Hemolele o ka lā: Saint John Joseph of the Cross
St. John Joseph o ke Keʻa: ʻO ka hōʻole ʻana iho ʻaʻole ia he hopena iā ia iho, akā he mea kōkua wale nō ia i ke aloha nui aku - e like me ke ola o St. John Joseph e hōʻike nei.
He ascetic loa ʻo ia i ka wā ʻōpio. I ka makahiki 16 ua hui pū ʻo ia me Franciscans ma Napela; ʻO ia ka Italia mua i ukali i ka neʻe reformist o San Pietro Alcantara. ʻO ko John Iosepa kūlana kaulana no ka hoʻāno i hoʻāla i kāna mau luna e kauoha iā ia e hoʻokumu i kahi halepule hou ma mua o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻia ʻana.
Ua alakaʻi ʻia ka hoʻolohe i ka ʻae ʻana i nā kūlana ma ke ʻano he novice master, kahu a, a ʻo ka panalāʻau hoʻi. Kona mau makahiki o hoʻomāinoino ua ʻae lākou iā ia e hāʻawi i kēia mau lawelawe i nā mākua me ke aloha nui. Ma ke ʻano he kahu ʻaʻole hōʻoluʻolu i ka hana ʻana i ka lumi kuke a i ʻole lawe mai i ka wahie a me ka wai e pono ai nā kuhina.
I ka pau ʻana o kona wā ma ke ʻano panalāʻau, ua hoʻolilo ʻo ia iā ia iho i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i ka haʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka make ʻana, ʻelua mau hopohopo i kūʻē i ka ʻuhane o ke ao o ka Malamalama o ka Malamalama. Ua kanona ʻia ʻo Giovanni Giuseppe della Croce ma 1839.

Ua ʻae ʻo Mortification iā ia e lilo i ʻano ʻano kala kala ʻoi aku i makemake ʻia e St. Francis. ʻO ka hōʻole ʻana iā ʻoe iho pono ke alakaʻi iā mākou i ke aloha, ʻaʻole i ka ʻawaʻawa; pono ia e kōkua iā mākou e wehewehe i kā mākou mea nui a hoʻonui i ke aloha. ʻO St. John Joseph o ke Keʻa ke hōʻike ola o kā Chesterton nānā ʻana: “Maʻalahi mau ka waiho ʻana i ke poʻo o nā makahiki; ʻo ka mea paʻakikī ka mālama ʻana i kāu ponoʻī.
