REFLECTION OF THE WEEK

This Sunday,the Gospel is about a man who was born blind,and Jesus made him see. Imagine if you will,what it would be like to be blind from birth and suddenly as an adult you can see. You finally discover what the world is like. You discover what colour is,and many other things are,that as a blind person you did not know. That is what being a Christian is. There are many people who are essentially pagans. Worship in a believing community is not a reality in their lives. If you want to discover what the world is real;ly about,if you really want to see,make Christianity a reality in your life.
Rt Rev. Olexander Kenez

Epiphany (cf. John 10:10)

Church &Life (1833) 5.2.12-2.5.12 no 7 pg 2

Imagine that you had been born blind,and since the days of your childhood,had had to rely on your imagination to piece from sounds and conversation,just how the world looked. Let us say,for arguments sake,that for forty years you had not the sense of sight – but from touch,smell,hearing and taste,you had gained and formulated a vision of your existence and the existence of others. Intelligent and capable as you are,you became successful enough in life to own your own business and to have a family. Continue reading Epiphany (cf. John 10:10)

З нами Бог

Church &Life (1833) 5.2.12-2.5.12 no 7 

Щороку на Велике повечір’я Різдва Христового і Хрещення Ісуса Христа в ріці Йордані,ми постійно повторюємо рядки,які взято з Біблії:«З нами Бог,  розумійте народи,і поклоняйтеся,бо з нами Бог! “Ці рядки із пророка Ісаї звучить цікаво,але все ж,здається,що ми чуємо попередження в цих рядках. Ми чули,і ми віримо,що Церква вчить нас,що “з нами Бог”. Він з нами,тому що Він народився в стайні у Віфлеємі Юдейськім. Він з нами і один з нас,як ми бачимо Його хрещення в ріці Йордані. Він з нами у Святій Євхаристії,яке ми отримуємо через Святе Причастя. Бог повністю з нами. Бог хоче,щоб ми зрозуміти це і стали смиренними. Continue reading З нами Бог
