OUR Prayers and Gratitude

Aloha Fr. Pascual and the Parishioners of Our Lady of

Good Counsel.

I want to take this opportunity to say “mahalo” for the

150 used church chairs that we received. They will come

in very handy for our parish here in Our Lady of Mt.

Carmel. Upon completion of our Hale ‘O Malia Multi-

purpose building in August the chairs will be spread

through the 8 classrooms and they are truly a timely

blessing for us!

Again, “Mahalo” and God bless you!

Fr. Paulo Kosaka, OFM Cap

4th Sunday of Easter

April 25 & 26, 2015

Acts 4:8-12 There is no salvation through anyone else.

Psalm 118 “The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.”

1 John 3:1-2 We are God’s children now.

John 10:11-18 The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep

Today we again hear the voice of Saint Peter in the reading from the Acts of the

Apostles. In this memorable passage he tells us that there is no name other than that of Je-

sus Christ by which we are to be saved. In the Gospel, Jesus tells us of the depth of His love

for us, that He chooses to lay down His life for us. As we listen today to God’s holy word,

let us be grateful that we have such a Good Shepherd to care for us and save us.

5th Sunday of Easter

May 2 & 3, 2015

Acts 9:26-31

Psalm 2

1John 3:18-24

Stewardship FAQS

What is Stewardship? It is a complete lifestyle acknowledging God as creator and provider of all. It is the grateful receiving and responsible man-

agement of God’s gifts, and the eager sharing of them as expressed in prayer, worship, offering and action.

Who is a Christian Steward? As a disciple of Jesus, a Christian Steward receives God’s gifts gratefully, manages them responsibly, and shares

them joyfully, giving back to the Lord generously of one’s time, talent and treasure.

How do I get started with Stewardship? Stewardship is a journey of faith, it is more a process than a program. The key steps in the process can be

summarized as such.

Discern: Reflect on all that the Lord has provided to you.

Develop: Build on your gifts and leverage your talent

Disburse: Begin an enhanced sharing of your time, talent and treasure. How does the Parish Community get started with Stewardship? Each parish is unique and must find the level of stewardship that is acceptable

and comfortable for the parishioners. Most important you need to secure the personal involvement of your key leaders (pastor, staff & lay volun-

teers). A commitment of time, effort, financial resources and prayer for the long range is vital. A parish education program must be

developed to communicate a clear and concise message, one that is repeated and included some way in all other parish programs and

communications. Finally, a willingness to trust that as stewardship is taught and accepted as a faith response, urgently needed human, physical and

financial resources will follow.

For the next month, we continue celebrating the Easter season with

Gospel readings from John, all of which have Jesus sharing stories

inspired by the Resurrection. What does today’s Gospel have to do

with the Resurrection and what does this have to do with how I live

my everyday life?

What has always stood out to me from today’s passage is the fact that

in Jesus’ day (much like today) the shepherd did not lay down his life

for his sheep. Losing one or more of the fold was an anticipated cost

of doing business. Jesus’ saying, then and now, is all the more

startling given His complete reversal of expectations. In part, the

resurrection is so very astonishing because no one expects God to

die. Gods don’t die!

As disciples, we are called to live like Jesus. How often do we risk

ourselves to give lifegiving love where it is not expected or even

wanted? Like intervening at a store when a parent tells a child she is

stupid? Like waving and smiling at a man who cuts you off in traffic?

Pro-Life Reflection

.An angel of the Lord descended from heaven, came and

rolled back the stone and sat upon it. ~Mt 28:2

Reflection: The stone is what sealed human beings in the

grave. By sitting on it, the Angel says that death is

conquered—not only Jesus’ death but all death.

The stone is not going to roll back, it cannot any longer hold

humanity captive to the grave. Our destiny is now the heights

of heaven.

Prayer: Lord, your power is greater than death. May Easter

give me confidence to be a witness to Life!

Intercessory Prayer: End of Life

For those who are about to die: that through our love,

care, and devotion, they might know the beauty of life,

To the moment of their final breath;

We pray to the Lord
