Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, CSsR Shrine Bishop - Martyr

Served by the Ukrainian Catholic Redemptorists

Слава Ісусу Христу! Glory be to Jesus Christ!

“Blessed are those that can give without

remembering and receive without forgetting.”

Dear Parishioners,

Whether it is south of the border or in our own country, have you noticed the type of

atmosphere that is currently surrounding political issues. It seems that “attacking” sells. In other

words, it appears that this style of communication catches the attention of many. Unfortunately, this

style might spill into our own lives and without even noticing, in both big and small ways, we may be

relating to each other in this way. It should go without saying that this does not please our Lord.

What can be done to counter such an atmosphere? A possible answer can be found in the quote above.

Just a few days ago, I came across this quote by the British poet, Elizabeth Bibesco. Reflecting

on her words this thought arose: the acts of “remembering” and “forgetting” are always guided by the

amount of importance (priority) we give to what we choose to remember and what we choose to

forget. Please consider the following thoughts to ponder. Do we allow our faith to guide our

priorities? Do we allow our faith to influence what we remember?

To remember in a way that pleases the Lord does take an effort. It must be worked upon over

and over again. Today, September 1st is the beginning of the Church New Year. Once again, we enter

into the sacred cycle of feast days of our Lord, the Mother of God, and saints. Within the Church year

there are times of celebrating, fasting, realizing our need for God’s healing forgiveness, and how to

love one another. The Church year through our worship helps us to remember what is important and

what is not.

Throughout our Divine Liturgy, we come across the word “remember”. This “liturgical”

remembering is meant not just to recall the past, but more importantly to make real, in the present

moment, what is being remembered. The ultimate result of this is that we are more aware of the

presence of God in our lives. And when we are more aware that God is with us, then it is easier to

remember what is important and to forget what is not.

Peace & Prayers,

Fr. Dmytro

Христос посеред нас! Christ is among us!

The Redemptorists and parishioners of St. Joseph’s extend a warm welcome to all our guests. Thank you for worshipping with us today.
