XLVIII No. 10
he Synod of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church has been held in Canada
on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Greek
Catholic bishop in that country, Bishop NikiTa (Budka). The bishops issued
a special address to the faithful of Canada stressing that the bishops sought to get
to know the life of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic community in that North american country better. We [join in] the meeting, prayer and communication with the
faithful of the UGCC living in Canada in order to assure them of our prayer for
them, our respect and love, reads the document.
When blessed Nikita came to Canada in 1912, he saw the efforts of our people
to get established in the land where they went through many difficulties and obstacles. These people knew well the traditions and customs of their native land but
here they found themselves as if in another world, reads the address.
according to the hierarchs, Bishop Nikita in cooperation with the clergy, monastics and active lay people set about the work of strengthening and development of
the Ukrainian Church and community life in Canada with a great evangelic commitment. Thanks to his efforts and the efforts of his followers, the UGCC in Canada
achieved much during the last century.
Our Church has developed into the first metropolitanate outside Ukraine. it gave
many bishops, priests, monks and nuns to our Church not only in Canada, but also
all over the world. a large number of lay people achieved success in the Canadian
society as teachers and lawyers, doctors and engineers, political figures and military officers, reads the document.
The bishops also expressed gratitude to the faithful of UGCC for their commitment and faithfulness to the work of God which was felt by our Church especially
strongly in the end of 80sbeginning of 90s of the last century when the Lord
granted its nation freedom after the long centuries of persecutions.
We pray that this Synod [has been] an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to fill our
Church afresh and lead us into the future, reads the address.

ortHodox leadernortH aMeriCa'S CHUrCHeS Can Be exaMPle for Ukraine: PORTaGE La PRaiRiE, Manitoba Catholic and
Orthodox churches in Canada and the United States
can be an example for their counterparts in Ukraine,
Canada's top Ukrainian Orthodox leader told the
Ukrainian Catholic Synod of Bishops. Ukrainian
Orthodox Metropolitan Yurij of Winnipeg, Manitoba,
addressing the worldwide synod September 10, told
the bishops it was "evident that our God is blessing us
and helping us develop this better relationship. We also
pray that in Ukraine this same attitude will develop as
well," he said at the first meeting of the synod.
The synod was private, but part of its initial session
was open to media. Metropolitan Yurij told several
dozen Ukrainian Catholic bishops that the North
american Catholic and Orthodox bishops have worked
through the "animosity" that once marked relations
between their churches, and they now collaborate. "in
Ukraine, they have to go through the same kind of
process," he said, and the bishops outside Ukraine
must be patient with their brothers.
While the majority of Ukrainians are Orthodox, they
are divided into three churches: one in communion
with the Russian Orthodox Church, one with a patriarch in kiev and the third known as the autocephalous
Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The forced unification of
the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with the Moscow
Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church in the
1940s "is one of the principal problems," the metropolitan said.
new Star 13

At the Basilica of St Paul in harissa, Lebanon, Melkite Patriarch his Beatitude Gregory iii (Laham)
welcomes his holiness Pope Benedict Xvi, who in the presence of other Patriarchs,
blesses those gathered for the ceremony at which he signed the
Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Medio Oriente.
Next mentioned is the relation between Christians, Jews
and Muslims based upon the theological foundations of
faith: belief in a single Godand to recognize in the other
believer a brother to love and respect.
Two new realities were enumerated: secularism and fundamentalismeach with a healthy aspect, and each with
detrimental aspects which seek to take power for political
ends, at times using violence, over individual conscience
and over religion. The Pope urged all [religious leaders]
to uproot threats which indiscriminately and fatally affect
believers of all faiths.
Migrationexodus or hemorrhageof Christians, who
often feel fearful and humiliated, and flee is a crucial issue.
Noting that the Middle East with few or no Christians is
not the Middle East, His Holiness invited pastors of the
Eastern Churches to help priests and faithful who have fled
keep in contact with their families and their Church. Those
who might receive these refugees are exhorted to allow
them the possibility of worshipping according to their own
traditions. in turn this chapter considers immigrant workers of the Latin Rite from africa, the Far East and indian
sub-continent who often experience discrimination and
injustice,
in Part two, Patriarchs, bishops, priests, seminarians
and consecrated religious are individually addressed. Patriarchs are encouraged to exercise their role as leaders
favoring consultation and collegial action within the
framework of the Council of Catholic Patriarchs of the
Middle East.
Bishops, called a visible sign of the unity in diversity of
the Church are to proclaim God's Word in sometimes difficult situations, and to ensure a wise, honest and transparent management of the temporal goods of the Church.
Priestsand priests-in-training are exhorted to instructeducatethe People of God in the construction of
a civilization of love and unity. Likewise the clergy
whether celibate, or the ancient component of Eastern tradition, marriedare to persue intellectual and spiritual
renewal to be able to transmit an in-depth awareness of the
Word of God and the doctrine of the Church.
why?/why:
Morality
hat with all the political hoopla and mudslinging all-too-evident these days, i suspect
that much pious wind will be added to the
hurricane by self-righteous preachers. (Being a member of the Order of Preachers and myself responsible
for much verbal ventilation, i know whereof i speak!)
inevitably, much such production centers around
morality, and is aimed at getting people into a lather.
Why the lather? My guess is that, since the time of
St. augustinewho, by the way, died in the year 430,
almost 1,600 years agomorality has largely been
focused on body parts found between the neck and the
knees, and how these parts shouldand, most importantly, should notbe used. Lets cut to the chase, shall
we? For many, morality is almost exclusively about
sex, and sex usually gets people into a lather. Sanctimonious preachers lustily inveigh against the evils of
the flesh, and they stand ready to proclaim transgressors from the pulpit.
a definite problem for preachers, however, is that
ones words often come back to haunt one; as
Shakespeare would say, aye, theres the rub! i personally find it entertaining to watch a blubbering evangelist, guilty of doing exactly what he harangued others

deut. 16:20
Creators are we
conception to life with God in His kingdom. The uniqueness of our personhood
is continuously co-created by the decisions made by everyone on earth
whether in the past, present, or future.
We are co-created by our parents, teachers, leaders, role models, friends, society, and nation.
Our personal co-creativity depends on
how we are affected in the use of our
free will to do good. When we decide to act
in a virtuous way we are co-creating with the will of
God. When we engage in vices then we do not
express Gods image and act contrary to Gods love,

to our own detriment and the harm of others.
Prayer leads to the acceptance of the privilege of
the fantastic responsibility of co-working with God.
Greek cliff side that books, manuscripts, icons, and liturgical texts and
traditions presented us with a rich
resource of spiritual direction especially in the absence of a real fleshand-blood guru. So the Desert Fathers
and their buddies became his mentors,
even though they had been dead for
more than 1,000 years, through their
writings.
and now, for those of you who have
access to the myriad forms of media
and publishing platforms, resources
and technology, Metropolitan andrij
or St Gregory the Theologian or St
Theophane the Recluse or Fr Lev
Gillett or St John Climacus or whoever. (id candidly advise you to avoid
archbishop Lefebvre, any ex-priest
married to a lady named Skyhawk,
and to tread carefully through Fr
Seraphim Rose) can be your Spiritual
Father, or you can learn important lessons from several orthodox sources, a
little here, a little there as the Holy Spirit
moves through your life. all you have to
do is open yourself up to him or her or
whoever. We have vast libraries available through ever more numerous media
opportunities. all the best spiritual counsel is right there at our fingertips. its
wonderfully miraculous if you can find
an actual flesh-and-blood kindred soul
willing and able to advise you one-onone, personally; or even if you can receive a bit of wisdom here, and a bit
from there. But its rare these days.
Books are easy and everywhere.

"Feel the commitment to work for the
Churchs mission to be your own," he
exhorted, "through prayer, through
study, through active participation in
ecclesial life, through an attentive and
positive gaze at the world, in the continual search for the signs of the times."
Benedict XVi encouraged "serious
and daily" ongoing formation, saying the
laity are "called to be courageous and
credible witnesses in every sphere of
society, so that the Gospel might be the
light that brings hope in difficult situations, in troubles and in the darkness that
men today so often find along the path of
Ukrainian diaspora.
He thinks the future cathedral should
not only become a significant spiritual
center but also an active cultural center
which will help the faithful who are now
far from their land not to lose Ukraine
in their hearts. The Bishop thanked
Eparch Jose Vilaplan for supporting
UGCCs development in the city of Eciji,
the representatives of the mayor and the
government who approved the allocation
of this land for building this church.

"To guide others to an encounter with
Christ by announcing his message of salvation with language and ways understandable in our own day marked by rapidly transforming social and cultural
advances, is the great challenge of the
new evangelization," he added. "[...] at
this stage in history, work in the light of
the Churchs social teaching to become a
laboratory of 'globalization of solidarity
and charity,' in order to grow with the
entire Church in the co-responsibility of
offering a future of hope to humanity, by
having the courage to make even demanding proposals."

perfect dress to wear, and would be the
best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!
a week later, Jennifer was horrified to
learn that her father's new, young wife had
bought the exact same dress as her mother.
Jennifer asked her father's new young wife
to exchange it, but she refused.
"absolutely not! i look like a million
bucks in this dress, and i'm wearing it," she
replied.
Jennifer told her mother who graciously
said, ''Never mind sweetheart. i'll get another dress. after all, it's your special day.''
a few days later, they went shopping, and
did find another gorgeous dress for her
mother. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ''aren't you going to
return the other dress? You really don't have
another occasion where you could wear it."
Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of
course i do, dear.....i'm wearing it to the
rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.''

uring this discussion, the bishops gratefully noted the dedication and sacrifice
of UGCC laity throughout the history of
the Church, especially its role in preserving their
faith in difficult social-political realities of the
last centuryfour waves of emigration and the
persecution of the Church in its native land. The
holiness of the laity was recognized by the entire
Catholic Church, especially through the beatification of the Pratulyn martyrs and the Blessed
Martyr Volodymyr Pryima, who became examples for Greek Catholics of all times, of faithfulness to ones Church and the willingness to sacrifice oneself in serving it.
The hierarchs highlighted the importance of the
role of the laity in the Church also because it is
precisely from the environment of the deeply
faithful laity that there are numerous callings to
become priests and nuns. in connection with this,
special significance is attributed to the spiritual
guidance and the pastoral care of families as well
as the catechization of children, youth and adults.
