Hiki i ka Lent maikaʻi ke hoʻololi i kou ola
Lent: aia kahi huaʻōlelo hoihoi. Me he mea lā i loaʻa mai ka huaʻōlelo Pelekane kahiko lencten, ʻo ia hoʻi "puna a puna paha". Aia kekahi pilina me West Germanic langitinaz, a i ʻole "hoʻolōʻihi ʻia o ka lā".
ʻO kēlā me kēia Katolika e hopohopo nui nei me ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana i kona ola, ua ʻike ʻo ia ma kekahi ʻano hana ʻo Lent - a i ʻole e pāʻani paha - kahi kuleana nui. Aia i loko o ko mākou koko Katolika. Hoʻomaka ka lōʻihi o nā lā a aia kahi pili o ka pūnāwai āu e ʻike ai ma kahi aʻu e noho ai ma ka hau i uhi ʻia ʻo Colorado. ʻO ia nō paha ke ala e hoʻomaka ai nā manu e mele, e like me kā Chaucer i kākau ai:
A me nā keiki hānai melemele liʻiliʻi,
I kēlā pō hiamoe ʻo ia me ʻoe hāmama
(Pēlā e hoʻohuli ai ke kūlohelohe i ka wiwo ʻole),
Makemake ʻo Thanne i ka poʻe e hele i ka hele malihini
Makemake ʻoe e hana i kekahi mea: kahi huakaʻi, huakaʻi, nā mea āpau akā e noho ana ma kahi āu e noho nei; mamao loa mai ka noho ʻana.
ʻAʻole hiki i nā kānaka āpau ke hele i Camino i Santiago de Compostela a i ʻole ka huakaʻi huakaʻi i Chartres. Akā hiki i kēlā me kēia ke huakaʻi i ka home a i ko lākou hale pule - ʻo Easter ka hopena.
ʻO ka mea nui loa e ālai ana i kēia huakaʻi ka hewa nui loa o mākou. Ua wehewehe ʻo P. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP i kēia hemahema ma ke ʻano he "ʻenemi kūloko e noho nei i loko o kā mākou kūloko ... i kekahi manawa ua like ia me ka māwae i ka paia e like me ka paʻa akā ʻaʻole pēlā: e like me ka māwae, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia akā hohonu ka hohonu. ka helehelena nani o kahi hale, kahi e hoʻoluliluli ikaika ai hiki ke hoʻoluliluli i kāna mau kumu. "
ʻO ka ʻike he aha kēia hewa he mea nui ia i ka huakaʻi, no ka mea e hōʻike ia i kāna ʻano kūlike ʻole. No laila, inā ʻo ka huhū kou hewa nui, a laila pono ʻoe e ʻimi i ka ʻoluʻolu a i ʻole ke ʻano. A ʻo ka ulu iki ʻana o ka mea ʻono e kōkua i nā pono āpau e ulu a e hōʻemi nā ʻano ʻē aʻe. Mai helu pono i ka lawa ʻana o ka Lēnē hoʻokahi; pono paha he mau mea. Akā hiki i kahi Lētē maikaʻi ke lilo i mea mana e hoʻokahuli ai i ka hewa nui, keu hoʻi e ukali ʻia e ka Easter hauʻoli.
Pehea mākou e ʻike ai i ka hewa nui o mākou? ʻO kahi ala e nīnau ai i kāu kāne a wahine paha inā loaʻa iā ʻoe; e ʻike paha ʻo ia inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana, a ke hui pū paha me kou makemake e ʻike me ka hoihoi nui.
Akā mai kahaha inā he paʻakikī e hoʻomaopopo. Aia kēia i loko o ka nane o ka hua sinapi. I kēia manawa aia kahi ala maikaʻi e nānā ai i kēia nane, kahi e hiki ai i kahi hana liʻiliʻi ke lilo i mea kū ʻole. Ua hina ʻo ke atheist Palani kaulana André Frossard ma luna o kahi hale pule i ka wā Aspergians, a puhi ka wai laʻa iā ia, a hoʻohuli ʻia, a hoʻomau i ka hana maikaʻi loa.
Akā aia kekahi ala ʻē aʻe e nānā ai i ka nane, ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ia. No ka mea, ke ulu ka lāʻau sinapi, nui loa ia e hele mai nā manu o ka lewa a noho i kāna mau lālā. Ua ʻike mākou i kēia mau manu ma mua. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia lākou ma ka nane o ka mea lūlū hua. Hele mai lākou a ʻai i ka hua i heleleʻi ʻole ma ka lepo maikaʻi. A wehewehe mai ko mākou Haku he daimonio lākou, he lawehala lākou.
E nānā i loko o kahi kumulāʻau liʻiliʻi me nā lālā liʻiliʻi, maʻalahi ka ʻike ʻana i ka pūnana manu. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka pūnana ke ʻike aku, akā maʻalahi maʻalahi e hemo i kahi lāʻau ʻōpio. ʻAʻole pēlā me kahi lāʻau nui a ʻoi paha. Nui nā lālā a nui nā lau i paʻakikī e ʻike. A ʻoiai ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i ka pūnana, paʻakikī e hemo ʻoiai kiʻekiʻe paha ia. Pēlā wale nō me nā mākua i ka hilinaʻi: ʻo ka nui o kou ʻike i ka hilinaʻi, ʻo ka nui o ka lāʻau a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻano hewa i loko o mākou iho, ʻo ka ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka lawe ʻana iā lākou.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa mākou i ka hewa; loaʻa iā mākou ka maʻa o ka nānā ʻana i ka honua ma o, a hūnā ia, ke manaʻo nei i ke ʻano o ka pono. Pēlā e hūnā ai ka nāwaliwali i kahi koloka o ka haʻahaʻa, a me ka haʻaheo i ka lole o ka magnanimity, a me ka huhū i kāohi ʻole ʻia e hoʻāʻo e like me ka huhū wale.
No laila pehea mākou e ʻike ai i kēia hemahema inā ʻaʻohe kanaka hemolele kokoke e kōkua?
Pono mākou e hele i ke keʻena o ka ʻike ponoʻī, e like me kā Saint Bernard o Clairvaux i ʻōlelo ai. ʻAʻole makemake ka poʻe he nui, pinepine no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou makemake i ka mea a lākou e ʻike ai ma laila. Akā pono ia, a inā ʻoe e noi i kāu Angel Guardian e kōkua iā ʻoe i ka wiwo ʻole e hana ai.
Akā ʻoiai ke kumu a me ka piko o nā hana a ka hale pule ka mōhai o ka Mass, aia kekahi mea e hiki iā mākou ke lawe mai ka Mass e hana i loko o ka hale e kōkua i kēia e hele i ke keʻena? Paipai au i ka ipukukui.
Kau pololei ʻia ka māmā no ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka Mass Hemolele. ʻAʻohe kānāwai e pili ana i ke kukui uila (hiki i kahi parish ke hoʻohana i ka nui o ke kukui e like me kona makemake a me kēlā me kēia ʻano), akā nui nā mea e pili ana i nā ihoiho ma ke kuahu. ʻO ke ihoiho kukui ma luna o ke kuahu no ke ʻano o Kristo. ʻO ka lapalapa ma luna ona e hōʻike i kona ʻano akua; ka ihoiho ponoʻī, kona lāhui kanaka; a ʻo ka wick, kona ʻuhane.
ʻO ke kumu nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ihoiho hiki ke loaʻa i nā pule no ka lā o nā ihoiho (i ke ʻano kupaianaha o ka ʻaoʻao Roma), kahi e noi aku ai ka Ekalesia i ke Akua ...
... e hōʻoia i ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana o nā ihoiho i ke ahi ʻike maka e hoʻopau ai i ka pouli o ka pō, no laila e like me ke ʻano o ko mākou mau puʻuwai i hoʻomālamalama ʻia e ke ahi ʻike ʻole ʻia, ʻo ia hoʻi, ke kukui ʻula o ka ʻUhane Hemolele, hiki ke hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai nā makapō a hewa a me nā maka i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia o ka ʻuhane e ʻae ʻia e ʻike i nā mea e ʻoluʻolu iā ia a makemake ʻia i ko mākou ola, i hiki ai, ma hope o nā kaua ʻeleʻele a weliweli hoʻi o kēia ola honua, hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi i ka malamalama make ʻole.
Kupanaha ka lapalapa o ke kukui (hiki ke ʻike hohonu ʻia i ka Easter Vigil, ke hoʻohana wale ʻia ke kukui o ka ihoiho no ka ʻāpana mua o ka liturgy), maʻemaʻe, nani, ʻōlinolino a piha i ka olinolino a me ka mahanahana.
No laila, inā maʻa ʻoe i ka hoʻowalewale a i ʻole pilikia e hele i loko o ke keʻena o ka ʻike iā ʻoe iho, a laila kukui i kahi ihoiho e pule ai. He ʻokoʻa loa ia.
