Prayer to All the Saints of the Ukrainian People

As a wondrous fruit of Your saving sowing, O Lord, our land brings to You all Your saints who have shone forth in our land. By their prayers, preserve our people and our country, O Most Merciful One.

All you saints of God of our people, pray to God for us!

You are our glory and praise, Saint Olga, for through you we began to be freed from paganism. And now pray for the people whom you brought to God.

Rejoice, servant of Christ, great prince, Saint Vladimir. Having known the one God in Trinity, you led the people to the feet of Christ through holy baptism.

Holy passion-bearers Boris and Gleb, pray for your Fatherland. Drive away hunger and malice, overcome and root out from our land various and all kinds of strife and discord, civil war, hatred and enmity, and protect us from sins and lawlessness.

The light of Christ's Gospel is preached by the most glorious Lavra, Saint Anthony of the Caves, and all our monasteries and shrines that received their beginning in the Lord from you. By your prayers, strengthen in the people true faith in God.

We magnify you, Saint Theodosius of the Caves, servant of God. By your prayers, ask that the sons and daughters of our Church may lead a God-pleasing and righteous life.

Be intercessors before God for our Homeland, which you glorified with the crown of martyrdom, Saint Hieromartyr Josaphat and all the martyrs. Teach the sons of our Church to courageously confess the faith of Christ.

All you holy servants of God, martyrs and hieromartyrs, our land rejoices and heaven is glad, magnifying your feats! You are the strengthening of our land, you are the pillars and beauty of our Church! Living in the unwaning light of the Kingdom of God, pray for us, for the healing and restoration of our bodies, and especially for the salvation of our souls.

Ask for God's blessing upon our Homeland, so that faith and orthodoxy, peace and piety may be strengthened in us. Christ, the Sun of Truth, sent you as rays that enlighten our land, servants of God, luminaries of our people. Illumine the soul of our people with your prayers to the Lord.

Intercessor of our land, Most Holy Theotokos! Rejoice, You who have crowned our Homeland with God's favor from ancient times, and the Most High sends it His Heavenly grace and mercy! May the Lord not take away His mercy from us, O Lady, even now. Look upon our needs and help by Your intercession before Your Son. Most Holy Theotokos, Protection of our land, may He have mercy and save us!

Holy Apostle Andrew, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Saints Cyril and Methodius, pray to Christ the Savior for us.

Saint Olga, Saint Vladimir, Saints Boris and Gleb, Saints Anthony and Theodosius of the Caves, Saint Josaphat and all martyrs for the faith of Christ, pray to God for us, and may He protect us from evil, from every sin, from sudden and unexpected death, from hardness of heart, from discord, hatred and evil will, from sickness of soul and body, from the vanities of this world, from all sinful temptations.

Grant us, O God, that by the prayers of the Holy Apostle Andrew, the Christian life may flourish in our Homeland for our joy and salvation; that by the prayers of Saints Cyril and Methodius we may always have good priesthood and spiritual guidance that would courageously lead us to Christ and His forgiveness, healing, and salvation;

that:

by the prayers of Saint Nicholas our people may live in peace, justice, and love;

by the prayers of Saint Olga our families may grow in righteousness;

by the prayers of Saint Vladimir the leaders of our people may be endowed with the fear of God, mercy, generosity, and justice;

by the prayers of Saints Boris and Gleb brotherly love and harmony may prevail among our people;

by the prayers of Saints Anthony and Theodosius of the Caves we may live in our land in peace and prosperity and always value eternal possessions above earthly ones;

by the prayers of Saint Josaphat and all the martyrs we may wash away our sins with true repentance and conversion to the Lord and, finally, attain and preserve in our land the unity of Christ's Church and faith.

O Most Holy Trinity! Accept what our land brings to You as a pleasing spiritual fragrance: all Your servants – the saints of the Ukrainian people, known and unknown – and by their prayers protect our land and our people from all evil and lawlessness. Amen.
