Father Eugene Hemrick: Looking at the world in the right light

07/18/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Do you get up on the wrong side of the bed more often than not? If you watch or read the daily news, I can’t blame you. Iraq is in turmoil. Syria is in shambles. Here at home, we have experienced tornadoes and many couldn’t pull away from Nebraska’s recent double tornadoes, or “twin tornadoes” […]

Kathleen T. Choi: A modest proposal

07/18/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Recently, Prince William’s wife Katherine was heading toward a helicopter. Rotor backwash lifted her skirt, and she did not appear to be wearing underpants. Some commentators thought Katherine’s lack of lingerie showed poor judgment. Most, though, criticized the photographer and the publisher of the resulting picture. A few echoed Kathie Lee Gifford’s remark, “If I […]

Kathleen T. Choi: Small acts of kindness

07/04/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

  Despite signing up with the Do Not Call Registry, we regularly hear from telemarketers. I’ve read suggestions on how to let them know how unwelcome their intrusion is. However, I figure they’re doing a crummy job for lousy pay. So I hear them out and then say, “No thank you.” My husband shows similar […]

Viriditas: Sister Verone Leeman, Franciscan Sisters of Charity

06/20/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Christ within the community Nearly 50 years ago, back in the 1960s, I was assigned as a teacher at St. Theresa School in Kekaha, Kauai.

Mary Adamski: Peace be with you

06/20/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Pentecost usually charges me up. The idea of the Holy Spirit taking hold of my brain and expanding my understanding of my world with God in it, the imagery of tongues of fire alighting on all Christians through the ages, not just the first few; I can track that back to a brilliant teacher in […]

Kathleen T. Choi: Words to live by

06/20/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

I’ve had some health problems recently — nothing serious, but unpleasant. Illness can make it hard to pray. Fortunately, I don’t have to struggle alone. Mother Church has words for me when I cannot find my own. I know that every day, someone is praying for me. It might not be by name, but at […]

Father Kenneth Doyle: ‘May I miss Mass while on a cruise?’

06/20/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Q: Every summer, my husband and I go on a cruise. Only one cruise line (Holland America) continues to have a priest on board to say Mass. When we travel on other cruise lines, frequently we have missed Sunday Mass because there was no priest on board and we could not get to a Catholic […]

Father John Catoir: A simple exercise in God’s love that can help many

06/20/2014 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

In my 54 years as a priest, I have been privileged to give hundreds of retreats. My favorite groups were recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. I was once the director of a drug and alcoholic rehabilitation facility, Eva’s Village, in Paterson, New Jersey. It was there that I taught the theory behind the 12-step program. […]

Msgr. Owen F. Campion: Corpus Christi

Body, blood, soul and divinity Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 John 6:51-58 This weekend the church celebrates the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, or as perhaps it is better known by its Latin translation, Corpus Christi. Feasts in the church have a dual purpose. They call Catholics to celebrate with faith […]
