ʻO St. Iosepa me Keiki Karistiano, Michael D. O'Brien
KAHI ʻO ka Kalikimaka kekahi manawa a mākou e hāʻawi ai i nā makana i kekahi i kekahi ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona o ka hāʻawi mau ʻana o ke Akua, makemake wau e kaʻana aku iā ʻoe i kahi leka i loaʻa iaʻu i nehinei. E like me kaʻu i kākau ai i loko nei ʻO Bipi a me ʻAsopa, Makemake ke Akua iā mākou e hoʻokuʻu o ko mākou haʻaheo e paʻa ana i nā lawehala a me nā lawehala kahiko.
Eia kahi ʻōlelo mana i loaʻa i kahi kaikunāne e wehewehe ana i ka lokomaikaʻi o ka Haku ma kēia mea:
E HELE MAI MA KE ALOHA ANA A HALE ANA I KOU MAU HANA
Aia kekahi manawa no ka mihi, a he manawa hoʻi e hele ai i mua o ke alo o ke Akua me ka wiwo ʻole. ʻAʻole ʻoe i hāʻawi ʻia i ka ʻuhane makaʻu akā he ʻuhane wiwo ʻole e haʻi aku i koʻu inoa i ka lehulehu.
He kauā waiwai ʻole ʻoe i kou kau ʻana i loko o kou waiwai ʻole. Maikaʻi a laʻa hoʻi e ʻike ai naʻu nā mea maikaʻi āpau. Maikaʻi a laʻa hoʻi e ʻike ai me ka ʻole o kuʻu lokomaikaʻi a me koʻu lokomaikaʻi he ember ʻoe mai ke ahi mai, kahi kukui uila maikaʻi e pio koke a puhi ʻia e ka makani. E ʻapo ʻoe i ka Mālamana aʻu i hoʻokomo ai iā ʻoe; a ʻoiai ka makani e lawe iā ʻoe mai ka Hikina a i ke Komohana, ʻo ka ʻōlinolino o kuʻu aloha e noho mau i loko ou e ʻike ai ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
E ʻike i kāu lawehala a pule iaʻu no ka ikaika e lanakila ai i ka nāwaliwali o kou lāhui kanaka.
A HANA IA!
ʻAʻole pono ka nānā i kāu ʻano lawehala akā ma kuʻu aloha a me ke ʻano kala. He waiwai ʻoe no ke Aupuni o ka Lani. Mai ʻae i ka ʻino, ka mea wahaheʻe, e ʻōlelo iā ʻoe ua pōʻino ʻoe a hemolele ʻole. Heʻoiaʻiʻo kēia mau mea ke hele koʻu poʻe me ka ʻole o wau. Akā ke lohe wau i kā lākou "ʻae" a hele mai e pāʻina pū me lākou, ʻaʻole lākou e hīmeni hou i kā lākou mele ponoʻī akā hui pū me nā hui mele a nā ʻānela ma ka Lani me ke kōkua o Kuʻu ʻUhane Hemolele.
E hōʻoia i kāu mau hewa, i loko e kala i kaʻu kala ʻana; ʻike i ka mana āu e hāpai ai ke hele pū ʻoe me aʻu a ʻimi i kou mau hoahānau a nalowale. E hoʻolohe i kaʻu aʻo. E kōkua ʻoe. Nui kā mākou hana e hana ai e hoʻomākaukau i ke kanaka.
Koʻu ikaika a me kaʻu mau hoʻomaikaʻi ma luna o kaʻu mau koa āpau,
o Iesu
