We saw the miracle of Ukraine's independence, the miracle of our Church's freedom, the development of our democracy. Let us pray and be sure that the Lord will stay true to His promises, said bishop Borys Gudziak during the all-day prayer vigil of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which is broadcast by Zhyve TV from 9:00 am to 9 pm.
UGCC Archeparchy of Philadelphia joined world prayer for peace in Ukraine.
“Deceptive darkness envelops Ukraine… But virtually, Ukraine is enveloped by the warmth of a prayer of the whole world today”, the Bishop said.
“Dawn is coming. Christ was born at night. At night, our Christ was praying to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane and sweated blood before facing His passions. But dawn is coming and there is a day in Ukraine. In America all who pray together for peace and justice, for freedom and dignity unite with Ukraine in prayer”, said Bishop Borys.
“Tonight God is with us, and we live together in God in peace and hope. Let peace of prayer be with all of us”, Bishop Borys wished.
