"CYM Melbourne is screening the award winning documentary Winter on Fire today after 9.30 am liturgy upstairs in the church hall. Donations will be allocated to Ukrainian fighters. It is an extremely moving documentary that documents three months on Maidan. About Winter on Fire: For three months in the frigid winter of 2013-2014, almost a million citizens of Ukraine took to the streets in an attempt to bring down a repressive govern-ment. That 93-day protest, which drew armed retaliation from the govern-ment supporting President Viktor Yanukovych, is the subject of “Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom,” a new Netflix documentary from direc-tor Evgeny Afineevsky. A street-level chronicle of a fight that began when Yanukovych rejected a plan for Ukraine to join the European Union in favor of a backroom deal with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. “For me, ‘Winter on Fire’ is a cinematic monument to heroes, dedicated to the entire Ukranian nation and the true story of the Maidan Revolution of Dignity,” Afineevsky said in a director’s statement. In the trailer, protesters and activists recall a brutal period that reshaped their country, and one whose echoes (both good and bad) still linger in Ukraine.

Praying the Gospel Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina is a Latin expression that

means “divine or sacred reading.” It consists of reading a passage from scripture, reflection and prayer. The process of reading and reflecting is a prayer. The scripture passages in this case are chosen from the Byzantine Gospel Lectionary

as used in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Re-flections will be chosen from various sources and identified as used.

Praying Lectio Today

Relax your body and sit straight, eyes

shut and feet on the floor. Then practice the fol-lowing four simple steps:

Read the assigned scripture passage and then read the brief reflection assigned to the passage you have read. Lectio.

Pray the passage by looking for a specific meaning that comes to mind as you read it again. Meditatio. Pick a word or sentence or idea that sur-

faces from the text. Perhaps the reading reminds you of a person, place or experience. If so pray about it. Compose your thoughts into a simple word or phrase. Oratio.

In silence, with eyes closed, focus on your breathing. Let your thoughts and feelings fade as you consider the images from the previ-ous step. Contemplatio.

This exercise may take 10 to 20 minutes.

The Twenty-second Week after Pentecost

Again this week we continue to pray with selections taken from the gospel of St Luke. The weekday readings (Monday to Friday) come from chapters 9 & 10 of the gospel. Discipleship is prominent in this set of readings. On Saturday the healing of the centurion’s servant turns our attention to outsid-ers. While on Sunday the parable of the rich man and Lazarus reminds us of the consequences of failure in conversion. All these gospel passages are ex-tracts from the Byzantine Gospel Lectionary as used in the Ukrainian Cath-olic Church. I have selected the regular daily readings for the purpose of prayer and reflection. Reflections have again been chosen from Fr Brendan Byrne’s commentary.

Monday 26th

October (Luke 9:18-22)

Reflection

Speaking on behalf of all, Peter gets it right: “You are the Christ.” Jesus is more than a prophet: he is the long-awaited Son of David, destined to usher in the Messianic age. As readers of the Gospel, we have known this truth from the start. But the disciples have had to deduce it from what they have seen Jesus say and do. Even now they are to keep this knowledge to them-selves. They are to do so because the truth that Jesus is the Messiah can never stand alone. It must immediately be qualified by awareness of the kind of Messiah he is destined to be: not the Messiah of conventional ex-pectation but a Messiah destined to suffer and die and so (through suffering and death) enter his messianic glory.

Tuesday 27th

October (Luke 9:23-27)

Reflection Jesus makes it clear that suffering will also be the lot of his disciples as well. They must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow in his steps. The qualifier “daily” is peculiar to Luke—an instance once again of his sense of Christianity as a spirituality for the long haul. In the ancient world the cross was nothing but an instrument of death. What is at stake is a daily dying to self, a loss of the “life” created by the self’s superficial de-sires, in order to gain the life that fulfils the self’s deepest longing—to love and be loved, to give and receive in a communion of love, both human and divine.

Wednesday 28th

October (Luke 9:44-50)

Reflection The gap between what Jesus has tried to impart and the disciples’ under-standing is clear when they argue about which one of them is the greatest. He disarms their pretensions by taking a little child and speaking of what we might call a “chain of welcome,” running from the child, to himself, to his Father (“the one who sent me”). In Jesus’ perspective, the route to the welcoming of God into one’s life and community runs through the little ones represented by this child. It is they who access and channel the hospi-tality of God.

Thursday 29th

October (Luke 9:49-56)

Reflection A Samaritan village proves inhospitable to messengers sent ahead by Jesus. James and John propose a drastic response: why not, like the prophet Elijah, call down upon the village destructive fire from heaven? But Jesus will have none of it? This is not his way to deal with inhospitality. Nor, happily, is it the last word on Samaria and Samaritans in the Gospel; they will have a better day.

Friday 30th

October (Luke 10:1-15)

Reflection The tone is grim. But the narrative prepares Christian missionaries for the rejection that will inevitable be their lot as emissaries of the kingdom. It is all part of Luke’s wider theme of seeking to incorporate the rejection of Je-sus in Jerusalem and the subsequent rejection of the Christian gospel by most of Israel within the wider saving plan of God. Rejection of missionar-ies is also rejection of Jesus and ultimately rejection of the One who sent him into the world to offer the hospitality of God. Rejection is painful, but

God’s grace can overcome it and ultimately win through.

Saturday 31th

October (Luke 7:1-10)

Reflection The story about how Elisha the prophet cured Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Syria, from leprosy (2 Kings 5:1-14) provides a model for Luke’s description of Jesus’ cure of a Roman centurion’s slave. The person who seeks Jesus’ help is a foreigner whose case is argued by a Jewish delegation. The episode invites Gentile hearers of the Gospel to identify with the centurion and his commendable faith. Faith enables them to access the hospitality of God reaching out to them and their households.

Sunday 1st November

22nd

Sunday after Pentecost (Luke 16:19-31)

Reflection In its full form the parable illustrates two of Luke’s major themes: first, the coming reversal of all things—in particular, the fortunes of the rich and the poor; second, resistance to conversion. Ultimately, then, the parable is about failure in conversion, which explains why it had a sequel prolonging the di-alogue between the rich man and Abraham. The story does not simply have Jewish leaders in view but also the wealthy in the Christian community with whose attitude Luke is so preoccupied.

On Wednesday night (October 21) the 26th Annual Gathering of The Greater Dan-denong Interfaith Network took place at The Drum Theatre, Dandenong. The dig-nitaries who attended from the civil and religious lists were impressive. I was es-pecially impressed that our Ukrainian Catholic community was extremely well represented (noted by other faith members) by our priests, deacons and wives and our Noble Park parishioners. We were one of the last group to leave after sup-per - we just wanted to continue! This was a great night which cemented our mul-ticultural and faith-filled heritage - thanks to all!
