Wi konei te haerenga o te Atua? He pātai tēnei kua pātaihia e te tini o tātou i roto i ngā whakamātautau nui, i te maroke o te wairua, me ngā whakamātautau tino uaua. Ae, e mōhio ana tātou i roto i ō tātou hinengaro kāore te Atua, e noho ana i ngā wāhi katoa, i haere ki hea; e kī ana ia ki a tātou i roto i ngā Karaipiture ka noho ia ki a tātou "tae noa ki te mutunga o te ao."[1]Matt 28: 20 Ka mau katoa ēnei mea ki te mahunga… engari he maha ngā wā kei roto i te ngākau tātou e whāwhā ana i roto i te pōuri, e rapu ana i a Ia e arohaina ana e tātou.
Neke atu i te kotahi taku kīnga atu, "E Ihu, me i taea e au te noho tahi me koe mō te hawhe haora, me te kōrero tahi, kua pai ahau." Ae ra, e kore rawa e ranea - ka tono ahau kia noho tahi me ia anō, anō. Nō reira, kei te huna tonu ia i ōku hinengaro, ahakoa ka waiatatia mai e te ao katoa tana waiata aroha ki a tātou i ia ata.
I whakaaroaro ahau mō te āhua o te huna tonu o te Atua i roto i te Māra o Ētene, i mua i te Hinganga. I tino rongo a Ātama i tōna aroaro, i whakaahuatia i roto i te huarahi ahuareka:
A ka rongo raua i te reo o Ihowa, o te Atua, e haereere ana i te kari i te hauhautanga o te ra… ko te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Atua, i roto i nga rakau o te kari. (Genesis 3: 8)
Te Kimi i te Atua — i roto i te Hapori
Ahakoa rā, i kite te Ariki ko Ātama "ko ia anake." Nō reira i hanga ai e Ia a Īwa:
Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, E kore e pai kia noho ko ia anake; me hanga e ahau tetahi hoa mahi mona. (Genesis 2: 18)
I whakaaro tonu te Atua kia kitea, kia wheakohia hoki Ia e tātou, i roto i tētahi taumata, i tētahi atu rānei, whanaunga tetahi ki tetahi. I hono tata a Ihu i ngā ture, "Kia aroha koe ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua, me tou ngākau katoa..." ki te "aroha ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe."[2]Matt 22: 37-39 Me te mea nei ka tutuki noa tō tātou tino oranga i roto i tēnei hononga ki te Atua a ētahi atu. Ko te aroha ki te hoa tata "ka kati i te ara iahiko," me te mea nei, ka tukuna te ora o te Atua kia rere mā roto i a tātou ki te hunga e karapoti ana i a tātou (he pono tēnei mō te tangata whakapono, e aroha ana ki tōna hoa tata mā te inoi me te ripeneta).
Ahakoa kua kōrerotia tēnei e au i tētahi atu wāhi (tirohia ngā kōrero iti), he mea nui kia whakanuia anō te hiranga o te hapori Karaitiana pono — te whakawhanaungatanga ki ētahi atu whakapono. Ki te rapu koe i te Atua, kotahi te wāhi e tino kitea ai e koe Ia:
Na, ko te wahi e whakaminea ai te hunga tokorua, tokotoru ranei, i runga i toku ingoa, kei reira ahau kei waenganui i a ratou. (Matt 18: 20)
Ko te kupu,
… Ka waiho te hapori Karaitiana hei tohu mo te aroaro o te Atua i te ao.-Ad Gentes Atua, Vatican II, n.15
Ma konei ka matau ai te katoa, he akonga koutou naku, me ka aroha koutou tetahi ki tetahi. (John 13: 35)
He maha ngā take e nui ake ai te mokemoke o te tangata i ēnei rā — ko te hangarau tētahi o aua take. Kua whakakapia e tātou aroaro me ngā tuhinga, ā mātou reo me ngā īmēra, ā mātou mahi hohe whakarongo me ngā "pai." Kāore anō māua kia "pāpā" pēnei te tawhiti, engari kua kore rawa e pāpā.
Ko tāku e pai ai ki te kī, ko te hapori te "waru" o ngā sakarameta. E hia ngā wā kua kite ahau i te aroaro o te Ariki - Tōna aroha, tōna whakaora, tōna whakahoutanga, tōna whakaaro nui me tōna whakamanawa mā roto i te hapori! Koinei te hoahoa ā-roto a te Atua mai i te tīmatanga o te ao, he hoahoa e kitea ana tōna hua i roto i te Tinana o te Karaiti!
Ko te Hāhi i tēnei ao te sakarameta o te whakaoranga, te tohu me te taputapu o te hui o te Atua me te tangata. -Catechism o te Ekalesia Katorika (CCC), n. 780
Tērā pea ko tēnei whakaaroaro tuatahi mō te hapori he akiaki mai i te Ariki ki ētahi o koutou kia rapu i ngā whakapono rite te whakaaro, e ngākau nui ana ki a Ihu. E oati ana hoki te Ariki ka tūtaki ia ki a koutou i reira: i ngā wāhi katoa e huihui ai te tokorua, te tokotoru rānei i runga i Tōna Ingoa.
Te Mamae o Nada
Engari ko te hapori tētahi o ngā taputapu o te aroaro o te Atua. Ko te Eukariha, koia nei te aroaro nui o te Atua me tana Iwi. Ki te hiahia koe ki te noho tahi me Ihu, haere noa ki tō Whare Karakia o tō rohe, ka noho ki mua i te tapenakara, i te monstrance rānei.[3]kite Te Kai Tuturu, Te Tika Mau E ai ki te Curé o Ars:
Ka titiro ahau ki a Ia, ā, ka titiro mai Ia ki ahau. —Hāta Hoani Vianney, CCC nama 2715
Engari ina mea koe, au rānei "I hea te Atua i haere ai?"," ko tā mātou e kī nei, kua ngaro katoa i a tātou ngā wheako hinengaro me ngā wheako wairua o Tōna aroaro — i mua atu i te Eucharist. E maroke ana tātou, e kore e hihiri, e kore e māhorahora. He uaua ā tātou wā inoi… He mahi uaua te Misa… he pakanga kī tonu i ngā mea whakararuraru me te hoha te ngana ki te arotahi ki te Atua. Tērā pea ka rongo tātou i tēnei i ngā wāhi katoa e huihui ana te tokorua, te tokotoru rānei i runga i Tōna Ingoa![4]kite Wahanga Tuawha o te Catechism o te Ekalesia Katorika mō ngā āhuatanga katoa o te inoi, tae atu ki ngā pakanga o roto me ō rātou kaupapa huna. Na, kei te pehea?
He pono, ka tae mai te wā ka mea te Matua ki ia o āna tamariki: kua tae te wā ki te neke atu i te ngokingoki ki te hikoi, mai i te hikoi ki te oma, mai i te oma ki te Tuhinga o mua i roto i te oranga wairua.[5]Tiuteronomi 32:11-13: "Ka rite ki te ekara e whakakorikori ana i ana pi, e rere ana i runga i ana pi, e whera ana i ona pakau, e tango ana i a ratou, e waha ana i a ratou i runga i ona parirau. Ko Ihowa anake ratou i arahi, kahore hoki he atua ke i a ratou. Nana ratou i mea kia piki ki nga tihi o te whenua…." Kāore rawa he pānga ki ngā kare ā-roto me ngā kare ā-roto. Engari, ko te kukume hohonu atu ki roto i te ngākau o te Atua, ki te kotahitanga ki a Ia me te Hiahia Atua. E ai ki a Hato Hoani o te Ripeka, me haere tātou i roto i te "nada" - te kore noa iho - te piri ki te kore noa iho, tae atu ki ngā whakamarie wairua, kia tae atu ai ki te kotahitanga parakore ki te Atua. Kāore he hononga katoa ki te Atua me te kore tēnei purenga.[6]Ehara te Purekōtori i te "tūponotanga tuarua" ehara hoki i te kōwhiringa tuatoru i waenganui i te Rangi me te Reinga. Ko te tukanga atua nui tēnei mō te pure i te wairua kua whakaorangia kētia, mō te whakatapu i te tangata kāore anō kia tino tika i roto i te aroha, ahakoa kua whakatikaia ia e te aroha noa.
Ko ahau te waina pono, ko toku Matua te kaimahi waina. Ko nga manga katoa i roto i ahau e kore e whai hua, ka tangohia e ia; ko te hunga katoa e mahi ana, ka tapatapahia e ia kia nui ake ai ngā hua. (John 15: 1-2)
Nā, tirohia, tera pea kei te pāngia koe e tēnei koraha nā te mea kua hua koe, ā, me tapatapahia anō kia hua ake ai! He tohu tēnei kei te karanga te Atua i a koe ki te hohonu. Heoi anō, he mamae, ā, mō te nuinga o tātou, he tukanga ora tonu tēnei o te Atua e whakaatu ana i ā tātou whakapakoko me ngā patunga e pā mai ana i a rātou.
Mō tēnei tipu o te te oranga o roto, kua tuhia ngā pukapuka me ngā tuhinga roa i ngā rautau kua pahure ake nei, nō reira ka neke atu ahau ki te pūtake o te tumanako ki te hunga o koutou e noho ana i roto i te pouri me ngā whakamātautau o tēnei koraha o nāianei…
Te matewai ki te Atua
Ka taea e koe te whakawhirinaki ki tēnei me te tino pono: ki te rapu koe i te Atua, ka e kitea Ia.
E arohaina ana e ahau te hunga e aroha ana ki ahau; ko te hunga hoki e rapu puku ana i ahau, ka kite ratou i ahau. (Paerewa 8: 17)
te Douay-Reims e mea ana te putanga: "E aroha ana ahau ki te hunga e aroha ana ki ahau: ko te hunga e mataara ana i te atatu ki ahau, ka kite i ahau." Ko te whakaaro, mai i te wā tuatahi o te oho ake, ka whakatakotoria e tātou te Atua ki mua; ka "rapua e tātou te rangatiratanga o te Atua me tōna tika i te tuatahi."[7]Matt 6: 33
Ko te kupu matua i runga ake nei hei mahi i tēnei mārie. I penei ta Ihu korero:
Inoia, ā ka whiwhi koutou; rapua, ā ka kitea e koutou; patuki, ā ka uakina te tatau ki a koutou. (Luke 11: 9)
Engari he aha kei tērā taha o te tatau?
Nana, tenei ahau te tu nei i te tatau, e patukituki ana: ki te whakarongo tetahi ki toku reo, a ka uaki i te tatau, ka tomo ahau ki roto ki tona whare, ka kai tahi maua, ko ia hoki ki ahau. (Revelation 3: 20)
He kōrero hohonu tā te Katekihama mō tēnei patuki, ko koe kei tetahi taha o te tatau, ko Ihu kei tera taha:
Ko Ia te tuatahi e rapu ana i a tātou, e tono ana hoki i tētahi inu mā tātou. E matewai ana a Ihu; ko tana tono e puta mai ana i te hohonutanga o te hiahia o te Atua mō tātou. Ahakoa e mōhio ana tātou, kāore rānei, ko te inoi te tūtakitanga o te hiahia o te Atua ki ō tātou. E matewai ana te Atua kia matewai tātou ki a Ia. (CCC, 2560)
Ki te whakaae koe ki tēnei, ka rerekē ngā mea katoa. Ki te mea koe kei te rapu koe i te Atua, kia mōhio koe kua rapua koe e ia i te tuatahi…
Kei hea koe?
Engari, mēnā ko te mea tuatahi e rapuhia ana e tātou i te ata ko tā tātou waea, ko tā tātou īmēra, ko ngā pāpāho pāpori, me ngā purongo o ia rā… kāore he mea miharo ka ngaro te rangimārie me te wairua o te aroaro o te Atua — i mua i te parakuihi! Kua tahuri kē tātou i te Puna Ora ki te inu, i te nuinga o te wā, i ngā paru o te ao.
I muri i te hinganga o Ātama rāua ko Īwi i te Kāri, i pātai te Atua ki a rāua:
Kei hea Koe? (Genesis 3: 9)
Ae, ka uru tātou ki ngā raruraru koretake; ka whiriwhiri tātou i te hara; ka peke atu tātou i ngā mea whakararuraru katoa; ka whiriwhiri tātou i ngā whakamatautauranga poto o tēnei ao… ā, i te wā ka pōuri tātou, ka ngākau pouri. Kāore tātou e hiahia ki te inoi. Ka mate ake tātou i roto, ki te kore e whakama i te mea kua whakarērea noa e tātou tō tātou wā, kaua ki te whakapau ki te Ariki, ki te mahi rānei i te mahi o te wā. Nō reira,
Ka whakahoki a Ātama, "I rongo ahau i a koe i te kari; heoi i wehi ahau, nō te mea i tu tahanga ahau, nā reira i piri ai ahau." (Genesis 3: 10)
I tuhituhi a Hato Hoani o te Ripeka, "Ka taea te pupuri i te manu ki te mekameka, ki te miro rānei, engari kāore e taea te rere."[8]op cit ., potae. xi. (tirohia. Te pikinga o Maunga Karamere, Pukapuka I, n. 4) E hiahia ana te Atua kia rere tātou ki Tōna aroaro, ki roto i ōna ringa, engari kua whiriwhiria e tātou ā tātou whakapakoko me ā tātou whakamarie. E hiahia ana tātou ki te mahi ki te Atua me te mamona — ā, e pouri ana tātou mōna — nā te mea whakarērea mātou o te whakahoahoa pono, o te whanaungatanga ki te Atua.
E kore e taea e tetahi te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua. Ka kino ranei ia ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi, ka piri ranei ki tetahi ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e ahei ia koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga. (Matthew 6: 24)
Koia te take i tīmata ai te Pukapuka o te Whakaaro Nui:
Ka kitea ia e te hunga e kore e whakamatautau i a ia, e whakaatu ana i a ia ki te hunga e kore e whakapono ki a ia. (Te paari o Solomona 1:2)
Ki te mea kei te whakaaro koe kua "ngaro te Atua" i a koe, kua kotiti kē atu rānei Ia i a koe, pātai atu ki a koe anō me te pono: "Ko ahau rānei kua kotiti ke atu i a Ia?" Mena koinā, he rongo pai tēnei:
…ki te rapu koe i reira i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, na ka kitea e koe, ki te whakapaua katoatia tou ngakau me tou wairua ki te rapu i a ia. (Deuteronomy 4: 29)
Hei hoki atu ki tō "Aroha tuatahi,” te aroha ki te Atua ahakoa kāore he mea e pā ana ki a koe.
Kāore rānei koe i kotiti ke atu i te Atua, engari kei te noho pono koe ki tāna Kupu, heoi anō, kua maroke tō wairua. Ahakoa pēhea, ko tēnei ara o manawanui, ahakoa te whakaaro "nada," koinei te huarahi tino tika ki te kimi anō i te Atua.
Ko te aroha te pūtake o te inoi; ko te tangata e tango ana i te aroha, ka tae ki te tihi o te inoi.—CCC, 2658
