UHelix Nebula
THE intshabalalo yile, yintoni omnye umhlali walapha ekuchazeni kum "njengemilinganiselo yebhayibhile". Bendingavuma ukuthula cwaka emva kokubona umonakalo weNkanyamba uKatrina.
Uqhwithela lwenzeka kwiinyanga ezisixhenxe ezidlulileyo- kwiiveki ezimbini kuphela emva kwekonsathi yethu eViolet, kwiikhilomitha ezili-15 kumazantsi eNew Orleans. Kubonakala ngathi yenzekile kwiveki ephelileyo.
AKUQINISEKI
Imfumba yenkunkuma kunye nenkunkuma emgceni phantse kuzo zonke izitrato kangangeekhilomitha, iparishi emva kwepherishi, isixeko emva kwesinye. Amakhaya amabini anemigangatho – isamente kunye nawo onke-athathwa asiwa embindini wesitalato. Indawo yokuhlala yezindlu ezitsha kraca sele inyamalale, kungekho nkunkuma. Eyona ndawo iphambili ye-Interstate-10 isafakwe kwizithuthi ezonakalisiweyo kunye neenqanawa ezithwelwe nguThixo ziyazi apho zikhoyo. Kwi-St. Bernard Parish (kwisithili), uninzi lwabamelwane esasihamba nabo sele belahliwe, kubandakanya izindlu zodidi ezikumgangatho ophucukileyo (akukho mandla, manzi, kunye nabamelwane abambalwa ngeekhilomitha). Icawa esasisebenza kuyo yayinesibumbulu esirhubuluza sinyuka ngeendonga saya kufika apho iinyawo ezingama-30 zamanzi zazimi kwincopho yaso. Utshani obucocekileyo kulo lonke iparishi butshintshwe ziiyadi ezisasazwe ngokhula kunye neetyhula ezigutyungelwe ziindledlana. Amadlelo avulekileyo, akuba enamachaphaza eenkomo ngoku atyiswa zizithuthi ezijijekileyo ezimise iiyadi ezininzi kude naziphi na iindlela. Iipesenti ezingama-95 zamashishini kwiParish yaseSt. Bernard zitshatyalaliswe ngokupheleleyo okanye zavalwa. Ngokuhlwanje, ibhasi yethu yokhenketho imiswe ecaleni kwecawa uphahla lwayo lungekho. Awazi ukuba uphi, ngaphandle kwecandelo elinye elilele eyadini engaphambili ecaleni kweentsimbi ezijijekileyo nezakhiwo zecawe.
Rhoqo xa siqhuba ngokubulawa kwabantu, kwavakala ngathi sihamba kwilizwe lesithathu. Kodwa oku kwakunjalo America.
UMFANEKISO OMKHULU
Xa ndandihleli ndixoxa ngemini yethu nenkosikazi yam uLea kunye neqabane, uFr. UKyle Dave, kwafika kum: le yenye ye Ntathu iintlekele "zobukhulu bebhayibhile" kuphela konyaka omnye. I-tsunami yase Asiya yangcangcazelisa isiseko somhlaba, yabulala ngaphezulu kwama-200 000. Inyikima yasePakistan yabulala ngaphezulu kwama-87 000. Kodwa ke, i-Australia yabethwa luqhwithela lodidi 5; I-Afrika ngoku ifumana oko iingcali zikubiza ngokuba yeyona mbalela ingazange yabonwa; Imikhenkce yePolar iyanyibilika ngokukhawuleza isoyikisa amanxweme onke; Ii-STD ziyaqhuma kwezinye izizwe, kubandakanya Canada; ubhubhane olandelayo kwihlabathi lonke kulindeleke nawuphi na umhla; kunye ne-Islamics eyoyikisayo isoyikisa kakhulu ukuba inise imvula yenyukliya kwiintshaba zabo.
Njengoko uFr. UKyle uthi, "Ukubona okwenzekayo kwihlabathi liphela, kunye nokukhanyela ukuba kukho into eyenzekayo, omnye kufuneka abe yi-SOS - wanamathela kwisidenge"Kwaye awungekhe ubek 'ityala konke kubushushu behlabathi.
Ngoko ke, kuqhubekani?
Umfanekiso endinawo entlokweni yam kukubona abantwana bam bezalwa. Kwimeko nganye, sasingazi isini. Kodwa sazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba yayilusana. Kukwanjalo, umoya ubonakala ukhulelwe, kodwa yintoni kanye kanye, asazi. Kodwa into sele eza kuzala. Ngaba kukuphela kwexesha? Ngaba kukuphela kwamaxesha njengoko kuchaziwe kuMateyu 24, esisizukulwana sethu ngokuqinisekileyo esonyuliweyo? Ngaba kukuhlanjululwa? Ngaba zontathu?
Imibono namaphupha
Kubekho ukuqhuma kwamaphupha nemibono phakathi kwabahlobo kunye noogxa ngokufanayo. Kutshanje, abavangeli basemazweni abathathu endibaziyo ndibazi ukuba ngamnye wabo ubenephupha lokufela ukholo phambi kweSigramente Esikelelekileyo. Kude kube omnye wabo atyhile iphupha, abanye babini baqonde ukuba nabo babenephupha elifanayo.
Abanye babalise imibono yokuva nokubona iingelosi zivuthela ixilongo.
Esinye isibini saye sathandazela iKhanada phambi kwendlu. Njengoko babethandaza, iflegi yawa ngokungalindelekanga kwaye yawa phantsi phambi kwabo.
Indoda enye yandixelela ngemibono enayo yokucoca ioyile kwidolophu yayo etyebileyo yeoyile eqhuma kubunqolobi.
Kwaye ngelixa ndimathidala ukwabelana ngamaphupha am, ndiza kubalisa ngephupha elinye eliphindayo ukuba ngubani koogxa bam abasenyongweni ababenalo ngokufanayo. Sobabini sabona kwiinkwenkwezi zethu zamaphupha esibhakabhakeni ziqala ukujikeleza imilo yesangqa. Emva koko iinkwenkwezi zaqala ukuwa… ziguquka ngequbuliso zaba ziinqwelomoya zomkhosi ongaqhelekanga. Ngelixa la maphupha ayesenzeka kwakudala, sobabini beza kutoliko olunye (kunokwenzeka) mva nje, kwangolo suku lunye, ngaphandle kokuthetha omnye nomnye.
Kodwa ayisiyiyo yonke loo nto imbi. Abanye bandixelele ngemibono yokuphilisa imilambo ebaleka phakathi kwesizwe. Omnye ubalisa kum amazwi anamandla kaYesu kunye nomnqweno wakhe wokunikela ngentliziyo yakhe engcwele kubalandeli bakhe. Ngale mini, phambi kweSigramente Esikelelekileyo, ndibonakala ngathi ndiyayiva iNkosi isithi:
Ndiya kukhanyisa izazela, kwaye abantu baya kuzibona njengokuba zinjalo, kwaye njengoko ndinjalo ngokwenene ubabone. Abanye baya kutshabalala; uninzi alunako; Baninzi abaya kukhalela inceba. Ndiza kukuthumela ukuba ubondle ngokutya endikunike kona.
Ingqondo yam yayikukuba uKristu akalahlanga namnye kuthi emhlabeni, nkqu noyena mntu ungoyena moni, kwaye sele eza kuvumela inceba nothando lwakhe ukuba luqhume emhlabeni.
Ndidinga okweli nqanaba ukuthi, la maphupha, amagama, kunye nemibono konke kungaphakathi kwesizinda sesityhilelo sabucala. Ukhululekile ukubalahla ukuba ukhetha njalo. Kodwa abo bethu babamkelayo, okanye abo banqwenela ukubajonga bayayalelwa ukuba babone, kwaye bangabadeleli, ulumkisa uSt.
UKUJONGA
Abanye benu, ezi zinto zinokuvakala zisoyikisa. Kwabanye, iya kuqinisekisa ukuba uziva njani okanye uva ntoni. Kwaye okwangoku, abanye baya kuyibona le njengento yokoyika nje. Kuyavunywa ukuba, kunokuba yinto enkwantisayo (ngakumbi xa umntu enabantwana abasixhenxe.) Ukanti, ndanikwa isikhumbuzo esothusayo sobukho bukaThixo kunye nolwalathiso xa ndandihamba kule nkanyamba yantlitha ilizwe.
Zonke iibhloko ezimbalwa okanye kunjalo, siza kubona ikhaya apho umfanekiso kaMariya okanye uJoseph uhombise iyadi. Kwimeko nganye, umfanekiso wawungashukumi, kwaye ngokumangalisayo, wawungaphazamiseki. Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo weNkosikazi yethu kaFatima esayibonayo yayijikelezwe yintsimbi ejijekileyo ... kodwa umfanekiso ngokwawo wawulungile. Icawa endikubhalela kuyo ukusukela ngokuhlwanje ibethwe yinkanyamba ebangelwe yinkanyamba. Imiqadi yentsimbi yayilele ijijekile eyadini, ukanti, umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaMariya umalunga neeyadi ezikude, umi ngokuqaqambileyo nangokugqibeleleyo. Le mifanekiso iqingqiweyo ikho yonke indawo, utshilo uFr. UKyle xa siqhuba ngenye. Kwicawa yakhe, isibingelelo kunye nempahla yatshayelwa kwaphela. Yonke into ihambile-ngaphandle kwemifanekiso eqingqiweyo kwiimbombo zone zecawe, kunye no-St Therese de Liseux abeme kanye apho sasikhona isibingelelo. "U-St Jude ebengaphandle kwigadi yomthandazo ejonge phantsi eludakeni," utshilo uBawo. "Imithandazo yabantu yamzisa emadolweni." Uye wakhankanya nemizi yamarhamente apho iminqamlezo ibixhonywe ingashukumi eludongeni, ecaleni kwendawo ebekukho kuyo iikhabhathi zekhitshi.
Ubungqina abucaci. Iimpawu zikuyo yonke indawo. Yonke indalo iyancwina ilindele ukutyhilwa kwabantwana bakaThixo (KwabaseRoma 8:22)… kwaye phakathi kwayo yonke loo nto, uThixo ushiye imiqondiso yobukho bakhe nothando lwethu sonke. Ndiva kwakhona igama elicacileyo endivakalelwa kukuba lilungiselelwe umhlaba: "Lungisa". Ikhona into eza… kanye phezulu. Ngaba ukuqiniswa kwazo zonke ezi ziganeko, kuzo zombini amaxesha nobunzima, kunokuba zizilumkiso?
Ukuba bendinguNowa, ngendime emkhombeni wam, ndikhwaza kakhulu kangangoko ndinokuthi kuye nabani na onokuva: "Ngena! Ngena kwisikhephe senceba nothando lukaThixo. Guquka! Shiya ubudenge balo mhlaba… Ubunono besono Ngena emkhombeni.ngokukhawuleza!"
Okanye njengo-Fr. UKyle angathi, "Musa ukunamathela
sisidenge."
