"The Lord Jesus personally
gives us the commandment
to love one another, so that,
by consoling one another
with mutual love, we may
lighten the sorrowful and
narrow way of our journey
to the heavenly country."— St Seraphim of Sarov
. .Ministries / Prayer Ministry
. .Do You Have A Prayer Request?
Caring for one another begins with prayer (James 5:16), and benefits not only those for whom we are praying, but it also can have a positive effect on our own spiritual well-being. As Orthodox Christians we know that God hears and answers prayers.
God commands us to love one another, and in joy we pray for those in our community, along with family, friends, and those known and unknown.
The St. Seraphim Prayer Ministry of Holy Trinity Church invites you to join the men and women of our parish to intercede for the needs of our church family, our parish, our community here on Long Island, and the Church at large.
This is an opportunity to grow in your life of prayer and minister to the needs of our community. In the future we plan to hold seminars on prayer, intercession and meditation that will help us grow in our prayer life and our relationship with Christ.
Come, and pray with us!
Prayer Service for Pregnancy Loss
October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day in the United States. At 7pm on this day, we have a service of intercession for the healing and comfort of those who are grieving an infant death, stillbirth or miscarriage and for the remembrance of their children.
Unction Service for those suffering from illness
When members of the Holy Trinity are suffering from severe illness, an unction service will be celebrated. The service is open to anyone who is suffering or in need of annointing.
Please contact frmartin@htocem.org to request annointing or to find out when the next Unction service will be celebrated.
Akathistos to the Mother of God: Joy of All Who Sorrow
During times when members of the Holy Trinity parish family are critically ill, the prayer ministry group will celebrate a prayer vigil, typically an Akathistos Hymn to the Mother of God.
The prayer vigil consists of members committing to chosing a time of day: morning, afternoon, or night to pray the Akathist to the Theotokos, Joy of All Who Sorrow. The service is therefore offered continuously throughout the day.
If you have a prayer request you may send it to
prayer@htocem.org or you may call the rectory at
516-483-3649.
Requests are held in confidence by the members of
the Prayer Ministry and a member of the Prayer
Ministry will follow up on your request by phone.
In addition to regular divine services at Holy Trinity,
below is a list of annual services and opportunities to
join our community in prayer.
by the V. Rev Thomas Hopko
O holy Father, heavenly Physician of our
souls and
bodies, who has sent Your Only-begotten Son our Lord
Jesus Christ to heal
all our ailments and deliver us from
death:
visit and heal Your servant(s) ___________,
granting him/her release from pain and
restoration to
health and vigor, that s/he
may give thanks unto You
and bless Your
holy Name, of the Father, and of the
Son,
and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and
unto ages
of ages. Amen.
O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who has
trampled down
death and overthrown the
Devil, and given life to Your
world, do You,
the same Lord, give rest to the souls of
Your departed servant(s) ____________,
in a place of
brightness, a place of
refreshment, a place of repose,
where all
sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled
away.
Pardon every transgression which
they have committed,
whether by word or
deed or thought. For You art a good
God
and lovest mankind; because there is no
man who
lives yet does not sin, for You only
are without sin, Your
righteousness is to all
eternity, and Your word is truth.
For You are the Resurrection, the Life, and
the Repose
of Your servants who have fallen
asleep, O Christ our
God, and unto You we
ascribe glory, together with Your
Father,
who is from everlasting, and Your all-holy,
good,
and life-creating Spirit, now and ever
unto ages of ages.
Amen.
