EPISTLE: 1 TIMOTHY 4:9-15

This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance. For this we toil and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things. Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Until I arrive, attend to the reading, exhortation, and teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was conferred on you through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate. Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to everyone.

GOSPEL: LUKE 19:1-10

He came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zac-chaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.” But Zac-chaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over. And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abra-ham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

We hear that there was a good turn out of volunteers last month. Very early on a Friday and Saturday morning, Fr. Joe and a few hardy volunteers arrived to started all the preparations to ensure a smoother start for the rest of our volunteers at 8 a.m. There was work, good fun, nice fellowship and delicious food, resulting in 244 dozen pirohi made and available for sale. In other words, the nimble fingers and hands of our Pirohi Pinchers produced 2,928 tasty pirohi (the Rusyn singular is piroho, plural is pirohi). Certainly these were dedication and a result worthy of the thanks, esteem, and patronage of our parish community!

***********************************************************************************************Let’s love our dead across time and space! All Souls Saturdays start Feb. 23!

Following the Byzantine Catholic tradition, five Saturdays of the year are set aside for the remembrance of the departed members of our families and of our friends. In 2019, the first All Souls Saturday is February 23rd. Using the envelope provided in your packet or on a sheet of paper, please submit the names of those you which to have remembered at the Divine

Liturgy on these five Saturdays. Only write the first names of the individuals to be commemo-rated; if the list of names is the same as last year, simply write “same as last year,” or write “add the following name (s) to my list.” Return your requests to the parish office by mail or by placing them in the collection basket. Deadline for returns is Sunday, February 17th. By updating your diptychs (also known as “hramoty” lists), we make sure that all our beloved dead are prayed for not only by ourselves but by the whole parish and Church too!

Healing for Soul & Body are Available from the Eastern Catholic Clergy of Arizona

As occurred during Philip’s Fast in preparation for the Nativity of the Lord, the Eastern Catholic clergymen of our state will cooperate to offer all of us Eastern Catholics – Byzantines and others – a special opportunity to prepare in body and soul for Pascha (a.k.a Easter Sunday or the Day of Resurrection), the holiest and most joyful day of the year. On Sunday, March 31 at 6 p.m.,

there will be a Healing Service (a.k.a. Anointing Service) at Holy Dormition Ukrainian Catholic Church (3720 W. Maryland Ave., Phoenix). After the Healing Service, Confessions will be avail-able. During Great and Holy Lent, the best way to prepare for the Resurrection of Christ is the Mystery of Repentance!
