Prayer For Peace in Ukraine
Heavenly Father, You Son taught us “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God.” We fervently pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that you inspire men to become peacemakers. May mankind seek reconciliation and peace as is Your Will in this world. May tranquility be restored to all nations and especially Ukraine. God, Our Father, we beseech You to comfort the suffering, heal the wounded, and accept the souls of the dearly departed into Your heavenly kingdom. May the Most Holy Mother of God extend Her Mantle of Protection over Ukraine and the whole world. May each of us always live our lives as instruments of Your peace, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
- The Finding of the Cross of Christ and ongoing Veneration
“To Your Cross, O Master, we bow in veneration, and we glorify Your Holy Resurrection”. On September 14th, our Ukrainian Catholic Church celebrated the Feast of the Exaltation of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross. The establishment of the Feast throughout the Christian world is very much connected with the finding of the True Cross. St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, had discovered the True Cross during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. St. Constantine was the Emperor of Byzantium (272-337).
