Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, CSsR Shrine Bishop - Martyr
Served by the Ukrainian Catholic Redemptorists
Слава Ісусу Христу! Glory be to Jesus Christ! Dear Parishioners,
We have entered the time of Great Lent. It is a time not only to prepare for Easter, but also for Holy Week, which is the most sacred time of year for all Christians. To further our understanding of Great Lent, allow me to put forth the word: Unsubscribe.
I find it amazing how quickly my inbox will fill up with emails that are not really important, such as a notice for a sale at a local store, coupons, new alerts, daily inspirational quotes, the latest sports scores, etc. Does this sound familiar?
Chances are that we may have subscribed to these email alerts. At first, we may have thought that such email alerts would be valuable, but not so now. They take up space in our inboxes. If we open these emails, we soon recognize that we are wasting our precious time. Once we realize this, we scroll down to the bottom of the email and press the unsubscribe link, into order stop these unwanted emails. When we unsubscribe, the emails could stop at once, or a message may appear telling us that to be removed from the mailing list could take up to “14 days”.
The time of Great Lent is a time to unsubscribe from anything that is preventing us from encountering God’s love and forgiveness. Such things could be fear, worry, the past, idle chatter, indifference, apathy, anger, hatred, just to name a few. To unsubscribe from these things may take more than “14 days”. Great Lent gives us “40 days” to start working on our unsubscribing. As this process happens, room is created in our greatest “inbox”, our hearts. When there is more room in our hearts for God, then our spirts are revived. This will cause us to be more alive, which will truly allow ourselves to experience and celebrate Easter.
As we journey through Great Lent this year, may it be a time to unsubscribe, so our hearts may be revived, and we become more alive.
Peace & Prayers, Fr. Dmytro PS During Great Lent we are encouraged to pray, fast, and do good works (almsgiving). These spiritual tools can greatly help us in the process of unsubscribing from anything that is preventing us from coming closer to God. Also, daily praying the great prayer of St. Ephrem, which is in today’s bulletin, is a great way to unsubscribe from things that do not help us, and at the same time, to ask God for the things we need.
Христос посеред нас! Christ is among us!

FASTING REGULATIONS FOR GREAT LENT
Simple Fasting requires the faithful not to consume meat, during all Fridays throughout the year, including the Holy Season of Great Lent, with certain exceptions.
Simple Fasting is recommended on Wednesdays during the Holy Season of Great Lent for the intention of world peace, gratitude for the gift of life and for vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Strict Fasting requires the faithful not to consume meat, eggs and dairy products. Strict Fasting occurs on the first day of Great Lent, February 24 and on Good Friday, April 10.
The following have been given a general dispensation from fasting: - Persons who are spiritually or physically ill - sick and convalescent - those who work strenuously
- pregnant women and nursing mothers - those who have reached the age of 60 years Bishops, pastors and confessors may grant a dispensation from the fasting guidelines in case of necessity,
in conformity with the spirit of our Church.

In No Greater Love, You Will Experience
the Unconditional Love Christ Has for You!
Prayer of St. Ephrem
The Prayer of St. Ephrem is a special prayer that we are invited to pray during the weekdays (morning and evening) of Great Lent. It is a prayer of true repentance: it shows that we want to make a change in our lives.
O Lord and Master of my life, keep from me the spirit of indifference and discouragement, lust of power, and idle
chatter. (Prostration)
Instead, grant to me, Your servant, the spirit of wholeness of being, humble-mindedness, patience, and love. (Prostration)
O Lord and King, grant me the grace to be aware of my sins and not to judge my neighbour, for You are blessed, now and for ever and ever. Amen. (Prostration)
(Then, with a simple bow, the following is repeated four times.)
God, be merciful to me, a sinner. God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me. Lord, forgive me; for I have sinned without number.
(Once more, the entire Prayer of St. Ephrem is recited without the usual prostrations.
One prostration is made at the conclusion.)
Shrine Volunteers Urgently needed -The Bishop Velychkovsky Martyr`s Shrine is in need of volunteers,
who could spend time in the Shrine once a week between 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Many of our volunteers
are no longer able to commit to this work because of health issues. If you desire to spend some time in a
quiet and spiritual atmosphere please contact Iris at the Shrine office 204-338-7321. No experience
needed.
