Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 15, 2017

Pope Francis: Live every day to the fullest thinking “now or never”.

In his homily in Santa Marta, Pope Francis said sometimes people do not

enjoy life because they leave the things they want to do for "another

day." The pope recalled that the future is uncertain and that we should make

the most of each day.

POPE FRANCIS: "Today does not repeat itself: this is life. Place

all your heart, your open heart, open it to the Lord, not closed, not

hard, not hardened, not without faith, not perverted, not deceived

by sin. We go home with these two words only: how is my ‘today’?

The sunset can be today, this day or many days later. But how was my day,

in the presence of the Lord? And how is my heart? Is it open? Is it firm in

the faith? Is it led by the Lord?” Pope Francis concluded by saying that in

order to live fully, one must abandon vices and instead fill his or her heart

with faith.

EXCERPTS FROM PAPAL HOMILY (Source: Vatican Radio)

"I say this not to scare you, but simply to say that our life is today: now or

never. I think of this: tomorrow will be the eternal tomorrow that never sets,

with the Lord forever – if I am true to this day; and the question that I put to

you is the same the Holy Spirit is putting to all of us, i.e. ‘How ought I to

live, this day?” "‘Today’ is played out in our hearts. Are our hearts opened

to the Lord? To me it always strikes me when I find an older person – often

priests or nuns – who tell me, ‘Father, pray for my final perseverance’ –

‘But, you did well all your life long, all the days of your ‘today’ are in the

service of the Lord, and still you are afraid?’ ‘No, no, my life has not yet

waned: I want to live it fully, I pray that the day arrives full, full, with a

heart strong in faith, and not ruined by sin, vices, corruption.’” "Today

does not repeat itself: this is life –and the heart, the open heart, open to the

Lord, not closed, not hard, not hardened, not without faith, not perverted,

not deceived by sin. The Lord has met so many of these, who had closed

their hearts: the doctors of the law, all these people who persecuted Him,

put Him to the test to convict Him – and in the end they managed to do it.

We go home with these two words only: how is my ‘today’? The sunset can

be today, this day or many days later. But how are you, my today, in the

presence of the Lord? And how is my heart? Is it open? Is it firm in the

faith? Is it led by the Lord? With these two questions we ask the Lord for the

grace to which each of us needs.”

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17

Paul wrote to the people of Corinth: let “there be no divisions among you...be united in mind and in the

Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace

downtown Honolulu

Bishop Larry Silva invites all to a special Mass on Thursday, February 2,

2017, at 6:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace. In

addition to celebrating the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple (Candlemas Day), we will honor our newly named Monsignor, Gary L. Secor, who was given the special honor of being a Chaplain to His Holiness by Pope Francis. His

Investiture will take place at the beginning of the Mass. The Feast of

the Presentation of the Lord is also the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Persons, so we invite all our Religious

Sisters, Brothers, Fathers, Consecrated Virgins Living in the World, and Hermits to attend for a special blessing after the homily.

The Cathedral Basilica is located at 1184 Bishop Street, Honolulu, and validated parking is available in the Century Square Garage off Bishop

Street, just makai of Beretania Street.
