THE OPENING PRAYER TO OUR LOVING CREATOR: OUR Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for † Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. "If I speak with human tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and with full knowledge comprehend all mysteries; if I have faith enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give everything I have to feed the poor and hand over my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not put on airs, it is not snobbish, love is never rude, it is not self seeking, it is not prone to anger, neither does it brood over injuries, love does not rejoice in what is wrong, but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to loves forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure, love never fails." Love never Fails and now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love WE SAY MAHALO FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS GIVEN. WE ACKNOWLEDGE YOU FOR BRINGING THEIR TWO HEARTS TOGETHER AND UNITING THEM AS ONE. WE ASK THAT YOU GUIDE THEM THROUGH ALL THAT LIFE BRINGS, WITH PEACE AND JOY.

The Lords Prayer in Hawaiian

E ko makou makua iloko o ka lani, e hoanoia kou inoa. E hiki mai kou aupuni; e malamaia kou makemake ma ka honua nei, e like me ia i malamaia ma ka lani la; E haawi mai ia makou i keia la,

i ai na makou no keia la. E kala mai hoi ia makou i ka makou lawehala ana,

me makou e kala nei i ka poe i lawehala i ka makou. Mai hookuu oe ia makou i ka hoowalewale ia mai; E hoopakele no na e ia makou i ka ina;

No ka mea, nou ke aupuni, a me ka mana, a me ka hoonaniia, a mau loa aku.

Amen 

ST. FRANCIS OF ASISI
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy
