Prayers for the Lord's servant, the Priest Philip, who has served the bishops and faithful of the Eparchy, particularly my brothers and sisters of St Joseph's parish, and his Lord with faithfulness and love for many years now. May the Lord forgive him whatever sins he may have committed by word, thought, or deed, ease his suffering, and prepare for him a place to serve at the Holy Table of Heaven.
Prayers also for the Lord's servant, Proto-Deacon Michael, who has likewise served the parishioners of St Joseph's parish and his Lord these many years in faith and love. May his recovery be free of pain and complications. may he be restored to health, and may God grant him many years.
