Quote “It’s always a good idea to carry with us a small book of the Gospels to have in your pocket or bag, and, during the day, to read a verse. It’s good for you.” | Pope Francis expounded on the universality of the Catholic Church during his general audience Sept. 17, noting the church’s […]
Manaolana | Makana Aiona: The timeless
MAKANA’S HELPFUL HINTS Today’s first reading (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11) is one of my favorites. Time is such an incredible concept. It’s the measurement of life on earth. Without time, we wouldn’t exist. I saw a video that portrays a teacher telling his students that God must have created evil because God created everything. One student rejects […]
Manaolana | Lisa Gomes: Mary’s preeminent place
LISA’S CATECHISM CORNER YOUCAT*: Mary is the Mother of God. She was united with Jesus on earth as no other human being was or could be — in an intimacy that does not cease in heaven. Mary is the Queen of Heaven, and in her motherhood she is quite close to us. [972] In 1964, […]

Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: The paradox of faith
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. As we do so, it’s important to transport ourselves back to the days of Roman rule when the Apostles walked the earth with Jesus. Imagine death sentences being commonplace and the type of execution a warning and a deterrent. Then, image that […]
Manaolana | Lisa’s catechism corner: What is a conscience?
YOUCAT*: Conscience is the inner voice in a man that moves him to do good under any circumstance and to avoid evil by all means. At the same time it is the ability to distinguish the one from the other. In the conscience God speaks to man. [1776-1779] Deep down within us we sense God’s […]
Manaolana | Building bridges: Pope helps launch worldwide student social network
VATICAN CITY — The wisdom of “It takes a village to raise a child” has been lost as kids are either overprotected by permissive parents or neglected, Pope Francis said. “The educational partnership has been broken” as families, schools and society are “no longer united together for the child,” he said Sept. 4 after holding […]
Manaolana | Christina Capecchi: The 20-something decorator
When my cousin Emily moved into a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood this June, it marked her 10th home in five years, a residential whiplash involving sweat, tears and 11 roommates. But it was also a notable first: Emily’s first time living alone. Six hundred square feet, all hers. Where to begin, what […]
