Hemolele o ka lā no Pepeluali 1: ʻO ka moʻolelo o Saint Ansgar, ka mea mālama o Denmark
Ua lawa nā ukiuki o ka "ʻĀpala ma ka ʻākau" (Scandinavia) e lilo i haipule, a ua hana ʻo ia. Ua lilo ʻo ia i Benedictine ma Corbie, Palani, kahi i aʻo ai ʻo ia. I ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope mai, i ka manawa i huli ai ka mōʻī o Denmark, ua hele ʻo Ansgar i kēlā ʻāina no ʻekolu mau makahiki o ka hana mikionali, me ka holomua ʻole. Ua noi aku ʻo Suedena i nā mikionali Kalikiano, a ua hele ʻo ia ma laila, e hoʻomanawanui nei i ka hopu pio ʻana o ka pōā a me nā pilikia ʻē aʻe ma ke ala. Ma lalo o ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua kāhea hou ʻia ʻo ia e lilo i abbot o New Corbie (Corvey) a me ka bihopa o Hamburg. Na ka pope i hoʻopaʻa iā ia no nā mikiona Scandinavian. Ua kū ka waihona kālā no ka ʻolelo luna ʻākau me ka make ʻana o Emepera Louis. Ma hope o 13 mau makahiki o ka hana ma Hamburg, ua ʻike ʻo Ansgar ua wāwahi ʻia i ka honua e ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana a nā Northmen; Ua hoʻi ʻo Suedena a me Denmark i ka hoʻomana paganism.
Ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i nā hana aposetole hou ma ka ʻĀkau, e huakaʻi ana i Denmark a kōkua i ka hoʻohuli aliʻi ʻē aʻe. Me ka pono kupanaha o ka hailona ʻana, ua ʻae ke aliʻi o Suedena i nā mikionali Kalikiano e hoʻi.
Kuhi nā mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Ansgar he kahuna haʻi ʻōlelo kūikawā ʻo ia, he kahuna haʻahaʻa a haʻahaʻa hoʻi. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo ia i ka poʻe ʻilihune a me nā maʻi, ua hoʻohālike ʻo ia i ka Haku ma ka holoi ʻana i ko lākou wāwae a lawelawe iā lākou ma ka papa ʻaina. Ua make maluhia ʻo ia ma Bremen, Kelemania, me ka hoʻokō ʻole i kāna makemake e lilo i martyr.
Ua lilo hou ʻo Kuekene i pagan ma hope o kona make ʻana a noho mau ʻo ia a hiki i ka hōʻea ʻana mai o nā mikionali i ʻelua mau kenekulia i hala. Ua hāʻawi aku ʻo SantʻAnsgar i kāna ʻahaʻaina liturgical me San Biagio ma Pepeluali 3.
Hōʻikeʻike
Kākau ka mōʻaukala i ka hana a ka poʻe ma mua o ka mea. Akā ʻo ka wiwo ʻole a me ka hoʻomanawanui o nā kāne a me nā wahine e like me Ansgar hiki ke hele mai kahi kahua paʻa o ka hui pū me ka mikionali wiwo ʻole a kūpaʻa hoʻi. ʻO ko Ansgar ola kahi mea hoʻomanaʻo hou aʻe e kākau pololei ana ke Akua me nā kaha kekee. Mālama ʻo Kelistiano i nā hopena o ka lunaʻōlelo mana i kāna ala ponoʻī; pili mua ʻo ia me ka maʻemaʻe o nā lunaʻōlelo iā lākou iho.
