I makemake e kāhea iā Lent ke "wā o ka hauʻoli." ʻIke paha he mea ʻē aʻe ke kahakaha ʻana i kēia mau lā me ka lehu, ka hoʻokē ʻai ʻana, ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ke aloha kaumaha o Iesū, a ʻo kā mākou mōhai ponoʻī a me nā penikala ... Akā ʻo ia ke kumu e hiki ai i ka Lent ke lilo i wā hauʻoli no kēlā me kēia Kristiano— a ʻaʻole wale ma "ka Easter." ʻO ke kumu o kēia: ʻo ka nui o ka ninini ʻana i ko mākou naʻau o "iho" a me kēlā mau akua kiʻi a mākou i kūkulu ai (kahi a mākou e manaʻo ai e lawe mai i ka hauʻoli) ... ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lumi no ke Akua. A ke ola nei ke Akua i loko oʻu, ʻoi aku ka nui o koʻu ola ... ʻoi aku koʻu ʻano e like me ia, ʻo ia nō ka ʻoliʻoli a me ke aloha iā ia iho.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ola ʻo St. Paul i kahi Kēlā Kēlā mau — ʻaʻole no ka mea he masochist ʻo ia - akā no ka mea ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i nā mea āpau āpau a ka honua e hāʻawi ai i kekahi mea hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka ʻike ʻana iā Iesū.
ʻO kaʻu mau loaʻa loaʻa, ua manaʻo wau i kēia he pohō no Kristo. Ma mua o kēlā, noʻonoʻo wau i nā mea āpau i mea pohō no ka maikaʻi loa o ka ʻike ʻana iā Kristo Iesū koʻu Haku. No ia mau mea ua ʻae au i ka nalo ʻana o nā mea āpau a manaʻo wau i nā ʻōpala i nui loa, i loaʻa ai iaʻu ʻo Kristo a loaʻa iaʻu i loko ona. (Pil 3: 7-8)
Eia ke ala huna ʻole a St. Paul i ka hauʻoli maoli.
… E ʻike iā ia a me ka mana o kona alahou ʻana a me ka kaʻana like ʻana i kāna mau ʻeha ma ke hoohalikeia me kona make. (v. 10)
Pupule ke Kalikiano. Akā ʻo kēia ke akamai o ke Keʻa a ka honua e hōʻole ai. I ka make ʻana iaʻu iho, ʻike wau iaʻu iho; i ka hāʻawi ʻana i koʻu makemake i ke Akua, makemake ʻo ia iā ia iho iaʻu; i ka hōʻole ʻana i nā mea keu o ka honua, loaʻa iaʻu nā mea ʻoi o ka Lani. ʻO ke ala ʻo ia ma o ke Keʻa, ma ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana iaʻu iho i kā Paul a me ko Kristo hiʻohiʻona:
Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho, e lawe ana i ke ʻano o ke kauā ... Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho, a lilo i mea hoʻolohe a hiki i ka make, a me ka make ma ke keʻa. (Pil 2: 7-8)
I kēia manawa, hiki iaʻu ke haʻi aku iā ʻoukou āpau e pili ana i ka ʻauʻau ʻana. Akā ʻaʻole ia a lele ʻoe i loko o ka wai e ʻike ʻoe i kaʻu e kamaʻilio nei. No laila, alo i kāu mau hana kīnā ʻole i kēia Kēā Kēlā a nānā iā lākou i lalo. No ka mea, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole lākou — ʻaʻole Kēlā Kēlā Kēlā ke kauō maoli i kou ola. ʻO nā koi, hoʻopili, a me nā lawehala e hōʻoluʻolu ʻole ai iā mākou. No laila hāʻawi iā lākou—mihi, huli mai iā lākou - a ʻike iā ʻoe iho pehea e lilo ai ka Lent ma ke ʻano o ka hauʻoli maoli.
Makemake ʻoe e hana i kekahi mea ʻokoʻa no ka Lent?
I ka makahiki i hala, ua hana au i hoʻokahi kanahā lā Hoʻomaha Lenten, piha me ka leo no ka poʻe makemake e hoʻolohe iā ia i kā lākou kaʻa a i ʻole ma ka home. ʻAʻole uku ʻia kahi peni. He heʻe e pili ana i ka ninini ʻana iā ʻoe iho i hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻopiha ʻia me ke Akua a lele i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hauʻoli me ia. Hoʻomaka ka hoʻi hope maanei me ka Lā 1. Hiki ke koena o nā lā i kēia mahele: Hoʻomaha Lenten (no ka mea ua helu ʻia nā pou e like me nā mea hou loa, e hoʻi wale ma o nā komo mua ʻana e kiʻi i ka lā 2, a pēlā aku.)
Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke kōkua i ka hana ʻana i kēia manawa hou o kahi hauʻoli o ka hui pū ʻana me aʻu i Missouri i kēia mahina.
