Dear Brothers and Sisters!

In our parish, we have an ardent desire that the whole world might pray for PEACE.

Therefore, I invite all those who, like me, have a heartache from what is happening... 

to join our common prayer.

-

Every day at 9pm... 

let everyone at home or anywhere else... 

for 5 to 10 minutes, from the bottom of their hearts... 

ask Our Lord to hear our prayer and to grant Peace... 

both in the Ukrainian land... 

and in our hearts.

-

Let it be an arbitrary prayer... 

in your own words

all by yourself!

E.g....

Oh my God !

I beg you, hear my prayer,

my heart breaks with compassion

for those who are now suffering innocently.

I know that everything is Your holy Will,

but I can’t calmly watch my brother kill my brother,

cannot watch how children die,

how the world is going crazy.

I cry with those who are now shedding tears

from resentment and misunderstanding

of what is happening.

I ask You to show Your Power,

create a Miracle, show us the Way

to Peace and Harmony.

My only hope

is You Lord.

Amen.
