UPeter Martyr Uyalela ukuThula, Fra Angelico
WONKE UMNTU ndithetha ngayo. IHollywood, amaphephandaba angokwasemphefumlweni, iiankile zeendaba, amaKristu obuvangeli… wonke umntu, kubonakala ngathi, kodwa uninzi lweCawa yamaKatolika. Njengokuba abantu abaninzi bezama ukulwa neziganeko ezixakekileyo zexesha lethu -ukusukela Iipateni zemozulu ezimangazayo, kwizilwanyana ezifa zindawonye, ukuya kuhlaselo lwabanqolobi rhoqo-amaxesha esiphila kuwo, ukusuka kwimbeko, isaci "elephants.”Uninzi lwabantu luziva ngenye indlela ukuba siphila kumzuzu omangalisayo. Ukutsiba ukuphuma kwimixholo mihla le. Ukanti iipulpiti kwiicawa zethu zamaKatolika zihlala zithule…
Yiyo ke loo nto, umKatolika odidekileyo ehlala eshiyeka kwimicimbi yaseHollywood engenathemba yokuphela komhlaba eshiya iplanethi ingenalo ikamva, okanye ikamva elihlangulwe ngabaphambukeli. Okanye ushiywe kukungakholelwa kubukho bamajelo eendaba. Okanye utoliko lwenkohliso lwamahlelo athile obuKristu (vele uwele nje-kwiminwe yakho-kwaye-uxhome-kude kube kude-noxhwilo). Okanye umsinga oqhubekayo "weziprofeto" ezivela kuNostradamus, oosiyazi abatsha bexesha, okanye amatye e-hieroglyphic.
IDwala LENYANISO
Embindini walamaza agqabazayo okungaqiniseki kumi Namandla Iliwa, iCawa yamaKatolika, isiseko kwaye Ibhikhoni ye iqiniso eyasekwa nguKrestu ukukhokela abantu baKhe kula maxesha akutshanje, aqala ngokuNyukela kukaKrestu ezulwini.
Oku, ngaphandle kwakhe amanyundululu abuhlungu kunye namalungu asilelayo. Ukanti kwezinye iindawo, abashumayeli nootitshala bakhe baye bathula xa kufikwa kumba wokujongana namaxesha ethu: i-tsunami yokuziphatha okuhle, uhlaselo lomtshato kunye nosapho, ukutshatyalaliswa kwabangakazalwa, i-hedonism exhaphakileyo, nezinye izinto ezininzi eziphazamisayo. iintsingiselo. "Amaxesha okuphela," umxholo ojongwa rhoqo kwiZibhalo nguSt. UPawulos, uPetros, uYakobi, uYohane, uYude, kunye neNkosi ngokwaKhe, akukhankanywa kwaphela kwiipulpiti ezininzi. Izinto ezine zokugqibela-uMgwebo, iPurgatory, izulu, isihogo- ziye zatyeshelwa kakhulu kwisizukulwana. Isiqhamo sokuthula-njengoko sibukele ngexesha lokwenyani lenkcubeko yobuKrestu-sicace gca:
Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi; (Hoseya 4: 6)
Ewe, oku kuthula kabuhlungu akuyiyo yonke indawo; Pha are ababingeleli abathethayo. Ngapha koko, kukho amazwi awomeleleyo kunye ahambelana neNkcubeko. Kwi Kutheni le nto ooPopu bengekhwaza? Ndibonelela ngesicatshulwa emva kopopu emva kopopu echaza ngesibindi amaxesha ethu ngolwimi olungaphefumlelwanga. Kwi Iipopu, kunye neXesha lokuKhangela, Ndicacisa amagama anethemba kunye nesiprofeto sabapapa malunga nekamva lehlabathi. Kwimibhalo emininzi Apha, kubandakanya eyam incwadi, Ndicaphula ngokugqibeleleyo aBaseki beCawa basekuqaleni abacacisa gca malunga neziqendu ezithile zesiTyhilelo kwaye bacace gca Ukuphela kwale Age. Ndikwazile ukubonakala kweNkosazana Yethu (okuthetha ukuba iCawe ithi imiyalezo yayo kula matyala kufanelekile ukukholelwa, kwaye ngobulumko ukuthobela) kunye neengcwele ezahlukeneyo kunye neemfihlakalo.
Konke oku kuthetha ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele is ndithetha neCawe. Kodwa kutheni oobhishophu abaninzi nababingeleli bengathethi nabathembekileyo ngale micimbi? Kutheni le nto abathembekileyo bengancedwa ukuba bahambe, kwimeko yamaKatolika, kwingxoxo ekhulayo "yamaxesha okuphela" kwimithombo yeendaba ephambili?
UKUTHULA cwaka
Kudliwanondlebe lwencwadi kunye noPopu Benedict XVI, umbhali uPeter Seelwald wathetha ngale ngxaki:
SEEWALD: Kutheni le nto abashumayeli bethe cwaka ngokungathethi malunga ne-eschatology, ngaphandle kwento yokuba imicimbi ye-eschatological iyayichaphazela
wonke umntu ukhona, ngokungafaniyo "nezihloko ezihlala ziphindaphindeka" ngaphakathi kweCawa?
UBENEDICT XVI: Lowo ngumbuzo onzulu kakhulu. Ukushumayela kwethu, ukubhengeza kwethu, kuxhomekeke kwicala elinye, kuba ubukhulu becala ijolise ekudalweni kwehlabathi elingcono, ngelixa kungekho namnye umntu othetha ngalo ngomnye, umhlaba olunge ngokwenyani. Kufuneka sihlolisise izazela zethu kule ndawo. -Ukukhanya kweLizwe, Udliwanondlebe noPeter Seewald, Ch. 18, iphe. 179
Ingozi kukuba silahlekelwe ngumbono ogqithileyo—Oko kulala ngaphaya kwezinto eziphathekayo. Silahlekelwe yimiphumo engapheliyo yezenzo zethu zangasese nezasesidlangalaleni. Rhoqo, ayikhankanywa kangako epulpitini kungekuphela ngeengozi ezikhoyo eziyinxalenye "yemiqondiso yamaxesha," kodwa ezo zinto zingaphaya kwengcwaba.
Ezi zinto kunzima ukuzamkela ebantwini namhlanje kwaye zibonakala zingenakwenzeka kubo. Endaweni yoko, bafuna iimpendulo zekhonkrithi okwangoku, ngenxa yeembandezelo zobomi bemihla ngemihla. Kodwa ezi mpendulo azigqibelelanga okoko zingavezi mqondo kunye nokuqonda okungaphakathi ukuba ndingaphezulu kobu bomi bezinto, kukho umgwebo, kwaye ubabalo naphakade zikhona. Kwangelo phepha linye, kufuneka sifumane amagama amatsha kunye neendlela ezintsha zokwenza ukuba abantu bakwazi ukugqobhoza isithintelo sesandi sobutyebi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya kweLizwe, Udliwanondlebe noPeter Seewald, Ch. 18, iphe. 179
IINDLEKO
Njengoko ndandibhala eli nqaku, ndafumana i-imeyile evela kumfundi:
Izinto ezininzi zilungiselela ukwenzeka. Abantu abaninzi babonakala ngathi bayaziva. Abantu abaninzi bahamba nje ngamashishini abo, abakhathali nantoni na, abayihoyi into ezakuba… Hayi indlela ebuhlungu ngayo, abantu abamameli ngoku ngalo lonke ixesha…
Ndifumana amakhulu eeleta ezinje ngezi ezivela kubefundisi nakubantu nje. Abantu ingqiqo into eyenzekayo emhlabeni; Baziva ukuba konke akulunganga kwaye loo nto into ethile ikude nje. OoBawo abaNgcwele, iCatechism, kunye noMama wethu osikelelweyo banokunxibelelana ngako! Kodwa ihlala ingacoci iye kwinqanaba leparadesi; ayenzi indlela yayo esihlalweni, kwaye ngenxa yoko, iigusha ziyabhadula ziye kwamanye amadlelo zikhangela iimpendulo.
… Akukho ndlela ilula yokuyithetha. Icawe eMelika iwenzile umsebenzi ombi wokudala ukholo kunye nesazela samaKatolika ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40. Kwaye ngoku sivuna iziphumo-kwindawo kawonke-wonke, kwiintsapho zethu nakwisiphithiphithi sobomi bethu. —UBhishophu Omkhulu uCharles J. I-Chaput, Ikhefu le-OFM, Ukunikezela kuKesare: UmKatolika Kwezopolitiko Umsebenzi, NgoFebruwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada
… Awubomelezanga ababuthathaka okanye uphilise abagulayo okanye ubophe abonzakeleyo. Awuzange ubabuyise abo baphambukileyo okanye ufune elahlekileyo, kodwa waba yinkosi kubo ngqongqo nangenkohlakalo. Bachithachitheka ngenxa yokuswela umalusi, baba kukudla kwawo onke amarhamncwa asendle. (UHezekile 34: 4-5)
Ngaba ngenene siyafuna ukushiya “amarhamncwa” aseke amaKatolika kula maxesha anzima? Ngaba i-Nostradamus, ii-Mayan, okanye i-theorists yelenqe ingaba ngumthombo kuphela wolwazi kumaKatolika namhlanje?
Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi;
Pha are Abefundisi abazama "ukugqobhoza isithintelo sesandi" malunga izinto esijamelana nazo. Nangona kunjalo, namhlanje, ukuthetha ngoMama wethu osikelelekileyo, izinto zokugqibela, okanye ukutyhila ngasese-nokuba kuvunyiwe-kunokuthetha intlekele kubizo lomfundisi. Amaxesha amaninzi, ndibone abathembekileyo, abathanjisiweyo, abanesibindi (kwaye ewe, abangafezekanga) bethetha ngezi zinto… kuphela ukuba basuswe kwiiparishi zabo, babelwe njengabafundisi ezintolongweni okanye ezibhedlele, okanye bavalelwe kwiindawo ezikude zedayosisi (jonga Umhlonyane).
Inika ukhetho olunzima: thintela ukujongana nale micimbi iphikisanayo ukuze kugcinwe amanzi ethulile… okanye utsho njalo, uthembe ukuba "inyani iyakukukhulula," nokuba ingadala udaka. Ngokuqinisekileyo uKristu akazange eze kuzolisa amanzi olwandle lonke:
Musani ukucinga ukuba ndize kungenisa uxolo emhlabeni. Ndizile ukuzisa Uxolo kodwa ikrele… (Mat 10: 34-35)
Kwincoko endibe nayo nomdikoni oselula, wathi, “Kufuneka sikhethe amagama ethu ngononophelo.
Ngamanye amaxesha umntu akanakuthetha into ayifunayo kuba kukho umntu omnye waseParishini oza kunibangela inkathazo… ”Ndaphendula ndathi,“ Mhlawumbi lubizo lwakho olo — ubizo lwabefundisi kule mihla yethu — ukuthetha inyaniso eya kuthi ibize indleko enkulu. Kuyinyani, kunokukulahlekisela ngamathuba okuba ubhishophu ngenye imini okanye ukuba ngumbingeleli onegama "elihle." NjengoYesu, unokuphinda ubuye ubethelelwe. Mhlawumbi lo ngumsebenzi wakho. ”
Xa umfundisi esoyika ukungqina into elungileyo, khange ajike umva abaleke ngokuthula? —St. UGregory Omkhulu, Imini yeeYure, IVol IV, iphe. 342-343
Umbingeleli ungcwaliselwe utshintshe uChristus - "omnye uKrestu." UYesu wathi kubapostile bakhe:
Likhumbuleni ilizwi endalithethayo mna kuni, elithi, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe. Ukuba banditshutshisa mna, bonitshutshisa nani; Ukuba ilizwi lam baligcinile, nelenu boligcina. (UYohane 15:20)
Ngenxa yoko, umbingeleli kufuneka "abeke ubomi bakhe ngenxa yezimvu zakhe" exelisa iNkosi yakhe. Inyaniso yabethelelwa emnqamlezweni ngenxa yokuthetha inyani. Kuya kuba yinto ephosakeleyo ukubamba yonke intsapho ukutya ngenxa yokuba elinye ilungu litye kakhulu. Ngokufanayo, akukho ngqiqweni ukungayibambi inyaniso ebandleni ngenxa yokuba amalungu ambalwa ethanda ukuba nomsindo. Namhlanje, kubonakala ngathi kukho uxanduva lokugcina uxolo kunokugcina umhlambi kwindlela emxinwa:
Ndicinga ukuba ubomi bale mihla, kubandakanya nobomi baseCaweni, buneengxaki zokungafuni ukukhubekisa ezithi zibubulumko kunye nokuziphatha okuhle, kodwa amaxesha amaninzi kujike kube bubugwala. Abantu banembeko omnye komnye nembeko efanelekileyo. Kodwa sikwafanele omnye komnye inyani-oko kuthetha ukunyaniseka. -Ubhishophu omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Ukunikezela kuKesare: Ubizo lwezopolitiko lwamaKatolika, NgoFebruwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada
UYesu wawagcinela amazwi arhabaxa lawo ayejolise ekukholiseni abantu kunokukholisa uThixo (Gal 1:10). Oku kusebenza kuthi sonke:
Yeha nina, xa bathe bathetha kakuhle ngani bonke! Kuba ooyise babo babaphatha ngaloo ndlela abaprofeti ababuxoki. (ULuka 6:26)
Asinakubatyala ithemba xa sihlwayela iimbewu ezingezizo…ukwenza ngathi izinto azizimbi kangako njengoko zinjalo okanye azikho kwaukubakho. Kwaye bona are imbi. Njengomnye umfundisi wathi kum kutsha nje, “Amazantsi sele eza kuwa. Kuza kubakho isiphithiphithi kunye nesiphithiphithi kuba umhlaba uqhekekile. ” Ubuncinci yile nto ithethwa ngabezomnotho abathembekileyo. Nokuba kunzima ukuva, inyaniso iyahlaziya.
HLOLA INYANISO
Ewe, kuyadinisa kwaye kububudenge ukuva amaKatolika ethetha ngabo bathetha ngobuninzi bexesha esiphila kulo "njengabagweba intlekele", "ixesha lokugqibela," okanye "intshabalalo kunye nosizi." Ukuba ndingangabinangqondo, la maKatolika kufuneka akhuphe iintloko zawo entlabathini yokungazi, kwaye aqale ukumamela into ethethwa nguBawo oyiNgcwele:
Ikamva lehlabathi lisemngciphekweni. -POPE BENEDICT XVI, Idilesi kwiRomania, nge-20 kaDisemba ngo-2010 (jongaNgomhla kaEva)
Ewe, ihamba ngeendlela zombini. Apho ababingeleli bashumayela khona izinto ezichanekileyo kumaxesha ethu, zininzi kakhulu iigusha ezingathanda njalo hayi yiva, gxebe hayi Iindlela zabo zokuphila eziphazamisekileyo ziphazamisekile.
Imini yonke Ndizolule izandla zam kwabangathobeliyo nabachasayo abantu. (Roma 10:21)
Ngaba sikhohlisiwe ukuba sicinge ukuba ukwamkela "inkcubeko yokufa" kuya kukhokelela kuxolo nobulungisa emhlabeni? Kuya kuphelela ekubhujisweni kweentlanga. Ayisiyo intshabalalo kunye nobumnyama, kodwa inyani ebuhlungu yokuba uMama kaThixo ebesicela ukuba siguquke, kwaye ukuba uJohn Paul II kunye noBenedict XVI bachaze kwiingxelo ezisemthethweni nezingekho mthethweni.
Kufuneka sikulungele ukujamelana novavanyo olukhulu kwixesha elizayo elingekude kakhulu; izilingo eziya kufuna ukuba sincame nobomi bethu, kunye nesipho esipheleleyo sokuzinikela kuKristu nakuKristu. Ngemithandazo yakho neyam, kunokwenzeka ukunciphisa le mbandezelo, kodwa akusenakwenzeka ukuyinqanda, kuba kungale ndlela kuphela apho iBandla linokuhlaziywa ngokufanelekileyo. Kukangaphi na, ewe, apho kuhlaziywa iCawa kwenziwe egazini? Ngeli xesha, kwakhona, ngekhe ibe njalo. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II ethetha neqela labahambi ngezonqulo baseJamani, IRegis Ukuskena, Umkhukula kunye noMlilo, uHomiletic kunye noPhononongo lwabefundisi, UEpreli 1994
Ukuthetha malunga namaxesha ethu anamhlanje, kunye nezilumkiso ezithembakeleyo zenkonzo, kuzakuba yingxaki kwabanye abantu; Abahlobo kunye nezihlobo banokuthi cwaka ngequbuliso; abamelwane banokujonga ngathi ungumphunga; kwaye usenokude uvinjelwe kwi-diocese okanye ezimbini.
Ninoyolo nina, xa bathe abantu banithiya, naxa bathe banigxotha, baningcikiva, balingcikiva igama lenu ngokuthi likhohlakele ngenxa yoNyana woMntu. (Luka 6:22)
Kodwa leyo yinxalenye yokuba ngumlandeli kaYesu, ukuba uyamlandela.
Ukuba beningabehlabathi, ihlabathi linge likuthanda okwalo; kodwa ngenxa yokuba ningengabehlabathi, ndaye ndininyulile mna naphuma kulo ihlabathi; (UYohane 15:19)
Sibizelwe ukushumayela yonke inyani, hayi kuphela izahlulo "ezilungileyo". Oku kukwaquka nokuthetha ngezinto zokugqibela, kubandakanya nemfundiso yeCawe kumaxesha "esiphelo." Sibizelwe ukushumayela i lonke IVangeli-hleze abantu batshabalale ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi.
Oko kugqitywe ngabaPostile kubandakanya yonke into eyenzela ukuhlala ngcwele phakathi kwabantu bakaThixo kunye nokonyuka kokholo lwabo. Ke, kwimfundiso yayo, ubomi kunye nokunqula iCawa iqhubela phambili kwaye idlulisele kuso sonke isizukulwana zonke kunjalo, kwaye zonke ukuba iyakholelwa.

Ndifuna intliziyo enothando kunombingelelo, ulwazi ngeendlela zam ngaphezu kweminikelo. -Antiphon 3, Imini yeeYure, Vol III, iphe. 1000
EZINYE IZIFUNDO:
Ndidinga inkxaso yakho ukuqhubeka nale nkonzo. Enkosi kakhulu.
