Sunday of The Parlytic

Close to the Sheep's in Jerusalem, there was a pool, which was called the Sheep's Pool. It had round about it five porches, that is, five sets of pillars supporting a domed roof. Under this roof there lay very many sick people with various maladies, awaiting the moving of the water. The first to step in after the troubling of the water was healed immediately of whatever malady he had.

It was there that the paralytic of today's Gospel way lying, tormented by his infirmity of thirty-eight years. When Christ beheld him, He asked him, "Wilt thou be made whole?" And he answered with a quiet and meek voice, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool." The Lord said unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." And straightaway the man was made whole and took up his bed. Walking in the presence of all, he departed rejoicing to his own house. According to the expounders of the Gospels, the Lord Jesus healed this paralytic during the days of the Passover, when He had gone to Jerusalem for the Feast, and dwelt there teaching and working miracles. According to Saint John the Evangelist, this miracle took place on the Sabbath.


NOTES….from Parish Council Meeting on April 22, 2007

The following parish Council members were present: Mark Sudik, Rose Plowchin, Mark Braun, John Hrapchak, Michael Buchko, Jr., Dan Breno and Father Miles Zdinak.

After making some suggestions, the Council approved the plan which starts on April 29 and is completed on July 22.

3. John Hrapchak received a call from the school indicating their desire to go forward with building on our site. Council identified the issues and procedures on how to proceed. John will arrange a meeting with Mrs. Swan and her partners to find out their proposal.

4. Marie Sudik reported that the menu will be the same for the Parishioner Appreciation Picnic on June 10 and that a sign-up sheet will be placed on the bulletin board.

5. Father Miles requested that storage space be provided in the rectory attic by laying plywood and adding a pull-down staircase. Mark Sudik said the project could be done by parish volunteers. He will determine when the project can be done.
