Pentecost Sunday
(After ‘Blessed be the Kingdom...’ all kneel and say the following:)
УКРАЇНСКІ:
Царю небесний, утішителю, Душе істини,* що всюди єси і все
наповняєш,* скарбе дібр і життя подателю,* прийди і вселися в нас,* і
очисти нас від усякої скверни, і спаси благий, душі наші.
ЕNGLISH:
Heavenly King, Advocate, Spirit of Truth,* Who are everywhere present and fill
all things,* Treasury of Blessings, Bestower of Life,* come and dwell within
us;* cleanse us of all that defiles us,* and O Good One, save our souls.
First Antiphon: The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament
proclaims his handiwork.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.
Day pours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.
Through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their
message.
Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.
Glory be . . . now and forever . . . : Only Begotten Son . . . .
*Post-festive 3rd Antiphon response: O good Advocate, save us who sing to you.
Alleluia!
Third Antiphon: O Lord, in your strength the king is glad; in your victory how
greatly he rejoices.
Tropar, tone 8: Blessed are You, O Christ our God.* You filled the fishermen
with wisdom,* sending down upon them the Holy Spirit.* Through them You
have caught the whole world in your net.* O Lover of Mankind, glory be to
You!
- 6 -
You have granted him his heart‟s desire; you refused not the wish of his lips.
Blessed are you, O Christ our God. . . .
For you welcomed him with godly blessings. you placed on his head a crown of
pure gold.
Blessed are you, O Christ our God. . . .
At the Little Entrance: Be extolled, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing,
chant the praise of your might.
Blessed are you, O Christ our God. . .
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, Now and for ever
and ever. Amen!
Kondak, tone 8: When the Most High descended and confused tongues,* He
scattered the people;* but when He distributed the tongues of fire,* He called all
to unity.* Therefore, with one voice, let us praise the most Holy Spirit.
*Post-feast Third Antiphon: Regular 3rd Antiphon but with the following
response:
O good Advocate, save us who sing to You: Alleluia!
УКРАЇНСКІ:
Замість „Святий Боже‟: Ви, що в Христа хрестилися, у Христа
зодягнулися. Алилуя.
ЕNGLISH:
Instead of „Holy God....‟: All you, who have been baptized into Christ, have put
on Christ. Alleluia!
Prokimen, tone 4: Through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of
the world, their message.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his
handiwork.
Epistle: A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (2: 1 - 11)
When the day of Pentecost came it found them gathered in one place. Suddenly
from up in the sky there came a noise like a strong, driving wind which was
heard all through the house where they were seated. Tongues as of fire appeared
which parted and came to rest on each of them. All were filled with the Holy
Spirit. They began to express themselves in foreign tongues and make bold
proclamation as the Spirit prompted them. Staying in Jerusalem at the time were
- 7 -
devout Jews of every nation under heave. These heard the sound, and assembled
in a large crowd. They were much confused because each one heard these men
speaking his own language. The whole occurrence astonished them. They asked
in utter amazement, “Are not all of these men who are speaking Galileans? How
is it that each of us hears them in his native tongue? We are Parthians, Medes,
and Elamites. We live in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus, the
province of Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions of Libya
around Cyrene. There are even visitors from Rome - all Jews, or those who have
come over to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs too. Yet each of us hears them
speaking in his own tongue about the marvels God as accomplished.”
Alleluia verse: By the word of the Lord the heavens were made; by the breath
of his mouth all their host.
From heaven the Lord looks down; he sees all mankind.
Gospel: John 7: 37 - 52, 8: 12
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out: “If
anyone thirsts, let him come to me; let him drink who believes in me. Scripture
has it: „From within him rivers of living water shall flow.‟ “(Here he was
referring to the Spirit, whom those that came to believe in him were to receive.
There was, of course, no Spirit as yet, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
Some in the crowd who heard these words began to say, “This must be the
Prophet.” Others were claiming, “He is the Messiah.” But an objection was
raised: “Surely the Messiah is not to come from Galilee? Does not Scripture say
that the Messiah, being of David‟s family, is to come from Bethlehem, the
village where David lived?” In this fashion the crowd was sharply divided over
him. Some of them even wanted to apprehend him. However, no one laid hands
on him. When the temple guards came back, the chief priests and Pharisees
asked them, “Why did you not bring him in?” “No man ever spoke like that
before,” the guards replied. “Do not tell us you too have been taken in!” the
Pharisees retorted. “You do not see any of the Sanhedrin believing him, do you?
Or the Pharisees? Only this lot, that knows nothing about the law-- and they are
lost anyway!” One of their own number, Nicodemus (the man who had come to
him), spoke up to say, “Since when does our law condemn any man without first
hearing him and knowing the facts?” Do not tell us you are a Galilean too,” they
taunted him. “Look it up. You will not find the Prophet coming from Galilee.”
Jesus spoke to them once again: “I am the light of the world. No follower of
mine shall ever walk in darkness; no, he shall possess the light of life.”
УКРАЇНСКІ:

Замість „Достойно‟: Величай, душе моя, в Трьох особах суще єдине
божество.
Радуйся, царице, матеродівственна славо, всякі бо легкомовні
благоговірливі уста промовити не можуть, щоб тебе оспівувати достойно,
і безсильний ум усякий, щоб твоє рождество розуміти. Тому тебе
одпоголосно славимо.
ENGLISH:
Instead of „It is truly right...‟: O my soul, extol the One God in three persons.
Rejoice, O Queen and glorious Virgin Mother! What orator, rich in eloquence,
could find the proper words to fashion a hymn of praise worthy of you? For
every spirit shudders before the mystery of your holy birthgiving; and we also
unite our voices to glorify you.
Communion Hymn: May your good spirit guide me on level ground. Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! __________________________________________________________________ 2013 PENTECOST MESSAGE FOR CANADIAN CATHOLIC NATIONAL
MOVEMENTS AND ASSOCIATIONS
And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it
filled the entire house . . . . All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2.2,4).
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In his address to the ecclesial movements and new communities at Pentecost 1998,
Blessed Pope John Paul expressed his conviction that such groups are the fruit of a new
Pentecost:
You, present here, are the tangible proof of the outpouring of the Spirit. Each movement
is different from the others, but they are all united in the same communion and for the
same mission. Some charisms given by the Spirit burst in like an impetuous wind, which
seizes people and carries them to new ways of missionary commitment to the radical
service of the Gospel, by ceaselessly proclaiming the truths of the faith, accepting the
living stream of the truth as a gift instilling in each person an ardent desire for holiness.
These words are most fitting as we extend to you our heartfelt appreciation for your
ongoing participation in the mission of the Church, a true share in the life of Christ.
In the course of this Year of Faith, we have received an abundant outpouring of the
Spirit‟s gift in the election of the first successor of Peter from the Americas. On the day
after his election, Pope Francis delivered his first homily to the College of Cardinals,
focusing on three essential dimensions of discipleship: walking, building, and
- 9 -
witnessing. He stressed that whatever our call and station in life, if we are not first
disciples of Jesus Christ who live the mystery of his cross, then we have missed the
point. This, and no other, is the path to the holiness of life which is our gift and task
through baptism.
Throughout the life of the Church, movements and associations of the faithful have
responded to the Spirit‟s gift to live the Gospel in meeting the diverse needs of the
Church and of the world. It is our sincere hope and our deep prayer this Pentecost that by
the Spirit‟s gift, the members of your associations and movements might share in the
grace of walking by faith, building in hope, and witnessing to love.

Dear Faithful,
RE: Bridge of Hope – Project “Home of Hope”
I am pleased to share with you a new project that the Eparchy of Edmonton has
embarked on. Within our very successful not-for-profit organization Bridge of Hope - a
which for many years provides sponsorship services, ministry and support to
underprivileged children in Ukraine, we have taken on a new challenge. The new
challenge continues our tradition not only by meeting the physical, emotional and
spiritual needs but also in protecting one of the most targeted areas in child abuse.
Home of Hope Project
- 11 -
Project “Home of Hope” is a brave new challenge to build a sanctuary and support
teenage girls who no longer qualify for Ukrainian Government protection services. This
home is more than a simple place for these girls to sleep. It will be a place of friendship,
education, faith and hope for them so that they could achieve their God-given potential.
Bridge of Hope Chairperson, Pani Luba Kowalchyk, who has worked tirelessly
with many volunteers to continue God‟s work has informed me that “Home of Hope” is
nearing completion of the building stage.
The total estimated cost of the building is $600,000. With donation drives raising
nearly 40% to date, the new building is on track to be completed this fall!
Please join me in supporting this brave and very valuable “Home of Hope” for
girls. Your support in the form of prayers and financial gifts to make this hope a reality
is greatly appreciated.
Please visit www.ourbridgeofhope.org for more information or call our Eparchial
offices at (780) 424-5496 to make a make a donation.
In gratitude for your collaboration in the mission of the Church, I pray that the
Lord bless each of you with growth in life, in faith, and in spiritual understanding.
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Rev. David Motiuk
Eparchial Bishop

URGE CONGRESS TO PROTECT CONSCIENCE RIGHTS WITH HR 940
On August 1, people of faith, family-owned businesses, and charitable institutions will be
forced to pay for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-causing drugs in violation of
their deeply held religious beliefs and moral convictions. This development comes as a
result of a Department of Health and Human Services mandate that requires all of these
objectionable interventions be included in every health insurance plan, with very few
narrow exceptions.
People of faith must send a clear message to Congress that they support religious freedom
and rights of conscience. Representative Diane Black of Tennessee has introduced the
“Health Care Conscience Rights Act,” (H.R. 940), which protects individuals and
organizations from being forced to violate their religious beliefs or moral convictions.
Please act today to contact your elected representatives.
Time is running short for Congress to protect the conscience rights of all Americans. Our
representatives will respond if they hear from us that religious freedom is a right.
Encourage your fellow parishioners, friends and family to contact Congress. As Knights
we should do everything possible to ensure that Americans do not lose their cherished
right to religious freedom.
