MWINA gawo lochepetsetsa kwambiri pachikhalidwe chathu chamakono ndichakuti tili panjira yopita patsogolo. Zomwe tikusiya, potsatira kupambana kwa anthu, nkhanza ndi malingaliro opapatiza amibadwo yakale ndi zikhalidwe. Kuti tikumasula maunyolo a tsankho ndi tsankho ndikupita kudziko la demokalase, laulere, komanso lotukuka.

Malingaliro awa siabodza chabe, koma owopsa.

Zoonadi, pamene tikuyandikira chaka cha 2014, tikuwona chuma chathu padziko lonse lapansi chikuyandikira kugwa chifukwa cha ndondomeko zodzikonda za dziko la Azungu; kupululutsa mafuko, kupululutsa mafuko, ndi chiwawa chamagulu zikuchuluka m’maiko a Kum’maŵa; mamiliyoni mazanamazana akuvutika ndi njala padziko lonse mosasamala kanthu za chakudya chokwanira chodyetsa dziko; ufulu wa nzika zambiri zikutuluka padziko lonse lapansi m'dzina la "kulimbana ndi uchigawenga"; kuchotsa mimba, kudzipha kothandizidwa, ndi kukomoka zikupitiriza kulimbikitsidwa monga "njira zothetsera" zosokoneza, kuvutika, ndi kuwoneka "kuchuluka kwa anthu"; kuzembetsa anthu kugonana, ukapolo, ndi ziwalo kukuchulukirachulukira; zolaula, makamaka, zolaula za ana, zikuphulika padziko lonse lapansi; zoulutsira mawu ndi zosangulutsa zikuchulukirachulukira ndi mbali zonyozeka ndi zosokonekera za maunansi a anthu; tekinoloje, m’malo mobweretsa kumasulidwa kwa anthu, mosakayikira zatulutsa mtundu watsopano waukapolo umene umafuna nthaŵi yowonjezereka, ndalama, ndi chuma kuti “uyende” ndi nthaŵi; ndipo mikangano pakati pa mayiko okhala ndi zida zankhondo zowononga anthu ambiri, osati kutha, ikubweretsa anthu kufupi ndi Nkhondo Yadziko Lachitatu.

Ndithudi, pamene ena analingalira kuti dziko likupita ku chitaganya chocheperako, chosamala, chofanana, chopezera ufulu wachibadwidwe wa onse, iwo akutembenukira ku mbali ina:

Pokhala ndi zotulukapo zomvetsa chisoni, zochitika zakale zakale zikufika posinthiratu. Ndondomeko yomwe poyamba inachititsa kuti anthu adziŵe lingaliro la “ufulu wa anthu”—ufulu wa munthu aliyense ndiponso lamulo lililonse la Constitution ndi Boma lisanakhazikitsidwe—tsopano ili ndi kutsutsana kodabwitsa. Ndendende m'nthawi yomwe ufulu wosaphwanyidwa wa munthu ukulengezedwa motsimikiza komanso kufunika kwa moyo kumatsimikiziridwa poyera, ufulu weniweni wa moyo ukukanidwa kapena kuponderezedwa, makamaka pa nthawi zofunika kwambiri za kukhalapo: mphindi yakubadwa ndi mphindi. za imfa… Izi ndi zomwe zikuchitikanso pazandale ndi boma: ufulu woyambirira ndi wosasunthika wokhala ndi moyo umafunsidwa kapena kukanidwa pamaziko a voti yamalamulo kapena chifuniro cha gawo limodzi laanthu-ngakhale atakhala ambiri. Izi ndi zotsatira zoyipa zakukhulupirira zomwe zikutsutsana popanda kutsutsidwa: "ufulu" umatha kukhala wotere, chifukwa sunakhazikitsidwenso pamphamvu yosasunthika ya munthu, koma umayikidwa pansi pa chifuniro cha gawo lamphamvu kwambiri. Mwanjira imeneyi demokalase, yotsutsana ndi mfundo zake, imasunthira kumachitidwe opondereza. —POPA JOHN PAUL II, Evangelium Vitae, "Uthenga Wamoyo",n. 18, 20

Zowonadi izi ziyenera kupereka kaye kaye kwa munthu aliyense wokomera mtima, kaya wosakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu kapena wabodza, kuti afunse funsoli. chifukwa—bwanji, mosasamala kanthu za kuyesayesa kopambana kwa anthu timadzipeza tokha tikugwidwa mobwerezabwereza m’chiwonongeko cha chiwonongeko ndi nkhanza, pamlingo waukulu ndi waukulu wapadziko lonse? Chofunika koposa, chiyembekezo chili kuti pa zonsezi?

ZOONEKERA M’TSOGOLO, ZOLEMBEDWA

Zaka zoposa 500 Kristu asanabadwe, mneneri Danieli ananeneratu kuti dziko lidzadutsadi m’nyengo za nkhondo, ulamuliro, ufulu, ndi zina zotero. ^[1]cf. Daniel Ch. 7 kufikira potsirizira pake maiko anagonja ku ulamuliro wankhanza wapadziko lonse—umene Wodala John Paul Wachiŵiri akuutcha “ulamuliro wankhanza.” ^[2]cf. Dan 7:7-15 Pankhani imeneyi, Chikristu sichinanenepo za “kukwera pang’onopang’ono” kwa Ufumu wa Mulungu kumene mwapang’onopang’ono dziko likusandulika kukhala malo abwinopo. M'malo mwake, uthenga wa Uthenga Wabwino umayitanitsa ndi kulengeza mosalekeza kuti mphatso yopambana yaufulu waumunthu ikhoza kusankha kaya kuwala kapena mdima.

Ndikunena kuti St. John-atachitira umboni Chiukiriro ndi zochitika za Pentekoste—zikanalemba, osati ponena za amitundu m’kupita kwa nthaŵi, kukhala otsatira a Yesu, koma mmene dziko potsirizira pake lidzakhalira. sakana Uthenga Wabwino. M’chenicheni, iwo akalandira gulu la padziko lonse limene likawalonjeza chisungiko, chitetezero, ndi “chipulumutso” ku zofuna za Chikristu chenichenicho.

Pochita chidwi, dziko lonse lapansi linatsatira chilombocho… Chinaloledwanso kuchita nkhondo ndi oyera mtima ndi kuwagonjetsa, ndipo chinapatsidwa ulamuliro pa fuko lililonse, mtundu uliwonse, chinenero chilichonse, ndi mtundu uliwonse. ( Chiv 13:3, 7 )

Ngakhalenso Yesu sananenepo kuti dziko lidzalandira Uthenga Wabwino pothetsa kusagwirizana. Anangoti,

…iye wakulimbika chilimbikire kufikira kuchimaliziro, ameneyo adzapulumutsidwa. Ndipo uthenga uwu wabwino wa ufumu udzalalikidwa padziko lonse lapansi monga umboni ku mitundu yonse, kenako mapeto adzafika. ( Mateyu 24:13 )

Ndiko kunena kuti, anthu adzakumana ndi kutha kwa chikoka chachikhristu mpaka, pamapeto pake, Yesu adzabweranso kumapeto kwa nthawi. Padzakhala nkhondo yosalekeza pakati pa Tchalitchi ndi odana ndi Mpingo, Khristu ndi wokana Kristu, wina akulamulira kuposa winayo, kutengera kusankha kwaufulu kwa anthu kulandira kapena kukana Uthenga Wabwino mumbadwo uliwonse. Ndipo kotero,

Ufumuwo udzakwaniritsidwa, osati mwa kupambana kwampingo kwa Mpingo kudzera pakukwera patsogolo, koma pokhapokha ndi chigonjetso cha Mulungu pakuchotsa zoipa zonse, zomwe zidzapangitsa Mkwatibwi wake kutsika kuchokera kumwamba. Kupambana kwakukulu kwa kupandukira koyipa kudzakhala mawonekedwe a Chiwonetsero Chomaliza pambuyo poti zipolowe zomaliza za dziko lapansi likudutsa. — CCC, 677

Ngakhale “nthawi ya mtendere” yonenedwa mu Chivumbulutso 20, pamene oyera mtima adzalandira “mpumulo wa sabata”, malinga ndi Abambo a Tchalitchi, ^[3]cf. Wokondedwa Atate Woyera… Akubwera! amakhalabe ndi mphamvu ya munthu yochoka kwa Mulungu. Ndithudi, Malemba amanena kuti mitundu imagwera m’chinyengo chimodzi chomaliza, motero, kubweretsa “chilakiko cha mbiri” cha Zabwino pa “kumasula komaliza kwa choipa” ndi kuyambitsa Miyamba Yatsopano ndi Dziko Lapansi Latsopano kwa muyaya. ^[4]Rev 20: 7-9

KUKANIDWA

M’chenicheni, mtima wa matsoka a m’nthaŵi yathu, wa nthaŵi zonse, ndiwo kuumirira kwa munthu kukana makonzedwe a Mulungu, kukana Mulungu mwiniyo.

Mdima womwe umawopseza anthu makamaka, ndikuti amatha kuwona ndikufufuza zinthu zogwirika, koma sangathe kuwona komwe dziko lapansi likupita kapena kumene likuchokera, komwe moyo wathu uliko kupita, chabwino ndi choipa. Mdima wokutira Mulungu ndikubisa zamakhalidwe ndiye chiwopsezo chenicheni ku moyo wathu komanso kudziko lonse lapansi. Ngati Mulungu ndi makhalidwe abwino, kusiyana pakati pa chabwino ndi choipa, amakhalabe mumdima, ndiye kuti "magetsi" ena onse, omwe amatipatsa mwayi wopanga zida zotere, sizongopita patsogolo chabe komanso ndizoopsa zomwe zimaika ife ndi dziko lapansi pachiwopsezo.. -PAPA BENEDICT XVI, Easter Vigil Homily, Epulo 7, 2012

Chifukwa chiyani munthu wamakono satha kuwona? Kodi nchifukwa ninji kusiyana pakati pa chabwino ndi choipa, pambuyo pa zaka 2000, “kukhalabe mumdima”? Yankho lake ndi losavuta: chifukwa mtima wa munthu nthawi zambiri umafuna kukhala mumdima.

Ndipo ichi ndi chigamulo, kuti kuunika kunadza ku dziko lapansi, koma anthu anakonda mdima koposa kuunika, chifukwa ntchito zawo zinali zoipa. Pakuti yense wakuchita zoipa adana nako kuunika, ndipo sabwera kwa kuunika, kuti ntchito zake zingavumbulutsidwe. ( Yohane 3:19 )

Palibe chovuta pa izi, ndi chifukwa chake udani wa Khristu ndi mpingo wake udakali wokulirapo lero monga momwe zidalili zaka 2000 zapitazo. Mpingo ukuitana ndi kuitana miyoyo kuti ilandire mphatso yaulere ya chipulumutso chamuyaya. Koma zimenezi zikutanthauza kutsatira Yesu pa “njira, choonadi, ndi moyo.” Njira ndi njira ya chikondi ndi utumiki; choonadi ndi malangizo pa momwe tiyenera kukonda; ndipo moyo ndi chisomo choyeretsa chimene Mulungu amatipatsa mwaulere kuti timutsatire ndi kumumvera ndi kukhala mwa Iye. Ndilo mbali yachiŵiri—chowonadi—imene dziko limakana, chifukwa ndicho choonadi chimene chimatimasula. Ndipo Satana amafuna kuti anthu akhale akapolo a uchimo, ndipo mphotho yake ya uchimo ndi imfa. Chifukwa chake, dziko lapansi likupitiriza kukolola kamvuluvulu wa chiwonongeko kufikira pamene likupitiriza kukana choonadi ndi kuvomereza uchimo.

Anthu sadzakhala ndi mtendere kufikira atasintha ndi kudalira chifundo Changa.—Yesu kwa St. Faustina; Chifundo Chaumulungu mu Moyo Wanga, Zolemba, N. 300

CHIYEMBEKEZO CHILI KUTI?

Wodala Yohane Paulo Wachiwiri analosera kuti kugwedezeka kwa nthawi yathu kukutitsogolera ku “kulimbana komaliza” pakati pa Khristu ndi Wokana Kristu. ^[5]cf. Kumvetsetsa Mgwirizano Womaliza Ndiye kodi chiyembekezo chili kuti m'tsogolo?

Choyamba, Malemba enieniwo ananeneratu zonsezi poyamba. Kungodziwa mfundo imeneyi, kuti mpaka mapeto a nthawi padzakhala zogwedezeka koteroko, zimatipangitsa kukhala otsimikiza kuti pali Masterplan, yodabwitsa momwe iliri. Mulungu sanasiye kulamulira chilengedwe. Iye anaŵerengera kuyambira pachiyambi penipeni mtengo umene Mwana Wake adzapereka, ngakhale pamene ambiri akanakana mphatso yaulere ya chipulumutso. 

Pokhapokha pamapeto pake, pamene kudziwa kwathu pang’ono kudzatha, pamene tiona Mulungu “nkhope ndi maso”, m’pamene tidzadziwa bwino njira zomwe—ngakhale kudzera m’masewero a zoipa ndi uchimo—Mulungu watsogolera zolengedwa zake ku mpumulo wotsimikizirika wa sabata umenewo. amene adalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi. -Katekisimu wa Katolika, n. Zamgululi

Ndiponso, Mawu a Mulungu amaneneratu za chipambano cha awo amene ‘alimbika chilimbikire kufikira chimaliziro. ^[6]Matt 24: 13

Chifukwa mwasunga uthenga wanga chipiriro, ndidzakusungani m’nthawi ya mayesero amene akudza padziko lonse lapansi kudzayesa okhala padziko lapansi. Ndikubwera msanga. Gwira zolimba chimene uli nacho, kuti wina angalande korona wako. 'Wopambana ndidzamuyesa mzati m'Kacisi wa Mulungu wanga, ndipo sadzacokanso.' ( Chiv 3:10-12 )

Tili ndi mwayi wokayang’ana m’mbuyo pa zilakiko zonse za anthu a Mulungu m’zaka mazana apitawa pamene Chikristu chenicheni chinali pangozi. Tikuwona momwe Ambuye, mobwerezabwereza, adaperekera anthu ake chisomo, "kotero kuti m’zonse, pokhala nazo zonse muzisowa, mukakhale nazo zochuluka ku ntchito iri yonse yabwino.” ( 2 Akorinto 9:8 )

Ndipo ili ndiye mfungulo: kumvetsetsa kuti Mulungu amalola mafunde a zoipa kukankhira kumtunda kuti abweretse ubwino waukulu—kupulumutsa miyoyo.

Tiyenera kuyamba kuona dziko ndi maso achikhulupiriro, kuchotsa ziwonetsero zokayikitsa. Inde, zinthu zikuwoneka zoipa kwambiri padziko. Koma pamene dziko likugwa mu uchimo, m’pamenenso limalakalaka ndi kubuula kuti liwomboledwe! Pamene mzimu umakhala muukapolo, umalakalaka kwambiri kupulumutsidwa! Pamene mtima umakhala wopanda kanthu, m'pamenenso umakhala wokonzeka kudzazidwa! Musanyengedwe; dziko likhoza kuwoneka ngati likukana Khristu… koma ndapeza kuti iwo amene amamutsutsa mwamphamvu nthawi zambiri amakhala iwo omwe akulimbana kwambiri ndi chowonadi mumitima yawo.

Waika mwa munthu chikhumbo cha choonadi ndi ubwino zomwe Iye yekha angakwaniritse. -Katekisma wa Mpingo wa Katolika, N. 2002

Ino si nthawi yoti mukhale amantha, koma ndi kudzichepetsa kwakukulu ndi kulimbika mtima kulowa m'mitima ya anthu ndi kuwala kwa chikondi ndi choonadi.

Inu ndinu kuunika kwa dziko lapansi. Mzinda wokhazikika paphiri sungathe kubisika. Kapena sayatsa nyali, nayibvundikira ndi mbiya; yaikidwa pachoikapo nyali, pamene iunikira onse m’nyumba. Momwemonso, kuunika kwanu kuwalitsa pamaso pa anthu, kuti pakuona ntchito zanu zabwino, alemekeze Atate wanu wa Kumwamba. ( Mateyu 5:14-16 )

Ichi ndichifukwa chake Atate Woyera akuwuzanso Mpingo kuti tiyenera kulowa m'misewu; kuti ife ayenera kukhala "odetsedwa" kachiwiri, kusisita mapewa ndi dziko lapansi, kuwalola iwo kusangalala ndi kuwala kwa chisomo choyenda kudzera mu chikondi, osati kubisala m'malo obisalamo ndi matumba a simenti. Pamene mdima umakhala, Akristu ayenera kukhala owala. Ngati ife tokha takhala ofunda; ngati ife tokha tikhala ngati akunja. Ndiye inde, kuwala kwathu kumakhalabe kobisika, kophimbidwa ndi zigawo za kunyengerera, chinyengo, dyera, ndi kunyada.

Akhristu ambiri ali achisoni, osati chifukwa chakuti dzikoli likuoneka ngati lili kumoto, koma chifukwa chakuti moyo wawo uli pangozi. Takhala omasuka kwambiri. Tiyenera kugwedezeka, kuzindikira kuti moyo wathu ndi waufupi kwambiri ndi kukonzekera muyaya. Kwathu kulibe kuno, koma Kumwamba. Mwinamwake ngozi yaikulu lerolino sikuli yakuti dziko latayikanso mumdima, koma kuti Akristu sakuwalanso ndi kuunika kwa chiyero. Umenewo ndiwo mdima woipitsitsa kuposa uliwonse, umene Akristu ayenera kukhala ndikuyembekeza wobadwa thupi. Inde, chiyembekezo chimaloŵa m’dziko nthaŵi iriyonse pamene wokhulupirira akukhaladi ndi Uthenga Wabwino, chifukwa munthuyo ndiye amakhala chizindikiro cha “moyo watsopano.” Pamenepo dziko ‘lingalaŵa ndi kuwona’ nkhope ya Yesu, yosonyezedwa mwa wotsatira Wake wowona. We tiyenera kukhala chiyembekezo chomwe dziko likufunikira!

Tikapatsa munthu wanjala chakudya, timapanganso chiyembekezo mwa iye. Ndi mmenenso zilili ndi ena. -PAPA FRANCIS, Wokondedwa, Wailesi ya Vatican, Okutobala 24, 2013

Ndiye tiyeni tiyambenso! Lero, sankhani chiyero, sankhani kutsatira Yesu kulikonse kumene mukupita, kukhala chizindikiro cha chiyembekezo. Ndipo kodi Iye akupita kuti mu dziko lathu lamdima ndi chisokonezo lero? Ndendende m'mitima ndi m'nyumba za ochimwa. Tiyeni timutsatire ndi kulimbika mtima ndi chimwemwe, chifukwa ndife ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi ogawana mu mphamvu yake, moyo, ulamuliro ndi chikondi chake.

Mwina ena a ife sitikonda kunena zimenezi, koma amene ali pafupi kwambiri ndi mtima wa Yesu, ndi ochimwa kwambiri, chifukwa amawayembekezera, akuitana kwa onse: ‘Idzani! Ndipo akamam’funsa kufotokoza, amati: ‘Koma amene ali ndi thanzi labwino safuna dokotala; Ndabwera kudzachiritsa, kupulumutsa. —POPE FRANCIS, Homily, Vatican City, October 22, 2013; Zenit.org

Chikhulupiriro chimatiuza kuti Mulungu wapereka Mwana wake chifukwa cha ife ndipo amatitsimikizira kuti n’zoonadi: Mulungu ndiye chikondi! Motero kumasintha kusaleza mtima kwathu ndi kukayikira kwathu kukhala chiyembekezo chotsimikizirika chakuti Mulungu agwira dziko lapansi m’manja mwake ndi kuti, monga momwe chithunzithunzi chochititsa chidwi cha mapeto a Bukhu la Chivumbulutso chikusonyezera, mosasamala kanthu za mdima wonse iye potsirizira pake apambana mu ulemerero. —PAPA BENEDICT XVI, Deus Caritas Est, Zolemba, n. 39
