Prayer before the Icon of the New Martyrs of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church

Lord, Creator of the universe, of the seas and the stars, of the birds of heaven and the mountains, of the forests and all that is in them! Before Your majesty I stand, a creature of Your hands. You see my imperfection and weakness; have mercy on me, and grant me the Power of Your Spirit to finish the work I have begun. Not for my own glory, but for the salvation of my soul and to glorify You, my one and all‑good Creator and Father.

May every man and woman, looking upon this icon, see You alone and worship You “in spirit and truth”, truly glorifying Your holy wounds by the heavenly power of our holy martyrs, who gave their lives as a sacrifice for Christ and for many. For You are our God, and we are Your beloved people and children, Lord; we invoke Your name, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
