We are continuing with our sermon series on three great Ukrainian Catholic bishops in the 20th century. Last week, we focused on Patriarch Josyf Slipyj. This week we will look at Blessed Nicholas (Mykola) Charnetsky. On November 1st, I will prepare a longer sermon devoted to the Servant of God Andrew Sheptytsky, dealing with his incredible, holy and monumental life. Bl. Nicholas Charnetsky was the eldest of nine children, born in 1884 in western Ukraine. Known for his sharp mind, piety and humility, he eventually left his responsibilities as a diocesan preist and seminary professory in order to join the Redemptorist order in his mid-30’s. He did not use the excuse of his priestly status or his doctorate in Dogmatic Theology as an excuse to avoid the humble assignments given to those in a novitiate. He treated all with difference and great respect, becoming a true servant to all, even though he excelled others in every category. Becoming a bishop in the 1930’s, he labored to unite the flock of Christ and won over many people by his selflessness and hard work among the common poor. He endured over 600 hours of interrogation and torture at the hands of the KGB, along with a long sentence to hard labor in Siberia. A source of goodness and kindness to all in the prisons, the Soviet authorities ended up transferring him to about thirty prisons in Siberia in order to lessen his influence among the populace. Today’s bulletin is larger than usual. I will be including in upcoming bulletins a weekly feature on a particular book of the Bible. This week we will focus on some of the first books of the Bible Sincerely, Jason, priest and sinner PS: This weekend we have a number of birthdays. Please make a point of wishing a happy birthday to Michalina Pituch, Borys Bednarchuk and Steve Zinski! PSS: We will have an All Saints party after 11am Liturgy on Sunday, November 1st in the church hall. Make sure your children come dressed as their favorite saints.

Sunday Gospel Reading Gospel According to St. Luke 8:5-15 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15 And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience. Євангеліє від Св. Луки 8:5-15 5 Ось вийшов сіяч, щоб посіяти зерно своє. І, як сіяв, упало одне край дороги, і було повитоптуване, а птахи небесні його повидзьобували.6 Друге ж упало на ґрунт кам'янистий, і, зійшовши, усохло, не мало бо вогкости.7 А інше упало між терен, і вигнався терен, і його поглушив.8 Інше ж упало на добрую землю, і, зійшовши, уродило стокротно. Це сказавши, закликав: Хто має вуха, щоб слухати, нехай слухає!9 Запитали ж Його Його учні, говорячи: Що визначає ця притча?10 А Він відказав: Вам дано пізнати таємниці Божого Царства, а іншим у притчах, щоб дивились вони і не бачили, слухали і не розуміли.11 Ось що означає ця притча: Зерно це Боже Слово.12 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.13 А що на кам'янистому ґрунті, це ті, хто тільки почує, то слово приймає з радістю; та кореня не мають вони, вірують дочасно, і за час випробовування відпадають.14 А що впало між терен, це ті, хто слухає слово, але, ходячи, бувають придушені клопотами, та багатством, та життьовими розкошами, і плоду вони не дають.15 А те, що на добрій землі, це оті, хто як слово почує, береже його в щирому й доброму серці, і плід приносять вони в терпеливості.

  • May 30, Our Church Honors the Memory of the Blessed Martyr Bishop Nicholas Charnetsky
    May 30, our Church honors the memory of the Blessed Martyr Bishop Nicholas Charnetsky On Sunday, May 30 our church honors the memory of the Blessed Martyr Bishop Nicholas Charnetsky. Mykolay (Nicholas) Charnetsky was born to a large and pious peasant family on December 14, 1884, in the Western Ukrainian village of Semakivka. Mykolay was the eldest of nine and received his primary education in the village of Tovmach before entering St. Nicolas Gymnasium in Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk). Charnetsky discovered his vocation to the priesthood at a young age and soon declared his intention of becoming a priest. In 1903 Bishop Hryhoriy Khomyshyn sent him to Rome for studies. On October 2, 1909,during Charnetsky’s short visit to Ukraine, Bishop Hryhoriy Khomyshyn ordained him to the priesthood. Fr. Mykolay then returned to Rome to continue his studies and received a Doctorate in Theology. Fr. Charnetsky started as professor of Philosophy and Dogmatic Theology at the Stanislaviv seminary beginning in fall 1910. He was also the seminary’s spiritual director. Deep in his heart, however, Fr. Mykolay longed for monastic life. Hence, in October 1919, he entered the Redemptorist novitiate in Zboiska, near Lviv, and professed vows one year later October 16, 1920. Eager to work for the reconciliation of Christians and to convert the spiritually abandoned, the Redemptorists of the Lviv Province founded a missionary center in 1926 at Kovel in the Volyn Region. Fr. Charnetsky, being an ardent missionary, was sent there. Very soon he gained the utmost respect of the local people and even that of the Orthodox clergy.

He was born on June 1, 1903 in his family home on Lypova Avenue in the city of Stanislaviv (now Ivana-Frankisk) in Western Ukraine. His birth was difficult, perhaps a foreshadowing of the life of suffering that was to be his lot. His mother Anna (nee) Teodorowych and his father Rev. Volodymyr Velychkovsky gave him the name of Vasyl Vsevolod. He was baptized in the Cathedral Church in Stanislaviv where his father was employed.
