Exaltation of the Holy Cross Parish Ukrainian Catholic Church 8 EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS PARISH UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH 13753 - 108TH AVENUE, SURREY, BC V3T 2K6 PARISH ADMINISTERED BY: REV. ANDRII CHORNENKYI УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА ЦЕРКВА ПАРАФІЯ ВОЗДВИЖЕННЯ ЧЕСНОГО ХРЕСТА PARISH BULLETIN № 6. FEBRUARY 07, 2016 A.D. SUNDAY OF CHEESEFARE SUNDAY OF FORGIVENESS The Sunday of Forgiveness, the last of the preparatory Sundays before Great Lent, has two themes: it commemorates Adam’s expulsion from Paradise, and it accentuates our need for forgiveness. There are obvious reasons why these two things should be brought to our attention as we stand on the threshold of Great Lent. Lent is a time when we weep with Adam and Eve before the closed gate of Eden, repenting with them for the sins that have deprived us of our free communion with God. But Lent is also a time when we are preparing to celebrate the saving event of Christ’s death and rising, which has reopened Paradise to us once more (Luke 23:43). So sorrow for our exile in sin is tempered by hope of our re-entry into Paradise. The second theme, that of forgiveness, is emphasized in the Gospel reading for this Sunday (Matthew 6:14-21) and in the special ceremony of mutual forgiveness at the end of the Vespers on Sunday evening. Before we enter the Lenten fast, we are reminded that there can be no true fast, no genuine repentance, no reconciliation with God, unless we are at the same time reconciled with one another. A fast without mutual love is the fast of demons. We do not travel the road of Lent as isolated individuals but as members of a family. Our asceticism and fasting should not separate us from others, but should link us to them with ever- stronger bonds.

ANDRII CHORNENKYI УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА ЦЕРКВА ПАРАФІЯ ВОЗДВИЖЕННЯ ЧЕСНОГО ХРЕСТА PARISH BULLETIN № 7. FEBRUARY 21, 2016 A.D. THE SECOND SUNDAY OF THE GREAT FAST SUNDAY OF ST. GREGORY PALAMAS On the 2nd Sunday of Great Lent, the Church opens before us the well-known page of the Holy Gospel about the cure of a paralytic man, who was brought to Christ by his four friends. This is a good example for the fast. The example, that only together people can be saved, supporting each other, loving, believing, helping and then God will help each of us. Because as He himself gets us out from the depth of sin, so He wants us to help each other. Sometimes we can’t help by outward works, but we can help by inner ones, to help by a prayer. Every day prayer for each other, relatives, friends and even for enemies must be pronounced with such persistence and love as those people, carrying a paralytic man, tried to get into the house where Christ was. On the 2nd Sunday of the Great Fast the Church commemorates Saint Gregory Palamas. It was St. Gregory who bore living witness that men can become divine through the grace of Lord in the Holy Spirit; and that even in this life, by prayer and fasting, human beings can become participants of the uncreated light of God’s divine glory. “Absence of passions and the possession of virtue constitute love for God; for hatred of evil, resulting in the absence of passions, introduces in its place the desire for and acquisition of spiritual blessings.

  • Lent Discipline and History
    LENT: DISCIPLINE AND HISTORY St. Peter Catholic Church Faith Fact March 2014 ISSUE: How did Lent arise? What is its current discipline, and what is its history? DISCUSSION: In 1741, a year after his election to the See of Peter, Pope Benedict XIV wrote eloquently on the importance of Lent: The observance of Lent is the very badge of the Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of the Cross of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help. Should mankind grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God’s glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe.[1] At the beginning of His public life, Jesus was tempted for 40 days in the desert (Mt. 4:1–11; Mk. 1:12–13; Lk. 4:1–13). “By the solemn 40 days of Lent,” the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert.”[2] The Church has also officially set aside this time as a season of penance: The seasons and days of penance in the course of the liturgical year (Lent, and each Friday in memory of the death of the Lord) are intense moments of the Church’s penitential practice.

ANDRII CHORNENKYI УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА ЦЕРКВА ПАРАФІЯ ВОЗДВИЖЕННЯ ЧЕСНОГО ХРЕСТА PARISH BULLETIN № 8, FEBRUARY 28, 2016 A.D. THE THIRD SUNDAY OF THE GREAT FAST VENERATION OF THE HOLY CROSS On the 3rd Sunday of Lent we celebrate the veneration of the honorable and Life -Giving Cross. As we have “crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Gal. 5:24), and will have mortified ourselves during these forty days of the Fast, the precious and life- giving Cross is now placed before us to refresh our souls and encourage us who may be filled with a sense of bitterness, resentment, and depression. The Cross reminds us of the Passion of our Lord, and by presenting to us His example, it encourages us to follow Him in struggle and sacrifice, being refreshed, assured, and comforted. In other words, we must experience what the Lord experienced during His Passion - being humiliated in a shameful manner. The Cross teaches us that through pain and suffering we shall see the fulfillment of our hopes: the heavenly inheritance and eternal glory. As they who walk on a long and hard way and are bowed down by fatigue find great relief and strengthening under the cool shade of a leafy tree, so do we find comfort, refreshment, and rejuvenation under the Life-giving Cross, which our Fathers “planted” on this Sunday. Thus, we are fortified and enabled to continue our Lenten journey with a light step, rested and encouraged.
