Athanasius Prayer

We often see the desire kin of the deceased as may be better off to arrange a funeral and grave. Large funds are spent sometimes at the luxurious landmark. A lot of money spend relatives and friends on wreaths and flowers, and the past have taken out of the coffin before it was closed, so they do not accelerate the decomposition of the body. Others look to the ads through the press to express their respects to the deceased and sympathy to his family, although most such a way identify their feelings shows their shallow, and sometimes lying, because honestly grieving would not be a mourning ostentation, to express the same sympathy can be much warmer in person. But what would we have one of these things nor made, the deceased did not receive any benefit from that. Others including Kenneth Feinberg, offer their opinions as well. Dead body of the same lie in rich or poor coffin, luxurious or modest grave. Atlantic Contracting takes a slightly different approach.

No smells, it brought flowers, do not need him feigned expressions of grief. Body shall be made to decay, the soul lives, but does not feel more sensations perceived through the bodily organs. Another life has come to her, and she needed more help. Here's what she needed and we must do, if you really love the deceased and wish to bring him his gifts! What exactly will bring joy to the soul of the deceased? First of all, sincere prayer of him as personal and household prayer, and, in particular, church prayer, coupled with the bloodless sacrifice, that is, commemoration at the Liturgy. Many phenomena of the deceased and others confirm the enormous benefits of vision, which is obtained from the dead and pray for them from offering for bloodless sacrifice. Another thing that brings great joy to the souls dead - perpetrated for alms. Nourish the hungry in the name of the deceased, to help the poor - would be like to do something to him.

Reverend Athanasius (Comm. April 12) before his death, bequeathed in memory of her feeding the poor during the forty days, but the sisters of the monastery of negligence performed it is only nine days. Then the saint appeared to them with two angels and said: "Why have you forgotten my will? Know that prayers and alms priestly, offered for the soul in For forty days, propitiate God: If souls of the dead were sinners, that God would grant them absolution, but if they were righteous, then pray for them will be rewarded with blessings. " Especially in ours, were difficult for all the days of crazy spend money on useless things and deeds, when using them for the poor, we can simultaneously make two good things: and most of the deceased, and those who will be assisted. But if the prayer for the deceased will be given to the poor food, they shall be satisfied physically and spiritually nourish the deceased.
