Shauku yetu

 

Ombea Kanisa la Yesu wangu.
Maumivu ya Kalvari yatamjia…
Wanaume na wanawake wenye imani
nitakunywa kikombe kichungu cha mateso.
Wakati ujao utaangaziwa na mateso makubwa.
Kama nilivyosema hapo awali, utatupwa nje
kwa kupenda na kutetea ukweli.
Usirudi nyuma. Nitakuwa pamoja nawe.
(Mama yetu kwa Pedro Regis, Machi 24, 28, 2026)

WHatukabiliani na mwisho wa dunia. Kwa kweli, hatukabiliani hata na dhiki za mwisho za Kanisa. Tunachokabiliana nacho ni makabiliano ya mwisho katika historia ndefu ya makabiliano kati ya Shetani na Kanisa la Kristo: vita ya kuanzisha moja au nyingine ufalme wao duniani.^[1]cf. Mapigano ya falme Mtakatifu Yohane Paulo II alifupisha hivi:

Sasa tumesimama mbele ya mapambano makubwa ya kihistoria ambayo ubinadamu umepitia. Sidhani kwamba duru pana za jamii ya Amerika au duru pana za jamii ya Kikristo zinatambua hii kikamilifu. Sasa tunakabiliwa na makabiliano ya mwisho kati ya Kanisa na dhidi ya Kanisa, la Injili dhidi ya Injili. Makabiliano haya yako ndani ya mipango ya Utoaji wa Mungu; ni jaribio ambalo Kanisa lote, na Kanisa la Kipolishi haswa, lazima wachukue. Ni jaribio la sio tu taifa letu na Kanisa, lakini kwa njia nyingine mtihani wa miaka 2,000 ya utamaduni na ustaarabu wa Kikristo, na matokeo yake yote kwa utu wa binadamu, haki za mtu binafsi, haki za binadamu na haki za mataifa. -Kardinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), katika Kongamano la Ekaristi, Philadelphia, PA; Agosti 13, 1976; cf. lilichapishwa tena Novemba 9, 1978, toleo la Jarida la Wall Street; italiki msisitizo wangu

In Scripture, it is described as the final confrontation between the “woman” and the “dragon”— the Woman representing both Mary and the Church — and the dragon… ^[2]cf. Mwanamke na Joka

…the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world. (Ufu 12: 9)

 

The Historical Confrontation

In a lucid speech at the Synod of the Family in Rome in 2015, Romanian Dr. Anca-Maria Cernea explained the “greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through” that has resulted in this present Mapinduzi ya Dunia:

The primary cause of the sexual and cultural revolution is ideological. Our Lady of Fatima has said that Russia’s errors would spread all over the world. It was first done under a violent form, classical Marxism, by killing tens of millions. Now it’s being done mostly by cultural Marxism. There is continuity from Lenin’s sex revolution, through Gramsci and the Frankfurt school, to the current-day gay-rights and gender ideology. Classical Marxism pretended to redesign society, through violent take-over of property. Now the revolution goes deeper; it pretends to redefine family, sex identity and human nature. This ideology calls itself progressive. But it is nothing else than the ancient serpent’s offer, for man to take control, to replace God, to arrange salvation here, in this world. -LifeSiteNews.com, Oktoba 17, 2015

Inaishaje? Kulingana na Mtakatifu Yohane, hii "makabiliano ya mwisho ” huanza kuhitimisha, kwanza na ushindi unaonekana kuwa mfupi kwa Shetani, ambaye huelekeza nguvu zake kwa "mnyama":

Kuvutia, ulimwengu wote ulimfuata mnyama huyo. (Ufu 13: 9)

I say “seemingly,” because a snail is no match for a Savior. The Beast, whom the Church Fathers assign as the “Antichrist” or “lawless one”, will be destroyed by a manifestation of Our Lord who comes to bring about the decisive end to this particular satanic confrontation.

Mtazamo wenye mamlaka zaidi, na ile inayoonekana kuwa inaambatana sana na Maandishi Matakatifu, ni kwamba, baada ya anguko la Mpinga Kristo, Kanisa Katoliki litaingia tena kwenye kipindi cha kufaulu na ushindi. -Mwisho wa Ulimwengu wa Sasa na siri za Maisha yajayo, Fr. Charles Arminjon (1824-1885), p. 56-57; Vyombo vya Habari vya Taasisi ya

 

Following the Passion

Hiyo ni, Kanisa litafuata nyayo za Yesu: atapitia Mateso yake mwenyewe, ikifuatiwa na a ufufuo,^[3]cf. Ufufuo unaokuja na Ufufuo wa Kanisa in which the Kingdom of God will be established to the ends of the earth—not the definitive Kingdom of “Heaven”, but a temporal, spiritual kingdom, a “siku ya kupumzika” for the Church of Christ on earth. This, my dear brothers and sisters, has been taught from the very beginnings of the early Church: ^[4]cf. Jinsi Era Iliyopotea na Millenarianism-Ni nini na sio

Lakini wakati Mpinga-Kristo atakuwa ameangamiza vitu vyote katika ulimwengu huu, atatawala kwa miaka mitatu na miezi sita, na atakaa Hekaluni huko Yerusalemu; kisha Bwana atakuja kutoka Mbingu katika mawingu… kumtuma mtu huyu na wale wanaomfuata kwenye ziwa la moto; lakini kuleta nyakati za ufalme, yaani, zilizobaki, siku ya saba ... Hii ni itafanyika katika nyakati za ufalme, ambayo ni siku ya saba ... Sabato ya kweli ya wenye haki. —St. Irenaeus wa Lyons, baba wa Kanisa (140-202 BK); Adui za Marehemu, Irenaeus wa Lyons, V.33.3.4, Mababa wa Kanisa, CIMA Publishing Co

Tunakiri kwamba ufalme umeahidiwa kwetu duniani, ingawa kabla ya mbingu, tu katika hali nyingine ya kuishi… -Tertullian (155-240 BK), Baba wa Kanisa la Nicene; Adaptus Marcion, Mababa wa Ante-Nicene, Mchapishaji wa Henrickson, 1995, Vol. 3, Uk. 342-343)

It is also what Jesus taught the Apostles:

Kikombe ninachokunywa mimi, mtakunywa, na kwa ubatizo ambao mimi nabatizwa, mtabatizwa; lakini kukaa kulia kwangu au kushoto kwangu sio kwangu kutoa lakini ni kwa wale ambao imeandaliwa. (Mark 10: 39)

 

The Glory of the Kingdom

Hii "siku ya kupumzika” or “refreshing” prophesied by the Old Testament prophets, that follows the “Passover” of the Church, is affirmed in both Scripture and Sacred Tradition:

St. Peter says to the Jews of Jerusalem after Pentecost: “Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the pre sence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old”… Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers… The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection. -Katekisimu ya Kanisa Katoliki, n. 674, 672, 677

The "Utukufu" ya ufalme itaanza wakati maneno ya Baba yetu yametimizwa: "ufalme wako uje, mapenzi yako yatimizwe duniani kama ilivyo mbinguni."

Kwa maana siri za Yesu hazijakamilika kabisa na kutimizwa. Wao ni kamili, kwa kweli, katika utu wa Yesu, lakini sio sisi, ambao ni washirika wake, au katika Kanisa, ambalo ni mwili wake wa kushangaza. —St. John Elies, tolea "Kwenye Ufalme wa Yesu", Liturujia ya Masaa, Vol IV, ukurasa 559

After the Beast is destroyed, St. John foresaw this fulfillment of the Divine Will in the saints, this glorious reign of the Kingdom in the Church, as concomitant with a “ufufuo wa kwanza” — those “for whom it has been prepared” (Mark 10:40):

Pia nikaona roho za wale waliokatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda wao kwa Yesu na kwa ajili ya neno la Mungu, na ambao hawakuwa wamemwabudu yule mnyama au sanamu yake, wala hawakukubali chapa yake kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao au mikononi mwao. Wakawa hai na wakatawala pamoja na Kristo kwa miaka elfu moja. (Ufu 20: 4)

 

Kuja Kati

Kwa hivyo, "makabiliano ya mwisho" ya enzi hii hayafiki kilele na mwisho wa ulimwengu, lakini kuanzishwa kwa Ufalme wa Mungu ndani ya wale wanaovumilia hadi mwisho. Ni kana kwamba alfajiri ya kurudi kwa Kristo huanza kwa watakatifu, njia ile ile ambayo nuru huvunja upeo wa macho kabla ya jua kuchomoza. ^[5]cf. Nyota ya Asubuhi ya Kuinuka Kama vile Mtakatifu Bernard alifundisha:

Tunajua kuwa kuna kuja mara tatu kwa Bwana… Katika kuja mwisho, wote wenye mwili watauona wokovu wa Mungu wetu, na watamtazama yule waliyemchoma. Kuja kwa kati ni kwa siri; ndani yake tu wateule wanamwona Bwana ndani ya nafsi zao, na wameokolewa. -Liturujia ya Masaa, Vol I, p. 169; cf. Kuja Kati

Nini kinatokea baada ya makabiliano ya mwisho ya enzi hii na "enzi ya amani" inayofuata, ^[6]cf. Jinsi Era Iliyopotea na Millenarianism-Ni nini na sio iko wazi katika Maandiko:

When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. They invaded the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them. (Ufu. 20: 7-9)

Ufalme utatimizwa, basi, sio kwa ushindi wa kihistoria wa Kanisa kupitia a kuongezeka kwa maendeleo, lakini tu kwa ushindi wa Mungu juu ya kufunuliwa kwa uovu mwisho, ambayo itasababisha Bibi-arusi wake kushuka kutoka mbinguni. Ushindi wa Mungu juu ya uasi wa uovu utachukua sura ya Hukumu ya Mwisho baada ya machafuko ya mwisho ya ulimwengu wa ulimwengu huu unaopita.- Katekisimu ya Kanisa Katoliki 677

Kwa hivyo, ndugu na dada, tunapaswa kufanya nini tunapoingia sasa katika baadhi ya masaa ya giza kabisa ya "mapambano ya mwisho" ya sasa? Kama nilivyoandika hapo awali, wacha tujiandae badala ya Kristo, sio Mpinga Kristo; wacha tujiandae na Mama yetu kwa ujio huu wa Yesu katika Roho Yake aliyetukuzwa, kama katika Pentekoste mpya; tujiandae kuishi katika Mapenzi yake ya Kimungu kwa kujiondoa sasa kwa mapenzi yetu wenyewe; wacha tumilikishwe kabisa na Mungu ili tuweze kumiliki Yeye, sasa, na katika wakati ujao. Wacha tufuate nyayo zake siku hii, tukiwa waaminifu katika jukumu la wakati huu; kwa kuwa kwa njia hii, tutafika salama popote tulipokusudiwa kwenda.

Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. (Second reading)

Knowing that, in Jesus, we are assured victory, let us pray in all hope and joy the words of the psalmist — for Jesus has not left us behind; He is with us until the very end.

See, the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him, upon those who hope for his kindness, to deliver them from death and preserve them in spite of famine. Our soul waits for the Lord, who is our help and our shield. May your kindness, O Lord, be upon us who have put our hope in you. (Zaburi 33: 18-21)
