On October 9, 2018, His Beatitude Sviatoslav at the Pontifical Synod in Vatican spoke about the need to nourish the prayer spirit among modern youth. Addressing the Holy Father and the Synodal Fathers, the Head of the UGCC drew attention to the fact that the Church should teach the modern young people to pray. "I recall that some of the Synod Fathers spoke a few days ago about the need to pray for youth. I would like to add: you need to pray not only for the youth, but also with the youth. We see that this need is growing very much among young people. There is an ancient tradition in the eastern world: when a young man approaches the elder, first of all he asks him to teach him to pray," said His Beatitude Sviatoslav. He also told the participants of the Synod of a study that was held in all dioceses of the UGCC in Ukraine and the Diaspora. The purpose of this survey was to help the Church understand who, how and when teaches young people to pray. "We discovered an unexpected and quite disturbing reality for ourselves," said His Beatitude Sviatoslav. "Whole generations grew up who have never seen their parents pray. Some respondents answered that they participated in divine services, but never saw that the priest prayed himself or with them. Most young people responded that they learned to pray from their peers during pilgrimages. A significant part of the survey respondents said that today there are very few people who could teach them to pray." "That's why we asked our monasteries and Bishops to open their homes and create schools of prayer for youth," said the Head of the UGCC. He also thanked the ecumenical community of Taizé, "which becomes the world center for prayer for youth, which creates a whole culture of prayer. Thank you for organizing prayer days in L'viv (Ukraine), where you created the atmosphere of a common youth prayer for Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants." Participants of the Pontifical Synod responded to the speech of the Head of the UGCC with loud applause. http://news.ugcc.ua/en/news/ Secretariat of the Head of the UGCC in Rome 4
Youth is the most important period of life when we can reveal and realize our vocation. Once we comprehend that someone needs us, and we do something really significant depression (and even suicide) won t longer threat us. That was an opinion formed by His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Head and Father of UGCC in interactive program An Open Church of Zhyve.TV on the subject of Youth: the way to Church. Being young is the best period in our life. Nevertheless, when young people face new challenges and problems, they may lose hearts, Head of UGCC pointed out. In spiritual life depression is sometimes considered as despair. From the perspective of spirituality, despair is evil s temptation. Thus, the first advice is not to succumb to temptation! Life is extremely beautiful. Even though we sometimes lose the purpose of life, it doesn t mean we have to lose a life itself. We have to search for its sense!, Head of Church assured. Head of Church assumes that there are no hopeless undertakings, and probably, the way out is somewhere across. If you really get into a situation when you feel you want to give up I encourage all of you to talk to God, talk to other people. Don t close into yourselves! Head of Church signaled that a contemporary world is hyperemotional, and youth lives in virtual environment. And when people feel they lack emotions it looks like emptiness. Cherish human s relationships. Overcome loneliness with a help of a community!, His Beatitude Sviatoslav highlighted. The UGCC Department for Information Saturday, 27th of October 6 8 PM Explore Life, Faith and Joy! If you 13 and older, come and join our youth group! Everyone is warmly welcome! We will discuss interesting topics together (and not only this)! Come and see! 5

Reminder deadline for all submissions to the bulletin is Thursday at noon. Thank you The Rite of Confession 456 Confession is made before a priest, who is a witness of the sinner s repentance and a mediator of God s forgiveness: Know, O child, that Christ himself, our Saviour, who knows all the hidden secrets of people s hearts, is invisibly present, accepting your confession. Therefore do not conceal from me, whether from shame or from fear, anything of your sins... Beware that, having come for healing, you do not leave unhealed. At the same time, the priest helps penitents to know the state of their soul, confirms their faith in God s forgiveness, offers spiritual counsel, designates an appropriate spiritual remedy (in Greek, epitimia, i.e., pen-ance), and gives 'Just as a man is enlightened by the Holy Spirit when he is baptized by a priest, so he who confesses his sins with a repentant heart obtains their remission from the priest.' St. Athanasius the absolution. As regards the contents of a penitent s confession, the priest is obliged to maintain the strictest secrecy, even after the penitent s death.
