Powerful words. Thank you for sharing.
Amen to your prayer, norsky. We have many more idols than we realize.
Dear Lord, we beseech Thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !
Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over Your children ! Send forth Your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !
AMEN !
4th Sunday of Great Lent: St John Climacus (of the Ladder)
Commemorated on April 3
Troparion
Dweller of the desert and angel in the body, / you were shown to be a wonderworker, our God-bearing Father John. / You received heavenly gifts through fasting, vigil, and prayer: / healing the sick and the souls of those drawn to you by faith. / Glory to Him who gave you strength. / Glory to Him who granted you a crown. / Glory to Him Who, through you, grants healing to all.
Kontakion
The Lord truly set you on the height of abstinence, / O our instructor and Father John, / as an unerring star, guiding the ends of the earth by your light.
“””””Lord, we ask You to help our nation repent of its sin. Help us to stop denying the sins that we are committing and to confront face to face everything that has drawn us away from You. Show us where we have set up idols and placed them above You. We are in great need of Your guidance, for we have departed from the path You have set before us. Show us how to return to You, Lord-—how to depart from evil and to pursue Your presence, Your truth, and peace.”””””
Amen.
