HE HELUHELU mai ka Divine Liturgy i hala aku nei i kēia pule:
Ua kali ahonui ke Akua i nā lā o Noa i ka wā o ka hana ʻana o ka hale lana. (1 Petero 3:20)
ʻO ke ʻano ʻo mākou i kēlā manawa ke hoʻopau ʻia ka pahu, a koke. He aha ka pahu? I koʻu nīnau ʻana i kēia nīnau, ua nānā au i ke kiʻiona o Maria ……… me he mea lā ʻo ka pahu ka pahu, a ke ʻohi nei ʻo ia i kahi koena nona iho, no Kristo.
A ʻo Iesū ka mea nāna i ʻōlelo e hoʻi ʻo ia "e like me nā lā o Noa" a "e like me nā lā o Lota" (Luka 17:26, 28). Ke nānā nei kēlā me kēia kanaka i ke anilā, nā ōlaʻi, nā kaua, nā ʻino, a me nā hana ʻino; akā ke poina nei iā mākou e pili ana i nā hōʻailona "morale" o nā manawa a Kristo e kuhikuhi nei? ʻO ka heluhelu ʻana i ko Noa hanauna a me ko Lota hanauna – a me nā mea a lākou i lawehala ai.
Kūleʻa kekahi mau kāne i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā ʻo ka hapanui o lākou e hāpai iā lākou iho a wikiwiki e like me ka mea i hana ʻole ʻia. -Winston Churchill
