If we go to a game, we expect more from the cheerleaders than (drolly) “Go team, go.” We expect them to be on fire, because then they fire up the fans, who fire up the players, and the players are more motivated to win the game.

Today you are being the same fire that fell upon the Blessed Mother and the disciples of Jesus that first Pentecost day we heard about. It was a fire that touched each one of them, but it really changed them. Before they had been locked away, afraid that what had happened to Jesus by being put to death on the cross could easily happen to them if they did not keep their mouths shut. But once they were fired up with the Holy Spirit, they went out boldly to proclaim that Jesus had risen from the dead and was still with them with his merciful healing love. They were so on fire that even when they were persecuted, nothing could put them back in that locked room. They went and proclaimed the Good News of Jesus everywhere and to everyone and in every language imaginable. Read more...

Since 1974, the Daughters of St. Paul have been ministering to the spiritual needs of Hawaii and the Pacific islands of Guam, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Chuuk, Yap, Pohnpei, Nauru, Saipan, New Zealand and more from their base on Bishop Street in downtown Honolulu.

On June 16, the doors to the Honolulu Pauline Books and Media will shutter forever as the media nuns move on to other missions and newer ways of spreading the Gospel. A Mass of Thanksgiving for the sisters’ contribution to the Diocese of Honolulu was celebrated by Bishop Larry Silva at 6:30 p.m. June 2 at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa of Honolulu.

What is it about the life, spirit and charism of these sisters that touched young and old, the faithful and unchurched, people from all walks of life, and drew them to discover or rediscover the Word of God made flesh and dwelt among us? Whether it was your one-stop religious goods store, a place to share your faith journey, or a spiritual oasis from the city’s hustle and bustle in the quiet Queen of the Isles chapel, the Pauline presence will be missed.

From the Office for Social Ministry

As we journey together to develop and foster discipleship and spiritual growth in our Diocese, we continue our series of tips and suggestions from William E. Simon’s book: GREAT CATHOLIC PARISHES. Thriving parishes are typically characterized by individuals who are enthusiastic about deepening their faith, becoming closer to Jesus, and drawing others to Christ. Does this enthusiasm describe your parish?

According to Simon, “More pastors are realizing that discipleship isn’t a goal to achieve but rather a journey in faith.” He goes on to explain that parishes are made up of two distinct groups:

Group 1 - Those who do not show outward interest in spiritual growth opportunities.

Group 2 - Those who are interested in further developing their spirituality and already actively engaged in ministry.

Individuals in Group 1 need relevant, entry-level spiritual development opportunities while those in Group 2 need ongoing spiritual development opportunities which may look different from opportunities designed for newly engaged individuals in Group 1. Read more...

Saint Barnabas the Apostle
Early First Century – c. 62
Memorial - June 11

Today’s saint was an Apostle in the exact same sense in which St. Paul was an Apostle. Saint Barnabas was not one of the Twelve original followers of Christ nor a replacement for one of the Twelve, like Saint Matthias. But the term “The Twelve” quickly disappeared after the Gospel events, because “The Twelve” themselves propagated into dozens, hundreds, and then thousands of successor Apostles, known alternatively as Episcopoi or Prebyteroi: Overseers or Elders. Saint Barnabas is among that generation of Christian leaders whose name first surfaces immediately after the Resurrection. So although he was not in the circle of “The Twelve,” he stood in the next outer ring. Read more...
