Nthawi ya St. Joseph

St. Joseph, wolemba Tianna (Mallett) Williams

 

Nthawi ikubwera, ndipo yafika, pamene mudzabalalitsidwa.
yense kunyumba kwake, ndipo mudzandisiya ndekha.
Komabe sindikhala ndekha chifukwa Atate ali ndi ine.
Ndanena ichi kwa inu, kuti mwa Ine mukhale nawo mtendere.
M'dziko lapansi mukumana ndi chizunzo. Koma limbikani mtima;
Ndaligonjetsa dziko ine!
(John 16: 32-33)

 

LITI gulu lankhosa la Khristu lalandidwa Masakramenti, sanachotsedwe pa Misa, ndipo anamwazikana kunja kwa msipu wa msipu wake, zitha kumva ngati mphindi yakusiyidwa — tate wauzimu. Mneneri Ezekieli analankhula za nthawi ngati imeneyi kuti:

Anabalalika, chifukwa kunalibe m'busa; ndipo zinakhala chakudya cha zirombo zonse. Nkhosa zanga zinabalalika, zinayendayenda pamwamba pa mapiri onse ndi zitunda zonse zazitali; nkhosa zanga zinabalalika ponseponse padziko lapansi, ndipo panalibe wina wakusaka kapena kuwonaek kwa iwo. (Ezekiel 34: 5-6)

Zachidziwikire, ansembe zikwizikwi padziko lonse lapansi atsekeredwa m'matchalitchi awo, akuchita Misa, kupempherera nkhosa zawo. Ndipo komabe, nkhosa zimakhalabe ndi njala, kulirira Mkate wa Moyo ndi Mawu a Mulungu.

Taonani, masiku akubwera… pamene ndidzatumiza njala pa dziko lapansi; osati njala ya mkate, kapena ludzu la madzi, koma kumva mawu a Yehova. (Amosi 8:11)

Koma Yesu, Mbusa Wamkulu, amamva kulira kwa osauka. Iye samasiya konse nkhosa Zake, konse. Atero Ambuye:

Taonani, ine ndidzafunafuna nkhosa zanga ndi kuzifunafuna. Monga mbusa asamalira nkhosa zake pamene zina za nkhosa zake zabalalika, momwemo ndidzasaka nkhosa zanga; ndipo ndidzawapulumutsa m'malo onse kumene anamwazikira tsiku la mitambo ndi mdima wandiweyani. (Ezekieli 34: 11-12)

Chifukwa chake, panthawi yomwe okhulupirika adalandidwa abusa awo, Yesu Mwiniwake wapereka bambo wauzimu mu nthawi ino: Woyera Joseph.

 

NTHAWI YA ST. YOSEFE

Kumbukirani zomwe mayi wathu ndi "galasi" la Mpingo:

Zonsezi zikanenedwa, tanthawuzo likhoza kumveka kwa onse awiri, pafupifupi popanda kuyenerera. -Adala Isaac wa ku Stella, Malangizo a maola, Vol. I, tsa. 252

Itayandikira nthawi yakubadwa kwa Khristu, chochitika chodabwitsa "padziko lonse lapansi" chidachitika.

M'masiku amenewo, Kaisara Augusto analamula kuti anthu onse m'dzikolo alembedwe. (Luka 2: 1)

Mwakutero, Anthu a Mulungu anali yokakamiza kusiya momwe alili ndikubwerera kwawo kuti akakhale "amalembedwa. ” Munali munthawi ya ukapolo ija pomwe Yesu adzabadwire. Momwemonso, Dona Wathu, "mkazi wobvala dzuwa," akugwiranso ntchito kuti abereke mwana lonse Mpingo…

… Akuyimira nthawi yomweyo Mpingo wonse, Anthu a Mulungu nthawi zonse, Mpingo umene nthawi zonse, ndi kuwawa kwakukulu, umaberekanso Khristu.—POPA BENEDICT XVI, Castel Gandolfo, Italy, AUG. 23, 2006; Zenit

Momwemonso, Mulungu wamupatsa ntchito yodabwitsa iyi kuti atsogolere Women-Church ku yatsopano Era Wamtendere.

KUDZIPEREKA KWA ST. YOSEFE

Madzulo ano, pomwe Papa Francis adayamba rozari, ndidamva chilimbikitso champhamvu polemba pemphero lodzipereka kwa St. Joseph (pansipa). Kupatula kumatanthauza “kudzipatula” —kungokhala ngati, kudzipereka kwa wina ndi mnzake. Ndipo bwanji? Yesu adadzipereka yekha kwa onse a St. Joseph ndi Our Lady. Monga Thupi Lake Lachinsinsi, ife tiyenera kumachita monga Mutu wathu wachitira. Kodi sizozama kuti, ndi kudzipereka uku, ndi icho kwa Dona Wathu, mumapanga, titero, Banja Lina Lopatulika?

Pomaliza, musanadzipereke nokha, ingonena za Yosefe iyemwini. Iye ndi chitsanzo chabwino kwa ife m'masiku ovuta ano pamene tikuyandikira Diso la Mkuntho.

Abale ndi alongo, zovuta zapanozi ndi chiyambi chabe. Mizimu yamphamvu yomwe ikutumizidwa kuti itiyese nthawi ino ndi iyi antiseseis wamakhalidwe a St. Joseph. Mzimu wa mantha ikadatilowetsa ife mu phokoso ndi mantha a dziko; mzimu wa kusokoneza tikhoza kutaya chidwi chathu ndi kupezeka kwa Mulungu; mzimu wa kunyada tikufuna titenge nkhaniyo m'manja mwathu; ndi mzimu wa kusamvera zingatipangitse kupandukira Mulungu.

Gonjerani Mulungu. Kanizani mdierekezi ndipo adzakuthawani. (Yakobo 4: 7)
