The June 4 enthronement of Metropolitan Archbishop Borys Gudziak at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Philadelphia spotlighted three women. The first, young and disabled, was wheeled to the center of the congregation by the second, her mother. One could find more than one message here – a reminder of our own brokenness and need for healing (whether mental, physical, or spiritual), and an example of the value of a life spent caring for another. The third woman, roughly the same age as the first, was a nun. The message here seemed to be that even in today’s “secularized” America, a young, educated person can freely choose a life of devotion to God. In a culture obsessed with health, hedonism and the self, and laced with skepticism about the divine, these are contrarian messages.
