22A Mother’s LoveМатеринська ЛюбовFor Our ChildrenLove is patient, love is kind—it always protects, always trusts,always hopes, always perseveres. (read I Corinth ians chapter13). These words taken from the Bible are the essenceof what a mother’s love is for her child.A mother’s love is something that no one can explain. Some -times, she loves her children even when they don’t deserve to beloved. It represents the highest level of sacrifice from the day thechild is born to the day she dies.In two recent issues of MACLEAN’S magazine there were articlesworth noting. The first one was about Chinese mothers whoare required by law to bear no more than one child, and then preferablya boy. It talks about the gut-wrenching pains that these mothersgo through when they give up their baby girls for adoption in foreigncountries.The other was of course the recent disaster in Ja -pan. We can only imagine what these mothers have gone throughlosing their children.During World War II—British mothers sent their children to Ca -nada to keep them safe from the war.Many examples of mothers’ love can be found in the Bible.Mothers and women in general are mentioned in the Bible manytimes as they played a prominent role then.Let’s review the story of Moses. At that time the king of Egyptwas afraid that the people of Israel were growing too strong so heordered that all the baby boys born to Israelites were to be drown -ed. The mother of Moses loved her baby too much to let such adreadful thing happen.When Pharaoh ordered all the baby boys to be put to death, shethought of a plan to save her infant son. She wove a water-proofbasket, placed the baby inside, and floated the basket in the NileRiver. She hoped that someone would find the child and keep him.Є різні почуття любові в сві ті, але не замінеш мамину лю -бов.Слова із послання св. Апо стола до Коринтян якраз по даютьобраз із такої лю бови [І Кор. 13]. Любов довго терпить, ми ло -сердує, любов не зави дує, любов не величається, не на ди ма -ється.У 1958 р. Загостив до Kана ди добре знаний співак із Ук -раїни Дмитро Гнатюк i зачарував нас піснею “РІДНА МАТИМОЯ”—що і сьогодні загальновідома.Рідна мати моя, ти ночей не доспала,Ти водила мене у поля край села,І в дорогу далеку ти мене на зорі проводжалаІ рушник вишиваний на щастя дала,І в дорогу далеку ти мене на зорі проводжала,І рушник вишиваний на щастя, на долю дала.Хай на ньому цвіте росяниста доріжка,І зелені луги, й солов'їні гаї,І твоя незрадлива материнська ласкава усмішка,І засмучені очі хороші твої,І твоя незрадлива материнська ласкава усмішка,І засмучені очі хороші блакитні твої,Я візму той рушник, простелю наче долю,В тихім шелесті трав, в щебетанні дібров,І на тім рушничкові оживе все знайоме до болю-І дитинсьтво розлука і вірна любов.І на тім рушникові оживе все знайоме до болю-І дитинсьтво, й розлука, й твоя материнська любов.ВІСНИКтравень 2011Someone did—Pharaoh’s daugh -ter. When she went to the river tobathe, she saw the basket andhad it brought to her. She adoptedthe baby as her own child andnamed him Moses which means“pulled from the water.” And we allknow what an important man hegrew up to be.We have just observed Easter,the crucifixion of our Lord JesusChrist on a cross at a place calledCalvary or Golgotha near Jeru sa -lem. Death on the cross was aslow, painful way to die. As Jesusgrew weaker and weaker, a group Dobrodiyka Janeof women stood at the foot of thecross and cried. Among the women was His mother Mary. Of all Hisfollowers, only these few women came to weep at Jesus’ feet. Marywas very sad to see how much her beloved son had to suf fer. (Readyour bibles about the se events in John 19:25-27) Je sus spoke toHis mother and told her that from now on John would be like a sonto her. Then He spoke to His disciple John and said, “Treat her likeyour own mo ther, John.”From that time on, John took Mary to live with him in his home.According to our Eastern Ortho dox tradition and teaching, the Vir -gin Mary lived at the home of the Evangelist John and ministeredto the sick and poor. Many of Christ’s followers came to her to findspiritual peace and joy. The years passed and as she neared herdeath she expressed the desire to see all the apostles. All of themcame except Thomas. Mary was buried in the Garden of Gethse -mane. Three days after her funeral the apostle Thomas arrived andwhen he went to visit Mary’s grave he was astounded to find itempty. So the apostles concluded that she had been taken intoheaven. We observe this feast called the Assumption of the VirginMary on August 28th. We still pray to her when we are in sorrow orneed so she is like mother to all of us.Generally the second Sunday in May is designated as Mother’sDay. This holiday as such was es tablished by an American ladynamed Anna Marie Jarvis following the death of her own mother in1905. On this day at the first church service she had 500 carnationsgiven to people to wear in honour of their mothers—a white carnationif the mother had died and a red one if she was living. I re -member this custom in our churchesmany years ago but do es not seemto happen any more.So what does your mother ex pectfrom you? Remember to give her aloving hug today and always. LOVEis the greatest gift you can give her.Remember also what God has commanded,“Honour your mother andfather, so that you may live long inthe Land the Lord your God is givingyou.” God be with you!ВІСНИК • THE HERALD Tel.: 1-877-586-3093 Fax: (204) 582-5241 E-mail: visnyk@uocc.ca web:www.uocc.ca
