The Ukrainian Council of Churches is calling on all denominations of Ukraine to declare and hold a national fast and prayer in their religious communities with round-the-clock prayer vigils, and active performance of works of charity.
“The Almighty and loving God will always answer the fervent prayer of believers,” concludes the text.
