A Litany for Ukraine

God of Grace and God of Glory
(Voices Together hymnal #716, verse 3)
“Cure thy children’s warring madness; bend our pride to thy control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul.”

A Litany for Ukraine

by Iris de León-Hartshorn, associate executive director, Mennonite Church USA

All:         Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine, 
One:      As they seek refuge from the terrible effects of war.
All:         May they find shelter in God’s arm,
One:      As they try to calm their fears.
All:         May they find comfort in God’s arm,
One:      As they worry about where to find food and shelter.
All:         May they find comfort in God’s arm,
One:      As they witness the death that war brings.
All:         May they find solace in God’s arm,
One:      As they leave their homes behind to find safety.
All:         May they find strength in God’s arm.

One:      Deliver us all from the madness of believing good can come from violence.
All:         God hear our prayer.
One:      Give us the courage to resist the myths of violence.
All:         God hear our prayer.
One:      Forgive us our pride as a super military power.
All:         God hear our prayer.
One:      Give us the compassion that gives birth to generosity and hospitality.
All:         God hear our prayer.
One:      Let us show love and mercy for those fleeing war.
All:         God hear our prayer.
One:      Mold us as a people of peace.
All:         God hear our prayer.
May God hear our prayers and the cry of the Ukrainian people.
