ʻO kahi Eve Hemolele wale nō?

NO KA Ua ala au i kēia kakahiaka, ua kau ʻia kahi ao i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a pīhoihoi hoʻi ma luna o kuʻu ʻuhane. Ua ʻike wau i kahi ʻuhane ikaika o wale a make i ka lewa a puni au. I koʻu holo ʻana i ke kaona, lawe au i kaʻu Rosary i waho, a kāhea aku i ka inoa o Iesū, pule no ka palekana o ke Akua. Lawe ʻia iaʻu ma kahi o ʻekolu mau hola a me ʻehā kīʻaha kope e ʻike hope ai i ka mea aʻu e ʻike nei, a no ke aha: ʻo ia Halloween i keia la.

ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole wau e komo i loko o ka mōʻaukala o kēia "lā hoʻomaha" ʻAmelika ʻē aʻe a i ʻole komo i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa inā e komo i loko a ʻaʻole paha. ʻO ka ʻimi wikiwiki ʻana o kēia mau kumuhana ma ka Pūnaewele e hāʻawi i ka heluhelu ʻana ma waena o nā ghoul e hōʻea ana i kou puka, e hoʻoweliweli nei i nā hana ma kahi o nā mālama.

Akā, makemake wau e nānā i ka mea a Halloween i lilo ai, a pehea ia he lawena, kekahi "hōʻailona o nā manawa."

KA MAKANI ME KA MAKE

ʻO Halloween, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia i ʻOkakopa 31st. Ua loaʻa lilo i ʻāpana o ka moʻomeheu zeitgeist o ko ʻAmelika noho i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO nā vampires, zombies, kilokilo a me nā hana kilokilo i ulana mau ʻia i loko o nā kiʻi, nā mele, nā leʻaleʻa, a me ke aʻo ʻana o kāna kamaʻāina. ʻOi aku ma mua o kēlā, a ʻo ka mea e weliweli loa, ka pā o ke poʻo nui e kū mai ana ka pepehi kanaka lehulehu, nā kī ʻana, nā kī kī, ka cannibalism, ka matricide, ka hoʻomāinoino ʻia, a me nā hewa kolohe ʻē aʻe i lilo i "maʻamau hou." ʻO ia e ʻōlelo, "noho" ʻia ʻo Halloween ma ka moʻomeheu. E like me kā Madonna House foundress Catherine de Hueck Doherty manawa i kākau ai iā Thomas Merton:

No kekahi kumu manaʻo wau luhi ʻoe. ʻIke wau makaʻu wau a luhi hoʻi. No ka mea, ke hele a akāka nei ka helehelena o ke Keiki Aliʻi o ka Pouli iaʻu. Me he mea lā ʻaʻohe mea e manaʻo hou aʻe ana e noho “ʻo ka inoa inoa nui ʻole,” ʻo ka “incognito,” ʻo ka “poʻe āpau.” Me he mea lā ua hele mai ʻo ia i kāna iho a hōʻike iā ia iho i kāna ʻano pōpilikia āpau. No laila he kakaikahi ka mea e manaʻoʻiʻo i kona ola ʻana ʻaʻole pono ʻo ia e hūnā hou iā ia iho. -ʻO ke ahi aloha, nā leka a Thomas Merton lāua ʻo Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Malaki 17th, 1962, Ave Maria Press (2009), p. 60.

ʻOiai, he nui ka poʻe e manaʻoʻiʻo i nā ʻuhane, akā ʻaʻole ka Diabolo, ka mea a Iesū i kapa ai he "pepehi kanaka mai kinohi mai." ^[1]John 8: 44 A ʻo ia ka mea hoʻonāukiuki loa: ʻoiai ke piʻi nei ka hewa kolohe ma ʻAmelika; ^[2]www.usatoday.com ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei kona aupuni e waiho i nā mea kaua i loko o ka lima o nā kauka lāʻau lāʻau a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli ^[3]www.laokaikiki.com; www.kisuonlineia.ca ʻoiai ke hoʻomau mau nei nā makaʻāinana iā lākou iho i nā helu hoʻopaʻa; ^[4]kālā.msn.com ʻoiai ke hoʻomākaukau nei ʻo Homeland Security no ka haunaele home a me ke kānāwai martial… ^[5]www.fbo.gov ke hoʻomau nei ka lehulehu i nā lilo he mau piliona a me miliona mau hola e laka ana i nā pāʻani wikiō ikaika a me ka hana kolohe, nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, a me nā kiʻi kīwī. ʻAʻole ʻike ka poʻe i ka hewa ke ʻike lākou. E like me ʻAmelika e hele nei, no laila ke hele nei ke koena o ka honua. ʻOiai i nā ʻāina kahi e haki ana ka hoʻomana Kakōlika i nā kaola, e like me India a me nā ʻāpana o ʻApelika, hoʻomau ka hoʻomāinoino i nā ʻāpana sekectarian i nā wahi.

ʻO kēia ka hoʻokō o Ka Wanana a Iuda. ^[6]Ka Wanana a Iuday

Hāʻawi ʻia i kahi kūlana koʻikoʻi, pono mākou i kēia manawa ma mua o ka loaʻa o ka ʻaʻa e nānā i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka maka a kāhea i nā mea i ko lākou inoa kūpono, me ka hāʻawi ʻole i nā kuʻikahi kūpono a i ka hoʻowalewale o ka hoʻopunipuni ponoʻī. Ma kēia mea, pololei pololei ka ʻōlelo hōʻino a ka Makaula: "Auwe ka poʻe i kapa aku i ka maikaʻi he maikaʻi a maikaʻi i ka maikaʻi, i waiho i ka pouli no ka mālamalama a me ka mālamalama no ka pouli" (Is 5:20). —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Evangelium Vitae, “Ka Euanelio o ke Ola”, n. 58

ʻO ka desensitization o ʻAmelika, a ʻo ka hopena o ka honua nāna i lawe mai kāna moʻomeheu ma ke ʻano he "hae" o "kūʻokoʻa", he hoʻomākaukau. E like me aʻu i kakau iho i loko o Nā ʻōkuhi i ka makani, Ua hōʻike 'ia kā mākou Lede iʻAfelika, 12 mau makahiki ma mua o ka luku' ia 'ana o Rwandan, e hōʻike aku e hiki mai ana ke kahe koko Ma ke ʻano he hōʻoia i kēlā me kēia mea hoʻomaloka, hoʻomaloka, a me ka hoʻomana ʻole Karistiano, ua hōʻike ʻo ia i nā hiʻohiʻona i kekahi mau keiki i nā mea weliweli e hoʻokokoke ana inā ʻaʻole mihi ka poʻe (a ua hoʻokō ʻia e like me ka mea i wānana ʻia). Eia naʻe, kāna mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, i ʻōlelo ai kā mākou Lede, ʻaʻole ia no ʻApelika wale nō, akā no ka honua holoʻokoʻa:

Wikiwiki ka honua i kona luku, e hāʻule i loko o ka hohonu ... kipi ka honua i ke Akua, hana hewa loa ia, ʻaʻohe ona aloha a me ka maluhia. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e mihi a hoʻohuli ʻole i kou mau puʻuwai, e hāʻule ʻoe i ka hohonu. -www.kibeho.org

NO KA PA ANA MAU

I kēia pule i hala iho nei, ua waiho mau ka Haku i mua o koʻu puʻuwai i ke kiʻi o ka ipuhao a me ka ipu o ka wai baila. E noho ia ma laila no mau minuke, e hōʻike nei ʻaʻole e hana i kahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka leo liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā huʻa liʻiliʻi. A laila hiki wale nō, hoʻomaka ka wai e huʻa a ʻū, a i loko o kekona, ua hiki ka ipuhao holoʻokoʻa i kahi kiko e hoʻolapalapa ai. He ʻōlelo hoʻohālikelike ikaika kēlā o ka mea i hāpai ʻia i mau makahiki ma Rwanda, a laila pohā maoli i ka pō.

ʻO kēlā kiʻi o ka ipuhao he ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo i ke kaiāulu ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomau i ka hulahula ʻana me ka make. Ke piʻi nei ka honua holoʻokoʻa i kahi kiko e hoʻolapalapa ai. ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hemahema o ka meaʻai (ma nā ʻāina ʻekolu o ka honua), hoʻololi ka manawa ʻano ʻē, nā ʻaiʻē pilikino a me nā aie āpau ʻole, nā koina kiʻekiʻe o ka noho ʻana, ka wāwahi ʻana o ka ʻohana, ka haki o ka hilinaʻi ma waena o nā lāhui, a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa o ka mahalo iā ʻoe iho ma o nā kiʻi pono ʻole a me nā kuko paʻa ʻole. ka honua i ka lihi o ka haunaele. ʻO nā masks o Halloween ma kekahi ʻano wehe huna ke kūlana maoli o ko mākou mau ʻuhane, hōʻino ʻia a hōʻino ʻia e ka lawehala.

ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole kēia wale nō kekahi "ʻānela hoʻāno." ʻO ka gore kāohi ʻole ʻia, ka weliweli, a me ka hewa i nā lole i kēia makahiki ^[7]cf. www.hulahop.ca ʻo ia ka "hōʻailona o ka manawa" e like me nā mele kolohe a mākou e hoʻolohe ai, nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli a mākou e nānā ai, a me nā kaua a mākou e hoʻouluulu ai. ^[8]cf. ʻO ka Progresion o Man Akā i loko o kēia mau mea āpau ... i kēia mau mea āpau ... ʻike wau iā Iesū e hele mai ana iā mākou me ka minoʻaka aloha nui loa a ʻiʻini. ʻO ka nui o ka haʻihaʻi o ko mākou honua, ʻo ka nui, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua aloha ʻia ko mākou Haku aloha a me kona aloha a lilo lākou e like me ke ahi huhū, ke ake nei e lilo.

Ke ʻā mai nei nā lapalapa o ke aloha iaʻu — e kahea aku ana e lilo; Makemake wau e ninini mau iā lākou i luna o nā ʻuhane; ʻaʻole makemake nā ʻuhane e manaʻoʻiʻo i kaʻu maikaʻi. —Jesus i St. Faustina, Na ke Akua Manaʻo ma kuʻu ʻuhane, Diary, n. 177

ʻO ka paradox o ke aloha o ke Akua, ʻo kaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kūlana o ka ʻuhane, ʻoi aku ka makemake o ke aloha e hāʻawi i ke aloha iā ia. ^[9]cf. ʻO ke Kuʻuna Nui a me nā pale palekana

E ka ʻuhane i ʻeleʻele i ka pouli, mai ʻauʻa. ʻAʻole nalowale nā ​​mea āpau. E hele mai a hilinaʻi i kou Akua, ʻo ia nō ke aloha a me ke aloha ... Mai makaʻu kekahi ʻuhane e hoʻokokoke iaʻu, ʻoiai he ʻulaʻula kāna mau hewa ... ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻopaʻi aku i ka lawehala nui ke noi ʻo ia i koʻu aloha, akā i ka ʻae, ke hoʻāpono nei au iā ia i loko o kuʻu lokomaikaʻi hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻia. —Jesus i St. Faustina, Na ke Akua Manaʻo ma kuʻu ʻuhane, Diary, n. 1486, 699, 1146

ʻAʻole kēia kahi blog maʻalahi e kākau. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, makemake wau e holo i kahi ala ʻē aʻe, me ka hoʻoleana ʻaʻole e loli ke ola; e nānā au i kaʻu mau keiki e ʻelemakule i ka honua e like me ka nehinei. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe manaʻolana inā he manaʻolana wahaheʻe ia - inā ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike i nā hōʻailona o nā manawa a hoʻolohe lākou. E like me kā St. Paul i kākau ai:

E hoʻāʻo e aʻo i ka mea e leʻaleʻa ai ka Haku. Mai komo i nā hana hua ʻole o ka pouli; e hōʻike iā lākou. (Efe 5: 10-11)

He aha kā mākou e hana ai?

ʻO ka mea mua e akahele loa ʻaʻole e foment a hāneʻe i kahi ʻuhane o ke kaumaha. Ua like ʻo Pope Francis me ke kukui o ka mālamalama i ko mākou manawa. Ma mua o ka hūnā ʻana i ka Vatican, ^[10]… A ʻaʻole hoʻi nā mea i hele ma mua. ua koho ʻo ia e hele wāwae i waena o nā "ʻauhau ʻauhau a me nā wahine hoʻokamakama", e hoʻomanaʻo nei ua aloha ʻia lākou. ʻIke mākou āpau ʻaʻole maikaʻi nā poʻo inoa. ʻO nā ʻatikala e like me kēia e heluhelu ʻia me kahi kaulike, e mālama nei i ka lapalapa o ka manaʻolana.

ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hūnā i ka nui o nā ao hoʻoweliweli e ʻākoakoa nei ma ka pae. ʻAʻole naʻe mākou e lilo i ka puʻuwai, akā pono mākou e mālama i ka lapalapa o ka manaʻolana i loko o ko mākou mau puʻuwai. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Agena Nūhou Katolika, Ianuali 15th, 2009

ʻOiaʻiʻo, makemake ʻia kaʻu blog e hoʻomākaukau iā ʻoe, ʻaʻole no ka ʻAnikona, akā no Iesū Kristo. E loaʻa iā ia i kēia manawa, i kēia manawa. E hoʻomākaukau ai iā ʻoe e komo i ka Triumph o Kona Puʻuwai Hemolele. Akā ʻo ko Iesū lanakila hope loa ʻo ia ke Keʻa - a ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe no ka Ekalesia. E lanakila ʻo ia ma o kāna Passion ponoʻī i hui pū ʻia me kāna.

Ke hiki mai ʻo Autumn, hoʻowalewale ʻia paha mākou e hopohopo i ka hala ʻana o ka nani o ke kauwela i ka palaho o ka hāʻule, ke make nā lau, nalowale nā ​​mea kanu, a hoʻomaha ka ʻāina ma lalo o ke anuanu o ka hoʻoilo. Akā no kēia make loa e hoʻomākaukau nei no kahi wā puna hou. ʻO ia ka mea, nā hōʻailona a puni mākou i kēia moʻomeheu o ka make ʻAʻole ia he hōʻailona o ko Sātana lanakila ʻana, akā no kona lanakila ʻana i kēia manawa a me kona hiki ʻana mai. Ke hōʻike aku nei ke Akua i nā hana o ka palaho a me ka pouli; Ke lawe nei ʻo ia iā lākou i ka mālamalama i mea e holoi ʻia ai mai ka maka o ka honua. No laila e pena i ka wā e hiki mai ana piha o nā pua a me ka hauʻoli wale nō i waho o ka nīnau, mai ka ʻāpana o ka maoli i ka mālamalama o nā ʻEuanelio. Kāhea ʻia mākou e ukali i ko mākou Haku ma o ka make make ʻana o ka mea wahaheʻe, inā ʻaʻole ka hoʻokahe ʻana i ko mākou koko.

Akā ʻo ka heluhelu ʻana i kēia lā, ma ka makaʻala ʻana o All Saint, e hoʻomanaʻo iā mākou he ʻoi aku ke aloha o ke Akua ma mua o ka make, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka palaho e lanakila ana i kā mākou manawa.

Ua maopopo iaʻu ʻaʻole hiki i ka make, a me ke ola, a me nā ʻānela, a me nā aliʻi nui, a me nā mea o kēia wā, a me nā mea e hiki mai ana, a me nā kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka hohonu, a i ʻole nā ​​mea ola ʻē aʻe e hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale iā mākou mai ke aloha o ke Akua iā Kristo. O Iesu ko makou Haku. (Rom 8: 38-39)

Aloha mākou. A no ka mea aloha nui ʻia mākou, hiki iā mākou ke hilinaʻi me ke Akua pū me mākou i nā manawa paʻakikī a paʻakikī hoʻi; e lawe mai kāna lokomaikaʻi iā mākou i kahi hanohano nui aʻe ma mua o kā mākou e noʻonoʻo ai. Pono mākou i ka hilinaʻi e ukali ka hoʻoilo e ka puna, ʻoiai he ʻeleʻele a anuanu hoʻi ke ʻano o ka hoʻokolokolo. I kahi huaʻōlelo, alahouana.

ʻAe, ʻike wau i kēia ma ka ʻaoʻao hoʻi…. aia kekahi ninini ʻana o ka mana a me ka lokomaikaʻi e hiki mai ana i ka hale pule e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka ikaika kupanaha no nā manawa paʻakikī i mua. ʻO kēia ke kumu e hele mai nei ko mākou makuahine i waena o mākou, e hoʻomākaukau iā mākou no ka hiki mai o ka ʻUhane Hemolele. “Mai makaʻu, "I ʻōlelo ʻo ia me ka hauʻoli. “E hele mai ana kahi mea nani no ka hale pule!"

ʻO ka mea hope loa, e like me kaʻu i kākau ai i mau manawa, ʻaʻole mākou e lilo i mea nānā akā he poʻe komo i ka Kōkua nui ke hoʻomaka nei e hoʻolapalapa i ka honua. Kāhea ʻia mākou e hōʻole iā mākou iho, haʻalele i kā mākou waiwai, a nīnau, "He aha i kēia manawa, e Iesū? He aha kou makemake iaʻu ma kēia Hora i ka honua? "

Lohe aku nei au iā ia e ʻōlelo ana,

E lilo ʻoe i kukui noʻu i ka pouli; e lana koʻu manaʻo i ka mea lana o ka manaʻo; e lilo i puʻuhonua no ka poʻe nalo; e kuʻu ipo i ka mea aloha ʻole ʻia.

He mea hiki iā mākou ke hana i kēlā me kēia lā, ma hea mākou e noho ai, no ka mea, puni mākou ka pouli, manaʻolana ʻole, hopohopo a me ke anuanu i loko o kā mākou honua haki. 

ʻIke maopopo wau ʻo ka mea e pono ai ka hale pule i kēia lā ʻo ka hiki ke hoʻōla i nā ʻeha a mehana i nā puʻuwai o ka poʻe ʻoiaʻiʻo; pono kokoke, kokoke. ʻIke wau i ka hale pule ma ke ʻano he haukapila kahua ma hope o ke kaua. —POPE FRANCIS, ninaninau, www.americamagazine.org, Sepatemaba 30th, 2013

Eia kekahi, ma o ka pule a me ka hoʻokē ʻai, e like me ka noi a kā mākou Lede, hiki iā mākou ke wāwahi i nā wahi paʻa o Sātana, e wāwahi ana i nā masks e hoʻowalewale i ka maka o ke kanaka, a kōkua i ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi o ka maka o Iesū i kekahi. No laila, mai hāʻawi pio. ʻO ka pōʻeleʻele o ia, ʻo ka mālamalama ʻo ʻoe a me wau e lilo imakemake lilo, inā hāʻawi mākou iā mākou iho iā Iesū.

… Kīnā ʻole a hala ʻole hoʻi, e nā keiki a ke Akua kīnā ʻole i waena o ka hanauna kekeʻe a kekeʻe, i waena o lākou e hoʻomālamalama nei e like me nā kukui i ka honua. (Pil 2:15)

ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole kēia wale nō kahi Halloween ʻē aʻe ... akā hiki i kahi Eve Hemolele ʻē aʻe ma ke pale ʻana i nā mana o ka pouli me ke aloha a me ka mālam o Iesū ma o kou minoʻaka ʻana, kou ʻoluʻolu, kou hiʻohiʻona o ke alo o Kristo .... ʻaʻole he pale maka, akā he aniani.
