The Eparchy of St Peter the Apostle in San Diego of the Chaldeans has announced that His Holiness Mar Emmanuel III Delli, Catholicos and Patriarch Emeritus of Babylon and Ur of the Chaldees for the Catholic Chaldeans has reposed in the Lord. His Holiness died on Tuesday, April 8, 2014, in San Diego, California.
O God of all spiritual and corporeal beings, You Who trampled death, broke the power of Satan and granted life to the whole world, now, O Lord, grant rest to the soul of Your departed servant, the High Priest Emmanuel, in a place of light and peace, a place ever verdant, where there is neither pain nor sorrow nor sighing, but only life everlasting.
As You are a gracious God and the Lover of mankind, remember his years of service to You and forgive him every transgression committed by him in word, deed, or thought, since there is no man alive who has not sinned, for You alone are without sin and You are the Resurrection and the Life, O Christ our God, and we render all glory and honor to You, together with Your Eternal Father, and Your most Holy, gracious, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever, unto ages of ages. Amen.
In blessed repose, grant, O Lord, the rest of the righteous to Your servant, the High Priest Emmanuel, and may his memory be eternal.
