Prayer

Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of the Church of Russia, hear our fervent prayer! Vema, as if they were not from you, are still youngsters, listening to the ancient passion-bearers, thinking in their hearts, how much it is lovingly and virtuously to imitate such, even though neither torment nor death can separate them from the love of God.

It is good for you, as you followed the nature of the faith and patience of those who hear about them and love them. And at any time, it is possible to find an unexpected test on us, ask the Lord for a gift for us, which is so useful in the life of humanity. Having sanctified all the ends of our fatherland with his sufferings, as if common for all of us prayer books, implore God to deliver His people from the yoke, more terrible than any other. And may we and all our kind be forgiven the sin that weighs heavily on the Russian people: the murder of the tsar, the anointed of God, the saints and pastors with the flock, and the suffering of confessors, and the desecration of our shrines. May the schisms in our Church be abolished, may they be united, and may the Lord lead His laborers into the harvest, may the Church not be impoverished with good shepherds, who have to enlighten with the light of the true faith such a great multitude of people who have not been taught the faith, or who have turned away from the faith. You are not worthy of God's mercy, but for the sake of your sufferings, may Christ our God have mercy and mercy on all of us who call on you to help. But we always bring repentance for sins and thanksgiving for everything to Him, our Savior, with the Father and with the Holy Spirit, glorifying Him forever and ever. Amen.
