This book contains newly redacted offices, orders, prayers and blessings in Revised Liturgical English® (RLE) that form a practical handbook for the administration of Orthodox Christian parish needs. Although clergy have ready copies of frequently-needed services such as the rites of Holy Baptism and Matrimony, they may have difficulty locating many of the more occasional offices and prayers, such as:

• Prayers for women & infants

• Prayer for a woman in difficult labor

• Office at the adoption of a child

• Blessing of the marriage of heterodox converts

• Prayers for the reestablishment of a marriage after a divorce

• Prayer after an attempted suicide

• Service of consolation after a suicide

• Prayer for one condemned to death

• Prayer at the time of execution of one condemned

• Service of Burial for a non-Orthodox

• Prayers at the induction of parish officers

• Various blessings of liturgical objects

• Dismissals

• Blessings throughout the liturgical year

• The Order of Confession and prayers after Confession

• Canon of Supplication for the dying

• Order of the Blessing of Spacecraft

This second printing, published in April 2026, features an upgraded cloth-over-boards construction with smyth-sewn binding and two ribbon bookmarks.
