Akathist of Repentance For One Who Has Aborted a Child

Translated from the Russian: “Акафист покаянный жен, загубивших младенцев во утробе своей,” published in the book, Молитвы Родителей о Демах и Семейном Благополучии

No. 7 of St. Paisius Orthodox Monastery Series

“We humbly beg forgiveness in advance, dear reader, knowing the hesitation you may have felt even before opening the cover of this book. For some, the strong words found in it will not sit comfortably upon an American ear and may even sound extreme. [...]It is our fervent prayer that this Akathist will serve as an instrument for the cleansing of souls burdened with this heavy sin, and that over time these penitential prayers will actually become a consoling presence in those hearts searching out and resting in the Lord’s powerful forgiveness.”
—“A Word from the Editors”
