Waiata a te Kaitiaki

Ko te Piiraa

I noho ahau i te piana i toku kainga e waiata ana "Sanctus" (mai i taku pukaemi Tenei Ko Koe).

I taua wa, ka puta ake tenei matekai e kore e taea te whakamarama i roto i ahau ki te toro atu ki a Ihu i roto i te Whare Taonga. Ua pou au i roto i te pereoo, e tau minuti i muri iho, te ninii ra vau i to’u aau e to’u varua i mua Ia’na i roto i te hoê Ekalesia nehenehe no Ukraine i te oire ta’u e ora ra i taua taime ra. I reira, i mua i te aro o te Fatu, i reira to‘u faarooraa i te piiraa no roto mai ia pahono i te piiraa a Ioane Paulo II i te feia apî ia riro ei “tia‘i” i te omuaraa o te mileniuma apî (a tai‘o i te taatoaraa o te iteraa papû no te ohipa i tupu i roto i te Ekalesia i taua mahana ra. i roto Ka karanga ki te pakitara):

E nga rangatahi, tena koutou kia tae atu kaitiaki o te ata e whakaatu ana i te taenga mai o te ra ko te Karaiti Aranga! —POPE JUAN PAUL II, Karere a te Matua Tapu ki nga Rangatahi o te Ao, XVII Ao Tangata Rangatahi, n. 3; (cf. Ko te 21: 11-12)

 Ko tetahi o nga karaipiture i arahina mai ahau e te Ariki i taua wa ko Ezekiel Chapter 33:

I puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea, E te tama a te tangata, korero ki tou iwi, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te kawea e ahau te hoari ki tetahi whenua... a ka kite te kaitiaki i te hoari e haere mai ana ki te whenua, me whakatangi e ia te tetere hei whakatupato i te iwi... Kua whakaritea koe e ahau hei kaitiaki mo te whare o Iharaira; ina rongo koe i te kupu a toku mangai, me whakatupato ratou e koe ki ahau. (Ezekiel 33: 1-7)

He kupu whakapouri, ahakoa rā, i kite tonu ahau i te aroha o te Ariki i roto i taua kupu… he aroha mō tātou katoa.

Ehara tēnei mahi i te mahi e whiriwhiria e te tangata. He nui te utu: te tawai, te wehewehe, te kore aro, te ngaronga o ngā hoa, o te whānau, tae noa ki te ingoa pai. I tētahi atu taha, kua ngāwari te mahi i ētahi wā nā te Ariki. Nā te mea ko taku mahi he whakahoki noa i ngā kupu a ngā pāpa kua whakapuaki mārama rawa atu i te tumanako me te mau tamataraa e tatari ana ki tenei whakatupuranga. Ae ra, na Benedict ake ano i kii ko te tere o te wehe atu i nga momo tikanga morare i o tatou nei waa inaianei kua tupono pea te "ao kei te heke mai." ^[1]kiteI te Eva Ahakoa rā, i inoi anō ia mō tētahi "Penekota hou" me te karanga i ngā rangatahi kia noho hei "poropiti o tētahi ao hou" o te aroha, te rangimārie, me te mana i te Rā Rangatahi o te Ao i Poihākena.

Na te Wairua i whakakaha, a i runga i te tirohanga matakite o te whakapono, ka karangahia he whakatupuranga hou o nga Karaitiana ki te awhina ki te hanga ao e powhiri ai, e whakaute ana, e poipoia ai te koha a te Atua… He tau hou e puta ai te tumanako i a tatou mai i te wairangi. te ngakaukore, me te ngongo-whaiaro e mate ai o tatou wairua, ka paitini ai o tatou hononga. E hoa ma, e hoa ma, e tono ana te Ariki kia haere mai koutou he poropiti o tenei ao hou… —POPE KAUPAPA XVI, Homily, Day Rangatahi o te Ao, Poihākena, Ahitereiria, Hōngongoi 20, 2008

Engari kāore i mutu i reira te Karaipiture a Ehekiera i runga ake nei mōku. Kei te haere tonu te Ariki ki te whakaahua i te mea ka pā ki te kaitiaki:

E haere mai ana taku iwi ki a koe, e huihui ana, e noho ana i mua i a koe ki te whakarongo ki āu kupu, engari e kore rātou e mahi i aua kupu. Kei roto i ō rātou ngutu ngā waiata aroha, engari i roto i ō rātou ngākau e whai ana rātou i te taonga tinihanga. Ki a rātou he kaiwaiata noa koe i ngā waiata aroha, he reo reka, he pārekareka hoki. E whakarongo ana rātou ki āu kupu, engari e kore rātou e whakarongo ki aua kupu… (Ezekiel 33: 31-32)

Ko te "Ripoata"

I te ra i tuhituhi ai ahau i taku "purongo" ki te Matua Tapu (tirohia E te Matua Tapu E haere mai ana!), he whakarāpopototanga o te mea kua "kite" ahau me te "kite" e haere mai ana i roto i nga tau kei mua, taku pukaemi hou o "waiata aroha", He kino, i whakaritea mō te hanga. E whakaae ana ahau, i te mea he tūponotanga noa iho, nā te mea kāore i whakaritea pērā. Koinei noa ngā waiata e takoto ana i reira i whakaaro ahau e hiahia ana te Ariki kia tuhia.

Ka pātai atu anō ahau ki ahau anō, kei te whai tetahi tino i rongo i ngā tangi me ngā whakatūpato… ina koa i te mea ka hōhonu haere te ao ki roto i te pōuri me te whenua kāore i mōhiotia e te tangata i ngā whakatupuranga o mua? Ae, he torutoru ngā wairua. Ko ngā kōrero tahuritanga kua pānuihia e au hei hua o tēnei mahi minita kua meinga ahau kia tangi i ētahi wā. Ko āu reta me tō tautoko he whakatenatena i hiahiatia e au kia noho ki raro i tētahi atu rā ka tuhituhi.

Heoi anō, e hia i roto i te Hāhi kua rongo i ngā whakatūpato, kua aro ki te karere o te Aroha me te tumanako e tatari ana ki te hunga katoa e awhi ana i a Ihu? I te takanga o te ao me te taiao ki roto i te pōrearea, me te mea nei kei te āhua nei te iwi e kore e taea e whakarongo mai, he whakaaturanga whakamataku rawa tēnei ki ahau. Me te mea nei kei te wehewehea tātou inaianei ki E rua nga puniHe mea tino uaua te whakataetae mō ō tātou kare ā-roto me te wā mā roto i ngā pāpāho pāpori me ngā whakangahau.

Ina hoki, i taua ata i karanga ahau e te Ariki ki mua i te Hakarameta Tapu, koinei tētahi o ngā Karaipiture i pānuihia e au:

Na ka rongo ahau i te reo o te Ariki e mea ana, Ko wai taku e unga ai? Ma wai tatou e rapu? "Anei ahau", i kii ahau; "Tukua ahau!" Ano ra ko ia: "Haere, mea atu ki tenei iwi, Whakarongo, kaua e matau! Titiro marie, heoi kahore e kite; Kia puhoi te ngakau o tenei iwi, puhoi o ratou taringa, a ka kati o ratou kanohi. Kei kite o ratou kanohi, ka rongo o ratou taringa, a ka matau o ratou ngakau, a ka tahuri, ka whakaorangia.

“Kia pēhea te roa, e te Ariki?” i pātai ahau. Ā, ka whakahoki ia, “Kia ururuatia rā anō ngā pā, kia kore he tangata noho, kia kore he whare, kia kore he tangata, kia ururuatia rawatia te whenua. Kia tonoa rā anō e Ihowa te iwi ki tawhiti, kia nui hoki te ururua i waenganui i te whenua.” (Isaiah 6: 8-12)

Whakarongo ki te waiata a Maka "Kia pēhea te roa?"

Me te mea nei kei te tukuna e te Ariki āna karere kia hinga, kia waiho hei "tohu whakahē". Ina whakaarohia ngā poropiti o te Kawenata Tawhito - a Hoani Kaiiriiri, a Hato Paora, me tō tātou Ariki tonu, me te mea nei kei roto tonu i taua purapura te puna o te Hāhi: te toto o ngā mātārai.

Mena kaore te kupu i huri, ka huri te toto. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, mai i te whiti “Stanislaw”

Te ngoikore o te Kaitiaki

Kua ngana ahau ki te pono, ka ngana ki te tuhi i nga mea katoa i mahara ahau e kii mai ana te Ariki — kaore i te mea e hiahia ana ahau ki te korero. Kei te mahara ahau ki nga tau tuatahi e rima o tenei tuhinga apotoro, i tino awangawanga ahau kei pohehe noa nga wairua. Kia whakapaingia te Atua mo aku kaiarahi wairua i roto i nga tau kua roa nei e pono ana mo te mahi tiaki hipi a te Ariki. Heoi, i a au e tirotiro ana i taku ake hinengaro, ka taea e au te whakahua i nga kupu a St. Gregory the Great:.

E te tama a te tangata, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei kaitutei ma te whare o Iharaira. Kia mahara ko te tangata e tonoa ana e te Ariki hei kaikauwhau, ka kiia he kaitiaki. Ko te kaitutei i nga wa katoa e tu ana i runga i te teitei kia mohio ai ia i nga mea i tawhiti. Ko te tangata kua whakatohungia hei kaitiaki mo te iwi, me tu ia i runga i te teitei mo tona koiora ki te awhina i a raatau i mua i tana tirohanga. He uaua ki ahau te korero i tenei: na enei kupu tonu ra ahau. Kaore e taea e au te kaha ki te kauwhau, engari ki te angitu au, kaore tonu ahau i te ora i taku ora e ai ki aku ake kauwhau. Kaore au e whakakahore i taku kawenga; Kei te mohio ahau he mangere au, he mangere hoki, engari akene ko te whakaae mai ki taku he taku e murua ai e taku kaiwhakawa tika. —St. Gregory te Nui, kaainga, Tuhinga o mua, Vol. IV, wh. 1365-66

Ko ngā mea katoa i kōrerotia e tōu arero kia mahara ki a koe, mahia; kia rite ki tāu i ki taurangi ai ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, i whakapuakina e tōu mangai. (Deuteronomy 23: 24)

Mōku nei, e tono ana ahau kia murua e te Tinana o te Karaiti mō ngā huarahi katoa i kore ai ahau e whakapuaki i te tumanako harikoa me te koha, arā, te karere o te whakaoranga, i roto i te kupu, i te mahi rānei. E mōhio ana hoki ahau kua whakarōpūtia aku tuhinga e ētahi hei "pōuri me te pōuri." Ae, e mārama ana ahau he aha rātou i kī ai i tēnā, inā koa kāore anō kia pānuihia te whānuitanga o ngā mea kua tuhia ki konei - nō reira, koia te take i whakarongo tonu ai ahau ki ngā whakatūpato kaha a ngā pāpa (tirohia He aha Kaore nga Papa e hamama?a Kupu me nga Whakatupato).

Heoi, kāore au e whakapāha mō te whakatangi i te tetere whakatūpato, te kōrero i ngā kupu matakite hei whakaara i ngā wairua. Ko te aroha hoki tēnā i roto i te huna o te pono. He mahi anō hoki tēnei māku ake:

Ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kua whakaritea e ahau he kaitutei mō te whare o Iharaira; ki te rongo koe i ahau e kōrero ana, me whakatūpato koe i a rātou mōku… [engari] ki te kore koe e kōrero hei akiaki i te tangata kino ki tana ara, ka mate te tangata kino i runga i tōna he, engari ka whai utu ahau mō tōna matenga i a koe. (Ez 33:7-9)

I te nuinga o te wā, ina koa ka tohu ahau ki te "hoari" e haere mai ana ki tō tātou whakatupuranga, ka rongo ahau i te pakanga ā-roto o Heremaia:

I aku kōrerotanga katoa, ka karanga ahau, ka kauwhau i te tutu me te whakahihi: kua waiho te kupu a Ihowa hei tawainga moku, hei whakatoi i te ra katoa. Ka mea ahau, E kore ahau e whakahua i a ia, E kore ahau e korero i runga i tona ingoa. Engari i taua wa ka rite ki te ahi e ngiha ana i roto i toku ngakau, kua mau ki roto i oku wheua; ka ngenge ahau i te pupuri, e kore e taea e au! (Jeremiah 20: 8-9)

Me pēhea rā ahau e whakakahore ai i a Ia, kihai nei i whakakahore i ahau — i tuku mai hoki i Tōna ora?

Engari ehara i te mea he whakatūpato katoa, e ai ki te tirohanga poto o aku tuhinga i konei, me taku pukapuka anō hoki. Te Whakakitenga Whakamutunga (me Nihil Obstat). Waihoki, mō ngā pāpa. Ahakoa he tautohetohe mō te pontificate, ko te mauri o te mea i ngana a Pāpa Francis ki te tohu mai ki a tātou i roto i ā tātou whakaakoranga katoa, ngā katekihama, ngā ensicyclical, ngā dogma, ngā kaunihera me ngā canons o te Hāhi… he hononga hohonu, me te whaiaro ki a Ihu.^[2]kite Whanaungatanga Whaiaro me Ihu I whakanuia anō e ia te hiranga o te ngāwari, te pono, te rawakore, me te ngākau mahaki, me noho hei āhua o te Iwi o te Atua. Me whakakite e tātou ki te ao te kanohi pono o Ihu mā te misioni aroha me te atawhai, ā, ko te tohu o te Hāhi he iwi whakamoemiti, tumanako, me te harikoa. 

Ko te akonga hei tiimata ma te koiora ora o te Atua me tona aroha. Ehara i te mea pumau, engari he haere tonu ki te Karaiti; ehara ko te pono anake ki te whakaahuru i tetahi tikanga pono, engari te wheako o te noho o te Ariki, te atawhai me te noho kaha, he kaupapa haere tonu ma te whakarongo ki tana kupu… Kia u, kia u, kia watea i roto i a te Karaiti, kia rite ki ta koutou whakaatu i a ia i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe; haere i runga i te ara o Ihu me to kaha katoa, matau ki a ia, whakaae kia karangahia koe kia whakaakona e ia, kia panui ki a ia me te hari nui ... Me inoi tatou ma te inoi a to Tatou Whaea… kia haere tahi mai ia me ta matau huarahi he akonga, na reira, ki te tuku o tatou ora ki a te Karaiti, ka waiho noa hei mihinare e kawe ana i te maarama me te koa o te Rongopai ki nga taangata katoa. —POPE FRANCIS, Homily, Mass i Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport i Medellin, Columbia, Hepetema 9th, 2017; ewtnnews.com

Heoi anō, i mea ia i roto i tētahi kauwhau, "Me 'whakakorikori' te Hāhi e te Wairua Tapu kia taea ai e ia te tuku i ngā whakamarie me ngā herenga." ^[3]Kauwhau, Misa i te Taunga Rererangi o Enrique Olaya Herrera i Medellin, Columbia; ewtnnews.com Ae, koinei tonu te korero a to maatau Whaea puta noa i te ao: a Haapaoho Nuie hiahiatia ana hei whakaara i tētahi Hāhi e moe ana, me tētahi ao kua mate i roto i ōna hara. Ehara ianei tātou i taua "iwi e noho ana i te pōuri"^[4]Matthew 4: 16 anō i te mea e ahua nei kua ruku anō te ao ki roto i te karakia whakapakoko?

Ko to tatou tino hiamoe ki te aroaro o te Atua e kore ai tatou e aro ki te kino: kaore tatou e whakarongo ki te Atua na te mea kaore tatou e hiahia kia whakararuraruhia, no reira ka noho tauhou tonu ki te kino. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Catholic News Agency, Vatican City, Apr 20, 2011, Whanui Whanui.

Ko nga hinengaro o tenei iwi e arohaina nei me ruru kaha kia taea ai e ratau te "whakariterite i to ratau whare" ... Kua tata mai te wa nui, he ra tino marama ... ko te haora tenei mo nga taangata. —Te Pononga a te Atua Maria Esperanaza, Karere Tuawhā o Betania, Venezuela (kua whakaaetia); tohu.org

Ngā Wā Whakatau

No reira, ko te ako aroha a te Matua me haere mai… ana ka rite, a He Mahinga Nui. Ko ta te Rangi i whakaroa ai, i whakaroa ai, inaianei kei te tata ki te whakatutukitanga (tirohia. Na Ka Tika Mai Ana):

… Kei te uru koe ki nga waa tino tika, nga wa kua oti koe te whakarite i a au mo nga tau maha. E hia o nga mea ka kahakina e te tupuhi kino e tutu ana ki te tangata. Koinei te wa o te whakamatautau nui; ko taku taima tenei, e nga tamariki i whakatapua ki taku Kauanga Kore. —To tatou Wahine ki te pononga a te Atua Fr. Stefano Gobbi, Pepuere 2, 1994; me Imprimatur Pihopa Donald Montrose

Koinei te wa o te Pakanga Wairua Nui a kaore e taea e koe te oma. E hiahia ana taku Ihu ki a koe. Ko te hunga e tuku ana i a ratau oranga hei taunaki i te pono ka whiwhi ia i te utu nui mai i te Ariki ... I muri i nga mamae katoa, ka tae mai he Taima Hou o te Rongomau mo nga tane me nga waahine whakapono.-Karere a To Tatou Kuini Kuini o te Rongomau ki a Pedro Regis Planaltina, Paenga-whawha 22; 25th, 2017

Kāo, ehara tēnei i te wā tika hei hanga i ngā rua sima, engari hei whakau i ō tātou oranga ki roto i te piringa o te Ngākau TapuKi te tuku i tō tātou whakawhirinaki katoa ki a Ihu, ki te whakarongo, me te kore e whakararuraru, ki Ana ture katoa; ^[5]kite Kia Pono kia aroha ki te Tokotoru Tapu me te ngākau katoa, te wairua katoa, me te kaha katoa. Ā, kia mahia katoatia i roto i te Whaea i homai nei e te Karaiti ki a tātou i raro i te waewae o te Ripeka.^[6]cf. Ioane 19:26 I roto i tenei Way, ko te te parau mau, ka kitea e maatau Life e maarama mai ana ki te ao.

E aku tamariki aroha, apotoro e arohaina e au, kei a koutou te tikanga kia horahia te aroha o taku Tama ki te hunga katoa kaore ano kia mohio; Ko koutou, nga rama iti o te ao, e akoako nei ahau me te aroha o te whaea kia marama ake me te tino marama. Ma te karakia koe e awhina, na te mea na te inoi koe e whakaora, ma te inoi e ora ai te ao… E aku tamariki, kia mataara. He hurihanga tenei waa. Koia ahau ka karanga hou nei ki a koutou ki te whakapono me te tumanako. Kei te whakaatu atu ahau ki a koe i te huarahi e tika ai koe kia haere, ana koina nga kupu o te Rongopai. —Te Lady of Medjugorje ki Mirjana, Paenga-whāwhā 2, 2017; Pipiri 2nd, 2017

Whakarongo ki te waiata "Kei roto i ahau te aroha":

Kaore e taea e au te mohio kei taku pukaemi He kino he rite ki te "pukapuka poto" ki ngā tekau tau e rua kua pahure. Ehara i te mea kua mutu taku tuhituhi, taku kōrero, taku waiata rānei. Kāo, he mea kotahi te rā i ia wā i konei! Engari kei te ora hohonu hoki ahau i ngā kupu a Ehekiera rāua ko Ihaia i tēnei wā, e karanga ana kia hohonu ake te wā me te whakaaroaro, kaua ki te rerenga o ngā tuhituhi o ia rā — inā koa ka tīmata ngā kaupapa o te ao ki te kōrero mō ratou ano.^[7]Whakarongo ki tā te Rangi e kī ana mō ēnei huihuinga ki konei

I ia rā, ka inoi ahau mō aku kaipānui, mō aku kaiwhakarongo, mō aku kaitautoko, ā, kei te mau tonu ahau i a koutou katoa i roto i tōku ngākau me te mea ko tōku whānau tonu koutou. Kia mahara mai hoki ki ahau i roto i ā koutou inoi. E hia ngā wā i whakaaro ai ahau kua tata te mutunga o taku misioni, i muri i te wā o te wahangu, kua tīmata te Ariki ki te kōrero anō i tana "kupu inaianei" ki ō tātou ngākau.  

Kia arohaina, kia whakakororia a Ihu i nga wa katoa, i nga waahi katoa.

Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowa i oku ra katoa.
himene ki toku Atua i ahau e ora nei. 
Whakapaingia te Ariki, e toku wairua.
(Taramo 104)
