Vicnaja jemu pamjat!

May the feet which walked in the Holy of Holies not tread in the darkness of death, but in Paradise with the Great High Priest.

May Christ the High Priest take His faithful worker in His Vineyard unto Himself!

I recognize Msgr Levkukic's name from my treasured, well-worn Ruthenian Catholic pew book (still in use), given away when my old church replaced them with new ones. I also remember seeing it in Johnstown's (the Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese) pew book, as his work was a source material for it. Apparently his was one of the first official translations to English.

Я молился за о. Василя сегодня утром на вервицах: на четв�ртой славной тайнстве — успения Богородицы.

�Со святими упокой, Христе Боже, душу усопшаго раба Твоего, отца Василя, идеже несть болезнь, ни печаль, ни воздыханiе, но жизнь безконечная.�

Бог дасть ему вечная память.

Dear Serge,

You never fail to impress me and I vote you to be a Pillar of Orthodoxy.

Let's keep quiet about it or else New Skete just might do an icon of you next month!
