3 Divine Liturgy Schedule Порядок Богослужінь Hail to Life-giving Cross of Lord Hail to Cross, sign of victory that was given to Christians for strengning. Hail to Cross tree, lifted up to heavens, whose sweet-smelling branches give life to everyone, Hail to Cross that was diligently sought by Queen Helen until she found it with nails. Hail to Cross that was put in bitter water, which was rendered sweet to quench thirst of faithful. Hail to Cross that deserved to be believed in by Issac Samaritan and all who were with him. Hail to Cross, pride of Christians, on which Lord was crucified to save His people. Hail Hail to Cross, wooden scepter on which blood of lamb was shed. Hail to Cross on which our Saviour was crucified, and He lifted His hands and invited everyone. Hail to Cross, indispensable sign in hands of Highest like a decorated crown. Because of a tree, Adam was chased out of paradise, and because of blessed Cross, he returned to his rank once more. We ask compassionate Lord to grant us forgiveness of our sins.

The greatest gift that you can give your grandparents is a visit or a call always being attentive to ir needs. Remember, grandparents will always ask about you first and listen intently to everything you have to say. They are never rushed or in a hurry to hear about your adventures; y are re just for you. Addressing wife of a priest The manner in which we use titles of address tends to cause a great deal of confusion. It should be remembered that titles of address are nothing more than courtesy titles. They are polite ways of speaking to wife of a priest. So, addressing Fr John s wife you would use Ukrainian term Dobrodiyka Mostivsky (Mrs. Mostivsky) When you receive gifts from Holy Spirit don t ask for a receipt.

For tickets contact Larysa at Oct 28 - Perogy Supper, 5:00-7:00 pm, Holy Family Parish The New Saint of Mercy - Mor Teresa On September 4, Pope Francis canonized Mor Teresa, whose life sent world a single, urgent message: that love and caring are most important things in life. Perhaps we can best understand why she is worthy of veneration and imitation by reflecting on some of her own words: The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rar feeling of being unwanted, uncared for and deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is lack of love and charity, terrible indifference toward one s neighbour who lives at roadside, assaulted by exploitation, corruption, poverty and disease. Those who are a burden to society, who have lost all hope and faith in life, who have forgotten how to smile and no longer know what it means to receive a little human warmth, a gesture of love and friendship y turn to us to receive a little bit of comfort. If we turn our backs on m, we turn our backs on Christ. Our love and our joy in serving must be in proportion to degree to which our task is repugnant. Our prayer today: Mor Teresa, Saint of Mercy, pray for us that we may truly see image of God in spiritually most deprived and disfigured of our brors and sisters. Ukraine s President, Petro Poroshenko, reading signs of Russian military build-up all along Ukraine s borders and with alreadyoccupied territory of Crimea, spoke of Ukraine entering a state of total preparedness. He stated today, The likelihood of escalation of conflict remains very high. And we are not ruling out a full-scale Russian invasion. Today we have a sharp aggravation of situation in Crimea and in East. The situation in East has changed significantly. In last 10 day, heavy artillery of terrorists is firing at headquarters and bases km behind line of contact. If escalation continues, by my decree mobilization will be announced and martial law declared. There is nothing more important than Ukraine, independence of our country, our freedom and our democracy. [Personal observation: It is truly sad that NATO nations, aside from ir continuous almost bellicose language, really offer little support or than sanctions of questionable effectiveness. When push comes to shove and every sign suggests that it will sooner than we think what will be fate not only of country of Ukraine, but her citizens that have already suffered bloodshed of millions due to meddling of foreign powers that are really more interested in ir own ends rar than lives and souls of God s People in Ukraine!] Source: Archeparchy.ca THE WELCOME HOME is a Catholic inner-city mission run by Ukrainian Redemptorists since We are looking for volunteers for following programs and ministries: Teenagers or Young Adults to help with our Kids are Creative Arts Program (Tues. early evening) or our Youth Group ( one Friday night and one Sunday afternoon per month).

5 Divine Liturgy is not Entertainment WINNIPEG Vigil Location 775 Notre Dame Ave Health Science Centre Vigil Hours 8 am - 8 pm daily Contact: Maria Slykerman clcwpgmb@gmail.com We sometimes hear complaint, Church is boring. The reason people feel that worship is boring is that usually when we go somewhere se days we expect to be entertained. Not long ago, a young boy talked me into playing video games with him. This 12 year old had plenty to choose from. The games were noisy, had blinking lights and strange sounds. This is entertainment to max for kids his age. We played for two hours and he couldn t get enough. Unlike video games or TV, our church services were never meant to be spellbinding, thrill-aminute entertainment. Maybe we need to change our expectations. Again, we go to church to worship God. In contrast to Video Game, this is a place to come to be quiet, to have our souls sood. If we are looking for entertainment, liturgical services likely will be boring. But if we have an attitude of thanksgiving and worship, like one thankful leper had toward Christ, we will want to be close to Christ and church is place to be. If we re re to give thanks and worship to God, we will find ourselves - in proximity to heaven itself. Some people say, I don t get anything out of church. In fact, you do get something out of it. For openers you commune with God! You receive Body and Blood of His beloved Son. You hear Gospel (Good News) read and preached. You sing to Him angelic songs (replacing angels mselves). You get to say thank you for His cleansing of your sins. Look, we come to church not first and foremost to get our needs met. We come to worship and praise God. If we re re for selfish reasons, worship doesn t make sense. But if we come to give thanks and glorify God, as one leper did, it s most wonderful hour in whole wide world.
