When it is said
It is a prayer for home, said by a son or daughter for their mother and father. Say your parents’ names where the prayer asks for them.
It can follow the morning prayers.
Where it comes from
No author known
Who wrote it?
No one knows, and its age is not known either. A prayer book printed in Kyiv in 2019, for people in prison, gives it with no name, in Church Slavonic, the old language of Russian church services. A Moscow parish, the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Sparrow Hills, prints the same words.

Parents in every morning’s prayers
The Russian prayer book makes room for parents every day. Its morning prayers end with two short prayers, one for the living and one for the departed, and both name one’s parents. G. V. Shann’s English prayer book of 1891 gives the first: “Save, O Lord, and have mercy upon my parents, brothers, and sisters.”

The Scripture in it
Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

In Church Slavonic
Господи и Боже мой Иисусе Христе! Услыши молитву мою о родителех моих (имена).
Даруй им единомыслие и любовь во вся дни жизни их.
Укрепи тела их во здравии, да послужат Тебе делами милости и Евангельскаго добра.
Научи мя всегда быти послушным родительскому слову, избави мя от лицемерия и лукавства в обращении с ними и не лиши нас всех оправдания на Страшном Суде Твоем. Аминь.
From the prayer book on Azbyka.ru, a Russian Orthodox website, in Church Slavonic.
