      Metropolitan Borys Gudziak concelebrated Ash Wednesday Mass at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington D.C.

      On March 2nd, 2022 during the Ash Wednesday Mass in Cathedral of St. Matthew Apostle in Washington, DC,  in the spesial way parishioners prayed for peace in Ukraine and easter Europe.

      Archbishop Borys Gudziak, Metropolitan Archbishop of Philadelphia of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was a special guest and concelebrant.

      In his homily, Cardinal Gregory encouraged the faithful to not only pray for the conversion of the hearts of those who are inflicting evil on Ukraine but to also pray for the conversion of our own hearts. ⁣⁣

      “This Ash Wednesday we are all painfully aware about the violence that returned to our world with the brutal war that is raging in Ukraine. May Lent 2022 be a season of grace for you and for all of our loved ones… I hope that this heart-rending news will better prepare us to celebrate the Easter glory when all hearts will be made perfect and will be made new. Rend your hearts and not your garments, for our hearts need to be refashioned and turned more directly toward God and in merciful charity toward one another.”⁣

      Before and during the Mass, the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle’s Schola Cantorum also sang two Ukrainian hymns, as we all pray for an end to the unprovoked war in Ukraine and peace around the world.
