Litany for Ukraine

Kiev, 2014

God our Father, king of the heavens, have mercy on us
God the Son, grain of wheat fallen to the ground, have mercy on us
God the Holy Spirit, oil of gladness, have mercy on us

Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Jesus Mercy of the Father, save your people
Jesus whose People were occupied by a foreign power, save your people
Jesus sent into exile with Your family, save your people
Jesus, infant persecuted by a tyrant, save your people
Jesus, shown all the kingdoms of the world, save your people
Jesus whose Kingdom is not of this world, save your people
Jesus, God and man hanging on a tree, save your people
Jesus, trampling death by death, save your people
Jesus rising from the grave, save your people.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,  graciously hear us, O Lord
Holy Theotokos, Mother of the Slavic peoples, pray for peace
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
