We, the children of a great man, Metropolitan Longinus of Bancheny, appeal to you with a big request—save our Father. Don’t judge him.

Our Father does a lot of good for us. He feeds us, gives us something to drink, gives us everything we need.

And most importantly, he gives us love! He teaches us to love God, people, and our native Ukraine!

We bow to you and we ask, we beg: Don’t touch our Father! We love him! For us, he is protection, support, and love. He is the most precious thing we have in this life. We have physical disabilities, but we very good being with him.

Our dear Father, we love and respect you very much, and we want you to always be with us. We pray that God will protect you from all evil!
