KALIKIMAKA ua hala? E noʻonoʻo ʻoe e nā kūlana o ka honua. Ua pani ka "kanahā kiʻekiʻe" i nā mele Kalikimaka; ua pani nā hōʻailona kūʻai i nā mea hoʻonaninani; ua pio ke kukui a kua ʻia nā lāʻau Kalikimaka i ke kaʻe. Akā no mākou he mau Kalikiano Kakolika, aia nō mākou i waena o ka maka nānā i ka Logou i lilo i kino - ua lilo ke Akua i kanaka. A i ʻole ma ka liʻiliʻi, pono pēlā. Ke kakali nei mākou i ka hōʻike ʻia ʻana o Iesū i ko nā ʻāina ʻē, i kēlā mau Magi i huakaʻi mai kahi mamao aku e ʻike i ka Mesia, ka mea nāna e "hānai" i ko ke Akua poʻe kānaka. ʻO kēia "epiphany" (i hoʻomanaʻo ʻia i kēia Lāpule) ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ka piko o Kalikimaka, no ka mea e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole ʻo Iesu "kūpono" hou no nā Iudaio, akā no kēlā me kēia kāne, wahine a me nā keiki e ʻauana i ka pouli.
A eia ka mea: ʻo ka poʻe Magi he poʻe astrologers, nā kāne i ʻimi i ka ʻike esoteric i nā hōkū. ʻOiai ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike me kēia nui ka mea 
e ʻimi ana lākou—ʻo ia hoʻi, ko lākou Hoʻōla—a ʻo kā lākou mau hana he hui pū ʻana o ke akamai kanaka a me ke Akua, e loaʻa naʻe iā lākou. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia lākou e ka hana a ke Akua, e nā hōʻailona na ke Akua ponoi i kakau ma ke ao holookoa e hai aku i kana manao Akua.
ʻIke au iā ia, ʻaʻole naʻe i kēia manawa; Nānā aku au iā ia, ʻaʻole naʻe kokoke: E piʻi aʻe ka hōkū mai ka Iakoba mai, A e kū mai ke koʻokoʻo aliʻi mai ka ʻIseraʻela mai. (Num 24:17)
Loaʻa iaʻu ka manaʻolana nui i kēia. Me he mea lā ke ʻōlelo mai nei ke Akua ma o ka poʻe Magi,
ʻAʻole paha i hemolele kou ʻike, ʻike, a me kou hoʻomana i kēia manawa; e ino paha kou hala a me keia manawa i ka hewa; Ua uhi ʻia kou wā e hiki mai ana e ka maopopo ʻole… akā ʻike wau makemake ʻoe e ʻike iaʻu. A no laila, Eia wau. E hele mai oukou a pau i o'u nei e imi ana i ke ano, e imi ana i ka oiaio, e imi ana i kahuhipa e alakai ia oukou. E hele mai oukou a pau i o'u nei, e ka poe hele luhi i keia ola ana, a na'u oukou e hoomaha aku. E hele mai ʻoukou a pau i pau ka manaʻolana, ka poʻe i haʻalele a nawaliwali, a e ʻike ʻoukou iaʻu e kali ana iā ʻoukou me ka maka aloha. No ka mea, ʻo wau nō ʻo Iesū, kou Hoʻōla, ka mea i hele mai e ʻike iā ʻoe ...
ʻAʻole ʻo Iesū i hōʻike iā ia iho i ka hemolele. Pono ʻo Iosepa i ke alakaʻi mau ʻana ma o nā moeʻuhane ʻānela; ʻO nā kahu hipa me ko lākou ʻaʻahu hana pilau, ʻākoakoa lākou a puni ka hānai holoholona; a o ka poe Magi, he poe pegana. A laila aia ʻoe a me aʻu. Malia paha ua hele mai ʻoe i kēia Kalikimaka me ka hoʻopilikia ʻia e nā meaʻai āpau, nā hui, nā pō pō, nā kūʻai ʻana o ka wiki Boxing, nā leʻaleʻa, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe a manaʻo ʻoe ua "nalo" ʻoe i ke kumu o ia mau mea a pau. Inā pēlā, e hoʻomanaʻo iā ʻoe iho i kēia lā me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo hauʻoli ʻaʻole ʻo Iesū i hele pio i ʻAigupita. ʻAʻole, ke kali nei ʻo ia e hōʻike iā ia iho iā ʻoe i kēia lā. Ke waiho nei ʻo ia iā ʻoe i nā "hōʻailona" pū kekahi (e like me kēia palapala) e kuhikuhi ana i kona wahi. ʻO kou makemake wale nō, ʻo kou makemake e ʻimi iā Iesu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke pule i kekahi mea penei:
E ka Haku, e like me ka poʻe Magi, ua lōʻihi wau i ka hele ʻana i ka honua, akā makemake wau e ʻike iā ʻoe. E like me na kahuhipa, ke hele mai nei au me na huna o ko'u hewa; e like me Iosepa, hele mai au me ka makau a me ke kanalua; e like me ka hale hookipa, aole no hoi au i haawi aku i wahi nou iloko o ko'u naau e like me ka'u e pono ai. Ke hele mai nei nae au, no ka mea, e kali mai oe e Iesu ia'u, e like me au. No laila, ke hele mai nei au e kala mai a e hoʻomana iā ʻoe. Ke hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia oe i ke gula, ka libano, a me ka mura: oia hoi, ka manaoio uuku, ke aloha, a me na mohai ia'u... e haawi hou aku ia oe i ko'u ano a pau. E Iesu, e nana mai i ko'u ilihune o ka uhane, a lawe oe i ko'u mau lima ilihune, e lawe ia'u iloko o kou naau.
Ke hoʻohiki nei au, inā ʻoe e hele e like me ka Magi i kēia lā me ia ʻO ke ʻano o ka naʻau a me ka haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole wale ʻo Iesū e ʻae iā ʻoe, akā e hoʻonani ʻo ia iā ʻoe i keiki kāne a kaikamahine.[1]"He naau mihi, haahaa, e ke Akua, aole oe e hoowahawaha." ( Halelu 51:19 ) No keia i hele mai ai. No kēia, ke kali nei ʻo ia i kou kipa ʻana i kēia lā… no ka mea ʻaʻole i pau ka Kalikimaka.
ʻO ka makemake i ke Akua e uhaʻi i kā mākou mau hana luhi a koi iā mākou e hana i nā loli a mākou e makemake ai a pono ai. —POPE FRANCIS, Homily no ka Ahaaina Epifania, Ianuari 6, 2016; ʻO Zenit.org
KA HOʻOPIʻI MAKAHI
E kākoʻo ʻoe i kaʻu hana i kēia makahiki?
E hoʻomaikaʻi iā ʻoe a mahalo.
E huakaʻi me Mark i ka ka ʻ Wordlelo,
kaomi ma ka hae ma lalo i kakau.
ʻAʻole e māhele ʻia kāu leka uila me kekahi.
