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."

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

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:

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
