НЕДІЛЯ ПРО БЛУДНОГО СИНА - 02/15/2025
Продовжуючи готувати нас до Великого посту Св.Церква, як любляча мати,намагається нам допомогти підготуватися до цього важливого духовного періоду. Минулої неділі на богослужінні ми згадували про дві євангельські постаті, одна з яких у пихатості серця вихвалялася перед Богом своїми чеснотами - фарисей, а друга - митар, усвідомивши свій духовний стан, стояла здалеку і оплакувала прожите у беззаконні життя. |

THE PRODICAL SON - 02/15/2025
In today's Gospel lesson we heard the parable about the young son who got tired of his father's surveillance and asked for his portion of the inheritance. After receiving it, he went away into another country where he lived prodigally and spent all his riches. Soon there was famine and the young son did not have anything to eat. He came to his senses and decided to return to his father and ask for forgiveness. The father sees him coming from afar, clothed in rags and weak, is filled with compassion and runs out to meet him, falls on his neck and kisses him. As St. John Chrysostom reminds us...... |

On the Baptism of Christ - 01/19/2025
Christ, then, was born as it were a few days ago — He Whose generation was before all things, sensible and intellectual. Today He is baptized by John that He might cleanse him who was defiled, that He might bring the Spirit from above, and exalt man to heaven, that he who had fallen might be raised up and he who had cast him down might be put to shame. And marvel not if God showed so great earnestness in our cause: for it was with care on the part of him who did us wrong that the plot was laid against us; it is with forethought on the part of our Maker that we are saved. And he, that evil charmer, framing his new device of sin against our race, drew along his serpent train, a disguise worthy of his own intent, entering in his impurity into what was like himself—dwelling, earthly and mundane as he was in will, in that creeping thing. But Christ, the repairer of his evil-doing, assumes manhood in its fullness, and saves man, and becomes the type and figure of us all, to sanctify the first-fruits of every action, and leave to His servants no doubt in their zeal for the tradition. |

Іван Хреститель - Голос Вопіющого в Пустині - 01/19/2025
Сьогодні наша свята Церква прославляє великого праведника-чесного, славного пророка, Предтечу і Хрестителя Господнього Івана, який був великим угодником Божим. Ще перед його народженням з’явився Архангел Гавриїл його батькові Захарії в єрусалимському храмі і сказав , що в нього народиться син, який буде великий в очах Божих. I справді вже при народженні Іванa Хрестителя Господнього діялись чудеса, так що його знайомі і сусіди з великим подивом питали: "Ким буде дитя це?" На це питання дає відповідь сам Господь, коли устами пророка говорить, що Іван є "голос вопіющого в пyстині". |

Understanding the Nativity Icon - 12/28/2024
Orthodox Christians do not celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, we celebrate the Incarnation. What?, you say. What is the Incarnation? This is an important word as it means God becomes Man. This is what we celebrate. The birth of Jesus was that moment in history when God sent His only begotten Son to become like us, taking on human flesh for our healing. This miracle of miracles took place though the ascent of Mary whom we call the Theotokos, Birth-giver of God. God with His divine will became man, taking on a human will in human flesh so Man could unite his human will with God’s divine will. From the time of Adam and Eve, man was separated from God ,unable to follow God’s law. The Incarnation is the beginning of the transformation of mankind so we can be reunited with God. |

Наближається Різдво... - 12/20/2024
Різдво Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, або як ми ще називаємо – Різдвяні свята – знову наближається! Знову настала ця пора року, а з нею і радісні хвилини. Але насправді, що таке є Різдво? Чи це подарунки під ялинкою, різдвяні світла у вікнах, привітальні листівки, вечері з родиною та друзями, сніг на подвір’ї, чи привітання “Веселих свят” тих, хто на вулиці проходить повз нас? Для багатьох людей Різдвяний Піст є часом смутку, тому що вони не мають необхідних коштів для того, щоб купити подарунки для своїх дітей, родичів та друзів. Багато з людей сумують у Різдвяний час коли вони згадують про своїх близьких, які не можуть приїхати додому та святкувати разом з ними. Вечеря на День Подяки для декого на жаль залишається тільки мрією, а не реальністю. |

The Healing of the Ten Lepers - 12/20/2024
For behold, ten lepers met Jesus as He was about to enter a certain city. They met Him outside the city, for those who were considered unclean were not permitted to go into the city. They stood afar off, as if ashamed of their supposed uncleanness, and did not dare to draw near, thinking that Jesus abhorred them as did the others. They lifted up their voices and made supplication. By physical location they were standing afar off, but in their supplication they were near. For the Lord is nigh unto all that call upon Him in truth (Ps. 144:19). And they did not make supplication to Him as to a mere man, but as to One greater than a man. For they called Him Master, meaning Lord, Protector, and Guardian, which is not far from thinking of Him as God. |

What shall I do that I may have eternal life? - 12/13/2024
This is the question that the rich man asked of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ in today’s Gospel lesson. Indeed this is the fundamental question every Christian must ask; for it is the question that shapes our beliefs, relationships, view of the world, our understanding of morality and ultimately our whole way of life. The answer given by the Lord is twofold. First and foremost, Christ emphasizes the importance of keeping the Ten Commandments. In fact, He even goes as far as to go through the commandments, thereby asking the young man - and - us to take inventory of our lives. Are we, Christians living in the 21st century, following the commandments which have sustained the people of God for thousands of years? Does the society we live in abide by these basic principles? Do we as God’s “chosen people”, His “Royal Priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9) help uphold the Commandments, speaking out against the wrongs that we see in the world? |

Що потрібно зробити, щоб мати життя вічне? - 12/13/2024
Такими словами в своїй нагірній проповіді говорить Христос. Той що підійшов до Ісуса, називає Його благим, запитує: “Що потрібно зробити щоб мати життя вічне”. Знаючи людей він показує смирення кажучи. “Чому ти називаєш Мене благим.Ніхто не благий, як тільки один Бог.” Ісус Христос знає хто ми, які думки маємо і скільки віддані Йому. Але Господь хоче показати нам до чого ми прив'язані і що нас тримає. Ісус говорить про заповіді, які має виконати юнак, щоб мати життя вічне. І не тільки йому, але і нас закликає до життя вічного. “Не вбивай, не перелюбствуй, не кради, не лжесвідчи, шануй батька й матір, і люби ближнього твого як самого себе. Юнак говорить, що він все це зберіг з юності.” Що ще не вистачає. “Ісус сказав йому: коли хочеш бути досконалим піди продай добро твоє і роздай убогим і матимеш скарб на небесах, і приходь та йди слідом за Мною.” |

Введення Пресвятої Діви Марії у храм - 11/30/2024
Коли Діві Марії виповнилося три роки, Її благочестиві батьки приготувалися виконати свою обітницю. Вони скликали родичів, запросили ровесниць своєї дочки, одягнули Її якнайкраще і в супроводі народу, співаючи релігійних пісень, повели Її в храм Єрусалимський для посвячення Богові. Її подружки-ровесниці, як і Сама Марія, йшли із запаленими свічками у руках. Назустріч їм з піснями повиходили з храму священики на чолі з первосвящеником. |

Entrance of the Most-Holy Birth-Giver-of-God into the Temple - 11/30/2024
On this day of the feast of the Entrance of the Most-Holy Birthgiver-of-God into the Temple, let’s review the details of this commemoration: Firstly, this feast is not present in the sacred scriptures, but has been preserved and revered by the Holy Church in the liturgy, iconography, and Holy Tradition. Secondly, the entire story is contained in an apocryphal book known as the Proto-Gospel of James, a book which contains this and many other stories about Christ and other biblical characters and saints, yet was never accepted in its totality as an inspired text by the Orthodox Church. |

Проповідь на 22-гу неділю по П'ятидесятниці - 11/20/2024
Дорогі у Христі, як часто ми задаємо самі собі запитання, що мені зробити, щоб унаслідувати Царство Боже? Це є цікаве і важливе запитання, поскільки кожному із нас необхідно знати, що нам робити, щоб спастись.
В євангельському читані від св. ап. Луки (10, 25-37), наш Спаситель ставить питання про наше відношення до всіх, хто нас оточує. Він закликає нас, що ради спасіння ми подивилися навколо себе і задумуючись, зробили щось ДОБРЕ, яке буде нас спрямовувати до вічного життя. В Євангелії говориться про те, як одного разу до Христа приступив один законник, який жив праведно, виконуючи всі приписи закону, задав запитання Ісусу Христу, бажаючи зловити Господа на слові. « Учителю, що мені чинити, щоб життя вічне осягнути?» (Лк.10:25) |

Хвальба - 11/08/2024
"Вернись до дому свого і розкажи, що вчинив тобі Бог." - Так сказав Ісус Христос до оздоровленого біснуватого, який просив Спасителя супроводжувати Його. Син Божий не хоче назвати це оздоровлення Своїм. Добро, що учинив Він цій нещасній людині, не називає Він Своїм, а називає, що те добро створила сила Божа: "… розкажи, що вчинив тобі Бог."
Христос Спаситель, тут на землі, хотів бути зразком для людей. Син Божий в образі смиренного Сина чоловічого хотів дати нам приклад, як ми повинні чинити добро. |

Well, I often wonder why those people, in today Gospel, would ask Jesus Christ to leave their town just after He cast out a legion of demons into a herd of swine. |

Уздоровлення Одержимого Бісами - 10/31/2024
Розповідь євангелиста Луки про чоловіка, який одержимий бісами може показатися нам далекою від нашого повсякденного життя. Проте не випадково, про це зцілення розповідається два рази в церковному колі недільних Євангелій, для того, щоб ще раз нам нагадати про роботу диявола і Господню силу, яка бореться проти всього злого. Апостол Петро застерігає нас, що диявол не спить: “Будьте тверезi, пильнуйте, бо супротивник ваш диявол ходить, рикаючи, наче лев, i шукає, кого б пожерти”. (1Петра 5:8) |

The Widow from the City of Nain - 10/19/2024
In order to reestablish the moral principals of the entire creation and to bring it to its original beauty, a supreme sacrifice was indispensable. However, to accomplish that sacrifice no human being was capable to bring it to completion; therefore, God in His love and compassion toward us was willing to become incarnated for that purpose.
Thus, the Gospel reading which is appointed for this Sunday bears the mark of that act, the act of mercy and compassion, for in the Gospel we read, “…And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow…When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, ‘Do not weep’. Then He came and touched the open bier, and those that carried him stood still. And He said, ‘Young man, I say to you, arise’.” (Lk. 7:11-16) |

Будьте ж милосердні - 10/11/2024
Із євангельських повчань ми знаємо, що потрібно служити Богові, а саме виконувати Його волю та заповіді. Також потрібно любити свого ближнього як самого себе, а саме поводитись з ближнім так, як ми б хотіли, щоб з нами так поводились. І ми повинні дбати про самих себе, про фізичне здоров'я та здоров'я душі.
Якщо б хтось надумав описати про ці три вагомі обов'язки: як виконувати волю Божу та заповіді, як дбати про ближнього, та як дбати про свою душу і тіло, то йому б нехватило сили і терпіння про це писати. |

Покров Пресвятої Богородиці - 10/05/2024
Вшановує Пресвяту Діву Марію й український народ. З того часу, як наш люд став навколішки перед Ісусом Христом, по всій нашій землі гомонить пісня слави й любові також і на честь Христової Матері Марії. Величаючи її, наш народ благає в неї опіки й заступництва в різних потребах цього земного життя. Ми так сердечно вшановуємо Пресвяту Богородицю, бо це зробив насамперед сам Бог. Ще світу не було, а вже Предвічний Господь вибрав Пресвяту Діву Марію на Матір Спасителя. Створив її чистою, обдарував надзвичайними ласками та підвищивши понад усіх людей і ангелів, щоб Вона була першою після Бога. А що Господь від віків постановив, те в свій час сповнилося. Коли ж Бог так прославив Марію, чи не повинні й люди йти за Його почином і прикладом? Коли Пресвята Марія є для Бога наймилішою дочкою, для Божого сина найдорожчою Матір’ю, а для Святого Духа найкращою Святинею, чи ж не повинні й люди величати Пресвяту Діву та прославляти Її щирим серцем як першу після Бога? |

Meditation: Have you ever struggled because your life wasn't going the way you wanted? Do you feel that way right now? To many bills? Not enough money? Or maybe you are stressed because of your constant striving for more and more of the things of this world, or you are in debt up to your eyeballs trying to pay for and maintain those things you have already acquired. Do you spend most of your time focusing on how you will achieve a bigger home, a new car, stretching yourself out for that new flat screen or surround sound system your friend just purchased? |

Тоді Господар цей посилає інших, та з ними вчинили так само навіть гірше. На кінець вирішив послати Сина свого, думаючи що його вони посоромляться. Люди ці думали інакше кажучи, що «це спадкоємець, вб’ємо його і заволодіємо спадщиною» що і зробили. |

Піст - 08/30/2024
“Цей рід виганяється тільки молитвою та постом“ (Мт. 17:21), сказав Ісус батькові після зцілення його сина, коли той пожалівся на учеників Його: “Я приводив його до учеників Твоїх, та вони не змогли зцілити його“ (Мт. 17:16).
Улюблені у Христі, чимало не вірить Ісусовим словам в цьому епізоді Євангелії, мабуть хитають головами та й питають: “Чи людина може удостоїтися в Бога такої сили, щоб це вчинити, коли буде постити, молитися, в церкву ходити, буде прикладом побожності?“ Питання дуже складне. Тут не можна відповісти “так“ або “ні“. Ісус заповів: “Просіть і дасться вам“ (Мт. 7:7); в Бога все є можливим.
Молитвою і постом це можна зробити. Богословська наука голосить, що через піст і молитву доходиться до християнських чеснот, людина збагачується духовно. |

Ходження по воді - 08/23/2024
Христос тільки міг ходити по хвилях морських, бо Він є Владикою сотвореного світу.Але Ап. Петро ходив по воді також, а він є людина. Сьогоднішнє Євангеліє про це докладно оповідає нам. Коли Христос молився, апостоли були в човні і цілу ніч боролися з хвилями та вітром, який кидав їхній човен то в один, то в другий бік. Христос, одначе, не забув про них. Вранці Ісус прямував до них, йдучи по воді, як по сухому. Апостоли злякались, але Христос сказав їм: “Це Я, не бійтесь!” Вони не впізнали Його. Одним з християнських привітань є “Христос посеред нас!” Дійсно, Христос є серед нас, але ми часто проходимо через життєві незгоди, печалі, не зізнаючи Його присутності. |

DORMITION FAST: Why a Fast for Dormition? - 08/23/2024
The Birth-Giver of God (Theotokos), the Virgin Mary, was “blessed amongst women,” and she was chosen “to bear the Savior of our souls.” Orthodox Christians consider her to be the Queen of all the saints and angels. Knowing that she is eternally present at the throne of God interceding for mankind, we pray for her love, guidance, and protection. Every year the Orthodox Church sets aside the first fourteen days of August in honor of the Virgin Mary. This fast period is climaxed on August 28th, when the Church gathers to celebrate the Great Feast of the Formation (Falling-Asleep) of the Birth-Giver of God. |

Send them away! - 08/17/2024
Send them away! This is what Christ’s disciples said that He should do to the multitudes that had been following Him, in today’s Gospel lesson- send them away. Let someone else feed them, see to their needs. And, on the surface, this seems to be a reasonable request, given their situation, their apparent inability to care for all of them. Send them away! But even if this request was made because the disciples thought it would be in the people’s best interest, it was still, as we learn, the wrong attitude, the wrong response to that situation. Yet, knowing this, what we must ask ourselves, brothers and sisters, is how often do we say this very thing? |

Нагодування 5 тисяч - 08/17/2024
Євангельське повчаня, яке читається у восьму неділю по П’ятидесятниці, своїм змістом вражає нас двояко, у двох аспектах. В 13-му вірші 14-го розділу Євангелії від Матвія згадано, що Ісус “відчалив човном у місце пустинне і самотнє. І почувши народ із міст пішов пішки за Ним”. Отже люди так прагнули чути Слово Боже з уст Спасителя, так прагнули отримати благодать Божу від нього на оздоровлення, що шукали за Ним і знайшли Його у місці “пустинному”, де Христос напевно шукав молитовного усамітнення після тяжкої вістки про відрубання голови Іванові Хрестителеві. |

We have met the enemy.... - 08/08/2024
In today’s Gospel Reading, we hear of another example of the Pharisee’s malice toward Jesus- their response to His healing of a demon-possessed mute man. “He casts out demons by the ruler of demons!” In other words, they claim that Christ derives His authority over the demons from Satan. And they say this, even in light of the fact that Christ is “preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Now, they obviously can’t find fault with the actions that He is taking, or their results- curing the blind, healing the sick, and the rest, so what is it, exactly, about Jesus that so makes them want to attack Him? Don’t they get it? How can they not see Him for Who He is? How can they possibly be so far off the mark? How can these Pharisees possibly be so…evil? |

Про важливість тіла людини - 08/02/2024
Коли ми читаємо євангельські уривки про те, як Христос воскресив мертвого або зцілив тіло людини, ми рідко замислюємося про те, що людське тіло означає для Самого Бога, Який створив його з любов'ю для вічного життя, і що воно мало б означати для нас самих. Якщо б наше тіло не було б Богові дороге, так само цінне і ніжно любиме Ним, як і наша вічна душа, Бог не став би зціляти тіло або піклуватися про його вічне життя після воскресіння мертвих. |

Holy Fathers of the first six Ecumenical Councils - 07/26/2024
Today our church commemorates the Holy Fathers of the first six Ecumenical Councils, so it would be beneficial to consider why they are considered so important. On the great day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit fell upon the timid apostles, who then went forth throughout the whole known world preaching the Gospel boldly. Although uneducated, being mostly fishermen, it was the Holy Spirit who overshadowed and prompted them and gave them the eloquence to spread salvation across many lands. St. Paul warned us though that there will be wolves in sheep's clothing, who will pervert and twist Christ's true teaching. In every generation there have arisen both false pastors and people with ears itching for different and novel doctrines. |

Is it normal to be a Christian? Is it normal to be a follower of Christ? You are probably got mixed up thoughts about these questions. On one hand, it seems why it should not be normal. But on the other hand, unfortunately for today’s society it is not normal to be a Christian. It is not popular to live by Christian principals. |

Св. Князь Володимир і Хрещення Русі-України - 07/19/2024
Християнство в Україні розповсюджувалось поступово. На півдні України були грецькі колонії. Наші предки мали з ними торговельні відносини. Руські люди (а по сьогоднішній термінології — українці), тоді ще погани, були благородної вдачі і толерантно відносились до людей котрі приймали християнство. У нас не було переслідування християн, як це було в Римській імперії, де християн жорстоко катували. Про характер наших предків пише візантійський імператор Маврикій (582-602) “Він описує їх як людей волелюбних, хоробрих, несхильних ані до рабства, ані до підлеглості чужій владі, дуже людяних у їхньому відношенні до полонених та чужинців.” |

День Святої Тройці. П’ятидесятниця. - 06/22/2024
Після Вознесіння Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, Його учні згідно настанови свого учителя залишилися у Єрусалимі чекати 10 днів, на що, - вони самі не знали. Ці 10 днів Апостоли провели не марнуючи, вони прожили їх у молитві і пості, як воно і належеться перед тим, коли щось важливе повинно статися у нашому житті. І ось цей день настав: ”Нагло зчинився шум із неба, ніби буря раптова зірвалася, і переповнила ввесь той дім, де сиділи вони. І з’явилися їм язики поділені, немов би огненні, та й на кожному з них по одному осів. Усі ж вони сповнились Духом Святим, і почали говорити іншими мовами, як їм Дух промовляти давав” (Дії 2:2-4). |

Holy Father, keep them in Thy name... - 06/15/2024
“Holy Father, keep them in Thy name which Thou has given Me, in order that they may be one, even as We.” (Jh. 1:12) The Lord is praying to the Father that they, the Apostles, be kept in the name of the Christ Who had become the link, the bridge between God the Father and His creation; in the name of the One that was Sent; in the name of the obedience to the Father; in the name of Love. Jesus Christ was obedient to His father until death, and death on the Cross. That obedience made that name of Jesus the Christ greater than the havens, for everything bows before that ‘Name’ in heave and under the heaven. |

Адже Перший Вселенський Собор відбувся у 325 році, майже 17-ть століть тому. Але він є для нас важливий тому, що цей Собор відстояв у християнському світі головну істину нашої віри, що є осередком нашого спасіння - Божество Господа нашого Ісуса Христа. |

Though I was blind, now I see! - 06/07/2024
During His earthly ministry, Jesus met, spoke with, enlightened, and healed a vast number of people, every single day. As St. John says, if each and every one of His encounters were written down, the world could not contain all of the books that it would require. So why did the Holy Spirit guide the Evangelists to record those specific events, those encounters, which we find in the Gospels? What is it about them that make them somehow special? As most of you probably know, it is because those encounters that are recorded for us are universal. In 2000 years, while our technology and science are exponentially beyond what it was then, people are still people- as a species, we really haven’t changed. And those people about whom we read in Scripture, well, they are us - in some way, they represent all of us, both collectively and personally. And the lessons that their stories impart are just as applicable to us today as they were 2000 years ago. Today’s Reading, that of the Blindman, is a classic example of this. |

Про Жінку-Самарянку. - 05/31/2024
У сьогоднішньому Євангелії ми слухаємо цікаву і глибоку розмову між Ісусом Христом і жінкою-самарянкою. Ця розмова відбувається за містом біля криниці. Ісус Христос, як дійсна криниця, яка має у собі джерело живої води, приходить, сідає біля криниці Якова і чекає на спраглу людину. Розмова відбувається якраз опівдні, коли сонце стоїть в зеніті, коли людина почувається спраглою. І ось Христос сам прийшов до спраглої людини і робить перший крок назустріч їй. |

No water - no life - 05/31/2024
Several years ago, NASA sent a remote-controlled probe to the planet Mars to search for something of great value – not gold, diamonds, or some unknown extraterrestrial element, but water – plain old water. The reason was simple. Based on all the education and scientific experience of the experts, it was agreed that life, in any form we understand it, could not exist without water. No water, no life. |

Гoспoдь, який дає нам життя i все, щo ми прoсимo у нього, вимагає від нас вiдкрити нашi серця у любoвi дo ближньoгo, у пoкаяннi, i дoдержаннi Йoгo запoвiдей. |

THE SUNDAY OF THE PARALYTIC - 05/24/2024
During the period from Pascha to Pentecost, we can’t help but notice the matching of stories between the Gospel and the life of the early Church. This is especially true when we compare Luke and Acts, since they are considered two volumes of a set. The Gospel relates the life of Christ in the flesh, while Acts relates the story of the Risen Christ at work in the church. But we also see this matching in John’s Gospel and Acts, the two texts read closely during this period. |

Неділя жінок – мироносиць - 05/17/2024
Вони рано-вранці, купивши пахощі, спішать до гробу, в якому спочив Ісус. Мироносиці добре знають, що гріб Ісуса охороняють воїни, що до гробу заборонено наближатися, але вони йдуть, наперекір усьому, з твердою вірою і надією, що здійснять свій намір. Вони йдуть за покликом сердець, в яких живе щира, самовіддана любов до Ісуса, а любов не знає страху, не боїться погроз, перепон — любов усе перемагає, бо де є любов, там є Бог. |

SUNDAY OF THE MYRRH-BEARERS - 05/17/2024
In today’s Gospel we hear of three women who were approaching the tomb of their Master, their Teacher and their Friend. Their hearts were heavy and their steps labored. How could this have happened? It was only days before that they were with Him as He taught and preached. No person had ever preached as He did; no one performed the great miracles that He accomplished. Surely He was the One; the Son of God, the Messiah! |

Do not be unbelieving, but believing! - 05/08/2024
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
Though it hasn't been heard in common parlance lately, many years ago, the term 'Doubting Thomas' was used to describe someone who was of a contrarian, doubting nature. 'I doubt it' was their catchphrase to any claim or statement that, at least to their ears, sounded incredulous. |

Hosanna in the Highest—or Hypocracy in the Highest? - 04/28/2024
Two millennia ago, the residents of Jerusalem welcomed Christ as the savior of the Jewish people—a worldly ruler who would free them from the yoke of the Roman empire. Their Messiah would be a king in the conventional sense—with royal purple robes, a crown encrusted with precious stones, a scepter to show his earthly position, and a sword to lead his armies into battle and victory over all who would oppress his people. |

Lessons for the “Righteous” from St. Mary of Egypt and Abba Zosima - 04/19/2024
Organized religion is often the target of heavy criticism and censure in our modern world. In my own lifetime, I have seen a world where clergy and religious organizations have gone from being acceptable and respected parts of society to being treated on a spectrum that ranges from irrelevant to unspeakable and perhaps even contemptible or evil. For example, if one was to open the internal website of one’s place of employment, one might see the following prohibition on topics which one may not post or blog. |

Преподобна Марія Єгипетська - 04/19/2024
Сьогодні ми згадуємо преподобну Марію, через те що вона через молитву і пожертву до Бога вимолила для себе Царство Небесне. Ці бажання і віра оправдали її надії. Хто така праведна Марія Єгипетська, це звичайна жінка того часу, маємо на увазі часи четвертого – п’ятого століття нової ери. Зайшовши одного разу в Храм Божий, вона відчула, що може в своїм житті щось змінити на краще, із Божою поміччю отримати Царство Небесне. Вона відчула, що на даний час вона є загублена і немає ніякої цінності, ні тілесної, ні духовної, ні віри Ісуса Христа. І тоді вона вирішила змінити своє життя і посвятити його для спасіння своєї душі. |

Преподобного Іоанна Ліствичника - 04/12/2024
Після Хрестопоклонної Неділі - неділя преподобного Іоанна Ліствичника. Піст досягає вершини. Чи стануть слова покаяння, які ми почуємо в Церкві, нашими власними словами? Сьогоднішнє Євангліє ще раз нагадує нам словами евангелиста Марка про піст та молитву,про віру-щиру та сердечну не лицемірну віру. Хворий отрок одержимий духом німим. Його батько в розпачі. Він зіткнувся з безсиллям учнів. І він не цілком впевнений в силі Учителя. «Якщо що можеш, зглянься і допоможи нам», - говорить він Христу, наполовину вірячи й наполовину сумніваючись. |

Fourth Sunday of Great Lent - 04/12/2024
“O Lord, I believe; Help my unbelief.” (Mark 9: 24), prays the man in today’s Gospel who had asked Jesus to heal his son possessed by a demon. The Apostles, too, ask Jesus to help their unbelief “Lord, Increase our faith.” (Luke 17:5) To both Jesus responds that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed (about half the size of a poppy seed) you can accomplish miraculous results with only a word, even moving mountains or pulling a huge tree out by its roots and tossing it into the sea. |

Хресту Твоєму поклоняємся, Владико! - 04/04/2024
В третю неділю святого великого посту Церква вшановує святий Хрест, на якому був розп'ятий Господь наш Ісус Христос. Від цього дійства та від євангельського читання цієї неділі походить і назва цієї неділі серед неділь великого посту - неділя Хрестопоклонна. Власне, ця неділя є серединою посту і Святий Животворчий Хрест Господній вшановується в цей час середпістя щоб укріпити нас в нашій великопісній духовній мандрівці, щоб показати нашому духовному зору знаряддя перемоги життя над смертю... Євангельське читання цієї неділі нагадує нам про ще один важливий аспект нашого життя, про необхідність нести свій власний хрест всім тим, хто прагне йти вслід за Господом: "Коли хоче хто йти вслід за Мною, хай зречеться самого себе, і хай візьме свого хреста та й за Мною йде!" (Мр. 8,34) |

Перебуваючи в часі великого посту, ідучи дорогою духовного подвигу, для всіх нас невід'ємною частиною нашого життя є очищення, для того, щоб підготовити себе до великого свята - Воскресіння Господнього. Розуміючи піст - як стримання, достоїнство людини володіти собою, перемагати зло в самому собі, перемагати свої недобрі звички та пристрасті. |

Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee - 02/24/2024
In my opinion this is one of the most wonderful Sundays of the year. The book known as the Triodion is used today for the first time as we approach Great and Holy Lent – the time when we begin to prepare ourselves for the annual season of fasting arid repentance. Hopefully we have grown spiritually during the past year and we have attained a deeper understanding of what a wondrous thing repentance truly is. Repentance is not a dark and gloomy pursuit – the process is joyous, exciting and awe-inspiring as we heal, transform and elevate our minds and souls. |

The prescribed Gospel reading for this Sunday is from St. Matthew, chapter 15, verses 21 through 28, where-in we read and hear of an encounter between our Lord and a woman of Canaan. Within this brief Gospel passage, the faith of a Gentile and Jesus’ ultimate gracious response is revealed to us. |

«Покайтеся, бо наблизилось Царство Небесне» - 01/21/2024
Після Святого Хрещення Ісус Христос, почав навчати і проповідувати у Галілеї, серед поган. Першими словами Його проповіді були: «Покайтеся, бо наблизилось Царство Небесне» (Мт. 4,17). Ісус звертається до нас. Коли ми в Нього охрестилися, то одягнулися в Нього, «зодягнулися у світло» (Гал. 3, 27), Його світло, разом з Отцем, Який є джерелом світла та Його Духом істини, що світить для нас. |

Stand Up Straight! - 12/05/2023
Our life gets bent over by the weight and strain of all the difficulties that we carry. We get bent over emotionally by the pressures of work and the strain of financial problems, by the worries of caring for our families, loved ones, and friends. Every day in our life we face weakness, and we must turn to Jesus for help and strength. He is always waiting for us. Although, sometimes it feels that He is not listening to our prayers, and we don’t get what we want, but God knows what we need and when we need it. We just need to keep praying and trusting God. |

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed - 11/11/2023
The reading from the Gospel according to St. Matthew for the 5th Sunday after Pentecost seems very familiar because the same story in the Gospel according to St. Luke is chanted on the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost. It is often referred to as “The Pigs Gospel.” To modern day readers of the New Testament, it seems a rather innocuous episode in the life of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ. Why did our Church Fathers consider this episode so important that it was assigned to be chanted on two different Sundays during the liturgical year? |

The Rich and Lazarus - 11/03/2023
Today’s Gospel lesson gives us instruction for our current everyday lives, as well as for our eternal life with God. It shows us that appearances can be deceiving. Rich people would often justify themselves by saying that God was rewarding them for their life of good deeds. Thus when some misfortune or evil occurred in other peoples’ lives, it was believed that they must have done something wrong before God, in order to deserve such punishment from Him. Thus the rich were God’s favorites, and everyone else got what they deserved. This understanding of things served well to make leaders and rulers pleased with their lot in life. |

Убогий Лазар - 11/03/2023
У притчі про багача і Лазаря Ісус Христос коротко передає тимчасову і вічну долю двох осіб: вбогого Лазаря і безтурботного багача. Як виглядало життя цих двох людей на землі? Багач одягався в одежі з дорогих тканин і «бенкетував щодня розкішно» зі своїми приятелями. Він не думав про Бога, про безсмертну душу, про відповідь на Божому суді, про вічне життя. Він безтурботно насолоджувався благами цього світу. |

Господь наш Ісус Христос знову зібравши багато людей навколо Себе, повчає їх притчею про сівача, який вийшов щоб посіяти зерно своє. Святі апостоли не зрозумівши Божественного вчення, просять Христа щоб Він пояснив їм її значення. Тоді Ісус пояснив її так. “Ось що означає ця притча: Зерно-це Боже Слово. А котрі край дороги, - це ті. Хто слухає, але потім приходить диявол, і забирає слово з їхнього серця, щоб не ввірували й не спаслися вони. А що на кам'янистому грунті,- це ті, хто тільки почує, то слово приймає з радістю; та кореня не мають вони, вірують дочасно, - і за час випробовання відпадають. А що впало між терен, - це ті, хто слухає слово, але, ходячи, бувають придушені клопотами розкошами, - і плоду вони не дають. А те, що добрій землі, - це оті, хто як слово почує, береже його в щирому й доброму серці, - і плід приносять вони в терпеливості”. (Лк. 8, 11-15). |

On September 27th, the Church celebrates the feast of the Elevation of the Holy Cross.

Parable of the Talents - 09/23/2023
Oftentimes, especially during hard economic times, a question is raised by some about inequality of material possessions between people, and whether wealth should be redistributed in some fair fashion. On the other hand, some are wondering whether able but idle people already get more than they deserve. The Parable of the Talents gives us a perspective that helps us to put us on the right side of those issues. |

Багато покликаних, але мало вибраних - 09/06/2023
Дорогі у Христі, всі ми покликані до Царства Божого, яке, за словом Спасителя, подібне до весільного бенкету. В Євангельській притчі, яка читається у чотирнадцяту неділю після Святої Тройці, нам слід розуміти, що цар, який зробив весілля своєму синові - це Бог Отець, Творець неба і землі. Царський син - це Єдинородний Його Син Ісус Христос, а наречена - Церква, що об’єднує всіх вірних. Святий апостол Павло говорить : «заручив бо я вас одному чоловікові, щоб Христові привести вас чистою дівою» (2Кор. 11,2). Під весільним бенкетом слід розуміти Царство Боже, в якому всі віруючі назавжди з’єднуються з Ісусом Христом. |

The Guests at the Marriage Feast - 09/06/2023
The 14th Sunday after Pentecost The king gave a marriage feast for his son. This requires no particular explanation; it is normal for a father to give a marriage feast for his son (the modern American custom of the bride’s family giving the wedding reception is relatively recent). But, when the quests were notified to come, they did not. Even today this would be a shocking insult; no polite person accepts a dinner invitation, even for a less formal occasion than a married feast, and then refuses to attend. And no prudent person would insult the king, of all people, so outrageously. |

Земне Багатство - 08/26/2023
Сьогоднішнє Євангельське читання має справу з одним з найбільш чутливих, делікатних і в той самий час, з одним з найважливіших питань пов'язаних з духовним життям кожної віручої людини. Це питання - є питанням нашого ставлення до земних багатств. Правильне розуміння та належне відношення до земних багатств має настільки важливе духовне значення, що одна шоста всіх Христових повчань, та третина всіх Його притч пов'язана з цим питанням. |

Dormition of the Mother of God - 08/26/2023
I was told the story of an old peasant woman. When she was younger she lost her only son, and only child. He was killed in the Second World War. Her neighbours, remembering she had almost idolized the child, thought that she would be inconsolable, and they were astonished when she adopted another son. They were still more astonished because he was a little black boy. She gave him everything that her son had owned. There was no doubt of her love for him. There could be none for those who saw her face, weather-beaten and lined, marked and sealed with sorrow, and yet shining with quiet happiness. |

Безжалісний слуга - 08/17/2023
Сьогодні із Євангелія ми чули притчу про милосердного царя і безжалісного слугу. Цю притчу Христос сказав у відповідь на питання апостола Петра: скільки разів маємо прощати, коли прогрішить брат мій супроти мене? Може до семи разів? Христос йому відповів: Не кажу тобі до семи, але до сімдесяти разів по семи (Матв. 18 21-22). |

The Transfiguration of Mankind - 08/17/2023
“After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.” (St. Mark 9.2-4) When Moses and Elijah were with Jesus during His transfiguration on Mount Tabor, they had, in a very real sense, already been transfigured – Moses on Mount Sinai and Elijah in the fiery chariot. Nor were they alone in the changing of their appearances. |

Vacation from God? - 06/29/2023
Ah, summertime! Each of us looks forward to the time of year where we get a break from our daily work and school routine.
In the United States, we call it vacation. Other countries call it holiday. Irrelevant of the name, it brings images of leisure time, travel, friends, family, and sometimes adventure.
Whether it is a trip to the shore, a cabin in the mountains, a tent in a park, a luxury hotel, or a cruise on the open seas, we all need a break from our normal routine to recharge our personal batteries. As each of us is different, we all have our own idea of what constitutes the best use of our time away from the office or the classroom. |

Зцілення сотникового слуги - 06/29/2023
“Господи, я не вартий, щоб Ти увійшов під мою покрівлю; скажи тільки слово, то й одужає хлопець мій”,- так сказав римський сотник до Ісуса Христа, коли Господь хотів піти оздоровити його слугу. Слова знамениті – повні покори та найглибшої віри. Ці слова говорить сотник римського війська, найкращого, найсильнішого в світі у той час. Сотник цей міг би дуже гордитися своїм становищем і вважати, що це він робить приємність для галилейського Учителя, запрошуючи Його у свій дім. Та він у душі пізнав, що це Божий Посланець, перед Яким кожна людина повинна схилитися з найбільшою покорою та смиренністю. |

Шукайте Царства Небесного - 06/22/2023
Епіцентром сьогоднішньої Євангелії є людська проникливість базована на розум. Євангелія починається словами: “Око то світильник для тіла”. Тут не йдеться про наше фізичне око, а про духовне око, яке називається “ноус” (з грецької мови) або мудрість душі. Іоан Дамаскин говорить, що “ноус” не є предмет який існує окремо від душі, тому що є найсвітла/чистіша частина душі. Ця свята мудрість народжує важливий елемент людського існування, а саме відповідальність. Іншими словами відповідальність є результат здорової душі. Що це означає? |

Вірою царства вони перемагали - 06/15/2023
Друга неділя після Зелених свят присвячується всім святим, що в землі українській прославилися, всім тим від віку померлим, що своїм життям угодили Богові. Душі їхні перейшли до Царства Небесного і в теперішній час своїми молитвами для нас випрошують Божу ласку.
Кожний народ має своїх видатних заслужених мужів, яким віддає пошану, ставить сучасникам в приклад для наслідування. Кожному українцеві відомі такі імена, як свята княгиня Ольга та Володимир, Ярослав Мудрий, Іван Мазепа чи Тарас Шевченко - це ті світочі церковного і суспільно-політичного життя української держави, які формували нашу самобутність . В тисячолітній історії таких людей було багато. |

A fountain of water springing up into everlasting life - 05/13/2023
Today, on the 5th Sunday of Pascha, the Church celebrates the memory of the Samaritan Woman, who, although unnamed in Holy Scripture, is known to the Church as being St. Photini. And while I usually point out that each Sunday Gospel Reading contains many things for us to learn, I believe that this particular Reading has as much, if not more, than any of the others. It is so full of information, of theology, of lessons for us, about how God wants us to live. Consider, this morning, for example, the manner in which St. Photini went from seeing Jesus as simply a stranger, and a Jew, to seeing Him as a prophet, and then recognizing that, indeed, He is the Christ, the Chosen One of God. And with this new-found knowledge, she rushed back to the people of her village, to say: Come! Listen to One Who has spoken as no-one else has ever spoken, One Who, without hearing a word from my lips has seen into the depth of my heart, into the darkness of my life, has seen and known everything. |

St. Mary of Egypt - 04/01/2023
“You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;” Christ admonishes His disciples. When in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays, “let this cup pass from me…” Let me avoid this suffering. His human will is fearful of the pain which He will endure and this is the cup that the disciples will share. All but one of the disciples, all but the beloved Saint John, met their end in the death of martyrdom. |

Благовіщення Пресвятої Богородиці - 04/01/2023
Святе Передання та наші богослужбові тексти розповідають, що Пречиста Діва Марія в трьохрічному віці була віддана на служіння при єрусалимському храмі. Згідно іудейського закону, коли ці дівчата-служниці ставали повнолітніми і вже не мали права постійно находитись та прислуговувати у храмі, то вони могли вийти заміж та влаштовувати своє особисте життя. У випадку з Дівою Марією це питання полагоджували служителі єрусалимського храму, бо рідні батьки Її Йоаким та Анна давно вже померли. Бачачи побожність юної Марії та знаючи про Її прагнення до чистого та цнотливого життя, священики не видали юну Марію заміж в повному сенсі цього слова, але тільки заручили Її з пристарілим восьмидесятилітнім старцем Йосипом. Юна Діва Марія повинна була доглядати та допомагати старцю Йосипу в його старості. Треба теж нам пам'ятати, що в тогочасному суспільстві заручення було тільки першим юридичним кроком до одруження, декларацією наміру одружитися, але не одруженням в повному сенсі цього слова. |

The Second Sunday of Great Lent – St. Gregory Palamas - 03/10/2023
The procession of icons during Sunday of Orthodoxy Vespers is one of the most memorable events of the entire Liturgical year, as the holy icons we normally gaze upon from afar are brought into our midst reaffirming the proclamation of the 7th Ecumenical Council. Like many of the Church's teachings, there is a significance to the timing of this commemoration and also different levels of understanding: on one hand we have the definitive historical context, but there is also practical reason that can benefit us every day during Lent. Last Sunday we venerated the likeness of the saints who are to be our models over the course of the Great Fast and beyond. Our re-dedication to a spiritual life and a more Godlike existence is made possible by embracing the lessons these saints taught. |

Adam’s Lament - Our Lament - 02/23/2023
Today, the last Sunday before Great Lent begins, the Church focuses on 2 separate, yet related, themes, the first of which is the commemoration of the casting out, or expulsion, of Adam and Eve from Paradise. As we heard in one of the hymns of Great Vespers last night, “Adam sat before Paradise, and, lamenting his nakedness, he wept: Woe is me! By evil deceit was I persuaded and led astray, and now I am in exile from glory....” |

Last Judgment - 02/16/2023
In his homily on the Last Judgment, St. Gregory of Nyssa asks “why would God set standards of charity for entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven?” We need to know the answer. Why have conditions at all? Isn’t God’s love for us unconditional? Hasn’t He taught us that forgiveness and mercy are expressions of His will? How can there be a Judgment at all if it really is God’s will that “all men be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4)? |

Неділя про Закхея - 01/26/2023
У сьогоднішньому Євангелії ми чули про Ісуса що проходив через Єрихон по дорозі до Єрусалиму. Якщо б ідея цього уривку була застосована у якійсь історії чи поемі то вона б не привернула нашу увагу. Але в Біблії кожне слово має своє значення і зв'язок. Я буду зосереджуватися на сьогоднішньому Євангелії і покажу вам глибше значення цього уривку з Біблії і як воно може служити нам за приклад. |

Theophany - 01/18/2023
Theophany is one of the most important feast days in the Orthodox Church along with Easter, Pentecost and Christmas. Theophany commemorates the event of Jesus’ baptism. According to the Gospels, when Jesus came to be baptized heaven opened, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove and God the Father by His heavenly voice gave witness that Jesus was His beloved Son. Jesus’ baptism signified not only His own divine identity as Son of God but also disclosed the glory of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Thus, along with the themes of the sanctification of the waters, purification from sin and renewal, Theophany also celebrates the revelation of God to the world. “Theophany” means divine manifestation – the manifestation of God to the world as Trinity, the three great Lights of Father, Son and Spirit, one in essence and glory. |

David the King, Joseph the Betrothed and James, the Brother of the Lord - 01/12/2023
The Birth of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ in the Flesh is celebrated for 8 days, and on the Sunday after the Nativity, the Church celebrates in particular the memory of the Holy Righteous Ones: David the King, Joseph the Betrothed and James, the Brother of the Lord. The Orthodox Church draws our attention on this Sunday after the Nativity of Our Lord, as it does for all important feasts, to the lesser characters who are involved in the meaning of the feast. This happens twice during the eight-day Nativity celebration: The day after the Nativity when we gather to commemorate the Holy Birthgiver-of-God, and on this Sunday following the feast. |

The genealogy of Jesus Christ - 01/01/2023
On this, the Sunday before the Nativity, the Church prescribes the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. The second half of the reading is the nativity story. Joseph is betrothed to Mary, but she is found to be with child, and so his marriage to her remains a secret until after the birth. It is the story we all know; the story we have heard every year, all of our lives. |

How to understand suffering - 12/08/2022
There are several passages in the New Testament where we hear of the people suffering for an incomprehensibly long period of time - in fact three of them are part of the regular cycle of readings which are taken on Sunday, including the 'Man Born Blind', the 'Woman with the Hemorrhage' (38 years) and today's story of the woman made infirm by a demonic spirit for eighteen years.

The Good Samaritan - 11/25/2022
In today's Gospel, Jesus gives us the straightforward direction about how we may attain to eternal life. He sums it up in the quotation "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. The duty towards God is quite clearly set forth, but to be explicitly clear, who then is one's neighbor? The parable of the Good Samaritan is meant to be an eminent explication which no one could misconstrue. The priest and the Levite, who consciously evade any contact with the man who had been mugged and left for dead, were consciously chosen as types, who should have taken a positive action towards the victim. |

Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus - 11/04/2022
The rich man descends from luxury to suffering, while Lazarus is promoted from pain to Blessedness. In this life Lazarus lies at the gate. In Greek it suggests Lazarus is “thrown” or “dumped” there affording the rich man to help him but he doesn’t. In today’s Gospel, Lazarus does not blame anyone for his poverty and misery. He certainly doesn’t blame God for his situation. He doesn’t blame the rich man for his mean spirit. Thus, due to his humility he went to heaven, to the bosom of Abraham. |

The Parable of the Sower - 10/27/2022
The parable for today is the parable of the sower. In our lifetimes, many, if not most, of us have not actually seen a farmer walking across his plowed field and manually throwing seed in order to plant his next crop. As a result of industrialization, scientific advances and technological improvements, most farming in our time and place, is done by large conglomerates with highly advanced machinery and techniques. Mom and pop farms are disappearing just like mom and pop stores. But the concept is simple enough for most of us to understand and identify with. |

Неділя Отців Сьомого Вселенського Собору - 10/22/2022
В жовтні місяці в неділю найближчу до 24 жовтня дорогі брати і сестри, Церква відзначає пам'ять Святих Отців 7-го Вселенського Собору. У різний час протягом року згадуються святі отці інших шести Вселенських Соборів. Церква ухвалила поминати Вселенські Собори в першу чергу заради того, щоб віддати належну честь світлим умам святих отців, які, керовані Духом Святим, так старанно потрудилися для очищення Церкви від злобливих єресей і для відновлення істини церковних догматів. Але це не єдина причина. Нам вкрай важливо не забувати праці Вселенських Соборів ще й тому, що всі єресі, ретельно розглянуті на соборах, хоча і були засуджені святими отцями, але не були зжиті з церковного життя. |

Таланти... - 09/29/2022
Притча про таланти була сказана Ісусом Христом в Страсну Середу на Єлеонській горі. Звичайно Христос проповідував людям, але в цьому випадку Він навчав тільки апостолів.
Оливна гора є найвища гора в Юдеї. З цієї гори було прекрасно видно увесь Єрусалим. З вершини гори було видно Червоне море. Оливна гора знаходиться на схід від Єрусалиму на віддаль ходьби суботнього дня. В суботу юдеям можна було пройти не більше як дві тисячі кроків, що приблизно рівняється одній милі. Багато важливих подій у Новому Заповіті відбувалися на горі або внизу гори. |

Щo oзначає:” Вoзлюби Господа Бога свого всім серцем своїм, і всією душею своєю, і всією своєю думкою”. В цих слoвах вказується нам любити Бoга не тiльки oднiєю частинoю душi, але всiєю свoєю iстoтoю. Всi нашi здiбнoстi, якими oбдарoвує нас Гoспoдь, ми пoвиннi направляти дo Ньoгo, щoб вoни прoсвiтилися любoв’ю дo Бoга. Гoспoдь є наш Твoрець, Вiн дарував для кoжнoгo з нас найбiльше блаженствo – життя, Вiн oбдарoвує нас рiзними здiбнoстями, через якi ми пiзнаємo та вiдчуваємo дивну красoту всiєï вселеннoï. Вiн Крoв’ю Свoгo Сина, цiнoю хресних страждань викупив нашi грiхи, вiдкрив нам Царствo Небесне. Вiн є Справедливий i дає кoжнoму iз нас пo нашим заслугам. Ми, християни, Йoгo дiти, є дoрoгi i любi для Ньoгo, яким Вiн завжди бажає дoбра i душевнoгo спасiння. Як дoбрий Батькo, Гoспoдь наказує нам, щoб ми завжди жили в спoкoï та згoдi, любили oднi oдних i кoли є пoтреба в дoпoмoзi, дoпoмагали oднi oдним. На превеликий жаль, цьoгo не вистачає нам, не тiльки у свiтi, але i у наших рoдинах. |

Herod’s Fear - 09/10/2022
Today the Church commemorates the Beheading of St. John the Forerunner- one of very few Feasts in the course of the Liturgical Year upon which we fast (another, of course, being the Elevation of the Holy Cross in September). Now, the person known as Herod about whom we hear in today’s Gospel Reading is actually one of the sons of Herod the Great, the king who murdered 14,000 male babies and young children in and around Palestine at the time of Jesus’ birth. However, as this was all inside the limits of the Roman Empire, any king, or ruler, was appointed by Rome- it was not a hereditary position. So, while his father had been king, this particular Herod was actually a governor, and not royalty, although he was raised as though he were. And, because his father, in his position as king, had accumulated vast wealth, Herod, now a grown man and having inherited a portion of his father’s wealth, could afford to set himself up and live like a prince. He had multiple palaces, many servants, and a small army in his employ. |

What Good Thing Must We Do To Get Eternal Life? - 09/01/2022
Within our Ukrainian Orthodox parishes in this country we find so many that have parents, grandparents; or both, who have immigrated to the United States. They came to a land they lovingly called America the beautiful and America the richest nation on earth. They passed down to their children and grandchildren their strong work ethic, that in order to be successful; you must work hard and earn it yourself. |

Історичні свідчення про Святкування Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці - 08/25/2022
Урочисте святкування Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці 15(28) серпня встановлено за царювання благочестивого царя Маврикія.
Існує, достойний віри, переказ про те, що патріарх єрусалимський Ювеналій стверджував перед імператором Маркіяном (450-457р) достовірність розповсюджених на той час переказів про чудесне взяття Богоматері на небо. Він навіть прислав до Царгороду погребальні пелени Богородиці, які цариця Пульхерія положила в побудованому нею храмі Богоматері у Влахерні на початку царювання Маркіяна. Це передання про патріарха Ювеналія записане 2-го липня в місяцеслові імператора Василія 10 століття, автор якого, якщо не сам імператор, то житель Царгороду, без сумніву знав на основі достовірних джерел про погребальні пелени у Влахернському храмі. |

Reflection on Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos - 08/25/2022
Why the Holy Church gives such unprecedented attention to the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos and ever-virgin Mary? But it is not only Dormition church always glorifying her in a way as no other righteous person or saint. Without any doubt it is because she is Mother of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. This is why throughout the life of the Theotokos we are witnessing constant heavenly presence; her earthly life was directed to heavenly life. As a child she went to the temple, heaven on earth, she also was visited by Angel. Her knowledge of God and His Kingdom made it possible for her to accept words of an Angel and act according to God’s will. And as she was carrying in her womb Son of God she herself became part of Heaven and Heavenly Kingdom. And from that time on all her thoughts and all her existence was surrounded only by Heavenly presence. She knew her Son only as she could, and no one else. It was given to her to be Living Altar of the Son of God. |

In this week’s Gospel lesson we find the Disciples of our Lord trapped in a storm. They find themselves in that storm because they have been commanded by the Lord to cross the Sea of Galilee. These men are following the will of the Lord and yet, we see them struggling against the storm. Have not we found ourselves in that place also? Have not we found ourselves in life’s storms and no matter how hard we try, no matter what we do; it seems that we cannot make it through? |

Moving on to today’s meditation, St Olha is distant from us in time but no less an example of holiness both aspired to and achieved in this life. Her name means “holy,” and presumably she possessed insight, depth, and a sober mind. Olha’s husband Prince Igor was killed in battle in 945, and Olha took over governance with firm hands, instituting many improvements through building and organization across the realm, elevating the culture of her time. |

The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul: A Lesson for Healing the Divisions among Us - 07/08/2022
While we may be surprised to see such behavior among Christians, it is nothing new. In fact, Christians have even gone so far as to claim patrons from among the saints – and even Christ Himself - as proponents of their fallen notions. Let me give you an example from today's feast. One of the things that created divisions (and eventual schism) within the Church was an argument over who had the power to decide matters of faith and direction. The Romans, seeking to bolster the centrality and power of their pope, turned Saint Peter into the patron of their cause, reading into his life proof that their position on (Roman) Papal Primacy was the only correct and natural one. When we read such claims, we learn more about Roman Catholic doctrine and its defenders than we do about the actual life and ministry of St. Peter. He was clearly the “first among equals”, but the rock of his confession and the keys to the kingdom were not uniquely his, but the salvific witness and ministry of the Church. |

ST. JOHN OF THE LADDER - 03/29/2022
This is a difficult Sunday for Orthodox Christians. Not as difficult as St. Mary of Egypt, perhaps, but nonetheless a day that convicts us and confronts us with our Lenten practice. Let’s face it: many Orthodox are exceedingly lax in Lenten disciplines. Laziness may be the heart of the problem, and we should not let ourselves off the hook too easily, but it is not the sole reason. |

Ось ми знаходимося в середині Великого посту. Кожна людина зазвичай дуже ревно розпочинає піст. Перші два тижні ми наполегливо змагаємося зі своїми пристрастями, але коли проминає час, ми знесилюємося. Дещо про такі людські немочі знає і Церква, тому в цю неділю вона ставить нам за взірець Ісуса Христа, Який був розп'ятий на хресті. |

Останній або Страшний Суд - 02/25/2022
Повчання про Страшний або Останній суд було сказано Ісусом Христом декілька днів до розп'яття. Бог створив наших прапредків Адама і Єву і вони жили в раю. “І створив Бог Людину за образом Своїм, за образом Божим створив її; чоловіка і жінку створив їх” (Буття 1, 27). Бог приходив до Адама і Єви і з ними говорив. Бог створив людей для вічного життя. По намові диявола, Адам і Єва з’їли з дерева пізнання добра і зла, що було заборонено Богом. Вони згрішили, тобто порушили заповідь Божу. Адам і Єва пізнали зло і стали смертними людьми. Вони в собі знівечивши подобу Божу і за це були вигнані з раю. |

Свято Покрова Пресвятої Богородиці - 10/13/2021
Поміж Богородичними cвятами нашого церковного року на особливу увагу заслуговує свято Покрова Пресвятої Богородиці. Культ Божої Матері, як Покровительки нашого народу, тягнеться золотою ниткою від княжих часів аж по сьогодні. Секрет того постійного, улюбленого й ревного культу Богоматері як Покровительки, лежить, мабуть, в тому, що тут ідеться не про земне, людське, але небесне й могутнє заступництво. А такого заступництва й опіки хоче кожна людина, родина й народ. Тому свято Покрова завжди було і є для нашого українського народу днем великого вияву любові і вдячності для Пресвятої Богородиці та днем радісної прослави і звеличення її покрова й заступництва. |

Protection of the Mother of God - 10/13/2021
Early one morning, two sisters were getting ready for school, as one sister walked out of her room with one pillow on her back and one pillow on her chest. Her sister asked, “why do you have pillows on you?” “Well,” she said, “the pillow on my chest is to protect from all the boys that will break my heart. And the pillow on my back is to protect me from all the friends that will stab me in the back." |

Люби свого ближнього, як самого себе - 10/01/2021
Яка мета Закону Божого? Фарисеї пишалися із знання Закону Божого і присвячували багато часу для виконання всіх його традицій та ритуалів. Вони майже все своє життя проводили вивчаючи 616 заповідей Старого Заповіту, а також численних равинських коментарів. Вони перевірили Ісуса Христа, чи і Він правильно розуміє Закон Божий, так як вони його розуміють.
Але Ісус вразив їх своєю глибокою простотою, майстерністю знання Закону Божого і його ціллю, до цього рівня, що як закінчує Євангелист Матвій: “ніхто не спромігся відповісти Йому ані слова... І ніхто з того дня не наважувався більш питати Його.” |

A Merciless Servant - 09/01/2021
In today’s Gospel lesson we heard the parable about the merciful king and a merciless servant.

As many as seven times?” I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.” (Mt. 18:21). |

Читаючи сьогодні притчу Христа, в якій Він уподібнює Царство Небесне пану, що захотів розрахуватися з рабами своїми — боржниками, ми приймаємо істину Господню, що є любов до ближнього і що є Царство Небесне. |

They were men and women who were known and many who were unknown, yet they all have one thing in common, they imitated Christ in their lives. |

Sunday of All Saints of Ukraine – What is the Purpose for this Sunday? - 06/24/2021
On the second Sunday after Pentecost our Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church celebrates the Sunday of All Saints of Ukraine. Sadly, many of our parishes are witnessing a decline in Sunday worship and in membership. Our parishes are doing everything possible just to keep up with the monthly expenses. Is praying for the bills to be paid the main purpose for the Church? There is another purpose for the church – that purpose is to make people holy. A church that does not make it’s people holy is not a church, it is merely an organization which uses the word 'Church'. The Church celebrates the memory of the holy ones, the saints, to show us living examples of people whose souls were saved, so that we can imitate them in our lives. They teach us how to please God. Today is the Sunday of All Saints of Ukraine and we commemorate all of those men, women and children that are famously known to us and those who are known only to God. |

50th ANNIVERSARY - REPOSE OF METROPOLITAN JOHN - 05/07/2021
On the third of May 1971, the First Primate of our Church of the U.S.A., His Beatitude, John, Archbishop of Philadelphia and Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of North and South America, fell asleep in the Lord. The Funeral Services and Eulogies on his behalf, witnessed unto the entire world the extreme sorrow with which the clergy and faithful accepted his repose. Thousands of his spiritual flock along with all the clergy and faithful of other churches and faiths paid homage while he lay in state. Faithful of other Orthodox Churches with their hierarchs and clergy conducted memorial prayers. “These services, eulogies and farewells formed an undying wreath, which we placed upon his fresh grave out of a deep respect and love for him.” (Archbishop Mstyslav) |

Вхід Господній в Єрусалим - 04/23/2021
В Квітну Неділю наша Свята Православна Церква святкує пам’ять дуже важливих хвилин з життя Ісуса Христа, - пам’ять Його торжественного в’їзду в Єрусалим на добровільні страждання. Десь у давній-давнині виголосив пророк Захарія: “Радій вельми, о дочко Сіону! Веселись, о дочко Єрусалиму! Ось Цар твій до тебе їде, справедливий і повний спасіння, покірний, і верхи на ослі їде, на осляті, на молоденькій ослиці.“ (Зах. 9,9) |

Currently, there are 242 vaccines being developed to protect the population from Covid-19.This documentprovides answers to frequently asked questions regarding vaccines. |

Humility - 02/19/2021
In the Orthodox tradition, humility has often been called the “mother of all virtues,” and pride has been named “the cause of all sin.” The wise and honest person is the one who is humble. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the spoils with the proud. A man’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will retain honor. (Proverbs 16:18, 16:19, 29:23) |

Втеча від Ірода — втеча від гріха - 01/08/2021
Сьогодні Євангельська розповідь навчає нас як рано у своєму земному житті Господь наш Ісус Христос почав страждати, щоб принести спасіння усьому роду людському. Можливо ми часом забуваємо що Христос почав страждати ще до того як Він народився. Згадаймо, що не одна родина не відкрила дверей перед Вседівою Марією перед Різдвом ЇЇ сина. Не одна людина не відкрила дверей свого серця Господу. |

Genealogy - 01/01/2021
Genealogy is a popular pastime for many Americans today. There are numerous high-profile websites and even TV programs dedicated to helping people learn “who they are”. Many people begin their ancestry search hoping to find wealthy or noble predecessors, naively hoping to find someone who came over on the Mayflower (little danger of that for us Ukrainian Orthodox!) Yet as any experienced genealogist will confirm, it’s not what you want to find, but what you really do find that you must be prepared to accept. |

A Banquet - 12/25/2020
Once upon a time, a young man walked into a car dealership to inquire about the purchase of an automobile. The salesmen on duty that day could see that he was young and that he had arrived on his bicycle. They proceeded to explain how good their brand of automobile was, and that one should not aspire to own one of their autos as one’s ‘first purchase’ of a vehicle, but rather that one should ‘work one’s way up’ to their ‘higher class’ model. They laughed as they sent the young man on his way. The young man bought his first car somewhere else, but never reached the point of going back to that first dealership. Years later he read that the ‘higher class’ brand of auto was being discontinued due to poor sales figures. |

Fishers of Men - 10/09/2020
Today the Church begins the cycle of Gospel Readings from St. Luke. Now, St. Luke was a Gentile, and not a Jew, and, by profession he was a physician, so it’s not surprising that we see a great number of healing accounts in St. Luke’s Gospel, as well as an emphasis on mission and evangelism, his obvious desire in writing this account of the Gospel being to present it in a way so as to be more effective in the evangelization of the Gentile people- most all of us. |

Зцілення дочки жінки хананеянки - 10/01/2020
Сьогоднішня Євангелія - про зцілення. Чим зцілення дочки жінки хананеянки виділяється з-поміж інших зцілень та чудес, які Ісус чинив протягом Його земного буття? Чому саме ця історія потрапила до Святого Письма? Чим вона цінна саме для нас, християн 21 століття?
У той час Ісус залишив Юдею і подорожував у країні Тирській і Сідонській. Очевидно, чутка про дивовижні зцілення уже випередила Ісуса. Жінка, що мала хвору дочку, дізналася про Спасителя, і вирішила просити у Нього допомоги. Вона знала про що вона буде говорити з Ісусом. Найбільшою проблемою її життя було здоров'я її дитини. Не вагаючись, вона підійшла до Господа і розповіла Йому про своє горе. Ісус мовчав. Але жінка наполягала, вона прийшла сюди, щоб отримати найнеобхідніше, і не хотіла залишитися з нічим. |

Just Enough Crumbs - 10/01/2020
On the 17th Sunday after Pentecost we read in the Gospel of St. Matthew about a Canaanite woman whose daughter is possessed by a demon. No one else has been able to help her, so she comes to Jesus and begs for His help. His response is startling. At first He ignores her. When she persists, He refers to her and the people of her country as little dogs not worthy of His blessings because they are not Jews. |

Запрошені та не йдуть - 09/10/2020
Сьогодні ми з вами у євангелії, записаній святим апостолом і євангелістом Матвієм, чули притчу про весільний бенкет. У давнину, коли цар влаштовував весільний бенкет для свого сина. це була подія, до якої ретельно готувалися. Готувалася особливо вишукана їжа і напитки. Це була подія суспільна і державна, яка стосувалася всіх людей. Бути присутнім на весіллі у царського сина було надзвичайно великою честю, не тільки тому, що людина опинялася серед розкішного бенкету, але й тому, що бути запрошеним царем, це саме по собі вже велика честь. |

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand! - 09/10/2020
Today the Holy Orthodox Church commemorates the beheading of the glorious prophet, forerunner, and Baptist John. The Church reverences the holy saint with three separate and distinct titles: prophet, forerunner and Baptist. The first title associated with St. John is prophet. This is due to the fact that the Holy Orthodox Church widely considers St. John to be the last and greatest prophet of the Old Testament. His role as prophet is reaffirmed by Christ Himself in the Gospel of St. Matthew when he says: “Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. (Matthew 11:9,14). His role as prophet is once again reaffirmed by his own father prophet Zachariah in the Gospel of St. Luke when he proclaims: “And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High” (Luke 1:76). In addition, these proclamations fulfill Old Testament prophecy which prefigure St. John’s role as prophet. In Malachi 4:5, it is written: “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes”. Therefore, we see that the role of St. John as prophet is not only pre-figured in Old Testament scripture, but is also re-affirmed by Christ Himself. |

Sunday of the Man Born Blind - 05/21/2020
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him” (John9:3). These words were heard during the reading of the Gospel for this Sunday. It would seem that a great misfortune had afflicted this man: he was born blind, and he never saw the beauty of God’s world. When people saw this man blind from birth, they immediately thought that God had sent him this misfortune as a severe punishment for his sins, or those of his parents, because children are often punished for their parents’ sins. |

The Samaritan Woman - 05/14/2020
It was the sixth-hour of the day, the hottest part of the day with the sun at its zenith. It was perhaps the worst time of the day to visit Jacob’s well. But water was the life blood of any Samaritan village and the community well had to be visited daily. There would be no avoiding it even though this particular Samaritan woman, whom tradition calls Photini, had little desire to have any kind of chance meetings with fellow Samaritans. Her life, with its multiple marriages and taint of fornication, had made her an outcast among the other good women of this town. In order to avoid the shame and displeasure of being shunned, she came late that day. The resulting meeting with the man who waited at the well, despite the initial social awkwardness of this seemingly chance encounter, would change everything. |

Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom - 04/18/2020
If any man be devout and loves God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast. If any man be a wise servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive his recompense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no misgivings; because he shall in nowise be deprived therefore. If any have delayed until the ninth hour, let him draw near, fearing nothing. If any have tarried even until the eleventh hour, let him, also, be not alarmed at his tardiness; for the Lord, who is jealous of his honor, will accept the last even as the first; he gives rest unto him who comes at the eleventh hour, even as unto him who hath wrought from the first hour. And he shows mercy upon the last, and cares for the first; and to the one he gives, and upon the other he bestows gifts. And he both accepts the deeds, and welcomes the intention, and honors the acts and praises the offering. |

Homily on the Sunday of St. John of the Ladder - 03/20/2020
Saint John of the Ladder: challenges us to take the Gospel seriously. As such, it continues last week’s message: Deny Yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Christ. Why? Because the world has fallen, and we have fallen with it; and it takes energy to restore things to their proper state. It takes a lot of effort to fix something that has been broken. When we refuse that challenge, we are really saying that we prefer things the way they are; that we are comfortable with the mess we have made of this world and of the mess we have made of our lives. More importantly, we are saying that it is not worth the bother to help others recover from all their pain and suffering. That we prefer sitting in our own warm filth too much to get up and lend a hand to people in desperate need of help. Because that is what it means to follow Christ: it means to put the needs of others before our own. What else is love than the denial of the self in service to another? This is the love God has for all His children, and it is the same love He expects us to have for one another. And He expects this of us 24/7. |

Неділя 1-ша Великого посту. Торжество Православ’я. - 03/05/2020
Свята, Православна, Соборна і Апостольська Церква святкує сьогодні день свого торжества. Церква за весь період свого існування піддавалася великим гонінням, і ці гоніння тривають і до нині. Але, найбільші гоніння випали на перші століття християнства, на період розколів і єресей. На семи Вселенських Соборах святі отці і вчителі Церкви відстоювали святість і єдність Церкви. Весь цей період закінчився перемогою Православ’я над єресями, і у 842 р. за візантійського імператора Михаїла і його матері Феодори, коли Константинопольським Патріархом був святитель Мефодій, встановлено свято «Торжества Православ’я». |

The First Sunday of the Great Lent - 03/05/2020
The liturgical celebration of the First Sunday of the Great Fast, like all the other Sundays of the Great Fast, has gone through an evolution over the course of time. Originally it was a commemoration of the Old Testament prophets and their prophesies concerning our Lord based on the Gospel account wherein Philip tells Nathaniel, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law, and also the prophets,” (John 1:45). The Apostolic Reading from Hebrews also speaks about the prophets and their sufferings and concludes, “therefore, since we for our part are surrounded by this cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every encumbrance of sin which clings to us and persevere in running the race which lies ahead; let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.” (Hebrews 12:1-2) Additionally the Alleluia verses also uphold this theme: Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel among those who called upon His Name. They called upon the Lord, and He answered them. (Psalm 98:6) |

SUNDAY OF THE LAST JUDGMENT - 02/20/2020
This morning we continue with the Sundays of preparation for our beginning of the journey we all make during Great Lent. We began two Sundays ago with the time of preparation for the Great Fast with being reminded of the importance of humility for our journey as we heard the parable of the Publican and Pharisee. Then last Sunday with the parable of the Prodigal Son, we were reminded of how the Love of God is central to our making this journey. Now we come to the Sunday of the Last Judgment as we are now reminded the reason for this journey we soon will embark upon: that with humility and aware of the Love of God for us, we begin this journey of cleansing of soul and body not only to properly celebrate the coming Feast of Feasts but to prepare ourselves for the coming day of the Last Judgment. We prepare ourselves in this way so that on that terrible and awesome Day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to judge the living and the dead, we may be found worthy to stand on the right hand with those who lived their lives responding to the Love of God by extending that Love to our fellow man. |

Four Orthodox Lessons From Martin Luther King - 01/20/2020
Every January Americans pause to honor the memory of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who led a civil rights movement that called this nation to see every person as created in the image and likeness of God and worthy of equal treatment under the law. One of the most beautiful moments in American Orthodox history was when Archbishop Iakovos of North and South America chose to march against racial segregation laws with Rev. King in Selma, Alabama. This event made famous on the cover of Life Magazine serves as a constant reminder that the Orthodox faith is not a museum of history but a way of living in the world that must carefully cultivated and acted upon. What we believe as Orthodox Christians is not merely one private opinion among many but an eternal truth that has serious implications for every choice we make. The fact that the most distinguished bishop in American Orthodoxy chose to march with Rev. King reminds every Orthodox Christian that we can learn much from the witness of America’s leading civil rights leader. |

Nativity Epistle - Різдвяне Послання 2019-20 - 12/19/2019
Today, the Holy Orthodox Church radiantly celebrates the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the hearts of all of us are filled with great and incomprehensible joy; God in the flesh appeared on earth. All humanity had anticipated this event since the time of Adam and Eve. As the prophets of the Old Testament proclaimed: “Behold the Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and you shall call His name Immanuel” which is translated, “ God is with us”( Isaiah 7:14). The Lord sends redemption to His people (Psalm 110:9). The salvation of the human race cannot be achieved by human forces and for this reason it is necessary for God to come into the world. |

Homily for the Sunday after Ascension - 06/05/2019
In Between Time
This (“in between time”) term summarizes so much for us. We all seem to be living in the time between one thing and another.
For youth. For our youth, this is the time between when our youth have been granted adult bodies and a certain knowledge of how the world works - and the time when they can put those bodies and their talents to good use. And no longer does such a description simply apply to the challenges of being a teenager; our culture has extended this time of waiting past its natural breaking point, well into adulthood. This creates tremendous dissonance and tension between what their biology and morality tell them to be natural and correct and what the world tells them is the right way they should live. It is also a time of great anticipation as they wait for their chance to “make a difference”, but this anticipation can be incredibly stressful and brings strong temptations for nihilism, hedonism, self-absorption, superficiality, and despondency.

Parable of the Marriage Feast - 08/29/2018

If you ask whether the idea of stewardship shows up in the Bible, I would say, “It’s everywhere.” In fact, I’ve wanted to compile some short homilies on how stewardship shows up in the regular Sunday readings, so this is a great opportunity to start! |

Throughout the years, however, since early after the mission began, we have always had additional liturgical assistance. One of those subdeacons is now Fr. Theophan Mackey of St Job of Pochaiv, our UOC mission parish in Los Alamos NM. We anticipate more entrants into the pastoral ministry in the near future. |

“Luba” in Action! - 03/28/2018
In the spirit of this Lenten season, “LET US BE ATTENTIVE!” (LUBA) is a call to be attentive to our neighbor, to our community, to our parish family and to Christ! This year, as a Lenten Project, parishioners of St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Boston undertook a charitable activity to assist the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) in shipping emergency hygiene kits to those in need around the world. Imagine a child being so poor that soap and washcloths are considered luxury items. Imagine being a refugee who has fled from home with only the items he carries in his hands. Imagine being the victim of a natural disaster and losing all of your possessions. For the faithful of St. Andrew’s, assembling and sending these emergency kits was a practical and tangible way to provide aid and to make life a bit better for those in need. |

Nativity of our Lord Pastoral Message from the Assembly of Bishops - 01/03/2018
With the Magi, the kings of the East, each of us is invited to embark on a lifelong journey to meet the Savior—the Son of God, born in the flesh by the Virgin. Our High Priest, Jesus Christ, has shared in our humanity, and thus sympathizes with us. The Lord of lords and King of kings (1 Tim 6:15) assumes flesh and becomes man under some of the harshest conditions: He is born in an uninviting cave; He is lain in a cold manger; and days after His birth, He is forced to seek refuge in foreign lands. Because Christ has endured suffering in the flesh, we are now granted absolute comfort! |

Archpastoral Reflection: St. Philip's Nativity Fast - 11/28/2017
This is a period, which is often not the focus of contemporary Orthodox and non-Orthodox Christians, secularized and smothered in the over-commercialization of the “Xmas” season. The fast is, according to the Church Fathers, a time of mercy, kindness, compassion, self-examination – a time, which challenges us to personal renewal in the Light of Christ’s Gospel. |

St. Philip's Nativity Fast: Pastoral Letter of the Permanent Conference of Ukrainian Orthodox Bishops Beyond the Borders of Ukraine - 11/23/2017
Simply put, our goal during this Pre-Nativity Fast is to mature in Christ, to attain to spiritual quality and excellence in our profession of the Orthodox Christian Faith, to invite Christ Jesus into our very being, to proclaim to an increasingly nominal and apathetic Christian society that, which it would rather not hear: “I bring you tidings of great joy…a Savior is born…He is Christ the Lord!” and He can be found in the hearts and homes of those who proclaim Him by their willingness to “let our light so shine before men, that they might see our good works and give glory to our Father Who is in Heaven” [Matthew 5:16]. |

Council of Bishops of the UOC of the USA: Blessed Thanksgiving! - 11/22/2017
As 2017 year of our Lord draws to a close, and the sacred Season of St. Philip’s (Pre-Nativity) Fast about to begin, we in the U.S. come again to a peculiar weekend. Our national day of Thanksgiving is perhaps the only remaining civic holiday with an overtly religious purpose: the entire nation is meant to pause and thank God for the blessings bestowed upon it. Of course, many will spend this day without any thought of God whatsoever; since they don't think of God at other times, why should this day be any different? This is a day for the people of God to delight in, however. We are a Eucharistic people; thanksgiving is our way of life. We are never more truly ourselves than when we are conscious of our dependence upon God, and God's loving providence at work in our lives. |

Statement of the Council of Bishops of the UOC of the USA: Observing Veterans Day with Thanksgiving - 11/10/2017
Saturday, November 11, 2017 is Veterans Day (this year observed on Friday, November 10th). On this day we remember all those who have served our great nation – the men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to defend our way of life and the values we hold dear, along with the freedom which guarantees that life and those values. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those killed in the line of duty, those suffering from the effects of their time of service during war and otherwise and, of course, all those who have retired from active duty. The extent of such gratitude cannot be measured. The sacrifices made by our veterans and their families are freedom’s foundation. Without the efforts of all the soldiers, airmen, sailors, marines, coast guardsmen, and their families, we would have little comprehension of what that freedom means. |

We find ourselves this day filled with compassion for the families of the victims who perished in the worst terroristic massacre of human life in the history of our nation. We find within ourselves this day an insatiable desire to pray for those victims, that our Lord will grant them a place of rest where the Light of His Countenance shines upon them as they await the great and final judgment. And oddly, we find ourselves this day in a state of shock that such a horrific attack can take place once again without any warning, without any obvious reason and without anyone who will really be capable of explaining. We will hear theory after conjecture, after just plain guesswork on the part of pundit after pundit after pundit. We will, however, probably never fully comprehend why such a horror as this Las Vegas attack can happen or how man can be so cruel to man. |

Deny yourself and follow Him - 09/30/2017
Today we celebrate the 17th Sunday after Pentecost and also the Sunday after Exaltation of The Cross. We have heard two readings from the Holy Gospel, one according to St. Mark dedicated to afterfeast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and another one according to St. Mathew, the reading of this Sunday. Reflecting on the two passages we see the importance of the common theme, it is Kingdom of Heaven. In the first reading we receive the exact commandments what we should do, or how we should live our lives in order for us to inherit The Kingdom of God. And in another reading we have an example of people called, like all of us, to enter that Kingdom of Heaven but not all responded according to expectations of the Creator and therefore were not able to receive the blessing of that generous invitation. |

Joint Message of Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on the World Day of Prayer for Creation - 09/01/2017
The story of creation presents us with a panoramic view of the world. Scripture reveals that, “in the beginning”, God intended humanity to cooperate in the preservation and protection of the natural environment. At first, as we read in Genesis, “no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up – for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground” (2:5). The earth was entrusted to us as a sublime gift and legacy, for which all of us share responsibility until, “in the end”, all things in heaven and on earth will be restored in Christ (cf. Eph 1:10). Our human dignity and welfare are deeply connected to our care for the whole of creation. |

Almost every time we go to our parish churches for Divine services we see altar servers in the Holy Space (sanctuary), but do we really understand their purpose there? Can we say we really appreciate the importance of their ministry? This brings up the question of whether or not the altar servers themselves understand their role in the Church. |

Свята Церква, - наша добра матір,- нагадує нам про це Першою Сповіддю наших діточок. “Дорогі батьки! Ваш син, ваша дочка вступають в свідоме доросле життя! Наступив знаковий перехід від безтурботного дитинства до повсякденного усвідомлення відповідальності за свої вчинки. З цього моменту вони нарівні з вами приступатимуть до Святого Причастя після сповіді, усвідомлюючи всю складність людських поступків!” |

Remembering Metropolitan Constantine… 5 Years Later - 05/22/2017
Celebration and commemoration often go hand-in-hand. Five years have flown by, but, it seems like yesterday that Metropolitan Constantine of Blessed Memory was celebrating the 40th anniversary of his episcopal consecration surrounded by clergy and faithful from around the nation and the world! Those gathered basked in the glow of His Beatitude as he spoke of his early years, talking fondly of Pittsburgh, of his family and church family, and happily expounding upon the joys of All Saints Camp. Everyone had smiled and rejoiced along with His Beatitude on such a momentous anniversary. However, all too soon their tears of joy, were replaced with tears of sorrow, as Metropolitan Constantine fell asleep in the Lord only a day later. |

In his sermon Vladyka Daniel stressed the nature of the church as healing source. All of us need spiritual healing, but in accord with the Paralytic of the Gospel for the day, Vladyka stressed that we must pay attention to that need. Cleansed by our baptism, we are free to seek out the healing that we are promised. This freedom enables us to live in community, entering into the suffering of others to aid in their healing, because we are saved not as individuals, but together in the community of Christ. |

5 February, 2017 - Orthodox Scout Sunday - 02/01/2017
On Sunday, February 5, 2017, Scouts all over the United States will celebrate National Scout Sunday. Scout Sunday is an annual event among all faiths which recognize the good work that is done by Scouts in our religious communities. The observance of Scout Sunday tradition was started years ago to make people in the church aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out of what is pledged each week. The Scout Law says that a “Scout is Reverent” and the Scouts of all ages promise to do their “Duty to God”. These values strengthen youth character in their family, community and faith. That is why this Sunday is set aside to honor God and to remind us that we are all His Creatures and made in His Image or more precisely - to image (reflect) Him to the world. |

God's Invitation to the Great Supper - 12/25/2016
Blessed are those who shall partake of bread in the Kingdom of God. In today's reading from the Holy Gospel we heard the parable about the Great Supper. The closest literal meaning of this parable is related to the Kingdom of God here on earth, - to Christ's Church. In this understanding, Jesus Christ is that man who prepared a great supper; the Church of Christ is the great supper; the first called were the Jewish people; those called secondly were the so-called 'pagans', who were originally non-Jewish Greeks and Romans. The third call would include all other people. |

December 2016 LUBA Guidelines - 11/18/2016
The word attentive has many meanings; observant, aware, vigilant, kind, conscientious, thoughtful and the list goes on. All of these adjectives describe the life of an Orthodox Christian - how we are called to live our daily life. It is no coincidence that during the Divine Liturgy we are called to "Be Attentive". In a way, being attentive is sacramental - being vigilant to Christ and His sacraments. But we are not only called to be attentive in our divine services, we are called to be attentive in our lives and to our brothers and sister in Christ. Be considerate. Be caring. Be understanding. Be sympathetic. |

A Powerful Transformation - 10/08/2016
Today the reading is telling us about Our Lord standing by the Lake of Genesaret, and while He was standing there at a distance there were men washing their fishing nets. Jesus entered into one of the ships which belonged to Simon Peter, and He asked Simon to go out away from the shore and He began to use the ship as a pulpit in order to teach the bystanders. After the Lord had finished teaching the people he told Peter to take the ship out into the deep water and to let down the nets. Peter retorted and said that he was fishing all night and had caught nothing. Nevertheless Simon Peter did as he was told and he and the others on the ship caught a multitude of fish and their nets began to break as they were pulling them in. |

Велике Боже Милосердя - 09/01/2016
Cьогоднішня Євангельська притча є образом великого Божого милосердя до нас, людей, а водночас і образом нашого лукавства відносно наших ближніх. Цар, який хотів звести рахунки зі своїми слугами, - це Господь Бог, а ті боржники — це ми, люди, бо кожен з нас, починаючи від маленької дитини і аж до старості, входить у борг перед своїм Творцем, бо скільки разів згрішимо, стільки разів входимо у борг за який змушені раніше чи пізніше давати звіт. Господь Бог має повне право судити нас справедливо за ці борги, має повне право покарати нас в'язницею, - тобто вічними муками. Але чи робить так Господь із нами? Ні! Він має велике милосердя над нами! |

Stewardship and the Great Council - A Reflection by Very Rev. Fr. Robert Holet - 07/15/2016
The timing couldn’t be better – as the Great and Holy Council of the Orthodox Church convened in Crete with the celebration of the Feast of Pentecost, concluding on the Sunday of All Saints. Much will be written by many with far more profound insights into the historical, spiritual and theological meaning of the Council – as well as the implications of the participation of the Churches and, more notably, the non-participation of others, for whatever reasons. From my perspective, what is so encouraging is the refreshing sight of the Fathers of the Church as they step up – prayerfully, visibly and publically – to act as the stewards of the Lord’s Church in our age. Quietly, the prayer of many Orthodox Christians was that, through the Council, the Lord would pour forth a wave of spiritual enthusiasm, renewed insight and where necessary, needed change, to the Orthodox Church’s life and witness in the world today. |

Bishop Daniel Visits Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Parish Family of Goshen, IN - 06/26/2016
On the weekend of June 25-26, Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox parish in Goshen, Indiana received an archpastoral visit from His Grace Bishop Daniel for the commemoration of All the Saints. At the Saturday evening Vespers, His Grace spoke about the saints who came before us, and what it took them to perfect their lives and to be recognized as saints. He reminded those present that for many saints, it took a lifetime of the Holy Spirit working through them before being considered as saints. In the same way, he explained, we should be mindful of every aspect of our lives and how we interact with this world, the world beyond the doors of the church temple proper. After vespers, Vladyka Daniel met informally with many of the parishioners in a relaxed manner during dinner. He pointed out his pleasant surprise at the beauty of the Goshen countryside, as he had an opportunity to explore the area a little before vespers. |

Often when we hear of tragic events such at the one that occurred on June 12, 2016 our immediate reaction is one of shock and disbelief. We are unable to comprehend and process all that has occurred. We are on overload. We simply cannot take it all in that that many people were shot and killed or injured. We are stunned by the magnitude of the devastation. |

The Paschal Epistle of the Permanent Conference of Ukrainian Orthodox Bishops Beyond the Borders of Ukraine in the Year of our Lord 2016 - 04/30/2016
There is no event and no greater news that is more joyful in the life of the Christian than the news of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ for the Orthodox Church is the Feast of Feasts and the Festival of Festivals because the Resurrection of our Lord is the victory of life over death, of love over hatred, of truth over falsehood, of good over evil, of humility over pride, of faith over hopelessness, and of holiness over sin. |

Patriarchal Encyclical for Holy Pascha 2016 - 04/30/2016
We wholeheartedly address you from the See of the Ecumenical Patriarchate with the joyous greeting “Christ is risen!” The resurrection of Christ is the center of our Orthodox faith. Without the resurrection, our faith is “in vain” (1 Cor. 15:14). Through His resurrection, the divine Word rendered humanity – created in the image of God but wounded and stained by sin – incorrupt and deified, granting us once again the possibility of achieving divine likeness, of which we were deprived through disobedience. |

LUBA - May 2016 Projects and Ideas! - 04/29/2016
The word attentive has many meanings; observant, aware, vigilant, kind, conscientious, thoughtful and the list goes on. All of these adjectives describe the life of an Orthodox Christian - how we are called to live our daily life. It is no coincidence that during the Divine Liturgy we are called to "Be Attentive". In a way, being attentive is sacramental - being vigilant to Christ and His sacraments. But we are not only called to be attentive in our divine services, we are called to be attentive in our lives and to our brothers and sister in Christ. Be considerate. Be caring. Be understanding. Be sympathetic. It is interesting that the acronym for Let us be Attentive is LUBA, which is a derivative of the Ukrainian word lubov or love. In a way, when we are called to Be Attentive, we are also being called to LOVE! This new program of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA is a call to be attentive to your neighbor, to your community, to your parish family and to Christ! On the 20th of each month, the Consistory will highlight one of the nationally commemorated events on the LUBA calendar providing you with resources for your parish. Focus on the highlighted event or choose one of your own and be creative in how you may BE CHRIST. We ask that you send photos and articles of your LUBA efforts to be shared with all of our faithful. You may utilize your LUBA calendar as a parish, as small groups, as families and as personal ministry. |

Ecumenical Patriarch: The Power of Memory - Chornobyl Thirty Years Later - 04/26/2016
Thirty years ago, in the early morning of April 26, 1986, even as the Orthodox Church was about to embark on its holiest of weeks leading to the joy of Easter, the Chornobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded, creating the worst nuclear disaster that the world had seen up to that time.

Palm Sunday: Hosanna in the Highest - 04/23/2016
Two millennia ago, the residents of Jerusalem welcomed Christ as the savior of the Jewish people—a worldly ruler who would free them from the yoke of the Roman empire. Their Messiah would be a king in the conventional sense—with royal purple robes, a crown encrusted with precious stones, a scepter to show his earthly position, and a sword to lead his armies into battle and victory over all who would oppress his people. |

April - Autism Awareness Month - 04/01/2016
The word attentive has many meanings; observant, aware, vigilant, kind, conscientious, thoughtful and the list goes on. All of these adjectives describe the life of an Orthodox Christian - how we are called to live our daily life. It is no coincidence that during the Divine Liturgy we are called to "Be Attentive"... It is interesting that the acronym for Let us be Attentive is LUBA, which is a derivative of the Ukrainian word lubov or love. In a way, when we are called to Be Attentive, we are also being called to LOVE! This new program of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA is a call to be attentive to your neighbor, to your community, to your parish family and to Christ! |

Prodigal Son - 02/26/2016
“When I disobeyed in ignorance Thy fatherly glory, I wasted in iniquities the riches that Thou gavest me. Wherefore, I cry to Thee with the voice of the prodigal son, saying, I have sinned before Thee, O compassionate Father, receive me repentant, and make me as one of Thy hired servants.”
Of the four Sundays preceding Great Lent, none is more full of hope than that of the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the two brothers are poised at the crossroads of their adulthood. It is the realization point for the younger and perhaps the older that there is something more out there besides hearth and home. It is the realization and dream of every young person when attaining maturity to be set free from parental bonds, no matter how loving. |

Metropolitan Antony and Bishop Daniel Meet With the Ecumenical Patriarch - 02/20/2016
Following the recent Pre-Conciliar meeting of the Primates of the Orthodox Churches, which took place in Geneva a few weeks ago, much information began to appear on the Internet about discussions and decisions that took place during the gathering. The source of this information was the press office of the Patriarchate of Moscow. Much of the information was extremely critical in reference to the hierarchs of the Ukrainian Orthodox Churches in the USA and Canada. Most of that criticism was completely false as was the quoted response of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to the criticism, which had been stated during the Geneva meeting. |

Three Holy Hierarchs Feast Day Observed in the Seminary’s Chapel - 02/14/2016
On February 12, 2015 – St. Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox Theological Seminary celebrated its patronal feast, commemorating the Three Holy Hierarchs: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom. They were highly influential bishops of the early church who played pivotal roles in shaping Christian theology. In Eastern Christianity they are also known as the Three Great Hierarchs and Ecumenical Teachers. All Christians are indebted to these “Pillars of Faith” for their defense of the Divinity of Jesus Christ and their faithful articulation of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. They are held in honor by the Church as vessels of God’s grace who preserved the Christian Faith for us today. For they were not only bishops and theologians, but ascetics, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. |

Nativity of our Lord Archpastoral Letter of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America! - 01/04/2016
On these most blessed days of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are all invited to consider how we may manifest among our neighbors the love, mercy and compassion of the Christ-child. This is especially important because Christmas represents the profound and sacred point in history when invisible God, taking the form of a servant,dwells among us. From this time forth the eternal message of salvation is not merely declared through law and prophetic message, but is finally something, as Saint John the Evangelist says, thatwehave heard, that we have seen with our eyes, that we have looked at and touched with our hands (1 John 1: 1). |

Forgiving Others - 08/12/2015
C. E. Macartney, a Christian writer, has pointed out that when Leonardo da Vinci was about to paint his “Last Supper,” he had a quarrel with a fellow artist. He became so enraged that he decided to take his revenge by painting the face of his enemy into the face of Judas. He had determined to make the man go down in infamy. But when he came to paint the face of Christ, da Vinci could make no progress. Something was holding him back – his vengeful spirit. When he realized it, he painted out the face of Judas and began anew on the face of Christ which he finished with the success which the ages have acclaimed. Macartney comments: “You cannot at one and the same time be painting the features of Christ into your own life, and painting another face with the colors of enmity and hatred.” |

Metropolitan Antony and Bishop Daniel Deliver Additional 117,000HRV in Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine - 07/31/2015
Many Ukrainian Patriots are in the line of fire without proper medical support and training.

These three states – Critical bleeding, tension pneumothorax and blocked airways--require immediate attention before even seeing a doctor... Namely because of these facts that His Eminence Metropoliutan Antony, who recently traveled to Ukraine upon the invitation of the President of Ukraine, in order to participate in the observance of 1000 years of repose of Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Great Prince Volodymyr, and His Grace Bishop Daniel, who visited Ukraine due to the academic theological advancement program of St. Sophia Ukrainian Orhtodox Theological Seminary, reached out to "Patriot Defence" organization, a humanitarian initiative of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) that began its activities in May 2014. |

100th Anniversary Celebration of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Dixonville, PA - 07/14/2015
In the early 1900’s people from the Ukraine began to immigrate to the US to find for themselves a better way of life. This brought Ukrainian people to the Dixonville area of Western Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines. Because they yearned for their own church in which to pray, a group of Ukrainian men met and formed the first body of our church in 1915. After having services in a local home for four years, they built a temple that was used until 1988. Now a century later, St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Dixonville, PA is ready to embark on the next 100 years of their existence. |

Pentecost - 05/25/2015
On May 31st the Holy Orthodox Church celebrates Trinity Sunday also known as Pentecost in which the Church remembers the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles as heard in Acts 2:1-4 “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” This feast day is called Pentecost because the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles on the fiftieth day after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and it is called Holy Trinity Day because from this day the action of the Holy Trinity was revealed to the world and people learned to venerate and glorify the three Persons of the one God, the Father and Son and Holy Spirit. |

From Horrific Tragedy to Multiple Blessings - 05/23/2015
It was on Sunday afternoon, 25 August 2013, at St. Mary Protectress (Pokrova) parish, Philadelphia, PA – just a few hours after Divine Liturgy had been celebrated and the faithful members had departed to their homes – that TRAGEDY struck in the form of a fire caused by aging electrical wiring. The fire grew rapidly and spread to encompass the whole Church building and the parish social center and school. Parishioners, along with their priest, Fr. Volodymyr Khanas, began to gather to witness the horror. Fr. Taras Naumenko, of St. Vladimir Cathedral just a few miles away was also present and had informed Metropolitan Antony and Bishop Daniel about what was happening and by the time our hierarchs arrive an hour later to comfort the parish family, it was a five-alarm fire, meaning that five fire companies were working diligently to put an end to the fire. Unfortunately, the buildings were completely destroyed. |

Єпископ Даниїл відвідав поранених солдатів Української Армії в Військовому Госпіталі міста Львова - 05/14/2015
Коли ми чуємо про жертв війни, ми схильні думати про тих, хто не повернувся додому. Ми не задумуємося над тим, що багато з тих, хто служить в армії повертається додому з пораненнями різних видів та ступенів... Для духовенства, для вірних Української Православної Церкви США та особливо для Єпископа Даниїла, який служив капеланом на військовій базі Армії США, робота з пораненими солдатами, допомагаючи чоловікам і жінкам Збройних Сил знову повернутися до нормального способу життя, є ціллю, яка вийшла поза рамки просто фінансової допомоги – і стала індивідуальним та особистим підходом любові та турботи, чому не має ціни. |

Sunday of the Samaritan Woman - 05/05/2015
Christ is Risen!
Each and every one of us can relate to what it is like to be thirsty. When we are thirsty we drink something – water, coffee, tea…we drink something until we are no longer thirsty. But what happens? After time, we become thirsty once again. As human beings we will always need to drink something in order to live. We also know (or should know) that we are not perfect, especially when we look at ourselves spiritually. In fact, we can say that we have a spiritual thirst, just like the Samaritan woman we find in the Gospel lesson for this Sunday. Just like this woman, we go back to the “well” over and over again in life. The “well” in this case, can be used as a metaphor that can mean anything in our life that we continually return back to – something that we do not receive any long term reward or satisfaction. |

РУХ ЗА ВИЖИВАННЯ УКРАЇНИ: Якщо не ми, тоді хто? Якщо не зараз, тоді коли? - 05/04/2015
Мільйони невинних українців страждають через конфлікт з Росією. Іноземне вторгнення зруйнувало безліч життів. Рік тому сім’ї, які жили мирно, мали роботу і працювали 40 годин на тиждень, возили своїх дітей на футбол та балет, сьогодні залишилися бездомними, бідними, каліками, овдовілими та сиротами. Їхнє життя зруйновано і тепер вони мусять покидати свої міста, які колись були повні життя, залишаючи позаду все, що вони нажили, беручи з собою тільки те, що можна помістити у валізку, та вирушати у невідоме та небезпечне майбутнє. |

Missionary to Kenya – Dr. William Black - 04/22/2015
That I would end up an Orthodox missionary was not an option on my event horizon when I first began to formulate a plan for my life. First of all, I grew up in a Protestant home – Presbyterian to be precise. While family interests biased me towards medicine or the sciences, my fascination and training, however, was in history which, however interesting, does not make for an easy career path. And I was a musician to boot, playing the viola in orchestras and ensembles. Unexpectedly, the missionary option intruded itself on my list of possibilities for my life towards the end of my college career. I was by then a sincere Evangelical involved in a campus Christian fellowship. The summer before my senior year, I exchanged my studies in Medieval and Renaissance History at Duke University for living in the rural areas of Kenya with a Kenyan pastor and his family as part of a short-term mission trip in 1980. Those three brief months changed my life. |

2015 Paschal Epistle of the Permanent Conference of Ukrainian Orthodox Bishops Beyond the Borders of Ukraine - 04/12/2015
On this joyful and holy day of the Most-glorious and Divine Resurrection of our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, we extend most heartfelt greetings to all you Orthodox Christians with the feast of the Lord’s Pascha! The magnificent feast of the Resurrection of Christ calls all of us to consider again the eternal treasures of Christian teaching and offers a golden opportunity to fill our hearts with goodness and love for God and neighbour. The Resurrection of Christ unites us all through faith in the victory of light over darkness, goodness over evil and life over death. The Holy Apostle James reminds usthat “as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” (Jam 2:26)And so, on these joyful days of Pascha, we should endeavourwith especial diligenceto prayerfully alleviate the suffering of those oppressed by sorrow, encourage the downcast, perform acts of mercy, loveand compassion, and help those in need, who are waiting for us to offer our aid. |

Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom - 04/11/2015
If any man be devout and loves God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast. If any man be a wise servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive his recompense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no misgivings; because he shall in nowise be deprived therefore.
Якщо хто благочестивий і любить Бога, нехай насолодиться цим світлим торжеством. Якщо хто раб благорозумний, нехай увійде, радіючи, у радість Господа свого. Якщо хто потрудився, постячися, нехай прийме нині винагороду. Якщо хто від першої години працював, нехай отримає нині справедливу заплату. Якщо хто після третьої години прийде, дякуючи, нехай святкує. Якщо хто після шостої години з'явився, нехай не засумнівається, тому що нічого не втратив. |

There is no man on the earth, who would not benefit from receiving healing. We are all in a need of some type of healing, either physical or spiritual; especially after the strain of “not so happy events” that have shaken our country and shaken the whole world… We have fallen into a spiritual distress. Pastors of various religious congregations have been encouraging laity to seek spiritual healing. One after the other has been reminding their faithful of the importance of wellbeing of one’s soul. Our Holy Orthodox Church, besides providing healing through the comforting words of its clergy provides spiritual healing through miracle working sacraments: Holy Confession, Holy Eucharist and in particular Holy Unction. |

Great and Holy Monday, Tuesday, And Wednesday - 04/06/2015
The first part of Great Week presents us with an array of themes based chiefly on the last days of Jesus' earthly life. The story of the Passion, as told and recorded by the Evangelists, is preceded by a series of incidents located in Jerusalem and a collection of parables, sayings and discourses centered on Jesus' divine sonship, the kingdom of God, the Parousia, and Jesus' castigation of the hypocrisy and dark motives of the religious leaders. The observances of the first three days of Great Week are rooted in these incidents and sayings. The three days constitute a single liturgical unit. They have the same cycle and system of daily prayer. The Scripture lessons, hymns, commemorations, and ceremonials that make up the festal elements in the respective services of the cycle highlight significant aspects of salvation history, by calling to mind the events that anticipated the Passion and by proclaiming the inevitability and significance of the Parousia. |

On the Sunday before the Feast of Great and Holy Pascha and at the beginning of Holy Week, the Orthodox Church celebrates one of its most joyous feasts of the year. Palm Sunday is the commemoration of the Entrance of our Lord into Jerusalem following His glorious miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. Having anticipated His arrival and having heard of the miracle, the people when out to meet the Lord and welcomed Him with displays of honor and shouts of praise. On this day, the Orthodox Christians receive and worship Christ in this same manner, acknowledging Him as our King and Lord. To celebrate this great feast of the Church year St. Vladimir Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Parma, OH was blessed to welcome among their midst their spiritual father and the ruling hierarch of the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA – His Grace Bishop Daniel.

Sunday of Orthodoxy 2015 - 02/28/2015
At the onset of our journey to Holy Pascha, the Church designates the first Sunday of Holy and Great Lent as the Sunday of Orthodoxy... Beloved brothers and sisters, perhaps now more than ever before, it is important to declare our Orthodox Christian Faith, for the world is suffering and desperately searching for peace and reconciliation. As the world produces distorted images of the truth, we must share the beauty of the Gospel. As the world resorts to violence and hatred, we must respond with love and forgiveness. And as the world falls deeper into despair, let us ask God to grant us courage to endure and to allow us to serve as icons of hope for our neighbor. |

Even when confronted with threats, catastrophes, suppression, oppression, genocide, secularism – all similar to the faithful Job of the Old Testament – faith and trust in God’s love for all mankind has resulted in the continued existence of the Church in Ukraine and here beyond her borders. |

On Sunday, February 8, 2015, Scouts all over the United States will celebrate National Scout Sunday. Scout Sunday is an annual event among all faiths which recognize the good work that is done by Scouts in our religious communities. The observance of Scout Sunday tradition was started years ago to make people in the church aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out of what is pledged each week. The Scout Law says that a “Scout is Reverent” and the Scouts of all ages promise to do their “Duty to God”. These values strengthen youth character in their family, community and faith. That is why this Sunday is set aside to honor God and to remind us that we are all His Creatures and made in His Image or more precisely - to image (reflect) Him to the world. |

THANKSGIVING 2014 - 11/26/2014
As 2014 year of our Lord draws to a close, and the sacred Season of St. Philip’s (Pre-Nativity) Fast begins, we in the U.S. come again to a peculiar weekend. Our national day of Thanksgiving is perhaps the only remaining civic holiday with an overtly religious purpose: the entire nation is meant to pause and thank God for the blessings bestowed upon it. Of course, many will spend this day without any thought of God whatsoever; since they don't think of God at other times, why should this day be any different? This is a day for the people of God to delight in, however. We are a Eucharistic people; thanksgiving is our way of life. We are never more truly ourselves than when we are conscious of our dependence upon God, and God's loving providence at work in our lives. |

This man is kind of proud about keeping up with the spiritual precepts, and then he goes on and ask “what else must be done in order to enter the Kingdom and have eternal life.” At this point our Lord says something very powerful “go sell everything you have, give the money to the poor and come follow me.” (Mt. 19:21-22) |

Patriarchal Encyclical on Preservation of God's Creation - 08/16/2014
The common Mother of all Orthodox, the Church of Christ, the Body of our eternal Lord and divine-human Jesus Christ, compassionately ministers through all of its activities, but especially through the Divine Eucharist, by offering its holy gifts to their Creator in the mystery of salvation. It does this with proven boundless and indiscriminate love toward all of its members to the degree also demonstrated by our heavenly Father.
In its prayerful memory, the Church always bears in mind the presence of its children, maintaining a vivid interest and concern for all that relates to and influences their lives. This is why it does not remain unmoved or indifferent by the on-going and daily destruction of the natural environment resulting from human greed and vain profit, which in turn implies an essential turning of the Lord’s face and results in consequential turbulence in nature and fracture in its crown, namely human existence, whose very survival is threatened. |

The Feast of Pentecost - 06/05/2014
The Feast of Pentecost is often an under-appreciated Feast, given its high ranking. However, it is also often misunderstood. For example, we see that some call Pentecost “the birthday of the Church.” However, the Church teaches us otherwise. The Synaxarion states the following: “Some erroneously hold that Pentecost is the ‘birthday of the Church.’ But this is not true, for the teaching of the holy Fathers is that the Church existed before all other things.” |

Patriarchal Encyclical for Holy Pascha - 04/16/2014
Resurrection and life are the gifts and the light of Jesus Christ which “shines upon all.” Let us all honor this gift. Let us all thank the Giver, Who by His flesh, shone in the world like in a mirror and has presented the light of the resurrection to the world. Let us then receive the light from the unwaning Light of Life. Let us receive and welcome the gift of the resurrection and cry out from the bottom of our hearts: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death, and to those in the grave bestowing Life! Rejoice nations and be happy! |

PATRIARCHAL ENCYCLICAL FOR HOLY PASCHA - 04/16/2014
The emotional state of the Lord’s disciples was grim after His Crucifixion because, by the Lord’s death on the Cross, the hopes of His disciples were dispersed that He and they would one day prevail as a political power. They had perceived the triumphant entrance of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, following the resurrection of Lazarus and the miraculous feeding of five thousand men, with additional women and children, by five loaves of bread and two fish, as a prelude of their conquering of secular authority. The mother of two of them, moreover, requested that her two sons sit by each side of the Lord when He came to power. All these, however, dissipated as childish imaginations on account of the awful execution of Jesus Christ. |

Together, as one family, we have completed the spiritual journey of Great Lent. Standing on Golgotha with the Most-blessed Theotokos and John the Evangelist, we have witnessed the Author of creation nailed to the Cross. With boldness and profound faith, together with Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, we have dared to touch the life-giving Body of our Lord. And with the Myrrh-bearing Women, we have received the eternal peace and experienced the deafening silence of the Cenotaph of Jesus Christ. |

Archpastoral Visit to Woonsocket, RI - 03/26/2014
When I arrived at Seminary a few Mondays ago to teach, I noticed several young men clearing snow. They spoke perfect Ukrainian, so I thought that perhaps His Grace, Bishop Daniel had smuggled them in luggage during his most recent trip to Ukraine. At Vespers that evening, I learned the truth: they were a men choir from Ivan-Frankivsk. After serving Lenten Vespers with them that evening, I immediately got in touch with His Grace and asked if they could come and serve Presanctified Liturgy with us in Woonsocket. Bishop Daniel agreed and offered to bring them on March 26th. |

His Grace Bishop Daniel Visits Dixonville, PA - 03/09/2014
In his stirring sermon, His Grace reminded us that we have icons in the church to help us picture in our minds those that we are asking to pray for us. The Bishop said, “…The icons help me see the divine reality of the God I believe in.” He continued saying that especially during Lent we really need to ask ourselves if we fit into the story of the Saints around us. Like all of us, everyday he is faced with choices of how he should preach, believe, and depict his responsibilities to God. So it comes down to knowing how to make the right choices. Bishop Daniel went on to say that memorizing scriptures does not make you a Christian, but being a Christian involves knowing what is right and wrong. His sermon was well received by all the faithful who listened intently to his message. |

Sunday of Orthodoxy! - 03/07/2014
Gathering in our Churches as members of the undivided Body of Christ to celebrate the Sunday of Orthodoxy, we call to mind the holy men and women who defended holy icons, succeeded in restoring them, and pronounced the authentic faith and worship of the Church.
Our beloved brothers and sisters, for us Orthodox Christians the presence of icons in our churches and in our homes bears witness to the Incarnation of God and His presence in our lives. Icons also remind us of His invitation to draw closer to Him. Sunday of Orthodoxy and the weeks that follow in Holy and Great Lent help facilitate our effort to become united to Jesus Christ, our Lord. It is our heartfelt prayer that through the veneration of holy icons a doorway to Christ will be opened unto us, permitting us to enter into the fullness of God (Eph. 3:19). |

Святкування 95-ї річниці Дня Соборності України - 01/22/2014
Кожного року 22 січня вся Україна та українці в Діаспорі святкують День Соборності. Яке ж значення має для нас, українців, це свято? Адже проголошений Акт злуки УНР та ЗУНР був політичним та юридичним, проте не відбувся на державному рівні, Україна продовжувала бути епіцентром загарбницьких війн. Це свято є дуже символічним і несе за собою ідею єдності українського народу. Цю єдність ми сьогодні можемо бачити у людях, які вийшли на майдани по цілій Україні, щоб відстоювати те, за що наші прадіди боролися, відстоювали та віддали свої життя і заповідали нам робити так. Саме тому ми так урочисто щороку піднімаємо прапор у супроводі гімну і віддаємо шану цьому дню. |

Свято cв. Миколая у Школі Українознавства при Українському Катедральному Соборі Св. Кн.Володимира у Чикаго! - 12/15/2013
День Святого Миколая - свято, на яке з нетерпінням чекають і діти і дорослі. Цього року Школа Українознавства при Українському Православному Катедральному Соборі Св. Кн. Володимира святкувала його у неділю, 15 грудня. У цей нелегкий для нашої Батьківщини час учителі та вихованці Школи присвятили його Євромайдану - як самій ідеї боротьби за європейське майбутнє України, так і його учасникам - цвітові української нації, що не бажає стояти осторонь, а,незважаючи на заборони та силовий спротив теперішньої злочинної влади, прагнуть вибороти гідне життя для усієї країни. |

It is deeply heartbreaking for us to witness through the media how the festive joy that only months ago assembled the crowds in religious processions has been eclipsed by the shocking violence encountered today in the very same streets. |

Archpastoral Message for 2013 Thanksgiving Day: We Offer Praise and Thanksgiving - 11/27/2013
Once again, our nation pauses to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our tables will be spilling over with food and our homes will resonate with laughter and conversation as we gather to celebrate this special day. Thanksgiving is a quintessentially North American holiday. It is a day when we remember the hardships faced by the first immigrants to this great land, and the gracious kindness with which the native people greeted them. The familiar traditions that surround the origins of Thanksgiving Day when the Native Americans and the settlers of the Plymouth colony came together indicate that gratitude to God was the focus of that first thanksgiving feast. Gratitude to God expressed by those two very different peoples sharing with one another at the same table. |

Permanent Conference of Ukrainian Orthodox Bishops Beyond the Borders of Ukraine: 80th Anniversary of the Holodomor - 11/23/2013
Once again we have come to the annual commemoration of the victims of one of, if not the worst, acts of genocide ever committed against mankind – the purposefully created and perpetrated 1932-33 artificial and genocidal famine in Ukraine, masterminded by Josef Stalin himself and managed by those who devoted their lives to him and carried out every command – regardless of what the consequences were for not only the seven to ten million Ukrainian men, women and children who succumbed to the famine, but also for the countless thousands or even more millions of Ukrainians and others who dared to challenge the “plan” of the day – all throughout the Stalin era. The famine was a part of the master plan to destroy the mind (intelligentsia), the soul (the church and her clergy) and the spirit (farmers and villagers, who embodied the national culture and ancient traditions) of the Ukrainian nation. |

2013 Nativity Fast - 11/18/2013
The Nativity Fast – and not only this fast, but all the other fasts prescribed by our Church – is a means by which we are able to place the spirit before the flesh and to bring desires of the flesh under the control of our spiritual and moral aspirations. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself sanctified fasting with his own example, when he fasted and prayed for 40 days and nights, preparing Himself for ministry to the human race. According to the teaching of the Saviour, fasting helps us to cleanse our soul from sin, frees us from the dominion of the devil and restores us to communion with God. “This kind can only be expelled by prayer and fasting,” (Mt 17:21) says the Lord. Emulating our Lord, Jesus Christ, we, on our life’s path, should take full advantage of this God-given time of the Nativity Fast to maintain a prayerful state of soul, for sincere repentance, and to be worthy of meeting the New-born Christ Child – the Saviour of the World. |

Penn-Ohio Deanery Meeting in Youngstown, OH! - 11/07/2013
During the past decade, most of the deaneries of our church became dysfunctional and either would not meet with regularity or were ineffective. As in the body, the health of individual cells or groups of cells affects the whole, so too our church was affected by malaise from individual marginalized parishes or regions which had ceased to function through apathy. Our hierarchs have issued a wake-up call and recently called a meeting of the Deans to challenge them to be creative in revitalizing their areas, promoting fraternal ties and to be vigilant that parishes do not wither to the state in which they may be forced to close. Invoking the life-giving power of the Gospel, the hierarchs will visit each Deanery to propose ideas which may prove to alleviate local problems and revive apathetic situations. |

20th REGULAR SOBOR OF THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE USA - 10/17/2013
Just as about 6years ago, following the events of the 18th Regular Sobor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, on the first day of the 20th Regular SOBOR of the UOC of the USA, the faithful of the Church were leaving plenary sessions, stating: “It was the Sobor I have waited for all my life – Christ centered and Spirit filled… The Sobor was witness to the presence of the Holy Spirit, vivifying, inspiring, embracing, clarifying, healing… I met so many gifted and devoted people who are ready to offer their services to God through our Holy Church… I actually feel that I am now part of a spontaneously created network of faithful people who fully comprehend that they have a ministry to fulfill.” Such were the comments received by various members and staff of the Consistory since the close of the first day of the Church’s Sobor that virtually all its participants did not want to end. This triennial event in the life of our Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA – the gathering of faithful and clergy – to discuss in depth the progress of her various ministries and to set the course for the future direction of our ministry to save souls, is truly a spiritual and life-confirming moment for all of its participants, particularly under the theme: “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” |

The Way of Life and the Way of Death - 10/15/2013
We know, from Holy Scripture, that in the early days of the Church, our Faith, later to be called “Christianity”, was originally referred to as “the Way.” Its adherents, Christ’s disciples, were followers “of the Way.” Indeed, in the Didache, one of the oldest Christian documents not to have been canonized as Holy Scripture, being written towards the end of the first century, the opening line is, “There are two ways, one of life and one of death; but a great difference between the two ways.” |

The Birth of Mary, Mother of God - 09/17/2013
Our remembrance of Mary today is both odd and countercultural. Odd: a huge feast, a big deal out of her birth, but no record in the Bible anywhere. Source: Gospel of James, a non-canonical source tells much of the detail in Mary's life (second half of second century). The Protoevangelion’s absence from the canon does not mean that all of its material was polluted. The Greek fathers found much of this source to be trustworthy, especially stories about Mary. |

Turning the World Upside Down: 5 Ideas for Orthodox College Students - 09/14/2013
Keeping college students connected to the Church has been the focus of campus ministry for decades. However, the question must be asked: What kind of Church are we keeping college students connected to? Is it a Church that frequently worships emphasizing ethos of various ethnic communities? Is it the social Church of meetings, committees, conventions and festivals? Or is it the Church founded by Jesus Christ and lived by the Apostles – a church that changes lives and since Apostolic times has “turned the world upside down”?(Acts 17:5-7) |

Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all - 09/02/2013
On the 11th Sunday after Pentecost we hear a parable in which the kingdom of heaven is described as a king who wants to settle accounts with his servants. When one of the servants approaches the King he is unable to pay his debt. Falling down before the king he begs for mercy saying “Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all”. Having compassion the king released him from all his debt obligations. Unfortunately, this servant did not show compassion to his own servants. Finding one of them, he demanded that he be re-paid one-hundred denarii that was owed him. This servant unable to pay fell before him and begged for patience and mercy. |

Fourth Watch - 08/03/2013
After the multitudes were fed “Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.” (Matt. 14:22) In this verse the Lord is teaching us prudence, for often we humans have the weakness of lingering with the people who praise our so called good works. Thus, we fall into temptation and eagerly embrace men’s praise instead of heavenly rewards. Therefore, Jesus sends His disciples away immediately so that the Apostles not fall into temptation and the multitudes not fall into idolatry for the miracle performed. |

Reflections on Southwest Virginia Mission Trip, July 2013 - 07/25/2013
The primary way that the Lord stayed is in His Church. In this season after Pentecost, we especially call to mind the gift of the Holy Spirit given to those who had already received the Great Commission from the Lord before His Ascension. We, too, are recipients of the Holy Spirit through the mystery of Chrismation. The Lord Jesus Christ has called us, sent us, and equipped us to do the good work of acting as His hands and feet in the world. |

We greet you in the surpassing joy of the Risen Christ. By the grace of God, we are blessed to observe the Sixth Sunday of Pascha, which this year falls on June 9, as Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday. We embrace the diakonia of prison ministry in keeping with the example of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ, the Great Physician of our souls, who did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance; who ate in the houses of thieves and forgave the sins of harlots; and who said that, when we visit those in prison, we are in truth visiting Him, the Lord of Glory. |

Palm - Willow Sunday at St. Panteleimon Parish, Brooklyn, NY - 04/30/2013
In the life of the Holy Church, a tradition consists of any event or practice that occurs regularly in a diocese or even a local parish and has become expectation in the lives of the faithful. Such a tradition begins with a small “t” as opposed to Holy Tradition (capital “T”), which is equal to Holy Scripture – the teachings and dogmas handed down throughout the life of Christ’s Church. A tradition has developed in St. Panteleimon Parish, Brooklyn, NY according to which Metropolitan Antony annually visits the parish to bless the willow branches in commemoration of our Lord’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem when the population of the city greeted Him – mistakenly, of course as an earthly king – crying out “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel”! |

Why Do We Need To Have Palm Sunday? - 04/22/2013
As Orthodox Christians we consider Palm Sunday as one of our beloved Major Feast Days. This day is also known as the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. All four Biblical Gospel accounts tell the story. A week before His Resurrection, Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem riding a donkey. The people who greeted Jesus, in a manner of honor, covered His path by laying down clothing and branches. The entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is “triumphal” because it is an event intended to proclaim that the Prince of Peace (Jesus Christ) has arrived as the King of Israel. This is why Jesus rode on a donkey - a symbol of peace, as opposed to a warrior on horseback. |

Once Again – Terror Shows its Ugly Face… - 04/16/2013
It is painful to be sitting down once again to reach out to the victims of terror in our great nation of the United States of America. Once again we view the agony on the faces of victims, survivors and family members of both, repeatedly shown on our television sets and our computer screens and we are compelled by Christian Love to convey to them our deepest sympathy. Although the number who were killed was relatively small, there are still many more in critical condition and hundreds more with less serious – physical, that is – injuries. |

Четверта Неділя Великого Посту - 04/10/2013
В той самий час, як Христос, узявши з собою трох апостолів Петра, Якова, й Івана вийшов на гору Фавор і там преобразився решта учнів лишились внизу під горою, де вже стала збиратися чимала громада. Якийсь чоловік привів із собою біснуватого сина і просив учнів щоб уздоровити дитину. Учні пробували це зробити, але не змогли. Коли ж Ісус зійшов з гори на долину, нещасний батько став просити Ісуса щоб Він врятував його сина, - і Спаситель одним словом вигнав нечистого духа. Тоді учні запитали Ісуса, чому вони не змогли цого зробити. Ісус відповів: «Цей рід недуги нічим не можна вигнати, тільки молитвою й постом.» З цього бачимо, що піст і молитва – могутня зброя, якою треба воювати проти нечистого духа. Великого добродійства зазнав цей юнак від Ісуса: він з дитинства був обплутаний злим духом що люто знущався над ним. Терпів хлопець, а з ним його батьки, що безпорадно дивилися щодня на його терпіння. І нарешті всі його страждання скінчилися. Ісус взяв юнака за руку і віддав батькам. |

Друга неділя великого посту - 03/26/2013
Перебуваючи в часі великого посту, ідучи дорогою духовного подвигу, для всіх нас є невід'ємною частиною нашого життя очищення для того, щоб підготовити себе до великого свята - Воскресіння Господнього. Розуміючи піст - як стримання, достоїнство людини володіти собою, перемагати зло в самому собі, перемагати свої недобрі звички та пристрасті. Піст є обмеження потреб тіла, щоб віддати більше уваги вищим прагненням душі людської. Дорога, якою ми ідемо в часі чотиридесятниці — це є високий відданий Богові настрій душі, є рішуче відмежування від усього того, що може цей настрій принизити, чи зіпсувати спокусами життя. |

He is both the first icon maker and the first icon. If we then reject the physical depiction of the truly physical God-man, we are likely to reject that Jesus is truly present as God in this world. Think of the emperors who were quite happy to place their own images on things, but make God invisible. In doing so, they usurped the king of heaven and hellish behavior followed as they set themselves up as false gods. |

Archpastoral Letter: Great Lent 2013! - 03/18/2013
Having only been in a state of spiritual joy recently celebrating the Holy Nativity season, we scar¬cely perceived, by the grace of God, that the Holy Church has guided us to a new point in our lives – a time of fasting and prayer, a period of spiritual strengthening and purification, an occasion for spiritual advance¬ment and perfection. The Holy and Great Fast is a unique time in the life of every Christian. This is the time dedicated to repe¬ntance and forgiveness for the cleansing of our soul and body. This exceptional time provides us an opportunity to draw as close as possible to holiness and, ultimately, to God. |

Неділя М’ясопусна - 03/05/2013
Повчання про Страшний або Останній суд було сказано Ісусом Христом декілька днів до розп’яття. Бог створив наших предків Адама і Єву і вони жили в раю. “І створив Бог Людину за образом Своїм, за образом Божим створив її; чоловіка і жінку створив їх” (Буття 1, 27). Бог приходив до Адама і Єви і з ними говорив. Бог створив людей для вічного життя. По намові диявола, Адам і Єва з’їли з дерева пізнання добра і зла, що було заборонено Богом. Вони згрішили, тобто порушили заповідь Божу. Адам і Єва пізнали зло і стали смертними людьми. Вони в собі знівечили подобу Божу і за це були вигнані з раю. |

The Publican and the Pharisee - 02/19/2013
There is the strange doctrine of Eternal Security as witnessed in the common saying “Once saved, always saved.” I remember the man who accosted me (yes, I was dressed as a priest) with the challenge: “Have you been saved?!?” Wow, that took a lot of gall. I responded: “I hope to be saved.” He countered with: “Well, I know if I died right now I would go immediately to Heaven!” How sad! This is the sin of pride – the very sin into which the Pharisee fell when he proclaimed he was better than other men – especially this Publican. |

What Child is this? - 01/05/2013
Among all the repetitious versions of “Jingle Bell Rock” and “White Christmas” (the latter being meaningless in the south) in the month of December, one particular radio station I was listening to decided to play “What Child is this?” After I had listened to it, I began to wonder how many of us who profess to be Christians would know Who the child was, even though we claim to belong to Him. St. Joseph asked, not “what child is this” but rather “whose child is this” until the angel appeared, but then dedicated Himself and intertwined His life with Christ’s life until he reposed. |

2012 Patriarchal Christmas Encyclical - 12/21/2012
“Christ is born, glorify Him; Christ is on earth, exalt Him.” Let us rejoice in gladness for the ineffable condescension of God.The angels precede us singing: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will among all people.” Yet, on earth we behold and experience wars and threats of wars. Still, the joyful announcement is in no way annulled. Peace has truly come to earth through reconciliation between God and people in the person of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, however, we human beings have not been reconciled, despite God’s sacred will. We retain a hateful disposition for one another. We discriminate against one another by means of fanaticism with regard to religious and political convictions, by means of greed in the acquisition of material goods, and through expansionism in the exercise of political power. These are the reasons why we come into conflict with one another. |

“Oh Lord, Have Mercy Upon Mankind…” - Horrific Shooting in CT! - 12/14/2012
When we began to hear the horrific news coming from another small town, Newtown, Connecticut, and the murder of innocents and adults, our fear was that it would be a tragedy beyond belief because some sick mind wanted to make a statement during these Holy Days. Our worst fears have been confirmed. Nearly thirty students and adults have been slaughtered – “having done no wrong” – and our hearts are heavy with pain and we weep as did Rachel of old. We, along with all our clergy and faithful of our Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church, express our profound sympathy to the parents and family members of those lost.

On Sunday, December 2, 2012, the UOC of USA parish in Charlottesville (Greenwood), Virginia under the patronage of St. Nicholas of Myra, welcomed His Eminence, Metropolitan-Elect Antony, for its patronal feast. Founded as a Mission effort in 1998, and Consecrated as a Parish in 2009, the Parish has recently completed an interior renovation designed by skilled members of the Parish family to increase the size of the nave, in order to accommodate the increasing numbers of faithful congregants and visitors. The weekend’s activities began with an historic, long-awaited visit by His Eminence to Southwest Virginia on Saturday and culminated in Sunday’s Hierarchical Divine Liturgy. It was with hearts full of a special spirit of thanksgiving and welcome that the traditional gifts of bread and salt were presented by Parish board chair, Ms. Cynthia Patzig and vice chair, Mr. Donald McKay, with Elena Gavrilovic representing the parish youth in an offering of flowers. The Metropolitan-Elect admitted his great love and solicitude for the Parish that he always visits with joy. V. Rev. Robert Holet, the parish pastor, welcomed His Eminence with the traditional presentation of the altar cross, noting the joy of the Parish in the announcement of the election of His Eminence to serve as Metropolitan of the UOC of USA.

St. Philip's Fast in Anticipation of the Nativity of our Savior Jesus Christ - 12/04/2012
We have begun the Fast of St. Philip, called such because it commences the day after the Feast of St. Philip the Apostle, which falls on 27 November (14 November on the Gregorian or New Calendar) and continues through the Eve of the Holy Feast of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on 6 January (24 December on the Gregorian Calendar). The pace of life and the rabid secularization of our Western society has, unfortunately, affected the lives of Ukrainian Orthodox Christians along with the rest of society in lessening the importance of this period of preparation for the Nativity of Christ and for Theophany – the manifestation of the Holy Trinity – followed by the beginning of our Lord’s earthly ministry. We appeal to you all, however, to take a step back from that process of de-Christianizing the world, to discover who you are as the inheritors of an incredible spiritual legacy in, which is our Ukrainian Orthodox Church, along with all the Orthodox world, and it’s profound devotion to Christ through the some of the most difficult and horrific moments of human history. Our forefathers and mothers provided us with example after example of devotion and dedication to Christ, the Word of God, even to the point of martyrdom. |

The Entrance of the Holy Mother of God into the Temple - 12/03/2012
Today the living Temple of the holy glory of Christ our God * Mary, the pure and blessed one, * is being brought into the temple according to the Law * to live in its holy precincts * Joachim and Anne and all the virgins * rejoice with her in spirit. * They sing hymns of praise to the Lord * and honor His Mother. (Vesper Verse for the Feast) We celebrate today the Feast of the Entrance of the holy Mother of God into the Temple. One of the first things we notice is the great joy there is in her and those around her. Mary will be dwelling in the Temple of the Lord as she is being prepared to be the Temple of the Lord – the God-bearer or the Birth-Giver of God. |

The children of the Lesia Ukrainka School of Religion and Ukrainian Studies, affiliated with the cathedral, were all running around excitedly adding to the cacophony of noise. Their excitement stemmed from the anticipation they were experiencing in greeting their beloved hierarch, His Grace Bishop Daniel - Ruling Hierarch of the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A. |

Let us offer special gratitude for our religious freedom and remember in prayer all who have ever helped us in a time of need.

Let us reach out to those in need – for example, through the Ukrainian Orthodox League’s Thanksgiving Tithe Event – to share our bounty, however humble, with them. The very best way to give thanks to God for His abundant blessings upon us is to imitate Him by providing blessings to others. |

SUNDAY OF ST. MARY OF EGYPT - 03/29/2012
Each Sunday, both of Pre-Lent and Lent itself, has a poignant message for us so that we might take seriously the business of repentance (metanoia) and have the direction about how to achieve this goal. The Pre-Lenten Sundays are meant to shape our attitude so that we might be predisposed to enter into this sacred time without the grievous pitfall of hypocrisy. There is nothing worse than seemingly observing Lent, but through pride, lack of forgiveness or other hypocrisy to make this season of no value at all, but rather worthy of condemnation.

The rich man and Lazarus - 11/04/2011
In the Gospel reading of “the rich man and Lazarus” we hear a parable describing an unnamed rich man living a very lavish lifestyle. A lifestyle so lavish, it consisted of having the finest clothing, the finest food and the finest materialistic possessions one could have during those times. It almost seems the rich man was living the dream many of us dream of today, especially if we end up winning the lottery. Basically, the rich man was living a care free life only caring for himself and no one else. On the other hand, the parable begins to describe a man completely opposite of the rich man. This man being Lazarus lies poor and diseased before the entry gate of the rich man’s dwelling, so poor that he desires “to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table” (Luke 19:21). In the end both men faced what each and every one of us will have to face one day and that is death. |

Притча про сіяча - 10/27/2011
В сьогоднішньому Євангелії Господь говорить притчу про сіяча. Ученики запитали Його - що значить притча оця? Отож разом з ними і ми запитаємо, щоб навчитися, як ми повинні слухати та сприймати слово Боже! Це найголовніше, що є в житті людському, - дізнатися, що говорить тобі Христос. Найщасливіша та людина, дорогі браття і сестри, хто чує це і осягає і пізнає своїм розумом. Господь сказав - вам дано осягнути таємниці Божого Царства. Сказав своїм послідовникам і поступово просвічує учнів Своїх випробовуючи в вірності Божественної правди. Тому то і ми своїми душами та серцями підемо в наслідуванні слова Божого. Серце - це грунт, грунт для насіння Божого, місце для доброго плоду. Тому і сенс життя з'єднати наше серце зі Словом Божим. І тоді Господь зробить наше життя по істинні дивним! |

Historic Flooding In Johnson City, New York - 10/03/2011
Johnson City, NY and our surrounding local community have been devastated as a result of widespread flooding from Tropical Storm Lee which occurred September 7th, 2011. Our St. John Ukrainian Orthodox Church’s basement, library, museum, classrooms and boiler room received flooding and damage, as did our rectory basement, and boiler room in our Memorial Center. Many of our own parishioners have been affected with loss of possessions or their homes. We currently have 15 families from St. John’s who have experienced damage due to flooding. We are reaching out to them all on a personal basis to assess their individual needs whether monetary, physical or emotional. As we have talked to most victims about their loss from of this historic flooding, the devastation is overwhelming. The tolls for many are great and the emotional burden has truly brought our parish members to tears and feelings of despair, depression and inability to cope. |

15th Sunday after Pentecost - 09/19/2011
2 Corinthians 4: 6-15. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. |

Багато покликаних та мало вибраних - 09/15/2011
Такими словами Христос завершує свою Євангельську притчу, в якій Спаситель образно змальовує історію взаємовідносин між Богом та людьми. В притчі Ісус Христос показує Царя, який післав слуг своїх для того, щоб вони запросили весільних гостей, та останні відмовилися, поскільки в кожного була поважна причина. Після другого запрошення така сама реакція, більше того на кінець ще й слуг його повбивали. Почувши це Цар наказав вичубити всіх та спалив їхні міста. Тоді посилає слуг своїх кажучи : " ідіть на шляхи та перехрестя і запрошуйте всіх кого знайшли злих та добрих". Весілля поповнилося людьми. Побачивши чоловіка без весільної одежі, Господар карає його кажучи : " вкиньте його в темряву надвірню, там буде плач та скрегіт зубів" (Мф. 22;13). |

The Beheading of St. John the Baptist - 09/09/2011
"The memory of the righteous is celebrated with hymns of praise, but the Lord's testimony is sufficient for you, O Forerunner; for you have proved to be even more venerable than the prophets since you were granted to baptize in the running waters Him Whom they proclaimed. Wherefore, having contested for the truth, you did rejoice to announce the good tidings even to those in Hades; that God has appeared in the flesh, taking away the sin of the world and granting us great mercy." (Troparion of the Feast) The day of the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist is commemorated by the Holy Orthodox Church on the September11. In memory of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, the feast day established by the Church is also a strict day of fast -- as an expression of the grief of Christians at the violent death of the saint. |

Hurricane Irene Aftermath: the Metropolia Center of the UOC of the USA! - 08/29/2011
As you most assuredly have heard by now, major flooding has once again occurred at the Metropolia Center of our Holy Church in South Bound Brook, NJ following the powerful destructive path of Hurricane Irene during the last few days of August, 2011. We do not have the damage estimates at this moment; however, considering substantial flooding of the historic Fisher House, the Sisterhood Hall and the Center’s Maintenance building; the Memorial Church’s pastoral residence building, two residential properties across the street form the Memorial Church, the collapsed trees and flooding of the Seminary building’s basement – these are only a few examples of what we must face now in repairs and additional non-budgeted projects for this coming Fall season. Our neighbors around the property and the Church’s spiritual Center suffer and in desperate need of assistance. |

A Sad Day in Los Angeles, CA! - 08/18/2011
We ask all who read these words to keep the parish family of St. Andrew, Los Angeles, CA in their prayers during these difficult days. In the early morning hours of 15 August, an intruder broke into the parish Church and desecrated the Holy Altar, Tabernacle, Iconography and the entire altar and sacristy area. The most devastating aspect of this horrendous crime was the scattering of the Reserve Sacrament on the floor among and beneath the various altar crosses, candles and vestments strewn throughout the church. The Holy Altar itself was pulled from its foundation and dragged through the Royal Doors into the nave of the church. It was a senseless act of destruction and obvious anger that left the Church and the neighboring community in much distress. |

The Faith of our Fathers, The Missionary Zeal of the First Century Church! - 08/11/2011
When we look at an overview of the first thousand years of church history, we know that the church was united, yet the faithful had difficulty knowing what to believe and who to follow. The Apostles were the best source of religious and spiritual leadership so many people followed them. In the year 33 AD we find the beginning of the New Testament Church on Pentecost Sunday. St. Peter, standing with the eleven, gave a sermon that converted 3000 souls in Jerusalem. He preached the good news, and wanted them to join him and those who believe in Jesus as the Messiah of God, and to follow the teaching of those who have eye witnessed the events of Christ’s ministry. “Now, at that time, there were visitors, devout men, in Jerusalem. They spoke in different languages being from different parts of the world. The power of the Holy Spirit was all about the city. The people knew Peter was from Galilee and were amazed and marveled on how he could speak to them in their own language. They were perplexed as to what this meant. Shortly after, they were baptized, took part in the prayers and in the breaking of the bread. This was a mass conversion in just one town, Jerusalem. On one day, Pentecost. |

Sixth Sunday after Pentecost and St. Olga Day - 07/20/2011
The omnipotent Lord not only sees all our deeds; He knows our thoughts and all our plans. We cannot hide our inner feelings from God. He sees and knows everything. He is always with us. Regardless if our thoughts are pure or evil or contaminated by temptations of this world, the Lord knows all. Nothing can be hidden from Him. We heard in today’s Gospel lesson about Old Testament teachers who could not hide their thoughts from Jesus. When Jesus healed the paralytic, he said to him: “Son be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you”. |

Then came the breathless moment as the people waited for the bishop and the clergy to start the hymn of Resurrection, which they join him in singing, repeatedly: "Christ is Risen from the Dead, trampling death by death, and to those in the tombs bestowing life,” and then the glorious and most joyful exclamation: CHRIST IS RISEN!

Patriarchal Proclamation for Pascha 2010! - 04/03/2010
Once again, the sacred day of Pascha has dawned in full delight and splendor, dispersing joy, comfort, gladness and assurance of life to all faithful, despite the heavy atmosphere that prevails in our world on account of the multidimensional crisis with all its familiar painful consequences for our daily life. Christ has risen from the tomb as divinely human; and humanity has risen with Him! The tyranny of death belongs to the past. The hopelessness of hades’ captivity has irrevocably gone. The only powerful Giver of life, having through His Incarnation voluntarily assumed all of the misfortune of our nature and all that it entails, namely death, has already “brought death to hades by the lightning of divinity,” granting us life – and “life in abundance.” (John 10.10) |

У суботу, 16 січня, парафіяни церкви Пресвятої Тройці (м. Бенсенвіл) святкували «Маланку», або іншими словами старий Новий рік. Стільки вражень, що й не знаю, з чого почати. Напевно - з найважливішого. Приємним сюрпризом для всіх був приїзд Високопреосвященішого Владики Даниїла. Привітавши присутніх та поблагословивши трапезу, Владика мав можливість поспілкуватися з наймолодшими парафіянами. Діти обступили його і з цікавістю вслухалися в кожне слово. В цей день дітлахів чекало багато цікавих несподіванок. Настоятель храму о. Богдан Калинюк, як і обіцяв, зробив для них справжнє свято: розваги, піца і, звичайно, подарунки.

Скрізь панувала атмосфера миру і добра. Кожен почувався в колі друзів і родини, як у рідній домівці. Адже все довкола, починаючи від маленьких вишиваних подушечок, якими прикрасили ялинку, рушників і квітів, було зроблено руками самих парафіян і прихожан. Милував око новий іконостас - краса і гордість церкви, побудову якого розпочали парафіяни, вкладаючи не тільки свою працю й чималі кошти, але й найцінніше - душу і серце.

Let us, as God's children, shine brightly with the light of Christ before others. Read More> |

The Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple! - 12/04/2008
Today in the Holy Orthodox Church we celebrate the feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple. Leading the procession into the Temple were virgins with lighted tapers in their hands, then the three-year-old Most-holy Virgin, led by her father and mother. The virgin was clad in vesture of royal magnificence and adornments as was befitting the “King’s daughter, the Bride of God” (Psalm 44:13-15). Following them were many kinsmen and friends, all with lighted tapers. Fifteen steps led up to the Temple. Joachim and Anna lifted the Virgin onto the first step, then she ran quickly to the top herself, where she was met by the High Priest Zachariah, who was to be the father of St. John the Forerunner. Taking her by the hand, he led her not only into the Temple, but into the “Holy of Holies,” the holiest of holy places, into which no one but the high priest ever entered, and only once each year, at that.Zachariah “was outside himself and possessed by God” when he led the Virgin into the holiest place in the Temple, beyond the second curtain-otherwise, his action could not be explained. The Most-holy Virgin remained in the Temple and dwelt there for nine full years. While her parents were alive, they visited her often. When God called her parents from this world, the Most-holy Virgin was left an orphan and did not wish to leave the Temple until death or to enter into marriage. The Most-holy Virgin Mary was the first of such life-vowed virgins, of the thousands and thousands of virgin men and women who would follow her in the Church of Christ. Through her intercessions, O Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy upon us, and save us. Amen. Read more> |

Chicago Metropolitan Community to Honor the Memory of the Victims of the 1932-1933 Famine in Ukraine! - 10/13/2008
UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE USA OFFICE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS PRESS RELEASE Chicago Metropolitan Community to Honor the Memory of the Victims of the 1932-1933 Famine in Ukraine! His Grace Bishop Daniel has issued a letter urging the clergy and the faithful of the Chicago Metropolitan area to participate in an Ecumenical service honoring the memory of the victims of the 1932-1933 Famine in Ukraine. The bishop wrote in his letter: "This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Ukrainian famine. During the winter of 1932-33, some ten million Ukrainians living in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) died of forced starvation. They perished during a Genocide Famine engineered by the Soviet government. Although the Genocide Famine in Ukraine is one of the most horrific examples of man’s inhumanity to man ever perpetrated in history, Western society is barely aware of it! Throughout the history of our Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church here in the United Sates of America we have always remembered the victims of this horrific crime against humanity in general and Ukrainians in particular. The very first monument to the victims of the Famine was dedicated at our Church’s spiritual Center in South Bound Brook, NJ – St. Andrew Memorial church. This year, wherever Ukrainians are in the world, our communities mark the 75th anniversary of this tragedy. From Washington, DC to San Francisco, CA – the eternal flame of the Famine has traveled throughout our country, including to South Bound Brook and Chicago, witnessing to people of all ethnic backgrounds and races about the crime against Ukrainian people. On November 15th of this year, the Chicago Metropolitan community will once again honor the memory of the victims of the 1932-1933 Famine in Ukraine. We will gather this year at Holy Name Roman-Catholic Cathedral in Chicago (735 N. State Street) for an Ecumenical Memorial service, honoring the lost lives of millions of Ukrainians. The site has been selected in order to increase awareness in the greater Chicago community, and the world, about the tragedy of Ukrainian people and our history. I am directing you to join me at this ecumenical memorial Panakhyda, which begins at 11:00 a.m. Please arrive no later than 10:30 a.m. so that we can properly prepare for the service. On this day we will honor the memory of our deceased brothers and sisters, who perished only because they were willing to stand up for their rights to own their own small part of God’s green Earth, rather than to submit to the collective farm policy of Josef Stalin. We all know how important the land is to every Ukrainian for sustenance of life. Their brothers and sisters – Ukrainians throughout Ukraine and the world commemorate them and express their gratitude to them for the sacrifice they made. Demographers estimate that had these ten million people not perished – without reason – the population of Ukraine today would be somewhere between 80 and 100 million! Although stifled, the memory of those victims and the memory of the famine festered beneath the surface consciousness of the people of Ukraine and maintained, I believe, regardless of all efforts of the communist regime, maintained a subconscious self-identity, which led to the independence of our nation – an independence achieved without the shedding of blood. The endurance of the horror of the famine – and other almost incredible conditions of life through most of the 20th century – preserved within the conscience and social fabric of the nation – that self-identity which serves as the foundation for building Ukraine today and tomorrow into one of the most important productive and freedom loving nations of the world. So, let us come together in humility on November 15, 2008 to share in prayer and beseech our Lord’s eternal blessings upon us as we commemorate our brothers and sisters, praying that He will grant them eternal rest in a place where there is no more suffering, no more sorrow, no more sickness, but only life eternal for those who perished without reason. We pray that their memory will be eternal." Click here for the poster. |

Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies! - 08/08/2008
Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology Opens Again in September 2008! THE MA IN PASTORAL THEOLOGY is the course which attracts most of our post-graduate students. The full-time MA is taught over one academic year but it may also be pursued part-time for two or more years, up to a maximum of six. (Please note that overseas students seeking entry visas are advised to enrol for the one-year full-time course). The degree is validated by Anglia Ruskin University Our MA students take classes and work together with their colleagues from the other houses of the Cambridge Theological Federation, representing the Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic and United Reformed traditions. In this diverse context IOCS students will be expected to articulate and communicate their Orthodox faith and identity. What is the Orthodox understanding of pastoral care and how is it applied today? How different are the concerns of the Western churches from those of the Orthodox churches? These are questions that Orthodox students will be faced with in an environment of dialogue and intellectual debate. To receive the MA degree a student will have to successfully complete four modules and write a dissertation. The modules include some teaching (usually 2 hours per week) but the main emphasis of the course is on research and essay writing. Assignments are not oral examinations but consist mainly of written essays and class presentations. Research towards MA DissertationThe MA dissertation is the goal and the most important part of the MA programme. It is the result of the student's independent research under academic supervision from the Institute. Students choose their topics according to their individual preferences and academic interests. Everyone is expected to connect their personal experience with the faith of the Orthodox Church as expressed in the patristic heritage and in present practice. The Institute is proud of the achievements of its past MA students most of whom have received distinctions for their dissertations. This success has made our Orthodox house highly regarded in the academic community of theological colleges in Cambridge and we trust it will continue in the future. Orthodox Module (compulsory)Institute students will attend the module 'An Orthodox Approach to Pastoral Life: Liturgical Theology and the Mission of the Church'. This module, taught by IOCS staff and visiting Orthodox lecturers, encourages students to bring the teachings of the Church and the study of the Fathers to bear upon contemporary issues in Orthodox pastoral life. Core Module, Pastoral Theology in History and Practice (compulsory)This module has a special importance for our students since it exposes them to the faith and perspective of other denominations, and most importantly it challenges them to confess their Orthodox identity, faith and traditions to other Christians. The module is taught by the Cambridge Theological Federation of which the Institute is a full member and is followed by all Federation students. It aims to impart the biblical and theological basis for Christian pastoral work - whether that is undertaken formally for a church or informally in everyday life. Independent Learning Module (recommended)In preparation of the dissertation, students are recommended to undertake the 'Independent Learning Module' which allows them to specialise in a chosen area within the field of Orthodox pastoral theology. There are no lectures for this module as it consists solely of the student's independent research and supervision sessions with one of the Institute's tutors. Fourth Module (student's choice)Students are required to choose a fourth module from the ones offered by the Cambridge Theological Federation: Biblical Hermeneutics; Christian Ethics; Christian Worship and Human Community; Christianity in a Scientific Culture; Health Care Chaplaincy; Inter-faith Dialogue; Literature and Pastoral Theology; Modernity, Postmodernity and the Gospel; Preaching in a Pastoral Context; Psychology, Faith and Church Life; The Visual Arts and Pastoral Theology, and others. Study weekends and Summer School (recommended)Students are expected to attend the monthly Study Weekends and the Summer School organized by the Institute as part of its Certificate/Diploma programmes in Orthodox Christian Studies. The Institute invites many prestigious speakers to these courses, and the students have thus the opportunity to listen and meet with renowned Orthodox theologians In-house courses and regular tutorialsThe Institute also offers in-house courses on the History of the Church, Research Methods and Study Skills and on Academic Writing in English which all students are advised to attend. In addition, whenever necessary students will benefit from tutorials, which are one to one sessions with an academic advisor from the Institute. Services and life in the Orthodox communityIt is expected that students will attend the services organized by the Institute, and they are encouraged to take an active part in the Orthodox parishes and in the Orthodox student community in Cambridge. Students also have the opportunity to discuss pastoral, theological and personal matters with the Chaplain of the Institute, whenever necessary. Academic ResourcesStudents will have access to a unique wealth of resources in Cambridge. IOCS has a very fine library which includes the collection of the late Sir Dimitry Obolensky. Besides students have the possibility to consult practically all libraries in town: the Cambridge University Library, the Faculty of Divinity Library, the libraries of the theological colleges members of the CTF and of Anglia Ruskin University. They will be able to improve their languages in view of their subsequent research by attending courses in Greek, Latin or Hebrew offered by the Faculty of Divinity and CTF. Also they will have the opportunity to attend the frequent open lectures offered by the Faculty of Divinity, by the various theological houses in Cambridge and by other faculties. In many ways the Institute could be seen as the gateway through which one enters the world of theological education in Cambridge. Admission criteria and procedureThere are three principal criteria for admission to the MA in Pastoral Theology. Candidates will meet these criteria by evidence either of certified learning or of experiential learning. Candidates should give evidence of prior learning in Theology or Religious Studies. Candidates should give evidence that they could reasonably be expected to work at a level appropriate to a Master's degree (BA or equivalent from a recognised university). An English language proficiency test is required for candidates whose mother tongue is not English.
Applicants are required to complete the standard application form available here. To request a copy in the post please contact the office. FeesThe cost of the degree will be in the region of £3,500 to be paid in advance to the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies. It is also possible to pay on a module by module basis in five instalments. These fees are subject to periodic review. Note should be taken that the same fee will apply both to EU students and to non-EU students. The fee includes all tuition, supervision, and the use of libraries. The fee does not include any accommodation or meals, nor does it include the costs of travel and accommodation incurred for the Placement module. For further information please contact us. |

UPDATED: Consecration of Archimandrite Daniel to Episcopacy! - 04/01/2008
Consistory of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA Office of the President of the Consistory 1 April 2008 TO: PARISH PASTORS AND BOARDS OF ADMINISTRATION RE: NOTES CONCERNING EPISCOPAL CONSECRATION PLANNING Dearly beloved Brothers and Sisters, GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! I write to offer some information about plans for the upcoming Episcopal Consecration of Archimandrite Daniel that we may not have made clear in earlier correspondence or with our invitations. We have had many telephone calls from individuals who have stated that they received no information in their parishes. The invitations sent to the parishes were, indeed, meant to be for the entire membership of the parish. We need to make clear that if members of your parish are planning to participate in the Consecration events, they need to make their plans accordingly. Those planning to participate in this happy occasion should make their reservations for hotel, banquet and bus transportation at the earliest possible time. HOTEL: The room rate is $85.00 + taxes. Reservations are assured if made by 9 April. After that date you will get that rate only if rooms are still available. You must request a room under the “Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA” block. Please do not procrastinate. Hotel contact information: Holiday Inn 6001 Rockside Road Independence, OH 44131 Reservations: National – 1-800-HOLIDAY Hotel Directly – 216-524-8050 BANQUET: Reservations and tickets for the Consecration Banquet should be made by 10 April by sending a check to cover the number of tickets desired to the Consistory. An alternative method for purchasing tickets is to call the Consistory, ask to speak to Natalia Honcharenko and make the purchase with your credit card. Ticket prices are: Adults - $40, Students - $30, Children under the age of ten - $20. It would be very helpful and perhaps more convenient for parish members for some individual in the parish to receive orders and payment for banquet tickets and then to send the order and payment to the Consistory. The group of tickets would then be sent back to this individual for distribution. Tickets are being sold and sent out on a first come-first served basis and we would urge anyone planning to attend to act sooner rather than later because there are only 400 tickets available, which include our complimentary guest tickets. We have some time beyond the 10 April deadline for orders if any tickets remain then, which seems highly unlikely at this point, but, in any case, it would not be wise to wait and hope to get into the banquet on the day of the Consecration. BUS: We have made arrangements for a bus to travel to Parma from the Ukrainian Cultural Center here at the Consistory. The cost for the round trip is $65 per person. The bus will leave at 7 a.m. on Friday, 9 May to arrive in time for the Vespers and Betrothal Service in St. Vladimir Cathedral. Prior to the service the UOL Chapters of the Cathedral will host all out of town guests to a complimentary meal in the Cathedral Social Center. Following the service you will be taken directly to your hotel for a good night’s rest. On Saturday morning you will be transported back to the Cathedral for the Liturgy of Consecration and the Banquet honoring our new hierarch. After the banquet – approximately 4-5 p.m. you will depart for the return trip to New Jersey. Again, there has been heavy interest in this bus service and there are only 55 seats available, so please send a check or call to charge to your credit card for your bus ticket(s) as soon as possible by calling the Consistory to speak with Natalia Honcharenko. We look forward to seeing you all at this glorious event in the life of our Holy Church. You are all in our prayers. In our Lord’s All-encompassing Love, + Antony By the Grace of God, Archbishop Ukrainian Language Translation

Patriarchal Epistle for Great Lent! - 03/07/2008
During this period of Holy and Great Lent, our Church calls us to repentance. Doubtless, as contemporary man hears this invitation to repentance, he does not feel comfortable, because he has accustomed himself to a certain way of life, and does not wish to question his own rectitude. Calling one’s own rectitude into question produces feelings of insecurity, because the ideological structure within which you have sure and certain refuge is clearly risked.

Concerning the Western Eparchy of the UOC of USA - 12/29/2007
COUNCIL OF BISHOPS UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE USA P. O. Box 495 South Bound Brook, NJ 08880 Dearly Beloved Clergy, Monastics and Faithful of our Holy Church, GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! We have passed through the most difficult and passion filled days of the repose and funeral services of our beloved brother and concelebrant in the Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, His Eminence ArchbishopVsevolod, Ruling Hierarch of the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. Following months of serious illness, suffering and pain, His Eminence now rests eternally as we have prayed fervently, in the loving embrace of our Lord, where there is no more pain, no more suffering and no more sorrow. We pray that at the second advent of our Lord, He will surely hear the sweet call we all long for: “Come my beloved, enter into the place prepared for you before the foundation of the world.” We invite you to participation in memorial services on the 40th day following the Archbishop’s repose, which will take place in parishes all throughout our Holy Church on Thursday, 24 January. St. Volodymyr Cathedral, Chicago, the cathedral seat of Archbishop Vsevolod, will be the site of the primary memorial service at 10:00 a.m. in Divine Liturgy and then at 7:00 p.m. on this day with His Eminence Archbishop Antony as primary celebrant. We, your hierarchs, know the sorrow and the emptiness that fills the hearts and souls of those entrusted to Archbishop Vsevolod’s pastoral care and we will not leave you as orphans without the spiritual care and compassion you most certainly need, especially during these difficult days and the initial days and months ahead until a new ruling hierarch is appointed. During this period, Metropolitan Constantine will serve as Locum Tenens of the Eparchy and respond to your spiritual and administrative needs. The Metropolitan is very familiar, as you all know, with Chicago and all the Western Eparchy, having served as the Ruling Hierarch there for the first twenty-four years of his episcopacy until the unification of all Ukrainian Orthodox Christians into our Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA in 1996 and thereafter, the appointment by the Council of Bishops of Archbishop Vsevolod as the new Ruling Hierarch in 1997. We express our most sincere gratitude to the Orthodox hierarchs, the clergy and faithful of our Holy Church and other Orthodox jurisdictions in the USA, to the numerous ecumenical leaders and faithful from around the world, to the representatives of the government of Ukraine and Ukrainian community organizations who participated in the funeral services for Archbishop Vsevolod or sent condolences to our church and the Archbishop’s family during this mournful time. May the soul of our dear brother, Archbishop Vsevolod, rest eternally in the sweet comfort and compassion of our Lord, following his long and fruitful earthly pilgrimage. May our Lord bless and strengthen the members of the Archbishop’s family – his sister Ilaria Majdansky-Krejer, her daughters and their families during the period of mourning making them certain in faith and trust in His Will. May his memory be eternal in God’s Heavenly Kingdom and his prayers in our behalf be answered to our spiritual benefit. We ask that you keep us in your daily prayers, dearly beloved, for it is through those prayers that we are strengthened and enabled in our priestly service in Christ’s Vineyard. We assure you all of our unceasing prayers in your behalf. In our Lord’s all-encompassing Love, + Constantine, Metropolitan + Antony, Archbishop Given this 28th day of December in the Year of our Lord 2007 The Feast of Hiermartyr Eleutherius of Illyria, his Mother Anthia and Martyr Coribus
