It is the usual practice of our St. Ksenia Sisterhood for the sisters to read the Psalter during Great Lent on behalf of the ill, suffering, and reposed in our parish. This year, with the war in Ukraine, the Sisterhood is broadening its practice and calling all to join them in prayer, for the ill, suffering, and reposed as usual, but also for peace in Ukraine. Please take part in at least one of the calls for prayer below!

ONE – Archbishop Peter has asked that all the faithful of the Mid-American Diocese read this prayer daily and entreat St. Vladimir for peace.

TWO – Metropolitan Onuphry has asked that all the faithful in Ukraine read one chapter from the Gospel each day of Great Lent and make three prostrations before their icons asking for peace in Ukraine and the entire world. Certainly we are all welcome to join our brothers and sisters in Ukraine in this effort!

THREE – Our St. Ksenia Sisterhood offers all the opportunity to join them the reading of the Psalter this Great Lent. Please begin anytime you can – even today. Whenever you start, begin with the first Kathisma of the Psalter and read a Kathisma daily. Or even a “Glory” (1/3 of a Kathisma) daily. But with prayer (see below).
