EO ONLY: Are there prayers offered for victims of abortion and miscarriages?

[RileyG]

I came across an Orthodox video on youtube about 50 things you should pray for. He mentioned those who died in the womb (miscarriages) and the babies killed in abortion.

Is it a simple prayer such as "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on _______" or is there a liturgical prayer? so to speak?

Thanks

Riley

The OCA has devised a service for after a miscarriage, you may find something appropriate to borrow from there: Music Downloads - Service after Miscarriage

do both the formal prayers like gzt pointed out, and do simple stuff on your own.

yeppers.

 

[RileyG]

yeppers.

Amen.

So where are the aborted and miscarried, so to speak? My mother had very early miscarriages. I always thought of them as in heaven, but not my "real siblings." I always say I have four brothers. I do not include them in the list.

And prayer helps them known but to God?
