Of your charity, pray for Ukraine; I have drawn up the following litany from the special petitions being used at the Divine Liturgy by priests of the Ukrainian Catholic Church here in Australia, as exemplified by the services for Cheesefare [see the video recording from 6:19 to 7:05] and Meatfare [see 40:40 to 42:10] Sundays at St Andrew's, Lidcombe, NSW:
A Litany for Ukraine in Time of Invasion
1. That the Lord God grant peace and glory to Ukraine, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
2. That the Lord God grant Ukraine deliverance from the enemy invasion and from all evil attacks, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
3. That the Lord God turn all the sorrows and groans of the people of Ukraine into joy and gladness, and their troubles into lasting peace, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
4. That the Lord God make the people of Ukraine invincible against all hostile attacks, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
5. That the Lord God destroy the shields, weapons and strength of all the forces of the enemy and throw them under the feet of the Christ-loving army of Ukraine, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
