- [Domingo 27 de Octubre del 2024](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/26/domingo-27-de-octubre-del-2024/) - Hermanas y hermanos, las lecturas de hoy tienen un delicioso sabor de alegría. Es el gozo del pueblo que vuelve a casa, en la primera lectura; es la solemne ventura del llamado al sacerdocio, en la segunda lectura; es la felicidad desbordante del ciego curado en el evangelio.
- [Power](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/19/power/) - Power is exercised differently in a Christian community. One does not lord it over others, and authority is not used to twist arms. Rulers in Jesus' time lived in luxury, taxed people and had the last word over people's life. Power easily loses sight of its true objective. We claim we need it to serve others better, but in no time, we turn people into servants or enemies.
- [Domingo 20 de Octubre del 2024](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/19/domingo-20-de-octubre-del-2024/) - Hermanas y hermanos, cual es el sentido de la Humildad Cristiana?. Digamos de entrada, que Cristo no condena el deseo de ser importante ni habla mal de quien quiere tener el primer puesto. Por lo menos en el evangelio de hoy no es ese su propósito.
- [I Have Kept all the Commandments](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/12/i-have-kept-all-the-commandments/) - The man's name in the Gospel is not mentioned. He can be any of us who meets Jesus on the road of life and who is struck by the beauty of his teaching and the leadership Jesus exudes. We all had had our moments of religious fervor when we wanted to be a priest or a religious or when we wanted to be a caring companion of the elderly, the sick, the lonely and the helpless. We felt good at such moments for we felt the intensity of the Lord's presence and appeal.
- [Domingo 13 de Octubre del 2024](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/12/domingo-13-de-octubre-del-2024/) - Hermanas y hermanos, la grandeza de una opción, el tema central de las lecturas de este domingo es la opción. La grandeza y al mismo tiempo toda la responsabilidad de ser humanos depende de esa palabra: opción; optar.
- [What God Has Joined Together...](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/05/what-god-has-joined-together/) - Jesus says that this was never part of God's plan in the creation of Adam and Eve. The book of Genesis talks about a permanent bond, "What God has joined together, no human being must separate." The sanctity of marriage goes back to the creation story.
- [Domingo 9 de Octubre del 2024](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/05/domingo-9-de-octubre-del-2024/) - Hermanas y hermanos, la primera lectura de hoy nos presenta la creación de la mujer como un acto de amor con el que Dios completa la existencia de Adán.
- [Les deseo una Feliz Y benedecida semana](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/10/01/les-deseo-una-feliz-y-benedecida-semanadomingo-29-de-septiembre-del-2024-semanaxxvi-del-tiempo-ordinario/) - Hermanas y hermanos, la tolerancia, como virtud social las lecturas de este domingo, van sin embargo en ese sentido. Y debemos decir, sin complejos ni arrogancias, que hay un sentido cristiano de la tolerancia. Así por ejemplo nos enseña el Concilio Vaticano II en su Decreto sobre la Libertad Religiosa, n. 2.
- [No Exclusive Copyright Over His Name](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/09/28/no-exclusive-copyright-over-his-name/) - The apostle John reported to our Lord with the claim, "We saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he is not of our company." Bluntly, Jesus ordered them not to stop him and essentially told them that they do not have an exclusive copyright over His name.
- [Who Was the Greatest](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/09/21/who-was-the-greatest/) - The curing of the deaf-mute is much more than a story about a person's physical handicap. The pagan man could not hear the good news of Jesus much less proclaim it, because he was deaf and dumb. Jesus wants this man too to receive the message of God's love and communicate it to others.
- [Who do you say I am](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/09/14/who-do-you-say-i-am/) - The curing of the deaf-mute is much more than a story about a person's physical handicap. The pagan man could not hear the good news of Jesus much less proclaim it, because he was deaf and dumb. Jesus wants this man too to receive the message of God's love and communicate it to others.
- [Deaf to the Word of God](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/09/08/deaf-to-the-word-of-god/) - The curing of the deaf-mute is much more than a story about a person's physical handicap. The pagan man could not hear the good news of Jesus much less proclaim it, because he was deaf and dumb. Jesus wants this man too to receive the message of God's love and communicate it to others.
- [Clean and Worthy](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/08/31/clean-and-worthy/) - The ceremonial washings in our religious practice flow from our belief that God whom we seek to encounter, and approach is All Holy. Therefore, we need to go to Him, clean and worthy.
- [To Whom Shall We Go](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/08/25/to-whom-shall-we-go/) - Jesus wouldn't really care much if dissent and defection were indeed to occur among His disciples. Jesus was inviting them to discern for themselves. What He clearly does is simply give His teachings and challenges, and then to poke us time and again by asking us a question or two.
- [The Bread of Life](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/08/11/the-bread-of-life/) - The gospel stresses that Jesus is the bread of life, "I am the bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." In the Eucharistic celebration, we see Jesus as the Word of God that became flesh and as the incarnation of God's wisdom
- [God's Nourishment](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/07/27/gods-nourishment/) - The feeding of the crowd is recorded in all the four Gospels, and all the evangelists agree that Jesus brings forth the superabundant loaves and fish by multiplying the small amount of food available. In the Gospel of John, the little amount of food came from a young boy. This small detail gives a different slant in highlighting the aspect of sharing.
- [A Taste of Real Life](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/07/13/a-taste-of-real-life/) - The disciples had been with the Lord for quite some time. They have been witnesses to Jesus' ministry. Some of them, His inner circle of friends, Peter, James and John, have been with Him in his quiet moments of prayer.
- [Met with Opposition and Unbelief](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/07/06/met-with-opposition-and-unbelief/) - Two individuals approach Jesus with a wish and an expectation. The first person is Jairus, a synagogue official, who was not inclined to run to Jesus, for the teachings of Jesus had upset the Jewish leaders
- [The Boat](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/06/22/the-boat/) - Jesus was on their way to the other side of the lake, when a violent squall came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, threatening the disciples' survival. The boat was understood to represent the church which had rough sailing. There were many incidents in church history which almost caused the sinking of the church
- [Patience](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/06/15/patience-2/) - The gospel stresses the value of patience. First and foremost, patience to ourselves, for we are the first to suffer from our shortcomings like being over-sensitive, being a worrier or perfectionist. We may have to plant the seed of understanding to convince ourselves that very few people
- [To Do The Will of the Father](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/06/09/to-do-the-will-of-the-father/) - We always thought that the last bastion of support that you and I expect would be our family. But it was not the case with Jesus. Can you imagine having your own family turn against you? Your own relatives calling you "mad."? It would have required a strong inner life on the part of Jesus to be able to withstand such external turmoil. I believe that it is just what Mark wanted us to appreciate about Jesus, "to do the will of the Father."
- [Beyond Our Human Wisdom](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/05/26/beyond-our-human-wisdom/) - If we cannot understand God because he is beyond our human wisdom, it is still more difficult to accept the Trinity for it contradicts human mathematics. I
- [The Advocate](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/05/18/the-advocate/) - The Holy Spirit is indeed the dynamic force who transforms not only the Church but every human person. We have encountered many people whose lives were “renewed” because of the Spirit. Their eyes were opened to realize their frailty and emptiness despite material fullness and satisfaction.
- [Passing of the Baton](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/05/11/passing-of-the-baton/) - We might compare the Feast of the Ascension to the passing of a baton from one to the other in a relay race. Jesus passed the baton of continuing His work on earth to His apostles and through these first followers, to us now His new followers.
- [As the Father Loves Me](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/05/04/as-the-father-loves-me/) - "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love." (Jn 15:9)We are invited to love each other as Jesus loved us.
- [My Father Glorified](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/04/27/my-father-glorified/) - As followers of Jesus, we are expected to bear fruits. This is our mission. A parent bears fruit in his children and a teacher in her students.
- [I am the Good Shepherd](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/04/21/i-am-the-good-shepherd/) - "I am the Good Shepherd," says our Lord. As followers of Jesus, we are invited to be likewise, a good shepherd. Whether we think of it or not or whether we like it or not, we do shepherding in our lives. As a parent, teacher, relative, friend or companion we influence people for the better or the worse
- [Patience](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/04/13/patience/) - We live in a world of instants. We want things to be done outright or wishes to happen instantly. We could hardly wait. But when we read the gospels, we see how patient Jesus was with his disciples.
- [Nobody Can Lock Out Jesus](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/04/06/nobody-can-lock-out-jesus/) - The news of Jesus’ resurrection had not removed the fear from the hearts of the disciples. On the evening of Easter Sunday, they were assembled in a room with the doors closed.
- [The Greatest Feast of the Year](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/03/31/the-greatest-feast-of-the-year/) - Today’s feast of Jesus’ rising from the dead is the crown of God’s salvation work. It affects everyone of us in the deepest core of our existence, because it opens for us the way to eternal life in God. Without Jesus’ life, death and resurrection there is no hope whatsoever.
- [The Crowd](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/03/24/the-crowd/) - There are two Gospel readings on this Palm Sunday. Each time the Gospels are read, I am always puzzled on the change of mood that is experienced. There is a joyful singing of Hosanna when the crowd welcomed Him with shouts and acclamation, waving palms and branches, with their mantle spread on His path.
- [The Cost of Discipleship](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/03/17/the-cost-of-discipleship/) - The Gospel reading presents us the cost of discipleship by using a beautiful imagery of the grain of wheat that must fall to the ground and die so that it can produce fruit. The imagery is a reflection of Jesus w
- [Jesus Came to Save, not to Condemn](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/03/09/jesus-came-to-save-not-to-condemn/) - Jesus came to save, not to condemn. Parents seldom condemn their children. They may be deeply hurt or struggle with frustration, but they kept believing in a change. When something goes wrong, we may be tempted to condemn rather than to present something better.
- [Jesus Fashioned a Whip of Cords](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/03/03/jesus-fashioned-a-whip-of-cords/) - The episode of Jesus driving out the moneychangers from the temple is narrated by all four gospels. But only the version of John says that Jesus fashioned a whip of cords to drive them out.
- [A Glimpse of His Divinity](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/02/24/a-glimpse-of-his-divinity/) - Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem to suffer and die. He knows that the apostles' faith will be brought to its breaking point. What would sustain them, so that they do not break? First, Jesus showed them his godhead in the transfiguration
- [Service, Generosity, Peace](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/02/17/service-generosity-peace/) - The gospel says that Jesus was with wild animals and that the angels looked after him. He was in a mixed company. The wild animals though did not harm him since the angels were watching over him.
- [Healing and Humility](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/02/10/healing-and-humility/) - The Lord has performed miracles after miracles throughout his ministry. But the healing He performed goes hand in hand with humility of the one healed. Healing and humility are inseparable. It is only when we are humble enough to kneel down in the confessional that we are healed of guilt that has burdened us for a long time. It is only when we are humble enough to seek the advice of a competent person that some marital problems can be solved. It is only after an alcoholic, or a wife batterer, is humble enough to admit his problem that healing can begin. It is only when parents are humble enough to listen to their children that relationships improve. It is only when we are humble enough to take the first step towards reconciliation that things get settled.
- [What It Means to Follow Jesus](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2024/02/03/what-it-means-to-follow-jesus/) - We come now to the end of the civil calendar, the last day of the year 2023. It’s a day to look back at the year that was and look forward to the coming year. So many events have happened in the past 12 months, the most unforgettable was the tragedy that hit the island of Maui. Many have lost their homes, and some have lost their loved ones. They continued to struggle from that tragedy and encountered

It’s a day to look back at the year that was and look forward to the coming year. So many events have happened in the past 12 months, the most unforgettable was the tragedy that hit the island of Maui. Many have lost their homes, and some have lost their loved ones.

- [Hail, Full of Grace, the Lord is with You](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/12/24/hail-full-of-grace-the-lord-is-with-youd/) - Advent season comes to an end. All the four candles on the advent wreath are finally lit. In today’s Gospel story, Mary is visited by the angel Gabriel and addressed her as “Hail, Full of Grace, the Lord is with you.”
- [Gaudete Sunday](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/12/16/gaudete-sunday/) - John the Baptist was introduced in the gospels as the second cousin of our Lord, as a great figure, a messenger, the forerunner of our Lord Jesus Christ. His life also spoke a much greater message. His simplicity in lifestyle and fearlessness in preparing the path for the coming of God's kingdom. John was part of the good news through faithfulness to his mission.
- [Preparers of the Way...](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/12/09/preparers-of-the-way/) - John the Baptist was introduced in the gospels as the second cousin of our Lord, as a great figure, a messenger, the forerunner of our Lord Jesus Christ. His life also spoke a much greater message. His simplicity in lifestyle and fearlessness in preparing the path for the coming of God's kingdom. John was part of the good news through faithfulness to his mission.
- [The Road to the Desert](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/12/02/the-road-to-the-desert/) - It's Advent Season once again, the beginning of a new liturgical year. The Christmas rush is officially on, especially after Thanksgiving Day with Black Friday mad and frenetic day. All roads seem to lead to the malls and entertainment places once again.
- [Feast of Christ the King](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/11/26/feast-of-christ-the-king/) - Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King. The three readings on this feast day, presents to us beautiful images of the kind of king that Christ is. The First Reading shows the king as a Good Shepherd. The Second Reading presents to us Christ as the King of kings, while the Gospel text gives us an integral picture of a Glorious king who's at the same time the marginalized one. In the end, we get a perplexing view of a king who's apart from the usual notion we have of a king, seated on a throne complete with golden crown and scepter.
- [Our Gifts Bearing Fruit](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/11/18/our-gifts-bearing-fruit/) - In any endeavor, readiness for such an activity necessitates preparation. Ten virgins went to welcome the groom at a wedding celebration. The foolish bridesmaids had the willingness to do such. They were well-disposed, but they failed to plan and to prepare themselves properly. The wise virgins came prepared. Nothing beautiful happens without preparation.
- [True Discipleship](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/11/12/true-discipleship/) - In any endeavor, readiness for such an activity necessitates preparation. Ten virgins went to welcome the groom at a wedding celebration. The foolish bridesmaids had the willingness to do such. They were well-disposed, but they failed to plan and to prepare themselves properly. The wise virgins came prepared. Nothing beautiful happens without preparation.
- [The Scribes and the Pharisees](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/11/04/the-scribes-and-the-pharisees/) - The Scribes and the Pharisees lived in a world of their own and were no longer in touch with the hard life of the ordinary people. They multiplied rituals and religious practices which they themselves followed faithfully, but which became heavy burdens on people. Such lifestyle made it impossible for them to live like other people for too many things were forbidden as in the area of cleanliness.
- [The Greatest Commandment](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/10/28/to-caesar-or-to-god-2/) - To love one's neighbor can be challenging especially when the people next door is bad-mannered or getting on our nerves. To show love to such people is really difficult and demands great effort. Jesus makes an important point that love for God and love for neighbor cannot be separated.
- [To Caesar or To God?](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/10/21/to-caesar-or-to-god/) - The Pharisees sent two of their disciples to entrap Jesus with a question, “Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?” They asked, not because they wanted to learn from Jesus, but to test him.
- [The Wedding Feast](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/10/10/the-wedding-feast/) - The Kingdom of God is like a wedding feast. A wedding is always a joyful event. It is a festive occasion. Visitors attend in happy faces and

- [Belief and Practice](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/09/30/26th-sunday/) - We see at times in life a gap between belief and practice. Those who proclaim faith in Jesus as savior or praise him loudly in rallies are not always reliable in following his teaching on justice, mercy, forgiveness and charity. Those whom we never see in Church are at times a better brother or sister

- [So the Last will Be First...](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/09/26/25th-sunday/) - The Gospel speaks of a manager entrusted by his master to care for his property. At first glance, we could be puzzled upon reading the parable. It is about a manager who was dismissed from his job for dishonesty. It is not the intention of the parable to praise the wrongdoing of the manager. It
- [To Err is Human](https://ctkchurchmaui.org/2023/09/19/peters-profession/) - To err is human; to forgive, divine. Alexander Pope To forgive is not easy. It is difficult but it is a very special feature of Christian life. Jesus teaches us to forgive one another because we are all loved and forgiven by God. God’s mercy is always given, but the problem is we cannot experience
