The Parable of the Sower

How does reading the Parable of the Sower as a

call to conversion chal-lenge you?

What are signs that the Word of God has taken

root and is growing inside a person?

How is the Word of God “alive and active” in the

Church? in you?

“Store up in your minds the Lord’s words which you re-

ceive through your ears, for the Word of the Lord is the

nourishment of the mind … Be careful that the seed re-

ceived through your ears remains in your heart.”

Pope Saint Gregory the Great, Forty Gospel Homilies

On October 9, 2018, His Beatitude Sviatoslav at the Pontifical Synod in Vatican spoke about the need to nourish the prayer spirit among modern youth. Addressing the Holy Father and the Synodal Fa-thers, the Head of the UGCC drew attention to the fact that the Church should teach the modern young peo-ple to pray. "I recall that some of the Synod Fathers spoke a few days ago about the need to pray for youth. I would like to add: you need to pray not only for the youth, but also with the youth. We see that this need is growing very much among young people. There is an ancient tradition in the eastern world: when a young man approaches the elder, first of all he asks him to teach him to pray," said His Beatitude Sviatoslav.

He also told the participants of the Synod of a study that was held in all dioceses of the UGCC in Ukraine and the Diaspora. The purpose of this survey was to help the Church understand who, how and when teaches young people to pray. "We discovered an un-expected and quite disturbing reality for ourselves," said His Beatitude Sviatoslav. "Whole generations grew up who have never seen their parents pray. Some respond-ents answered that they participated in divine services, but never saw that the priest prayed himself or with them. Most young people responded that they learned to pray from their peers during pilgrimages. A significant part of the survey respondents said that today there are very few people who could teach them to pray."

"That's why we asked our monasteries and Bishops to open their homes and create schools of prayer for youth," said the Head of the UGCC. He also thanked the ecumeni-cal community of Taizé, "which becomes the world center for prayer for youth, which creates a whole culture of prayer. Thank you for organizing prayer days in L'viv (Ukraine), where you created the atmosphere of a common youth prayer for Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants." Participants of the Pontifical Synod responded to the speech of the Head of the UGCC with loud applause. http://news.ugcc.ua/en/news/ Secretariat of the Head of the UGCC in Rome

Youth is the most important period of life when we can reveal and realize our vocation. Once we comprehend that someone needs us, and we do something really significant – de-pression (and even suicide) won’t longer threat us. That was an opinion formed by His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Head and Father of UGCC in interactive program “An Open Church” of “Zhyve.TV” on the subject of “Youth: the way to Church”. “Being young is the best period in our life. Nevertheless, when young people face new challenges and problems, they may lose hearts”, Head of UGCC pointed out. “In spiritual life depression is sometimes considered as despair. From the perspective of spirituality, despair is evil’s temptation. Thus, the first advice is not to succumb to tempta-tion! Life is extremely beautiful. Even though we sometimes lose the purpose of life, it doesn’t mean we have to lose a life itself. We have to search for its sense!”, Head of Church assured. Head of Church assumes that there are no hopeless undertakings, and probably, the way out is somewhere across. “If you really get into a situation when you feel you want to give up – I encourage all of you to talk to God, talk to other people. Don’t close into yourselves!” Head of Church signaled that a contemporary world is hyperemotional, and youth lives in virtual environment. And when people feel they lack emotions it looks like emptiness. “Cherish human’s relationships. Overcome loneliness with a help of a community!”, His Be-atitude Sviatoslav highlighted.

St. Athanasius

The Rite of Confession

456 Confession is made before

a priest, who is a witness of

the sinner’s repentance and a

mediator of God’s forgiveness:

Know, O child, that Christ him-

self, our Saviour, who knows all

the hidden secrets of people’s

hearts, is invisibly present, ac-

cepting your confession. There-

fore do not conceal from me,

whether from shame or from

fear, anything of your sins ... Be-

ware that, having come for heal-

ing, you do not leave unhealed. At

the same time, the priest helps

penitents to know the state of

their soul, confirms their faith in

God’s forgiveness, offers spiritual

counsel, designates an appropri-

ate spiritual remedy (in Greek,

epitimia, i.e., pen-ance), and gives

the absolution. As regards the contents of a penitent’s confession, the priest is obliged to

maintain the strictest secrecy, even after the penitent’s death.
