Ulosi wa Newman

St. John Henry Newman chithunzi cha Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896)
Wosankhidwa pa Okutobala 13th, 2019

KWA zaka zingapo, nthawi iliyonse ndikalankhula pagulu za nthawi yomwe tikukhalamo, ndimayenera kujambula chithunzi mosamala mawu apapa ndi oyera mtima. Anthu sanali okonzeka kumva kuchokera kwa munthu wamba ngati ine kuti tatsala pang'ono kukumana ndi vuto lalikulu kwambiri lomwe Mpingo udapambanapo - zomwe John Paul II adazitcha "nkhondo yomaliza" ya nthawi ino. Masiku ano, sindinganene chilichonse. Anthu ambiri achikhulupiriro amatha kudziwa, ngakhale zili bwino, zomwe zidalipo padzikoli.

Zowonadi, tikukhala mu zomwe zimadziwika kuti "nthawi zomaliza" - takhala "ovomerezeka" kuyambira pa Kukwera kwa Khristu. Koma sizomwe ine kapena apapa tikunena. M'malo mwake, tikulozera ku nyengo yapadera pomwe mphamvu za moyo ndi imfa zidzafika pachimake: "chikhalidwe cha moyo" chotsutsana ndi "chikhalidwe chaimfa," "mkazi wovala dzuwa" motsutsana ndi "chinjoka chofiira," Mpingo motsutsana ndi mpingo wotsutsana, Uthenga Wabwino motsutsana ndi wotsutsa-uthenga, "chirombo" motsutsana ndi Thupi la Khristu. Kumayambiriro kwa utumiki wanga, anthu amandiyang'ana monyodola ndikunena, "Chabwino, aliyense akuganiza kuti nthawi yake ndi nthawi yotsiriza." Ndipo kotero, ndidayamba kugwira mawu a St. John Henry Newman:

Ndikudziwa kuti nthawi zonse ndizowopsa, ndikuti nthawi zonse malingaliro ovuta komanso amantha, okhala ndi ulemu kwa Mulungu ndi zosowa za anthu, ali oyenera kuganizira nthawi zowopsa ngati zawo. Nthawi zonse mdani wa miyoyo imazunza ndi mkwiyo Mpingo womwe ndi mayi wawo wowona, ndipo imamuwopseza ndikumuwopseza akalephera kuchita zoyipa. Ndipo nthawi zonse amakhala ndi mayesero awo apadera omwe ena alibe… Mosakayikira, komabe ndikuvomereza izi, ndikuganiza kuti… yathu ili ndi mdima wosiyana ndi womwe udalipo kale. Zowopsa zapanthawi yomwe tili patsogolo pathu ndikufalikira kwa mliri wosakhulupirika, womwe Atumwi ndi Ambuye wathu Mwini adaneneratu kuti ndi tsoka lalikulu kwambiri munthawi zomaliza za Mpingo. Ndipo mthunzi chabe, chithunzi chofananira cha nthawi zomaliza chikubwera padziko lapansi. —St. John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890 AD), ulaliki potsegulira Seminari ya St. Bernard, Okutobala 2, 1873, Kusakhulupirika Kwa Mtsogolo

Zowonadi, mdima womwe watsika panthawiyi mwina ndiwosiyana ndi china chilichonse padziko lapansi. Malingaliro asinthidwa mozondoka. Zabwino (monga banja, ukwati, abambo, ndi zina zambiri) tsopano zimawonedwa ngati zoyipa zakakhalidwe pomwe chiwerewere chimayamikiridwa ndikukondwerera kuti ndichabwino. Lamulo lachilengedwe limasekedwa pomwe "malingaliro" amakhazikika pamalamulo. Zachiwawa komanso zachiwerewere zimawonedwa ngati zosangalatsa pomwe ana asukulu amaphunzitsidwa kuseweretsa maliseche komanso kuwona zolaula. Ndi Mpingo? Opezeka pamisa akupitilizabe kuchepa kumadzulo popeza kusakhulupirira kwa Ukaristia kukukwera. Wovulazidwa ndimanyazi ogwiriridwa, ofooketsedwa ndiukatswiri wamakono, ndipo wopanda mphamvu chifukwa chonyengerera ndi mantha, Mpingo mwadzidzidzi ulibe ntchito kwa anthu mabiliyoni ambiri.

Kodi tili kuti mwamalingaliro amacheza? Ndizotheka kuti tili pakati pa kupanduka ndipo chinyengo chenicheni chafika pa anthu ambiri, ambiri. Ndi chinyengo ichi ndi kupanduka komwe kumayimira zomwe zidzachitike. ndipo munthu wosayeruzika adzawululidwa. -Nkhani, Msgr. Charles Papa,“Kodi Izi Ndiye Magulu Akunja a Chiweruzo Chomwe Chikubwera?”, Novembala 11, 2014; Blog

Ngakhale ndizosavuta kwa ife kupanga ziweruzo izi momveka bwino, St John Newman adanena chiyani mwina ndichimodzi mwazinthu zodziwika bwino kwambiri zomwe ndidaziwerenga kuchokera kwa munthu wa tchalitchi. Mu maulaliki ake pa Wokana Kristu, woyera adalemba kuti:

Satana atenga zida zowopsa kwambiri zachinyengo — atha kubisala — atayesa kutinyengerera muzinthu zazing'ono, ndikusunthira Mpingo, osati onse nthawi imodzi, koma pang'ono ndi pang'ono kuchokera pamalo ake enieni. Ndimatero khulupirirani kuti wachita zambiri motere mzaka mazana angapo zapitazi… Ndi malingaliro ake kutigawanitsa ndi kutigawanitsa, kuti atichotse pang'onopang'ono kuchokera ku thanthwe lathu lamphamvu. Ndipo ngati padzakhala chizunzo, mwina zidzakhala pamenepo; ndiye, mwina, pamene tonsefe tiri m'malo onse a Dziko Lachikristu ogawikana kwambiri, ndi ochepetsedwa kwambiri, odzaza ndi magawano, pafupi kwambiri ndi mpatuko. Tikadziponyera tokha padziko lapansi ndikudalira chitetezo chake, ndikusiya kudziyimira pawokha ndi mphamvu zathu, ndiye [Wokana Kristu] adzatiphulikira mwaukali mpaka momwe Mulungu amaloleza. Kenako mwadzidzidzi Ufumu wa Roma ungasokonekere, ndipo Wokana Kristu akuwoneka ngati wozunza, ndipo mayiko akunyoza omwe azungulira. —Nthawi ya a John Henry Newman, Chiphunzitso IV: Kuzunzidwa kwa Wokana Kristu

Ndipo Newman anali womveka bwino pa zomwe, kapena kani, amene amatanthauza “Wokana Kristu”:

… Kuti Wokana Kristu ndi munthu m'modzi payekha, osati mphamvu - osati mzimu wongoyenda chabe, kapena ndale, osati mzera wa mafumu, kapena olamulira otsatizana - unali chikhalidwe cha Mpingo woyambirira. —St. A John Henry Newman, "Nthawi za Wokana Kristu", Nkhani 1

Chifukwa chomwe mawu ake ali odabwitsa ndikuti Newman adawoneratu nthawi yomwe Tchalitchi chimadzakhala chisokonezo chamkati; nthawi yomwe adzasunthidwe kuchoka pa "malo ake enieni," "thanthwe lake lamphamvu," ndipo "ali wodzaza ndi kupatukana" komanso "pafupi ndi mpatuko." Kwa omvera ake m'zaka za zana la 19, izi mwina zimawoneka ngati zopanda malire pakokha, popeza Khristu adalonjeza kuti "Zipata za dziko lapansi lapansi sizidzawulaka." ^[1]Matt 16: 18 Kuphatikiza apo, Tchalitchichi chidali chowunikira cholimba m'nthawi ya Newman kotero kuti iye, atazika mizu yake, anati, "Kukhala m'mbiri yakale ndikusiya kukhala Chiprotestanti."

Koma kuti amveke bwino, Newman sanena kuti Choonadi, chosungidwa mu Chikhalidwe Chopatulika, chidzatayika. M'malo mwake, kuti padzakhala nthawi yayitali ya chisokonezo chachikulu, kudziko lapansi, ndi magawano. Amaloza makamaka nthawi yomwe Tchalitchi ndi mamembala ake "adziponyera" m'manja mwa Boma, titero kunena kwake, atasiya kudziyimira pawokha komanso mphamvu. Kodi Newman akanakhoza bwanji, koma chifukwa cha chisomo cha kuunikira kwaumulungu, kuti awone momwe tikudziwira tsopano? Tchalitchichi chimadalira, osati pazowolowa manja za okhulupirika, koma "pantchito zachifundo" zake kuti athe kupereka risiti kuti akope anthu. Izi, mwa zina, zatero de A facto zinapangitsa kuti atsogoleri achipembedzo asakhale chete kuti apitirizebe kukhala ndi "mbiri yabwino" ndi boma. Lasintha mabishopu m'malo ambiri kukhala oyang'anira nyumba m'malo moyang'anira Uthenga Wabwino. Zatichititsa "pang'ono ndi pang'ono" kuchoka pa malo athu enieni ndi rock, yomwe ndi Tchalitchi chomwe chilipo, atero Papa St. Paul VI, "kuti tizilalikira." ^[2]Evangelii nuntiandi, n. Zamgululi Zowonadi, salinso masukulu omanga Tchalitchi, zipatala, ndi malo otumizira amishonale, koma Boma ndi mabungwe omwe siaboma ake omwe amafalitsa "uthenga wabwino" wawo wa "ufulu wa uchembere wabwino" (monga kuchotsa mimba, kulera, kuthandiza kudzipha, ndi zina zambiri). Mwachidule, umishonale wathu umalimbikira “Phunzitsani anthu a mitundu yonse” wamwalira m'malo ambiri. "Kupita ku Misa Lamlungu" kapena "kamodzi pachaka" pa Isitala kapena Khrisimasi tsopano zikuwoneka ngati kukwaniritsa malonjezo athu obatizidwa. Kodi pali amene akumva mawu a Yesu akubingu pamwamba pa mitu yathu?

Ndikudziwa ntchito zako; Ndikudziwa kuti simukuzizira kapena kutentha. Ndikulakalaka ukanakhala wozizira kapena wotentha. Chifukwa chake, popeza uli wofunda, wosati wotentha kapena wozizira, ndidzakulavula m'kamwa mwanga. Iwe ukunena kuti, 'Ine ndine wolemera ndipo ndapeza chuma ndipo sindikusowa kanthu,' koma osazindikira kuti ndiwe watsoka, womvetsa chisoni, wosauka, wakhungu ndi wamaliseche? … Iwo amene ndimawakonda, ndimawadzudzula ndi kuwalanga. Khala wolimbika, nulape. (Chibvumbulutso 3: 15-19)

Zikutanthauza chiyani kukhala "wotentha"? Si selfie pa Instagram. Ziyenera kukhala amoyo ndi Uthenga chotero mawu athu ndi mboni kukhala kukhalapo kwa Khristu padziko lapansi. Bungwe lachiwiri la Vatican Council linali lodziwikiratu kuti Mkatolika aliyense ali ndi udindo wonyamula kuunika kwa Khristu:

… Sikokwanira kuti anthu achikhristu azipezeka ndikukhala mdziko lokhalo, komanso sikokwanira kuchita mpatuko mwa chitsanzo chabwino. Iwo apangidwa chifukwa chaichi, alipo chifukwa cha izi: kulengeza za Khristu kwa nzika zawo zosakhala Zachikhristu kudzera m'mawu ndi machitidwe awo, ndikuwathandiza kuti alandire Khristu mokwanira. - Kachiwiri Council Vatican, Amitundu Akunja, n. 15; v Vatican.va

Koma ndi Akatolika angati amene amalankhula za Yesu Khristu m'masukulu awo kapena pamsika ndikuganiza za izi? Ayi, "chikhulupiriro ndichinthu chawekha" munthu amamva kangapo. Koma sizomwe Yesu nthawi Adatero. M'malo mwake, adalamula omutsatira ake kuti akhale "mchere ndi kuunika" mdziko lapansi ndipo asabise chowonadi pansi pa dengu.

Inu ndinu kuunika kwa dziko lapansi. Mzinda wokhala paphiri sungabisike. (Mateyu 5:14)

Ndipo potero, Yohane Paulo Wachiwiri anati, “Ino si nthawi yoti muchite manyazi ndi Uthenga Wabwino. Ino ndi nthawi yoti tizilalikira tili padenga. ” ^[3]Kunyumba, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, Denver, Colorado, Ogasiti 15, 1993

Palibe kufalitsa koona ngati dzina, chiphunzitso, moyo, malonjezo, ufumu ndi chinsinsi cha Yesu waku Nazareti, Mwana wa Mulungu, sizikulengezedwa. —PAPA ST. PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandi,n. 22; v Vatican.va

M'malo mosintha anthu ndi uthenga wa Uthenga Wabwino, komabe, kuchepetsa kupondaponda kaboni ndikuwoneka ngati ntchito yatsopano. Kukhala "olekerera" komanso "ophatikizira" kwalowa m'malo mwa ukoma weniweni ndi chiyero. Kuzimitsa magetsi, kugwiritsanso ntchito, komanso kugwiritsa ntchito pulasitiki wochepa (woyenera monga awa) akhala masakramenti atsopano. Mbendera za utawaleza zalowa m'malo mwa Banner of Christ.

Chotsatira nchiyani? Malinga ndi Newman, ndiye pamenepo Boma litalowa m'malo mwa Atate wakumwamba kuti ngakhale kamodzi mayiko achikhristu adzadzipeza okha (mwina mwakufuna kwawo) m'manja mwa Wokana Kristu.
