ʻO ka ʻōlelo e pili ana i ka liturgy o Pepeluali 2, 2021 na Don Luigi Maria Epicoco
ʻO kaʻahaʻaina o ka Hōʻikeʻike o Iesū i loko o ka Luakini me ka paukū mai kaʻeuanelio e haʻi nei i ka moʻolelo. ʻO ka kali ʻana no Simeone ʻaʻole ia e haʻi maʻalahi iā mākou i ka moʻolelo o kēia kāne, akā e haʻi iā mākou i ke ʻano o ke kumu o kēlā me kēia kāne a me kēlā wahine kēia wahine. He wahi kaliʻi ia.
Hoʻomaopopo pinepine mākou iā mākou iho e pili ana i kā mākou mea i manaʻo ai. ʻO mākou nā mea i manaʻo ʻia. A me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻole ʻia, ʻo ka mea maoli o kā mākou mau mea i manaʻo ai ʻo Kristo mau nō ia. ʻO ia ka hoʻokō maoli o ka mea a mākou e hāpai nei i loko o ko mākou naʻau.
ʻO ka mea e hoʻāʻo paha mākou āpau e hana ʻo ia ʻo Kristo ma o ka hoʻōla hou ʻana i nā mea i manaʻo ʻia. ʻAʻole maʻalahi e hālāwai me Kristo inā ʻaʻohe ou mea e manaʻo ai. ʻO ke ola i manaʻo ʻole ʻia he ola maʻi mau ia, kahi ola piha i ke kaupaona a me ke ʻano o ka make. ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana iā Kristo e kūlike me ka ʻike ikaika o ka hānau hou ʻana o kahi manaʻolana nui i loko o ko mākou puʻuwai. Akā ʻaʻole ma ka ʻ aslelo Euanelio o kēia lā i hōʻike maikaʻi loa ʻia ke kumuhana ʻo Light:
"Mālamalama e hoʻomālamalama i nā lāhui a me ka hanohano o kou poʻe kānaka ʻIseraʻela".
ʻO ka mālamalama e hoʻopau i ka pouli. ʻO ka mālamalama e hōʻike i ka ʻike o ka pouli. Mālamalama e hoʻōla i ka pouli mai ka dictatorship o ka huikau a me ka makaʻu. A hōʻuluʻulu ʻia kēia mau mea āpau i kahi keiki. He hana kūikawā kā Iesū i loko o ko mākou ola. He hana ka e hoʻā i nā kukui kahi o ka pouli wale nō. No ka mea ke inoa wale mākou i nā mea ʻino, nā lawehala, nā mea makaʻu iā mākou, nā mea a mākou e haʻalulu ai, a laila hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau iā lākou mai ko mākou ola.
ʻO kēia lā kaʻahaʻaina o ka "kukui". I kēia lā pono mākou i ka koa e kū a kāhea i ka inoa i nā mea āpau "kūʻē" i kā mākou hauʻoli, nā mea āpau e ʻae ʻole ai iā mākou e lele kiʻekiʻe: nā pilina hewa, nā ʻano maʻamau, nā makaʻu sedimented, nā insecurities i kūkulu ʻia, nā pono kīnā ʻole. I kēia lā ʻaʻole pono e makaʻu i kēia kukui, no ka mea aia wale nō ma hope o kēia "hōʻino" salutary hiki i kahi "hou" i kāhea ʻia e ke olaola i hoʻomaka i loko o kā mākou ola.
