Alanui i St. Pietro "St. Peters Basilica", Roma, Italy
ʻO WAU aku i Roma. I kekahi mau lā wale nō, e loaʻa wau ka hanohano o ke mele ʻana i mua o kekahi o nā hoa aloha o Pope John Paul II ... inā ʻaʻole ʻo Pope Benedict iho. Eia naʻe, manaʻo wau he kumu hohonu loa kēia huakaʻi, kahi misiona hoʻonui ʻia ...
E noʻonoʻo ana wau e pili ana i nā mea āpau i kākau ʻia ma aneʻi i ka makahiki i hala ... Nā Petalā, ʻO nā pū o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, ke kono i ka poe i ka hewa make, ka paipai aku iā lanakila i ka makaʻu i kēia mau manawa, a ʻo ka mea hope loa, ke kāhea i "ka pōhaku" a me ka puʻuhonua o Petero i ka ʻino e hiki mai ana.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua ala mai iaʻu ma nehinei ua alakaʻi ʻia wau e kākau e pili ana iā Peter a me ka Ekalesia i ka pule i hala, ma mua pono o ka hele ʻana ike "Peter" i ka puʻuwai o ka Ekalesia!
Noho mākou i nā manawa kupaianaha-nā manawa aʻu e manaʻo ai e loli ana i nā ala kolohe i ka wā e hiki mai ana. I ka nānā ʻana, ʻo ka mea i kākau ʻia a like paha me ka hopena, e holo wikiwiki ana i kahi manawa mōʻaukala. Me he mea lā manawa mea he paukū nui, a kokoke e Snap—A piʻi koke nā pule, heleleʻi ʻo Mercy, a wehe ke kaula uila ... no kekahi manawa lōʻihi, ma ka liʻiliʻi.
I kēia pō, mahalo nui wau iā ʻoukou a pau i kākau me ka paipai ʻana, ka hōʻoia ʻana, ka ʻike, a me nā pule. ʻIke e lawe wau iā ʻoe, e ka poʻe heluhelu, i koʻu puʻuwai i Roma. Hele pū mākou i kahi huakaʻi, a ʻike wau i kaʻu kumu no kēia huakaʻi e hoʻopili iā ʻoe. (Inā e hina wau ma luna o kahi kamepiula ma kahi o nā catacombs, maopopo nō iaʻu he wahi paha a ʻelua paha kaʻu e kākau ai iā ʻoe i loko o kēia mau pule ʻelua.)
E ʻoluʻolu e pule naʻu ... ma ke ala i Roma.
