Під Твою милість і Твій покров прибігаємо

Початок вшанування Богородиці Діви Марії сягає початку людського роду.Щоправда тоді лише уявляли, що колись буде така особа, через яку прийде Месіяна землю. Ми є свідками і учасниками Спасительної цієї місії.Отож, коли після упадку прародичів, упадку людства, були сказані словаГосподом Богом: “Я покладу ворожнечу між Тобою і жінкою і між Твоїм потомствомта її потомством”, тоді ті слова сказані до змія-диявола, спокусника Єви й Адама,вже тоді давали надію цілому людству на спасіння, що здійснилося черезнайсвятішу жінку – пречисту Діву Марію, Богородицю, переможницю змія-дияволау всіх людських душах, котрі повірять в Її сина Ісуса Христа як свого Спасителя.Спасаюча дія жінки над всіма жінками, не завершилась лише із народженнямМесії і допомогою в Його служінні, але мало продовження ще й після Голгофи.Бачивши Ісус Матір і біля Неї учня, що стояв, – а його ж любив Він, –мовить до Матері: «Жінко, ось син Твій». А тоді й до учня мовить: «Осьматір твоя». І від тієї хвилі учень узяв її до себе. Йо. 19, 25-27 Ці слованашого Спасителя були звернені до “учня”. Ми є також учнями Христа, отожзвернені й до нас. Вони закликають кожного християнина стати сином/дочкоюМатері Божої. Марія опікувалася учнями і була з ними. Так і ми можемо прибігатидо Неї в скорботах і радощах, призивати її на поміч у всіх немочах і тривогах,ділитися радостями і успіхами. Вона подасть нам утішення, захист, підтримку ібуде нашою Заступницею перед Всевишнім.

A Prayer for Mothers

Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women oftheory who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You whobecame human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to facethe uncertain future that life with children always brings.

Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly.Give them the faithful support of husband, family and friends as they care for thephysical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in theirchildren to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them thewisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. Amen.

МОЛИТВА ЗА МАТЕРІВБоже, Ти вибрав Непорочну Діву Марію Матір’ю СвогоСина, благослови всіх матерів на землі, обдаруй їхздоров’ям, наповни їх спокоєм і радістю, винагороди їхщастям, якого так чекають всі люди, а після довгого життяземного приведи до життя вічного. Просимо Тебе: вчинитак, щоб людський рід пишався святістю своїх матерів.Допоможи їм виховати своїх дітей на славу Тобі, Боже,для добра Церкви та на потіху Батьківщині, через ІсусаХриста, Господа нашого. Амінь.

Люблячий Боже, ми дякуємо тобі за любов наших матерів, яких дав ти нам, яка єбезцінна і яких терпеливість безконечна. Нехай твоя любляча рука буде з ними таїх провадить! Ми молимося за усіх матерів і просимо Тебе благословити їхТвоєю благодаттю. Маріє, Мати Божа і наша Мати, молися за усіх матерів, щобвони виконували свої материнські обов'язки. Допоможіть їм любити,підтримувати і піклуватися про кожне людське життя з моменту зачаття досмерті. Нехай вони стануть добрим прикладом для своїх дітей. Мати Божа,молись за наших дітей, щоб вони були вірними послідовниками Твого СинаІсуса. Щедротами і чоловіколюб’ям Єдинородного Сина твого, з яким тиблагословен єси, з Пресвятим, благим і Животворним Твоїм Духом, нині і

повсякчас і на віки вічні. Амінь.

PRAYER FOR MOTHERS

May we seeyour loving hand behind them and guiding them. We ask youto bless them with your own special love. Mary, Mother ofGod and our Mother, pray for all mothers, that they mayfulfill their maternal responsibilities. Help us love, sustainand care for each human life from the moment of conceptionuntil death. Let them be a good example to their children.

Mother of God, pray for our children, so that they may be faithful followers of yourSon Jesus. Grant this through the mercies and love for mankind of your only-begottenSon with whom you are blessed, together with your allholy, good and life-giving Spirit,now and for ever and ever. Amen.

M E M O R A N D U MFrom: Most Rev Paul Chomnycky OSBM

Speaking at his weekly general audience at the Vatican on April 20, 2016, the HolyFather spoke for all of us when he said that he was especially concerned that “Ukraine’s populationhas been suffering for some time the consequences of an armed conflict, forgotten by many.” Hehas called for a special collection for Ukraine in all Catholic churches in Europe on April 24th insupport of his humanitarian initiative. His Beatitude Sviatoslav, has asked all our UkrainianCatholic Churches in the diaspora to join in this endeavor also.

As a result, and in all charity, we request such a collection be taken in all our parishes at allLiturgies. However, because many of the parishes in our eparchy are celebrating Willow Sundayon April 24th, we ask that the collection be postponed until Sunday, May 8. 2016.

Kindly make this announcement at all Liturgies this coming Sunday. Please urge yourparishioners to be as generous as possible! The proceeds of the collection for Ukraine are to beforwarded to the Chancery immediately after May 8th. Thank you for your support and cooperation.На заклик Святішого Отця Папи Франціска та Блаженнішого Патріярха Святослава,просимо всі парафії у Стемфордській Єпархії провести збірку - на потреби постраждаючихз війни в Україні - у неділю, 8-го травня, ц.р. Просимо заохотити вірних до щедрихпожертв!

TROPAR (Tone 6) : The angelic powers appeared at Your tomb and the guards became lifeless.Mary came to the tomb seeking Your most pure body. You conquered and made captive hell,without being touched by it. You met the Virgin and bestowed life. O Lord, who rose from the dead,glory to You!

Page 9: 0.Ukra=ns;ka Katolyc;ka Cerkva Sv. Arxystratyha Myxa=la · WELCOME to Our Visitors and Guests We, welcome you to our community. We are honored and pleased for your participation at

KONDAK (Tone 6) : When You fulfilled the plan of salvation for us and united all things on earth tothose in heaven, O Christ our God, You ascended in glory; never leaving us, but ever-present. ForYou proclaimed to those who love You: "I am with you and no one has power over you."

PROKIMEN (Tone 7) : Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and let Your glory be over all theearth.Verse: My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready. I will sing, I will sing Your praise.Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and let Your glory be over all the earth.

A READING FROM THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (Acts20:16-18; 28-36)

ALLELUIA (Tone 1) : The God of gods, the Lord has spoken and summoned the earth, from therising of the sun to its setting. Alleluia! (3)Verse: Summon before Me my people who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice. Alleluia! (3)

INSTEAD OF "It is truly proper"O my soul, extol the Lord Who in glory ascended bodily into heaven.We, the faithful, with one accord extol You, O Mother of God; for, in a manner beyond ourunderstanding and expression, you gave birth in time to the Lord, Whom time cannot contain.

COMMUNION HYMN: Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest!Alleluia! (3)

Rejoice in the Lord, you just men; praise benefits the upright! Alleluia! (3)

NOTE:

INSTEAD OF "We have seen the true light. . . " and "May our lips be filled..."(3)Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and let Your glory be over all the earth.(3)

Be lifted up! - The ascension of Christ is our elevation. Hope for the body is also invited wherethe glory of the Head precedes us. Let us exult, dearly beloved, with worthy joy and be glad witha holy thanksgiving. Today we not only are established as possessors of paradise, but we haveeven penetrated the heights of the heavens in Christ. (St Leo the Great, Sermon 73)

Homage paid to human freedomAlthough God revealed Himself most fully in the person of Jesus Christ, He remains an eternalmystery to us. The words of the prophet Isaiah hold true: “Truly, thou art a God who hidestthyself, O God of Israel, the Savior” (Is 45:15). Since God wants every one of us to be unitedwith Him in love and attain perfect happiness in heaven, our encounter with Him may notbe forced or constrained; it must be freely willed. The Creator calls us into existence, but Heremains a hidden God so as not to overwhelm us by the awesome power of His truth andbeauty. Consequently, it is we who decide to declare ourselves for or against Him. God’slove is meek and defenseless, since we can scorn and reject it. It becomes an all-powerfulforce only when we freely accept it.Christianity is the only religion founded on the belief that God came into this world as a realman – a man, born in Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary, who suffered, died on the cross inJerusalem, and rose on the third day. That God, who revealed Himself fully in Jesus Christ,should remain a hidden God is a central truth of the Christian faith. Once again, let us stressthat God remains “hidden” from us, “inaccessible” to our senses and reason (i.e. He doesnot force Himself upon us or compel us to accept His existence) precisely because of Hisabiding respect for the gift of freedom which He bestowed upon us. God wants to enjoy aloving relationship with us, but He can only do this when we are free. Thus, in revealingHimself while at the same time remaining hidden, God not only demonstrates His love for usbut also pays homage to our human freedom.
