UMichael Michael iNgelosi enkulu -UMichael D. O'Brien
LWE Ukubhalwa kwaqala ukuthunyelwa ngoDisemba ka-2005. Ngomnye wemibhalo ephambili kule ndawo ethe yavela kwezinye. Ndiyivuselele kwaye ndiyithumele kwakhona namhlanje. Eli ligama elibaluleke kakhulu… Ibeka kumxholo izinto ezininzi ezenzeka ngokukhawuleza ehlabathini namhlanje; kwaye ndisiva eli lizwi kwakhona ngeendlebe ezintsha.
Ngoku, ndiyazi ukuba abaninzi benu badiniwe. Uninzi lwenu lufumana kunzima ukufunda le mibhalo kuba ijongana nezifundo eziphazamisayo eziyimfuneko ukukhupha ububi. Ndiyaqonda (mhlawumbi ngaphezulu kunokuba bendinqwenela njalo.) Kodwa umfanekiso ofike kum ngale ntsasa ngulowo waBapostile abalele eGadini yaseGetsemane. Baye boyiswa lusizi kwaye bafuna ukuvala amehlo abo balibale konke. Ndiva uYesu ephinda esithi kuwe nakum, abalandeli bakhe:
Kutheni ulele nje? Vuka uthandaze, ukuze ungavavanywa. (ULuka 22:46)
Ewe kunjalo, njengoko kucaca ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba iBandla lijongane nokuthanda kwakhe, isilingo "sokubaleka umyezo" siya kukhula. UKristu sele elungiselele kwangaphambili ubabalo mna nawe esiludinga ngale mihla.
Kumdlalo kamabonwakude esiza kuqala ukusasaza kwi-intanethi kungekudala, Ukwamkela iThemba, Ndiyazi ukuba uninzi lwezi zibabalo luya kunikwa ukomeleza, kanye njengokuba noYesu womelezwa yingelosi eGadini. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba ndifuna ukuyigcina imfutshane le mibhalo, kunzima kum ukudlulisa "ngoku ilizwi" endilivayo, kwaye ndinike ukulingana okugqibeleleyo phakathi kwesilumkiso kunye nenkuthazo ngaphakathi kwinqaku ngalinye. Ibhalansi ilele kuwo wonke umzimba womsebenzi apha.
Uxolo malube nawe! UKrestu ukufuphi, soze akushiye!
–ISIPHEPHO SESINE -
EZIMBALWA kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, ndaye ndanamava anamandla endandiwabelane ngawo kwinkomfa eyayise Canada. Emva koko, ubhishophu weza kum wandikhuthaza ukuba ndibhale loo mava ngendlela yokucamngca. Ke ngoku ndiyabelana nawe. Ikwayinxalenye "yelizwi" uFr. Mna noKyle Dave safumana ukuwa okokugqibela xa iNkosi yayibonakala ngathi ithetha ngokuprofetayo kuthi. Sele ndithumele "iiPetal" zokuqala ezintathu zentyatyambo yesiprofeto apha. Ke, oku kuyila uPetal wesine wale ntyatyambo.
Ukuqonda kwakho…
“UMPHATHI OPHAKANISIWEYO UPHakanyisiwe”
Ndandiqhuba ndedwa eBritish Columbia, eCanada, ndisiya kwikhonsathi yam elandelayo, ndonwabela ubuhle bendalo, ndikhukuliswa yingcinga, ngequbuliso ndeva entliziyweni yam amazwi,
Ndiphakamise I restrainer.
Ndeva into emoyeni wam kunzima ukuyichaza. Kwakungathi kuthuka ngamandla emhlabeni. ngokungathi kukho into kwindawo yokomoya ekhululwe.
Ngobo busuku kwigumbi lam le-motel, ndabuza iNkosi ukuba le nto ndiyivileyo ibiseZibhalweni na. Ndithathe ibhayibhile yam, ndavula ngqo 2 kwabaseTesalonika 2: 3. Ndiqale ukufunda:
Makungabikho namnye unikhohlisayo nangayiphi na indlela. Kuba ngaphandle kokuba uwexuko luze kuqala aze lowo uchasene nomthetho atyhileke…
Ndithe xa ndifunda la mazwi, ndakhumbula into eyathethwa ngumbhali ongumKatolika kunye nomvangeli uRalph Martin kumxwebhu endandiwenze e-Canada ngo-1997 (Yintoni Kwilizwe Eliqhubekayo):
Asikaze sikubone ukuphambuka okunje elukholweni kwiinkulungwane ezili-19 ezidlulileyo njengoko sinjalo kulekhulu leminyaka. Ngokuqinisekileyo singumgqatswa wowexuko olukhulu.
Igama elithi “uwexuko” libhekisa kwinkxwaleko yamakholwa okholweni. Ngelixa le ingeyondawo yokwenza uhlalutyo lwamanani, kuyacaca kwizilumkiso zikaPapa uBenedict XVI noJohn Paul II ukuba iYurophu noMntla Melika baphantse balushiya ukholo, kunye namanye amazwe amaKatolika. Ukujongwa ngokungagungqiyo kwamanye amahlelo obuKristu kubonisa ukuba zonke ziyaqhekeka ngokukhawuleza njengoko beshiya imfundiso yesiko lobuKristu yokuziphatha.
Ngoku uMoya uthi ngokucacileyo ukuba kumaxesha okugqibela abanye baya kujika elukholweni, beqwalasele imimoya ekhohlisayo, nemiyalelo yeedemon ngokuhanahanisa kwamaxoki anezazela ezinophawu (1 Tim 4: 1-3)
UMTHETHO ONGENAMTHETHO
Eyona nto ibambe umdla wam yile nto bendiyifunda ngakumbi:
Kwaye uyazi ukuba yintoni ukuthintela ukuze abonakalaliswe ngexesha lakhe. Kuba imfihlelo yokuchasana nomthetho iselisebenza; kuphela yena ngoku uyabamba Uya kuyenza de aphume endleleni. Uya kwandula ke umchasi-mthetho atyhileke…
Lowo ubanjiweyo, umchasi-mthetho, ngu Umchasi-Kristu. Le ndinyana ayicacanga ncam malunga nokuba ngubani okanye yintoni kanye kanye ebamba umchasi-mthetho. Abanye abafundi bezakwalizwi bathelekelela ukuba yi-St Michael Ingelosi enkulu okanye ukuvakaliswa kweVangeli kuye eziphelweni zomhlaba okanye kwigunya elibophelelayo likaBawo oyiNgcwele. UKhadinali John Henry Newman usalatha ekuqondeni 'kwababhali bamandulo' abaninzi:
Ngoku ke eli gunya lithintelayo livunywa njengobukhosi baseRoma… andiyiniki into yokuba ubukhosi baseRoma bumkile. Kude lee: ubukhosi baseRoma buhleli unanamhla. -Onobungqina bokuba uJohn Henry Newman (1801-1890), Iintshumayelo ezizayo malunga noMchasi-Kristu, INtshumayelo I
Kuxa ubukhosi baseRoma buqhekeka apho umchasi-Kristu evela khona:
Kobu bukumkani kuya kusuka kume ookumkani abalishumi, kuvele omnye emva kwabo; Uya kwahluka kwabo bangaphambili, akubeka phantsi ookumkani abathathu. (Dan 7:24)
USathana angasebenzisa izixhobo ezothusayo zobuqhetseba — angazifihla — angazama ukusihenda kwizinto ezincinci, ukuze ashukumise iBandla, hayi ngexesha elinye, kodwa kancinci kancinci kwisikhundla salo sokwenyani. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba wenze lukhulu ngale ndlela kwezi minyaka zimbalwa zidlulileyo… ngumgaqo-nkqubo wakhe ukusisahlula nokusasa, ukusisusa ngokuthe ngcembe elityeni lethu lamandla. Kwaye ukuba kuyakubakho intshutshiso, mhlawumbi iyakuba yiyo emva koko; ke, mhlawumbi, xa sonke kwiindawo zonke zeNgqobhoko sahlulelene kakhulu, kwaye sincitshisiwe, sizele lucalucalulo, sisondele kakhulu kuqhekeko. Xa siziphose emhlabeni kwaye sixhomekeke ekukhuselekeni kulo, kwaye sikuncamile ukuzimela kwethu namandla ethu, uya kuthi ke aqhume kuthi ngomsindo ade amvumele uThixo. Emva koko uBukhosi baseRoma bungaqhekeka, kwaye uMchasi-Kristu abonakale njengomtshutshisi, kwaye izizwe ezinoburharha zijikeleze -Ukwazi ukwenza uJohn Henry Newman, Intshutshiso IV: Ukutshutshiswa komchasi-Kristu
Ndazibuza… ingaba iNkosi imkhulule ngoku umchasi-mthetho ngendlela efanayo nale yokuba uYudas “akhululwe” ngayo ukuze athethele uKrestu? Oko kukuthi, ngaba amaxesha okuba "nomnqweno wokugqibela" weCawa asondele?
Lo mbuzo uwedwa wokuba ingaba uMchasi-Kristu angakhona na emhlabeni ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo uza kuthi uthabathe amanyathelo okophula amehlo: “Kukuphendula okungaphaya…. paranoia… uloyiko…. ” Nangona kunjalo, andiyiqondi le mpendulo. Ukuba uYesu wathi uza kubuya ngenye imini, eyandulelwa lixesha lokreqo, imbandezelo, intshutshiso kunye noMchasi-Kristu, kutheni sikhawuleza sicebisa ukuba ayinakwenzeka lo mhla wethu? Ukuba uYesu wathi kufuneka 'sibukele kwaye sithandaze' kwaye 'sihlale siphaphile' malunga nala maxesha, ndiye ndibone ukuba ukugxothwa kwangoko kuyo nayiphi na ingxoxo ye-apocalyptic kuyingozi kakhulu kunengxoxo ezolileyo kunye nengqondi.
Ukuthandabuza okuxhaphakileyo kwicala labanye abacinga ngamaKatolika ukuba bangene kuvavanyo olunzulu lwezinto ezingabalulekanga ebomini, ndiyakholelwa, yinxalenye yengxaki abafuna ukuyiphepha. Ukuba ukucinga kwe-apocalyptic kushiywe ubukhulu becala kwabo baye baxhotyiswa okanye abaye baba ngamaxhoba othuselo lwe-cosmic, ke uluntu lwamaKristu, ngokwenene uluntu luphela, luhlwempuzeke kakhulu. Kwaye loo nto inokulinganiswa ngokubhekisele kwimiphefumlo yabantu elahlekileyo. Umbhali, uMichael O'Brien, Ngaba siphila kumaxesha eApocalyptic?
Njengoko bendibonisile amaxesha amaninzi, uninzi lwee popes khange zibaleke ukucebisa ukuba singangena kwelo xesha lembandezelo. UPopu Saint Pius X kwincwadi yakhe yoncwadi ka-1903, E Supremi, wathi:
Xa konke oku kuthathelwa ingqalelo kukho isizathu esihle soloyiko hleze obu bugwenxa bukhulu bube ngathi kukungcamla, kwaye mhlawumbi nokuqala kobubi obugcinelwe imihla yokugqibela; nokuba kungade kubekho umhlaba "uNyana wentshabalalo" athetha ngaye uMpostile (2 Tes. 2: 3). Ngokwenyani, bubukrwada nengqumbo esetyenziswe naphi na kwinkolo yokutshutshisa, ekulweni iimfundiso zokholo, kumzamo woburhalarhume wokuncothula kunye nokutshabalalisa lonke ubudlelwane phakathi komntu nobuThixo! Ngelixa, kwelinye icala, kwaye oku ngokwalo mpostile mnye luphawu olwahlula uMchasi-Kristu, umntu unesidima esingenasiphelo uzibeka endaweni kaThixo, eziphakamisa ngaphezu kwayo yonke into ebizwa ngokuba nguThixo; ngohlobo lokuba nangona engenakukucima konke ukumazi uThixo, ubudelile ubungangamsha bukaThixo, kwaye, ngokungathi kunjalo, wenza indalo iphela ukuba abe yitempile anqulwa kuyo. “Uhleli etempileni kaThixo, ezibonakalisa ukuba unguThixo” (2 Tes. 2: 4). -E Supremi: Ekubuyiselweni kwezinto zonke kuKristu
Kuyabonakala ngathi ukubuya kukaPius X wayethetha ngokuprofetayo njengoko wayeqonda "kwangaphambili, kwaye mhlawumbi nokuqala kobubi obugcinelwe imihla yokugqibela."
Kwaye ke ndibuza lo mbuzo: ukuba "uNyana wentshabalalo" uyaphila, angaba ukuchas 'umthetho Ngaba uza kuba sisigculelo salo mchasi-mthetho?
UKUBHALA
Imfihlelo yokuchas 'umthetho sele isebenza (2 Tes. 2: 7)
Oko ndeva loo mazwi,umphakamisi uphakanyisiwe, ”Ndiyakholelwa ukuba kubekho ukwanda ngokukhawuleza komthetho kwihlabathi. Ngapha koko, uYesu watsho oku kuyakwenzeka kwiintsuku ezingaphambi kokubuya kwaKhe:
… Ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabaninzi luya kuphola. (UMateyu 24:12)
Uthini umqondiso wothando olupholileyo? Umpostile uYohane wabhala wathi, “Uthando olugqibeleleyo luluphelisa uloyiko.” Mhlawumbi emva koko uloyiko olugqibeleleyo ulahla lonke uthando, okanye mandithi, lubangela ukuba luphole uthando. Le isenokuba yeyona meko ilusizi kula maxesha ethu: kukho uloyiko olukhulu omnye komnye, ikamva, elingaziwayo. Isizathu kungenxa yokungabikho komthetho okwandayo themba.
Ngokufutshane, kuye kwakho ukwanda okuphawulekayo:
- ukunyoluka kwamashishini kunye nezopolitiko kukhatshwa ngamahlazo koorhulumente nakwiimarike zemali
- imithetho echaza ngokutsha umtshato kunye nokuvuma nokukhusela i-hedonism.
- Ubunqolobi phantse baba yinto yemihla ngemihla.
- I-genocide iya ixhaphaka ngakumbi.
- Ubundlobongela bandile kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo ukusuka ekuzibulaleni ukuya ekudubuleni esikolweni ukuya ekubulaweni kwabazali / kwabantwana ukuya kwindlala yabangakwaziyo ukuzinceda.
- Ukuqhomfa kuthathe ezona ndlela zibuhlungu zokukhetha isisu kunye nokuzalwa kokuzalwa kwesisu sexesha elide.
- Kubekho ukonakala okungathethekiyo kwaye okukhawulezayo kokuziphatha kumabonwakude nakwimiboniso bhanyabhanya kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo. Ayisiyonto ingako esiyibonayo ngokubonakalayo, nangona iyinxalenye yayo, kodwa kwi oko sikuvayo. Imixholo yengxoxo kunye nomxholo ongathandabuzekiyo wee-sitcoms, iinkqubo zokwenza amadinga, imikhosi yeentetho, kunye nengxoxo bhanyabhanya.
- Imifanekiso engamanyala iye yaqhuma kwihlabathi liphela ngesantya esiphezulu kwi-intanethi.
- Ii-STD's zifikelela kumlinganiso wobhubhane kungekuphela kwilizwe lesithathu lehlabathi, kodwa nakwizizwe ezinjengeCanada neMelika ngokunjalo.
- Ukudibanisa izilwanyana kunye nokudibanisa izilwanyana kunye neeseli zomntu kunye izisa inzululwazi kwinqanaba elitsha lokwaphula umthetho kaThixo.
- Ubundlobongela obenziwa kwiCawa buyanda kwihlabathi lonke ngokukhawuleza okukhulu; Uqhanqalazo oluchasene namaKrestu eMntla Melika luya lusiba mandundu kwaye luye lube ndlongondlongo.
Qaphela ukuba, njengoko ukwanda kokuchasana nomthetho, kukwanjalo nokuphazamiseka kwendalo, ukusukela kwimozulu embi ukuya ekuvukeni kweentaba-mlilo ukuya ekuvuseleleni kwezifo ezitsha. Indalo iyaphendula kwisono soluntu.
Ethetha ngamaxesha awayeza kufika ngokuthe ngqo phambi “kwexesha loxolo” emhlabeni, uBawo weCawa uLactantius wabhala:
Bonke ubulungisa baya kuhlazeka, kwaye imithetho iya kutshatyalaliswa. -Lactantius, Ootata beCawa: Amaziko kaThixo, iNcwadi VII, Isahluko 15, Intyilalwazi yamaKatolika; www.newadvent.org
Kwaye sukucinga ukuba ukuchas 'umthetho kuthetha isiphithiphithi. Isiphithiphithi ngu isithelo yokuchas 'umthetho. Njengoko bendidwelisile apha ngasentla, okuninzi kokuchas 'umthetho kuye kwadalwa ngamadoda nabafazi abafundileyo abathi banike iingubo zomthetho okanye baphathe izihloko zeofisi kurhulumente. Njengokuba bemkhupha uKrestu ekuhlaleni, isiphithiphithi sithatha indawo yakhe.
Akuyi kubakho lukholo phakathi kwabantu, kungekhoxolo, nenceba, nehlazo, nenyaniso; Kananjalo akuyi kubakho kunqabiseko, nakurhulumente, nakuphumla ebubini. —Ibhidi.
INKOHLISO EHLABATHINI LONKE
Eyesi-2 kwabaseTesalonika 2:11 iqhubeka ithi:
Ke ngoko, uThixo ubathumela amandla akhohlisayo ukuze bakholwe bubuxoki, ukuze bonke abangakholwanga yinyaniso kodwa bavumile ukwenza okubi bagwetywe.
Ngeli xesha ndifumana eli lizwi, ndandifumana umfanekiso ocacileyo-ngakumbi njengoko ndandithetha kumarhamente- womelele Iliza lenkohliso Ukutshayela ihlabathi (bona Unogumbe wabaprofeti bobuxoki). Inani elandayo labantu lijonga ukuba iCawe ayinamsebenzi, lo gama ezabo iimvakalelo okanye ezengqondo zelo xesha zenza izazela zabo.
Ubuzwilakhe bobunyani bokwakhiwa bungakhange buthathe nto njengokuqinisekileyo, kwaye obushiya njengowona mgangatho wokugqibela kuphela komntu kunye neminqweno yakhe. Ukuba nokholo olucacileyo, ngokobungqina beCawa, kuhlala kubizwa ngokuba sisiseko. Ukanti, ukuthembela kubukho babantu, oko kukuthi, ukuvumela ubani ukuba aphoswe phantsi kwaye 'akhukuliswe yiyo yonke imimoya yeemfundiso', kubonakala kuphela kwesimo sengqondo esamkelekileyo kwimilinganiselo yanamhlanje. -Ukhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI) pre-conclave Homily, Epreli 18th, 2005
Ngamanye amazwi, ukuchas 'umthetho.
Kuba liyeza ixesha apho abantu bengayi kuyinyamezela imfundiso ephilileyo. Endaweni yokuhambelana neminqweno yabo, baya kuqokelela inani elikhulu lootitshala ukuba bathethe oko bafuna ukukuva ngeendlebe zabo. Baya kuyifulathela inyaniso, baphambukele kwiintsomi (2 kuTimoti 4: 3-4).
Ngokukhula komthetho kuluntu lwethu, abo babambelela nkqi kwiimfundiso zokuziphatha zeCawa baqondwa ngakumbi nangakumbi njengabanenzondelelo yempambano kunye nabalandeli bobufandamentali. Ntshutshiso).
IIMVAVANYO ZOKUVALA
Ndiwava la mazwi entliziyweni yam kaninzi, njengengoma yemfazwe ezindulini ezikude:
Bukela kwaye uthandaze ukuze ungabikho kuvavanyo. Umoya uyavuma kodwa inyama ibuthathaka (Mat 26:41).
Kukho ibali elifanayo kule "ukuphakanyiswa kwesithinteli". Ifumaneka kuLuka 15, ibali lika Nyana wolahleko. Unyana wolahleko wayengafuni ukuphila ngemithetho kayise, ke ngoko, uyise wamyeka; wavula umnyango wangaphambili—ukuphakamisa isibambisi ngokungathi kunjalo. Inkwenkwe yathatha ilifa layo (uphawu lwesipho senkululeko yokuzikhethela kunye nolwazi), yashiya. Inkwenkwe yaya kuyonwabisa "inkululeko" yayo.
Inqaku eliphambili apha yile: utata akayikhululanga inkwenkwe ukuze ambone etshatyalaliswa. Siyayazi le nto kuba isibhalo sithi utata wabona inkwenkwe ivela kude (oko kukuthi, utata wayehlala ejonge, elindele ukubuya konyana wakhe….) Wabaleka waya enkwenkweni, wamwola, wabuya nayo. —Amahlwempu, ze, kwaye balambile.
UThixo usasebenza ngenceba yakhe kuthi. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba sinokufumana, njengoko wenzayo unyana wolahleko, iziphumo ezibi zokuqhubeka nokwala iVangeli, kubandakanya Isixhobo sokuhlanjululwa solawulo lomchasi-Kristu. Sele sivuna oko sikuhlwayeleyo. Kodwa ndiyakholelwa ukuba uThixo uyakuvumela oku ukuze, emva kokungcamla ukuba sihlupheke kangakanani, ze, kwaye silambile, sibuyele kuye. UCatherine Catherine Doherty wakha wathi,
Kubuthathaka bethu, sikulungele kakhulu ukufumana inceba yakhe.
Nokuba siphila okanye asihlali kula maxesha axelwe kwangaphambili nguKrestu, sinokuqiniseka ukuba ngayo yonke imiphefumlo esiyiphefumlayo, wolula inceba nothando lwaKhe kuthi. Kwaye kuba akukho namnye kuthi owaziyo ukuba sizakuvuka ngomso, owona mbuzo ubalulekileyo ngulo, “Ndikulungele ukudibana naye namhlanje?"
