Bishop's Homily for the Second Sunday of Lent

[Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, Honolulu (Scouts Mass);
Sts. Peter & Paul Church, Honolulu]
“He just wasn’t himself today.” “She was beside herself with grief.” These are expressions we use to describe when someone is just out of sorts or not acting properly. People know when you “are not yourself,” either when you are putting on airs and pretending to be someone you are not or when you are so down that you are not manifesting your normal happy personality. We say, “He was not himself,” or “She was beside herself.”
Today we are invited by the Lord to reflect on who we really are, because when we realize the truth of who we are, everything in us and around us will change as we live that truth.
Here is the reality: We who are baptized were immersed in a Name. Yes, we were called by the name our parents chose for us to distinguish us from everyone else, but we were baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. In other words, we were soaked forever in the name of God himself, the Creator of the world, the Redeemer, and the Sanctifier. Read more...

"Lent for Life" Week Three - CRS Rice Bowl Stories of Hope
|
|
|
From the Office for Social Ministry
A Story of Hope from Bangladesh "Overcoming Disaster."
We enter the third week of Lent with reflections on how to be good stewards of God’s creation. Catholic Social Teaching reminds us we are all responsible for taking care of our planet and each other; including our global family.
This week, CRS Rice Bowl introduces us to a family in BANGLADESH who lives in a low-lying area that’s prone to flooding. By participating in CRS funded programs, Noornobi learned how to prevent his land from flooding and how to farm using organic fertilizers. He also raises chickens and ducks to sell at the market. With extra profits, he has been able to buy a larger home for his family and pay for private education for his siblings.
To view the first Story of Hope, Bangladesh – visit the CRS website where you can also find tasty meatless recipes including this one for dahl made of lentils and tasty seasonings. Read more...

Lent: What to Give Up?
|
|
|
By Deacon Gary and Valerie Streff
Hawaii Catholic Herald
During the 40 days of Lent, many of us consider giving up something, like TV or chocolates or our morning Starbucks ritual. But instead of abstaining from something, how about spending more time in prayer and meditation? Maybe, just maybe, we should redirect our focus on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
The Respect Life Ministry of the Diocese of Honolulu encourages everyone to add more “works of mercy” to this year’s Lenten journey.
The corporal works of mercy are feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, visiting those in prison, burying the dead and giving alms to the poor. We can use the season of Lent to reach out to the poor, the marginalized and the abandoned, and bring the light of Christ to them. Read more...

Saint of the Week
Saint Patrick
Fifth Century
Feast Day - March 17
Today’s saint, the Patron of Ireland, was English. He was born in an unknown year to Catholic parents in an educated home in Roman Britain. His father was a deacon and his grandfather a married priest. When he first went to Ireland, he did not go willingly. He was kidnapped by pirates at the age of sixteen and enslaved. He went from the warm embrace of his home to herding pigs, exposed to sleet and cold, starving on the rain-soaked coast of rural Ireland. Times of great danger and deprivation are often times of great grace. In young Patrick’s years of isolation, cold, hunger, and loss, prayer was his only nourishment and comfort. His captivity turned a boy into a man and transformed a tepid Christian into an ardent soul burning with love for the Holy Trinity. Read more...
