To the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary: Honor and Glory Forever—Amen!
Greetings, everyone, welcome to our worshipping community as we gather together on
this the Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time. We thank you for being with your
brothers and sisters in Christ.
Today we hear of the trickery of the Jewish leaders as they try to lure Jesus into
disobedience to civil law while clinging to covenant fidelity. Jesus sees their ruse and
affirms the just claims of both: “....repay Caesar what belongs to Cesar and to God what
belongs to God.” The same which we, too, need to respect: God and country. There will
be times when there will be differences. It seems our choice is becoming ever clearer - God or Godlessness.
As a “nation under God”, we seem to be heading in opposite direction: ban on prayer in public and in schools,
removal of religious images publicly displayed, pro-abortion, same sex marriages, etc. It is imperative that we
pray our country will return back to being a nation that is truly under God.
Bishop of Honolulu, the Most Reverend Larry Silva, put it succinctly when he wrote recently to all the
faithful: “We must participate in our government ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ Voting is
one of the concrete ways to assure that the values we hold so dear for the common good can be enshrined in
the law of the land. Vote on November 4th and may God guide us and enlighten us all.”
As we approach the flu and cold season with news of the threat of Ebola surrounding us, we need to review
our common practices as they are done on the North Shore. For instance: holding hand at the “Our Father”,
“Sign of Peace”, “Drinking from the Chalice”, “Feeling sick”, etc. Already mentioned at Mass is the fact that
we seem to be one of the few parishes to hold hands during the “Our Father”. It is an “extemporaneous”
action on the part of some parishioners to hold hand but it is an easy way of spreading a contagious cold or flu.
Just form your hands in a prayerful way and sing or recite the “Our Father”. The priest celebrant, as
representative of the entire congregation, should lift his hands up to God.
The same with the “Sign of Peace”….instead of a “handshake”….give a slight nod of the head and a
beautiful smile as you say “peace be with you”.
Drinking from the chalice is optional but perhaps we should discontinue for the time being since germs can
be spread even though the chalice is wiped by the minister.
If you are not feeling well or have the beginnings of a cold or flu, please use your judgment as to whether
you should come to church or not. It is preferable you remain at home. Because of the circumstances, you are
not obligated to attend Mass. Please call Father if you have any questions in this regards.
Our prayers to the family of the late Pelagio Villanueva Ballesteros, 94, of Mill Camp, who passed away at
his residence. Also, to the family of John Sergave, our valiant parishioner, who died at Queen’s Hospital. We
wish to extend our prayerful condolence to the Enosara family who just lost their loved one: Roque Enosara.
May Pelagio, John, and Roque find peace forever in God’s eternal Kingdom. Funeral services are pending at
this time.
Fr. Chris Keahi, ss.cc.

thanks all participating parishes for their
support and generosity to help us carry out
the social mission of the Church. With your
help, we carry out our work to improve the
lives of people in need right here in

Catholic Charities Hawai‘i was chartered
in 1947 by the Maryknoll Sisters to serve
the growing social services needs created by
the effects of WWII in Hawai‘i. Today, we
continue their legacy of caring - providing
help and hope to tens of thousands of people
in need, regardless of their faith or culture.
Our programs and services assist
children, families, immigrants, seniors and
individuals through over 30 programs and
services statewide.
