Head of the UGCC at the meeting of Pope Francis with the Synod of Bishops of the UGCC

We came here because we aspire to be a Synod, – Head of the UGCC at the meeting of Pope Francis with the Synod of Bishops of the UGCC

Tuesday, 03 September 2019

On September 2 at 11:30 the bishops of the Synod of the UGCC met with Holy Father Francis at the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican (Sala del Concistoro). On behalf of the Synod of Bishops, the Blessed Svyatoslav, the Head and Father of the UGCC, addressed the Holy Father.

“Every time our bishops gather for synodal work, we are aware that our work, our reflections and pastoral ministry are carried out in full and visible unity with the Holy Father,” said His Beatitude to the Pope at the beginning of his speech.

“Usually our communion is expressed in the so-called” letters of communion, “said the Head of the UGCC,” but this time we are experiencing it in the context of a personal meeting, thus proving that this communion is not a dead letter, but a breath of the Holy Spirit, living and living. ; hearing the Word of the Father; the personal experience of the Pope’s parental concern for the Ukrainian Church. ” His Beatitude Sviatoslav introduced to Pope Francis the members of the Synod who “came from all over the world” and the guests who took part in the work of the Synod. He also thanked the Holy Father for the creation of an Apostolic Exarchate for Ukrainian Greek Catholics in Italy.

Quoting the words of the Holy Father that “it is not enough to have a Synod, but to be a Synod,” which the Bishop of Rome said at a meeting with metropolitans and members of the Permanent Synod on July 5, His Beatitude said: “We came here for this.”

“Each bishop and our community members brought with them to Rome the pain and hope of the people of God entrusted to our pastoral care. We want to be a Synod not only during our working meetings, but also when we return to our communities! ”- said the Head of the UGCC.

This desire to “be a Synod” is blessed by His Beatitude Svyatoslav in “a synodal walk with the clergy, our faithful, men and women, children and youth, who live in different cultures and countries, speak different languages ​​and belong to different peoples.”

“Walking together, however, as the Eastern Catholic Church of its own right, the Church is global, alive and open to all,” – said His Beatitude Sviatoslav, the theme of this year’s Synod: “Communion and unity in the life and testimony of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church today” .

The head of the UGCC assured Pope Francis that our Church is aware that “it is not enough to have a good and rich tradition that preserves the millennial memory of the Church of Kiev, the undivided Church of the first millennium in communion with the Roman Church. It is necessary to live this tradition in an authentic way and to be able to convey to modern man its essence, the heart of the Apostolic tradition is the possibility of a personal meeting with the living Christ, who through the action of the Holy Spirit is still present in the Church today and walks with us the paths of the modern world. ”

His Beatitude Sviatoslav also assured the Holy Father that our Church throughout the world prays for him, supports him, listens to him and awaits his visit to Ukraine.

It is also worth noting that after the meeting with the Holy Father Pope Francis, members of the Synod of Bishops visited the altar of St. Basil the Great, which holds the relics of the Holy Martyr Josaphat Kuntsevich, Archbishop of Polotsk. There, the bishops jointly prayed “God, the Great One” for peace in Ukraine and the end of the war, which continues to continue and bring suffering to the Ukrainian people.

Pope Francis meets with bishops of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church

Pope: A Synod is not a survey. It is the presence of the Holy Spirit

Pope Francis meets with bishops of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church and speaks about the role of the Holy Spirit in synodality.

By Vatican News

Meeting with bishops of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, who are here in Rome for their Synod, Pope Francis referred to an article published this past weekend in “l’Osservatore Romano”. The Pope said he was not trying to “make publicity” for the Vatican newspaper, but that he liked the article which dealt with “the presence of the Holy Spirit in the synodal journey”. What a Synod is not

Pope Francis said that today we are in danger of believing that “to make a synodal journey, or to have an attitude of synodality,” means taking a survey of opinions and then coming to some sort of agreement. “A synod is not a Parliament”, he said, “you must say things, discuss them as you normally do, but it is not a Parliament”.

Unlike politics, the Pope continued, a synod is not a series of agreements: “I give you this, you give me that”. It is not a question of conducting “sociological investigations” regarding what needs to change, and how to go about changing it.

What a Synod is

A Synod is only a Synod, said Pope Francis, if the Holy Spirit is present. “If the Holy Spirit is not present, there is no synodality”, he added. “Indeed, if there is no Church, there is no identity of the Church”, the Pope continued. “And what is the identity of the Church? Saint Pope Paul VI said it clearly: the vocation of the Church is to evangelize. Its identity is to evangelize”.

Pope Francis concluded by inviting the bishops of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church to enter their Synod together with the Holy Spirit, even if it means “fighting among yourselves!”. In the end, however, it must be the Spirit that leads them. “This, he said, “is the way to proceed”.

Patriarch Josyf wished to glorify the Wisdom of God in the Cathedral of St. Sophia in Rome, His Beatitude Sviatoslav on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Saint Sophia

Monday, 02 September 2019, 16:42

I urge all of us to find our own personal place in God’s plan for Ukraine and the world, and to find our part in establishing God’s Wisdom in the modern world. The Father and Head of the UGCC emphasized this during his sermon to the faithful on Sunday, September 1, 2019, at the Cathedral of St. Sophia in Rome. This year, the UGCC celebrates the 50th anniversary of the consecration of this temple, which was built by Patriarch .

On this occasion, this year’s Synod of Bishops of the UGCC is held in the Eternal City.

Among the guests of the feast were Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, and Cardinal Emeritus Domenico Calcagno. The fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko with his wife Maryna and Ukrainian Ambassador to the Vatican Mrs. Tetiana Izhevska also attended the Liturgy.

In his word to the believers, His Beatitude Sviatoslav noted that human life, not material goods, is extremely valuable to God. Today, from the pages of Scripture, we learn that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who wanted to make accounts with his servants. So when he was brought in by one who was guilty of ten thousand talents, he forgave him his debt. In a sermon, the Head of the Church explained this episode from the Gospel and said that people should seek first the wisdom of God, and then we will have both money and glory, and our descendants will bless us.

“Every Christian feels like a forgiven debtor. At his last meeting with our Metropolitans, Pope Francis said the words that should be the slogan of our Christian life: act like a wise, merciful and forgiving God, and then you will receive everything,”said the preacher.

The bishops mentioned the figure of Patriarch Josyf Slipyj, who made a great contribution to the development of the Church and the Ukrainian people, despite great and difficult trials. Thanks to him the UGCC is now a global and united Church.

“In constructing this cathedral, Patriarch Josyf in his wisdom, as a reflection of the Wisdom of God, left a manifesto of identity for every Ukrainian. At one time, he said that this cathedral is a mirror of Sophia of Kyiv. Josyf Slipyj wanted to show God’s Wisdom and wanted to glorify it in this cathedral.”

The Head of the UGCC is convinced that over the half century of its existence, the temple has become an important center of spiritual, cultural and national life of the Ukrainian people.

Before the end of the Liturgy, Cardinal Sandri addressed the audience. He congratulated the members of the UGCC on this important anniversary. Pointing to the historical path of the UGCC, the Cardinal noted: “Your story teaches us that the Lord is the master of history: He gives bread to the hungry. And we see it in the Holodomor tragedy; He leads his people through the ministry of pastors.”

At the end of the Liturgy, the Head of the UGCC thanked everyone who cared for St. Sophia Cathedral in Rome and all those who attended the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the temple. It should be noted that after the Liturgy there was a consecration of the anniversary cross, which on this occasion was established near the cathedral. In addition, the Head of the UGCC presented Patriarchal diploma and expressed his gratitude to the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Vatican, Mrs. Tetiana Izhevska, for her work.

It is to be recalled that on Saturday, August 31, 2019, the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the consecration of St. Sophia’s Cathedral in Rome began with Vespers. His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Father and Head of the UGCC, led the evening service. Fifteen bishops from Ukraine and the diaspora who came to Rome to participate in the work of the Synod of Bishops of the UGCC concelebrated it with him.

May the bell of liberty continue to ring, from country to country, from heart to heart.

Borys Gudziak

Created in God’s image and likeness we, human beings, are meant to be free.

Free as persons and communities, free as peoples and nations.

Freedom is God’s will. Freedom is God’s gift. It always was and remains today a struggle to receive and safeguard this gift. Sometimes the struggle is titanic and tragic, because many abuse freedom and authority to dominate and violate others—in families, in communities, even in Churches. In modern times the greatest human devastation was wrought by those who violated the freedom and dignity of entire peoples and nations, negating their faith, cultures, languages, political self-determination, their very existence. Purges, ethnic cleansing, and even genocide were used cynically and without pity to strip away the gift of freedom, to subjugate, to affect total control. In the twentieth century, Ukraine was a global epicenter of violence and tyranny experienced by different nationalities, ethnic groups and religious communities—Ukrainians, Jews, Crimean Tatars, Roma, Poles . . .

Twenty-eight years ago, after centuries of foreign rule, Ukraine achieved national independence. Any Ukrainian old enough to remember recalls the jubilation of August 1991. Do you remember where you were? I, at the time of the putsch and the declaration of independence, was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, completing chapter two of my dissertation. It was a long, hot summer. I vividly remember how in Moscow the monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky was removed by crane. The founder of the murderous Soviet secret police was hanging by the neck. We, in turn, hung on every bit of news: the joyful telephone calls, the pictures of the giant Ukrainian flag carried into the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament. In elation I went jogging—flying! —along the Charles River. After so many years and sacrifices . . . . FREEDOM!

My people are free at last! Our Church is free. Our language will have full civil rights. Ukrainian culture will flourish. The genocidal history is finally in the past!

Well, yes . . . and no, for today there is a war in Ukraine . . . a war for freedom.

And yet the freedom is real. Not ideal, not perfect, not yet complete. The quality of social and economic justice leaves much to be desired. A quiet despotism, in fact, pervades the courts. Corruption captivates, as do personal and communal faults and flaws. Many citizens are slaves to alcohol, victims of domestic violence or child abuse. Even more suffer from poverty, poor medical care, depression, and war-generated post-traumatic shock. The country’s character and society need reform. Conversion is necessary to safeguard the poor, the marginalized and handicapped, the old and unborn—from the Carpathians to the Donbas, from Chornobyl to Yalta. There is no longer a genocide, but millions have emigrated—not by free choice, but out of dire necessity.

Still, no reasonable person can deny that progress in liberty is real. Paradoxically, Ukrainians—though dying today for their freedom—enjoy it as never before. They are free as never before to be themselves. They are at liberty to travel, to leave and to come back. To speak and write in their own language without fear of repression or shame. Never before were there so many Ukrainian books published, never before was Ukrainian cultural expression so varied and vital: literature and art, music and film, the global Ukrainian internet presence. The emancipation of conscience and confession is unprecedented. The Orthodox have gained autocephaly; Greek Catholics, yesterday banned and driven underground, today can inspire the capital and every oblast. On the global scene, only in Ukraine, apart from Israel, are the heads of both state and government (the president and prime-minister)—Jews. Muslim Crimean Tatars find refuge in Kyiv and Lviv from the occupation regime tormenting their homeland. Freedom-loving Russian democrats migrate from Russia to Ukraine to exercise and propagate those liberties denied them at home.

The liberties are not only those of identity, culture, and spirit. Never before were there so many professional and economic opportunities for Ukrainian women and men. Never were there so many Ukrainian universities, such prospects for advancement. Never did Ukrainians possess so many commodities, so many cars, enjoy so much living space in housing. Never before could they communicate and create with such abandon. Never before could Ukrainians choose their representatives and leaders in government with less constraint. Unthinkable at the time of independence, today the country is among the leaders in global computer technology. The global presence and influence of Ukrainians is on the rise. The country and the world have never been so Ukrainian.

In gratitude we salute those who were and are willing to die for our freedom and dignity. We salute those who are determined to live free and to inspire others to appreciate and own their sense of liberty.

Facing the paradoxes of the contemporary condition the question before all Ukrainians on Independence Day is: “What should we do?” In the first place we should stay focused: each of us should try to do the right thing—everywhere and at all times. We are called to teach freedom by exemplifying responsibility. Inspired by the best we are to raise up those who are low, those who debase their own dignity, who skirt responsibility and take for granted the gift of freedom earned at a great price. This is not only a Ukrainian challenge. The challenge to work together for change is felt in the cradle of modern democracy, in the United States, and in the rest of the world.

Today we celebrate independence from evil and oppression, from those who kill body and soul, extinguish our history and colonize our future. But our celebration is not only against or in contrast to something. Independence is a positive choice. It is not simple separation or dissension. We cannot be free of dependence on each other. We cannot free ourselves from truth, from principles, from values. Emancipation from God was the essential ideological dogma behind every genocide of the twentieth century. In fact, we should hold fast to the truth no matter the price. Ukraine demonstrates that independence comes at great cost. We are grateful to those who contributed to it. We realize that in the end, the responsibility for the future belongs not only to the heroes but to all of us.

Today, many Ukrainians on the front lines, in destitute villages and anonymous cities live in depression, fear and anxiety. There are many causes for this: war, occupation, torture by the enemy, poverty and corruption among our own, urban alienation, fragmentation of the family, distrust in interpersonal relations. Everyone can find an excuse to lose hope, to abandon the pilgrimage from fear to dignity. But for all of us Independence Day is rather a call to action, to respond to the challenges. One cannot be free by surrendering, giving up, doing nothing. Freedom entails love and service and responsibility.

Back then, in 1991, from the banks of the Charles River, I ran, I flew to Ukraine. What a privilege it was to participate in the construction of a new society, the birth of a new nation. What a joy it was to partake in the positive transformations over the last 28 years. How proud I am that seven graduates of the Ukrainian Catholic University in a few days will become members of the new Ukrainian parliament. How I pray that they and their new colleagues do the right thing.

Having returned to the US, I pray with Americans and Ukrainians that we see that God’s grace is the foundation and fabric of our freedom. I celebrate in Philadelphia, the cradle of modern democracy, the pulpit of American independence, the first US capital. Here I will be with my fellow Ukrainians in spirit, deed, and joy. May the bell of liberty continue to ring from country to country, from heart to heart.

May the gratitude for the gift of freedom fortify our faith and courage. May the witnesses of those who give and live their life for freedom be our example. Let us embrace each other like brothers and sisters sharing the peace and joy that true freedom brings.

Go for a run, go for a swim, raise a toast of recognition for the gift of life and liberty. Будьмо!

Statement of Philadelphia Ukrainian Catholic Archbishop-Metropolitan Borys Gudziak on the Massacres in Texas and Ohio

The shock of the wanton violence and massacres calls us to conversion. The gun culture, violence on screens, and personal morality, in general, in our country— all need conversion. The complex factors which stand behind the hate, racism, rejection of immigrants, the compulsions and addictions, the mental illness, and escalating aggression do not have one common social denominator—other than a spiritual and moral one—the rejection of God, a lack of love for neighbor.

The free-for-all in our popular culture, the use of guns as toys or instruments of revenge, the lack of respect for the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death is all in a continuum. So is the vulgar political discourse.

I am afraid it will get worse before it gets better.

Unless we have a change of heart.

Unless we address the root causes.

Unfortunately, many political and social leaders are taking us in the wrong direction.

Pray, be humble, and do the right thing always and everywhere. That is the best we can do, that is the example of our Lord in the face of injustice and violence. Reread the Passion accounts in the Gospels.

Their truth has never been more relevant…

Five Bishops to Celebrate Divine Liturgy during the Annual Call to Prayer Marian Pilgrimage in Centralia, Pa. Sunday, August 25

Five Bishops to Celebrate Divine Liturgy during the Annual Call to Prayer Marian Pilgrimage in Centralia, Pa. Sunday, August 25

Centralia, Pa.—On the grounds and in the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, located on the serene mountaintop overlooking the abandoned, desolate borough of Centralia, five bishops will lead pilgrims in prayer during the Fourth Annual Call to Prayer Marian Pilgrimage Sunday, August 25, 2019.

Prayers of the Third Hour and traditional Marian Hymns will be sung by the choir of the Holy Family Ukrainian National Shrine, Washington DC. beginning at 11 a.m.

At 12:00 noon Metropolitan-Archbishop Borys Gudziak, Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia; Bishop Paul Chomnycky, OSBM, Stamford Eparchy; Bishop Ronald W. Gainer, Harrisburg Diocese; Bishop Alfred A, Schlert, Allentown Diocese; and Auxiliary Bishop John Bura, Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia will be the celebrants at the Divine Liturgy. Metropolitan Gudziak will be the homilist. Father Deacon Paul Spotts will serve as deacon. Responses to the Divine Liturgy will be congregational singing led by Mr. Dennis Hardock, cantors from local parishes, members of St. Nicholas Choir, Minersville Pa. and Holy Family Ukrainian National Shrine Choir, Washington, D.C.

After the Divine Liturgy, a procession will be held from the church with the Icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv where it will be placed in the outside chapel for veneration.

At 2 p.m., a discussion “Out of Many, One” on the various churches, from east and west, that comprise the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church will be led by Very Rev. Archpriest John M. Fields.

Priests will be available from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the pilgrims at various locations throughout the church grounds.

There will be a Living Rosary prayed at 2:30 p.m. before the historic and jeweled 18th century copy of the Icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv.

At 3:30 p.m. the Akafist Prayer to the Dormition (Assumption) of the Most Holy Mother of God before the Holy Shroud of the Dormition will be sung.

At 4:30 p.m., religious items will be blessed in the outdoor Pochaiv Chapel.

At 5:00 p.m. all will gather at the outdoor Pochaiv Chapel for a candlelight procession with the icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv to the church for the celebration of a Moleben to the Mother of God. At the conclusion of the Moleben, prayers for healing and the anointing with holy oils for the healing of soul and body will take place.

Pilgrims will have an opportunity to venerate the Icon of Our Lady of Pochaiv, the Icon of Our Lady of Persecuted Christians (blessed by Pope Francis) and the Holy Shroud of the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God throughout the day.

During his historic visit in November 2015, His Beatitude Major-Archbishop , Father and Head of the world-wide Ukrainian Catholic Church, marveled at the continuing presence of the church in Centralia. He also noted how this coal region parish fostered four priestly vocations and three sisters to the religious life.

Patriarch Sviatoslav felt a sense of true holiness which pervades the entire church property. His desire is for all people of faith to come and experience this holiness, sanctity and serenity as pilgrims to this holy place on the mountain.

From the visit of Patriarch Sviatoslav and with the encouragement of Metropolitan- Archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, the place was designated a holy site of pilgrimage.

The first pilgrimage was held in 2016 and the story of this unique pilgrimage site has been told throughout the world. It was the cover story for the Christmas 2018 edition of Reader’s Digest and BBC News did a feature story in February 2018.

Very Reverend Michael Hutsko, pastor invites all people of faith to join with the bishops and clergy for a day of prayer and spiritual blessings.

Eight years ago, on Sunday, August 28, 2011, Archbishop Soroka was the main celebrant and homilist when the parish celebrated its Centennial Jubilee of its founding.

“The main thing is that I want you to hear beyond the words,” the archbishop said. “This church is standing after 100 years, despite the mine fire and the town leaving, to deliver a message to the world: We are to be like your namesake, the Mother of God, to be servants to others.”

“After 100 years, you are all doing the work the founders of the church wanted to do as well, you are giving service to others, coming together in hard times and good.”

While the town of Centralia was destroyed by an underground mine fire, which resulted in the relocation of almost all the residents and the demotion of all but a few buildings, the stately white Assumption Ukrainian Catholic Church capped with its three onion- shaped blue domes still sits on a hilltop overlooking the once-thriving town as it has since the first services were held there in 1912, after the parish was founded on August 15, 1911.

Today, while the town is a memory, the church still serves a thriving parish family, with congregants driving to the hilltop on Sundays and Holy Days from communities throughout the area.

Food and beverages will be available for sale throughout the day. Handicap parking will be provided on the church grounds. Off-site parking and shuttle van service will be provided from the center of town to the church.

This is a Rain or Shine event.

The church is located on North Paxton Street, 2 Blocks North of Route 42 in Centralia, Pennsylvania.

For more information please feel free to contact the church rectory at 570-339-0650.

Feast Day – Saints Borys and Hlib

On the occasion of his Name Day, the staff of “The Way” wishes Metropolitan-Archbishop Borys good health, long life and the Lord’s choicest blessings.

Many Happy and blessed years!
