Господь не просто дал нам условное деление времени на годы, месяцы, недели и дни. Это в первую очередь возможность для сравнения качества прожитых временных отрезков. Накануне Нового года мы мысленно проживаем все то, что пережили за прошедший год, и делаем выводы, был ли год успешным или не очень, стали ли мы лучше, мудрее, чище, обрели ли мы новый опыт и новые знания. А ещё Новый год - это повод для того, чтобы задуматься над быстротой течения жизни. Особенно если ты прожил на Земле достаточно долго. С каждым годом время ускоряется, и ты должен ощущать, все ли запланированное ты успел воплотить. Новый год - это время понять, что ничего нельзя оставлять «на потом»: попросить прощения у тех, кому нанёс обиды, позвонить родным, сделать доброе дело… Новый год - это не время чудес, это время осознать, что чудеса нам являются ежедневно, просто их надо научиться видеть. Ведь восход и закат солнца, смена времен года, дуновение ветра - это все чудеса. Как и сама человеческая жизнь… Просто мы к ним слишком привыкли, и в погоне за яркой мишурой отказываем им в праве считаться чудом. Новый год - это не ожидание подарков, не елка, не салат «Оливье» и не праздничное шампанское. Это очищение души и благодарение Господа за саму возможность нашей жизни и ее продления во времени, ее насыщенности чудесами. День памяти святителя Николая Чудотворца 19 December 2021 Сегодня мы отмечаем один из самых любимых, добрых и светлых зимних праздников — день памяти святителя Николая, архиепископа Мир Ликийских, чудотворца. Наверное, нет такого человека, который бы не слышал об этом великом святом, ни разу не видел его икону, никогда не обращался к нему с молитвой в трудную минуту. Святителя Николая Чудотворца зовут «скорым помощником», потому что множество людей, особенно путешественников, веками убеждались в действенности его помощи в самых трудных ситуациях. И, наверное, больше всех за его щедрость и доброту святого Николая любят дети. Господь наделил святителя даром творить великие чудеса за его непоколебимую и глубокую веру. Presentation of the Virgin Mary at the Temple 04 December 2021 Today the Orthodox Church celebrates one of the main Christian holidays – the Presentation of the Most Holy Theotokos at the Temple. This event became an important milestone in the fulfilment of the Divine plan for the salvation of the humankind, heralding the imminent liberation of all people from the slavery of sin and eternal death. The elderly parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary – Saints Joachim and Anne – solved the vows given to God and dedicated their beloved only daughter to God. There, at the temple, there were the most favourable conditions for the raising, in holiness and purity, of the One who was destined to become the Mother of the Saviour and the Mother of all Christians. There was a moment in the life of every believer when they first consciously entered the temple of God. Some were led by a spiritual thirst that could not be quenched by anything except the Gospel truth, some were brought in by unbearable burden of suffering, from which only the Lord Himself could save, and some were led by gratitude for the rich mercies that the Creator generously bestowed... Congratulation on the Day of Liberation of Ukraine from Nazi invaders! 28 October 2021 Dear friends, I congratulate you on a truly warm and bright holiday – the day of the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis. It was on this autumn day in 1944 when the territory of our country was completely freed from the “brown plague”, when the last German soldier was driven out of Ukraine. The reunification of the Ukrainian lands became final. However, the liberation of Ukraine did not become the day from which a peaceful life could be counted. The Great Patriotic War continued, more soldiers died, and elimination of collaborator groups continued in the rear. Yet Ukraine was already free! On this day, we will all remember our forebearers – our grandfathers, fathers, and great-grandfathers – who defeated the enemy and defended our today’s right to life. Victory and everything that is associated with it enables us to remain humane in the current conditions, despite attempts to rewrite history and shift emphasis. I congratulate you on this day! I wish you peace, good health and new achievements. We all stand on the shoulders of the titans who defeated the enemies of humanity in a fierce battle. We all bow our heads to their memory! Congratulation on the Day of Liberation of Ukraine from Nazi invaders! Happy Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God 14 October 2021 Congratulations on the Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, dear brothers and sisters! From the very dawn of Christianity in Rus’ to this day, the Mother of God (Theotokos) has been revered as the Protectress of our holy land. Like for many generations of those who lived before us, the main meaning of today’s feast is very close and dear to us. It is the revelation that the Most Holy Mother of God cares about the salvation of all humankind, of each of us. Today’s great holiday testifies that even in the most difficult times, when it seems that darkness is overpowering, that all solid foundations are crumbling and the earth itself is shaking underfoot, when enemies overwhelm, when neighbours betray, when natural and social cataclysms befall, when diseases frighten – at such times people of God were strengthened and are strengthened now by the belief that at the most difficult moment help from above will certainly come. That the Most Holy Theotokos, abiding in the greatest glory of Her Divine Son, will give protection to all those who seek Christ, freeing them from many troubles and misfortunes. Day of Remembrance of the Holy Martyrs Faith, Hope, Love and Their Mother Sophia 30 September 2021 September 30 is the day of remembrance of the holy martyrs Vira, Nadiya, Liubov (Faith, Hope, Love) and their mother Sophia, who lived in Rome and suffered for Christ in the second century. “Sophia” is translated from Greek as “wisdom”. Saint Sophia sought to instil in her daughters such moral guidelines that would help them in any life situation. She even gave them their names in honour of the main Christian virtues. Faith is the foundation of our entire life. That is what fills it with content and meaning, sense. Hope gives us strength to go forward and improve. You cannot build a bright future without it. Love and its fruits are all the best and most beautiful things that surrounds us in this life. The acquisition of love is the pinnacle of spiritual perfection. We all have a lot to learn from the wise mother – Saint Sophia. A healthy and prosperous life both for a single family and for the whole society can only be built on a solid foundation of our centuries-old moral values. Congratulations on the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God! 21 September 2021 I wholeheartedly congratulate you, dear brothers and sisters, on the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos – the first of the Twelve Great Feasts in the new church year! Feasts in honour of the Most Holy Theotokos sparkle with special joy. In them, the joy that we are loved by God is combined with the joy that we ourselves can respond to His love with all sincerity. An ideal example and unattainable height of such divine-human relations is the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her love for the Creator was so holy, great, unconditional and selfless. Her soul was so reverent, pure and beautiful that only She could become the Mother of God. Today we are celebrating Her Birthday. She came to this world as a gift from God to righteous elderly parents – Saints Joachim and Anne – who had already despaired of ever having children. She was born as the crown of the spiritual labours of many generations: men and women, saints and sinners – all those who dedicated themselves to the centuries-old struggle for the happiness of being free from the bondage of sin and death. Congratulations on the Memory Day of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky! 12 September 2021 There are figures in history who left a memory that is indestructible by time. Prince Alexander Yaroslavich, who went down in history as Alexander Nevsky, became one of such personalities who appeared at a challenging time, in the bloody years of trials that fell to the lot of Rus’. One of the iconic figures in medieval history, the scale of which went beyond the borders of Rus’. Four times elected Prince of Novgorod, Grand Prince of Vladimir, for 14 years – Grand Prince of Kyiv, a commander who did not lose a single battle, a skilful diplomat who maintained relations with European monarchs and with Khan of the Golden Horde, a man who saved Rus’ from the final ruin caused by the Mongol-Tatars, and from enslavement by the crusaders, a sincerely religious person who proved his allegiance to the Church. And all this is during 42 years that the Lord gave him for earthly life! For his merits, Alexander was canonized in the 16 th century and our Church glorified him as a Saint. Today the Orthodox Church celebrates the memory of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. It is especially important that 2021 is the year of the 800 th anniversary of the Prince’s birthday. Happy Dormition Day! 28 August 2021 Dear friends, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I congratulate you on the great feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos! This is the day our people love especially. From time immemorial, our main temples and monasteries were consecrated precisely in honour of this magnificent event. All three of our Lavras are the Dormition Lavras, the oldest of which is Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The mistress of this place is the God’s Mother. According to the legend, She herself asked for it from Her Son and God for Her own inheritance. The Mother of God is our common Heavenly patroness. Our model, our joy, protection and consolation. We, ordinary sinful people, so much want to live according to understandable rules, according to verified algorithms and plans, when everything seems extremely clear, when it is not dangerous, and not scary. However, if one person or all of humanity is faced with an action of the plan of God Himself, our “sophisticated” constructions immediately begin to look like funny children’s crib notes, like drawings in the sand, which are easily erased by the wave of the surf. Confused by such a change, some people loose balance and fall, and others find an opportunity revealed in the new reality, revealed to them or to the whole people, or even to all humankind. An opportunity to go forward, grow and develop in accordance with God’s Providence. Seventh Anniversary of the Enthronement of His Beatitude Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Onufriy 17 August 2021 Today, the entire Ukrainian Orthodox Church is prayerfully celebrating the seventh anniversary of the enthronement of His Beatitude Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Onufriy. On this day, I want to extend my most cordial congratulations to our dear Primate, the Archpastor, our Grace and Father! This is how His Beatitude is called by millions of faithful children of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. These words are backed by life experiences of people. Our Primate is always at the head, always in sight. He is the spiritual leader of his people who humbly accepted full responsibility for them before God and who stands, like a firm rock, in the midst of the ocean of this world raging with passions. As the Archpastor, he confidently and fearlessly leads his flock to salvation, keeping them faithful to Christ’s teachings and church canons. Thanks to his archpastoral prayers, his firmness and persistent standing for the Truth, our holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church has never strayed from the patristic heritage despite all desperate attempts to seduce it from the true path. Happy Christianization of Rus Day! 28 July 2021 I sincerely congratulate all of you, dear friends, on the Day of Remembrance of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Volodymyr, on the Day of the Baptism of Rus! Traditionally, this bright celebration attended by many people begins the day before, with a thanksgiving prayer service at the foot of the monument to the Holy Baptizer of our people on Volodymyrska Hill, over the waters of the Dnieper River – our common baptismal font. The pinnacle event in the framework of the Feast is the Great All-Ukrainian Religious Procession (the Procession of the Cross) to the spiritual heart of our Motherland – the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra to participate in the festive conciliar divine service. It is always a great joy of common prayer, in which the faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from all parts of our country take part. According to preliminary estimates, more than 350,000 people took part in the Procession of the Cross this year. By the tablets carried by the believers one could trace the entire geography of Ukraine, could see the true face of our people – beautiful, spiritualized, and kind. Happy Metallurgists’ and Miners’ Day! 17 July 2021 Dear friends! Metallurgists’ Day in Ukraine is not just a professional holiday for those involved in ore mining or metal melting. For a country in the economy of which metallurgy or steel-making occupies an important place, Metallurgists’ Day has become a truly favourite holiday. Indeed, thanks to metallurgists’ hard work, the country is developing, as well as its army and finances, and its cities are growing. We can talk a lot about the role of metallurgists’ labour – naturally, there will be many greeting speeches on this topic today. But it is so important that we all understand and feel: behind every ton of steel and cast iron there are real people, with their joys and problems, and with their life stories. People who professionally do their job and deserve attention, care and maximum respect from society. Negotiations on Purchase of NASH TV Channel Halted – Statement 09 July 2021 Vadym Novynskyi, People’s Deputy of Ukraine, makes an official statement that the negotiations regarding the purchase of Nash TV channel, which were held by representatives of Smart Holding group, have been halted, and Smart Holding is withdrawing from the negotiation process. ‘Indeed, we held negotiations and openly stated this, without making the process a secret. However, we did not reach an understanding with Yevgeniy Murayev. As I promised, we are publicly announcing the termination of the negotiations,’ said Vadym Novynskyi. He also stressed that he does not plan to negotiate the purchase of any other media outlet. 22 June. Eighty Years Since the Beginning of the Great Patriotic War 22 June 2021 Eight decades – as long as a human life – are not able to heal the wounds of the greatest tragedy in the history of our people. During this time, the world managed to change far more than once, some states and rulers emerged and disappeared, several generations of people changed, but the date of 22 June still remains a reason for thought and reflexion. As Robert Rozhdestvensky wrote, ‘I remember everything that was not with me.’ It would seem that everyone should have learned their lessons from history. Germany repented and the descendants of the victims of World War II forgave it. However, there is still some restless feeling deep inside. Incessant calls for a revision of history, constant attempts to rehabilitate Nazi evil-doers, some special bravado – stripes or patches on the sleeves and swastika tattoos. And this is happening here, in Ukraine, where every fifth inhabitant died during the war... 22 June is not only the Day of Remembrance of those killed in the war (and I sincerely believe that the Day of Sorrow should be on 22 June, and not on those bright days when all normal people celebrate Victory Day). It is also the Day of Humaneness, the Day of special spirituality – after all, it was not by accident that on 22 June 1941, in the second week after Pentecost, the memory of all the saints who shone in the Russian land was celebrated. The Soviet leadership referred to their feats when admonishing the soldiers to the Patriotic War for the sake of defending the Motherland. Congratulations on the Holy Trinity! 20 June 2021 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we congratulate you on the feast of the Holy Trinity! Congratulations on the Day of Happy Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles! The Day of Pentecost, so lightly and solemnly celebrated by us now, is a sacred event in the life of the Church of Christ. The sending of the Holy Life-giving Spirit to the earth, onto the apostles, served as the beginning of the Church of Christ on earth. Today is the birthday of our Holy Church, and she is our spiritual mother. Since that great event our United Collegiate Apostolic Church, the keeper of Divine Revelation, immutably preserving the canons in Itself, has been carrying the true understanding of the Image of God and the Grace of the Holy Spirit. By the power and assistance of the Holy Spirit, the Church of Christ is the place where miracles of rebirth and salvation of human souls are performed. And thus, the Church of Christ leads us along the eternal path of salvation. And only with our Mother Church we can find unity with God, gain the immortality of our souls, can overcome all adversity and withstand all the troubles and misfortunes of our days. Happy Myrrh-Bearing Women Day! 16 May 2021 In the divine service of the third Sunday after Easter, the Holy Church encourages us to move mentally from Golgotha to the tomb of Christ and His glorious Resurrection, the news of which the myrrh-bearing wives were honoured to learn the first. Their example shows how much warmth, compassion and love the Lord put into a woman's soul. Thanks to this, women are capable of doing great deeds of love and self-sacrifice, if they live in Christ and with Christ, as the apostle commands, "with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit" (1 Pet. 3: 4). And let us also remember that people call a family a small Church not in vain. And that mercy, forgiveness and mutual spiritual enrichment, as well as all possible manifestations of true love, should reign in a family. And by God's providence, the honourable role of arranging all this is entrusted to gentle women's shoulders, in many ways. An assistant, a faithful companion, a keeper of the hearth, a tender mother, a loving wife, and a caring daughter – all these wonderful qualities were bestowed on a woman since her appearance in the works of God. Victory Day 09 May 2021 Today is the Victory Day! The day of our people's victory in the Great Patriotic War. Not in the Second World War. The Second World War ended on 2 September 1945. Not in the Soviet-German War. The Red Army had to fight not only with German troops, but also with a number of armies and combat units of other countries allied with Nazi Germany. Patriotic war is called a war that uses all available resources, the entire human potential of the country to repel the enemy's aggression. A war in which not only the regular army takes part, but the entire civilian population is involved in the fight for a common victory. This is a war in which the very fate of the Fatherland and its future are at stake. Ukraine, which lost 6.8 million people, has the right to consider this war as the Patriotic War. After all, people gave their lives not for Stalin, not for communism – they were going into battle defending their wives, their elderly, their children and their homes. They were going for their Fatherland, for everything they had, everything that was dear and sacred to them. Vadym Novynskyi Took Part in the Prayer at the Eternal Flame in Memory of the Fallen Soldiers 09 May 2021 On 9 May 2021, on the Day of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, People's Deputy of Ukraine Vadym Novynskyi took part in the prayer service of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) at the Eternal Flame, the monument to the Unknown Soldier, in the Park of Eternal Glory in Kyiv. During the prayer service, believers and clergymen of the UOC honoured the memory of Soviet soldiers who gave their lives for the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The prayer service was performed by the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy together with the clergy of the UOC. Other participants of the memorial event were members of veteran organizations, as well as residents of Kyiv. When greeting the participants of the holiday of the Great Victory, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy said: ‘Today we bow our heads to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield so that we could live, so that we would not be slaves and people of the fourth or fifth grade, but could enjoy the beauty of life that God gave us. May the Lord send health, comfort and give all that is necessary for earthly life to those few of our soldiers who survived. Happy Victory Day!
