ТАЇНСТВО СВЯТОГО ШЛЮБУ: Раба Божа Діана Гонтар та раб Божий Андрій Голод поєдналися у Таїнстві Святого Шлюбу вчора у суботу, 11 листопада 2023 року. Нехай Бог дарує Діані та Андрію багато щасливих і благословенних років життя в любові, щасті та злагоді! Многії і благії літа молодому подружжю!
SAINT of the DAY: Venerable Nilus, the Myrrhgusher of Mount Athos is commemorated today. He was born in Greece, in the Zakoneia diocese. His uncle, the hieromonk Macarius, raised him. Having attained the age of maturity, he received monastic tonsure and was found worthy of ordination to hierodeacon and then to hieromonk. The desire for greater monastic struggles brought uncle and nephew to Mt Athos, where Macarius and Nilus lived in asceticism at the Holy Rocks. Upon the repose of Saint Macarius, the venerable Nilus, aflame with zeal for even more intense spiritual efforts, found an isolated place almost inaccessible to any living thing. Upon his departure to the Lord in 1651, Saint Nilus was glorified by an abundant flow of healing myrrh, for which Christians journeyed from the most distant lands of the East. Saint Nilus has left a remarkably accurate prophecy concerning the state of the Church in the mid-twentieth century and a description of the people of that time. Among the inventions, he predicted are the telephone, airplane, and submarine. He also warned that people’s minds would be clouded by carnal passions, “and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger.” Men would not be distinguishable from women because of their “shamelessness of dress and style of hair.” Saint Nilus lamented that Christian pastors, bishops and priests would become vain men and that the morals and traditions of the Church would change. Few pious and God-fearing pastors would remain, and many people would stray from the right path because no one would instruct them.
HOLODOMOR: November is Holodomor remembrance month. Those unfamiliar with the Holodomor in Ukraine should know that between 1932 and 1934, at least 7 million (possibly as high as 10 million) Ukrainians were starved to death in a genocide conducted by the communists/socialists. In June of 1933, an average of 30,000 people PER DAY died. Please pray for the souls of these innocent victims.
ГОЛОДОМОР: Листопад є місяцем пам’яті жертв Голодомору. Між 1932 і 1934 роками щонайменше 7 мільйонів (можливо, навіть 10 мільйонів) українців загинули від голоду, що було геноцидом, який вчинила більшовицька, сталінська влада. У червні 1933 року помирало в середньому 30 000 людей на день. Будь-ласка, моліться за душі цих невинних жертв.
