Вічна Пам'ять: Упокоївся о. Веніамін Ворлинський

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

"Blessed is the way you walk today, O soul; a place of rest has been prepared for you."

It is with a profound sense of our own loss, that we inform the faithful of our Holy Metropolia of the passing from this life on last Tuesday of the servant of God Father Benjamin Worlinsky, retired priest of Our Church that served as pastor of Saint Andrew Parish in Blakely, PA.

On behalf of our hierarchs and our Church we send sympathy to Dobrodiyka Beverly for her loss and all their family for their loss. May God give rest to his servant Father Benjamin, where there is no pain, no sorrow, but life everlasting.

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who has trampled down death; You have overthrown the devil and have given Life to Your world: now give rest, Lord, to the soul of Your departed servant Father Benjamin, in a place of light, a place of refreshment and a place of repose, where there is no sickness, sighing nor sorrow. As You are a Good God, Who loves mankind, pardon every sin, which he has committed, whether by word or by deed or by thought, for there is no man who lives and has not sinned. You alone are sinless, Your Righteousness is Eternal and Your Word is Truth. For You are the Resurrection, the Life and the Repose of your newly presented servant Father Benjamin, Christ our God and we give glory, together with Your Father, Who is Eternal and Your All-Holy, Good and Life-Creating Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen!
