Prayers
Prayer for the peace in Ukraine
God of infinite mercy and goodness, with grateful hearts we pray to you today for Peace. You
offer us your peace continually and constantly remind us that peacemakers are blessed, “for
they shall be called children of God”. May your voice resound in the hearts of all, as you call us
to follow the path of reconciliation and peace, and to be merciful as you are merciful. We pray
to you for Ukrainian people, who are experiencing war and deaths. Bless the leaders with
wisdom, to build together a world of justice, and to break down walls of hostility. May you
continue to inspire all of us to oneness of heart and mind, to respect the dignity of every nation,
which have their origin in the image and likeness of God impressed upon every human being
Grant eternal rest to the dead and quick recovery to the wounded, we pray through Christ our
Lord, Amen!
Молитва за мир в Україні
Боже безмежного милосердя і доброти, з вдячними серцями ми молимо Тебе сьогодні за
мир. Ти постійно пропонуєш нам свій мир і постійно нагадуєш нам, що миротворці
благословенні, «бо вони будуть названі дітьми Божими». Нехай Твій голос лунає в серцях
усіх, коли Ти закликаєш нас йти шляхом примирення і миру, і бути милосердними, як Ти
є милосердний. Молимося Тобі за український нарід, який переживає війну і смерть.
Благослови лідерів мудрістю, щоб разом побудувати світ справедливості та зруйнувати
стіни ворожості. Нехай і надалі надихаєш усіх нас до єдності серця і розуму, поважати
гідність кожної нації що походить від образу і подоби Божої, надрукованої на кожній
людині. Померлим вічний спочинок дай, а пораненим швидкого одужання, у Христі
Господі нашому, молимось Тобі Боже. Амінь!
Prayer of Saint John Chrysostom
Almighty God, who has given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common
supplications to you and promised that when two or three are gathered together in your
name you will grant their requests: fulfill now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of your
servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of your
truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. -

ХРИСТОС ВОСКРЕС! CHRIST IS RISEN!
ВОІСТИНУ ВОСКРЕС! TRULY НЕ IS RISEN!
Дорогі в Христі!
Наша Великопісна подорож приводить нас на поріг найурочистішого тижня у
церковному літургійному році. Страсний тиждень зміцнює нашу надію і віру. Він
закликає нас йти пліч-о-пліч з нашим Спасителем в останні дні Його земного
служіння, згадуючи дорогу на Голгофу, смерть у Страсну п'ятницю і радість в День
Воскресіння.
Я запрошую Вас і Ваші родини, щоб у спільній молитві подякувати Богові
за Його любов до нас, та за перемогу і мир в Україні.
Складаю глибоку вдячність за Вашу доброту і щедрість. Нехай Воскреслий
Христос благословить Вас і дарує всього найкращого у Вашому житті.
Dear in Christ!
Our Lenten journey has brought us to the threshold of the most solemn week of
our liturgical year. Holy Week strengthens our hope and our faith. It invites us to walk
side by side with our Savior during the last days of His earthly ministry, recalling His
painful walk to Calvary, His death on Good Friday and the joy on the Resurrection Day.
I invite you and your families to pray together as a faith community to give thanks
to God for His love for us and for victory and peace in Ukraine.
Deepest thanks to you for your kindness and generosity. May our Risen Christ
bless you all and give you all the best in yours life.
