She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” (Lk. 10: 38-42; 11: 27-28) (continued on next page) AUGUST 11, 2013 2 Feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God (continued from previous page) The Feast of the as all of us are saved of the Apostles were bier.

Iwan Dacko, F. Oleh Turii It is general knowledge that the year 1989 marked a significant change in the public life of Eastern European countries. Ukraine was no exception. After the celebrations of the millennium of Baptism of Kyivan Rus’ (1988) one can even speak of a resurrection (Keleher 1993; 1997, Gudziak 1997, p. 49–72) of political, and particularly reli- gious life in Ukraine, which ultimately lead to the proclamation of its independence on 24 August 1991 and disintegration of Soviet Union. When we compare statistics they speak for themselves. In 1985 there were 16 religious confessions registered in the Ukrainian SSR, whereas in 2011 the number had risen to 120. In 1985, on the other hand, 6.2 thousand religious communities were oYcially recorded in Ukraine, whereas in 2011 they were 34.5 thousand, tendency increasing (Tserkva i suspil’stvo 2000–2001, p. 207)1. Objectively one has to admit that with such increase, there were tensions and conflict situations within these communities. This fact has been widely noted, especially among the Western mass media, frequently exaggerated and overestimated on all sides. Furthermore, there were and are tendencies to overemphasize these facts and politicize them. Today, however, after more than twenty years, we dare to express the opinion that basically it was, and still is the search towards self identification, or rather identity, of each religious community.

  • Boletim Nº 33
    E d i t o r i a l Com maior ou menor sabedoria, o ser humano se defronta com as mais diversas facetas de sua existência: o nascimento, a infância, a adolescência, a juventude, a vida adulta, a velhice e a morte. Todas essas fases passam pelo desenvolvimento às vezes mais harmonioso, muitas vezes dramático e conflituoso. São tantas as condições e situações pessoais, sociais, ambientais e históricas que caracterizam e colorem a vida humana. Sem dúvida, a morte é uma das experiências mais dramáticas para a vivência humana. O povo simples diz: “a morte é a verdade mais verdadeira”, ninguém dela escapa. É normalíssima a morte de uma pessoa idosa, que viveu sua vida e cumpriu sua missão aqui na terra. O problema são as mortes absurdas, antes do tempo, a morte antes do nascimento, a morte por causa da fome ou por causa da violência, o suicídio, a morte das guerras, a morte no trânsito irresponsável e louco... Num olhar metafísico, transcendental, teológico, a morte é uma realidade envolta num profundo mistério, diante do qual são apresentadas inúmeras explicações, dependendo da cultura e da religiosidade de cada povo ou indivíduo. Para os céticos, com a morte acaba tudo. Para os crentes, especificamente os cristãos, a morte é simplesmente a passagem para outra dimensão, para outra vida. O mistério pascal é a passagem da morte para a vida, tal qual o vivenciou Jesus Cristo, ressuscitando e assim abrindo o caminho para nós, seus seguidores. Se com ele vivemos e morremos, com ele ressuscitaremos para a vida eterna, nos ensina o Apóstolo São Paulo.

  • Adult Catechism Class January 25, 2016 the Ukrainian Catholic
    Adult Catechism Class January 25, 2016 The Ukrainian Catholic Church in our Modern World Part 1: Scripture Readings: Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 9:37-38: Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” John 10:14-16: I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. Part 2: What is the Ukrainian Catholic Church? In simplistic terms, the Ukrainian Catholic Church (also known as the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) is a part of the Catholic Church that observes the same traditions as does Eastern Orthodoxy. It is, however, very much part of the Catholic Church. The head of the Universal Catholic Church, and hence the Ukrainian Catholic Church, is Pope Francis. The Ukrainian Catholic Church world-wide is governed internally by the Synod of Ukrainian Catholic Bishops; its highest ranking cleric is Patriarch (Major Archbishop) Sviatoslav Shevchuk.

    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XII Issue No. X November 2016 A Litany of Thanksgiving n the Gospel of Luke (17:11-19) Jesus cures ten lepers. Saint Luke Ireports that … “One of them, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks…he was a Samaritan.' Jesus remarks, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?'” Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with appeals for us to thank God. Psalm 118 instructs us, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!" The Scriptures even tell us why we should be thankful to the Lord: Because "His steadfast love endures forever!" In the United States for almost four hundred years, there has been a celebration of thanks in November. The first is recorded in November of 1621. From our earliest years as a people, and before we were even an independent country, we have offered public thanksgiving for the gifts of the Lord. To be thankful is not just a polite word to say at Thanksgiving every year. Giving thanks to Almighty God is much more and should be a daily acknowledgment by all of us. We should never take God's gifts and other people’s kindness for • for those things seen and unseen; granted. • for human life, from the womb to the tomb– among the greatest of God's gifts; We speak of a "litany" of thanksgiving.

    APRIL, 2018 EASTERN CHURCHES NEWS: EDITED BY FR. RON ROBERSON SEIA NEWSLETTER On the Eastern Churches and Ecumenism Number 271: April 30, 2018 Washington, DC The Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate Considers Requests for Ukrainian Autocephaly PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE PETRO POROSHENKO ON TUESDAY, APRIL 17, ANNOUNCED THE START OF THE PROCEDURE FOR THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH. The relevant agreement was reached at 7-hour long negotiations between Poroshenko and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Synod members held during a presidential visit to Turkey, Poroshenko said at a meeting with heads of parliamentary factions on Tuesday. "Ukraine is as close as ever to the emergence of its own Unified Orthodox Church," the president said, adding that he cannot elaborate on all details of the agreements reached. A number of elements are needed for the process to see success, including, a corresponding appeal from UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate and Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which has already been signed to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in a rare united move of the two churches, according to Poroshenko. Poroshenko expressed hope that the new UOC would be created before the 1030th anniversary of baptism of the Kyiv Rus and called on Parliament to support the appeal to Constantinople. The president called the developments around a possible creation of a United Orthodox Church which would not be subordinate to Moscow a "historic event." The president ruled out the possibility of banning any other churches in Ukraine and noted that the state will remain separated from church. – Unian, April 17. TODAY, APRIL 19, UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS UPHELD THE PETITION OF PETRO POROSHENKO TO THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH ASKING HIM TO GRANT THE TOMOS OF AUTOCEPHALY TO THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN UKRAINE.
