FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

Неділя 5 березня 2017

ПЕРША НЕДІЛЯ ПОСТУ

Divine Liturgy: Weekdays – 9:00 am; Feast Day – 9:00 am, 7:00 pm; Sunday Schedule: Saturday — 5:00 pm (English)

Sunday – 10:00 am (Bilingual) Baptisms & Weddings by Appointment

quered kingdoms, did what was just, obtained the

promises; they broke the jaws of lions, put out rag-

ing fires, escaped the devouring sword; though

weak they were made powerful, became strong in

battle, and turned back foreign invaders. Women

received back their dead through resurrection. Oth-

ers were tortured and would not receive deliver-

ance, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Still

others endured mockery, scourging, even chains

and imprisonment. They were stoned, sawed in

two, put to death at sword's point; they went about

garbed in the skins of sheep or goats, needy, af-

flicted, tormented. The world was not worthy of

them. They wandered about in deserts and on

mountains, they dwelt in caves and in holes of the

earth. Yet despite the fact that all of these were

approved because of their faith, they did not obtain

what had been promised. God had made a better

plan, a plan which included us. Without us, they

were not to be made perfect. Therefore, since we

for our part are surrounded by this cloud of wit-

nesses, let us lay aside every encumbrance of sin

which clings to us and persevere in running the

race which lies ahead. Let us keep our eyes fixed

on Jesus, who inspires and perfects our faith.

Alleluia Verses: Moses and Aaron are among His

priests and Samuel among those who call upon His

name.

They called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

Gospel: John 1:43-51

Instead of 'Indeed, it is fitting': In you, Lady full

of grace, all creation rejoices, the world of angels

and the human race. Sanctified temple, spiritual

paradise, boast of virgins, God took flesh from you

and became a child; He was God before the ages.

He made your womb a throne and made it more

encompassing than the heavens. In you, Lady full

of grace, all creation rejoices, glory be to you.

Communion Hymn: Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest.

Exult, you just, in the Lord; praise from the up-

right is fitting. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Sunday, March 5, 2017 FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

Tropar, Tone 1: Though the stone was sealed by the Jews* and soldiers guarded Your most pure

body,* You arose, O Savior, on the third day,* and

gave life to the world.* And so the heavenly powers

cried out to You, O Giver of life:* Glory to Your

resurrection, O Christ!* Glory to Your kingdom!*

Glory to Your saving plan,* O only Lover of Man-

kind.

Tropar, 1st Sunday of Lent, tone 2:

We pay homage to Your undefiled image, Good

Lord,* and beg pardon for our faults, Christ our

God.* By Your will You chose to mount the cross

in Your flesh* to free Your creatures from slavery

to the enemy.* For this we gratefully cry out to

You:* "By coming to save the world, our Saviour,

You filled all things with joy."

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the

Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever. Amen!

Kondak of the first Sunday of Lent, tone 8: The

uncircumscribed Word of the Father* became cir-

cumscribed by being enfleshed from you, God-

bearer.* You brought back the stained image to its

original state* by infusing it with divine beauty.*

But recognizing our salvation we portray it by word

and deed.

Prokimen, tone 4: Blessed are you, and praisewor-

thy, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and glorious

forever is your name.

Verse: For you are just in aII you have done.

Epistle: A reading from the Epistle to the Hebrews (11: 24 -26; 32 -12: 2)

Brothers and Sisters! By faith Moses, when he had

grown up, refused to be known as the son of Phar-

aoh's daughter; he wished to be ill-treated along

with God's people rather than enjoy the fleeting

rewards of sin. Moses considered the reproach

borne by God's Anointed greater riches than the

treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the re-

ward. What more shall I recount? 1 have no time to

tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David

and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith con-

Тропар, глас 1: Хоч запечатали камінь юдеї,* і воїни стерегли пречисте тіло Твоє,* воскрес Ти,

Спасе, на третій день,* даруючи життя світові.*

Тому сили небесні взивали до Тебе, Життєдавче:*

Слава воскресінню Твоєму, Христе,* слава царству Твоєму,* слава провидінню Твоєму,*

єдиний Чоловіколюбче!

Тропар першої неділі посту, глас 2:

Пречистому образові твоєму поклоняємося, благий,* просячи прощення прогрішень наших,

Христе Боже,* бо волею благоволив єси плоттю

зійти на хрест,* щоб ізбавити тих, що їх створив єси, від неволі ворожої.* Тому благодарственно

кличемо Тобі:* Ти радістю сповнив усе, Спасе наш, прийшовши спасти світ.

Слава Отцю, і Сину, і Святому Духові, і нині, і повсякчас, і на віки вічні. Амінь.

Кондак першої неділі посту, глас 8: Неописане Слово Отче* із тебе, Богородице, воплоченням

описалося* і, осквернений образ* у давнє зобразивши,* з божественною добротою

з'єдинило,* та ісповідуючи спасення,* ділом і словом ми це являємо.

Прокімен, глас 4: Благословенний Ти, Господи,

Боже батьків наших, і хвали достойний; ім'я Твоє преславне на всі віки.

Стих: Бо ти праведний у всьому, що вчинив єси нам.

Апостол: До Євреїв послання святого апостола Павла читання (11: 24 - 26; 32 -12:2)

Браття і Сестри! Вірою Мойсей, коли був виріс, відрікся зватися сином дочки фараона;

волів радше страждати разом з людом Божим, ніж

зазнавати дочасної гріховної втіхи, бо, дивлячись на нагороду, вважав за більше багатство наругу

вибраного народу від скарбів Єгипту. І що ще скажу? Часу не вистане мені, коли почну

розповідати про Гедеона, про Варака, про

Самсона, про Єфту, про Давида й Самуїла та пророків, що вірою підбили царства, чинили

справедливість, обітниць осягнули, загородили

пащі левам, силу вогню гасили, вістря меча уникали, ставали сильні, бувши недолугі, на війні проявили мужність, наскоки чужинців відбивали. Жінки діставали своїх померлих, які воскресали. Інші загинули в муках, відкинувши

визволення, щоб осягнути ліпше воскресіння. Інші наруг і бичів зазнали та ще й кайданів і в'язниці; їх каменовано, розрізувано пилою,

брано на допити; вони вмирали, мечем забиті; тинялися в овечих та козячих шкурах,

збідовані, гноблені, кривджені; вони, яких світ був невартий, блукали пустинями, горами,

печерами та земними вертепами. І всі вони,

дарма, що мали добре засвідчення вірою, не одержали обіцяного, бо Бог зберіг нам щось краще, щоб вони не без нас осягли

досконалість. Тому і ми, маючи навколо себе таку велику хмару свідків, відкиньмо всякий

тягар і гріх, що так легко обмотує, і біжімо

витривало до змагання, що призначене нам,

вдивляючися пильно в Ісуса, засновника й

завершителя віри.

Стихи на Алилуя: Мойсей і Арон між Його священиками, і Самуїл між тими, що Його імя прикликають.

Вони Господа прикликали, і Він відповів їм.

Євангелія: Від Йоана 1: 43 - 51

Замість 'Достойно...': Тобою радується, Благодатная, всяка твар, ангельський собор і чоловічеський рід, освящений храме і раю

словесний, дівственна похвало, що із неї Бог воплотився і младенцим став, перед віками

сущий Бог наш. Лоно бо твоє престолом

сотворив і утробу твою просторішою небес учинив. Тобою радується, Благодатная, всяка твар, слава тобі.

Причасний: Хваліте Господа з небес, хваліте Його на висотах.

Радуйтеся, праведні, в Господі, правим

належить похвала. Алилуя! Алилуя! Алилуя!

A Film by GEORGE MENDELUK

BITTER HARVEST Based on one of the most overlooked tragedies of the 20th century, Bit-

ter Harvest is a powerful story of love, honor, rebellion and survival as

seen through the eyes of two young lovers caught in the ravages of Jo-

seph Stalin’s genocidal policies against Ukraine in the 1930s. As Stalin

advances the ambitions of communists in the Kremlin, a young artist

named Yuri (Max Irons) battles to survive famine, imprisonment and

torture to save his childhood sweetheart Natalka (Samantha Barks) from

the “Holodomor,” the death-by-starvation program that ultimately killed

millions of Ukrainians. Against this tragic backdrop, Yuri escapes from

a Soviet prison and joins the anti-Bolshevik resistance movement as he

battles to reunite with Natalka and continue the fight for a free Ukraine.

Filmed on location in Ukraine, this epic love story brings to light one of the most devastating

chapters of modern Europe. The stellar cast also includes Barry Pepper, Tamer Hassan and

Terence Stamp. Director George Mendeluk co-wrote the screenplay with Richard Bachynsky-

Hoover based on Bachynsky-Hoover’s original story. The film is produced by Ian Ihnatowycz,

Stuart Baird, George Mendeluk, Chad Barager and Jaye Gazeley. Dennis Davidson, Peter D.

Graves and William J. Immerman serve as executive producers. Richard Bachynsky-Hoover is

executive producer (Ukraine). The film will be released in Canada by dFilms on March 3, 2017.

Group sales of tickets are available. We would encourage your parishes and associated

organizations, to take advantage of this opportunity.

Please don't delay, though. The showing of films is a commercial venture, and if people

aren't going to the theater, the film will close.

So take advantage of the opportunity.
