Mwana wa Ng'ombe Wagolide

WE are at the end of a era, ndi chiyambi cha lotsatira: M'badwo wa Mzimu. Koma yotsatira isanayambike, njere ya tirigu —chikhalidwechi — imayenera kugwera munthaka nifa. Kwa maziko amakhalidwe abwino mu sayansi, ndale, komanso zachuma awola makamaka. Sayansi yathu tsopano imagwiritsidwa ntchito mobwerezabwereza kuyesa anthu, ndale zathu kuti ziwapangitse, komanso zachuma kuti ziwapange akapolo.

Papa Francis adazindikira 'kusintha kwakanthawi' komwe tikudutsako mwachidule:

… Ambiri amasiku ano akukhala mwamantha tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi zotsatirapo zoyipa. Matenda angapo akufalikira. Mitima ya anthu ambiri igwidwa ndimantha komanso kusimidwa, ngakhale m'maiko omwe akutchedwa olemera. Chisangalalo chokhala ndi moyo nthawi zambiri chimatha, kusalemekeza ena komanso zachiwawa kukukulira, ndipo kusagwirizana kukuwonekera kwambiri. Ndizovuta kukhala, ndipo nthawi zambiri, kukhala opanda ulemu. —PAPA FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, N. 52

Chifukwa chiyani? Bwanji, pambuyo pa nthawi yotchedwa "Kuunikiridwa", kufalikira kwa demokalase, kupita patsogolo kwaukadaulo, kuchuluka kwa kulumikizana kwapadziko lonse lapansi, njira yopitilira zamankhwala… chifukwa chiyani umunthu ukupezeka kuti watsala pang'ono kumapeto kwa nkhondo yachitatu yapadziko lonse, yamphamvu njala, za kusiyana pakati pa olemera ndi osauka, ndi matenda ofala?

Ndi chifukwa chakuti sitili osiyana ndi Aisrayeli akale. Anaiwala mafunso ofunika kwambiri: chifukwa chakukhalira kwawo, ndi zina zambiri, amene adawapanga. Ndipo kotero adadzisandulikira okha kuti ayang'ane kwa zakanthawi kuti akwaniritse, kuzinthu zosangalatsa, ku golide wawo wopembedza.

Anasinthanitsa ulemerero wawo ndi chithunzi cha ng'ombe yodya udzu. (Masalimo a lero)

Munthu wamakono sali wosiyana. Tasinthanitsa ulemerero wathu, womwe ndi ulemu wokhala ana aamuna ndi aakazi a Mulungu, kukhala zosangalatsa zakanthawi, "mwana wa ng'ombe wagolide" wakanthawiyo. Monga Aisraeli omwe adayiwala zozizwitsa zomwe Mulungu adachita kuti awapulumutse ku Igupto, ifenso tayiwala zozizwitsa zodabwitsa zomwe Mulungu wachita mzaka ziwiri zapitazi. Tayiwala momwe chitukuko chakumadzulo chidamangidwa, pamalamulo ndi mfundo zachikhristu. Chifukwa chake, Yesu akuti kwa ife:

… Simunamvepo mawu [a Atate] kapena kuwona mawonekedwe ake, ndipo mulibe mawu ake mwa inu, chifukwa simukhulupirira Iye amene Iye adamtuma. (Lero)

Sitimakhulupirira chifukwa sitikumana ndi mafunso ofunika kwambiri:

Ndine ndani? Kodi ndachokera kuti ndipo ndikupita kuti? Kodi nchifukwa ninji pali choipa? Nchiyani chiri pambuyo pa moyo uno? … Ndi mafunso omwe ali ndi gwero limodzi pofunafuna tanthauzo lomwe lakhala likukakamiza mtima wa munthu. M'malo mwake, yankho lomwe laperekedwa kumafunso awa limasankha komwe anthu amafunika kupereka pamoyo wawo. —WADALITSIDWA JOHN PAUL II, Fides ndi Ratio, N. 1

Malangizo a m'badwo uno kudziononga ^[1]cf. Ulosi wa Yudasi sizisintha - osati chifukwa tilibe mayankho - koma chifukwa ife kukana Kufunsanso mafunso! Mphepo yamkuntho yoopsa ya kutanganidwa, phokoso, kugula zinthu, kuchita zachiwerewere ndi imfa, monga yankho labwino kwambiri pamavuto athu, yathetsa mafunso mpaka kufika poti sitimatha kumva maziko omwe akugwera pansi pathu!

Ngati maziko awonongedwa, kodi wolungamayo angatani? (Masalmo 11: 3)

Zomwe inu ndi ine mungathe ndikuchita panokha Yankhani mafunso. Ndipo kuwayankha ndikuti tionetsetsenso zofunika zathu patsogolo. Ndiko kulapa. Ndi "kutuluka m'Babulo" ndikuyamba kukhala ndi phazi limodzi mdziko lotsatira. Ndikufuna kukhala ophunzira a Yesu amene kumvetsera kwa liwu Lake, amene amamutsatira Iye, ngakhale moyo wathu utayika. Mwanjira iyi, sitingathe kusunga chikhalidwe, koma tidzakhala chizindikiro kwa ena--yankho kwa ena—omwe, pamene chitukuko chathu chikulowa m'magawo omaliza a madzulo, ayamba kufunafuna "nyali yoyaka ndi yowala" mumdima mwadzidzidzi momwe adzipezamo.

Inde, Khristu akuitana iwe ndi ine kuti tikhale kuunikako, kuloza ku M'bandakucha watsopano. Koma tiyenera kuwonetsetsa kuti kuwunika kwathu kuwonedwa, osati kuzimitsidwa pakugwa kwa Babulo komwe kukubwera.

Chokani kwa iye, anthu anga, kuti musatenge nawo mbali m'machimo ake, ndi kulandira nawo miliri yake; pakuti machimo ake aunjikana kufikira kumwamba, ndipo Mulungu akumbukira zolakwa zake….
