Saint Josaphat INTRODUCTION Over the centuries opponents of the This year, the theme of our calendar is Saints of Ukraine , with a particular focus on have tried to tarnish recent saints. We may be familiar with our ancient Saints, but it is a good thing to know the reputation of Saints and destroy that saints don’t belong just to the ancient past. At times it may seem to us that our their relics. St. Thomas Becket was problems and daily lives are too different and complicated from the lives of the ancients, canonized a by Alexander and we don’t have a personal connection. If we remind ourselves of the saints from the III. Becket, as the Catholic recent past and foster a connection to them in our personal lives, especially in prayer, of Canterbury, was murdered by King then the Holy Spirit will certainly grace us with his presence and guidance. Henry II because Becket opposed the King’s attempt to control the Catholic This calendar offers short biographies of some of our martyr saints of the past century Church in England. Becket’s tomb who died for Church unity. The hope is to inspire readers to pray to these saints for became the object of many pilgrimages their help in their daily lives — for peace and unity in families that suffer from where many occurred until disharmony, for communities that are divided, and the Church, East and West, which still the Protestant Reformation. During suffers from disunity. the Protestant Reformation Becket’s tomb was destroyed and his remains Why do we venerate the Saints? were burned. Recently, John Hudson, professor of Medieval History at We should remind ourselves that Catholics venerate the Saints, but adore God. St. Andrew’s University described Becket as being “greedy”, To “venerate” somebody means to hold somebody in high esteem, to honor them. To “hypocritical”, “founder of gesture “adore” means to offer the highest form of worship, honor and homage which we reserved politics” and “master of the for God alone. soundbite.” This same kind of defamation and attempts to destroy So, why do we venerate or honor the Saints? There are two reasons. First, to honor Saints the relics of St. Josaphat also befell is Biblical. our great Saint. The relics of St. Josaphat have a remarkable In the Old Testament the Ten Commandments explicitly command us to “Honor your history which is detailed in the father and your mother.” The saints can be considered to be our fathers and mothers in months of November and December in faith. In the same way that children imitate their parents, Christians should imitate this calendar. the Saints. Martyrdom of Josaphat Kuntsevych , by Jozef Simmler, c. 1861. St. Josaphat was born in 1584 into a In the New Testament St. Paul writes that Christians should offer “respect to whom noble family of the Ruthenian Church respect is due, honour to whom honor is due.” (Rom 13:7) The Saints, while living on (now known as the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church). He became the Archbishop of earth, lived lives that brought glory to God. As their eternal reward they received in 1617 and was martyred on November 12, 1623. He was assassinated and his “unfading crowns of glory.” In the same way that we honor artists, sportsmen, scientists body profaned. His mortal remains were recovered after five days in a river, and exposed who have achieved unequalled success in their field of endeavour, likewise, we honor for nine days, constantly emitting a fragrance of roses and lilies. About five years after Saints who, not unlike artists and sportsmen, have achieved outstanding St. Josaphat’s martyrdom his body was found intact, though the clothing had rotted away. accomplishments in their sanctification. Again in 1637 it was still white and supple. A beautiful silver reliquary was made for it, with a life-size image of the reclining Saint surmounting it. The body was examined and The second reason we venerate Saints, is because they can help us here on earth. found still intact in 1767. Pope Leo XIII canonized St. Josaphat in 1867. His relics were St. Domenic’s last dying words to his brother were: “Do not weep, for I shall be transferred to Rome and interred in St. Peter’s Basilica in 1963. more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life.” St. Therese of Lisieux said similarly: “I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth.”

Did you know , …that in order to celebrate a there must be a special cloth, the antiminsion , on the altar which contains a small relic of a saint sewn into it. The antiminsion can only be consecrated by a bishop and is signed by him before it can be used by a priest. It lies underneath the Gospel book on the altar. It is unfolded during the Divine Liturgy before the Holy Gifts are brought to the altar and they are placed on top of the antiminsion for . A Divine Liturgy cannot be celebrated without it in the Eastern Churches, while in the the relic is placed under the altar or in an altar stone built into the altar itself. The practice of celebrating the Divine Liturgy over the graves of saints stems from the early Church. Some of the earliest churches are actually built over the tombs of saints, such as St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome — the high The relics of St. Josaphat in St. Peter’s altar is built over the burial site of St. Peter.

Priest and Martyr Father Mykola KONRAD was born on May 16, 1876, in the village of Strusiv, District. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1899. He taught in a high school in Berezhany and Terebovlia. Blessed Father Mykola founded Obnova (Renewal), the first Ukrainian association of Catholic students in , in 1929. In 1930 Metropolitan invited him to teach at the Lviv Theological Academy and later appointed him parish priest in the village of Stradch, near Yaniv. There, as in previous years, he showed Fr. M. Konrad his great diligence and responsibility, fulfilling his pastoral duties, in particular, spiritual guidance for youth. Returning from visiting a sick woman, who had requested the sacrament of reconciliation, he died tragically as a martyr for the faith at the hands of the NKVD on June 26, 1941, near Stradch.

Martyr Volodymyr PRYIMA was born on July 17, 1906, in the village of Stradch, District. After graduating from a school for cantors he became the cantor and choir director in the local church. He took active part in the life of his parish. Always and in everything Cantor V. Pryima he respected human dignity and built his life on the principles of the Gospel. On June 26, 1941, agents of the NKVD mercilessly tortured and murdered him along with Father Mykola Konrad. The two martyrs, “Father Konrad went with the holy sacraments to ful fill his sacred obligation, hearing a Pastor Mykola woman’s in the neighbouring village. He felt he had to go, though he was Konrad (above left) stopped. I know that they stopped him and said: ‘Father, don’t go. Look what’s happening: and cantor the war has started, anything could happen.’ He said that this was his sacred duty and he Volodymyr Pryima had to go. He got dressed and left together with Volodymyr Pryima, the cantor. They didn’t (above right) are come back. After a week they were found there, murdered. People thought something was commemorated wrong. So they went to look for them and they found them there. It was awful. The cantor’s inside the Church of wife had two children. One was three, the other was four. Mama told me how when they the Assumption of were found everyone was overcome by what they saw.” — Interview with Yuriy Skavronskyi the Holy Mother of God, in the village Prayer of Thanksgiving of Stradch (left).

We glorify the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and render thanks to You, the Triune God of one essence, for the precious treasure which You deigned to give to our holy princes and teachers, holy priests and monks, confessors and martyrs for the Church of Christ. Their struggles are the source of our strength. Therefore, by honouring their memory we, together with them, beseechingly cry out: Lord, grant that we may all be one, that all the children of Rus’-Ukraine may extol You with one heart and one voice, the only true God, and become worthy of Your eternal bliss in the light that knows no evening.

Embrace us, as the loving father of your little ones, to imitate your example, for your life is a lesson of perfection and heroic sacrifice. Therefore, we ask for your help — strengthen our faith and teach us to love the Lord with all our hearts. To praise the Holy Name of God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit together with the saints, always, now and forever, and forever. Amen.

The Fascinating and Remarkable History of the Relics of St. Josaphat Vienna was heavily bombed during World War II, the remains were moved to the Roman Catholic Church of St. Roche before the arrival of the Soviets. When the area of the — by Father Peter Shumelda Church of St. Roche fell under Soviet control, it was thought prudent to move the remains to the Cathedral catacombs of St. Stephan. Here the remains were kept from It is interesting to observe that enemies of the Catholic 1945 until 1949. Church, in all ages, attempt to destroy not only the good memory of Saints but also their relics. The relics of Continued in December… St. Josaphat have a remarkable history.

In 1627 during the Polish-Swedish war, the relics of St. Josaphat were in danger of being captured by the Swedes. The Swedes, being Protestant, were intent of destroying the relics of St. Josaphat which they considered idolatrous. For some reason the Swedish army abandoned the siege of Polotsk. The local population saw the retreat of the Swedes as the intercession of St. Josaphat.

In 1653 the remains of St. Josaphat were removed from Polotsk and hidden because of the advance of the Russian army.

Divine Liturgy at the altar In 1705 Polotsk was occupied by the Russian army and over the relics of St. Josaphat Tsar Peter personally entered Polotsk wanting to in the Basilica of St. Peter’s. destroy the remains of St. Josaphat. Angered that the remains had been removed and hidden, Tsar Peter savagely massacred three Basilian Fathers.

From 1706 till 1764 the remains of St. Josaphat were kept in a private chapel of the Raduliv family. In 1764 the remains were put behind a brick wall in the crypt of the Raduliv Castle, so that again the Russian army were unable to locate them.

For 43 years the remains of St. Josaphat were walled up in the crypt in a church in Bila Pidlaska.

It should be noted, the of St. Josaphat was delayed by almost a century by the Russian Orthodox Church who published a scurrilous document claiming that St. Josaphat was a despot who caused division among the faithful and who persecuted and oppressed the Orthodox faithful. Given these accusations, the Vatican was fearful to proceed with St. Josaphat’s canonization for almost a century.

In 1915 the remains were rediscovered and the following year moved to Austria. Since НЕД ІЛЯ ПОН ЕД ІЛОК ВІВТОРОК СЕР ЕД АЧЕТВЕР П’ЯТНИ ЦЯ СУБО ТА SUND AY MOND AY TUESD AY WEDNESD AY THURSD AY FRID AY SATURD AY С в я т а

Continued from November… There’s an interesting story of how the relics of St. Josaphat Prayer were smuggled out of the Soviet zone. It is said that the cof fin containing the relics of St. Josaphat were put into a coal truck and covered with coal. In this manner the relics Lord, fill your Church with the Spirit that gave Saint Josaphat courage to lay down his life safely passed scrutiny from the Soviet border guards. for his people and Church unity. By his prayers may your Spirit make us strong and willing to offer our lives for our brothers and sisters. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your At this time Pope Pius XII took a strong interest in the Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and relics of St. Josaphat and decreed that they should be ever. Amen. transported to Rome. This difficult task was undertaken by Rev. Roman J. Nuwer who was an American Military Chaplain stationed in Vienna. Rev. Nuwer arranged for a military plane to transport the remains of St. Josaphat to Rome. The remains were taken into custody by Mons. Giovanni Montini who later became Pope Paul VI.

For a number of years the remains of St. Josaphat were kept in a private chapel in the Vatican and very few people knew about this location. Since the late 1950’s the Ukrainian Basilian Fathers in Rome attempted to have the remains of St. Josaphat transferred to their Curia in Rome to make them available for public veneration in their chapel of Christ the Pantocrator. In the hope of this transfer of relics the Basilian Fathers were able to have St. Barbara Ukrainian Greek the name of the street where their Curia was located Catholic Church in Vienna. renamed to St. Josaphat. The efforts of the Basilian Fathers did not achieve their goal, but in February of 1963 Pope John XXIII agreed to have the relics of St. Josaphat displayed for public veneration in the Basilica of St. Peter’s. In the same year Cardinal Josef Slipyj was released from his imprisonment in Siberia and allowed to participate in the .

Finally, 25 November, 1963, with the participation of Pope Paul VI and the whole Ukrainian Catholic Hierarchy who were present at the Vatican Council, the remains of St. Josaphat were brought out for public veneration and placed at the side altar of St. Basil the Great, a most prestigious location right next to the main altar where the remains of St. Peter the Apostle are kept.

Every year in St. Peter’s Basilica there is a special Divine Liturgy served at the altar over the relics of St. Josaphat on his feast day.
