This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

AS Ua hele wāwae wau i ke alaloa i Communion i kēia kakahiaka, ua like wau me he mea lā ʻo ke keʻa aʻu e hāpai nei ka mea i hana ʻia i ka lāʻau.
I koʻu hoʻomau ʻana i hope i ka puʻu, ua huki ʻia koʻu maka i kahi kiʻiona o ke kanaka lolo i hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia i kāna kīʻaha iā Iesū. ʻIke koke wau i kēlā ʻO wau ke kanaka lolo.
ʻO nā kāne nāna i hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka maʻi lōlō ma ke kaupaku i mua o Kristo i hana pēlā ma o ka hana nui, ka manaʻoʻiʻo, a me ka hoʻomanawanui. Akā ʻo ka mea maʻi palū wale nō ka mea i hana ʻole i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka nānā wale ʻana iā Iesū me ke kōkua ʻole a me ka lana o ka manaʻo a ka Keristiano i ʻōlelo ai.

Ke holo nei nā mea i hiki ʻole ke wehe.
Ua kū wau i kaʻu mau ala e hoʻolohe ai, e ʻā ana kuʻu ʻuhane i loko oʻu.

A laila piʻi aʻe kahi hobbit i ka hale kiaʻi e hoʻomālamalama i ke ahi kūkā — ka hōʻailona e makaʻala i nā poʻe o ka honua waena e hoʻomākaukau no ke kaua.
Ua hoʻouna mai ke Akua iā mākou i "nā hana hoʻokipa" - nā kamaliʻi liʻiliʻi a kona makuahine i hele mai ai a kauoha iā lākou e puhi i ke ahi o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, i ʻlamalama ka mālamalama i ka pouli ... Lourdes, Fatima, a i hala iho nei, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Medjugorje (ka ke kali nei no ka ʻae ʻia o ka ʻāpono o ka Ekalesia).
Akā hoʻokahi "hobbit" kahi keiki i ka ʻuhane wale nō, a ua hoʻomālamalama kona ola a me kāna mau huaʻōlelo i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, a hiki i nā aka pouli:
Ke kū nei mākou i mua o ke alo o ka hakakā nui loa o ka mōʻaukala kanaka i hala. ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo e ʻike maopopo i nā pōʻai ākea o ka hui ʻAmelika a i ʻole nā pōʻai ākea o ke kaiāulu Karistiano. Ke kū nei mākou i kēia manawa ka hakakā hope loa ma waena o ka Ekalesia a me ka anti-Church, o ka ʻeuanelio a me ka anti-Euanelio. Aia kēia hakakā i loko o nā hoʻolālā o ka mālama akua. He ho'āʻo ia a ka Ekalesia holoʻokoʻa. . . pono e hāpai. —Kardinal Karol Wotyla i lilo i Pope John Paul II i ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope; paʻi hou ʻia ʻo Nowemapa 9, 1978, puka o Ka Wall Street Pai
HE NUI ke kū nei ka hana ma ka honua i kēia lā. Pono nā poʻe e koho i nā ʻaoʻao. He mahele nui ia o pono a nohona waiwai, o euanelio nā loina vs. kēia manaʻo manaʻo.
A ʻo ia nō kā Keristiano i ʻōlelo ai e hiki mai ana i nā ʻohana a me nā lāhui ke kūʻē aku iā ia.
Manaʻo ʻoe ua hele mai wau e hoʻokūpaʻa i ka maluhia ma ka honua? ʻAʻole, ke haʻi aku nei au iā ʻoe, akā i ka hoʻokaʻawale. Mai kēia manawa e mahele ʻia kahi ʻohana o ʻelima, ʻekolu kūʻē i ʻelua a ʻelua kūʻē i ʻekolu ... (Luka 12: 51-52)
I manaʻo e like me ka helu o kēlā me kēia hola i kēia manawa. Kāhea ʻia wau i kahi hoʻohuli kolohe. He mea pohihihi ia, akā ʻoliʻoli loa naʻe. Ke hoʻomākaukau nei ʻo Kristo iā mākou no kekahi mea ... i kekahi mea nui loa.
Yes, repentance is more than penitence. It is not remorse. It is not just admitting our mistakes. It is not self-condemnation: "What a fool I've been!" Who of us has not recited such a dismal litany? No, repentance is a moral and spiritual revolution. To repent is one of the hardest things in the world, yet it is basic to all spiritual progress. It demands the breaking down of pride, self-assurance, and the innermost citadel of self-will.(Katherine de Hueck Doherty, Honi o Kristo)
MAHOPE iho o ʻO ka haʻi ʻana i kēia lā, ua kupu ka manaʻo o ke kahua kaua.
Hoʻokuʻu ka ʻenemi i nā missile a me nā pōkā iā mākou, e hoʻopahu mai iā mākou me nā hoʻopunipuni, nā hoʻowalewale, a me nā hoʻopiʻi. ʻIke pinepine mākou iā mākou iho i hōʻeha, kahe ʻana o ke koko, a me nā kīnā, cowering i loko o nā ʻauwaha.

THE huaʻōlelo o ʻO St. Elizabeth Anne Seton e hoʻomau i ke kani i koʻu poʻo:
Be above the vain fears of nature and efforts of your enemy. You are children of eternity. Your immortal crown awaits you, and the best of Fathers waits there to reward your duty and love. You may indeed sow here in tears, but you may be sure there to reap in joy.(Mai kahi ʻaha kūkā i kāna mau kaikamahine ʻuhane)
HOOLAHA…
Ua like ko mākou ola me ka hōkū pana. ʻO ka nīnau – ka nīnau ʻuhane – aia i ke kaona hea e komo ai kēia hōkū.
Inā pau mākou i nā mea o ka honua: kālā, palekana, mana, waiwai, meaʻai, moekolohe, kiʻi ponokala ... a laila like mākou me kēlā meteor e ʻā ana i ka lewa honua. Inā pau mākou i ke Akua, a laila like mākou i ka meteor i kuhikuhi ʻia i ka lā.
A eia ka ʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka meteor mua, pau i ka hoʻowalewale ʻia e ka hoʻowalewale o ka honua, a laila lilo a lilo i mea ʻole. ʻO ka meteor ʻelua, ʻoiai e hoʻopau ʻia me Iesū ke Keiki, ʻaʻole wāwahi. Akā, hū i loko o ka lapalapa, e hoʻoheheʻe a lilo i hoʻokahi me ke Keiki.
Make ka mea mua, lilo i anu, ʻeleʻele, a me ke ola ʻole. Noho ka hope, lilo i mahanahana, māmā, a me ke ahi. ʻIke ʻia ka mea mua i mua o nā maka o ka honua (no kahi manawa)… a hiki i ka lilo ʻana i lepo, e nalowale ana i ka pouli. Hūnā a ʻike ʻole ʻia ka hope, a hiki i ka ʻā ʻana o nā kukuna o ke Keiki, i kiʻi mau ʻia i kona mālamalama a me kona aloha.
