DIOCESE OF HONOLULU PRAYER FOR THE COVID-19 CORONA VIRUS PAN-DEMIC [by Bishop Larry Silva

Dear God of all the living, you sent your Son Jesus to heal us from illness and sin. Weturn to his healing power in this time of anxiety over the pandemic of this potentiallydeadly virus.

St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope dedicated their lives to service of those who had aninfectious disease. St. Marianne Cope said, “I am not afraid of any disease,” becauseshe was confident of your power to save. At the same time, she took prudent precau-tions of hygiene to assure that she and her Sisters would not be infected.

Let us learn from this example to put our trust in you to save us from the ravages ofdisease and to take prudent measures to prevent its spread. Guide us to know when toisolate ourselves from the possibility of infection, but never let anyone be left withoutthe care and concern of others in the community.

As our Diocese of Honolulu has been dedicated to the Divine Mercy, we pray with con-fidence, “Jesus, I trust in you.”

Remember them thisMemorial Day.

Seventh Sunday of Easter

"The Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven"Why did Jesus leave his disciples forty daysafter his resurrection? Forty is a significantnumber in the Scriptures. Moses went to themountain to seek the face of God for forty daysin prayer and fasting. The people of Israel werein the wilderness for forty years in preparationfor their entry into the promised land. Elijahfasted for forty days as he journeyed in the wil-derness to the mountain of God. For forty daysafter his resurrection Jesus appeared numeroustimes to his disciples to assure them that he hadrisen indeed and to prepare them for the task ofcarrying on the work which he began during hisearthy ministry.

MEMORANDUM

To: Clergy, Parishes and Catholic Faithful

From: Most Reverend Larry Silva, Bishop of Honolulu

Date: May 1, 2020

Subject: Updated General Directives and Liturgical Guidelines Due to the COVID-19 (Update #5)

Peace be with you!

“How long, O LORD?” (Psalm 13:1) These words, which we find in several places in the Scriptures are the words we cry out aswe experience the effects of this global coronavirus pandemic. We long to physically encounter the Lord in the Eucharist and togather once again with the other members of the Body of Christ to celebrate the sacraments and to witness the full initiation of theElect in our diocese. It is a lament, but also a prayer of hope that the terrible situation we are in will soon end with the Lord’s heal-ing touch.

I am well aware of the great pain that many are experiencing because we cannot yet safely gather for the celebration of the Eucha-rist. I have been doing extensive consultations and research on how we can safely reopen our churches for Masses, but the matteris not as simple as some suggest. As you know, Governor Ige has extended the order of stay-at-home lockdown until May 31 tocontinue the mitigation of the effects of the virus and stop its spread. After consultation with my staff and the Presbyteral Council,I am extending the directives promulgated in my last memorandum dated March 27, 2020. The extension of the Directives will gointo effect immediately and until May 31, 2020. Therefore, I am dispensing all Catholics in the Diocese of Honolulu from the obli-gation to attend Sunday Mass through May 31, 2020.

We are working on various scenarios that might enable us to have Masses with limited numbers of people in the near future. Assoon as the plan is ready, we will present it to our government officials for their concurrence. In the meantime, we ask everyonefor your patience and understanding as we are trying our best to bring our parishioners back to our churches.

The following directives are in force through May 31, 2020: � Parish churches, chapels, oratories, centers, and missions are to be closed to the public through May 31, 2020 (inclusive), or until further notice. � All liturgical celebrations (e.g. Confirmation/First Holy Communion) from now through May 31 are canceled. The Office of the Vicar General will contact parishes which need toreschedule once the “all clear” is indicated by the civil authorities. � The obligation to attend Mass on Sunday is dispensed through May 31, 2020. [Priests are to continue the celebration of private Masses, with only the liturgical ministers necessary, es-pecially for the intentions of their people. We encourage parish priests to continue the live-stream of their

liturgies to their parishioners via social media platforms and to communicate to them the times of these services and log-in infor-mation.] � Parishes are invited to inform their parishioners of opportunities to view the Mass and other services via livestream or the parish’s Facebook. Daily and Sunday Mass are currently being livestreamed from various parishes in our diocese. For a com-prehensive and updated list please visit our website at www.catholichawaii.org. � The faithful are encouraged to keep the Lord’s Day holy. Some ways to do this include: reading the Scriptures of the day, especially the Gospels, praying with your families, andto joining yourself to the sacrifice of the Mass by making an act of spiritual communion. For more information and resources,please visit our website at www.catholichawaii.org. � Priests are reminded that they can still hear confessions by appointment only. Please observe good spacing between the penitent and priest, while at the same time observing absolute privacy for the peni-tent. Confessions by phone or via the internet are not permitted. General absolution is not permitted, because it presumes a gath-ering of people. � The Anointing of the Sick and Viaticum will only be administered, if possible, in situations where there is the danger of death. Please consult your parish priest, who will be given instructions on when and how to celebrate these sacramentsduring this time in which great prudence is needed for the safety and well-being of all. � All funerals, weddings and baptisms for the month of May should be postponed until further notice. If desired by the family, a memorial Mass can be scheduled appropri-ately at a later date.

Liturgies at which Bishop Larry Silva will preside will be private, with only the liturgical ministers necessary, but will be live-streamed for all to see at www.hictv.com or https://www.facebook.com/HonoluluCathedralBasilica. They are as follows:

� Mass for the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker: Friday, May 1, 7:15 p.m. (with the prayer of the rosary at 6:00 p.m. and the rerun of the Renewal of the Consecration of Our Nation to Mary, the Mother of God at 6:30 p.m.) � Mass for Fourth Sunday of Easter: May 3, 9:00 a.m. � Mass for Fifth Sunday of Easter: May 10, 9:00 a.m. � Mass for the Sixth Sunday of Easter: May 17, 9:00 a.m. � Mass for the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord: May 24, 9:00 a.m. � Mass for Pentecost Sunday: May 31, 9:00 a.m.

Please feel free to contact Deacon Modesto Cordero at the Office of Worship, 808-585-3342 or email at mcordero@rcchawaii.orgshould you have any questions.

Our Lady of Peace, patroness of the Diocese of Honolulu, pray for us!

Blessings of the Easter season to you all!
