Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA Offers Prayers Following the Terrorist Attack at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport: (http://uocofusa.org/news_160628_1....html) Following the most horrific, deplorable, and senseless acts of violence and terror at Istanbul’s International Airport, the Council of Bishops of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA expresses its solidarity with the people of Turkey and those of other nations, whose citizens traveled through the one of the busiest airports in the world, and extends heartfelt prayers to the families of those who were killed or injured as a result of the attack. Our hearts and minds are prayerfully also with the emergency responders, law enforcement agents, and security officers. Following his safe return to the United States of America from Crete (Greece) via Istanbul International Airport earlier today, and upon learning about the tragic events in Istanbul from Bishop Daniel, His Eminence Metropolitan Antony stated, Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA stands alongside all people of faith and good will, and supports the efforts of religious leaders especially His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew to forge mutual understanding, respect and reconciliation among all people During this time of tragedy, as we experience pain, sorrow, and indignation, we must remain inseparably connected to our faith, especially to the salvific events of Cross and Resurrection, the ultimate source of comfort, solace and peace. The Council of Bishops of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, speaking on behalf of the entire plentitude of the Church condemns the blind violence that causes so much suffering and implores God for the gift of peace. Sadly, this murderous attack is only the latest in a series of attacks aimed at killing of innocent civilians. Such attacks must reinforce the determination of the worldwide community to work closely with each other to counter the scourge of terrorism and support all those across the planet who are working to promote peace and reconciliation. We pray that the Lord’s mercy will be upon us during this time of sadness. We urge the clergy and faithful of our UOC of the USA and people of good will throughout the world to turn their hearts and souls to Christ the Savior, Who consoles and guides us through suffering with mercy and tenderness. The healing power of Christ goes beyond our physical wounds but touches every level of our humanity: physical, emotional, social, spiritual. The eternal call of Christ to us all is to remain fervent in our protection of life and human dignity and to pray unceasingly for peace in our world. With prayers in Christ, the Merciful Savior and Counselor of our souls, +Antony, Metropolitan of the UOC of the USA +Daniel, Bishop of the UOC of the USA

Scripture Readings for Friday, June 17, 2016 John 17:18-26 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I san...ctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. 20 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
