The Head of the UGCC recalled the obligation of fasting and prayer for Ukraine

"I noticed that people forget our prayer for Ukraine at 9 each evening.Some dioceses have even forgotten the day of the week which was defined as a day of strict fasting for the Motherland", - the Head of the UGCC.

Let’s recall that in “Appeal” the bishops of the Synod of Bishops of Kyiv-Galician Major Archbishopric of the UGCC give clear instructions concerning the continuation of "this spiritual heroism".

Hierarchs entrust to continue in the parishes, monasteries and seminaries a continuous prayer. All the faithful and people of good will are asked to unite every day at 9 pm in a common prayer for Ukraine (Monday - for the successful service of the President, Government and Parliament of Ukraine; Tuesday - for the enemies: for the conversion of those who pursue and attack us; Wednesday - for Ukrainian army, Thursday - for the law-enforcing authorities and the police; Friday - for the wounded, prisoners, refugees and their families; Saturday - commemoration of the departed, including the fallen soldiers and all innocent victims; Sunday - for the unity and conciliarism of Ukraine).

In addition, the Church announced continuous strict fast in this order: Monday - Archeparchy of Kyiv, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Odesa and Crimea Exarchates; Tuesday - Archeparchy of Lviv, Stryi Diocese; Wednesday - Archeparchy of Ivano-Frankivsk, Kolomiya-Chernivtsi Eparchy; Thursday - Archeparchy of Ternopil, Buchach Eparchy, Sambir-Drohobych Diocese; Friday - Sokal-Zhovkva Eparchy, Lutsk Eparchy. At the end of each Liturgy Bishops call to sing the liturgy lord prayer, "Oh, God Almighty and Only".
