Ka Pōʻakolu o kēia lā Malaki 9, 2020 me ka ʻōlelo
Mai ka Euanelio a Iesū Kristo ma muli o ka Luka 6,36-38.
I kēlā manawa, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Iesū i kāna poʻe haumāna: “E aloha aku ʻoukou, e like me ko ʻoukou Makua i lokomaikaʻi ai.
Mai ʻōlelo aku, ʻaʻole ʻoukou e ʻike ʻia; mai hoohewa aku, aole oukou e hoohewaia; kala ae kala a kalaia ʻoukou;
E hāʻawi aku a hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe; ke ana maikai, kauia ana, malulu ana a lele mai ana iloko o kou opu, no ka mea, me ke ana ana e paopae ai ia, e ana no ia ia oe e hoohalike ai.

Ke kolu o ke aloha
"E lokomaikaʻi, e like me ka lokomaikaʻi o kou Makua" (Lk 6,36:XNUMX). E like me ke aloha o ka Makua lani iā ʻoe he pākolu, no laila he pākolu kāu i kou hoalauna.
He nani, ākea a waiwai hoʻi ka lokomaikaʻi o ka Makua. "Nani ke aloha i ka manawa o ka pilikia, wahi a Sirach, e like me nā ao e lawe mai ana i ka ua i kahi manawa maloʻo" (Sir 35,26:63,7). I ka manawa o ka hoʻāʻo, ke kaumaha ka ʻuhane e nā lawehala, hāʻawi ke Akua i ka ua o ka lokomaikaʻi e hōʻoluʻolu i ka ʻuhane a kala i nā lawehala. Nui ia no ka mea i ka holo ʻana o ka manawa e pāhola i nā hana maikaʻi. He mea nui ia i nā hauʻoli o ke ola mau loa. "Makemake wau e hoʻomanaʻo i nā makana a ka Haku, nā hanohano o ka Haku, i ʻōlelo ʻia e ʻIsaia, ka mea āna i hana ai no mākou. Nui ʻo ia i ka maikaʻi i ko ka hale o ʻIseraʻela. Ua mālama ʻo ia iā mākou e like me kona aloha, e like me ka nui o kona lokomaikaʻi "(Is XNUMX).
ʻO ke aloha i kāu hoalauna kekahi mau ʻano ʻekolu: inā ua hana hewa ʻo ia iā ʻoe, e kala aku iā ia; inā ua nalowale kāna ʻoiaʻiʻo, e aʻo iā ia; inā make wai ia, e hoʻōla iā ia. "Me ka hilinaʻi a me ke aloha e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia nā hewa" (lf. Pr 15,27 LXX). "ʻO ka mea e alakaʻi i kahi lawehala mai kona ala o ka hewa e hoʻopakele ʻo ia i kona ʻuhane mai ka make a uhi i nā hewa he nui", e hoʻomanaʻo ʻo James (Gia 5,20). "Pōmaikaʻi ke kanaka e mālama i ka mea nāwaliwali, wahi a ka Halelu, i ka lā o ka pōʻino e hoʻopakele ai ka Haku iā ia" (Sal 41,2: XNUMX).
