October 19, 2014 19TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Tone 2 TROPAR (Tone 2): When You went down to death, O Life Immortal, You struck Hades dead with the blazing light of Your divinity. When You raised the dead from the nether world, all the powers of heaven cried out: "O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory be to You!" Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, KONDAK (Tone 2): You rose from the tomb, O almighty Saviour, and Hades, seeing this wonder, was stricken with fear; and the dead arose. Creation saw and rejoices with You, and Adam exults. And the world, my Saviour, sings Your praises forever. now and for ever and ever. Amen. THEOTOKION (Tone 2): The tomb and death could not hold the Mother of God, unceasingly in her intercession and an unfailing hope of patronage, for as the Mother of Life she was transferred to life by Him Who had dwelt in her ever-virgin womb. PROKIMEN (Tone 2) : The Lord is my strength and my song of praise, and He has become my salvation. Verse: The Lord has indeed chastised me, but He has not delivered me to death. A reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to Corinthians (2 Cor. 11: 31-12:9) ALLELUIA (Tone 2) : The Lord will hear you in the day of tribulation; the name of the God of Jacob will shield you. Alleluia. (3) Verse: Lord, grant victory to the king and hear us in the day that we shall call upon You. Alleluia. (3) COMMUNION HYMN: Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest. Alleluia. (3) DON'T LET OTHERS DRAG YOU ONTO THE DESERT OF THEIR SHORTCOMINGS, EGO, AND EMPTINESS Do you ever let the emptiness of others create an emptiness in you? Do you encounter aridity, or spiritual attack (oppression), due to the pretensions of others? Are you subject to others' shortcomings? We all do -- feel that aridity. And sometimes we are the transmitters of it. Call it aridity. Call it the desert. For many, it is a constant state because they have not filled their lives with what's worthwhile, what is part of their mission -- and expect us to do this for them. While exercising charity and sympathy, and full of love -- while praying favor into their lives -- we should always be careful not to catch the "emptiness" bug and we should not let others make us feel guilty because we're not doing for them what they should be doing or should have done for themselves. How often this happens (and causes a guilt trip)! Emptiness comes in many ways. It comes through laziness: There are folks who simply are paralyzed by their inertia -- just won't take the discipline and energy to move forward. They blame anyone or anything around them, or contrive a malady. Woe to them. And woe to us, if we do this. It goes to the sin of sloth, which attracts demons, as does pretension, which causes us to be "puffed up." When a person is puffed up, he or she may appear big but can be moved by the slightest wind. Note how often in deliverance spirits are cast out through the breath -- air. When we're "empty," we are quick to take umbrage; we constantly look for slights. We drain energy from others (because we're on "empty"). We blame friends or relatives or co-workers for everything that's "wrong" in our lives. There are those who suffer phobias. They're afraid of experiencing life. There are those who are never content, no matter what good happens to them. They complain about the weather when it's too hot, when it's too cold, when it's too wet, when it's too dry. There are the fearful. Remember this: it is impossible to be fearful, negative, and joyful at the same time. Behind their cordiality is often emptiness. Behind our cordiality, at times, is aridity. Dry, wind-blown dunes of sand. If you feel this -- a space in your soul -- fill the emptiness with new challenges, with new interests, with reading, with praying, with going somewhere new, with the Word of God, which brings contentment. Joy is truth. It fills you. And it takes you beyond hard times. No difficulties survive longer than hope does. Hope and joy are partners. Both fill us with the right stuff. (Fear fills you with stale air.) They are opposites of each other and so can't exist in the same place (for fear requires a vacuum). Joy is rich in the real things. And there is no way to buy it. Try, try, try, so many do; they accumulate things. But things have no substance spiritually. When we leave vacant space within, it can be the home or resting stop, as I said, for spirits. There are those who have pretense. Pretense is the first stage in obsession. This is a hollow shell, a false exterior. It is worrying about appearances. There are those who have large egos. Same thing. An ego is a balloon; it is filled with air. (All it takes is a pinprick.) (Remember the Hildenberg?) The fruit of arrogance (a "blowhard") is frustration. He seeks after himself and keeps finding nothing. Don't inherit their wind. They are the kind who grip, who grab at you, who demand, who are always the "victim." Pray for them but don't become trapped by them. Be charitable. Compassionate. Help them in any way you are meant to, that doesn't infringe on God's Plan for you. Make a habit out of aiding the lonely, the unhappy, the the negative. Be a joy to them. Joy is a marker that you are living and thinking right. Don't lose that nor let others take it from you; nor be suppressed by the egos of others. Don't let them tear you down, make you feel like someone other than yourself, or take you on a "guilt trip." Don't let them make you feel or do what your spirit does not want you to feel or do, nor go where your spirit does not want to traverse. Don't accede to their demands that you "be like them," that you fill the void caused by their way of life. Approach it always with prayer, which fills you with wisdom and leads to perspective. "Prayers of praise" -- said the Pope -- "bring us this joy, the joy of being happy before the Lord. Let’s make a real effort to rediscover this!” And bring it to others -- instead of them bringing emptiness to us. The Holy Spirit gives you your identity. It does not come from others. Never concede to appease. Your name -- and destiny -are written in God's Heart. Beware those who treat every aspect of living as a threat and never grow nor mature nor find true joy as a result. Help them with your joyful faith. But let no one and nothing steal your joy. For at the end of this journey on earth we die into our joy or lack thereof. Love them, but don't let them pull you into their mire - or desert. The One you owe is God, Who fills you with life abundantly. 19-а НЕДІЛЯ ПО ЗІСЛАННІ СВ. ДУХА Тропарі і Кондаки: Тропар (2): Коли зійшов Ти до смерти, Життя безсмертне, тоді ад умертвив Ти сіянням Божества; коли ж і померлих з глибин підземних Ти воскресив, всі сили небесні взивали: Життєдавче, Христе Боже наш, слава Тобі! Слава Отцю, і Сину, і Святому Духові. Кондак (2): Воскрес Ти з гробу, всесильний Спасе, і ад побачивши чудо, зжахнувся та й мертві встали; а творіння, бачивши, радіє з Тобою, й Адам веселиться, і світ, Спасе мій, повсякчас Тебе оспівує. І нині, і повсякчас, і на віки вічні. Амінь. Богородичний (2): У молитвах невсипущу Богородицю, і в заступництві несхитне уповання не втримали в собі гріб і смерть; бо як Матір Життя покликав до життя Той, Хто в лоно вселився повсякчас дівственне. Прокімен: Прокімен (2): Господь - моя сила і моя пісня, і Він став моїм спасінням. Стих: Тяжко покарав мене Господь, та не передав мене смерті. Прокімен (2): Господь - моя сила і моя пісня, і Він став моїм спасінням. Апостоль: До Корінтян другого послання св. апостола Павла читання (2Кор 11,31-33;12,1-9) Браття, Бог і Отець Господа Ісуса, - благословен вовіки! - знає, що я не говорю неправди. В Дамаску правитель царя Арети стеріг місто дамащан, щоб мене схопити; та мене спущено віконцем у коші з муру, і я втік з його рук. Чи треба хвалитися? Воно й не личить, але я таки приступлю до видінь та до об’явлення Господа. Я знаю чоловіка в Христі, що чотирнадцять років тому, - чи то було в тілі, не знаю, чи то було без тіла, не знаю, Бог знає, - був узятий у рай і чув слова несказанні, яких годі людині вимовити. Таким буду хвалитися, собою ж не буду хвалитися, хіба лиш моїми немочами. А коли захочу хвалитися, я не буду безумний, бо кажу правду; але я стримуюся, щоб про мене хтось не сказав більше, ніж у мені бачить або від мене чує. А щоб не згордів надмірно висотою об’явлень, дано мені колючку в тіло, посланця сатани, щоб бив мене в обличчя, щоб я не зносився вгору. Я тричі благав Господа ради нього, щоб від мене відступився, та він сказав мені: “Досить тобі моєї благодаті, бо моя сила виявляється в безсиллі.” Отож, я краще буду радо хвалитися своїми немочами, щоб у мені Христова сила перебувала. Апостольські Стих (Алилуя): Стих (2): Вислухає Тебе Господь у день печалі, захистить Тебе ім'я Бога Якова. Алилуя, алилуя, алилуя. Стих (2): Господи, спаси царя і вислухай нас, коли будемо взивати до Тебе. Алилуя, алилуя, алилуя. Євангелія: (Лк 8,5-15) 21-а НЕДІЛЯ ПО ЗІСЛАННІ СВ. ДУХА Сказав Господь притчу оцю: “Вийшов сіяч сіяти своє зерно. І як він сіяв, одне впало край дороги й було потоптане, і птиці небесні його видзьобали. Друге впало на камінь і, зійшовши, висхло, бо вогкости не мало. Інше впало між тернину, і тернина, вигнавшися з ним вкупі, його заглушила. Врешті, інше впало на добру землю, і, зійшовши, сторицею вродило.” Кажучи це, Ісус голосно мовив: “Хто має вуха слухати, нехай слухає.” Учні його спитали, що б вона могла значити, оця притча. Він сказав їм: “Вам дано знати тайни Божого Царства; іншим же в притчах, щоб вони, дивлячись, не бачили, і слухаючи, не розуміли.” Ось що значить оця притча; зерно це слово Боже. Тії, що край дороги, це ті, що слухають, та потім приходить диявол і вириває геть з їх серця слово, щоб вони не увірували та й не спаслися. Ті ж, що на камені, це тії, що почувши, з радістю приймають слово, але не маючи коріння, вірують дочасу й під час спокуси відпадають. А те, що впало між тернину, це ті, що вислухавши, ідуть, та клопоти, багатства і життєві розкоші їх душать, і вони не дають плоду. Нарешті те, що на землі добрій, це ті, що чувши слово серцем щирим, добрим, його держать і дають плід у терпінні. Хто має вуха слухати, нехай слухає. Причасний Стих: Хваліте Господа з небес, хваліте Його на висотах. Алилуя, алилуя, алилуя. “To the Light of Resurrection through the Thorns of Catacombs” St. Basil Seminary November 15, 2014 4:00 PM This year we commemorate 25th Anniversary of the Reemergence of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. We cordially invite you to visit exhibit entitled: “To the Light of Resurrection through the Thorns of Catacombs” at St. Basil Seminary in Stamford, CT. The exhibit is sponsored by the “Sophia” Association of the Ukrainian Catholics in U.S. This Exhibit is a collection of unique photo materials and eye-witness testimony of clergy, religious and faithful who live through the years of Church in Catacombs (1939-1991). We cordially invite everyone who wishes to learn about the life of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the 20th century and heroic witness of faith. Виставка «До Світла Воскресіння крізь терни катакомб» 25-ліття виходу УГКЦ з підпілля St. Basil Seminary November 15, 2014 4:00 PM Цьогоріч минає 25 літ з часу легалізації УГКЦеркви. З цієї нагоди запрошуємо відвідати виставку «До Світла Воскресіння крізь терни катакомб» у Семінарії Св. Василія Великого у Стемфорді, Коннект. В Сполучених Штатах ця виставка присутня завдяки зусиллям Товариства «Свята Софія». Виставка базована на споминах очевидців та активних учасників підпілля та на документах державних архівів, фотографій з приватних збірок. У виставці показано життєві історії представників греко-католицького клиру, чернецтва, мирян, у кожній з яких — неповторна людська доля. Всі разом вони є свідченням глибокої християнської віри та незламної вірності своїй Церкві й народу. Хронологічно виставка охоплює період від 1939-го до 1991 рр. та відображає три важливі етапи трагічної і водночас героїчної історії УГКЦ ХХ ст. — насильницьку ліквідацію, підпілля та легалізацію в 1989 р. Запрошуємо на відкриття виставки, під час якого ви матимете нагоду дізнатися про тернистий шлях нашої Церкви в умовах підпілля.
