2 Sunday, October 14 th ** 9:30 a.m. ** Rosary (Eng.) *** 10:00 a.m. *** Divine Liturgy (Eng./Ukr.): God s blessings to all parishioners ** Sunday s Propers Tone 3 pg. 93 ** Epistle: A reading from St. Paul s Letter to the Galatians (Gal. 1:11-19) Brothers and Sisters, I want you to know, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier life in Judaism. I was violently persecuting the church of God and was trying to destroy it. I advanced in Judaism beyond many among my people of the same age, for I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. But when God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me, so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with any human being, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were already apostles before me, but I went away at once into Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days; but I did not see any other apostle except James the Lord s brother. Gospel: Luke 7:11-16 At that time, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother s only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, Do not weep. Then he

came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to you, rise! The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

3 came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to you, rise! The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has risen among us! and God has looked favourably on his people! ANNOUNCEMENTS: Thank you for joining us! A warm welcome - to all parishioners, your families, visitors and guests. Thank you for joining us in this Divine Liturgy. Have a blessed week! Catechism of the Ukrainian Catholic Church Christ Our Pascha #423-24, p The Rite of Baptism The Celebrant of the Mystery of Baptism 423 The Mystery of Baptism is usually celebrated by a priest. He is the spiritual father of the parish community to which the newly baptized is united (and thus the appropriate presider). However, if there is danger of death, any Christian may baptize. In that case, Baptism is performed by a triple pouring of water over the person with the words: The servant of God, (name), is baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Frequently, a person who receives Baptism while in danger of death does so without the full liturgical rite. Consequently, if the person lives and recovers, he or she is brought to a priest, who completes the rite and also performs Chrismation. The Mysteries of Baptism and Chrismation are received only once in a lifetime because, having been born in Christ through the Holy Spirit, we remain children of the Father forever. The Holy Mystery of Chrismation 1) The Gift of Pentecost

4 424 As the Paschal mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Christ finds its completion in the sending of the Holy Spirit on the apostles, so our rebirth in Christ is sealed by the gift of the Holy Spirit. Chrismation is the seal of the gift that we received in Baptism. It manifests that every baptized person receives the coming of the Holy Spirit, as did the apostles at Pentecost. This anointing by the Holy Spirit indicates that every Christian is born to new life in Christ and becomes a child of the Father in order to take part in the royal, priestly, and prophetic ministry of Christ for the salvation of the world. This is emphasized in the prayer of consecration of Holy Chrism on Great and Holy Thursday: Send, O Lord, your Most Holy Spirit upon this Chrism and make of it a royal anointing, a spiritual anointing by which kings, high-priests, and prophets had been anointed, and all of their successors bishops and presbyters and all who until this day have received rebirth in the font of regeneration... Make this Chrism to be the Descent of the Holy Spirit. Please Pray for health of Bishop Severian, Moriss P., Clay B., Annie A., Donna A, Muna N., Mirko W., John K., Wanda Jean R., Mike H., Irene M., Maria W., Peter & Ann G., Brandon, Chad, Vanessa & Nathan N., Joe M., Anne D., Rose K., Maria S., Slava W., Maria & Ihor Z., Fr. Jeffery S., Lawrence & Ping B., all the sick brothers and sisters in our families and our parish community. Please let Fr. Andrzej know if you would like to add names to the prayer list and also notify him about any sick and/or hospitalized parishioners and family members. On this Special Thanksgiving Weekend we express our gratitude to Almighty God for all His blessings and graces bestowed upon us in the past year. On behalf of the Most Holy Trinity Parish, we would like to wish everyone good health, peace, and a joyful thanksgiving celebration.
