Lord God, our Savior! We fall to You with a contrite heart and confess our sins and iniquities, which are the irritation of Your kindness and the refuge of Your generosity. For this reason, Your righteous judgment has come upon us, Lord: strife and disorder have come upon us, murder and bloodshed, enmity and malice have multiplied to the extreme.
But, Most Merciful Lord, look down from Your Holy heights on the tearful prayers of Your poor, sorrowful people, turn Your wrath into mercy and give us help from sorrow. We know that from the years of ancient times in times of temptation our country was saved from destruction only by the faith of Christ, only by prayer and tears of repentance from the wiles and snares of the enemy getting rid of it.
For this reason, in the tenderness of our hearts, we cry out to You: protect our Fatherland even now from the enemies who are destroying it, ignite in our hearts love for Your Holy Church and teach us to stand strong, even to death, for Thy holy faith and for the glory of Thy Holy Name, and thus establish and glorify Thy Church with Thy all-powerful strength and from Deliver from every evil situation.
For those who crucified You, O Lord, and for Your servants to pray for everyone, forgive us, forgive us, do not repay them, O Lord, according to their deeds and wickedness their undertakings do not know what they are doing, but instruct them to live brotherly and virtuously, so that they may turn to You, their Master, and together with the sons of Your Church, glorify You alone in To the Trinity glorified God forever and ever. Amen.
