Alexiy II, Russian Patriarch, 1929-2008

As the head of the Russian Orthodox Church is buried today in Moscow, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Eastern Church and her faithful. From the Orthodox service for the dead, Pannikhida :

O Thou Who with wisdom profound order all things with love, and Who gives to all what is needful, O only Creator, give rest, O Lord, to the souls of Thy servants, for on Thee they have set their hope, our Maker and Builder, and our God.
