Ndiya kuba yindawo yakho yokubalekela-eli Lizwi ngoku

`` Sabela eYiputa '', UMichael D. O'Brien

UJoseph, uMary, kunye noChrist Child inkampu entlango ebusuku xa bebalekela eYiphutha.
Ukuma okuqaqambileyo kugxininisa imeko yabo,
ingozi abakuyo, ubumnyama behlabathi.
Njengokuba umama oncancisa umntwana wakhe, utata umi ajonge kwaye adlale ngobunono kwifluti,
umculo upholisa uMntwana ukuze alale.
Ubomi babo bonke busekelwe kukuthembana, uthando, idini,
kunye nokushiya kulwalathiso lukaThixo. -Amanqaku omculi

WE ngoku uyayibona isiza kuvela: udini lwesaqhwithi esikhulu. Kule minyaka isixhenxe idlulileyo, umfanekiso wenkanyamba yinto u Yehova ayisebenzisileyo ukundifundisa malunga nokuza emhlabeni. Isiqingatha sokuqala sesaqhwithi "ziintlungu zokubeleka" awathetha ngazo uYesu kuMateyu nakwinto echazwa nguSt John ngokweenkcukacha kwiSityhilelo 6: 3-17:

Niya kuva ngeemfazwe neengxelo zeemfazwe; ungoyiki, kuba zonke ezo zinto zimele ukuhla; kanti kona ukuphela akukabikho. Uhlanga luya kuvukelana nohlanga, nobukumkani buvukelane nobukumkani; kuya kubakho iindlala, neendyikitya zokufa, nezinyikimo zomhlaba kwiindawo ngeendawo. Zonke ezi zinto zikukuqaleka kwenimba… (Mat 24: 6-8)

ITYWINA LESIBINI?

KwisiTyhilelo kukho ubalo-maxesha awathi uYohane uYohane walingqina kumbono oqala ngobundlobongela behlabathi, uqoqosho olunefuthe, izibetho, indlala, intshutshiso… njl. Iqala kwakhona, ngokupheliswa koxolo lwehlabathi:

Xa yalivulayo elesibini itywina… Kwaphuma elinye ihashe, libomvu. Lowo ke wayehleli phezu kwalo wanikwa igunya lokususa uxolo emhlabeni, ukuze abantu babulalane. Kwaye wanikwa ikrele elikhulu. (ISityhi 6: 3-4)

Njengokuba izizwe ziqhubeka ukuhlangana kuMbindi Mpuma kunye nemikhosi yazo kunye neenqanawa, kusengqiqweni ukuzibuza ukuba asisondeli ngokukhawuleza ekuvuleni kweTywina lesiBini. Njengokuba uqoqosho lwehlabathi lubuthathaka kangaka, naluphi na uhlobo lokuphazamiseka lunokuthumela iimali kwi-tailpin-engenakuphepheka ngaphandle kwetyala elininzi, ngakumbi amazwe aseNtshona. Into endiziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndiyibhalele ngokuqinisekileyo kukuba ikhona lincinci kakhulu ixesha eliseleyo, Kwaye kufuneka silungiselele utshintsho olukhulu oluya kuchaphazela inkalo nganye yobomi bethu. Sinokuba njalo iiveki kude neziganeko eziphambili… ezithi, ngokutsho kwabahlalutyi bemibala emininzi, ezoqoqosho, ezopolitiko, ewe, ziyimfihlakalo. Nje ukuba isiqhwithi esikhulu sihlasele, iinguqu kwihlabathi ziya kukhawuleza, zingenakuguqulwa, kwaye ziya kugqitywa ngoKoyisa kweentliziyo ezimbini. ^[1]cf. AmaTywina aSixhenxe oHlaziyo Kude kube nini esi saqhwithi sihlala, kuphela liZulu elaziyo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, imithandazo yethu idlala indima enkulu ekulibaziseni, ekunciphiseni, okanye mhlawumbi kweminye imimandla, nditsho nokucima ukohlwaya okuthile okuzayo. Ngamana la mazwi alandelayo, abhalwe nge-25 kaMeyi ka-2007, angathuthuzela kwaye aqinise umphefumlo wakho…

Xa ndandiqhuba ukutshona kwelanga phezolo, ndayiqonda iNkosi isithi,

Ndiya kuba yindawo yakho yokusabela.

Ndiyaluva uthando lwaKhe olunzulu kunye nenkxalabo ngathi… ukuze singoyiki xa sibona ilizwe liqhubeka lizika kulomthetho.

Ndikwenzele amalungiselelo!

Utshintsho olukhulu luyeza, kodwa kwabo bathembele kuYe, akufuneki sibe noloyiko konke konke. Cinga ngaBapostile ngaphambi kwePentekoste. Babekwigumbi eliphezulu, bengcangcazela kukoyika abasemagunyeni. Kodwa emva kwePentekoste, bazaliswa yinkalipho kangangokuba bajongana nabatshutshisi babo, ukuguqula abaninzi kuKristu. Kwaye xa babethwayo ngenxa yokholo lwabo kuye, bakufumana kungumcimbi, hayi ngokubaleka ngokoyika, kodwa kukuvuya eNkosini.

Sukuyenza impazamo: olu vuyo aluzange luphume kuhlobo lweemvakalelo, kodwa ukusuka Ngaphakathi. Kwakunamandla angaphezu kwendalo.

Amandla abawamkelayo kuMoya abenza ukuba babambelele ngokuqinileyo kuthando lukaKristu, bejamelene nobundlobongela babatshutshisi babo aboyiki. —St. UCyril waseAlexandria, Unqulo lweeyure, Umqulu II, iphe. 990

UMOYA WENKALIPHO

UThixo akasinikanga moya wobugwala kodwa wasinika amandla nothando kunye nokuzeyisa. (2 Tim 1: 7)

Ndiyakholelwa ukuba nge Iliso leSiphango, kuyakufika ukuthululwa okungummangaliso koMoya oyiNgcwele. Kuyakubakho ukumiliselwa kwamandla nothando kunye nokuzilawula, ukuzithemba okungcwele kunye nesibindi. Kulabo bafumana esi Sipho, bayakuba njengelitye xa bejamelene nenkanyamba. Izilingo ezinkulu zokubandezeleka kunye nemimoya yentshutshiso iya kubabetha, kodwa ayizukungena ekuKhanyeni naseMandleni kaKristu ahlala ngaphakathi kweentliziyo zabo ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele.

Kwaye uMariya, Umlingane kaMoya oyiNgcwele, uya kuba kufutshane, ingubo yakhe yolulwe phezu kwabantwana bakhe njengephiko loKhozi phezu kwenzala yakhe.

IXESHA

Ndicinga ngokuhlwanje ngebali likaHiroshima, Japan, kunye nabefundisi abasibhozo bamaJesuit abasinda kwibhombu yeatom eyaphoswa esixekweni sabo… iibhloko ezisi-8 kuphela ukusuka ekhayeni labo. Isiqingatha sesigidi sabantu sabhujiswa sibangqongile, kodwa ababingeleli bonke basinda. Kwanecawa ekufuphi yatshatyalaliswa kwaphela, kodwa indlu ababekuyo yonakala kancinane.

Siyakholelwa ukuba sisindile kuba besiphila umyalezo kaFatima. Sasihlala size sithandaze iRosari yonke imihla kwelo khaya. —Fr. UHubert Schiffer, ongomnye wabasindileyo owaphila eminye iminyaka engama-33 esempilweni entle engenazo neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga kwimitha; www.cubahome.com

Ewe, ababingeleli babehlala kwi Ityeya yomnqophiso omtsha.

Emva koko kukho ibali lika-Anne Caron owayehamba yedwa ngobusuku obunye kwitonela elide elimnyama. Indoda yeza kuye ivela kwelinye icala iphethe intonga ngesandla — kodwa ingamncedisi ukuba ahambe; wayeyiphethe nje.

Uloyiko lwandiqhekeza, ndandifuna ukulahla yonke into ndiphinde ndijike ndibaleke, kodwa phantse kwangoko ndangathi ndibona uMary ethatha isandla sam, iibhegi nazo zonke, saqhubeka ke sihamba. Sahamba ngqo yilendoda, yabonakala ukuba ayindiboni. Ndafunda kamva ukuba umama akakwazanga ukulala ngobo busuku kwaye wayehleli kwisitulo sakhe sokugungqa ethandaza irosari yakhe, ngakumbi mna. -101 Amabali akhuthazayo eRosari, Udade Patricia Proctor, OSC. p. 73

Kwaye ndicinga ngomhlobo wam endimthandayo owayefundela ukuba ngumfundisi. Wayeqhuba imoto yakhe egoduka, ethandaza iRosari, xa walalayo ivili. Isithuthi sakhe sicande ilori enkulu sithumela imoto yakhe ingxola kuhola wendlela. Impembelelo yengozi yamshiya ekhubazekile ukusuka esifubeni ukuhla… kwaye engakwazi ukuqhubeka noqeqesho lobufundisi.

Kutheni ndibandakanya eli bali? Kuba umhlobo wam ngoku unikela ukubandezeleka kwakhe ngoku kusindiswa inani elingenakubalwa lemiphefumlo angasoze ahlangane nayo kobu bomi. Ngaphandle kwentlungu eqhubekayo kumqolo wakhe osezantsi, kwaye nokuzama kwakhe ukunyamezela ngamanye amaxesha, khange abe krakra kwaye akayishiyanga iNkosi. Uhlala kwi umzuzu wangoku, ndithembele kuThixo ukuba ulapho kanye afanele ukuba lapho… (Qaphela: lo mfana sele eswelekile. Ndibe nelungelo lokucula emngcwabeni wakhe, itheko lokonwaba nosizi okoko ubomi bakhe bebubakhuthaza.)

IINTLIZIYO EZIMBINI ZOKHUSELEKO

UYesu unika uMama wakhe ukuba abe yindawo yokubalekela, iTyeya yoKhuseleko. Kodwa ayisoloko ikhusela umzimba-oswelekileyo kobu bomi phofu-kodwa kukukhusela ngaphezu kwako konke umphefumlo. Abo ke, babizelwe ukuba baphile nge Izilingo ezinkulu, Uya kuba nobabalo lokunyamezela sibindi nokuba bakhuselwe — okanye bajongane “namandla nothando nokuzilawula” koMoya oyiNgcwele — kubatshutshisi babo.

Kungenxa yoko le nto ngoku Lixesha lokuba ubambe lo mama ngesandla-lowo uliqabane loMoya oyiNgcwele. Oko kukuthi, thandaza iRosari yonke imihla, ekufuneka icamngce kwaye umazi kwaye umthande uYesu buqu. Kuya kusongelwa ngengubo ekhethekileyo yokhuseleko enikezwe ngolwalathiso lukaThixo. Kukhuselekile kwindawo ekhuselekileyo yentliziyo yakhe… ehleli ngokukhuselekileyo kwindawo yoNyana wakhe, uYesu Krestu, uMsindisi wehlabathi.

Iliwa kunye neMbacu.

Bayeke babongoze nokuthethelelwa ngamandla kweNtombi Enyulu engafakwanga, ethe, xa ithe yayityumza intloko yenyoka yakudala, yahlala ingumkhuseli oqinisekileyo "Uncedo lwamaKristu". —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Divini Redemptoris, n. I-59
