Prayer for the
COVID-19 CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC
Written by
Bishop Larry Silva
Dear God of all the living, you sent your Son Jesus to heal us from illness and sin.
We turn to his healing power in this time of anxiety over the pandemic of this potentially deadly virus.
St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope dedicated their lives to the service of those who had an infectious disease. St. Marianne Cope said, “I am not afraid of any disease,” because she was confident in your power to save. At the same time, she took prudent precautions of hygiene to assure that she and her Sisters would not be infected.
Let us learn from this example to put our trust in you to save us from the ravages of disease and to take prudent measures to prevent its spread. Guide us to know when to isolate ourselves from the possibility of infection, but never let anyone be left without the care and concern of others in the community.
As our Diocese of Honolulu has been dedicated to the Divine Mercy,
we pray with confidence,
Jesus, I trust in you.
Saint Damien, pray for us!
Saint Marianne, pray for us!
Amen.
2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C – 2022
"Do whatever He tells you."
After all the excitement of the Christmas Season, we return to what is known as the season of Ordinary Time. Stripped of all the holiday trimmings, it does not mean, however, that we also stash away the spirit of Christ being present among us. Rather we are challenged to be a witness to that Presence of Christ in the midst of the ordinary events of our everyday life. And this is the summon of Pope Francis of what it means to journey towards becoming a Synodal Church – a Church that truly reflects the Presence of Christ in the everyday life of the People of God.
At that wedding in Cana, we find the Lord Jesus being drawn into the domestic affairs of people. For the Lord nothing is so trivial that it would not merit his attention even if it is as insignificant as running out of wine. Every occasion can be a moment of grace if we allow His presence to prevail.
But fascinating as it is to see water transformed into wine by the Lord, it all started with Mary’s simple intervention. Her sensitivity to the predicament of others led her to be an instrument for the unfolding of the first sign of Jesus in the gospel. But she also was quick to remind us that the unfolding of the sign of the Kingdom of God can only happen if we “Do whatever He tells us to do.”

Please display as many pinwheels as possible as a reminder of the over 63 million babies aborted in the United States alone.
Beginning on January 12th consider praying the 9-Days for Life Novena Prayer. Booklets are available upon request. Please see a hospitality minister.
"In the eyes of the Lord, we are one body in Christ. Every human being is sacred and created by God. Let us uphold this truth and proclaim the Gospel of Life.”
Prayer to St. Joseph
Written by Pope Francis
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father, and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil.
Amen.
