Parish Mission Statement
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Parish is a faith-filled community for all cultures and ages dedicated to building the Kingdom of God. We come closer to God by following Jesus Christ through His Word and the Sacraments. Through the Holy Spirit and with the intercession of our Blessed Mother, we provide a sense of belonging to all God's people through prayer, service and the sharing of our gifts for the praise and glory of God.
Stewardship Prayer
Generous and Loving Creator, you have called us to Malama i ka Makana (Cherish the Gift). As disciples of your Son, we ask that your Spirit open our minds and hearts to more deeply appreciate your countless blessings. Increase your transforming spirit within us, so as to nurture our call to stewardship as a way of life marked always by faith-filled prayer, service to others and generous giving. With the kokua of St. Marianne and St. Damien, teach us to be good stewards so we may return a hundred-fold the makana entrusted to us. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Week of February 17, 2019

In this weekend’s gospel, St. Luke tells us that Jesus wants us to be concerned about our spiritual relationship with God, the Father. St Luke also wants us to know that through Christ’s death and resurrection, we have the assurance of God’s promise of eternal life in His heavenly kingdom. St Luke goes on to tell us that in God’s kingdom, the things that we value here on earth, may not be the same that is valued in God’s kingdom. In fact, Jesus tells the disciples, that in God’s kingdom, the things that we value on earth may be the opposite of what God would have us aspire to.
Jesus is saying, God cares for the poor, for the hungry, and for those who are sad and mourning. But in their pursuit of success, we in society tend to neglect and to forget those people in need. Jesus says that in God’s kingdom, what we value here on earth will be turned upside down. For God is concerned for each and every one of us, especially those in need.
There is no mistake, that in St. Luke’s gospel, we are being called to live as members of God’s kingdom. We are being called to pattern our life after Jesus, who spent time discerning his relationship with God, and by following His Father’s will. We are also called to care and to minister to people in need, especially those whom we often ignore.
Finally, the list of woes that Jesus proclaims, is not meant to be a list of things that we need to avoid in order to gain access to God’s kingdom. Jesus is not asking us to become poor and hungry in order to enter God’s kingdom. Rather, Jesus is saying that those in our society who have achieved success according to our society standards and worldly values, may have a hard time realizing that in God’s kingdom, their earthly status is of no avail. They will no longer enjoy the prestige of their earthly wealth or position, for they will be on an even basis with the poor, the hungry, and those whom they have long ignored.
The truth is, we have all sinned and we have all fallen short of what it means to belong to the kingdom of God – both spiritually and in our relationship with others. But through the grace of God, as manifested in Christ’s death and resurrection, we can know and receive God’s forgiveness. And through the power of God’s Spirit, we can be empowered to renew our relationship with God and to reach out to those in need. Only through God’s Spirit, can we live out what Jesus preached this day, and to become His disciples.
