On this Father’s Day we ask Almighty God  to bless our fathers and all men of our parish, and grant them the strength necessary to love openly and the courage to honestly confront life’s challenges and uncertainties. We ask God to make all men true icons of His generosity and unconditional love.

We beg our Loving God, to shower His blessings upon all of our living fathers. May they be blessed with health, happiness, good humor, loving children and length of days.

We also ask our Merciful God to grant a blessed repose to all of our deceased fathers and place them in a place of light where there is no pain, sorrow or mourning. May all of our deceased fathers rest in peace.

As we ask God’s blessings upon our fathers and the men of our parish this day, we also ask God to bless us and give us the will to be loving and attentive people who honor our living fathers by being sensitive to their needs and by remembering our deceased fathers by praying for their repose.

Many Years!   Mnohaya Lita!

Eternal Memory!   Вічная пам’ять!
