Aloha!
The Gospel this Sunday is the story of how Jesus heals a man in the synagogue at Capernaum. Capernaum is a small village on the Sea of Galilee, and it is one of the places our recent pilgrimage visited. I have always been grateful for my time in the Holy Land, for now when I read the Bible, there are so many images that come to my mind. My biblical understanding increased exponentially due to my experience, and even though I lived there for three years after seminary, I still discovered new things on this last visit. I hope this is true for our pilgrims who went to the Holy Land for the first time this past January.
This Sunday at 9:00 am in the Parish Hall we will share stories and photos from our recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I hope that many people will come, especially those who could not travel this time, but who might like to make the pilgrimage in the future.
Blessings to you and your loved ones,
Paul+ Father Paul Lillie, Rector St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Honolulu |

Candlemas: The Presentation of Our Lord  Thursday, February 2
Candle Ceremonies & High Mass with Choir, 6:30 pm
THE COLLECT FOR THE PRESENTATION
Almighty and everliving God,
we humbly pray that,
as your only-begotten Son
was this day presented in the temple,
so we may be presented to you
with pure and clean hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
On this fortieth day after Christmas, we celebrate Mary and Joseph bringing the Christ Child to the Temple in Jerusalem. It was there that Jesus was greeted by Simeon and Anna. At High Mass, candles will be blessed, from which two candles will be used for the Blessing of Throats on the following Sunday.
