BASILIAN FATHERS

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church.
Praise be to Jesus Christ! Praise him forever!
We are at the beginning of the forty days spiritual journey towards Easter (Pascha). By definition, the season of
Lent is the time of preparation for Holy Week, leading up to Easter. The three traditional pillars of Lenten
observance are prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Prayer: More time given to prayer during Lent should draw us closer to the Lord. The prayer per excellence is
the Divine Liturgy; therefore lent should be a time for more frequent Divine Liturgy attendance. We might pray
for the grace to live a better Christian life, to be a good Christian role model in our family and community. Each
one of us has particular needs, something we need to let go or overcome, lent is the time to pray for that special
grace. We should never forget to pray for God's blessings for our Church and our Schools.
Fasting: Fasting is one of the most ancient practices linked to Lent. Traditionally, in our Ukrainian Catholic
Church, during the 40 days of lent, we fast on the First day of Lent and Good Friday; we abstain on Wednesdays
and Fridays. Our Church obliges only those from 14-59 years of age, "in good health" to fast and abstain. Many
people over 60 choose to continue to observe the Church's regulations, which they and their families consistently
practiced throughout their lives. Besides fasting and abstinence, throughout Great Lent we should refrain from
joyous celebrations, dancing and other entertainments. When in doubt, you can approach your parish pastor for
advice or, if needed, for a dispensation.
Almsgiving: It should be obvious at this point that almsgiving, the third traditional pillar, is linked to our Lenten
commitment in the same way. It is a sign of our care for those in need and an expression of our gratitude for
everything that God has given us. Works of charity and the promotion of justice are integral elements of the
Christian way of life we began when we were baptized.
We ask our parishioners to be particularly generous to our Church during the 2012 Lenten season. Our beloved
Immaculate Conception Church is undergoing a most needed restoration and needs your continued support. Let
our resolution for this Lenten season be to support and promote the Immaculate Conception Church restoration.
For example, if during the regular season our Sunday donation was $5.00, during the forty days of lent it will be
$10.00, if it was $10, let it be $20.00. This is the best resolution that we can make for this year's Lenten season.
Charity begins at home, where we daily make the choice to give our time, our attention, our affirming smile, and
give generously. But charity must not stop there, because for Christians “home” is universal, and our family is as
big as the world. We need to dig deep and give much where much is needed. But, whenever possible, our charity
should also involve personal acts, not just automatic withdrawals from our bank account. Venerable Pope John
Paul II asked us to see, and be seen by, “the human face of poverty.” We give what we can. Sometimes all we
can give is a smile, but sometimes that is the greatest sacrifice, the greatest prayer, and indeed the most generous
and most sacrificial alms.
Have a blessed Lenten season.
Fr. Daniel Schacisoki, OSBM

Fasting & Abstinence FAQ
What is the difference between fasting and abstinence?
Fasting means to go without food or drink for a determined period of time or
to limit the amount of food one consumes. Abstinence is to abstain from eat-
ing certain foods, for a period of time.
What is the Church's teaching on fasting & abstinence?
Following the Lord's teaching, the Church asks the faithful to fast on certain days and to abstain from meat
and also from dairy products on certain days.
Doesn't the Bible teach that, according to the New Covenant, all food is good?
Yes. Referring to foods considered unclean by the Jews, the Lord told the Chief Apostle St. Peter: "Do not
call anything impure that God has made clean" (Acts11:9). In the Old Law, God asked His Chosen People to
avoid certain kinds of food altogether. The New Covenant removed these regulations, which were based on
dietary precautions. The early Christians were both Jews and Gentiles, and had different dietary customs.
Is fasting not harmful to the body, given to us by God Himself?
Fasting is going without food for a certain period of time. As any human appetite, food can become addic-
tive, or take too much of our human focus. Fasting is an act of the will, whereby we willingly deny our-
selves. Self-denial helps us control our appetites.
Which days are fast days in the Ukrainian Catholic Church?
After the Second Vatican Council, our Ukrainian Synod reduced the fast days to two: The First Day of Lent
and Good Friday.
How are the faithful to observe a fast day? On fast days, we totally abstain from meat and dairy products and take only one full meal. Other meals
should be of smaller proportions, like snacks.
Which days are days of abstinence in our Church? Ukrainian Catholics are obliged to abstain from meat on Fridays of the year, Fridays and Wednesday of the
Great Lent, and on the following days: The Beheading of St. John the Baptist (August 29), the Eve of Christ-
mas (December 24), the Eve of Theophany (January 5), the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14).
How can we remember all those days of abstinence? With only a tiny effort. Parishioners receive a church calendar, on which days of fasting and abstinence are
usually marked with a large fish symbol.
Are all the faithful obliged to fast and abstain?
Our Church obliges only those from 14-59 years of age to fast and abstain on designated days. Many people
over 60 choose to continue to observe the Church's regulations, which they and their families consistently prac-
ticed throughout their lives. Similarly, young children will eat the food that is served in the household.
What if you must attend an important meal on Friday? In many Christian countries, even in restaurants, fish is featured on Fridays. When others see us observing
the Church regulations, we are setting a good example of how much we value our faith and its practices. In
our own homes we must follow Church Law, but when invited to others' homes, we should never insult them
by refusing what they have prepared for us.
What about the sick? Those who are seriously ill should not fast or abstain from meat, if it will harm them. God gave us the gift of
our body; we must moderate our appetites with fasting and abstinence, but not harm that body.
Can a priest give dispensation to eat meat on a day of fasting or abstinence? Not just any priest, but your own parish Pastor has the jurisdiction to dispense you. Dispensations should not
be refused the faithful, except in grave necessity. The point of a dispensation is the self-denial of the will that
a Christian must practice by approaching their spiritual father.
What if a feast day falls on a Friday? We are not obliged to fast or abstain on feast days which are days of celebration. Check your calendar to be
certain.
Should we limit our self-denial to obligatory fast days? Although the Church has greatly relaxed the obligation to fast and abstain, Christians should do so of their
own free will, when and if they are able. More important than food, we need to control our other desires
through other types of self-denial. Abstaining from sin is the goal of physical self-denial.
What about other traditional days of fasting and abstinence? In the past, there were many designated days of fasting and abstinence, especially in Lent. Today, Christians
may choose, of their own accord, to observe the traditional fasts. The Basilian Press Calendar (the one dis-
tributed to our parishioners) has marked traditional non-obligatory days of abstinence with a tiny fish sym-
bol, as opposed to a large fish for obligatory days of abstinence.
What about fish, oil and wine? As stated above, Ukrainian Catholics are obligated to fast on two days of the year and abstain from meat on
Fridays. Other Churches may oblige or recommend their faithful to abstain from fish, oil and wine. Geared to
a Mediterranean diet, these regulations do not pertain to our Church.
What other ways do we practice self-denial in Lent? Besides fasting and abstinence, throughout Great Lent we should refrain from joyous celebrations, dancing
and other entertainments. When in doubt, you can approach your parish Pastor for a dispensation.
Does Advent exist in the Ukrainian Catholic Church? Yes. Ukrainian Catholics refer to the pre-Christmas fast period as Pylypivka or St. Philip's Fast, as it always
begins on the feast of St. Philip the Apostle, November 14. Unlike the Latin Rite, our Advent is not a liturgi-
cal season; we do not see any changes in the Divine Liturgy, Vespers or Matins. Traditionally, we abstained
from meat on Wednesdays and Fridays of Pylypivka & Great Lent.
Doesn't fasting and abstinence belong to a culture of the past? No. Christ taught us that certain evils "can only be driven out by prayer and fasting" (Mt 17:21). Self-denial
and penance are direct teachings of Christ and can never be changed by the Church. Pope John Paul II has
often asks Catholics to fast for peace and for other important intentions.

Дорогі парафіяни і вірні Української Католицької Церкви Непорочного Зачаття
Слава Ісусу Христу! Слава навіки!
Великий Піст це − час приготування до Великого тижня, що безпосередньо провадить нас до свята
Воскресіння Христового. Стовпами цього Великого Посту, котрих ми намагаємося дотримуватися це −
молитва, піст і милостиня.
Молитва. Більше часу присвяченого на молитву впродовж Великого посту, ставить нас у ближчу
присутність перед Господом. Найвищою молитвою є Божественна Літургія. Тому піст повинен бути
часом для частішого відвідування Служб Божих. Ми повинні молитися за ласки, щоб жити кращим
християнським життям, щоб бути добрими християнами і бути прикладом у своїх сім’ях і громаді.
Адже, кожний з нас має свої особливі потреби, дещо ми повинні перебороти, дечому дозволити відійти,
і власне піст є часом для молитви за ці особисті потреби. Також в наших молитвах намагаймося не
забути згадати за Боже благословення для нашої Церкви та шкіл.
Піст. Піст є однієї з найстарших практик Великого Посту. В наших Українських Католицьких Церквах,
традиційно, впродовж 40 днів посту, ми постимо в перший день Великого Посту і в Велику П’ятницю, а
по середах і п’ятницях ми утримуємося від м’яса. Наша церква зобов’язує постити тих кому
виповнилося 14 років, а дорослі повинні дотримуватися посту до 59 року життя, звичайно якщо вони не
хворіють. Однак, як ми знаємо, багато людей котрим виповнилося 60 років продовжують
дотримуватися посту, якого вони і їх родини завжди практикували. Окрім посту і відмовлення від
спиртних напоїв, впродовж Великого Посту ми повинні утримуватися від гучних забав, танців і інших
розваг. В сумнівах або в потребах звільнення від посту просимо звертатися за порадою до місцевого
пароха.
Милостиня. Це є очевидним, що милостиня, в тому самому руслі, також єднає нас зі зобов’язаннями на
Великий піст. Милостиня є знаком нашої опіки за людей в потребі і виражає вдячність за все, що ми
отримали від Бога. Добродійна діяльність і сприяння справедливості є інтегральними частинами
християнської дороги життя котру ми почали після хрищення.
Ми просимо наших парафіян бути особливо щедрими до нашої церкви впродовж Великого посту 2012
року. Церква Непорочного Зачаття потребує реставрації і тому очевидно потребує вашої підтримки.
Підтримаймо та заохочуймо інших під час Великого Посту допомогти в реставрації нашої споруди.
Наприклад, якщо впродовж року наша недільна жертва є 5 долю, то впродовж сорока днів посту це буде
10 дол., якщо це було 10 дол. то нехай це буде 20 дол. Це є найкраще вирішення, що ми можемо зробити
на Великий піст.
Милосердя починається в домі, де ми кожного дня вибираємо, щоб дарувати наш час, нашу увагу, нашу
усмішку. Однак милосердя не зупиняється тут, тому що для християн «дім» це універсальне поняття, і
наша сім’я є така велика, як наш світ. Ми повинні задуматися і дати більше там де цього потребують.
Але кожного разу, коли це можливо в нашому милосерді повинні бути особисті вчинки,а не лише
автоматичне підписання чеку. Світлої пам’яті блаженніший Іван Павло II просив нас, щоб ми бачили
«людське обличчя злиденності». Даруймо те, що можемо. Деколи все, що ми можемо дати − це усмішка,
інколи, це жертвенна посвята, інколи, глибока молитва і все це є насправді найбільш великодушною і
жертвенною милостинею.
Благословенного всім Вам Великого посту.
