Let Us Pray Unto The Lord! O Merciful, Loving God! by Father Nektarios Serfes Forgive us as we have in our human weakness sinned before Thee, In the merciful slaughter of the night of The beloved family, The Passion bearers Nicholas and Alexandra, And the innocents Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei, Renew in us O' God Thy love and forgiveness, That we may all walk once again on the path of salvation, Lift up Thy hands O God, Against pride, against the things which we have wickedly done in Thy sight, Greet Thy beloved Royal Martyred family within Thy Kingdom on our behalf whom we love, Asking them to intercede and to pray for us, Judge us not O God to whom art the King of ages. And to Whom belongs all Glory, Honor Worship with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Beloved Friends In Christ Our Lord. Please, humbly join with me and with others on this day of Commemoration to humbly pray to the Holy Royal Martyrs of Russia, as we struggle for our salvation. Royal Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth Let us also remember piously that on 18th of July 1998, that also is the commemoration of the Martyrdom of Holy Royal Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the New Martyr Barbara, and those with them. At the same time let us also too remember "forgive" and ask our Gracious Loving God to learn that "love" is our Christian duty. Peace to the Great Soldier of Christ our Lord Tsar Nicholas II and most beloved family! Peace be unto all! I would like to thank Bob Atchison for his permission to use the wedding photo of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra for this web site. Holy Royal Martyrs Of Russia, Pray Unto God For Us!
