1 May - June 2017 HOLY PENTECOST 663

2 Spiritual Father: how to search, why do you need one, and what to do if you do not have one. How obligatory is the decision to become a spiritual child, does it leave us free? Which attitude towards the confessor is wrong? What to do if you do not have a spiritual father yet? Is it possible to have a "confessor by correspondence"? What if a husband and his wife have different spiritual fathers? Is it possible to change one confessor for another? What makes relationships between spiritual father and his spiritual child special? Here we are discussing these and other topics with an experienced pastor. Harmful perspectives -What kind of attitudes toward the confessor are considered to be wrong? How is it possible to understand that something goes wrong? - Suppose a person sees a priest as - I'm talking from my own personal experience - an elder and refers to him as an elder, this is the wrong approach, a misguided perception. I'm not an elder. It is not right when a person raises a common confessor and places him on a pedestal of holiness. We are people, I am a man, a sinful person, and I would like to be rid of my passions, like my spiritual children. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not work out, but I continually pray to God that He will free me from such passions. It is wrong to collect information about a spiritual father as a wonder-worker: that here he showed his insightfulness; and here thanks to his prayers someone has recovered. Most often it contains a rather large element of imagination, and a person - a confessor - is being worshiped. And then, when we suddenly show weakness, our failure is great in the eyes of such people and our memory dies with a sound, as the Gospel says. - Is it obligatory for a family to have a common confessor, and what if the wife has one and her husband has another confessor, what should they do? - I share this view, although I never insist on it that it is more correct to have the same confessor. Picture for a moment: now there are a lot of wonderful confessors; They are also remarkable because they have experience in communicating with the elders who have passed on to them some experience of their own - and you cannot get hold of it in any books! But nevertheless, due to the difference in characters, personal approaches, they sometimes see the problems differently as well as the means of healing from this or that mental illness. And this as a result can become a huge, insuperable stumbling point! Suppose your confessor says one thing in connection with a certain problem of family life, and your husband's confessor tells your husband another thing in connection with the same problem. And you face a choice: what to do? And you are lost, because you love your confessor and consider him as the final arbiter or the last word, and the husband believes his confessor. And thus there is a conflict. To be continued Faith, "FOMA in Ukraine", September (With the editor s changes)

I express my gratitude to the Parish Council for organizing the Paschal breakfast, and all the donors for their financial assistance to our parish. As you know, your financial support is a vital necessity for our existence, growth and the development of our parish. Taking this opportunity, I want to turn to you once again, if you have not yet sent us your Paschal contributions, we would be very grateful for your prayers and for your financial support.

God save you all! frnazaripolataiko@gmail.com Cell: (818) Office: (323) Archpriest Nazari Polataiko Starosta report I would like to thank everyone who wished me their best wishes on the occasion of my 95th Birthday. A special thanks is extended to Fr. Nazari for giving me such a beautiful icon, and also his Eminence Archbishop Benjamin who gave me a "Gramota". Both gifts were a total surprise to me and I was really touched when they were awarded to me in Church. I have been in this parish since I was ten years old, attended Russian School, was an Altar boy, served on the Parish Council and was elected Starosta in 1978 until now, with only a 1 year and a 2 year break when I thought we would move to Laguna Beach. I was married in this Church, to my wife, Irene, who has been in this parish since Both of our children grew up here and were also married here. Holy Virgin Mary Cathedral has been my home away from home all my life. With God's grace, I am truely blessed to have all of you as my friends. Leo Gregory Sisterhood News We had about 20 people come out and clean the Church for Pascha which made the job easier for the usual regular volunteers. Thank you very much. Our order of the red and burgundy priest vestments and vessel covers arrived from Ukraine in time for Easter and are very elegant and beautiful. At our last meeting, we voted to support the Summer Camp with one scholarship for a child from our parish. We also are sending our yearly donation to the Diocese of the West. We will celebrate our patronal Feast Day on Monday, June 5th with a Molieben in the Church at 6:30 pm, followed by dinner in the Parish Hall. Friends are invited to attend, The cost for dinner will be $10.00 per person. Make sure to make your reservations with Irene Gregory or Tamara Krupenkin.
