ʻO Divine ka Hemolele

Ua ʻoki ʻia kahi papa maʻa maʻi mai kahi ʻili ʻāina ma Carrara, Tuscany, Italia, ma kahi o 30 mau mika ke kiʻekiʻe a ʻo ke kaumaha ma kahi o 30 tons. Ua hoʻouna ʻia ka poloka nui ma ka waʻa i Florence, kahi i kauoha ʻia ai ka mea kālai kiʻi ʻo Agostino di Duccio e hana i kiʻi o ke kanaka koa Baibala ʻo David. Ua hoʻomaka ka mea kālai kiʻi e hana i nā wāwae a me nā wāwae, akā haʻalele ʻo ia i ka papahana ma ke ʻano paʻakikī loa ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hemahema i ke kinikini. ʻAʻole i hana ʻia ka poloka no 12 mau makahiki ma mua o ka lawe ʻana o kekahi mea kālai kiʻi ʻo Antonio Rossellino. Akā, ua ʻike ʻo ia he paʻakikī loa ka hana ʻana me ka haʻalele ʻana iā ia he mea waiwai ʻole. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā hoʻāʻo ma hope mai he mediocre ka maikaʻi o ke kinikini a loaʻa nā lua microscopic a me nā veins e hoʻoweliweli paha i ke kūpaʻa o ke kiʻi nui. Ua haʻalele ʻia ka ʻāpana i hoʻopōʻino ʻia a hōʻike ʻia i nā mea kumu no 25 mau makahiki ma mua o ka lawe ʻana o Michelangelo i ke kōmike e hoʻopau i ka hana. Ua hiki iā Michelangelo ke kaʻe a ʻokiʻoki paha i nā hemahema e hana ai i ka mea i ʻike ʻia ʻo ke kiʻi kiʻi o ka Renaissance.

ʻO ka manaʻo o Michelangelo e pili ana i ke kiʻi kiʻi ʻo ia e hoʻoikaika nei e hoʻokuʻu i ke kiʻi i hānau ʻia i loko o kona noʻonoʻo mai nā palena o ka poloka marble. Akā ʻoi aku ka nui o kēia kiʻi ma mua o ka ʻike. ʻO ke kiʻi kiʻi o David he hana noʻeau ma kona ʻano waho, akā he mau hemahema o loko a me nā hemahema i kona haku ʻana, e like me kā David Baibala i loaʻa nā hemahema i kona ʻano. ʻAʻole ʻo David wale nō ma kēia ʻano. Loaʻa iā mākou nā ʻano maikaʻi, nā ʻano maikaʻi ʻole, nā ikaika, nā nāwaliwali a me nā hemahema i loko o mākou.
I kona wā e ola ana, ua kapa pinepine ʻia ʻo Michelangelo ʻo "Il Divino", "The Divine", no kāna mau taleni a me kāna mau akamai. ʻO ka wā Easter he ʻōlelo mai kahi akua ʻē aʻe, he ʻōlelo o ka manaʻolana no mākou a pau i kēia manawa a i ka wā e hiki mai ana: "Akā, ua hōʻike mai ke Akua i kona aloha iā mākou ma kēia, i ka wā e hewa ana mākou, make ʻo Kristo no mākou" (Romans 5,8).

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i ke Akua ma ke ʻano he kanaka hewa, ʻaʻole e like me ʻoe. ʻAʻole ʻoe e nalowale, ʻaʻole hoʻi e hōʻole ʻia. ʻAʻole ʻoe e hoʻokuke ʻia me ka paʻakikī loa a ʻike ʻia paha he mea waiwai ʻole ma muli o kou mau hemahema. Ua ʻike ke Akua i ko kākou ʻano maoli, ua hōʻike mai i ke aloha kūpaʻa ʻole no kēlā me kēia kanaka a me nā kānaka a pau o ka honua. Loaʻa i ke aloha ke kala ʻana, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohuli i kā mākou hana i hala akā hiki ke kala ʻia nā hewa. Ke ʻike nei ke Akua ma mua o kā mākou mau hewa i hiki iā mākou ke lilo me kāna kōkua.

"No ka mea, ua hoolilo oia ia ia i hewa no kakou ka poe ike ole i ka hewa, i lilo kakou i poe pono no ke Akua ia ia."2. Korineto 5,21).

Malia paha i kēia Easter e hiki mai ana hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha mai kou ola luhi a lawe i kekahi manawa e noʻonoʻo ai i ke ʻano maoli o ka Easter. Ua ʻoki ʻo Iesū i kou mau hemahema a pau mai loko mai o kou ola ma o kāna ʻālana kalahala i hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kū i mua o ke Akua ma ke ʻano o kāna hana nui i kāna pono a ola pū me ia a mau loa aku.
