VOL. 55 / NO. 14 • SUNDAY OF ST. THOMAS • APRIL 08, 2018
Томина неділя
В Євангелії говориться, що Апостол
Тома, на прізвисько Близнюк, не був
присутній між учнями, коли їм з’явився
Воскреслий Христос.
І коли потім почув, що сталося, поки
його не було, він заявив, що поки не
побачить на руках Ісуса знаків від цвяхів
і не вкладе свого пальця у місця, де були
цвяхи і в проколотий бік, то не повірить.
Деякі християнські мислителі вважають, що
насправді Тома не сумнівався, а шукав доказів і
підтверджень всього того, що йому переповідали. Його
не задовольняло просто вірити на основі того, що інші
йому розповідали. Він бажав сам побачити Воскреслого
Ісуса і доторкнутися до Нього.
Євангелист Іван, який записав в Євангелії цю
історію, запрошує нас сьогодні вступити у школу
Апостола Томи і навчитися від нього віри у
Воскресіння.
Сьогодні Євангеліє запрошує нас на цей сміливий
шлях Апостола Томи. Він поставив вимогу для своєї
віри. Він заявив, що поки не досвідчить сам
Воскреслого Христа, то не повірить у Його
Воскресіння. Апостол Тома хоче вірити в того Ісуса,
якого він бачив розп’ятим і похованим, тому й забажав,
якщо Він насправді воскрес, вкласти свої пальці в
місця, де були Його рани. І нас Тома запрошує до віри саме в такого Ісуса, який був розп’ятим і мертвим, а зараз
I Believe, Therefore I Am
We are living in a crisis of faith. Young
millennials prefer to be atheists; some
Christian denominations are disintegrating
while others are accommodating themselves
to the culture. Others want proof or nothing
at all and prefer to trust in science the
limited human intellect. In today's Gospel,
Thomas did not see the risen Christ and did
not believe. But the pattern goes back to
Adam and Eve who were told that they would surely die if
they eat from the tree of knowledge. They wanted proof
which resulted in sin, death and corruption which passed
on to the human race. It took 9 plagues and the death of his
first-born to convince pharaoh that Moses was sent from
God. Even Moses and those with him doubted God and
never entered the Promised Land.
God never wants us to believe without proof, or obey
without explanation. That's why He performs mighty works
through his holy ones, servants and prophets who are
weak men in order to prove His might. Yet, the apostles,
the people closest to Christ did not perceive Him. Peter did
not believe the words of the myrrh-bearing women and
ran to the empty tomb to see for himself. The disciples at
Emmaus did not recognize the risen Christ until the
breaking of the bread.
We experience with our senses and put our faith in them.
If we have no faith and refuse to believe except in the
material world, then it is difficult to trust in God with
closed eyes. As long as we believe that man is (cont. on pg. 3) (prod. na stor. 3)

Thank You
Thank you to Anne Nordstrom, her staff and to everyone who helped prepare and make varenyky, prepare the fish and to all who brought baked goods for our dessert table at our Lenten Fish Fry's. Thank you to all those who worked the Fish Fry's, before, during and clean-up afterwards. Thank you to all who cut and prepared the pussy willows for Palm Sunday and those who helped prepare the church (flowers, Altar and the Holy Shroud) for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. A special Thank You to the ladies who made the beautiful and delicious paskas for Easter. Thank you to the Ushers, Altar boys who helped with the services during Easter.
Thank You again
and may the Dear Lord reward you hundredfold.

– воскреслим. Це віра в такого Бога, який розуміє наші особисті страждання і здатний нам співчувати. Це віра в такого Бога, який супроводжує нас на дорозі до Воскресіння, серед наших хресних доріг. Це віра в такого Бога, який здатний вкласти також свої пальці в місця, де були наші рани і показати нам, що ми, завдяки Його Кожен з нас повинен прагнути сам особисто зустрінутися з Ісусом і доторкнутися до Нього. Саме така зустріч породжує глибоке визнання, яке виразилося у словах Апостола Томи: Господь мій і Бог мій! Коли Апостол Тома доторкнувся до Ісуса, то почув Його відповідь, яка є дуже знаною серед християн: Побачив мене, то й віруєш. Щасливі ті, які, не убачивши, увірували! Дехто вважає, що ці слова Ісуса сказані про нас, що не можемо побачити його Воскреслого у тілі і доторкнутися до нього, як Тома. На кожній Святій Літургії, ми маємо змогу доторкнутися до Нього як Апостол Тома і навіть прийняти Його. Господь мій і Бог мій!

the center of everything, we won't see God and the works
of His hand in the world. We become insensitive to Him
and His great love and ignore Him as if He never existed.
We want Him out of our schools, our daily lives; we don't
pray anymore and prefer other things such as entertainment
to church. We pursue petty things instead of first seeking
the Kingdom of God.
The Lord respects our freedom and is not offended by
our mistrust. He calls us like Thomas to; "Put your finger
here, and see my hands, and put out your hand and
place it in my side. Do not be unbelieving, but
believing." It is not a blind faith, but a belief that goes
from the mind to the heart and the cloud of witnesses that
shout into the world the Good News of our redemption in
Jesus Christ. We see what the world has become and that
it is easier to trust God than man. Man has failed us, God
does not fail us. God has always acted in our best interest,
even to sacrificing Himself for us.
Jesus said to Thomas; "Have you believed because you
have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen yet
believe." Believe because we have seen the Lord through
the eyes of the Myrrh Bearing women. Believe because we
have entered the empty tomb with Peter. Believe because
we have touched his wounds with Thomas' hand. Believe
because we built our churches on graves of the Martyrs that
died proclaiming the Resurrection. Believe because we
have the Scriptures and His words give life. Believe for the
Resurrection is the only thing that matters. Rejoice in the
truth of the Resurrection as the greatest mystery in the
history of mankind and don't try to explain with limited
secular human knowledge. Believe that Christ is risen!
Indeed He is risen!
