus 90. If you do not experience greater freedom yourself, we will give you all of your money back. Because it’s not about the money to us. It’s about the mission and our passion for serving men like you.

If you or any man you know cannot afford the cost of a subscription, please reach out to a friendly member of our support team at support@exodus90.com and we will cover the cost. We’ve always operated this way because we never want money to keep a man from becoming an Exodus man.

That’s our Apostolate Promise.
