LE fatu o se mea faigaluega faʻalelei faʻalelei. E maaleale foi. O le "vaapiapi ma le faigata" auala o le Tala Lelei, ma patupatu uma tatou te fetaiaʻi i le ala, e mafai ona tiaʻi ese le fatu mai le faʻatulagaina. Faʻataʻitaʻiga, tofotofoga, ma puapuaga… e mafai ona latou luluina le loto tatou te le maua ai le taulaʻi ma le taitaiga. Malamalama ma le iloaina o lenei natura vaivai vaivai o le agaga o le afa o le taua: afai e te iloa lou fatu tatau ona toe faʻafouina, ona e 'afa lea iina. Ae o le toʻatele, pe a le o le toʻatele o taʻutaʻua o ni Kerisiano, latou te le iloa foi o latou loto ua o gatasi. E pei lava ona mafai e le pacemaker ona toe faʻafouina le fatu faʻaletino, e tatau foʻi ona tatou faʻaogaina se mea faʻaleagaga i o tatou lava loto, aua e tofu lava le tagata ma le "fatu faʻafitauli" i se tasi tikeri poʻo seisi a o savali i lenei lalolagi.
TAEAO
When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you do? If it takes you a couple hours before you even acknowledge God, then your heart needs to be recalibrated.
Aʻo amata ona fagua o tatou mafaufau ma tiutetauave uma o le aso, e faigofie lava ona maua i le asiosio o mea uma tatou te feagai. E i ai le lagona vave o se tasi ua i tua, e le lava le taimi e faʻauma ai mea uma o loʻo manaʻomia e le aso. Ole taimi lenei e manaʻomia ai ona toe faʻafetaui le fatu. A leai, tatou ono lamatia le susuina i totonu o le vortex o pisi, ma o le a mulimuli ane nofo le Atua i tua nofoa. Ma o le a tatou puapuagatia pei o se lala o le a mafatia pe a vavaeʻese mai le vine.
But He is our peace and consolation! He is our everything, our life, our breath, our reason for being! The more our hearts lose this calibration, this centering upon him, the more restless and disturbed we become. Put positively…
I set the LORD ever before me; with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. (Psalm 16:8)
Aua le faʻatamaitiiti! O taeao uma lava, e tutupu ola aʻe ai vao 
titina le fatu lelei na totoina e le Atua i lou loto…
…worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. (Matt 13:22)
O le mafuaaga lena ua apoapoai mai ai le Tusi Paia ia tatou, ia fai pea nofouta ma mataala. [1]1 Pet 5: 8 We have to constantly set the Lord ever before us, to repeatedly recalibrate the heart toward Him. What does this mean?
Jesus taught us to be careful about getting caught up in the whirlwind of the tulituliloa after the necessities of life, or worse, the "mammon" of the world, those treasures that rot and decay:
All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. (Matt6:32-33)
E tatau ona amata o tatou aso faʻaalu sina taimi e faʻafetai ai ma faʻafetai i le Atua mo se aso fou, mo le manava, mo le ola, mo le soifua maloloina, mo sapalai, ma sili atu i mea uma, mo Ia. Ia faʻafetaia, faʻafetai, ma viviʻi i le Atua e tatau ona avea ma muamua calibration o le fatu i taeao uma. Ona tatou manaʻomia moni faatulagaina faapea, "Le Alii, eveyrthing ou faia nei ou faia mo oe. Lou finagalo o loʻu meaai. Lou Malo ma lou mamalu o loʻu popole. Po o le a lava laʻu mea e fai, ou te faia mo le alofa ia te oe, faaalia i le alofa mo loʻu tuaoi. " Afai e mafai, o le taeao o le taimi sili lea e faʻaavanoa ai se taimi o manatunatuga ma tatalo faʻatasi ma Tusitusiga Paia, Rosary, ma isi tulaga ae leʻi oʻo mai le matagi muamua o le vevesi o le matagi… ma o le taimi o le tuua toʻatasi ma le Atua e tuleia i le iuga o le aso, poʻo le masani, atoa atoa i le pito.
ASO
Most of us are not monks or religious. We are called to live and work in the marketplace. Therefore, God does not expect you to sit for hours contemplating in a chapel or offering up hours of prayer when your vocation does not permit this.
…the practice of devotion must also be adapted to the strength, activities, and duties of each particular person. —St. Francis de Sales, Folasaga i le Life Devout, p. 33, translation by John K. Ryan
Peitai, ua valaauina i tatou uma tuuto, o le mea moni, ia tatalo e le aunoa. [2]1 Thess 5: 17 E faapefea e mafai ai lenei mea? E ala ile fatu e faʻalelei ile Atua ile taimi taʻitasi ole aso.
The other day, I had to carry something to the barn. A simple task, one that by all appearances was utterly forgetable and miniscule. 
Ae ina ua ou savali atu i fafo i le ea afiafi, sa ou fai atu, "Le Alii e, o Lou finagalo lenei, aʻu meaai. I sitepu taʻitasi, ou te alofa ia te Oe, faamamalu ia te Oe, ma savali ma Oe i lenei tiute o le taimi." Ma e ui ina valea e pei ona foliga mai, sa ou nofouta i le Atua; Na ou toe malamalama i le alofa o le Tama, ma o loʻu agaga atoa na faaleoina i se taimi e faavavau. Ioe, o le ala lena e tatau ona ola ai o tatou aso, i le mataala faifai pea o le Atua faʻatasi (pe tatou te lagonaina o Ia pe leai), faia le tiute ole taimi, those little miniscule acts, with great love. Then Heaven and earth intersect, and what appears to be "nothing" becomes imbued with "Everything".
Try this, even now as you read. Say to God, "I love you. I read this now through You, with You, and in You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, that all glory and honor may be yours Almighty Father, forever and ever." This little Sacrifice of the moment, this little offering, is precisely how you live out your "royal priesthood."
But of course, if we kept offering such prayers constantly, we would likely be incapable of teaching a class, participating in a meeting, writing an exam, etc. It is enough to simply "look" toward God, to acknowledge Him, to "be" with Him. Simple phrases such as "Jesus, I trust in you," or even just "Jesus" are little ways that we can manatua le fatu—O upu e fesoasoani ia tatou e vave ai ona pupula o tatou mata i le Aliʻi. [3]ff. Manatuao In this way, your heart will be recalibrated, for to work and play with God is to live for Him, for His kingdom, and to begin to experience the kingdom which is "near."
Ioe, o le tepa atu i le Atua o se tepa atu lea i le faavavau.
AFIAFI
Inevitably by nightfall, we will have stumbled, fallen, and forgotten to calibrate ourselves toward God during the day. 
A oʻo mai le afiafi, e tatau ona tatou toe faʻaleleia o tatou loto ae tatou te leʻi moe. I le lotomaualalo, e tatau ona tatou faalatalata atu i le Atua ma se iloiloga puʻupuʻu o le mafaufau, taʻutaʻu atu o tatou faaletonu, ma toe tuuina atu o tatou olaga ia te Ia. O lenei e tatau ona avea ma se vavalalata taimi i le va o oe ma le Tama a o e toe faʻailoa Lona faʻavavau alofa mutimutivale ma le faʻamagaloga ma lau tapulaʻa a
bility to love. In this way, your heart is once again refreshed and restored so that the next morning you can begin your day without the "junk" of yesterday.
Don’t give the devil a chance by letting the sun set on an uncalibrated heart.
AMATA NEI
Recalibrating the heart means beginning again and again as we climb the mountain of sanctity toward union with God—stumbling, tripping, getting up again. As I quoted from the Catechism in my last webcast on Le Malosi o le Koluse...
He who climbs never stops going from beginning to beginning, through beginnings that have no end. -Catechism o le Katoliko Ekalesia, 2015
Aua le popole pe a e iloa e tatau ona toe fetuʻunaʻi lou fatu i taimi uma, pe na e alu mo le tele o itula e aunoa ma le mafaufau i le Atua! Ae ui i lea, faʻaaoga lenei mea o se taimi e lotomaualalo ai oe lava ma faʻailoa o oe atonu e le o le alofa i le Atua e pei ona e manatu ai, o loʻo e sailia lou malo e sili atu nai lo Lona, ma o loʻo totoe pea le tele o le liuaina i lou olaga. Ia, mo e pei o oe ma aʻu na afio mai Iesu, e le mo le vaieli, ae mo e mamaʻi. [4]cf. Mareko 2:17 Living a life constantly in God’s presence with all your heart, soul, and strength, comes by way of mausa.
Thus, the life of prayer is the habit of being in the presence of the thrice-holy God and in communion with him. This communion of life is always possible because, through Baptism, we have already been united with Christ.-Catechism o le Katoliko Ekalesia, 2565
E le mafai ona e faia lenei mea e aunoa ma le alofa tunoa o le Atua. E pei la o le fai Salamo, ia e faatuina le Alii i ou luma i taimi uma e te manatuaina ai, ma o le a faia e le Atua mea o totoe. Ofo atu ia te Ia au areto e lima ma iʻa e lua i le taeao, ma o le a Ia amata faʻateleina i lou aso atoa, i lou olaga atoa. Na te mafaia ona aumaia oe i le fiafia o le lotogatasi i se vaega o le sekone. Ae Na te le faia, aua o le ala e tatau ona avea ma se auala o le talitonuina, faauo, sootaga… faʻatuatua. [5]vaʻai Aisea Faʻatuatua? And as we know, that is a road of many beginnings, many efforts and recalibrations.
Ae e tau atu i le ola faavavau, iinei ma le olaga a sau.
Salamo, aua ua latalata mai le malo o le Lagi. (Mata 4:17)
