Ua paʻi mua ʻia ma Pepeluali 11th, 2008:
Makemake wau e kaʻana aku iā ʻoe i kahi ʻāpana o kahi leka i loaʻa iaʻu:
Ua luku ʻia wau no nā nāwaliwali hou… Ke holo nei nā mea āpau a hauʻoli wau me ka hauʻoli i koʻu puʻuwai no ka Lent. A laila i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Lent, ua manaʻo wau he kūpono ʻole a kūpono ʻole wau e pili i kekahi pilina me Kristo. Ua hina wau i loko o ka hewa a laila kau ʻia ka inaina iaʻu iho. Ke manaʻo nei wau ʻaʻole wau e hana iki i kekahi mea no ka Lent no ka mea he hoʻokamani wau. Ua hele wau i luna i kā mākou ala kaʻa a ke manaʻo nei i kēia nele ...
No ke aha ʻoe e kahaha ai i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻia ʻana me ka hoʻowalewale i kēia ala? Ua ʻōlelo ʻo St. Paul inā makemake ʻoe e hele ma hope o Karistiano haipule, e hoʻomaʻau ʻia ʻoe (2 Tim 3:12). A ʻo wai ka mea e hoʻomaʻau mai iā mākou ma mua o ka diabolō iho? A pehea ʻo ia e hoʻomaʻau mai ai iā mākou? Me ka hoʻowalewale, a laila me ka hoʻopiʻi.
ʻIke ʻo ia i kou hauʻoli, a inaina iā ia. ʻIke ʻo ia i kou ulu ʻana i loko o Kristo, a makaʻu iā ia. ʻIke ʻo ia he keiki ʻoe na ke Akua, a hoʻowahāwahā iā ia. A makemake ka diabolō e kāohi iā ʻoe mai ka hele i kahi mamao loa, e hoʻokau iā ʻoe. A pehea ʻo ia e hana ai i kēia? Ma o ka hoʻoluhi a me ka hewa.
E kuʻu hoa aloha, mai makaʻu iā Iesū inā hewa ʻoe. ʻAʻole anei ʻo ia make nāu? Ua hana mua ʻo ia i nā mea āpau nāu a mākaukau e hana hou aku. ʻO ke aloha kēia — he aloha e ola ʻole pio ʻole ana ma luna ou. Akā inā ʻoe e hāʻawi i kēlā manawa, a laila wale nō, e makaʻu nui ʻoe. Hāʻawi ʻo Iuda. ʻAʻole pēlā ʻo Petero. Ua kaʻawale paha ʻo Iudea mai ko kākou Haku aku; Ke noho aliʻi nei ʻo Petero me Kristo ma ka lani. Kumakaia. Ua hāʻule nā mea ʻelua. Akā ua hoʻokau loa ka hope iā ia iho i ke aloha o ke Akua. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hāʻawi pio.
Ma ke aloha o ke Akua, ʻo ia.
Hilinaʻi i Kona Aloha!
ʻAʻole kou hewa ka mea e hina ai ke Akua. He mea e hina ai ʻoe, ʻaʻole na ke Akua. Hiki iā ia ke hemo iā ia i ka manawa koke inā ʻoe e kāhea pono i kona inoa:
E Iesu Kristo, ke Keiki a ke Akua ola, e aloha mai iaʻu!
Maopopo iā ʻoe pehea e lanakila ai iā Sātana i kēia kaua? Inā manaʻo ʻoe hiki iā ʻoe ke outwit iā ia, ua eo ʻoe. Inā manaʻo ʻoe hiki iā ʻoe ke outsmart iā ia, a laila ua hoʻopunipuni ʻia ʻoe. Inā manaʻo ʻoe hiki iā ʻoe ke outpower iā ia me kou makemake, a laila ua haki mua ʻoe. ʻO ke ala wale nō e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke lanakila iā ia, ʻo ke kau ʻana i kahi mea kaua i loaʻa ʻole iā ia: haʻahaʻa. Ke lawehala ʻoe, pono ʻoe e moe palahalaha i ka honua i mua o ke Akua a hōʻike i kou puʻuwai iā Iesū e ʻōlelo ana, "E ʻike i ka Haku, he lawehala wau. E nānā, ua hāʻule hou hou wau. ʻO wau nō ka nāwaliwali i kino. ʻO wau ka mea liʻiliʻi loa kou aupuni. "
A e ʻōlelo aku ʻo Iesū iā ʻoe, "
No ka lawehala e like me ʻoe, ua make au. Ua heleleʻi ʻoe i loko o ka hohonu a pēlā wau i iho ai i ka poʻe make e loaʻa iā ʻoe. He kino nawaliwali kou, a no laila ua kino au i kou nāwaliwali kanaka ... ua ʻike wau i ka ʻole a me ka luhi a me ke kaumaha a me nā ʻano kaumaha āpau. ʻO ʻoe ka mea liʻiliʻi loa i koʻu Aupuni no ka mea ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻoe iā ʻoe iho; akā ʻo ka mea liʻiliʻi loa i koʻu Aupuni ka mea nui loa. E ala aʻe, e kuʻu keiki, a aloha wau iā ʻoe! E kū aʻe ʻoe e kuʻu keiki, no ka mea, he ʻaʻahu hou ka Makua e ʻaʻahu iā ʻoe, he apo no kou manamana lima, a me nā kāmaʻa wāwae no kou mau wāwae luhi. E hele mai e kuʻu ipo! No ka mea, ʻo ʻoe nā hua o koʻu Keʻa!
KA PUUWAI PILIKIA
ʻO Lent ka manawa e komo ai i ka wao nahele—ka waoakua hoʻowalewale. Mai kāhāhā e hōʻeha ʻia ʻoe e ka makani wela o ka moekolohe, ka make wai o kāu mau makemake, a me ke one ʻeha o kou ʻilihune ʻuhane. ʻAʻole hoʻomaʻemaʻe ke gula i ka wai anuanu, akā i ke ahi. A ʻo ʻoe, e ka hoa, he gula maikaʻi ʻoe i ka maka o ka Makua.
Akā ʻaʻole ʻoe hoʻokahi. I ka wao nahele e ʻike ai ʻoe iā Iesū iho. Ma laila ʻo ia i hoʻowalewale ʻia ai. A ʻānō ʻoe, e hoʻowalewale ʻia hoʻi kona kino. Akā ʻaʻole ʻoe he kino poʻo ʻole. ʻO ʻoe ʻo Kristo, ka mea i hoʻowalewale ʻia i nā ʻano āpau, i kōkua kōkua naʻu - keu hoʻi ke hāʻule ʻoe. Manaʻo mākou ma muli o kona lawehala ʻole e hele ʻo ia me ka hoʻowahāwahā ke hāʻule mākou i loko o ka pahele o ke kuko, ka huhū, a me ka makee. Akā ʻo ia nō pololei no ka mea, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia i ko mākou nāwaliwali kanaka i aloha nui mai ʻo ia iā mākou ke ʻike ʻo ia iā mākou e pīpī ana i ke one wikiwiki o ka lawehala. Hiki iā ia, no ka mea, ʻo ia ke Akua.

Ke hele mai nei kēia hoʻowalewale iā ʻoe i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole ma ke ʻano he hoʻopaʻi, akā ma ke ʻano he mea e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ai iā ʻoe. He makana ia e hoʻāno ai iā ʻoe. E hana hou iā ʻoe e like me ia. E hoʻohauʻoli ai iā ʻoe! No ka nui o kou hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana iā ʻoe iho i ka ipu hao o ka hoʻāʻo, ʻo ka nui o ke ola ʻana o Kristo i loko ou - ʻo ka nui o ke ola a me ka hauʻoli a me ka maluhia e noho ana i loko ou. E pono wau e emi ... pono ʻo ia e māhuahua no laila ʻaʻole ʻo wau ka mea e ola ana, akā, ʻo Kristo e ola ana i loko oʻu.

ʻO kēlā me kēia kanaka, ʻaʻohe mea e "enemi i ka hewa, i hei ʻia e nā ʻoliʻoli o ka leʻaleʻa, kahi pio i ka lawe pio ʻana ... hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka lepo ... hoʻonāukiuki ʻia e ka hana, ʻeha ʻia me ke kaumaha ... a helu pū ʻia me ka poʻe e iho i lalo i gehena - kēlā me kēia ʻuhane, ʻōlelo wau , ke kū nei ma lalo o ka hoʻohewa a me ka ʻole o ka manaʻolana, ka mana e huli a loaʻa ka mea hiki ʻole ke hanu i ka ea hou o ka manaʻolana o ke kala a me ke aloha, akā e ʻaʻa hoʻi e ʻimi i nā nuptial o ka Logou.
