Icoptic icon ye IPentekosti
Ukupapashwa kokuqala ngoJuni 6, 2007, umxholo wokubhaliweyo ubuyela kum ngombono omtsha wokukhawuleza. Ngaba sisondela kulo mzuzu kunokuba siqonda? (Ndiwuhlaziyile lo mbhalo, ndifaka izimvo zakutshanje ezivela kuPopu Benedict.)
PHI Ukucamngca emva kwexesha kubuhlungu kwaye kusibizela enguqukweni enzulu kwaye sithembele kuThixo, ayisosigidimi sentshabalalo. Ziyimemezelo yokuphela kwexesha, "ukuwa" koluntu, oko kukuthi, xa imimoya ehlambululayo yasezulwini iya kuvuthela amaqabunga afileyo esono kunye nokuvukela. Bathetha ngobusika apho ezo zinto zenyama zingezizo ezikaThixo ziya kubuyiselwa ekufeni, kwaye ezo zinto zimiliselwe kuYe ziya kutyatyamba “entwasahlobo entsha” ezukileyo yovuyo nobomi!
UKUPHELA KOBUDALA
Ixesha lobufundisi liyaphela…
La magama angene entliziyweni yam ngamanye amaxesha kunyaka ophelileyo, kwaye akhule ngamandla. Ingqondo yokuba ulwakhiwo lwehlabathi kunye neemodeli zolungiselelo njengoko sisazi kubo ziya kuphela. Ubulungiseleli, nangona kunjalo, ngekhe. Endaweni yoko, uMzimba kaKristu uya kuqala ukuhamba ngokwenyani njengomzimba, ngobunye obungaphezu kwendalo, amandla, kunye negunya elingalinganiyo ukusukela ngePentekoste yokuqala.
UThixo ubumba intsuba entsha apho aya kuyigalela khona iwayini entsha.
Iintsuba zewayini ezintsha ziya kuba lumanyano olutsha ngaphakathi kuMzimba kaKristu ophawulwe ngokuthobeka, ukuthobela, nokuthobela intando kaThixo.
Ukuba siza kuba yimikhosi yokwenene yomanyano, masibe ngabokuqala ukufuna uxolelwaniso lwangaphakathi ngokuzisola. Masixolele ubugwenxa esiye sabhekana nabo kwaye sibeke ecaleni yonke ingqumbo kunye nembambano. Masibe ngabokuqala ukubonisa ukuthobeka nokucoceka kwentliziyo ekufuneka sisondele kubungangamsha benyaniso kaThixo. Ukuthembeka kwidiphozithi yokholo ephathiswe abaPostile, masibe ngamangqina avuyayo ngamandla aguqulayo eVangeli! … Ngale ndlela, iBandla laseMelika liza kwazi ixesha elitsha lentwasahlobo kuMoya… -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Kwasekhaya, KwisiXeko saseNew York, ngo-Epreli 19, 2008
Ngamafutshane, intsuba yeewayini yi Intliziyo kaMariya ukuyilwa kubapostile bakhe. Ukuzinikezela, kunye nokuzinikela kwabantwana bakhe kwiNtliziyo yakhe yindlela ethi uMoya oyiNgcwele ayenze ngayo intliziyo yakhe ngaphakathi kwethu, nangaye, uYesu. Njengakwiminyaka engama-2000 eyadlulayo uMoya oyiNgcwele wamgubungela uMariya xa wayekulungele ukumitha, ngoku ke ngoku, uMary uyanceda ukulungisa le "ntsuba intsha" ukuze uMoya ka Yesu ubonakale kuthi. Icawe ke iya kuthi ngazwi-nye,
Ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum. (Gal 2:20)
Igumbi eliphezulu likaMariya
Singabuboni njani ubukho obungaqhelekanga bukaMariya kumaxesha ethu njengomqondiso kuthi? Uye wasibuthela kwigumbi eliphezulu lentliziyo yakhe. Kwaye njengokuba wayekho ngePentekoste yokuqala, ngokunjalo nokuthethelela kwakhe kunye nobukho bakhe buza kunceda ukuzisa iPentekoste “entsha”.
UMoya oyiNgcwele, xa efumene iqabane lakhe elithandekayo likhona kwakhona emphefumlweni, liza kuhla lingene kubo ngamandla amakhulu. Uya kubazalisa ngezipho zakhe, ngakumbi ubulumko, apho baya kuvelisa khona imimangaliso yobabalo… oko ubudala bukaMariya, xa imiphefumlo emininzi, ekhethwe nguMariya kwaye inikwe Oyena Thixo Uphakamileyo, iya kuzifihla ngokupheleleyo ezinzulwini zomphefumlo wayo, ibe ziikopi zayo eziphilayo, zithanda kwaye zizukise uYesu. —St. ULouis de Montfort, Ukuzinikela kwenene kwiNtombikazi eNyulu, n. 217, Ushicilelo lweMontfort
Ingqondo yam kukuba iPentekoste entsha iza kuqala "ngesilumkiso" okanye "ukukhanya kwesazela" ekuthethwa ngaso ngabangcwele kunye nabangcwele (bona Iliso leSiphango). Iya kuba lixesha elizukileyo lokomeleza, lokuphilisa kunye neminye imimangaliso. Uninzi lwabo ngoku besisenza imithandazo kunye nezibongozo zenceba kaThixo ziya kuba nethuba lokuguquka. Ewe thandaza, ube nethemba, kwaye uthandaze ngakumbi! Kwaye Lungela ngokuhlala kwimeko yobabalo (hayi kwi isono esibulalayo).
Abo bazenze lukhuni iintliziyo zabo kwaye bahlala beneenkani, nangona kunjalo, baya kuxhomekeka Umgwebo kaThixo. Oko kukuthi, ukukhanya kuyakusebenzela ukwahlula ukhula nengqolowa. Emva kweli thuba lokushumayela, ngaphambi kokuba uKristu aseke "Iwaka leminyaka" ithuba "lokuphumla", kunokuvela "irhamncwa kunye nomprofeti wobuxoki" (ISityhi 13: 1-18) oya kusebenza "imiqondiso nemimangaliso" emikhulu ukuze agqwethe inyani nobunyani bento eyayiyiyo "ukukhanya", akhohlise abo ukuwa kweli xesha langoku "kowexuko olukhulu" kwaye ngubani ngavumi ukuguquka. Njengokuba u Yesu watshoyo, "lowo ungakholwayo usele egwetyiwe" (Yohane 3:18).
Ke ngoko uThixo ubathumela ulahlekiso olomeleleyo, ukuze babakholelwe ababuxoki, ukuze bagwetywe bonke abangakholwanga yiyo inyaniso, basuka bakholiswa kuko ukungalungisi. (2 Tes. 2:11 :)
INTLIZIYO YOKUCHAZA
Ndiyathandaza ngoku ukuba siqonde ukungxamiseka kweentsuku zethu. Ndiyathandaza siqonda ukuba kutheni uMariya esicela ukuba sithandazele imiphefumlo. Ngamana singaqonda ngokunzulu iinyembezi ezihamba ngokukhululekileyo emehlweni akhe kwimifanekiso yakhe nakwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo kwihlabathi liphela. Mininzi imiphefumlo engekasindiswa, kwaye ubala thina. Ngemithandazo yethu nangokuzila ukutya, mhlawumbi iintsuku iya kufutshane xa sithandaza,Mabufike uBukumkani bakho."
Kodwa kukho uvuyo olukhulu kulo Mama uyintanda! UMariya usilungiselela ukuza kobukumkani bukaThixo, uMoya oyiNgcwele, kwisithulu esitsha, kunye nokuphela kweli xesha lokuwa kunye nokufika Isivuno Esikhulu. Intliziyo yam igcwele ulindelo olukhulu kunye novuyo! Ndiva sele, njengobushushu bokuqala bentsasa, ubabalo namandla nothando lukaThixo oluza kuhamba kwezi zitya zodongwe zethu. Kuya kufana "nehlobo laseIndiya" ngaphambi kokuba kufike ubusika, kunye umnyango weTyeya uvaliwe.
Kukulindelwa kwe Uloyiso lukaMariya… Uloyiso lweCawe.
Uzuko nendumiso kuwe Nkosi Yesu Krestu, Kumkani wam, Thixo wam, naku Konke! Mdumiseni bazalwana! Mdumiseni oodade! Mdumiseni kwindalo yonke! Le yimihla kaEliya!
… Masicele kuThixo ubabalo lwePentekosti entsha… Ngamana iilwimi zomlilo, zidibanisa uthando oluvuthayo lukaThixo nommelwane ngenzondelelo ekusasazeni uBukumkani bukaKristu, zehle kubo bonke abakhoyo! -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Kwasekhaya, KwisiXeko saseNew York, ngo-Epreli 19, 2008
UThixo akasinikanga moya wobugwala kodwa wasinika amandla nothando kunye nokuzeyisa. (2 Tim 1: 7)
Vuleleka kuKristu, wamkele uMoya, ukuze iPentekoste entsha yenzeke kuluntu lonke! Ubuntu obutsha, obonwabileyo, buya kuvela phakathi kwakho; Uya kuphinda ube namava okusindisa kweNkosi. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, “Intetho KwabaBhishophu BaseLatin America,” L'Osservatore Romano (uhlelo lwesiNgesi)KaOktobha 21, 1992, iphe. 10, sec. 30.
