ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana i ka ʻai i ka Pōʻalima: ke aʻo kino
Pili pili ka hoʻokēʻai a me ka hoʻokapu, akā aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa i kēia mau hana ʻuhane. Ma ka laulaha, pili ka hoʻokē ʻai i nā palena i ka nui o nā meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai a wā mākou e ʻai ai, ʻo ka ʻai ʻole e pili ana i ka hōʻalo ʻana i kekahi mau meaʻai. ʻO ke ʻano abstinence maʻamau ka pale ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, kahi hana ʻuhane mai nā lā mua o ka Ekalesia.
E hoʻonele iā mākou iho i kahi mea maikaʻi
Ma mua o Vatican II, koi ʻia nā Katolika e hōʻole i ka ʻiʻo i kēlā me kēia Pōʻalima, ma ke ʻano he ʻano peniten no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka make ʻana o Iesū Kristo ma ke Keʻa i ka Pōʻalima Maikaʻi. ʻOiai ʻae ʻia ka poʻe Katolika e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo, ʻokoʻa loa kēia pāpā ʻana mai nā kānāwai papaʻai o ke Kauoha Kahiko a i ʻole nā hoʻomana ʻē aʻe (e like me Islam) i kēia lā.
I nā hana a nā lunaʻōlelo (Acts 10: 9-16), he hihiʻo kā St. Petero e hōʻike ai ke Akua e hiki i nā Kristiano ke ʻai i nā meaʻai. No laila, ke hōʻole mākou, ʻaʻole ia no ka haumia ʻole o ka meaʻai; hāʻawi wale mākou i kahi mea maikaʻi, no kā mākou pono ʻuhane iho.
ʻO ke kānāwai o ka hale pule i kēia manawa ma ka abstinence
ʻO ia ke kumu, e like me ke kānāwai Church o kēia manawa, hāʻule nā lā o ka hōʻole ʻole i ka manawa o ka Lent, ke kau o ka hoʻomākaukau uhane no ka Easter. Ma ka Pōʻakolu Ash a i kēlā me kēia Pōʻalima o ka Lent, pono nā Katolika ma mua o 14 mau makahiki e hōʻole i kaʻiʻo a me nā meaʻai i hoʻokumu ʻia i kaʻiʻo.
ʻAʻole maopopo ka poʻe Kakolika he nui ka paipai ʻana o ka hale pule i ka ʻauana ma nā Pōʻalima āpau o ka makahiki, ʻaʻole wale i ka wā o ka Lent. ʻOiai, inā ʻaʻole mākou e hōʻole i ka ʻai i ka Pōʻalima o ka Lent, pono mākou e pani i kekahi ʻano penance.
Ke nānā nei i ka abstinence Pōʻalima ma loko o ka makahiki
ʻO kekahi o nā keakea pinepine pinepine ʻia e ka poʻe Kakolika nāna e hōʻole i ka ʻiʻo i kēlā me kēia Pōʻalima o ka makahiki kahi papa inoa palena ʻole o nā papa ʻaina ʻole. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka nui o ka vegetarianism i loko o nā makahiki he hala i hala aku nei, hiki i ka poʻe e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo ke loaʻa kekahi pilikia i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā meaʻai ʻole a lākou e makemake ai, a e hoʻi i hope i kēlā mau meaʻai i ka Pōʻalima meatless i nā 50s: macaroni a me ka waiū, tuna casserole a me nā lāʻau iʻa.
Akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā kuke o nā ʻāina Katolika maʻamau he ʻano palena ʻole o nā kīʻaha ʻai ʻole, e hōʻike ana i nā manawa i hōʻole ʻole ai nā Katolika i kaʻiʻo i ka wā o ka Lent a me ka Advent (ʻaʻole wale ʻo Ash Wednesday a me Pōʻalima).
Hele i waho o ka mea i koi ʻia
Inā makemake ʻoe e hana i ka abstinence i ʻāpana nui aʻe o kāu aʻo ʻuhane, kahi maikaʻi e hoʻomaka ai ka hōʻole ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ma nā Pōʻalima āpau o ka makahiki. I ka wā o ka Lent, noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe i ka mālama ʻana i nā kānāwai abstinence Lenten kuʻuna, e komo pū ana me ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ma hoʻokahi pāʻina wale nō i kēlā lā i kēia lā (ma kahi o ka abstinence koʻikoʻi ma Ash Wednesday a me Pōʻalima
ʻAʻole like me ka hoʻokē ʻai, ʻaʻohe mea pōpilikia ka hōʻole inā lawe ʻia i kahi ʻoi loa, akā inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻolōʻihi i kāu aʻo ma mua o ka mea a ka Ekalesia e kauoha nei (a i ʻole ma mua o ka mea i kuhikuhi ʻia i ka wā i hala), pono ʻoe e nīnau me ke kahuna ponoʻī.
