KA LOA o kou puʻuwai me he ipu aniani lā. ʻO kou puʻuwai i i loko o ka wai maʻemaʻe o ke aloha, o ke Akua, ʻo ia ke aloha. Akā i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, nui ka poʻe o mākou e hoʻopihapiha i ko mākou puʻuwai me ke aloha o nā mea - inaminate i nā mea anuanu e like me ka pōhaku. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke hana i kekahi mea no ko mākou naʻau koe wale nō e hoʻopiha i kēlā mau wahi i mālama ʻia no ke Akua. A pēlā, he pōʻino loa ka hapa nui o mākou Karistiano ... kau ʻia i ka hōʻaiʻē, ka hakakā kūloko, kaumaha ... ʻaʻole iki a mākou mea e hāʻawi ai no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou e loaʻa hou ana.

Nui ka poʻe o mākou i nā puʻuwai anu anuanu no ka mea ua hoʻopiha mākou iā lākou i ke aloha o nā mea honua. A i ka wā e hālāwai ai ka honua iā mākou, ke ake nei (inā paha ʻaʻole paha lākou e ʻike) no ka "wai ola" o ka ʻUhane, ma kahi o, ke ninini nei mākou ma luna o ko lākou poʻo i nā pōhaku anuanu o ko mākou kuko, a me ka manaʻo pilikino, a me ka manaʻo pilikino pilikino i hui pū ʻia me kahi tad o ka hoʻomana wai. Lohe lākou i kā mākou hoʻopaʻapaʻa, akā e nānā i ko mākou hoʻokamani; mahalo lākou i kā mākou noʻonoʻo ʻana, akā ʻaʻole ʻike i kā mākou "kumu no ka noho ʻana", ʻo ia ʻo Iesū. ʻO kēia ke kumu a ka Makua Hemolele i kāhea mai ai iā mākou he mau Kalikiano, e haʻalele hou i ka honua, ʻo ia hoʻi ...

… Ka maʻi lēpera, ka maʻi ʻaʻai o ke kaiāulu a me ka maʻi ʻaʻai o ka hōʻike a ke Akua a me ka ʻenemi o Iesū. —POPE FRANCIS, Radio Vatican, 'Okakopa 4th, 2013
