Pope Francis: Nurture Tomorrow’s Hope by Healing Today’s Pain
|

Vatican News, November 14, 2021
In his homily for Sunday's World Day of the Poor Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis observed that the Gospel tells us of the bewildering signs before the Son of Man will come that help us intepret history where today's pain coexists with tomorrow's hope - from today's painful contradictions to the salvation that awaits us in encountering the Lord who comes to free us from all evil.
Today's pain
The Pope pointed how the poor are the most wounded and oppressed in history "marked by tribulation, violence, suffering and injustice", awaiting a liberation that "never seems to arrive". Today's World Day of the Poor calls us to focus in a special way on the "suffering of those most vulnerable", the Pope said, since they are often forced into this situation due to injustice and inequality, made worse by a "throwaway society" that ignores or abandons them.

Deacon Andres ‘Andy’ Calunod | 1940-2021
By Patrick Downes
Hawaii Catholic Herald
“Nothing is more fulfilling, in body and spirit, when you know why you were born,” said Andres “Andy” Calunod before he was ordained a deacon 14 years ago, choosing to serve the sick, dying and hurt as his primary ministry.
Having fulfilled his purpose well, Deacon Calunod died at his home in Honolulu on All Saints Day, Nov. 1. He was 81.
“He was a wonderful person, a happy, kind, loving person,” said Sister Patricia Schofield, a Sister of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities who worked with Deacon Calunod at the St. Francis Healthcare Spiritual Care Department. “That beautiful, wonderful smile of his” could open doors, she said.
“He did quite a lot for us. If you needed him, he was there.” Sometimes that meant visiting homes or providing a Communion service when no priest was available for Mass. Read more...

Helping Others Help Themselves - Catholic Campaign for Human Development
|
 |
|
From the Office for Social Ministry
Once again, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is asking for your help to fight poverty, which affects more than 38 million Americans. CCHD is a national initiative of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) dedicated to empowering others, while carrying out the mission of Jesus Christ "... to bring glad tidings to the poor ... liberty to captives ... sight to the blind, and let the oppressed go free." (Luke 4:18) CCHD funds community programs that help low-income people help themselves by participating in
decisions that affect their lives, their families and community.
2021 is the 50th Anniversary of the CCHD National Collection. Unfortunately, issues of poverty throughout many communities have worsened in the past year due to job loss and domino effects stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Supporting the work of CCHD this anniversary year is more important than ever before! Read more...

Saint of the Week
Blessed Lucy of Narni
1476-1544
Feast Day – November 15
Lucia Brocadelli wanted to become a nun, but when she was 15, her family arranged her marriage to a count. After three years the marriage was not consummated, and her husband freed her. As a Dominican tertiary, she joined communities in Rome and Viterbo, where she received the stigmata, which church investigations found genuine. Meanwhile, the Duke of Ferrara, who wanted a mystic for his town, built Lucy a convent in Ferrara. The move was ill-fated. Lucy endured resentment from other nuns, the death of her patron and loss of the stigmata; she was replaced as superior and spent her last 40 years in obscurity. She was beatified in 1710.

Synod of Bishops - Diocese of Honolulu Phase
|
 |
| |
From: Bishop Larry Silva
To: The Clergy, Religious and Faithful of the Diocese of Honolulu
Peace be with you!
Pope Francis has announced a Synod of Bishops, which is to take place in October 2023 in Rome. In preparation for that Synod, he has asked every diocese in the world to conduct its own consultation process between October 17, 2021 and February 2022. I therefore invite all in our diocese to carefully read this Request for Input and to respond as requested. The documents issued by the Vatican describe a rather complex process, and anyone who wants to read them can do so at Documento Preparatorio della XVI Assemblea Generale Ordinaria del Sinodo dei Vescovi (vatican.va) and For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission Vademecum for the Synod on Synodality (vatican.va). I have attempted to simplify the process to make it more effective in our diocese.
The Synod consultation process involves these steps:
1. Pray, using the Scripture readings provided.
2. Reflect on the readings, on the Synod questions, and most of all on the ONE KEY QUESTION being asked of everyone in our Diocese of Honolulu.
3. Have a discussion with ANY group on the ONE KEY QUESTION. (E.g. parish pastoral council, finance council, school board; Legion of Mary, Knights of Columbus, Filipino Catholic Clubs; households; neighbors; a small group from your parish; a small group at your workplace; attendees at youth sports; youth groups; young adult groups; senior groups; etc.) The objective is to be as inclusive as possible.
4. Collate responses in a brief summary and submit them to https://bit.ly/SynodResponses.
5. Repeat this consultation process with other people or groups, especially with those who are not a part of our normal parish groups. Read more...
