Great God, O God of our Fathers! Grant
to our nation many good and holy Christian families. Give us fathers who
will loudly and openly confess your holy Gospel and be in Your service.
Give us fathers who will be a good example of Christian life for their
children, true protectors and good leaders in life. Grant us mothers who
will be capable of bringing up their children in a Christian way, and a
help and joy as well as good advisors for their husbands. Grant us
children who will be the pride and joy of their parents and the
splendour of their nation. Almighty God, bless us. Grant us the grace to
faithfully serve You and one day to be granted the eternal reward in
heaven. For You are a good and loving God, and we give glory to You,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever.
Amen.
With Ecclesiastical Approval.

God bless you for making this translation available. During this Year of Metropolitan Andrey, we must do much more of this so that the world would know of this truly great and holy 20th Century Father of the Church.
