Alakaʻi iā St. Joseph: kanaka ilihune i ʻike i ka waiwai o ka hune
1. Ua hune ʻo Iosepa.
Ua ʻilihune ʻo ia e like me ka honua, ka mea maʻa mau i ka waiwai ma ka loaʻa ʻana o ka mea he nui. Gula, kālā, māla, hale, ʻaʻole anei kēia ka waiwai o ka honua? ʻAʻohe o Iosepa i kēia. ʻAʻohe ona mea pono no ke ola; a i ke ola e hana ʻo ia me ka hana a kona mau lima.
A ʻo Iosepa ke keiki a Dāvida, he keiki a ke aliʻi: he kūpuna waiwai kona mau kūpuna. ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo Iosepa e namunamu a ʻōhumu hoʻi: ʻaʻole ʻo ia e uē no nā ukana holo wale. Hauʻoli loa ʻo ia.
2. Ua ʻike ʻo Iosepa i ka waiwai o ka ʻilihune.
Ma muli o ka waiwai o ka honua i ka waiwai o ka mea nui, waiwai ʻo Iosepa i kona waiwai mai ka nele o ka waiwai honua. ʻAʻohe hopohopo e hoʻouka kaua i ka puʻuwai i ka mea i make e make ai: nunui ka puʻuwai, a he nui ke akua i loko ona ʻaʻole ʻo ia e manaʻo e hoʻohaʻahaʻa iā ia ma ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka pae o ka mea. Ehia mau mea a ka Haku i hūnā ai iā ʻoe, a pehea kāna e ʻike ai iā mākou, a me ka nui o nā mea āna e hāʻawi ai i ka manaʻolana.
3. Mahalo ʻo Iosepa i ke kūʻokoʻa o ka poʻe hune.
ʻO wai ka mea ʻike ʻole he kauā ka poʻe waiwai? ʻO ka poʻe wale nō e nānā aku i ka papa i hiki ke lili i ka mea waiwai: akā ʻo ka mea nāna e hāʻawi i nā mea i kā lākou waiwai kūpono, ʻike ʻo ia i ka mea waiwai e hei ʻia e nā mea he tausani a me kaukani. Koikoi ka waiwai, kaumaha ia, he hana hoʻomāinoino. E mālama ai i ka waiwai, pono i kekahi e hoʻomana i ka waiwai.
He aha ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa!
Akā ke kanaka ʻilihune, hūnā i nā waiwai maoli i loko o kona puʻuwai a ʻike i ka ʻoluʻolu me ka mea liʻiliʻi, ʻoliʻoli a hīmeni ka poʻe ʻilihuna. Loaʻa iā ia ka lani, ka lā, ka lewa, ka wai, nā kula, nā ao, nā pua ...
A loaʻa mau iā ia kahi ʻāpana berena a me kahi punawai!
Ua noho ʻo Iosepa e like me ka mea ʻilihune loa!
ʻO Iosepa maikaʻi ʻole, akā waiwai nui, e ʻae wau i ka ʻole, ka wahaheʻe o ka waiwai honua. He aha ka maikaʻi iaʻu i ka lā o ka make? ʻAʻole wau me lākou e hōʻike ai iaʻu iho i ka pā o ka Haku, akā me nā hana i koʻu ola. Makemake pū kekahi wau e waiwai i ka maikaʻi, ʻoiai inā pono wau e noho ilihune. Ua ʻilihune ʻoe a ua ʻilihune ʻo Iesū a me Maria me ʻoe. Pehea ʻoe e kānalua ai e pili ana i ke koho?
HAAWINA HELUHELU
Kākau ʻo St. Francis de Sales e pili ana i nā ʻano kūloko o kā mākou Saint.
«ʻAʻohe kanalua i ka waiho ʻia ʻana o Saint Joseph i ka makemake o ke akua i nā manawa āpau. A ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike? E nānā i ke alakaʻi ʻana a ka ʻānela iā ia e like me kāna makemake: ʻōlelo ʻo ia iā ia e hele ʻo ia i ʻAigupita, a hele ʻo ia ma laila; kauoha iā ia e hoʻi, a hoʻi. Makemake ke Akua iā ia e ʻilihune mau, ʻo ia ke ʻano o nā hoʻāʻo nui i hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi iā mākou; waiho ʻo ia me ke aloha, ʻaʻole no kekahi manawa, ʻoiai ʻo ia i kona ola a pau. A he aha ke ʻano o ka ʻilihune? o kahi ʻilihune hoʻowahāwahā ʻia, hoʻowahāwahā ʻia ... Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho i ka makemake o ke Akua, i ka hoʻomau ʻana o kona ʻilihune a me kāna hana ʻino ʻana, me ka ʻole o ka ʻae ʻana iā ia iho e lanakila a kūleʻa ʻia paha e ka tedium o loko, ka mea kānalua ʻole hoʻouka pinepine iā ia; noho mau ʻo ia i ka waiho ʻana ».
