  • To Lead by Listening to the Lord and My Brothers and Sisters Interview with Bishop Borys Gudziak
    To lead by listening to the Lord and my brothers and sisters Interview with Bishop Borys Gudziak On February 18, the Holy See announced that Pope Francis, accepting the recommendation of the Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), has appointed Bishop Borys Gudziak as Metropolitan and Archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia. For the previous six years Bishop Borys was eparch of the Eparchy of St. Volodymyr in Paris, serving the Ukrainian Greek Catholic faithful in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. We asked him to describe his reactions to the nomination, summarize the years of his service in the Paris Eparchy, and articulate his hopes and dreams for a new mission in the land of his birth. What was your reaction to the decision of the Synod and of the Holy Father nominating you to the Philadelphia Archeparchy? Allow me to be open with you. The nomination—and everything that it entails—provokes deep thoughts and sentiments. The first is gratitude and first to God. As I —hopefully—mature as a human being I am increasingly drawn by the mystery of our God in Three Persons. This may be daring—but Iwant to be in the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit… My central belief is that the Son came into this breathtaking yet often frail human race to be with me and you, even in death, to bring us home to the Father. The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus and our salvation in Christ for me are ever more awesome and inspiring… The guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit give me more hope and joy.

However, a number of regions experienced setbacks due to a hardened and increasingly shrewd authoritarian response to these move- ments. While the number of countries ranked as free in 2012 was 90, a gain of three over the previous year, 27 countries showed significant declines, compared with 16 that showed notable gains. This is the seventh consecutive year that Freedom in the World has shown more declines than gains worldwide.

Yet state officials, diplomats and thou- sands of Catholics from Ukraine and abroad – including hundreds of Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) students and graduates – packed St. George Cathedral in Lviv on August 26 to witness the consecra- tion of the Rev.

The cathedral’s tightly packed crowd – in which it was difficult for even politicians to get up front – reflected the profound effect that Bishop Borys, who turns 52 in November, has had on Ukrainian higher education during his 10-year tenure as UCU rector.
