St. Nicholas the Wonderworker St. Nicholas’ title ‘Wonderworker’ comes

from the multitude of reports of miracles that occurred due to his intercession, during his

life and after. As he had secretly delivered gold to the destitute father of 3 daughters, he

miraculously delivered gold to an Italian

merchant ship filled with grain to sail and deliver the grain to the famine stricken city of

Myra, thus saving the city from starvation.

Another miracle was that of Nicholas’ conversion of the local governor who had been bribed to condemn 3 innocent men to

death. The saint approached the executioner just as he was about to raise his sword and behead the innocent men,

Nicholas stopped him and removed it from his hand. He then

approached the governor and denounced this unjust action. The governor, converted by St. Nicholas’ words, repented and

asked forgiveness. He continues to intercede for us to this day.

During the 1920s in the Podil section of Kyiv, there lived a widow with her son and daughter. The widow had a great

devotion to St. Nicholas, and would pray before his icon always receiving consolation and ease during misfortune. Her

son became an officer. Kyiv changed hands during the

constant fighting between the Red Army, White Army, Ukrainian, Germans and Poles. The Red Communists arrested

all former officers on the spot, her son among them. His sister

rushed from one office to the other getting nowhere, while his

mother prayed to St. Nicholas convinced that the saint

would intervene.

The next day the son returned home, beaten, hungry and

weary. According to him, the officers were (cont. on pg. 3) (prod. na stor. 3)

Непорочне Zачаття Пресвятої Богородиці

Поміж святими, яких

н а ш а с в я т а Ц е р к в а

вшановує, Мати Божа

займає перше місце. Вона

єдина поміж усіма людьми,

яка ніколи й ні в чому не

образила Господа Бога.

Вона є єдиною особою,

яку Господь зберіг від

первородного гріха, щоб на ній не було жодної

гріховної плями.

Святий Архангел Гавриїл у Благовіщенні каже

Богородиці: "Радуйся Благодатна, Господь з тобою!

Благословенна ти між жінками" (Лк 1,29). Це означає,

що Вона є найпершою й найсвятішою між усіма

жінками й взагалі між усіма людьми.

Свята Церква навчає, що всі люди, які

народжуються на цей світ, перебувають у стані

первородного гріха. Це означає, що вони є позбавлені

освячуючої Божої ласки, а разом з цим і спадкоємства

Царства Небесного. Первородний гріх всі люди

успадкували від наших прародичів Адама та Єви, які

згрішили і своїм гріховним вчинком, віддали нас під

вплив диявола.

Первородний гріх, наче та страшна заразлива

пошесть, поширився на всіх нащадків Адама, тобто на

цілий людський рід.

Тільки ОДНА особа з-поміж усіх людей, яка ніколи

не була під впливом диявола — це Мати Божа –

Пречиста Діва Марія. Особливою волею Божою, була

збережена від первородного гріха, заради заслуг свого

Божого Сина — Ісуса Христа. Крім того, Вона ніколи у

своєму житті не образила Небесного Отця.

Її навіть не торкнулася тінь найменшого

повсякденного гріха. Вона цим самим розтоптала

голову диявола (змія), відвічного ворога людства, який

нас усіх підштовхує до гріхів.

Другою причиною того загального вшанування

Пречистої Діви є те, що вона стала матір’ю

Богочоловіка Ісуса Христа та матір’ю цілого людства.

Ісус Христос визначив це тоді, коли, висячи на хресті,

звернувся до Пречистої Діви Марії зі словами: "Жінко

це син твій", а після звертаючись до учня – апостола

Йоана Євангеліста, сказав, "Це мати

being led to a hippodrome near the Monastery of the Caves

to be executed. On the way o the hippodrome a little old

man approached the officer in charge of the executions

and asked him; “What are you doing?” The commandant

replied that they are going to be shot, and said; “Go away

old man.” The old man left, but in doing so took the

woman’s son by the hand and said; “Let him go, I know

him.” The commandant and guards did not stop him. He

led the boy around the corner and said; “Go home to your

mother.” The mother overjoyed took her son to the church

to thank St. Nicholas. As she led him to the icon of St.

Nicholas, the boy turned ashen, trembled and whispered to

his mother. “Mother dear, that’s the old man who led me to

freedom.” God is wondrous in His Saints.

Immaculate Conception Didn’t Mary need a Savior, haven’t we all sinned and fallen short of God’s grace?

“We pronounce and define that the doctrine which states that the Most Blessed Virgin Mary was in the first instant of

her conception, by the singular grace and privilege of God, in

view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.” (Pope

Pius IX, 1854) “Christ, as the Church teaches, conquered the enemy of the human race alone. In the same way, He alone

acquired the grace of Redemption for the whole human race,

including Mary...” (Dr. Ludwig Ott) We Catholics believe that every human being after the fall,

including Mary was subject to being brought into this world

with original sin and needs to be saved, however Mary was saved from all sin including original from the first moment of

her conception. Analogy - Suppose one is skydiving and parachutes towards quicksand. Then a sudden gust of wind

comes along and blows us away from the quicksand. We

could say that at the moment of our conception we fell into the quicksand called Original Sin. But in Mary’s case, God

protected her from this at the moment of her conception by the merits of Jesus. She had no merit or power of her own that

kept her from falling into the quicksand of Original Sin.

It was Divine Mercy that was preparing a place for the Incarnation. God was preparing the Ark of the Covenant, the

Tabernacle to carry the Word of God. St. Theresa of Avila

said; “I could have fallen like Mary Magdalene, but your forgiveness of me was greater than hers because you prevented

me from falling.” Mary was redeemed from the moment of her conception so that she never fell into sin. Mary was

redeemed by God, but in a preventative way.

“To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to

present you unblemished and exultant in his glory, to the only

God, our savior through Jesus Christ our Lord be glory,

majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for

ages to come. Amen.” (The Letter of Jude 24-25)

“Many Saints appeared before you (Mary) but none was

full of grace as you…no has been purified in advance as you

have been…you surpass all that is excellent in man.”

(St. Sophronius of Jerusalem-4th century) (prod. na stor. 4)


Act of Personal Consecration to the Mother of God

Mother of God, Immaculate Mary, to you I consecrate

my body and soul, all my prayers, works, joys and

sufferings, all that I am and possess. With eager heart, I

dedicate myself to you in a service of love. I give you

complete freedom in making use of me for the salvation of

souls and for the assistance of the Holy Church of which

you are the Mother. From now on, I wish to do everything

with you, through you, and for you. I know that by my own

strength I shall accomplish nothing. You, however, can do

everything that is the will of your Son, and you are always

victorious. Grant, then, Help of Christians, that my family,

my parish, and my country may truly be the kingdom of

your Son and your kingdom.

Amen.

твоя!" (Йо 19,26).

Той улюблений учень Христа, св. Йоан, представляв

тоді усе людство. Кожен з нас знає, як хороша мати

любить своїх дітей. Для неї її власне дитя — це

найгарніша, найкраща, найдорожча істота в цілому

світі.

Не думаймо про Неї, як про якусь нам далеку

царицю, Яка зайнята своїми власними справами й не

має часу для нас земних людей, що так низько стоять у

порівнянні з Нею.

Думаймо про Неї краще, як про нашу рідну маму,

про Маму, яка нас так любить, що не пожаліла б заради

нас віддати Свого єдиного Сина.

Думаймо про Богородицю також як про всемогутню

Матір, яка, хоч сама не може зробити, проте все може

випросити в Свого Божого — всемогутнього Сина. Він

найперше вибрав собі її за Свою матір.

Як дивно Господь Бог готував ту, що мала бути

Матір’ю нашого Спасителя. Вона — повна ласки,

свята, пречиста й непорочна стала достойним святим

кивотом, у якому замешкав сам Божий Син – Ісус

Христос.

Молитва за мир

Боже, Творцю і Отче всіх людей, Ти закликаєш до

себе всі народи світу. Просвіти їх, щоб серед суєти

нашого часу вони дізналися про те, що може принести

їм мир. Збуди в них щире прагнення до порозуміння і

єдності. Допоможи їм прощати одне одному те зло, яке

вони заподіювали і продовжують заподіювати своїм

ближнім, допоможи їм співпрацювати у справі миру,

поважаючи права кожної людини, у згоді з Твоєю

волею. Очисти їхні серця від усякої образи і ненависті.

Збережи всі народи від гордині, егоїзму і

міжнаціональної ворожнечі.

Хай усі народи усвідомлять свій обов’язок

піклуватися про мир і рішуче стануть на шлях єдності, з

любов’ю співпрацюючи один з одним.

Поблагослови, Боже, тих, хто присвячує себе

великій справі творення миру. Нехай буде завжди

благословенне Твоє святе Ім’я і нехай прийде в наші

душі і на наші землі Твоє Царство справедливості, миру

та згоди.

Амінь.
