Patriarch Ilia II: Tomorrow, at 12:00, no matter where you are, let us all pray to the Lord for Ukraine and the whole world

The Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia addresses the parish and calls for a joint prayer for peace.

Ilia II appeals to the parish to pray to the Lord for Ukraine and the whole world.

"Unfortunately, Russian-led hostilities continue in Ukraine, costing thousands of lives.

I would like to call on our parishioners (both in Georgia and abroad) to pray together for peace.

Tomorrow, Thursday, at 12:00 Tbilisi time, no matter where you are (in the temple, at work, at home or on the street), let us all pray together to the Lord for Ukraine and the whole world and let us ask Blessed Virgin Mary for help with this powerful prayer:

[cites prayer]

God, save Ukraine, save Georgia and the world!

On Sunday, March 20, the clergy are given the blessing to give church service after liturgy for peace in Ukraine and requiem to those who died in this war.

May God hear our prayers and have mercy on us, Amen!" reads the statement of the Patriarch of Georgia, spread by the Public Relations Department of the Georgian Patriarchate.
