Reporter Sign up now (Courtesy of the Sisters of the Order of St Basil the Great) View Author Profile Editor's note: Global Sisters Report's new series, Hope Amid Turmoil: Sisters in Conflict Areas offers a look at the lives and ministries of women religious serving in dangerous places worldwide columns and Q&As in this series will include sisters in Ukraine I look at the walls of the small kitchen of our monastery (straight lines stone flowers) and think about how deeply we humans have a longing for harmony and order we are used to the fact that from time to time we must change our place of residence or ministry I am sure that the childhood memories still live in each of us: the smells and sounds of the house where we were born and grew up the bends of the streets of our native village or town our childhood photos on which the first features of our future adult personality can be seen through amusing faces and disheveled hairstyles The funerals of someone's sons and husbands Those of us who have unexpectedly lost a beloved one or a parent in early childhood can testify to how much it affects our whole life The deaths of a soldier or a civilian are not just numbers in statistical reports; each of those people was someone's closest person Sr. Vasylia Sivch, who was, like me, a Sister of the Order of St. Basil the Great, wrote in her memoirs about the Second World War: "Every war is terrible and the postwar consequences are even more terrible Whoever experienced them experienced hell on earth painful wounds on the body and in the heart and soul irreparable losses of dear people and property These words sound incredibly relevant even today While writing this text, I realized that my previous column for Global Sisters Report was written as early as Feb two days before the start of full-scale war the first refugees arrived in the city in eastern Croatia where I lived I suddenly realized how fragile a human person is and how we do not notice this in our daily life I met a woman with cancer who could not stop chemotherapy; a young girl who needed weekly dialysis; a newborn boy who made his first journey with his mother who had no opportunity to recover after giving birth If you multiply this by the number of 8 million refugees and displaced persons you can roughly imagine the scale of the vulnerability caused by Russia's attack on Ukraine Soon Ukrainian soldiers who needed eye surgery came to Croatia for treatment I looked at the burned face of a man who had lost his sight; his hands he stood against the aggressor's weapon to protect us we are mortal — this is my first lesson this year The first book I was able to read since Feb The most difficult thing for those Ukrainians who lived abroad at the time of the start of a full-scale war was the feeling of helplessness the feeling of guilt due to the inability to protect their relatives who remained in Ukraine A great support for us was the helping hands of foreign friends who collected aid supported and assured us that they believed in the victory of Ukraine The second lesson I learned from this year is that Ukraine found their refuge in Croatia also contributed to this The most memorable for me was the question that constantly sounded from the lips of children and adults: "Do you miss Ukraine Don't you want to return home?" Or as a 4-year-old girl said in her child manner: "Are you Ukrainian or 'Croatinian'?" This was a lesson for me — to allow myself this longing for home Each of us has this yearning for a true "home," for a place where we are accepted The first air raid siren I heard was during the liturgy I listen to Ukrainian music and podcasts of Ukrainian psychologists I read poetry and essays of modern Ukrainian authors Tweet this The third lesson was a spiritual experience I think that this year brought to both believers and nonbelievers the acute questions about God A priest — to whom I confided that since Feb. 24, 2022, I have felt some obstacles in prayer — advised me to pay attention to how God is working in people during this war. In the courage of Ukrainian soldiers, firefighters, doctors who, risking themselves, fight for human lives every day, we can see a sign of Christ's love, "lay down his life for the sake of his friends" (John 15:13) The questions remain, they hurt, and sometimes we try to stop feeling and become petrified. The first book I was able to read after Feb. 24 was a collection of poems by the Ukrainian poet Bohdana Matiyash air raid sirens sound in the entire territory of Ukraine because in Belarus a plane capable of carrying Kinzhal hypervelocity missiles took off millions of children left their classrooms or kindergarten playrooms to go down to the basements of shelters My favorite Ukrainian poet and filmmaker, Iryna Tsilyk I sometimes feel like I carry a big black hole inside me While the war is still going on, it is important to stay alive, not to succumb to the temptation of an easy and false peace, to the soothing whisper that "things are not so clear." To remain human, we need to be open to the pain of others and our own.
