Prayer For Peace in Ukraine
Heavenly Father, You Son taught us “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God.” We fervently pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that you inspire men to become peacemakers. May mankind seek reconciliation and peace as is Your Will in this world. May tranquility be restored to all nations and especially Ukraine. God, Our Father, we beseech You to comfort the suffering, heal the wounded, and accept the souls of the dearly departed into Your heavenly kingdom. May the Most Holy Mother of God extend Her Mantle of Protection over Ukraine and the whole world. May each of us always live our lives as instruments of Your peace, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

- Transfiguration of our Lord Holy Day
In Christian teachings, the Transfiguration is a pivotal moment, and the setting on the mountain is presented as the point where human nature meets God: the meeting place for the temporal and the eternal, with Jesus himself as the connecting point, acting as the bridge between heaven and earth. The transfiguration not only supports the identity of Jesus as the Son of God, but the statement “listen to him”, identifies him as the messenger and mouth-piece of God. The significance of this identification is enhanced by the presence of Elijah and Moses, for it indicates to the apostles that Jesus is the voice of God. At the Transfiguration, God assigns to Jesus a special “honor and glory” and it is the turning point at which God exalts Jesus above all other powers in creation and positions him as ruler and judge.
- Some Highlights in Saint Vladimir Parish History:
1908 – August 10 – “The Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church Congregation of Saint Wolodymir of Scranton, Pennsylvania” is legally incorporated.
- Blessing of Fruit this Weekend
