A prayer for Ukraine
Almighty and Great God, accept our gratitude for your boundless mercy towards us.
Hear the supplication of our afflicted hearts for the land and people of Ukraine, as
they confront foreign aggression and invasion.
Open the eyes of those who have
been overtaken by a spirit of deception and violence, that they be horrified by their
works. Grant victory over the powers of evil that have arisen and bless Ukraine with
your gifts of liberty, peace, tranquility, and good fortune.
We implore you, O Merciful God, look with grace upon those who courageously
defend their land. Remember the mothers and fathers, the innocent children, widows
and orphans, the disabled and helpless, those seeking shelter and refuge, who
reach out to you and to their fellow human beings looking for mercy and compassion.
Bless the hearts of those who have already shown great generosity and solidarity,
and those who prepare to receive their Ukrainian brothers and sisters in Ukraine’s
greatest time of need. Bring us together as your children, your creation, and instill in
us your strength, wisdom and understanding. May you be praised and glorified, now
and forever, and to the ages of ages.
Amen
