Слава Ісусу Христу! (Slava Isusu Khrystu!) - Praised be Jesus Christ!
Dear friends, I am on time (almost ... let's not exaggerate!) As a Swiss watch (or a train in Ukraine, because of their impeccable punctuality) in the invitation the usual communication that takes place shortly before the letter arrived ..., that yes, late (like the Italian train !!!... to be in issue). The me if it is flown in and we are incredibly close to the end of 2010. We have still not well understood if we are playing catch up the time or if he is to stay in it behind in the frenzy of our pastoral ministry and to propose more n ew activities in order to arrange and build, day after day, the new community parish. I think run both ... the important thing is to have a goal, a goal to reach and then, Olympic, "may the best win" in this race to "obstacles". We run with all the breath can still evolve the "best" human and spiritual energies that God lavishes upon us, although we have a nice shoulder "bag of spring." And then for a brief budget year, flew away in a flash, ra t feel there is not much ... we did not anticipate: Everything in its time, as we pass immediately to the roundup of news. memory of our deceased loved ones and GOLODOMOR - The
memory of the dead is celebrated here us, especially after Easter, m al'Ucraina in November (the 'Last Saturday of el months) reminds all deaths due to "Golodomor", the planned starvation by Stalin, and all died because of political repression. Although the figures are erratic (depending on the viewpoints or sources) there remains the deep wound inflicted on the Ukrainian people, especially in the early '30s, the last century, when millions of people died of hunger and starvation. The memory of this genocide (internationally recognized only recently) have an impact on you for people. We too have joined in this celebration, with prayer during the celebration of the Holy Liturgy and lighting, dusk, the candles in the windows of our homes. ELECTIONS AMMINISTRATVE - were held Oct. 31 election adminis trative that affected municipalities, provinces and regions across the country and the Party Regions (Partija Rehioniv), part of 'current government, has been confirmed as the first political force in the country. The 'democratic opposition has won important victories here, Odessa, Kharkiv and Khmel'nyc'kyj. There were the usual protest and for alleged forgery, machinations and pressures on the part of the 'electorate, some irregularity in the distribution of votes, long lines at some polling stations with unnerving waiting times ... but: "... Nothing particularly significant ... everything hath been 'done regularly, "as pointed out by the prime minister, Mykola Azarov, despite the announcement by the opposition. The same Azarov has disclosed that it will by the government to make good the sguidi cards wrongly, intr oducendo, from the upcoming votes, the electronic system. For what concerns us most directly ù The outgoing mayor of L'viv, Andrij Sadovyj, candidate of the Republican Christian Party, got the confirmation, with 46.3% of the vote. Thereof, of a lot, all the other candidates. Is awarded as the "politics" of the young mayor who is doing really egregious things not only at European level in order to credit the city's image but also works to solve the everyday problems of ordinary people, not an easy but to whom the mayor believes, some res ultato here and there, you see. We hope that in this second term will honor its commitments with the same seriousness and determination demonstrated so far.
PROTESTS VARIOUS - The country is experiencing a moment of particular tension. Life here is not to m st ata easy for anyone in recent years and the political situation (the flop of the Orange Revolution) and economic (the global crisis) has literally on his knees for a country already staggering on his own ... there was a climate of tension that we hope is a harbinger of further division in the country that just does not have to need it! We cite two simple facts of the news in recent days, just to give you an idea ... The workers who are committed to building the new city stadium (as you know the next European football championships will be held in Poland and Ukraine-L 'viv will be a the locations of games) have made a sort of strike ... from settemb king and they have not been paid, however continued to work ... from what we know are not the only ones to pay in this situation. An 'other protest erupted at the end of the month in Square (Majdan)' s Independence in Kiev where 10,000 people have organized a tent city to protest against the reform of the "Tax Code". According to many affects small and medium-sized enterprises to promote the interests of "oligarchs", that the handful of characters (some of which are of major government posts) having the power not only economically but also politically, by high and low at their discretion. So a new blow to the fragile economy. Different, obviously the opinion of the President and the Prime Minister who really wanted this reform. The duel has run 'just opened ... even if, by some rumors in recent days, we can well imagine what will happen?
TO MOVING IN ORATORY - Despite the bad weather started (cold,
first signs of the coming rain and snowfall), the chapel has a "sell out" especially in recent days due to the presence of certain groups, given the bad weather to the outside asked to use the internal structures of the monster oratory: and so we or hosted the "Club of the neighborhood children Schevcenko "that played on a ping-pong tournament. Sunday 28 we have also visited the children and youth 's oratorio "St. Dominic Savio (Salesians) ... there was pending a rematch, you will remember. We lost again! But the purpose of 'meeting was to create a little' friendship and cooperation between the speakers: the story accounts Nua. 5 ANNIVERSARY - It 'was certainly beautiful and successful
the festival to commemorate the first five years of n B irth' s oratory (and our presence in the district Topol'na ) thanks to a show prepared by children and young people 's oratory that performed with the skill of always ... In the evening for youth and a larger group of some 'disco music and a nice refreshment. Greetings! IVAN IN ITALY - After nearly a year's stay in the community here in L'viv, Ivan, one of our young candidates left for the 'Italy. Now is Buccinigo d'Erba (Co) to learn a bit 'in Italian, learn more about the congregation and at the same time, check king's own vocation. We, from a distance, follow him with affection and prayer. We also ask you to do the same . Thanks.
COMMUNITY 'Saint Egidio - "Cities for Life, Cities Against the Death Penalty" is the slogan with which the community of Sant' Egidio organized the annual protest against the death penalty Tuesday, November 30. As you know, for this occasion, the famous architectural monuments (the Colosseum in Rome, the 'Ato
mium in Brussels, the square and the cathedral of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna ... just to name a few) -1134 of many famous cities in 81 countries are st-ati symbolically lit. AL'viv, the first city in Ukraine which has joined the initiative, was illuminated Boim's Chapel (near the Cathedral Latin) with the color red "color of life and love," as he recalled in his testimony to human rights activist and president of the organization "Mothers against death penalty Torture, "Tamara Chykunova, especially coming from ' Uzbeki stan. We also have participated in the initiative, despite the cold evening (10 degrees below zero) together with a hundred people joined the peaceful protest. We also hosted a community coordinator of the 'initiative, Salacone Alessandro, who came from Rome with his friend Ivan came from Kjiev. 
PLACEMENT OF STATUE - At the end of the month, the statue of the Madonna, which once had put into the first chapel was "transferred" in the vicinity of the new chapel "St. Luigi Orione." Now awake, throwing his mother's eyes, how many cross Linkol'na gies on the way, who reciprocate with gestures of greeting and respect to confirmation of the great Marian devotion of the Christians of the Eastern Rite. GREETINGS - We, therefore, with their gaze to Mary, a few days of the feast of the Immaculate, we close the our letter of November, wishing you a happy Advent, the 'wish comes spontaneously from the heart, in this new waiting time, together with the fraternal greeting that reaches everyone, especially those who contend daily with prayer and works of charity, our mission . We work together for the coming of the Kingdom, while we wait for Him who came, and it will be. All good! As always, a friendly
