JUNE 2, 2019 4 Archeparchy News The Coat of Arms of Archbishop and Metropolitan Borys Gudziak

The coat uses a laconic modern reflecting the semiotics of a contemporary logo.

The Trinitarian, Christocentric, Eucharistic, and Old-Kyivan accents are clearly discernible. The coat of arms is not in the form of a militaristic shield, but of a chalice as symbol of the Pascal bloodless sacrifice.

The trident, the main element, is a sign of St. Volodymyr the Great’s acceptance in 988 of the faith in the Triune God and symbolizes the fullness of Divinity. Its crimson color represents the sacrifice of Christ, the martyrs, and wine of the Eucharistic.

Gold is the color of Divinity and of bread. The Son of God becomes man and sheds his blood, accepting death on the cross to witness in this world to God’s eternal love and glory.

The cross in the center symbolizes the Savior’s Easter victory. Through the Cross – to the Resurrection. This devotion to Christ and the Cross is shown by the princes and passion- bearers Sts. Borys and Hlib, sons of Volodymyr, representatives of the first generation of the of Rus’-Ukraine, and the first canonized on Kyivan land. Their bowed heads – vivid fraternal benevolence – exemplify an interpersonal relationship of harmony, peace, and joy, reflecting the interpersonal love in the Holy .

The motto Ευχαριστώ (“thank you” in Greek) stands for both the Eucharistic sacrifice and gratitude for the grace and generosity of God.

Give from the Heart for the Inauguration of Ministry of Archbishop Borys Gudziak

Glory to Jesus Christ!

The Ukrainian Catholic community in the United States is rejoicing at the news that Pope Francis has appointed a new Metropolitan-Archbishop for the Archeparchy of Philadelphia on February 18, 2019.

A native of Syracuse, NY, Bishop Borys Gudziak, will be formally enthroned on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 in the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia, PA. You are cordially invited to join us for this moment of prayer, communion and outreach, uniting bishops, clergy, religious and faithful as brothers and sisters in Christ.

I am writing to you today to ask you to help us raise money for the start of Archbishop Borys’s ministry. An eight-day period of events is planned for his enthronement in thanksgiving to God for providing our Archeparchy with a new spiritual shepherd. This program named “Heart to Heart” will take place in Philadelphia, PA and in Washington, DC from June 2nd to 9th. It should spiritually encourage participants in an enduring way and be capacity building for the archeparchy:

•Praying for the Descent of the Holy Spirit to foster our relationship with God and our neighbor— “Heart to Heart”;

•Promoting and nurturing relations within the Archeparchy and Metropolia, with the Archdiocese in Philadelphia, the city’s Ukrainian-Americans and with the local community at large, with our brothers and sisters from other eparchies, countries, rites, and Churches;

•Engaging the youth “heart to heart,” putting young people at the center of the Church’s mission. Recognizing the rich legacy of our ancestors and handing it on, enhanced, to a new generation.

JUNE 2, 2019 44 Catechism Liturgical Vestments of the Bishop The outer liturgical vestment of the bishop is the sakkos (from the Greek, meaning sackcloth). It symbolizes the authority of the bishop—the servant of Christ—to lead God’s people by the example of repentance. Over the sakkos the bishop wears the omophorion (from the Greek meaning to carry on the shoulder). This is a sign that as a good shepherd following the example of Christ, the bishop cares for his spiritual flock and seeks out the lost sheep (see Mt 18:12). The epigonation (from the Greek meaning on the knee), a stiff diamond-shaped cloth worn by the bishop on his right side, indicates the “spiritual sword” which is God’s Word (see Eph 6:17). It is a sign of the bishop’s teaching authority. On his head the bishop wears a mitre (from the Greek, meaning headband) which indicates the spiritual authority that he receives from the heavenly King.

To the bishop’s emblems belong also the staff, the panagia, and the mantle. The staff is a sign of pastoral service, which entails leading and defending the flock. The enkolpion (from the Greek, meaning on the breast) or panagia (from the Greek, meaning all-holy, referring to the Mother of God) is a round icon of the Savior or the Mother of God. The bishop wears it on his breast as a sign of his fervent and public confession of the faith. The bishop wears a mantia (cape) as a sign that he is wholly consecrated to God and to sacrificial service to the Church. It is characterized by tablets (images of the Old and New Testaments), from which stream colored ribbons (called rivers)—signs of consecration to God and the mission to teach, sanctify, and lead the .

``In our tradition, the liturgical vestments of the sacred ministers are `of different colors, depending on the nature of the celebration. White `or gold vestments are used for feasts of the Lord, blue for the Mother of `God, green for Pentecost, and deep red (or violet) are used for Great Lent `and funeral services. Christ, Our Pascha, 637-639

The sakkos is a vestment worn by Greek Catholic and Orthodox bishops instead of the priest's phelonion. The garment is a tunic with wide sleeves, and a distinctive pattern of trim. It reaches below the knees and is fastened up the sides with buttons or tied with ribbons.

In the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox liturgical tradition, the omophorion (Greek: μοφόριον, meaning "[something] borne on the shoulders"; Ukrainian омофор, omophor) is the distinguishing vestment of a bishop and the symbol of his spiritual and ecclesiastical authority.

The epigonation (Greek: πιγονάτιον, literally meaning "over the knee") is a vestment used in some Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches. (continued on next page)

JUNE 2, 2019 51 Holidays/Feast Day The Sending Down of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles after Christ was glorified in his Resurrection and ascended into heaven, and enthroned at the right hand of the Father. Made worthy to receive the Holy Spirit, the apostles become “new tablets of grace, truly inscribed by God, living scrolls initiated into his mysteries, holding the word of salvation written with the finger of the Father.” Fulfilled are the words of John the Baptist about the expected Savior: He will baptize “with the Holy Spirit and with fire” (Lk 3:16).

The Holy Spirit grants understanding among peoples, overcoming alienation and divisions planted by sin. These are described in the Old Testament in the image of the tower of Babylon (see Gn 11:1-9). The Spirit prepares all nations of the world to encounter Christ: And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power (Acts 2:8-11).

The Holy Spirit teaches the apostles what to say (see Acts 4:8-12). That same Spirit directs them to listen more to God than to people (see Acts 4:19). The apostles are inspired by the Holy Spirit to preach Christ boldly: “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31). The Spirit leads them to preach even among the Gentiles, overcoming human reservations (see Acts 10:9-20). The Holy Spirit, Who descended upon the apostles, builds the Church of Christ: “Pour out now the power which has its origin in you, the sovereign Spirit, whom you have given to your beloved Son Christ, and that He has handed on to the apostles who built the Church.” The apostles profess the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Church at the Council in Jerusalem: “It has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us...” (Acts 15:28).

The Holy Spirit fashions the Church and gives life to Her as the Body of Christ, making Her the place of salvation: “For where the Church is, there is the Spirit of God; and where the Spirit of God is, there is the Church.” All people are called to the Church, “from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages” (Rev 7:9; see Rev 14:6), regardless of culture and background. It is this same Spirit within the Church who reveals to Christians the very mystery of salvation: “For progress in the knowledge of truth we give thanks to that divine and magnificent Spirit, the Author and Leader of the Church.” Catechism of the Ukrainian Catholic Church - Christ, Our Pascha, 261-265
