"At the Foot of the Cross: Lessons from Ukraine" is a powerful and poignant book that tells the story of Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the leader of the Eastern Catholic Church in Ukraine. Born in the western Ukrainian city of Stryi in 1970, Sviatoslav grew up in a time when his Church was illegal, and his family had to practice their faith in secret. Despite these challenges, he was deeply influenced by the stories of his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents who had to navigate the tumultuous political landscape of Eastern Europe. As a young man, Sviatoslav studied for the priesthood in an underground seminary, where he learned from the courageous example of priests and bishops who were imprisoned for their faith, including some who gave their lives as martyrs to their devotion to Christ and his Church. Through his own experiences and those of his fellow Ukrainians, Sviatoslav shares profound lessons about faith, perseverance, and the power of the Cross. This book is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith in times of turmoil.
