CONDOLENCES:

Sister Leocadia Sevachko, one of our dear Sisters of St. Basil, passed away this past week. Sister Leocadia entered The Sisters of St. Basil from our parish, St. Nicholas here in Youngstown. She was a teacher for over 57 years with her last position being at Byzantine Catholic Central in Youngstown. Sister Leocadia was a wonderful teacher and had a positive impact on all of her students and everyone she met. Our deepest sympathy and prayers to her sister, Sister Bernarda and family.  Blessed repose and eternal memory +Sister Leocadia.

SANCTUARY CANDLE:

The Sanctuary candles will be lit for the entire week for your intentions.

For the week of November 27-Dec 3, the left sanctuary is in memory of +Michael & +Helen Tirpak and the right sanctuary candle is in memory of +Michael R. Tirpak both from Robert & Helen Marie Vaclav.

JESUS OVERCOMES DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: The incarnation of the Word and his assumption of human nature took place for the overthrow of death, destruction and the envy harbored against us by the wicked Serpent, who was the first cause of evil. This plainly is proved to us by facts themselves. He set free the daughter of Abraham from her protracted sickness, calling out and saying, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” A speech most worthy of God, and full of supernatural power! With the royal inclination of his will, he drives away the disease. He also lays his hands upon her. It says that she immediately was made straight. It is now also possible to see that his holy flesh bore in it the power and activity of God. It was his own flesh, and not that of some other Son beside him, distinct and separate from him, as some most impiously imagine. COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 96.
