Therefore, Basil, the priest and torchbearer of the Creator, the divine mystic of Christ, rejoices on high. Prokimen: My mouth shall utter wisdom, and my heart be a lesson in wisdom.

The Circumcision of Christ and St. Basil the Great
The great mystery of the Son of God becoming man
shines brightly on this Feast day. Like any Jewish male,
Jesus endured the ritual of circumcision, which was a mark
of becoming an heir to the promises to Abraham. However,
Jesus is not just an ordinary Hebrew child under the law.
He is the Eternal Word who spoke the world into existence.
Nonetheless, He humbles Himself to be circumcised in His
flesh as was His forefathers. Christ fulfilled the promises of
the Old Testament, extending them to all who believe in
Him, the Messiah. “…you have come to fullness of life in
Him, who is the head of all rule and authority. In Him you
were also circumcised with a circumcision made without
hands, by putting off the body of the flesh in the
circumcision of Christ…” (Colossians 3; 10-11)
True circumcision is not physical, but spiritual and
moral; of the heart and spirit, not tearing our garments, and
bodies, but our hearts. On our part, let us purify our hearts,
cutting away sin and corruption, and uniting ourselves to
Christ. The more we unite ourselves with Christ through
prayer, the Divine Liturgy and Sacraments, the more we
participate in Christ and become like Him. That is how we
should begin the New Year, and all the days of our lives.
Then our faith we be more than one of Sundays and Holy
Days of obligation, but a participation in the life of
Christ, who, became one of us in order that we might
become like Him in holiness.
St. Basil the Great (329-379) organized monasticism
into communities based on the Evangelical Counsels, and
having everything in common. He wrote 2 sets of rules;
55 Long Rules and 313 Short Rules based on Scripture.
These rules are the cornerstone of what we call today the
‘Basilian way of life’. With the acceptance of Byzantine
Christianity in Rus’-Ukraine in 1988, Basilian monasticism
took root, and became a part of Kyivan spirituality and
history of the nation. In 1617, the Order of St. Basil the
Great was formed to unite the independent monasteries
united to the Catholic Church (1596), and to strengthen
the Union among the faithful. The Basilian Order would
flourish and expand, serving the Byzantine Catholics
of Eastern Europe, and later in North and South America.
St. Basil’s holiness did not go unnoticed. In 370 he was
consecrated archbishop of Caesarea, taking upon himself
the task of preserving unity in the Church, refuting the
Arian heresy, and strengthening the Christian spirit in the
faithful. He wrote a treatise On the Holy Spirit, and the
Divine Liturgy celebrated 10 times a year in our Church on
the Eve of the Nativity, St. Basil, the Eve of the Theophany,
the 5 Sundays of Great Lent, Holy Thursday and Holy
Saturday is attributed to him. Externally, the Liturgy of
St. Basil does not differ from the Liturgy of St. John
Chrysostom. The prayers are longer and theologically
deep. St. Basil died on January 1, 379, and is a pillar of
fire and great Father of the Church.

We would like to thank all those who came and donated at the blood drive. We had 29 people (out of 33 who signed up) give blood. Some cancellations were due to illnesses. We would like to thank all those who advertized for us such as the churches, Warren Weekly and local businesses. We are greatful for all the parishioners from Our Lady of Grace and St. Josaphat Churches who dedicated their time to work the blood drive. Patients who receive the blood will be also very greatful.

Tuesday Evening Faith Formation Sessions!
Starting Jan. 15, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. — St. Josaphat Church Classroom
Bishop Robert Barron's newest study program The Mass
Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and you’ll be transformed through insights on
this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.
See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it
resonates with a call from God and a response from his people, the Church, and, most
importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of
Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.
The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the
source and summit of the Christian life.
