3 SURVEY OF THE FAITHFUL OF THE EPARCHY OF SASKATOON The Eparchy of Saskatoon is conducting a survey of members to assist in the reflection process that each parish is asked to make as part of Vision 2020, a program of renewal of our entire Church, initiated in 2011 by our Patriarch, Sviatoslav, and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Synod of Bishops, and presented by His Beatitude in his letter, "The Vibrant Parish a place to encounter the living Christ". We are also building upon the foundation of the 2005 Sobor which recognized the need for examining and evaluating available programs and other resources, and communicating this information to parishes. Results of the survey will be compiled and made available to parishes and to all the faithful of the Eparchy to provide a better understanding of the overall direction of the Eparchy and to offer each individual parish a perspective on its situation within the context of the entire Eparchial community. The survey should be completed by every member of the Eparchy who is 13 years of age or more. For more information, and to complete the survey online or print a copy for completion on paper, visit the Eparchial website: Members who do not have access to the internet may request copies from the pastor or parish office. Please participate in this very important project which will help all of our parishes to develop pastoral plans that fit their particular circumstances and needs.

5 FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT (by Sisters Bonnie Komarnicki and Pat Lacey, ssmi, of the Ukrainian Catholic Religious Education Centre, Saskatoon SK) TROPAR (TONE 2) We pay homage to Your undefiled image, Good Lord,* and beg pardon for our faults, Christ our God.* By Your will You chose to mount the cross in Your flesh* to free Your creatures from slavery to the enemy.* For this we gratefully cry out to You:* By coming to save the world, our Saviour, You filled all things with joy. KONDAK (TONE 8) The uncircumscribed Word of the Father* became circumscribed by being enfleshed from you, Godbearer.* You brought back the stained image to its original state* by infusing it with divine beauty.* But recognizing our salvation, we portray it by word and deed. HISTORY OF THE SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY Icons were venerated in the Eastern Church until the reign of Leo III ( A.D.). Under the influence of two bishops from Asia Minor (Turkey), he decreed that since the veneration of icons was idol worship all veneration of them should cease and all icons should be destroyed. This decree marked the beginning of a long bloody battle against sacred images in the Eastern Church. Icons were destroyed or burned and their defenders cast into prison, exiled and even tortured. It lasted, with short intervals of peace, for about 100 years. In 842 A.D. Empress Theodora restored the use and veneration of icons. A synod at Constantinople was convoked which restored the veneration of holy images. On the first Sunday of the Great Lent the icons were brought back to the churches in solemn procession. That day was made into a perpetual memory of the triumph of Orthodoxy at the end of the Iconoclast persecution. THEMES OF THE SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY The expectation of the Old Testament prophets and holy people for the coming of Christ. The incarnation of Christ, the presence of Christ on earth, in the Church, and in our personal lives. The joy of the Church in proclaiming and glorifying Christ and His lordship over all. THE HEART OF EASTERN CHRISTIANITY The icons, hymns, prayers, worship and liturgy of the Eastern Church unceasingly focus our attention on Jesus Christ: His person, saving work, and lordship. The heart of Eastern Christianity, the inner mystery of its radiant beauty, the source of its worship and teaching is the glorification of Christ, the living God, through whom we know the Father and from whom we receive the Holy Spirit. PRAYER In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. We venerate your holy icon, O loving Lord, and we ask that You forgive our sins, O Christ our God. For of your own will You ascended the cross, in the flesh, to deliver us whom You have fashioned from the bondage of the enemy. Therefore, We cry out to You in thanksgiving: O Saviour, You filled all things with joy when You came to save the world. (Dismissal Hymn, Sunday of Orthodoxy) WHAT CAN I DO IN MY CLASSROOM OR AT HOME? Have a procession with an icon of Christ or of several icons to the icon corner. Sing an appropriate hymn. Venerate the icon(s) Learn to sing the Tropar and Kondak for the Sunday of Orthodoxy. Prepare for the Sunday liturgy by studying the readings. Find out about my patron saint and pray especially to him/her during this Lenten season. Place a picture of each person in the icon corner. We are each an icon of Christ so we are to respect each other. LITURGY OF THE PRESANCTIFIED GIFTS During Lent, on Wednesday and Friday evenings at 7:00 pm there will be the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. Please attend this beautiful, prayerful service that will lead us on our Lenten journey. ST. MARY'S OUTREACH The Outreach Committee wishes to thank you for your continuous support.
