NEWLY-DEPARTED PRAYER REQUEST:
TWO MEMBERS OF THE EXTENDED MAYMON FAMILY
Archpastoral Prayer Request from His Eminence Archbishop Mark

Dear to God,

Christ is in our midst! He is and ever shall be!

I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the clergy, matushki, and faithful of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania and beyond for your prayers, condolences, and expressions of love and support for my family during this difficult time. It is truly appreciated and I am deeply grateful.

I ask that you remember in your prayers my brother-in-law Bob (Robert) Lewen (+7/30/26), the husband of my late sister, Mona, who fell asleep in the Lord this morning. I also ask your prayers for my brother-in-law Bob (Robert) Eckert (+7/21/26), the husband of my sister Rhonda, who recently passed away. Please remember Robert and Robert in your personal prayers, and especially keep the Maymon, Lewen, and Eckert families in your prayers during this time of mourning.

As we pray during the funeral service, "The mercies of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and the remission of their sins, let us ask of Christ, the immortal King and God!" May the Most Holy Theotokos, together with all the saints, intercede before the throne of God for the newly departed and for all those who mourn their repose.

Your unworthy father in Christ,

+MARK
Archbishop of Philadelphia and the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania
