DECEMBER 15, 2019 3 Archeparchy News Христос раждається! Dear Sisters and Brothers! I thank you all for the warmth and welcome that you have extended to me in my first months of service to you. I am deeply moved and inspired by your kindness. Together with the Lord who comes to us through His Nativity we can overcome our personal and common challenges. Indeed, we live in unsettled times when much in society and the Church itself seems to be coming unglued. There is a devastating war in Ukraine. Our culture is increasingly superficial, vulgar, and violent. People and peoples are increasingly in conflict. Do not lose hope! The world that the Son of God came into was far from peaceful and welcoming. As we sing in the Ukrainian carols—Jesus was not born in a royal palace. He immediately encountered cold misery in a smelly, insect and rat infested stable. Bloody violence against children led his earthly guardians, Mary and Joseph, to flee with him as refugees to a distant foreign land. Christ the homeless, Jesus the refugee, the helpless Infant pursued by a tyrant is in full solidarity with our human suffering and loneliness—from day one! З нами Бог! God is with us—you and me. He will never abandon us as we seek to live in holiness, dignity, and mutual love. May the peace and joy of this mystery fill your hearts and homes this Christmas. Thank you for welcoming me! You will be in my prayers this Nativity and throughout the New Year. May God bless you!

During his opening remarks, Bishop Andriy highlighted the figure of John the Baptist, whose feast of beheading is celebrated on September 11th, according to Julian calendar. He stressed that in this feast everyone is reminded about the call to live life in the truth and according to the Gospel. Afterwards, Auxiliary Bishop led those present with him in the church as well those who were tuned in in the livestream through the prayer of the rosary. They mediated on the glorious mysteries of the rosary: Resurrection of the Lord, Ascension into Heaven, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption and the Coronation of the Mother of God in heaven. The prayer of the rosary was concluded by the hymn “It is truly right to bless You, O God-bearing One”. In closing, Bishop Andriy thanked the children and faithful who joined him today.
