[Immaculate Conception Church, Lihue (Eucharistic Revival Catechesis)]

[Pointing to the congregation] “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” You might be asking yourself, “Where?” “Has some miracle happened that Jesus is actually here today?” I would answer, “Yes, the miracle of the Eucharist is happening over again, and you are gathered here with a dignity more profound than you might imagine!”

As we continue with our Eucharistic catechesis throughout the diocese in this time of the Eucharistic Revival being celebrated in the United States, we focus today upon the Introductory Rites of the Mass. But first it needs to be said that the real purpose of the celebration of the Eucharist is so that we can physically encounter the risen Christ. It is here above all that Jesus fulfills his promise that he would be with us always, even to the end of the world. But Jesus is not going to walk through the door with long, flowing robes. He is truly present now in a new and different way. Read more...

Local Catholics filled the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa in Honolulu on Jan. 4 for a Memorial Mass honoring the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

The Diocese of Honolulu’s Bishop Larry Silva presided and gave a homily recognizing the late pope for his “rock solid” theological legacy and Christ-centered faith life.

Pope Benedict XVI passed away on Dec. 31. He had been retired since 2013 when he made the surprising announcement that he would be stepping down from the papacy. He had been pontiff since April 2005. Read more...

Saint Anthony of Egypt
251–356
Memorial – January 17

Anthony was born into an upper-class Catholic home. His parents raised Anthony and his younger sister in a small village in southern Egypt. He received a basic education and was twenty years old when his parents suddenly died. He was left with a large inheritance and the responsibility of caring for his sister. Some months later, Anthony was attending Mass and heard the Gospel story of Jesus’ command to the rich young man: “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven” (Matthew 19:21). As Anthony heard these words, he knew Jesus was speaking directly to him. Shortly after, he gave away most of his property, sold almost everything else, and kept only what he needed to care for himself and his sister. Read more...
