During this request, pray for every place according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
needs, for example, <strong>the</strong> needs of a monastery situated in <strong>the</strong><br />
wilderness are different <strong>from</strong> those situated on islands or<br />
near <strong>the</strong> sea, as was detailed in <strong>the</strong> Litany of Place in <strong>the</strong><br />
Evening Incense. Respond with <strong>the</strong> congregation, “Lord<br />
have mercy”, for all <strong>the</strong> above mentioned requests.<br />
The priest completes <strong>the</strong> litany by saying, "And those who<br />
are dwelling in <strong>the</strong>m, in God's faith", referring <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Christians dwelling in those places.<br />
This request applies more <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> monks living in <strong>the</strong><br />
wilderness, without whose faith in God and His providence,<br />
and trust in His love, without <strong>the</strong>ir hope in His kingdom<br />
ready for those who struggle in His holy name, <strong>the</strong>y would<br />
not have migrated <strong>to</strong> such remote places, which is away <strong>from</strong><br />
any consolation or comfort; preferring <strong>to</strong> live in asceticism,<br />
spiritual strife and vigil for <strong>the</strong> greatness of <strong>the</strong>ir love <strong>to</strong><br />
Christ <strong>the</strong> King.<br />
During this request, remember my beloved, all <strong>the</strong> monks<br />
living in <strong>the</strong> wilderness, and pray for <strong>the</strong>ir perfection so God<br />
may give <strong>the</strong>m aid, power and vic<strong>to</strong>ry in <strong>the</strong>ir struggle.<br />

Litany of Waters (vegetation and <strong>the</strong> wind)<br />
Every one of <strong>the</strong>se specific fac<strong>to</strong>rs has a time for church<br />
prayers, at <strong>the</strong> end of each of <strong>the</strong>se three prayers <strong>the</strong> priest<br />
completes <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> litany: "Raise <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
measure according <strong>to</strong> Your grace."<br />
