29th Sunday In Ordinary Time Contemplating Jesus Sts. Peter and Paul Church
October 21, 2018
GOOD NEWS! This work is totally Christ-centered, as is our Scripture passage. He is the dominant subject placed dramatically in the center of Correggio’s composition, seated on a throne of clouds. His kingdom is not of the world, and neither are his priorities. “Whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all” (Mark 10:44). Jesus is strongly self-confident in his pose, yet sweet and inviting in his facial features. He is a king and a friend. His upper body is set, but his lower body is actively moving forward with his leg stepping toward us. He sits to receive and rule but is willing to step down and wash the soiled feet of his disciples. It’s good to pause and reflect on this Jesus who calls us to follow him. As a man, he preached like no one before or since. Two millennia later we are still talking about him. He possessed such power and dignity that soldiers sent to arrest him wouldn’t dare lay hands on him. Kings (Herod), politicians (Pilate), churchmen (Pharisees), lawyers (scribes), civil servants (tax collectors), simple laborers (apostles), soldiers (at the cross), hardened sinners (prostitutes), and the poor were overcome by his compassion, authority, and character. Religious and pagans, men and women, children and the elderly—all were enraptured by his purpose and passion. This amazing figure is the one who calls you and loves you! Spend time contemplating the beauty and moral integrity of this Jesus and give thanks that he has set his eyes and heart on you.
Reading I - Isaiah 53: 10-11 Here is a powerful picture of the Suffering Servant. Jesus’ sufferings were those which would redeem the whole world. He was obedient to his Father’s will, not for suffering’s sake, but for others, even unto death. Reading II - Hebrews 4:14-16 The way to enter into God’s Kingdom, in order to find grace, is through the sacrificial work of Jesus, our great High Priest. Reading III - Mark 10:35-45 or 10:42-45 This passage plays a key role in the Gospel according to Mark’s understanding of why Jesus dies and what his death means. Through Jesus’ death people will be freed from oppression and captivity to another power, restoring them to full membership in the community that corresponds to God’s reign.

Saint Pio Comes to the Diocese of Honolulu Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace
Friday, November 9, 2013 (from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM) For information about the public veneration, please call (808)585-3342, or send an email to ealmuena@rcchawaii.org Come and venerate the official relics of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, on the occasion of the 50th commemoration of the anniversary of his passing. A mass in honor St. Padre Pio will be celebrated at 6:00 PM by the Very Rev. Msgr. Gary Secor, Rector of the Cathedral.
On Palm Sunday in 1984, the first international meeting of youth was held in St. Peter’s Square. This started the tradition of world (World Youth Day) and diocesan gatherings. Each year, the Holy Father announces the theme for World Youth Days. Dioceses are invited to celebrate young people locally on the years that there is no international celebration, hence, the creation of our local Diocesan Youth Day (DYD). Diocesan Youth Day offers young people a vivid experience of faith and communion. The principal objective of this event is to make the person of Jesus the center of the faith and life of every young person so that He may be their constant point of reference and also the inspiration of every initiative and commitment they make in their life – so they can be “Witnesses to Jesus”. The schedule includes keynote presentations, breakout sessions, mixers, prayer, liturgy, and a ministry and vocations fair. We also have a track specifically designed for parents and adults who work with youth. Diocesan Youth Day is sponsored by the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, with funding from the Hawaii Catholic Community Foundation. There will be special speakers, breakout sessions and opportunity for them to consider the Priesthood or Religious Life. (see http://catholichawaii.org/oyyam/ym/dyd to learn more.
(Registration for Diocesan Youth Day is closed.) 6
