Tsoka kwa Ine!

OH, kwakhala chilimwe chotani nanga! Chilichonse chomwe ndakhudza chasanduka fumbi. Magalimoto, makina, zamagetsi, zida zamagetsi, matayala… pafupifupi chilichonse chawonongeka. Ndi chidwi chotani nanga cha nkhaniyi! Ndakhala ndikudziwona ndekha mawu a Yesu akuti:

Musadzikundikire nokha chuma padziko lapansi, pamene njenjete ndi kuvunda ziwononga, ndipo mbala zimathyola ndi kuba. Koma mudzikundikire chuma m’Mwamba, pamene njenjete kapena kuvunda sizingawononge, kapena mbala ziboola ndi kuba. Pakuti kumene kuli chuma chako, mtima wakonso udzakhala komweko. ( Mateyu 6:19-21 )

Nthawi zambiri ndimasowa mawu ndikulowa mu chowonadi chozama: palibe njira ya Mulungu. Nthaŵi zina ndimamva anthu akunena kuti, “Mukangokhala ndi chikhulupiriro, Mulungu adzakuchiritsani” kapena “Mukangokhulupirira, Iye adzakudalitsani.” Koma zimenezi si zoona nthawi zonse. Monga Yesu, nthawi zina yankho ndiloti palibe chikho china koma Njira ya Mtanda; monga Yesu, nthawi zina palibe njira ina koma kudutsa kumanda. Ndipo izi zikutanthauza kuti tiyenera kulowa m'malo momwe, monganso Yesu, tikhoza kungofuula, “Atate mwandisiyiranji ine?” Ndikhulupirireni, ndanena kuti nthawi zambiri m'chilimwe chino pamene ndimayang'ana kukhazikika kwachuma komwe takhala nako mu zaka makumi awiri za utumiki kukugwera usiku umodzi. Koma mobwerezabwereza, ndinali kunenanso kuti, “Ambuye, tidzamuka kwa yani? Inu muli nawo mawu a moyo wosatha. Kodi dziko lingandipatse chiyani? Ndalama? Kutchuka? Chitetezo? Zonse ndi fumbi, fumbi lonse. Koma Ambuye, sindikudziwa kumene Inu muli pakali pano…komabe, ndimadalira Inu.”

Inde, amenewo ndi “mawu a tsopano” a Mpingo pa nthawi ino: zilekeni, zilekeni, zilekeni. Mulungu ali ndi china chake chabwino kuti atipatse, koma sangathe pamene manja athu adzaza. Tiyenera kusiya dzikoli, zokopa ndi zotonthoza zake kuti Atate atipatse Kubwera Chatsopano ndi Chiyero Chaumulungu. Ngati Mulungu amatichenjeza, ndi chifukwa chakuti amatikonda. Ndipo ngati Atilanga (kuti atidzudzule) kuti atidalitse. M’ndime yofananayo mu Uthenga Wabwino wa Luka, Yesu anati:

Izi zonse amitundu adziko lapansi azifunafuna; ndipo Atate wanu adziwa kuti muzisowa zimenezo [chakudya, zovala, ndi zina zotero]. + M’malo mwake, funani ufumu wake, + ndipo zina izi zidzawonjezedwa kwa inu. Musaopenso, kagulu ka nkhosa inu; pakuti Atate wanu akonda kukupatsani Ufumu. Gulitsani zinthu zanu ndikupereka zachifundo. mudzikonzere matumba a ndalama osatha, chuma chosatha m’Mwamba, chimene mbala sichikhoza kufikira, kapena njenjete sungaononge. ( Luka 12:30-33 )

Atate akufuna kutipatsa ife ufumu! Umo ndi mmene zowawa za pobereka zilipo. Atate watsala pang’ono kukhazikitsa Ufumu wa Kristu padziko lapansi m’njira yatsopano kuti chifuniro Chake chichitike padziko lapansi "Monga kumwamba." Inde, tiyenera kupitiriza kukhala ndi moyo mogwirizana ndi ntchito ya panthaŵiyo, pakuti sitingathe motsimikiza “dziwani nthawi kapena nyengo, zimene Atate anaziika mu ulamuliro wake. ^[1]Machitidwe 1: 7 Ndipo komabe, Yesu amachita kunena kuti tiyenera kuwerenga “zizindikiro za nthawi ino.” Izi sizotsutsana. Ganizilani izi motere. Kukakhala namondwe madzulo ndipo mitambo yakuda itadzaza kumwamba, simungadziŵe bwinobwino kumene dzuŵa lidzaloŵa kapena nthaŵi yake. Koma inu mukudziwa izo zikubwera; mukudziwa kuti ili pafupi kusintha kwa kuwala…koma liti ndendende, simunganene.

Ndi momwe zilili mu nthawi yathu… a Mkuntho Wankulu tsopano ikuwonekera padziko lonse lapansi kuphimba Dzuwa, kuwala kwaumulungu kwa choonadi. Tikudziwa kuti ola likukulirakulirabe, chifukwa titha kuona dziko likuwonongeka kwambiri komanso kusayeruzika kukuchulukirachulukira. Koma nthawi imeneyi ikadzatha, sitingadziwe bwinobwino. Koma tikudziwa kuti ikubwera chifukwa tikutha kuona kuwala kwa chikhulupiriro kukucheperachepera!

M'masiku athu ano, pamene kumadera akulu adziko lapansi chikhulupiriro chili pangozi yakufa ngati lawi lomwe sililinso ndi mafuta, chofunikira kwambiri ndikupanga Mulungu kupezeka padziko lino lapansi ndikuwonetsa amuna ndi akazi njira yopita kwa Mulungu. Osati mulungu aliyense, koma Mulungu amene adalankhula pa Sinai; kwa Mulungu amene nkhope yake timazindikira mwa chikondi chomwe chalimbikira "kufikira chimaliziro" (cf. Jn 13: 1) - mwa Yesu Khristu, wopachikidwa ndi kuwuka. —PAPA BENEDICT XVI, Kalata Ya Chiyero Chake Papa Benedict XVI kwa Aepiskopi Onse Padziko Lapansi, Marichi 12, 2009; v Vatican.va

Awa ndi "mawu tsopano" mu mphindi ino. Ikani njira ina:

Pomaliza, kuchiritsidwa kumangobwera kuchokera kuchikhulupiriro chakuya mu chikondi choyanjanitsa cha Mulungu. Kulimbitsa chikhulupiriro ichi, kuchidyetsa ndi kuchiwalitsa ndi ntchito yayikulu ya Mpingo pa nthawi ino… ndikupereka malingaliro awa pakupemphera kwa Namwali Woyera, Mayi wa Muomboli. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Kulankhula ku Roman Curia, Disembala 20, 2010

Pali nkhani zambiri za momwe tiyenera kutetezera chowonadi cha Chikatolika kwa mimbulu yomwe ikudya gulu la nkhosa, kumwaza nkhosa mosokonezeka, ndi kutipereka kukupha. Inde, zonsezo nzoona—Mpingo uli m’chipwirikiti pamene Yudase akuyenda pakati pathu. Koma sitingaiwale kuti Choonadi chili ndi dzina: Yesu! Chikatolika si dongosolo chabe la malamulo ndi malamulo osasinthika; ndi a moyo njira yopita ku ubwenzi ndi mgonero ndi Mulungu wa Utatu, chomwe ndi tanthauzo la chisangalalo. Ntchito yathu ndi kulalikira “Yesu Khristu wopachikidwa ndi kuuka kwa akufa,” umene uli waukulu kwambiri wa uthenga umene Mulungu anatikonda ife poyamba ndi kuti ndife opulumutsidwa ndi chisomo mwa chikhulupiriro m’chikondi chimenecho. Chotsatira, ndiye kuyankha kwathu (makhalidwe), ndiko kumvera mau ake, omwe ali moyo weniweniwo.

Ngati musunga malamulo anga mudzakhala m'chikondi changa; monga Ine ndasunga malamulo a Atate wanga, ndipo ndikhala m'chikondi chawo. Izi ndalankhula ndi inu, kuti chimwemwe changa chikhale mwa inu, ndikuti chimwemwe chanu chikwaniridwe. (Yohane 15: 10-11)

Mulingo umene sitili mu chiyanjano ndi Iye koma m’chiyanjano, m’malo mwake, ndi “chuma chapadziko,” ndi mlingo umene “njenjete, kuvunda, ndi akuba” zidzafika ndi kumeza ndi kuba chimwemwe chathu ndi mtendere. Lero, ndani angauze dziko choonadi ichi ngati si ife? Komanso, amene adzatero sonyezani dziko momwe izi zikuwonekera ngati si ife?

Kotero, usikuuno ndikupeza kuti ndikulimbana ndi mawu a St.

O, Yesu wa ku Nazarete, ndichitireni chifundo ndipo musandiweruze mwankhanza. Monga Eliya, ndinalakalaka kuthaŵira kuchipululu ndi kufa. Mofanana ndi Yona, ndinalakalaka kuponyedwa m’nyanja ndi kumira m’masautso anga.

Pakuti alasa, koma amanga; amenya, koma manja ake achiritsa. ( Yobu 5:18 )

Papa, pankhaniyi, si ambuye wamkulu koma ndi wantchito wamkulu - "wantchito wa atumiki a Mulungu"; chitsimikizo cha kumvera ndi kutsatira kwa Mpingo ku chifuniro cha Mulungu, ku Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu, ndi ku Chikhalidwe cha Mpingo, kusiya chikhumbo chilichonse, ngakhale ali - mwa chifuniro cha Khristu Mwini - "Mbusa wamkulu ndi Mphunzitsi wa onse okhulupilika" ndipo ngakhale ali ndi "mphamvu zapamwamba, zodzaza, zaposachedwa, komanso mphamvu wamba mu Mpingo". —POPA FRANCIS, akumalizira pa Sinodi; Catholic News Agency, Okutobala 18, 2014
