He tuhinga tuuroro ki konei
HE WHAKAMAHI he maha nga Katorika e aro nui ana ki te mataku i te mea kei te haere tonu te Hinota i runga i te Whana i Roma ki te tohetohe, kei te inoi au kia kitea e etahi atu tetahi mea ke: Kei te whakakitea mai e te Atua o tatou mate ki enei mea katoa. Kei te whakaatuhia mai e ia ki tana Hahi to tatou whakapehapeha, to tatou whakapae, ta tatou tutu, akene ko te mea ke pea, ko te kore whakapono.
Ehara hoki te Karaitianatanga me te whakaoranga i te mea tino uaua. He tino māmā noa iho, e ai ki tā Hato Paora e whakamahara mai nei i roto i te pānui tuatahi o te rā:
Kaua te hara e kingi ki roto i ō koutou tinana mate, e ngohengohe ai koutou ki ō rātou hiahia… Kāore ianei koutou i te mātau, ki te tuku koutou i a koutou ki tētahi hei pononga, he pononga koutou nā te tangata e ngohengohe ana koutou ki a ia; nā te hara rānei, a mate iho, nā te ngohengohe rānei, a tika ake?
E rua ngā ara mō ia tangata: ko te whai i te hiahia o te Kaihanga, ko te whai rānei i tō ake hiahia. Ko te whai i tō ake hiahia e whakahē ana i ngā ture a te Atua ka kiia ko te "hara". Ā, ka arahina tēnei ki te mate: te pōuri i roto i ō tātou ngākau, te pōuri i roto i ngā whanaungatanga, te pōuri i roto i ō tātou tāone, te pōuri i roto i ō tātou iwi, me te pōuri i roto i te ao. Nō reira, ko Ihu, "te māramatanga o te ao",[1]cf. Ioane 8:11 i haere mai ki te whakaora i a tātou i tēnei pōuri, i te mana o te hara e ārahi ana ki te herehere.
Ko te mārama pono, e whakamārama ana i ngā tāngata katoa, e haere mai ana ki te ao… ko te hunga e noho ana i te pōuri kua kite i te māramatanga nui; kua whiti te māramatanga ki te hunga e noho ana i te whenua i taumarumaruhia e te mate. (Hoani 1:9; Matiu 4:16)
E mea ana ahau ko te Karaiti, tō tātou māramatanga, kei te whakamārama i te whakapehapeha me te whakaaro nui o te Hāhi i tēnei wā—ina koa ko te hunga "kāwanatanga"—nā te mea kua wareware te tokomaha ko ngā mea katoa i riro i a rātou he aroha noa. He ngāwari te noho whakawā i ngā pīhopa, ngā pirihi, āe, ngā pāpa, me te whakahē i ō rātou hapa. He ngāwari te pānui i ngā pane o ngā purongo me te tohu i ngā maihao ki ngā tauiwi. Engari kua wareware te tangata pēnei ehara i te mea he kai tono noa ia i pahemo atu te Ariki, ā, i whakaarahia ake i te awaawa, engari he kai tono tonu ia, ko ia manawa i roto i ōna pukahukahu he koha nō te Ariki kotahi. Ko ia witi o te pai me te tapu he aroha noa—he aroha noa katoa.
Nāna koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu… kia rite ai ki te mea kua tuhituhia, "Ki te whakamanamana tetahi, me whakamanamana ia ki te Ariki." (1 Koriniti 1:30-31)
E mea ana ahau ko te Karaiti, tō tātou māramatanga, kei te whakamārama i te tutu me te kore whakapono o te Hāhi—ina koa ko te hunga "rīperare"—nā te mea he tokomaha kua wareware (kua āta wareware rānei) ki te Rongopai o te ripeneta. Kua whakapehapeha rātou i roto i ā rātou whakaaro, ā, kua mataku hoki i te taha tōrangapū kua tinihanga i a rātou anō ki te whakapono ehara te hara i te mea koia tonu: ko te mea "e arahi ana ki te mate."
E ngā teina, e ngā tuahine, kua tukuna e Hātana he awa nui o te tinihanga ki runga i tō tātou ao, engari ko te mea nui rawa atu ko te Hāhi.
Heoi, i whakaruakina e te nakahi he awa wai i roto i tona mangai i muri i te wahine ra ka tahia atu e te waipuke. (Apo 12:15)
Ko tenei pakanga e kitea ana e tatou… [ki] nga mana e whakangaro ana i te ao, e korerohia ana i te upoko 12 o te Whakakitenga ... E kiia ana ko te tarakona te arahi i te wai nui ki te wahine e rere ana, ki te whakawhiu i a ia… Ki taku mahara he maamaa ki te whakamaori i te tikanga o te awa: ma enei awa e kaha ake ai te katoa, me te hiahia ki te whakakore i te whakapono o te Hahi, me te mea nei kaore he tu ki te aroaro o te mana o enei auawai e kii ana ko raatau anake te huarahi o te whakaaro, ko te ara noa o te ora. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, huihuinga tuatahi o te Hinota motuhake i te Middle East, Oketopa 10, 2010
Heoi, i te wā e wareware ai tātou he hunga tono moni tātou, wareware tonu tātou kei te tono mai a Ihu i a tātou, ehara i te whakapono anake engari ko te ngohengohe, ehara i te whakapono anake engari ko te aroha, ehara i te tika anake engari ko te aroha, ehara i te aroha anake engari ko te tika… ko reira anō hoki tātou ka tūpono ai kia kahakina e ngā iahiko o te whakapehapeha, te whakahihi, te ngākau māhaki me te matapo.
Ko te Katorika kaore e tino noho pono ana i runga i te Whakapono e kii ana ia kaore ia e roa ka rangatira i a ia ano i enei ra ka pupuhi te hau o te riri me nga whakatoi, engari ka ngaro rawa atu i tenei waipuke hou e whakawehi ana i te ao. . Ana, i a ia e whakarite ana i tana ake whakangaromanga, kei te kii ia ki te tawai i te ingoa ake o te Karaitiana. —POPE Whakaahua XI, Divini Kaituku "I te Atismistic Communism", n. 43; Poutu-te-rangi 19, 1937
Nō reira, ko te Rongopai o tēnei rā he whakatūpato ki te hunga kua moe i roto i tō rātou whakapono—ahakoa pēhea.
Kia mataara hoki koutou, i te haora e kore ai koutou e whakaaro, ka tae mai te Tama a te tangata… Ko wai ra te kaitiaki pono, te kaitiaki mahara, e meinga e te rangatira hei kaitiaki mō āna pononga, hei tohatoha i te kai i te wā tika? Ka hari taua pononga ki te rokohanga e tōna rangatira e mahi ana i tēnā. (Te Rongopai o te Rā)
Ko te whakautu ki tēnei He Mahinga Nui, ā, ko te ngangau e haere mai nei, ko te tango noa i te kupu a tō tātou Ariki: kia whakapono ki a Ia pērā i te tamaiti; kia ripeneta i ō tātou hara pērā i te hunga hara; ā, kia rapu i Tōna kaha pērā i te tangata rawakore e tono ana kia āwhina i a tātou kia noho i roto i te māramatanga: "E Ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha mai ki ahau… E te Kaiwhakaako, e hiahia ana ahau kia kite." [2]Mark 10: 47, 51
Hei mahara ki tera he aroha noa te katoa. Ā, ki te mahara koe, he atawhai anō hoki tēnā.
I te whakatikanga mai o te tangata ki a tātou, kua horomia oratia tātou e rātou… Kua taupokina tātou e ngā wai; kua taupokina tātou e te awa; kua taupokina tātou e ngā wai whakahihi. Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, kihai nei i whakarere i a tātou. he taonga parakete mā ō rātou niho… I whati te mahanga, ā, i whakaorangia tātou. Kei te ingoa o Ihowā tō tātou awhina, nāna nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua. (Waiata o te rā)
Kia rite tō ipu hinu
Mō ngā mahi tika me ngā mahi whakahirahira,
He nui hei pupuri
Kei te mura tō rama
Kei puritia koe i waho
Ina tae mai Ia.
Kaua e mangere.
