MAY 26, 2019 SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

A VIEW FROM THE PEW

Sixth Sunday of Easter Reflection

“...The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,

will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” (John 14:26)

The Holy Spirit "breathes where he wills." He assists the local authorities in the

Church. He inspires individual Christians if they call on him in their need. He

inspires young people of both sexes to offer their lives to the service of the Church

and their neighbor. He has inspired founders of orders and congregations to form institutes which would

help the spread of the faith. He is at work today among us and among the separated brothers of the Church,

helping and inspiring them towards that unity for which Christ prayed.

There are moments of crisis in all our lives, moments when a vital decision has to be made. If that decision

is wrongly made it may not only seriously interfere with our earthly welfare, but more important still jeop-

ardize our eternal salvation. We should call on the Holy Spirit to help us daily, but we should call for his

assistance especially when we have a serious decision to make.

His role in the Church and in the lives of all Christians is to preserve and protect the revelation that God

has given us. There are times in the lives of many of us when we are tempted to doubt about what we are

called on to believe, or to hesitate with regard to what we are called on to do. It is on such occasions that the

help of the Holy Spirit is especially necessary. He will not fail us if we turn to him earnestly and sincerely.

Third Order of Mary Honors Our Blessed Mother

Members of the Third Order of Mary came from all over the islands to honor our Lady for the month of

May (usually designated as her month), by doing a walk around the Parish and school grounds and placing

leis while singing to her. The statues pictured here are in the Church, in the central courtyard in front of the

Church and one on the school grounds. The Third Order of Mary in Honolulu is the largest chapter in the

United States.

The Man in the Arena

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who

points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the

doer of deeds could have done them better.

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the

arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and

blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes

short again and again, because there is no effort with-

out error and shortcoming; but who does actually

strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms,

the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy

cause.

“Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of

high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at

least fails while daring greatly….”

(Excerpts from a Speech by: Theodore Roosevelt)

SCHOOL NEWS

Mary, Star of the Sea School Honors

Our Blessed Mother Mary & Our Student Athletes

It has been a long-standing Catholic tradition to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in the month of May. On Friday,

May 17th, Mary, Star of the Sea School held a “May Crowning” prayer service where students, family, and parish-

ioners adorned Mary with flowers, many of which were picked from home gardens. It was such a beautiful service,

which included a quiet time of reflection.

Following the prayer service, MSOS held it’s annual Athletic Awards Ceremony where we recognized our student

athletes who competed in Basketball, Volleyball, and Track, and we thanked our treasured volunteer coaches.

Almost a third of our total enrollment participated in sports! Congratulations to all our students for sharing their

talents and also a big congratulation goes out to 8th graders Aiden Cho and Athena Garcia-Wang for being awarded

top male and female athletes of the year!
