роль отця джозефа шрайверів в духовному житті сестер василіан у міжвоєнний період xx століття

Документ заснований на архівних матеріалах і розкриває роль батька Йосифа Шріверверса в духовному житті сестер-василіян у міжвоєнний період (XX століття). Будучи сповідальником, примарним батьком та апостольським візитатором, він багато зробив внесок у розвиток монастирів сестер Василіянок. Організовуючи спогади, конференції та духовні вчення, отець Йосиф допомагав черницям і в їхньому духовному житті.

Доведено, що авторитет і мудрі рішення отця Йосифа як апостольського візитатора вирішили дуже важливе питання в монастирях сестер Василіянок, а саме поділ монахинь на дві категорії (хори) - хорові (освічені, виконували викладацьку роботу ) та «домашні» (виконували монастирські роботи). Таким чином отець Йосиф Шріверс відіграв значну роль у розвитку монастирів сестер Василіянок у міжвоєнний період.

Father Joseph Schrijvers, the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, was born on December 19, 1876 in the town of Zutendel (Belgium). After graduation of the Episcopal Council of St. Joseph in Gas- selgi (1894), Schrijvers joined the Congregation of the Redemptorist Fathers and on October 2, 1900 was ordained a priest in the monastery of Bologna. At first Schrijvers taught Philosophy to young Redemptorist students, and later became their prefect. Since then he began his writing activities.

In 1913 thanks to efforts of Servant of God, Metropolitan Andrey (Sheptytskyi), eastern branch of the Congregation of Redemptorists was founded, and according to the will of religious establishment father Joseph Schrijvers became its first superior. A totally new page in the life of a young priest began. With the arrival in 1913 to Galicia (Halychyna), then the part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, several young Redemptorists from Belgium settled in the summer residence of Metropolitan A. Sheptytskyi in the village of Univ. During 1913-1919 father J. Schrijvers was Superior of the Univ Congregation and remained vice-protohegu- men of the Community right up to May 1933. During that period the Community grew in number, new covenants in Lviv (Zboiska and Holosko), Stanislaviv, Kovel and Ternopil were opened. For certain time father Joseph (1918-1929, 1921-1922) was the master of novices. Besides, Superior administration father preceded the apostleship of writing; he was confessor of many people, and eventually Apostolic Visitator of all Greek-Catholic Church convents. Highly appreciating personality of this humble monk, Pope Pius XI ordered him to arrange and edit the Rules of life of Sisters Servants and Sisters Josephites. In 1993 archimandrite assigned father Joseph become protohegumen of Belgium province, and in May 1936 the latter was selected to be Advisor General and moved to Rome for permanent residency. In autumn 1938 was the last time he visited Galicia, making general Visitation of the vice-province. Father Joseph died on March 4, 1945 in Rome, the city where he was buried [1, p. 26-27].

“Ukrainian people is astonished and loves father Schrijvers”, - these are the words his dear friends Servant of God Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi and the Blessed Kyrios Mykolay Charnetskyi often used to say. In his memoirs Josyf Slipyi wrote that fathers Redemptorists soon gained popularity and encouragement with their missions and recollections, and this to great measure thanks to mystical spirit of father Joseph Schrijvers [2, p. 203].

In the present article we would like to focus on personality of father Joseph as confessor, ghostly father and Apostolic Visitator of the Basilian Sisters during the interwar period.

First of all it is worth mentioning that father J. Schrijvers had great influence both on particular Basilian nuns, about what many personal evidences, sisters' memories and letters preserved, and generally on their convents, the fact concerning which we have evidences in the convent chronicles and archival documents.

The cooperation of father J. Schrijvers with the Basilian Sisters has been considerably reconstructed on the basis of the sources housed in convent archives of the Order of St. Basil the Great, more specifically in Provincial Archives of the Basilian Sisters in Lviv (hereinafter - PASBL), Provincial Archives of the Basilian Sisters in Fox Chase (PA, USA) (hereinafter - PASBF), the Archives of the Most Holy Redeemer Congregation of Belgium Northern Province which currently is kept in Katholiek Documentatie en Onder- zoekscentrum in Leuven: Archief Noord-Belgische Provincie van de Congregatie van de Allerheiligste Verlosser (Redemptoristen) (hereinafter: KADOC, ANBPCAV) in archived of educational establishments, e.g. Archives of Institute of the History of Church of the Ukrainian Catholic University (hereinafter: AIHC); and other state archival facilities, in particular in the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv (hereinafter CSHAUL).

Thus in Lviv Historical Archives there preserved many documentary evidences, namely: certificates and guidelines of Metropolitan Andrey which among others referred to father Joseph, e.g. his assignment to be Extraordinary Confessor of the Convent of the Basil- ian Sisters in Zhuravno village [3, p. 5] or nominating him Apostolic Visitator for all Basilian convents [4, p. 3], etc. The funds of the said Archives store numerous epistolary heritage of mother Monika Polanska, the correspondence she carried on with Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, her spiritual leader. In her letters to Metropolitan mother Monika very often brought father Joseph Schrijvers to mind, as well as his spiritual care towards her personally and covenants of the Basilian Sisters. One of the letters reads: “I feel such great ease in writing letters to His Excellence and Father Hegumen Schrijvers, that truly, if my own Father whom I loved more than life had lived, I wouldn't have written to Him more frankly than I write and I wrote them to his Excellence and Father Hegumen” [5, p. 167-168].

Having become Mother Superior of Slovita Convent in one of the letters to Metropolitan (of April, 5th 1917) mother Monika wrote: “In the year of 1914 in winter Right Reverend Father Hegumen from Univ (father Joseph Schrijvers, of the Order of the Most Holy Redeemer - author's note) started confessing us. When I confessed him for the first time, I felt with my soul that He is the leader for my soul. Something hastened me to confess Him all my life. I revealed Father Hegumen the state of my soul. From that time on the rivalry of my soul is eased, I only wish I would never lack that strong will in conquering my passions and that ardent love which burns all obstacles on the way to unification with Christ.

I strive opening all requirements of my soul frankly before Father Hegumen. Right Reverend Father Hegu- men calmed me and told to leave all rivalry and only love Christ, which became great privilege for me in speculation, prayer and temptations, and recommended me not to pay attention to acts of sisters, as if there were no one in the world but Christ and me. And truly, this is the best remedy...” [6, p. 1-5].

From mother Monika's letter to Metropolitan Sheptytskyi cited above we come to know that father Joseph, being Hegumen in Univ ((1913-1919), in 1914 becomes confessor for the Basilian Sisters in Slovita. From the nun's tale we may conclude that he encouraged sisters to love Christ and trust Him with all their hearts.

In November 1917 with consent of Metropolitan Andrey mother Monika Polanska accepted her mother Lyubov (Kharytyna) Teodorovych, a priest's widow, to the convent. On hegumeness's request the Metropolitan ordinariate authorized father Joseph Schrijvers to conduct ceremony of Clothing (a ceremony of introduction to monastic life, when a person receives monastic attire and new name - author's note) on Lyubov (Kharytyna) Teodorovych on May, 5th, 1918 [7, p. 79].

In 1920 the Basilian Sisters Convent in Zhuravno was founded, as well as the orphanage for post-war orphans. This convent was a branch of Slovita convent. Metropolitan A. Sheptytskyi orders: “Initiate Father Vasyl Pylypchuk be ordinary, and Father Hegu- men Schrijvers be extraordinary confessor for nuns at Zhuravno convent” [3, p. 5].

In one more letter dated March 29th 1924 mother Monika informs Metropolitan Andrey that on April 19th Father Joseph Schrijvers came to Slovita to conduct recollections for children, and asked Metropolitan to let children from Lviv join those recollections: “Children from Zolochiv will come, but I also wish children from Lviv would come, because here they will benefit for their soul more than participating in recollections at school. That is why I also think His Excellence will have nothing against” [8, p. 26-27].

It's worth mentioning that His Grace to-be, Vasyl Velychkovskyi (today the Blessed) first met father J. Schrijvers through the mediation of mother Monika Po- lanska. This event had a decisive impact on monastical and priestly appeal of the young boy. He was mother Monika's nephew and in his memoirs he recalls visiting with her Monastery of Fathers Redemptorists in Zboiska: “Once in summer 1924 my aunt, hegumeness of the Basilian Sisters form Slovita, mother Monika talked to me for a while and asked whether I could accompany her to Zboiska (Zboishcha (PL Zboiska) - locality near Lviv, now part of Shevchenkivskyi district of the city. In 1919-1945 there was the Redemptorists Monastery of the Mother of Perpetual Help there - author's note), to the monastery of Fathers Redemptorists, because she had to discuss spiritual issues with father Schrijvers Joseph. This happened after lunch and in the time free from lectures, and I, with approval of father vice-rector, went with my aunt to Zboiska. We came to the monastery, aunt rang the bell, went into the parlour where father Joseph Schrijvers had to come to, and I stayed outside to smoke in the park surrounding the monastery. In a while my aunt came to threshold and told me to come inside. I did and greeted the grey-haired, kind and smiling father Joseph Schrijvers whom I hadn't known before, and he said as if an old friend: “Well, well I will accept you to our monastery. You go home for a while for vacations, and on August 1st come to Holoska for noviciate ...”. That was the answer without my question, without my request. Speaking like a normal person, I had a right to resent or at least tell that neither I was the one to ask or asked my aunt to be mediator. Nevertheless, I didn't utter a word, only bid goodbye and went out with my aunt, with her I also did not speak a word about the case. I felt so much lighter and merrier, the fullness of affection as a sudden flood overflew it. There were no words on the lips of either me, or the aunt, because we, an elderly nun and I who stood at the monastery threshold, were aware of the weight and grandeur of the event which was not profane or human, but celestial and divine - the affection of monastic mission.” [9, p. 80-81].

It's worth mentioning that besides spiritual care and support, father J. Schrijvers also rendered the Basilian Sisters financial help. Thus, in 1930 mother Monika wished to buy a plot in the village of Pidmykhaylivtsi in Stanislaviv region to build a convent. Having come against financial difficulties associated with purchasing of a new house, she wrote to Metropolitan Andrey: “I want nothing but full glorification of the All-Holy Trinity in that convent, and arise many saints. And if this is not to come, I ask you to pray that the convent would not be there” [10, p. 54-57]. Mother Monika received help to pay money for Pidmykhaylivtsi convent from Metropolitan A. Sheptytskyi and father J. Schrijvers, borrowing considerable sum which she gave back after her trip to America where she was fund raising donations for this purpose in Ukrainian parishes.

During mother Monika's stay in the USA, sisters of Slovita convent and affiliated nunneries in Zolochiv, Vyshnivchyk and Pidmykhaylivtsi at a home council on June 6th 1930 with present Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi and ordinariate Commissar father Klymentiy Sheptytskyi elected her to be hegumeness of their convent [11, p. 1-3]. This choice was also supported by father Joseph Schrijvers, because it was him who in his communication with the sisters promoted mother Monika to be selected hegumeness [12, p. 200-202].

Being the nuns' confessor, father J. Schrijvers had an extreme spiritual impact on sisters Cecilia Kapko and Magdalyna Datskiv. Sister Cecilia entered the convent of the Basilian Sisters in Lviv in 1920. Here first she performed duties of housemother for orphans. Eventually she graduated from courses for governesses for children and youth in Warsaw and became prefect for seminary lady-students at the Teachers' Seminary led by the Basilian Sisters. She left extremely precious memories on spiritual care of father Joseph he rendered both her and the whole house of prayer [13, p. 143-146].

Sister Magdalyna Olha Datskiv was born in 1911 in Univ. Her father returned from the fronts of the I World War, soon fell ill and died. Her mother became widow with five children, three of whom with time dedicated to service of God. Her elder sister Yevdokiya entered the Basilian Sisters convent in Slovita (monastic name - Emilia), and brothers Ivan and Vasyl (monastic names - Alfons and Toma) entered monastery of the Order of the Most Holy Redeemer. Father Joseph Schrijvers buried their father; he also brought seven-year Olha to orphanage of the Basilian Sisters convent in Slovita. After this during four years she had been learning at gymnasia (upper secondary school) in Zolochiv, and then during two years she took private lessons at Teachers' seminary of the Basilian Sisters in Lviv. At the age of 18 she entered Slovita convent. The most considerable impact on her monastic vocation was that of father Joseph Schrijvers who took care of her as early as a child, and with time became her spiritual leader [13, p. 321].

In the archival documents there writes that father Joseph at times conducted recollections for the Basil- ian Sisters; in 1933 he gave the First Holy Community to children at school of St. Makryna convent in Pototskyi street, 95 [14, p. 144] and maintained correspondence with the sisters.

In 1931 Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi called Yavoriv General Council that is the chapter of convents of the Order of St. Basil the Great, which lasted from 25 to 27 December. The task of the chapter was to consider necessary changes of the Charters and Constitutions of the Basilian Sisters [13, p. 77]. There were present all nun-delegates of all the houses as well as representatives of ordinariates. The chapter approved a series of important resolutions which should strengthen the internal life in the religious houses and encourage nuns' activity among the Ukrainian people. However, most urgent was the issue of equality of the domestic and choral sisters which failed to be solved. Also no changes were introduced to the Constitutions. So, the nuns' anticipations for changes were in vain, and they decided to address to the Apostolic Capital for help.

In response to decision of the General Council the Congregation for the Oriental Churches with Decree of February 7th 1933 assigned father Joseph Schrijvers, vice - protohegumen of the Redemptorists in Galicia to be Apostolic Visitator for the Basilian Sisters' convents [15, p. 3]. According to statistics of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, as of 1932 there were 25 Basilian convents: 11 in Lviv Eparchy, 4 - in Peremyshl Eparchy, 2 - in Stanislaviv Eparchy and 1 in Pryshiv, 4 - in Krizhevci Eparchy and 3 - in the USA. Total number of sisters was 363, with 307 in Galicia, 10 - in Czechoslovakia, 17 - in Yugoslavia and 29 in the USA [16, p. 396]. The task of father J. Schrijvers as the Apostolic Visitator was to conduct visitation of all the above mentioned convents, eliminate the faults and encourage the nuns to obey monastic discipline rules and present the Apostolic Chair a new project of Constitutions of the Basilian Sisters. The Ukrainian translation of this Decree together with accompanying letter was sent from the Chancellery of the Greek-Catholic Metropolitan Chancery to all covenants of the Basilian Sisters [15, p. 4].

From these decrees we may see what power the Apostolic Visitator had and the respect Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi expressed when ordering to receive him, also emphasizing that during visitation even the metropolitan ordinariate had no right to take any measures referring to covenants and nuns.

Thus, the Decree on Assignment of the Apostolic Visitator was read to the Basilian Sisters from Yavoriv convent belonging to Peremyshl Eparchy by Pere- myshl Bishop Josaphat Kotsylovskyi on February 23, 1931 [17]. With the example of the said Yavoriv convent one may see how visitations of father Joseph to convents went on - there is a detailed description in the convent chronicle: “On March 30th there came for canonic visitation of the Yavoriv convent High Reverend Father J. Schrijvers, Apostolic Visitator. To meet High Reverend Father Visitator at the railway station there went Honest Father A. Zalitach, the convent chaplain. Teachers' council together with the students greeted the Guest in front of the convent gates, and nuns were wearing robes and stood in the portal. After a short exhortation confessions of nuns started, beginning form the youngest, that is novices. Thus Father Visitator was shown the convent, institute, utilities and entered the clausura accompanied by High Reverend M. Hegumeness. During visitation there had been presented all books, both convent and school (protocols, library catalogues, chronicles) which he signed. The Apostolic visitation finished with exhortation sermonized by High Reverend Father Visitator addressed to all nuns gathered in the chapel and blessing for complete indulgency. General photo of all nuns with Apostolic Visitator, High Rev. Father Schrijvers lodged in the memory those rare days” [17].

In April 1933 father Joseph conducted visitation of Slovita convent where mother Monika Polanska was a hegumeness. On April 24, 1933 she handed to the Apostolic visitator father J. Schrijvers the refusal of hegumeness position [18, p. 5], and with his blessing started her hermitage in Pidmykhaylivtsi convent. However on December 1, 1933 upon request of father Klymentiy Sheptytkyi (Metropolitan Commissar) she had to forbid the hermitage and accept the hegumeness position in Pidmykhaylivtsi convent.

Father J. Schrijvers visited these convents in Galicia in: Yavoriv, Peremyshl, Drohobych, Nyzhnye Vysotske, Slovita, Korchyn and Vyshnivchyk, Pidmykhaylivtsi, Lviv (St. Makryna and St. Basil), Pid- lyute, Stanislaviv, Kudryntsi, Zhyrivka. Eventually he conducted visitation to convents in Shida, Krizevci (Yugoslavia), Uzhgorod and Presov (Czechoslovakia) and Fox-Chase (USA).

In the end of May 1933 father Joseph was assigned to be protohegumen of the Belgium Province of Fathers Redemptorists with centre in Brussels, that is why he officially resigned from position of visitator. Nevertheless he returned to Galicia the next year to complete this critical mission.

In the Chronicles of the Lviv Basilian Sisters convent it is noted that on June 20-21, 1934 the canonic visitation of the house of prayer was conducted by father Joseph Schrijvers: “Today after his all-year stay in Belgium High Reverend Father Visitator Joseph Schrijvers has come to complete the canonic visitation conducted the year before, which he could not have completed then. At 9 o'clock in the morning to the call of the convent bell all nuns came to the chapel. To greet us High Rev. Father Visitator sermonized the most beautiful conference on the perfect postulancy. Upon exhortation high Rev. Father Visitator accepted sisters in the parlour to confess them, as well as those having important things to discuss. The next day, that is on the 21th of April c. y., there was the completion of the canonic visitation conducted by High Rev. Father Visitator as Emissary of the Holy Father. At the closing High Rev. Father Visitator sermonized exhortation where in a deeply thought through manner he gave the nuns pieces of advice on how to reconcile their life to preserve peace and accord: With the Lord, with themselves and others in common life. Upon exhortation high Rev. Father Visitator bestowed the Apostolic blessing together with complete indulgence” [19].

We may state with assurance that the prestige and wise decisions of father Joseph Schrijvers contributed the solution of one more critical case in convents of the Basilian Sisters, that is the issue of division into two categories (choruses) - choral (school teachers who had the right to participate in choral prayer) and domestic (those who performed various convent jobs and, according to the then Constitutions, rarely took part in common prayers). That is how father J. Schrijvers worked out this issue in Yavoriv convent and its branch in Peremyshl: “The 24th of VII. the letter from Yavoriv from High Rev. M. Hegumeness to the local Mother Superior, where, informing sisters, that Apostolic Visitator High Rev. Father Schrijvers, with common understanding of choral nuns of the Peremyshl Eparchy, allows domestic sisters take part in choral prayers on Sundays and Holidays, to the extent their responsibilities let them do it, concerning which Hegumeness of Yavoriv convent decides. Because in Peremyshl convent there are only two choral sisters and oftentimes only one of them, and 4 domestic sisters, in order not to hinder their responsibilities, High Rev. M. Hegumeness allows sisters make use of this right only during the summer and winter vacations, besides that time previous order shall preserve. The letter was read to the sisters at dining table on the 28th of VII, and on the 29th of VII, on Sunday, the sisters already participated in the prayers together with the choral ones at matins and vespers” [20].

On 27th of May 1935 the Congregation for the Oriental Churches informed me on assignment of the new apostolic visitator for convents of the Basilian Sisters - father Joseph Baron [21, p. 8].

In 1936 father J. Schrijvers represented the Galician and Canadian vice-provinces at the Chapter General of the Congregation, and on May, 24 the same year he was elected to be the Advisor General with headquarters in Rome. He was also assigned by Pope Pius XI to be the Apostolic Visitator for all Ukrainian nunnery congregations both in Ukraine and in Canada, North America and Brazil.

In 1938 father Joseph visited Ukraine for the last time, from Rome. He visited Pidmykhaylivtsi Basilian Sisters' convent. From the memories of nun Dariya Svirska of the Order of St. Basil the Great we know that there paralyzed sister Magdalyna Abodych lived, and after visiting her father Joseph said to the sisters: “You have a saint here” [22].

In the Archives of the Belgium Redemptorists (KADOC, ANBPCAV) many documentary evidences the most numerous of which is the correspondence of the Basilian Sisters with father Joseph. Those were congratulations on Christmas and Easter as well as personal letters in which they asked for spiritual advice of father Schrijvers [23]. The above mentioned facts testify that father Joseph, staying in Rome, continued taking spiritual care on the Basilian Sisters in Eastern Galicia.

Today, from the perspective of time and based on these small fragments presented herein we may see that father Joseph Schrijvers' role in the Basilian Sisters' life in the inter-war period was very significant. Being the confessor, spiritual guide and Apostolic Visitator, often conducting recollections to sisters, as well as conferences and spiritual homilies, he helped them a lot on the road of spiritual life. His beneficence, submission, kindness and inexhaustive toil to the glory of God and redemption of the even-Christians is the example to follow for us.

As has been mentioned, materials used for this paper are only fragmentary evidences; nevertheless even such handful of information could facilitate more substantiated research of his influence and role in the history of the Greek-Catholic Church in the interwar period in Galicia, as well as of the more detailed study of the life of father Joseph Schrijvers himself.
