Brotherhood of the Presentation of the
Theotokos into the Temple
In 1883 spiritual director of Lviv Seminary
Fr. Isidore Dol’nytskyi established the Brotherhood of the Presentation of
the Theotokos into the Temple. The main desire of father’s life was to
sanctify his spiritual children, fostering a spirit of prayer and to
cultivate in them an even greater love to Our Lord and to all mankind. He
knew that every single seminarian can do all this only under guidance of Our
Lady. Therefore he decided to establish Brotherhood where its members will
be entrusted to the special spiritual guidance and care of Most Holy Mother.

Liturgical patrimony
The
pre-eminence of the liturgical patrimony is even greater in the Eastern
Churches because they have maintained in a special way the primacy of the
liturgy as the summit of Christian life, remaining thus completely faithful
to the spirit of the Church of the Fathers, when the liturgy was the place
where catechesis and religious teaching occurred; the Scripture was
proclaimed and commented;- the catechumens and penitents were prepared for
Baptism and Reconciliation accordingly, in the period preceding Easter, in a
perfect synthesis of instructions and symbols; even the diakonia found its
place there. The whole life of the Church was, therefore, summarized in the
liturgy. Even today, it is this model which inspires the Eastern Churches
and which constitutes their force. This model should be the inspiration
especially for the necessary revaluation of the "mystagogical" method for
the formation of the faithful: from the liturgy, understood and assimilated,
progress in the life of Christ is born.
