Святого священомученика Йосафата

" С в і т и л ь н и к о м с в і т л и м т и з а с і я в ,

священномучениче Йосафате, бо як пастир добрий

віддав життя своє за вівці" (Тропар празника).

Празник святого священномученика Йосафата для

вірних Української Католицької Церкви особливо

дорогий, світлий і радісний, бо це празник нашого

українського святого, празник нашого брата по крові й

кості, празник великого апостола й мученика за святу

віру й єдність Церков.

Святий Йосафат — це перший український святий,

якого канонізувала Католицька Церква, йому і його

мученицькій крові ми завдячуємо, що сьогодні

визнаємо правдиву Христову віру та що ми члени

правдивої Христової Церкви.

Справжня святість має гарну прикмету — вона не

замикається в собі, не втікає від людей, але хоче й

інших робити добрими і святими, хоче й інших

приводити до Христа та бути апостолом Христової

правди. Він горить тільки одним бажанням: нести світло

святої віри в кожну душу і якнайбільше душ привести

до Христа. Дуже успішні засоби в його апостольській

праці — це молитва, живе слово і приклад власного

життя.

Святий Йосафат апостолує не тільки молитвою і

живим та писаним словом, але й своїм цілим життям

власним прикладом. Сам практикує те, чого навчає

інших.

Своєю любов'ю він особливо обіймає

History of the Basilian Order The beginning of Basilian monastic lit among the Slavs

dates to the eleventh century with the founding of the

"Kievo-Petchrska Lavra", the famous Monastery of the

Caves in Kiev. The construction of the Monastery of the

Caves was begun by St. Anthony and Theodosius

Petchersky.

The Rule of St. Theodosius was formulated in the spirit

of St. Basil the Great. From Kiev, the ideals of St. Basil's

monastic life spread rapidly throughout the Rus'-Ukraine

to White Russia, and to the Russia of today. Thus, the

"Kievo-Petcherska Lavra" became the mother house of

Basilian monasticism throughout Eastern Europe.

I. The Pre-Mongolian Period: This period, existing until

the invasion of the Tartars in the thirteenth century, was

the most glorious in our history. It was a period of the

rapid growth of monasticism. At this time, the monastery

was the center not only of religious life, but of culture

and education.

During this period, the Basilian monks Christianized the

life, customs, and heritage of their people; they took the

lead in organizing schools and libraries and became the

principal writers and artists of the time. Many Basilians

became counselors to the princes and most of the early

Ukrainian diplomats were monks of St. Basil.

II. The Period of Decadence (XIV-XVI Century)

After a promising beginning there followed a period of

regression. The Tartar invasion during the middle of the

thirteenth century resulted in the downfall of the

Rus'-Ukraine, the decline of spirituality of (Cont. on pg. 3) (prod. na stor. 3)

бідних, немічних, недужих і сиріток.

Святий Йосафат це не тільки великий святий і

ревний Христовий апостол, але й мученик. В його

руках видніє пальма мученика за святу віру і єдність

нашої Церкви з престолом святого апостола Петра. І

нічого дивного, де правдива святість і апостольська

ревність, там також і готовість на цілопальну жертву, на

муки і смерть за святу віру.

Закликом почитати і наслідувати святого Йосафата

в любові до нашої святої віри, Церкви, обряду й народу,

хай будуть для нас слова Верховного Архиєпископа

Кардинала Йосифа, які він сказав біля гробу святого

Йосафата 25 листопада 1969 року: "Нехай святий

Йосафат, як вірний син Церкви й народу, аж до

перемоги веде наш народ. Він боронив єдність Церкви

й народу ввесь свій вік. Навіть у Полоцьку на Білорусі

він почувався русином-українцем, а про єдність Церкви

переконував і київських печерських монахів, його

сильний характер і геройська святість життя мусить

і нас підбадьорювати та заохочувати йти по його слідах,

хоч би це також коштувало нам жертви, бо принести

її треба, якщо йдеться про добро Бога, Церкви й

народу" (Благовісник, V, 1-4, 1969).ο. Юліян Катрій,

ЧСВВ, "Пiznaj Сvij Оbr]d"

"May it be the real I who speaks.

May it be the real thou that I speak to." C.S. Lewis

the people, the deterioration of monastic life, and the

decadence of Church organization. At the end of the

sixteenth century, the hierarchy realized that the only way

to halt the decay of religious life was to promote the Holy

Union. Hence, at the Synod of Brest in 1596, the Holy

Union with Rome was proclaimed, and a resurgence of

spiritual and religious life followed.

III. The Renaissance of The Basilian Order (XVII

-XVIII Century) The third period in the history of the

Basilian Order commenced after the Holy Union. Reformed

by St. Josaphat (+1623) and Metropolitan Joseph Veniamin

Rutsky (+1637), the Basilian Order carried the torch of the

Holy Union among Ukrainians and White-Russians. St.

Josaphat and Metropolitan Rutsky infused a new spirit

into the Order by introducing the religious to a new

discipline and new organization. During the 18th century, Basilian monasticism in Ukraine and White-Russia reached its golden age with almost 160 monasteries and 1,225 professed monks. Through their schools, colleges, writings, publications, pilgrimages, retreats, and popular missions, the Basilians were instrumental in the renaissance of religious and spiritual life of the people. Thus, they advanced the Golden Period of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, a period in which all Ukraine and White-Russia, from the Dnieper River to beyond the Carpathian Mountains, professed the Holy Union. At this time almost 20 million faithful were organized in 12 dioceses in communion with Rome. IV. The Period After The Reform (XIX Century - Today) In 1795, after the third and final partition of Poland, most of the Ukraine and White-Russia were turned over to the Czar, a clamorous protector of the Russian Orthodox Faith. The Union and the greater part of the Ukrainian Church were faced with liquidation. After the "Ukaz" of Catherine II in 1795, the Basilian monasteries were the first to be destroyed. The Basilian Order survived only in the western Ukraine which was incorporated in 1772 into the Austro-Hungarian Empire. To cope with the intense Russian drive and propaganda, Pope Leo XIII planned to reactivate the Basilian Order. Thus in 1882 in the Monastery of Dobromyl, the Basilian Reform was instituted. Once again, the Basilian Order flourished, causing a new reawakening of the religious life of our people. The Basilian monks strengthened in spirit and in number also followed the Ukrainian immigration abroad. In 1897, they migrated to Brazil, in 1902 to Canada, in 1909 to Argentina, and in 1910 to Yugoslavia. In 1926, the Basilian Fathers arrived in the United States and in 1948, a separate American Province of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother was erected. After World War II, the Basilian Order behind the Iron Curtain was the first to feel the effects of atheistic communism. And now since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Basilian Order of St. Josaphat continues its mission in the Ukraine and all over the world "Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all the confidence and without hindrance." (Act 28;31)
