UYESU “Lukhanyiso lwehlabathi” (Yohane 8:12). NjengoKristu ukuKhanya ngaphandle Kugxothwe kwiintlanga zethu, inkosana yobumnyama ithatha indawo yaYo. Kodwa uSathana uza engengobumnyama, kodwa njenge ukukhanya kobuxoki.
KUKHULU
Kuyacaca ukuba ukukhanya kwelanga kuyinto enkulu Umthombo wokuphilisa kunye nempilo eyabantu. Ukunqongophala kokukhanya kwelanga kungqinisiswa ngokwezonyango ukuba kukhokelela kuxinzelelo kunye nazo zonke iintlobo zeengxaki zempilo.
Ukukhanya okungekuko kwelinye icala — ngakumbi ukukhanya kwefluorescent — kuyaziwa ngokuba yingozi. Kuye kwakhokelela nasekufeni ngaphambi kwexesha kwizilwanyana zaselebhu. Ngapha koko, imibala eyahlukeneyo yembonakalo inokubangela iimvakalelo ezithile kunye nokuziphatha xa kuhluzwa.
Ukukhanya kwelanga, nangona kunjalo, kuyabonelela uluhlu olupheleleyo Zonke izinto ezihamba rhoqo.
Ukukhanya kwelanga ngama-98 ekhulwini kungena ngelihlo, enye ipesenti ezimbini ngolusu. Ngenxa yoko, uYesu wathetha into ebaluleke kakhulu:
Isibane somzimba liliso lakho. Xa sukuba iliso lakho lilungile, umzimba wakho uphela uyakhanyiseleka; kodwa xa sukuba kulungile, umzimba wakho usebumnyameni. (ULuka 11:38)
Ngelixa sisazi ukuba ukungabikho kwelanga kuyawonakalisa umzimba, uYesu wayebhekisa ikakhulu emphefumlweni.
UKUKHANYA KOBUXOKI
Likhohlise abemi bomhlaba ngemiqondiso elavunyelwa ukuba liyenze phambi kwerhamncwa lokuqala, lathi mabenze umfanekiso werhamncwa… Lavunyelwa ke ukuba liphefumle ubomi kumfanekiso werhamncwa, ukuze umfanekiso werhamncwa uthethe… (ISityhi 13: 14-15)
Umfanekiso kaSathana namhlanje uhlala "eyingelosi yokukhanya" ekhanyisa kuthi nge isikrini. Umntu usenokuthi “iscreen” —ngaba sesomfanekiso bhanyabhanya, umabonwakude, okanye ikhompyutha — “ngumfanekiso werhamncwa.” Ngokwenene kukukhanya okungekuko ngokwendalo, kwaye amaxesha amaninzi, kukukhanya kobuxoki kwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha neyokomoya. Oku kukhanya, nako kungena ngamehlo — ngqo emphefumlweni.
Kuyabonakala ukuba iSt. Elizabeth Seton yaba nombono ngeminyaka yoo-1800 apho yabona “kumakhaya onke aseMelika a ibhokisi emnyama ebeya kuthi ngawo uMtyholi angene. Namhlanje, yonke ithelevishini, isikrini sekhompyuter kunye ne-smartphone ngoku "yibhokisi emnyama."
Ngoku bonke banokuqonda ngokulula ukuba kokukhona ukwanda kobugcisa bemiboniso bhanyabhanya, kokukhona kuye kwayingozi kakhulu ekuthinteleni isimilo, kwinkolo nakulwalamano ngokwasentlalweni ngokwalo… njengokuchaphazela abemi bodwa, kodwa noluntu luphela. yoluntu. —UPOPI PIUX XI, Incwadi Encyclical Cura ephaphileyo, n. 7, 8; NgoJuni 29, 1936
Ukukhanya kobuxoki yenza izinto ezimbini: iyasitsala kude nelanga. Zingaphi iiyure ezichithwe ujonge kumabonwakude okanye kwikhompyuter, okanye kwi-iPod okanye kwiselfowuni! Ngenxa yoko, esi sizukulwana sijamelana neengxaki ezinkulu zempilo, kubandakanya ukutyeba nokudakumba.
Kodwa okubi kakhulu, ukukhanya kobuxoki uthembisa ulonwabo kunye nokuzalisekiswa ngokuzalisa iimvakalelo ngemifanekiso yesondo kunye nentengiso yezinto eziphathekayo konke okuvelisiweyo ngokukhanya. "Umfanekiso uthetha" njengomprofeti wobuxoki, elahla indlela yenyaniso kwangaxeshanye ebonelela ngeVangeli engeyiyo egxile "kum, mna, nam." Ngenxa yoko, ukukhanya kobuxoki kuyila ngamehlo okomoya emehlweni emiphefumlo emininzi, ishiya “umzimba ebumnyameni” uphela.
UMCHASI-KRISTU, NOKUKHANYA KOBUXOKI
Njengoko ndibhalile Iphupha lalowo ungenamthetho, Bendinephupha eligqibele ngokubona usapho lwam “iziyobisi, ukubhitya, nokuxhatshazwa" kwi "Igumbi elimhlophe elilingana nelabhoratri.”Ngasizathu sithile, eli gumbi“ likhanyisiweyo ”lisoloko lihleli kum. Njengoko ndandilungiselela ukubhala oku kucamngca, ndafumana le imeyile ilandelayo:
Ephupheni lam, umfundisi wam (oyindoda elungileyo, engcwele, nengenatyala) weza kum eMisa, wandanga wandixelela ukuba uyaxolisa kwaye uyalila. Ngosuku olulandelayo icawe yayize. Kwakungekho mntu ubhiyozela uMthendeleko kwaye babini kuphela okanye ngabantu abathathu ababeguqe esibingelelweni. Ndabuza: “Uphi uBawo?” Baye banqwala ngentloko bendididekile. Ndaya kwigumbi eliphezulu ... elalikhanyiswe kukukhanya okumhlophe kwefluorescent (hayi ukukhanya kwendalo)… umgangatho wawugqunywe ziinyoka, amacikilishe, izinambuzane njl njl. Ndavuka ndisoyika.
Ngaba oku kunokuba sisikweko kuyo yonke iCawa yamaKatolika? Ndiva ukuba kulungile kwaye kungcwele kwaye umsulwa uyashiya kwaye yintoni eza kusala ngasemva yinto engathethekiyo engangcwalisekiyo. Ndithandazela bonke abantu abamsulwa abangcwele, bonke abathembekileyo ukuba bahlale bomelele ngeli xesha. Ndithandazela ukholo kuThixo wethu othandekayo wolu vavanyo lukhulu esiqala ukujongana nalo.
Umntu makasoloko elumkele ukutolikwa kwamaphupha. Banako, nangona kunjalo, ukusikhanyisela ngezinto ezikhoyo phambi kwethu…
UKUKHANYA KOBUXOKI EBANDLENI
ICawe yamaKatolika, njengoko uYesu noDaniyeli baprofetayo, iya kujongana nexesha apho idini leMisa liza kupheliswa (esidlangalaleni), kunye nezothe elizweni elingcwele (jonga kuMat 24: 15, Dan 12: 11 .; Yabona Ukusithwa koNyanaUPopu Paul VI wakhankanya uwexuko esele luqhubeka xa wathi,

Kwaye ngo-1977:
Umsila womtyholi usebenza ekuphelisweni kwehlabathi lamaKatolika. Ubumnyama bukaSathana bungene bangena kwiCawa yamaKhatholika nkqu ukuya encotsheni yayo.

Ewe, kwezinye iiparishi, iidayososisi, kunye nemimandla, ukukhanya kobuxoki kuye kwangena "kwigumbi eliphezulu" leentliziyo ezininzi. Kodwa ke, iCawe iyakuhlala ikhona, naphi na, njengoko uKristu wathembisayo (Mat 16:18); UkuKhanya kwenene kuyakuhlala kukhanya eCaweni, nangona okwexeshana, kunokuba kufihlwe ngakumbi.

Kuyathakazelisa ukuqaphela ukuba amazwe apheleleyo, afana ne-Australia, athuthela e-Australia khupha ukukhanya kwezibane ngeebhalbhu ezibengezelayo. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, njengoko uloyiko malunga nokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla kufikelela kwinqanaba elinobushushu, ilizwe liphela liya kucelwa ukuba lamkele ukukhanya kodwa okupholileyo, okubandayo kokukhanya kwefluorescence.
Ihlabathi ngokwasemzimbeni nangokomoya liyaqhubeka nokushenxa kwi “Spectrum epheleleyo.”
Bukela IYURE ENYE NAM ...
Njengokuba wonke umntu efuna ukukhanya ngokuthe ngqo elangeni, kukwanjalo nangomntu wonke ukuba afune uYesu, uNyana kaThixo (nokuba bayakuqonda okanye abakuqondi.) Indlela umntu afumana ngayo ukukhanya kukaYesu ikwa ngamehlo — amehlo entliziyo, ngokuzilungisa kuye mthandazo. Yiyo le nto uYesu egadini yaseGetsemane wanyanzelisa ukuba abapostile bakhe abadiniweyo nababuthathaka bathandaze ngelixa leentlungu… ukuze babenako ukukhanya hayi ukuwexuka. Yiyo loo nto uYesu ngoku ethumela umama wakhe ukuba asicenge ukuba sithandaze, sithandaze, sithandaze. Kuba "ilixa lokusasaza" lisondele (Mat 26: 31.)
Ngomthandazo, ngakumbi uMthendeleko, sigcwalisa isibane semiphefumlo yethu ngokukhanya (bona Ikhandlela elitshisayo)… Kwaye uYesu usilumkisa ukuba siqiniseke ukuba izibane zethu zigcwele phambi kokubuya kwakhe (Matewu 25: 1-12.)
Ewe lixesha lokuba uninzi lwethu lucime ukukhanya okungeyonyani okuphuma kwiithelevishini nakwiikhompyuter zethu, kwaye sichithe elo xesha silungisa amehlo ethu kukuKhanya okuyinyani… ukuKhanya okusikhulula.
Ngaphandle kokhanyiso lwangaphakathi, kuyakuba mnyama kakhulu ukubona kwiintsuku ezizayo…
INkosi ikwakhuza ezindlebeni zethu amazwi abhalwe kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo kwiCawa yase-Efese: "Ukuba awuguquki ndiza kuza kuwe ndize ndisuse isibane sakho endaweni yaso." Ukukhanya kungasuswa kuthi kwaye senza kakuhle ukuvumela esi silumkiso ukuba siphume kunye nokuzimisela okupheleleyo ezintliziyweni zethu, ngelixa sikhala eNkosini: “Sincede siguquke! Sinike sonke ubabalo lohlaziyo lwenene! Sukuvumela ukukhanya kwakho kuphakathi kwethu kuphume! Qinisa ukholo lwethu, ithemba lethu nothando lwethu, ukuze sikwazi ukuthwala isiqhamo esihle! ” -UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Ukuvula iHomily, Isinodi yoBhishophu, Okthobha 2, 2005, eRoma.
