At noon on April 14, 2010, in the Kyiv bookstore Ye [Є] (3 Lysenko St.), Patriarch Lubomyr (Husar), head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, will presents his second audio book “The Road to Thy Neighbor.” The distinguished Ukrainian journalist, director of the TV channel TVi Mykola Knyazhytskyj who interviewed the hierarch for the audio book will also take part in the presentation. The multimedia studio Svichado issued the second audio book of Patriarch Lubomyr. The national artist of Ukraine Nina Matviyenko recorded the foreword for the audio book. The book consists of two disks and is presented in the form of an interview. In the audio book “The Road to Thy Neighbor” His Beatitude Lubomyr will share with listeners his responses to such topics as love, contraception and abortion, the conflict of generations, the citizen and state, and patriotism and chauvinism. How to be when love is not strong enough? How does the Church treat the search of the “other half” through meetings with a few people? If the Church is against abortion, then why is it also against contraception? Is a woman supposed to stay at home while the man works? What is the duty of parents to their children? To provide inheritance or education? How to build relations between different generations? Answers to these and other questions will be found in the second audio book of the Head of the UGCC.

 “Unfortunately, during the history of humanity, from the very beginning to today, there were problems between generations. I do not know whether there is a man in the world who did not at least make a small mistake…”

“Love to Ukraine is a wonderful slogan. It is possible to talk ardent, wonderful words about love to Ukraine: it does not obligate to anything. And Ukrainians, habitants of this country need to be loved – this is love to Ukraine”
