Неділя Всіх Святих Руси-України

Sunday of All Saints of Rus’-Ukraine

Today we celebrate the memory of the astonishing and

holy people which the Holy Spirit produced on the lands

of Rus’-Ukraine. The Church shows us these extraordinary

people - key people - who are nonetheless ordinary people,

like us. They are extraordinary because despite all their

weaknesses, their mistakes and their sins they always kept

on moving towards the highest of callings with faith and

faithfulness, with humility and confidence. They hesitated.

They often fell down along the way. They were sometimes

full of anguish, doubt and pain. But they always ended by

getting up again and pushing on towards the light and the

truth, towards love and goodness. Thus they were also very

ordinary people - like us. By honoring the saints we honor

God, for respect shown to them is respect shown to God.

The saints did not become saints through their own power;

their holiness is the result of God’s grace. All they are they owe to God.

Your martyrs’ blood testifies before heaven and earth to your unwavering faith in God. You are our

powerful intercessors before the throne of the Most High. Therefore, with the Mother of God, implore

the heavenly Father, the Saviour Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, a continuous

blessing upon our Church and nation, so that they could joyfully and freely glorify your holy names.

WELCOME TO ALL PARISHIONERS & GUESTS WHO HAVE JOINED US TODAY!

Troparion, Tone 3: Let the heavens be glad, let the earth rejoice,* for the Lord has done a mighty

deed with His arm.* He trampled death by death. He became the first-born of the dead;* He saved us

from the abyss of Hades* and granted great mercy to the world.

Troparion, Tone 4: O you, who glorified Christ:* princes and bishops,* monastics and martyrs,* and

steadfast confessors of Christian Ukraine throughout all times,*pray Christ God to look with favour

on our people* and to grant them the grace to persevere in the faith* that the souls of prayerful

faithful* who revere your sacred memory* may be saved.

+Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Kontakion, Tone 3: You rose from the tomb, O compassionate Lord,* and led us out from the gates

of death.* Today Adam exults and Eve rejoices,* and the prophets together with the patriarchs*

unceasingly acclaim the divine might of Your power.

Now and for ever and ever. Amen.

Kontakion, Tone 4: You shine as bright beacons,* O God-inspired and righteous saints of our

Church.* By your encouraging example,* you serve communities of faithful throughout the

Christian world.* Therefore we humbly bow our heads to you* thanking our great and all-gracious

God* Who has made you our intercessors in heaven* where you pray for our souls.

Prokeimenon: Sing to our God, sing; sing to our King, sing.verse: Clap your hands, all you nations;

shout unto God with the voice of joy. (Psalm 46:7,2)

A Reading from Saint Paul’s letter to the Romans (Romans 8:28-39): Brothers and Sisters, We

know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his

purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,

in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. And those whom he predestined he also

called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.

What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not

withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything

else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It

is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed

intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or

persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being

killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more

than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor

angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor

anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our

Lord.

Alleluia. In You, O Lord, have I hoped that I may not be put to shame for ever.verse: Be a protector

unto me, O God, and a house of refuge to save me. (Psalm 30:2,3)verse: Blessed is the man who

fears the Lord; he shall delight exceedingly in His commandments.verse: His posterity shall be

mighty upon the earth. (Psalm 111:1,2)

Communion Hymn: Praise the Lord from the heavens;* praise Him in the highest.* Rejoice in the

Lord, O you just;* praise befits the righteous.* Alleluia, alleluia,* alleluia.


Тропар (глас 3): Нехай веселяться небесні, нехай радуються земляни, бо показав владу рукою

Своєю Господь. Він смертю смерть подолав, первістком з-поміж мертвих став, визволив нас із

глибин аду, і подав світові велику милість.

Тропар (глас 4): Христославні князі і святителі, преподобні і мученики, і незламні ісповідники

всіх часів християнської України, моліть Христа Бога, щоб він споглянув ласкавим оком на

наш народ, і дав йому ласку витривати у вірі, і щоб спаслися душі богомольних вірних, що

вшановують священну вашу пам’ять.

+Слава Отцю, і Сину, і Святому Духові.

Кондак (глас 3): Воскрес Ти нині з гробу, Щедрий, і нас вивів із брам смерти; нині Адам

веселиться і радіє Єва, разом же і пророки з патріярхами безустанно оспівують божественну

могутність влади Твоєї.

І нині, і повсякчас, і на віки вічні. Амінь.

Кондак (глас 4): Ясними світилами ви сяєте, Богом натхненні праведники нашої церкви, і

прикладом заохотливим служите громадам вірних по всьому християнському світі. Тому-то в

покорі схиляємо перед вами наші голови, дякуючи великому і вселаскавому Богові, що

вчинив вас нашими заступниками в небі і молільниками за душі наші.

Прокімен: Співайте Богові нашому, співайте; співайте цареві нашому, співайте (Пс

46,7).Стих: Всі народи, заплещіть руками, кликніть до Бога голосом радости (Пс 46,2).

До Римлян Послання Святого Апостола Павла Читання (Рим 8,28-39):

Браття і Сестри, Mи знаємо, що тим, які люблять Бога, – покликаним за його постановою,

усе співдіє на добро. Бо яких він передбачив, тих наперед призначив, щоб були подібні до

образу Сина його, щоб він був первородний між багатьма братами; яких же наперед

призначив, тих і покликав; а яких покликав, тих оправдав; яких же оправдав, тих і прославив.

Що скажемо на це? Коли Бог за нас, хто проти нас? Він власного Сина свого не пощадив, а

видав його за всіх нас, – як же разом із ним не подарує нам усього? Хто буде винуватити

вибраних Божих? Бог – той, що оправдує; хто ж той, що засудить? Христос Ісус, який умер, ба

й воскрес, що по правиці Божій, – він заступається за нас. Хто нас відлучить від Христової

любови? Горе чи утиск, чи переслідування, чи голод, чи нагота, чи небезпека, чи меч? Як

написано: «За тебе нас увесь день убивають, уважають нас за овець (призначених) на заріз.»

Але в усьому цьому ми маємо повну перемогу завдяки тому, хто полюбив нас. Бо я певний,

що ні смерть, ні життя, ні ангели, ні князівства, ні теперішнє, ні майбутнє, ні сили ні висота, ні

глибина, ані інше якесь створіння не зможе нас відлучити від Божої любови, що в Христі

Ісусі, Господі нашім.

Алилуя: На тебе, Господи, уповаю, щоб не осоромитися навіки (Пс 30,2).Стих: Будь мені

Богом захисником і домом пристановища, щоб спасти мене (Пс 30,3).Стих: Блажен муж, що

боїться Господа, заповіді Його дуже любі Йому (Пс 111,1).

Причасний: Хваліте Господа з небес,* хваліте Його на висотах. * Радуйтеся, праведні, у

Господі, * правим належить похвала (Пс 32,1). Алилуя *алилуя *алилуя.

treasure towards different renovation projects that are happening in our

church. May the Almighty God bless the work of your hands and reward

Windows Replacement Project!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, At our Parish Council meeting, we discussed the need to

replace 16 windows in the dome of our church for couple of

reasons:

- to save money on our heating bill;- to get proper UV

protection for the new icons;

- since we will already have scaffolding there, this is the best

time to do it.

- to replace cracked windows.

Your contribution towards this important project

is much needed and will be greatly appreciated!

ANNOUNCEMENTS



SUNDAY OF ALL SAINTS OF UKRAINE

Today’s feast day, the SUNDAY OF ALL

SAINTS OF UKRAINE, raises up before our eyes

not just the canonized saints of Ukraine, but all those

other holy ones, the great cloud of unknown saints of

our ancestral lands, known only to God, whose lives

were dedicated to God and the establishment of His

Kingdom here on earth.

And who are among them? Well, we have

such saints in all our own families. They are parents,

grandparents, great grandparents, relatives and

ancestors who lived holy lives (and their lives

revolved around the Church), as well as those

members of our families who sacrificed their own

comfort and resources to support the Church in its

mission to spread the gospel to our people.

They are nuns and teachers who taught us

about our Lord, Jesus Christ, about the Sacraments

and the life of God we receive at Divine Liturgy in Holy Communion. They are friends, who

supported us in our choices to do what is right, what is good, what is noble and best. They

are also our bishops, priests and religious men and women who inspired us, prayed for us,

and prayed with us. They are our brothers and sisters of our parish communities, who would

drop everything to come and help those who were in need, caring for those who were sick or

were in trouble.

Holiness isn’t something that is distant and far removed for us. Quite the contrary, it

is very near and close at hand. For holiness is not some strange way of living.

We recognize today that we are called to be part of that vast multitude of holy ones whose

numbers are so great they cannot be counted. This is All Saints Sunday of all who trace their

roots to the Church of Kyiv, established by St. Volodymyr and Olha – is meant to be your

feast day and mine.

What remains for us to do is to break free from some of the ordinary patterns we may

have established in our daily lives and try something fresh and new. God has fallen in love

with you and me just where we are. All that remains is for us to live lives a little bit closer to

each other, as well as a little bit closer to God. Each and every time we do, we grow in

holiness and we become a little bit more like what God dreamed we could be when He made

us in the first place.

May the love of God fill us with a greater measure of His presence, His power

and His Holy Spirit on this SUNDAY, AS WE COMMEMORATE ALL THE SAINTS

OF UKRAINE, as well as all the remaining days of our lives.
