This year is the 88th anniversary of the UNA's official organ, Svoboda, the 48th of The Ukrainian Weekly and the 28th of the Yeselka children's magazine. At the 30th Convention of the UNA, which will take place six years before the historic 1,000th anniversary of the advent of Christianity in Ukraine, we should make appropriate decisions to participate in the celebrations of this event. The Ukrainian National Association now finds itself in a pre-convention year. The Supreme Auditing Committee calls on you, especially during this year, to follow in the footsteps of our pioneers, who succeeded in building the UNA and laying the foundation of this, the largest Ukrainian organization in the United States and in the free world, to do all possible to make the pre- convention organizing campaign a success so that the UNA's membership ranks can grow. The Ukrainian National Association faces great and important tasks! Help the UNA in its important, difficult and essential service to the Ukrainian community and the enslaved yet undefeated Ukrainian nation in Ukraine! Detailed reports of this year's audit, along with conclusions and recommendations, will be presented by the Supreme Auditing Committee to the Supreme Assembly at its annual meeting.

On Sunday, May 10, Mother's Day, the Catholic Church will celebrate the 18th World Day of Prayer for vocations. Our Lord Jesus Christ chose to entrust the task of evangelizing mankind to a On Mother's Day handful of men, lacking, in our eyes, in both number and quality. He bade this "little flock" not to lose heart (Lk. 12:32), for, with His contant assistance (Mt. Motherhood has never been easy. (Just ask this writer's mother). 28:20), they would overcome the world (Jn. 16:33). From the very beginning, it has been a difficult job. The harvest of God's kingdom is great, but, as in the beginning, the laborers are The moment a doctor slaps a baby's rear, bringing it wailing into the scarce. Actually, they were never as numerous as human standards would judge world, the mother is charged with the enourmous responsibility of adequate. Christ reminds us of this when he bids us to beg the Lord of the harvest to mustering all her resources to guide it through childhood into send out laborers to gather His harvest (Mt. 9:37-38). adulthood. ironically, her task is to guide her child — so dependent on These words apply today as much as they did in our Lord's time, in our dioceses her love and care - toward independence, toward the point when it in the United States, where the need for sufficient priests is felt so acutely, we affirm must leave her side, though not her heart. with sorrow and fear the truth of these words of Jesus Christ: "The fieldsar e shining for harvest!"

The new priests ordained annually are too few to fill the Moreover, the roles of motherhood are not constant; the path of parishes vacated by those who die. Seeing this, we fearfully ask, if the present trend motherhood runs full circle.

With the toddling stage, there is the people to enter the ranks of the clergy and the sisterhood; they have printed constant scurrying to keep the ever-curious child from scampering into literature promoting vocations; they "have sent priests to parishes to seek out any danger, a full-time job in itself. Then, there are baby's tamper promising candidates; they have increased their subsidy of the seminaries so that they now stand second to no other. Despite this, very few of our young people have tantrums to endure. heeded the call of Christ. Granted, every young man or woman is not called, but we After all this, with the baby just out of swaddling clothes (or so it know that there is a sufficient number called in every generation to answer the needs seems), the mother must brace herself for the often frustrating of the Church. Why should it be otherwise for our Ukrainian Church? Why is it that challenge of enduring her child's adolescence, the awkward time outjoung people choose to serve "other gods," enrolling in academic areas which between childhood and maturity.

Why? Their reasons are varied and many, but most But when the mother becomes a grandmother, the road has run full frequently heard is that the priesthood is a poorly compensated profession. They circle. The maternal instincts are rekindled, as she looks after her forget about the words of Our Lord: "Do not gather up for yourselves treasures grandchildren with the wisdom of experience, and the same tender here on earth, where moth and rust consumes, and thieves break in and steal. But care that she gave her child. gather up for yourselves in heaven where neither moth and rust consume, nor So today. Mother's Day, we salute and honor our mothers, as they thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" honor their mothers, all the way down the line. We thank them for (Mt. 6, 19ff). their ordeals and triumphs in bringing us along, and we acknowledge if,despite the efforts of our bishops and the work of the parish priests, campaigns their love with ours. As the old Jewish saying goes, "God could not be for vocations have not had great success, the solution must lie elsewhere. Perhaps it everywhere, and therefore he made mothers." is because although we heard the words of our Savior, we did not heed them. Listen to them again: "Pray the Lord of the harvest, that He send laborers into the harvest!" it would seem that we have relied too much on human endeavors, forgetting that in the matter of vocations, it is the Lord Himself who. has the final word. Thus, it is not surprising that Jesus Christ did not tell his disciples to work for vocations, but rather told them to pray for vocations. vocation means renunciation; it means sacrifice; it means preferring inner peace to external self-indulgence; it means choosing an austere course seeking constant perfection instead of the complacency of a comfortable and meaningless mediocrity; it means the capacity to heed the imploring voices of souls in need, of those who suffer, who can find no peace, no rest, who look for guidance and thirst for love, and to ignore the flattering, seductive voices of pleasure and selfishness; it means to understand the hard but glorious mission of the Church, needed now, more than ever, to teach man his true nature, his role on earth, his end and his fate; it means to be young, no matter one's age; to have a clear eye arid a big heart — in other words, it means an imitation of Christ. No other prosprect of life offers an ideal more true, more generous, more human, more holy than the humble and faithful vocation to the priesthood of Christ. (Pope Paul vi, address on seminaries and vocations.) The mystery of vocations pertains solely to God, and we cannot have any doubt at all that God will provide for the good of His Church, for He promised His presence and assistance until the end of time. The cause of the present situation of vocations in the world lies, dear parents, in ourselves, in ourselves, not in our young. Their generosity is no less today than before. We have faith in them. They are open to great ideals; they are hungry for the genuine and abhor the false; and they are ready to give unstintingly of themselves for their fellow man. There are numberous youthful souls who are capable of responding with greatness of soul to a call from God. The very quality of the young men who are being ordained in the Church today is good reason for our hope, in his 18th World Day.of Prayer message. Pope John Paul H writes"May each local church hear in these words of mine a fresh invitation from Christ to pray the Lord of the harvest 'to send our laborers into His harvest' (Mt. 9:38; Lk. 10:2). And so, dear brothers and sons and daughters, let us join in a prayer as wide as the world, as strong as our faith, as persevering as the love that the Holy Spirit has poured out into our hearts. " Let us praise the Lord, who has enriched His Church with the gift of the priesthood, with the many different forms of consecrated life and with numberless (Continued on psge 15) No. із THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, MAY 10,1981 „^^Z Book notes The radio war by Rep.
