Ko Te Whakapono / The Apostles' Creed / Credo (Version A)
E whakapono ana ahau ki te Atua, ki te Matua kaha rawa, kaihanga o te rangi me te whenua; Ki tāna Tamaiti kotahi hoki, ki a Hehu Karaiti to tātou Ariki; i whakahuatia e te Wairua Tapu, i whānau i te takakau i a Maria; i whakamamaetia i ngā rā i a Ponotio Pirato, i rīpekatia, i mate, i tanumia, i heke ki te reinga, i ara ake i te toru o ngā rā i kake atu ki te rangi e noho ana ki te ringa matau o te Matua.

Āmene.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heavan and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Te Whakaaro: I te rongotanga a Maria te pänui a te Anaher, kaore ona korero ëngari ka kitetia te ahua o tenei Wahine, he Wahin humarie, ngawari aroha pono. Reflection: Mary's Acceptance, Obedience, Joy and Humility are lessons from Mary we should try to follow. 2) Ko te Haerenga o Maria Takakau ki a Erihāpeti The Visitation Luke 1:39-56 Ko te haerenga a Maria ki a Irihapeti whaea o Hoani Papita. Mary goes to help her cousin Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist.

'''Te Whakaaro: Me inoi tatou mo era tira-a-take, mo o ratou kaupapa, me nga petihana. Me aroha ano tatou kia tatou.''' Reflection: We Pray for those on pilgrimage for their intentions, petitions and indulgences. Pray that we may love our neighbor. 3) Ko te Whānautanga o Hehu The Nativity Matthew 2:1-12 Luke 2:1-20 Ko te whänautanga o Hehu Karaiti i Peterehema. Jesus is born in the stable.

Te Whakaaro: Ko Hehu Karaiti te Kaiwhakaora mo nga iwi katoa, i Aotearoa. Reflection: May Jesus Christ, our Savior, be received and worshipped in Aotearoa (New Zealand). 4) Ko te Kawenga o Hehu ki te Temepara The Presentation Luke 2:22-39 Tekawenga o Hehu Karaiti e Hohepa raua ko Maria ki tona Matua i te Temepara. Joseph and Mary offer Jesus to His Father in the Temple.

'''Te Whakaaro: He tino tauira nga Matua, hei whainga ma nga tamariki/mokouna. Ma te piripono o nga Matua ki te haere ki te karakia, kaore e kore ka whai atu nga tamariki.''' Reflection: By good example parents can lead their children/grandchildren to God's Temple. 5) Ko te Kitenga i a Hehu ki te Temepara e ōna mātua The Finding in the Temple Luke 2:41-50 Na Hohepa raua ko Maria i kite a Hehu Karaiti i roto i te Temepara muri mai i nga ra e toru e ngaro ana.

Nga Mihiteria Kikokiko / The Luminous Mysteries
(Rāpare) / (Thursdays)

1) Te Iriiritanga O Hehu Karaiti ki Horano The Baptism of Christ Matthew 3:13-17 Mark 1:9-11 Luke 3:21-22 John 1:32-34 A, no ka oti a ihu te iriiri, tika tonu ake ia i te wai... Na ko tetahi reo no te rangi e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai... (Mt.3:16..17). After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water...And a voice came from Heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son,...” (Mt.3:16..17)

'''Te Whakaaro: Kia mau tonu ia Hehu te karanga a Te matua i te rangi i Tana mihana i te ao, ka whaka-mohio atu ia kia ratou e kimi ana Te Atua. Ka inoi tatou mo nga Karaitiana katoa o Aotearoa, ki a noho pono ratou ki te Hakarameta Iriiritanga i oatitia kia ratou.''' Reflection: Jesus takes the Challenge of the Father in heaven and starts His mission on earth. Jesus identifies Himself with those who search for God. We pray for all Christians in Aotearoa may they be faithful to the mission that Baptism entrusted to them. 2) Te Whakaatutanga o Hehu i a ia i Kana The Miracle at Cana John 2:1-12 Na i te toru o nga ra he märena i Kana o Kariki; a i reira te whaea o Ihu... A, i te paunga o te waina, ka mea te whaea o ihu ki a ia, Kahore a ratou waina. Ka mea a ihu ki a ia, E tai, he aha taku ki a koe? Kahore ano kia taea noatia toku haora. Ka mea tona whaea ki nga kaimahi, Ko tata e mea ai ki a koutou, meatia. (John 2:1..11) Jesus Self-Manifestation at Cana - On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee...and the mother of Jesus was there...When they ran out of wine...Mary said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said, “Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother told the servers, “Do whatever He tells you.” (John 2:1..11)

Te Whakaaro: Te Merekara o te waina hou me te Ukaritia te tino tohu whakatu i reira Te Ariki o Te Aranga ake i waenganui i Ana akonga, me te noho pono kia Maria Te Whaea o Te Atua me te powhiri hoki ki te katoa “kia mäia Tana e kia ana”, me te inoi kia maumahara pono mo Te Wairua o Te Ariki iroto ia tatou, ki waenganui i o tatau Maatua whenau/hoki ko ratou hoki nga tatahi o te Hahi. Reflection: The miracle of the new wine prefigures the Eucharist, the supreme sign of the Presence of the Risen Lord among His disciples, and the firm faith of Mary the Mother of God invites everyone to “Do whatever He tells you.”We pray for a greater awareness of the Presence of the Lord in our lives and especially in our Christian couples and families, which are the first cells of the Church. 3) Te Panuitanga o te Kingitanga me Te Karanga kia huri nga ngahau Proclamation of the Coming of the Kingdom and the Call to Conversion Matthew 4:12 - 25:46 Mark 1:14 - 13:37 Luke 4:14 - 21:38 John 3:13 - 12:50 3. Te Panuitanga o te Kingitanga me Te Karanga kia huri nga ngahau Na i muri i a Hoani i tukua ai ki te herehere, ka haere a Ihu ki Kariki ka kauhau i te rongopai o te Atua. Ka mea, Kua rite tenei te wa, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua; ripeneta, whakaponohia te rongopai. (Mark 1:14..15) After John had been arrested, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Good News from God. “The time has come...The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Good News.” (Mark 1:14..15)

'''Te Whakaaro: I kitea te maramatanga tonu me Tona aroha mo ratou katoa i tutaki ki i a ia. I te tïmatatanga o Tona mïhana no te kitenga o Te Aranga ake o Te ariki, koia tenei te tino huringa a ngakau. Me inoi tatou mo ratou katoa e taumaha ana e whakaroaro ana, me inoi mo te aroha pono me te kotahi tanga mo tatou me a tatou whanau, wahi noho katoa i Aotearoa (New Zealand).''' Reflection: Jesus began His Mission and the light of His love shone on everyone he met. The encounter with the Risen Lord must lead to a profound change of heart. We pray for all those who struggle and doubt, we pray for the grace of conversion and reconciliation in ourselves, in our families, in our communities and in Aotearoa (New Zealand). 4) Te Whakahuaketla The Transfiguration Matthew 17:1-8 Mark 9:1-12 Luke 9:28-36 A, i a ia e inoi ana, ka puta ke te aha o tona mata, ma tonu tona kakahu, kanapatonu, Na, tokorua nga tangata e korero tahi ana me ia, ko Mohi raua ko Iraia. I puta kororia mai, i korero ano ki tona matenga meäke nei rite i a ia ki Hiruharama... (Luke 9:28..36). While Jesus was praying His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white...Moses and Elijah were conversing with Him, and spoke of His passing that He was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. (Luke 9:28..36).

'''Te Whakaaro: I kitea i nga whai akonga a Hehu i a ia i roto i Tona kikokikotanga, me te kite ano i a ia i tona Atua tanga. He tohu pono, a tatou pono hoki ka haere penei ano i nga piki me nga heke, me te marama mo Te Kororiatanga e pa ana ki te katoa kia ratou e mate ana i roto i a ia. Ka inoi tatou kia u rawa kia pakari rawa ki te pono mo ake ake, ki te tuku atu ia tatou e whaingakau ana kia Hehu, i roto hoki i o tatou matenga ki roto i a ia.''' Reflection: The disciples see Jesus in His humanity and at the same time glimpses of His divinity in insights of faith. Our belief goes through similar tension of agony and ecstasy of faith, but we know that all will be transformed and we will share His glory when we will be going through death as Christ did. We pray for perseverance and courage to last in faithfulness and to surrender ourselves totally to Christ even in our own passing away. 5) Te Whakanohanga o te Ukaritia Institution of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper Matthew 26:26-29 Mark 14:22-25 Luke 22:14-20 John 6:51 John 13:1 - 17:26 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 Ko ahau te taro ora i heke iho i te rangi; ki te kai tetahi i tenei taro, e ora tonu ia: ae ra, ko te raro e houtu e ahau ko oku kikokiko, e hoatu e ahau hei oranga mo te ao. (John 6:51) “I am the living 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.” (John 6:51)

Te Whakaaro: Ka noho taro a Hehu i roto ia tatou, hei kaiwhaka ora he u hoki ki o tatou wairua i roto i Te Hakarameta Tapu, na te nohotanga tonu o Hehu i roto i te Ukaritia ka haere tonu te mahi whakaora, te marama, te kaha me te pono o te whaingakau, ka inoi tatou, kia kore rawa e maroke te aroga o te Ukaritia Tapu i o tatou Parihi, Rohe, Rohenga o Aotearoa (New Zealand). Reflection: Jesus becomes actual food to enter into us to provide nourishment and refreshment to our soul in what we call Holy Communion. The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist continues His work of redemption by giving us the light and the strength we need to serve Him with all our heart. We pray that the Eucharistic graces never dry up in our parish, dioceses throughout Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Te Whakaaro: E ti iwi me tuturi me tuohu te mahunga - Me whakaaro tatou ki Te Whaea Tapu, ki nga maemae e pehi nei i a ia. E ngau nei i tona ngakau, e koingo ana ki tona Tamaiti ki a Hehu Karaiti – Kua Ripekatia! Reflection: Kneel and bow your head and pray. Think of Our Holy Mother as she gazes up at her crucified Son, Jesus. Think of her pain, sorrow, and suffering; and with deep humility and remorse, humbly ask forgiveness.
