How many are the ways we let our hearts be troubled! A relationship that means very much to us does not go as we had hoped, so we become anxious about it. We don’t have enough money for all the things we need, much less for the things we want, so we worry about where we will get the money we need. We feel that we are being bullied by someone at school or criticized unfairly, and we become very agitated. We are feeling sick, and we do not know whether it is a passing illness or something much more serious, so we become very anxious and worried. We lost a loved one in death, and we are filled with darkness and despair.

Along comes Jesus and says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Easy for him to say! He is God. He can do whatever he wants. Read more...

When Lorraine Manlolo was doing her medical residency, she came across a story online showing a young woman in a wedding gown. This bride, the headline read, had “married Jesus Christ.”

After clicking on the story, Manlolo learned the woman was a consecrated virgin, an ancient vocation where chaste women not in religious orders can dedicate their lives to God while still living and working out in the community.

“I remember just thinking … ‘Wow I had never heard about that!’ It was interesting,” the 43-year-old radiologist recalls.

Two decades later, Manlolo became a “Consecrated Virgin Living in the World” in a ritual led by Bishop Larry Silva during the April 16 noon Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu. Read more...

From the Office for Social Ministry

This Good Shepherd social ministry model is embodied in the Honolulu-Diocese supported, and Pūʻā Foundation administered, Mercy House program. The Mercy House ministry not only gathers and welcomes formerly incarcerated women back into community, but also helps them go out to help others in need through the Peer Support Kōkua Project.

This program provides “justice-involved” women temporary housing as well as leadership and vocational training to assist persons transitioning from prison. Mercy House currently shelters a total of five formerly incarcerated women residents. They include a” house mother” manager who herself previously graduated from Mercy House herself. This house manager will soon be graduating with an associate’s degree from Windward Community College and is on track to pursue her bachelor’s degree with a $5,000 scholarship in the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Social Work program!

Its purpose is to share the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST in such a compelling way that participants will be encouraged and strengthened to become more excited in expressing their faith.

The "I Thirst" events include... Dynamic Teachings, Personal Testimonies, Inspiring Music, Healing, Prayer, Mass and Reconciliation, which in combination opens participants to encountering the risen LORD. Six National Presenters have been approved by our Diocese to minister in Hawaii. These presentations are geared towards the love of the Sacraments, focusing on the Eucharistic Revival and encouraging people to not only be Disciples of JESUS CHRIST but to also lead others to HIM. Bishop Larry Silva will celebrate Mass. Dominic Olaso (Head of the Diocesan Evangelization TaskForce) will emcee and lead the Praise & Worship.

Saint Damien of Molokai
1840–1889
Memorial – May 10

Jozef De Veuster was the youngest of seven children born into a poor farming family in central Belgium. Jozef went to school until the age of thirteen, at which time he had to assist his father on the family farm. A few years later, after his older brother entered religious life, Jozef’s father sent Jozef to college to prepare him to take over the family business. At school, during a mission, he heard God calling him to religious life. At the age of twenty, Jozef followed in his brother’s footsteps and entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jozef later took the name Damien after a fourth-century saint who was a physician and martyr. His brother Auguste took the name Pamphile. Two of their sisters also entered religious life.
