Evening Prayer Presentation “How to Forgive”
(See artwork on cover)
A ceiling painting by Laureti is found in the Constantine Room of the papal apartments. It is a symbolic celebration of the triumph of Christianity over paganism, set in a classical architectural space. The remains of a crushed Hermes lies broken in pieces on the floor, while a crucifix of Jesus Christ sits upon the pedestal. It is fitting that the painting crowns the papal hall honoring Constantine, the first Roman emperor to leave paganism and be baptized a Christian. Constantine had four basilicas built in Rome—including St. Peter’s—and gave Christians freedom of religion in the Roman Empire. The message is clear. The Romans worshiped statues of gods who were mere human creations and projections. In the statue’s place is not just another statue but a crucifix that reminds us of a reality, a historical event. God himself became human in Jesus Christ and showed his divine strength by emptying himself and being crushed by our sins in order to forgive and win back a rebellious humanity.

Religion isn’t a business or human invention for personal enthronement. Jesus overturns this idea like he overturns the moneychangers’ tables. Worship of God is all about accepting his initiative and humbly responding in the obedience of faith and the purifying joy of love.

STEWARDSHIP TIME-‐TALENT-‐ TREASURE
What the CRS Rice Bowl Project Means to Me
Three parishioners and 2 staff attended the Stewardship Workshop sponsored by Our Sunday Visitor on February 17 at St. Theresa. Bishop Larry Silva shared in his homily of the opening Mass that being good stewards of the gifts God has given to us is a given as disciples of Jesus. Some people think being good stewards means collecting money or having enough ministers to serve at Mass, but this is not the goal of Good Stewardship. The purpose of Stewardship is to reach out to those who do not know Jesus, those “nones”, who do not claim any religion or who do not attend any church services. It is good for a parish to operate within the means God provides and to stay within our budget, but ultimately it is to bring the love of God to those who are hungry and lost, to set them free to live the lives they are called to live. Our good Stewardship is not for the few who come to us, but the 90% whom we do not see. Let us plan to open our doors wide this Lent and plan to welcome the multitudes.

What encourages me to save money and add it in the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) rice bowl project?
Well first of all to me giving back plays a big role in m y life this makes me happy to see others happy when I help them. On occasion, we may feel some temporary happiness when we receive something. But, greater sustained happiness is found by putting smiles on other faces. Showing kindness, love and support to others gives m e great joy! By just giving a dollar a day or even giving a cent it makes a very big difference on how it will help others who are in need for food, water and shelter. These are some of the basic things that a person may need. In addition to these, there are the emotional and spiritual needs of showing others compassion and love. My goal is to encourage young people such as children, teenagers, and adults in the happiness I find in giving. Adults can encourage their kids to put their spare change in their CRS Rice Bowl and fill it up as much as they can. As soon as it fills up, grab another one and fill it up some more. The CRS rice bowl can feed thousands of kids and people around the world who are in need of help.
If I could travel around the world and visit the people who are in need of food, shelter, water and most of all love and the care, that would be great!. In addition to helping our own folks on the island here on Oahu, it is the look in the eyes of young kids roaming the streets looking for food and begging for money just to eat. With no shelter, food, water, support and love, I feel an urge in my heart to comfort them. I am willing to give food to the homeless and the things they need and hope with others helping we can m ake even a bigger difference in their lives. Back in 2014 when I went to go visit my home in the Philippines I was emotionally impacted by the vision of such poverty. While leaving the airport walking to the parking lot and getting picked up by a cab you already see kids walking up to you holding up there 2 hands begging for money. Although I was initially scared and sad at the same time, it was a deep learning experience for me. I felt so bad that I told my mom to go buy them food and she did. As of today my mom taught me so m any things that she encourages me so much I know.
So help me out and spread the word out. You can pick up your rice bowls at the entrances of the church and in the courtyard. When your rice bowl is filled bring it back to church on Easter Sunday there will be a bigger version of rice bowl waiting to get filled up and ship to those in need. Thank You and Aloha.

FAITH FORMATION CCD Lent is a season of the Church when children can set practical goals to give up, give away, and pray more. In explaining Lent to children, we share that this is a time we prepare our hearts to meet the risen Lord on Easter. One way to put it into perspective for the children is to lead them through the Stations of the Cross. The Stations of the Cross helps them understand Jesus’ sacrifice and love for us. In our faith formation classes, children learn to pray the Stations of the Cross during Lent as a way to enrich their understanding of Christ’s passion death and resurrection. Children discuss Jesus’s action in relation to what is happening in their lives. An example: At the Second Station, Jesus Takes Up His Cross. The soldiers brought the cross to Jesus and put it on His shoulder. He knew He was not guilty of any crime but He accepted the heavy cross and carried it to show us how much he loves us. Sometimes things do not go as you want them to go, but you can’t run away and take the easy way out. To really get anything out of life you have to work at it every day. Jesus gave us His example; even though it was hard and painful, He accepted all our sins and took up the cross. Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me strength to do the things I don’t like to do. (from The Way of The Cross For Children)
Young Adults
ʻAnoʻai K ākou,
St. Don’s young adult ministry is mostly young wom-‐ en. We totally understand the difficulties associated with periods. All women have the right to live their life with dignity regardless of rich or poor. Young adults are doing this project for the emergency shelters serving our ar-‐ ea. We are collecting menstrual hygiene products so that we can help some of the homeless women in need, be-‐ cause there shouldn’t be a question of “Food or Sanitary napkin?”
Currently, we are looking for donations of the following items:
1. Heavy flow overnight sanitary pads 2. Regular flow sanitary pads 3. Pantiliners
Please d eposit the items in the b ins at the church with the label Period Project. Last d ate for donations is March 26th (Monday). Due to hygiene reasons we do not accept opened napkins. Thank you so much for your understand-‐ ing. Let’s bring change in the life of others, even if the least way possible.
Also, we continue to have the Thursday Young Adult Bible studies during Lent. The passages we go over are inspired from the following day's Gospel reading. For exam-‐ ple, March 2nd's Gospel starts with John 3:16 (For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life). So for the March 1st Bible study, we'll read John 3:16-‐21. On the March 8thBible study, we'll go over M ark 12:28-‐34.
The Stations of the Cross affirm for children the following truths: • Jesus experiences pain/hurting, just like us. • On the cross, Jesus shows how much he loves us. • Jesus' death and resurrection brings forgiveness of sins. A profound thought shared by a catechist, “If you had been the only person who ever lived, Jesus still would have died and rose again, just for you. He loves you that much.” Submitted by Yvonne Toma
Check out our facebook page: www.facebook.com/YoungAdultsMinistry.Honolulu As the young adults ministry of Sts. Peter & Paul, inspired by St. Don Bosco, we wish to volunteer, learn, reflect, and be happy. Servite Domine in laetitia (Serve God cheerful-‐ ly). Being part of this group, in this phase of our journey in life, will allow us to help each other to grow spiritually, intellectually and physically. If you have any interest, questions, comments, ideas, etc. please e-‐mail us at trivialFyr@gmail.com or txt 305-‐898-‐0378. Hope to see everyone soon! Aloha, Amala & Sunu 5

Suicides have become a serious public health crisis in Hawaii, with one person dying from suicide in our islands every other day. We believe every life is precious and that preventing suicides is everyone’s kuleana. We, the undersigned, believe every person is entitled to be safe at every stage in life, including those who may be marginalized such as the elderly, those who are disabled or have mental health challenges, and others. We believe awareness and suicide prevention programs are key to supporting the most vulnerable, consistent with our island values of caring for others like family. We believe physician‐assisted suicide is not consistent with these values and sends conflicting messages to Hawaii’s youth about suicide. Therefore, as a way to further reduce the prevalence of suicide in our state by 25% by 2025, we believe it is critical to concurrently prevent the legalization of assisted‐suicide in our state. SIGN THE PETITION TODAY. Mahalo to those who came to show their support for the sanctity and dignity of life Tuesday, February 27 at the State Capitol. Keep watch and in prayer that our voices will be heard. This is just the beginning.

Partners in Helping our children grow in their Catholic faith.
March 2018
Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church Parish Faith Formation
Thoughtful Moments St. Margaret Clitherow St. Margaret Clitherow converted to Catholicism soon after she married, at a time when Catholicism was illegal in England.
Yet, St. Margaret
continued to practice her faith, Her husband was not Catholic, but allowed her to hide Catholic priests in their home so they could say Mass secretly. Margaret was arrested when royal officials found a cupboard filled with vessels used for Mass, Her peaceful, joyful attitude during her imprisonment, trial, and execution inspired those around her.

The practice of giving up meat on Fridays in Lent is a reverential offering honoring lesus' sacrifice on Good Friday. We abstain
from eating meat
as a
reminder that Jesus gave up his flesh for us.
Fasting from certain foods during Lent can be a form of prayer. It helps us to focus on Christ. Fasting is also an outward sign of our faith. The Church asks that we observe all Fridays as
penitential days of
abstinence, even outside of Lent.

Symbols of the seqson Christian cultures all over the world share symbols of the Lenten season: Ashes. In the early Church, sinners were marked with ashes and isolated from the community on Ash Wednesday. During Lent, they lived apart for serious wrongs such as adultery theft, murder, heresy. On Holy Thursday, they were absolved and welcomed back. Today, a cross is traced on our foreheads from ashes of last year's palms signaling the start of Lent.
Scnoture
Eggs. Eggs used to be among the foods that
couldn't be eaten during Lent. A staple in many diets, the lack increased their importance. Over time, the egg became a symbol of the tomb. Jesus was laid in a tomb and rose on Easter to bring us new life. New life also comes from an egg. At Easter, we dye eggs and gift them in baskets, Palms. In pre-Christian days, palms were
thought to ward off evil. Palms were laid at ]esus' feet as he rode into Jerusalem. Blessed palms are distributed on Palm Sunday in remembrance.

bought a giant roll of tickets and set up an empty jar for each of us. Every time someone performed a good deed, a ticket would go in his or her jar - two if the deed was secret. To keep up enthusiasm and interest, we totaled the tickets halfway through Lent. The person who earned the most tickets decided where we went for brunch on Laetare Sunday. We made a final count on Easter and celebrated with brunch after Mass. It was a great success! This was the most observant Lent we ever had. More importantly, the kids learned to

Dean?qd/Te, Much time is given to purify the vessels after Communion. At another parish, two people bring the cloth and unfolcl it on the altar before the gifts are presentecl. Shonlcln't the preparation and cleanup of the table be less significant than the Eucharist itself?
Au,
liturgy is a beautiful expression of our faith, and we value its L,,f simplicity ancl grace. When we celebrate a liturgy, we keep in mind the nature of a particular part and its relationship to the whole celebration. We want the Eucharist to be the clear, central part of the liturgy. The preparation ofthe gifts is a practicai rite that gets us set for the eucharistic prayer; it is done with simplicity and few additional gestures. an "acolyte or another lay minister arranges the corporal on the altar" (General Instrttction of the Roman Missal,159) and places the chalice !., and other vessels. it seems appropriate for laypeople to help dress the altar, especially if they assist the entire Mass. Their actions should be inconspicuous **lEe*s& 'kry and not extend the rite. These ministers can be lay faithful because they are encouraged to present the bread and wine, emphasiziirg the inclusive nature of the Eucharist (GIRM 140, L4l). The purification of vessels is tricky because it must be done by a priest, a deacon, or an instituted acolyte. Since churches use several vessels, this action can take time and be overemphasized. However, its placement in the Mass is flexible, taking place "after Communion, or after Mass" (GIRM 279) and should be "done briefly and inconspicuously" (Introduction to the Order of Mass, l3B). These pastoral suggestions enable us to leave the purification ofthe vessels until after Mass so we maintain a proper focus on the Eucharist and the meditation that follows. Fr. John K. Schmidt, CSsR I Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org Tlze Roman Missal says
