Ngaba Nam Ndiza Kubaleka?

Ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni ngu-Michael D. O'Brien

 

AS Ndabukela kwakhona imuvi enamandla Umnqweno kaKristu, Ndabethwa sisibambiso sikaPeter sokuba angaya ejele, ade afele noYesu! Kodwa kuphela iiyure kamva, uPetros wamkhanyela kabukhali izihlandlo ezithathu. Ngalo mzuzu, ndabuqonda ubuhlwempu bam: “Nkosi, ngaphandle kobabalo lwakho, ndizakukungcatsha…”

Singanyaniseka njani kuYesu kwezi ntsuku zesiphithiphithi, ngcikivo, nowexuko? ^[1]cf. Upopu, ikhondom, kunye nokuCocwa kweCawa Singaqinisekiswa njani ukuba nathi asiyi kuwubaleka uMnqamlezo? Kuba sele isenzeka ngoku macala onke. Ukusukela ekuqaleni kwesi sibhalo sobuhedeni, ndiyivile iNkosi xa isithi Ukusefa okukhulu “lokhula phakathi kwengqolowa.” ^[2]cf. Ukhula Phakathi Kwengqolowa Ngapha koko a inkcaso Sele iqalile eCaweni, nangona ingekabikho ekuhleni ngokupheleleyo. ^[3]cf. Usizi lweentlungu Kule veki, uBawo Oyingcwele uthethe ngoku kuhluzwa kwiMisa yoLwesine eNgcwele.

… Njengokuba uKristu waxelela uPetros, “Simon, Simon, uyabona, uSathana ubenibanga, ukuze anihluze njengengqolowa,” namhlanje “sibuhlungu kwakhona ukuba uSathana uvunyelwe ukuba ahluze abafundi phambi kwehlabathi liphela. ” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kwiMisa leSidlo seNkosi, nge-21 ka-Epreli 2011

Simi phi wena kunye noku kuhluzwa? Ngaba siphakathi kokhula okanye ingqolowa?

Nathi sifumana izizathu zokuba ngabafundi bakhe beqala ukuba neendleko ezinkulu, nokuba yingozi. —Ibhidi.

Ukuba uYudas, uPetros, kunye nabaPostile babaleka eNkosini ngeyure yaKhe yosizi, ingaba nathi siza kubaleka eCaweni xa ingena kwiminqweno yayo? ^[4]funda uthotho lwesiprofeto malunga nokuza kweCawa: Ityala leminyaka esixhenxe Impendulo ixhomekeke kwinto esiyenzayo ngoku, hayi ke.

Ekugqibeleni, babekho abo bahlala phantsi koMnqamlezo, abangooMariya noJohn. Njani? Isibindi namandla abo avela phi? Ngaphakathi kwale mpendulo kukho isitshixo ngendlela uThixo aza kubakhusela ngayo abathembekileyo kwimihla ezayo neza kuza…

 

UYOHANE

KwiSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela, sifunda oku:

Omnye wabafundi bakhe, lowo wayethandwa nguYesu, wayelele ecaleni kwesifuba sikaYesu. (UYohane 13:23)

Nangona uJohn wabaleka iGadi ekuqaleni, wabuyela kunyawo loMnqamlezo. Ngoba? Kuba wayelele ecaleni kwesifuba sikaYesu. UJohn wamamela ukubetha kwentliziyo kaThixo, ilizwi likaMalusi eliphindaphinda kaninzi, "Ndiyinceba. Ndiyinceba. Ndinenceba… ” UJohn wayeza kubhala athi, "Uthando olugqibeleleyo lukhupha uloyiko ... " ^[5]1 Yoh. 4:18 Yayingumsindo wezo zokubetha kwentliziyo, ukuphindeka kabini kwe Uthando Nenceba, wakhokela uYohane emnqamlezweni. Ingoma yothando evela kwiNtliziyo eNgcwele yoMsindisi latshonisa ilizwi loloyiko.

Ngokunjalo nathi, ukuba sinqwenela ukuthwala owethu umnqamlezo siye eKalvari, ukuba sifuna ukoyisa uloyiko lwabo basitshutshisayo, kufuneka sichithe ixesha elele kufutshane nesifuba sikaYesu. Ngale nto, ndithetha ukuba kufuneka sichithe ixesha yonke imihla umthandazo. Kukuthandaza apho sihlangana noYesu. Kusemthandazweni ukuba sive ukubetha kwentliziyo yoLuthando eqala ukungqinelana nobuntu bethu bonke, elidlulileyo, elangoku, nelizayo, zibeka zonke izinto kwimbono yobuthixo. Nangona kunjalo, ngomthandazo andithethi ukuba simane “sibeka ixesha,” kodwa ukuba thina faka kuthi. Ukuba ndiza kuye njengomntwana omncinci, ndithetha naye ngokusuka entliziyweni, kwaye ndimmamele xa ethetha nam ngeLizwi lakhe. Ngale ndlela ubudlelwane busakhela kwi “…uthando olugxotha uloyiko. ”

Ingozi embi namhlanje kukuba abaninzi baye kuThixo ngentliziyo evaliweyo, "beka ixesha," kodwa ngaphandle kokuzinikela, ukuthembeka, nothando oluncinci. Kuyamangalisa ukuqonda ukuba uYuda, owangcatsha uYesu, ngokunjalo wathabatha uMthendeleko:

Lowo utye isonka sam undiphakamisele isithende sakhe… omnye wenu uza kundingcatsha… Nguye endiza kumnika eli qhekeza xa ndilithe nkxu. (UYohane 13:18, 21, 26)

Kuthi, iindawo ezingenanto etafileni yomsitho womtshato weNkosi… izimemo zala, ukungabi namdla kuye nokusondela kwakhe… nokuba kuyavakala okanye akunjalo, akusengomzekeliso kodwa kuyinyani, kula mazwe athe wawutyhila ukusondela kwakhe ngendlela ekhethekileyo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kwiMisa leSidlo seNkosi, nge-21 ka-Epreli 2011

UJudas wangcatsha uYesu kuba “aninako ukukhonza uThixo kwaye mammon ”: ^[6]I-Matt 6: 24

… Ukuba kukho omnye umntu entliziyweni enjalo, andinakukuthwala kwaye ndiyishiye ngokukhawuleza loo ntliziyo, ndihamba Nam zonke izipho kunye nobabalo endilungiselele umphefumlo. Kwaye umphefumlo awukuqapheli nokuhamba kwam. Emva kwexesha elithile, ukungabi nto yangaphakathi kunye nokungoneliseki kuya kuza [kumphefumlo] ingqalelo. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamKwidayari, n. 1638

Kwimeko kaJudas, wazama ukuzalisa “ubuyatha nokungoneliseki” ngamaqhosha esilivere angamashumi amathathu. Bangaphi kuthi abasukela izinto zeli hlabathi ezingasoze zanelise iintliziyo! Xa sixakekile sigcina ubuncwane apha emhlabeni, sibeka imiphefumlo yethu emngciphekweni wokuba “amasela angagqekeza ebe” ^[7]cf. Mat 6:20 Usindiso lwethu. Yiyo le nto uYesu walumkisa abaPostile eGadini ukuba linda uthandaze...

… Ukuze ungavavanywa. Umoya uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthathaka. (Mat 26: 41)

By elele kufutshane nesifuba sikaYesu, ubabalo olukhethekileyo lunikwa umphefumlo, ubabalo oluhamba ngokungathi elwandle ngokusuka entliziyweni yeNceba kaThixo:

… Elinye ijoni lafaka isijula ​​sakhe ecaleni, kwangoko kwaphuma igazi namanzi. (Yohane 19:34; NguYohane kuphela osibhalile esi siganeko kwiiVangeli)

UJohn wakwazi ukuma phantsi kweshawari yobabalo kuba ebesele ehlamba kulwandle lweNceba Phambi kokuba lifike eli tyala. Kwaye njengoko uSt. Faustina esityhilela, iNceba kaThixo kweli xesha lethu isebenza njenge umphongolo kwaye yokufihla yemiphefumlo ukusukela "ngomhla wobulungisa":

Ngumqondiso wexesha lokuphela; emva kwayo iya kufika imini yomgwebo. Ngelixa ixesha lisekhona, mabavumele ukuba basebenzise umthombo wenceba yam; mabazuze kwiGazi naManzi athe gqi kubo. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 848

Inceba yakhe iyasikhusela ekukhohlisweni:

Ndibeka ithemba lam kulwandle lwenceba yakho, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba ithemba lam aliyi kulahlekiswa. —N. 69

Uhamba nathi ngelixa lokufa:

Ntliziyo inenceba kaYesu, evulwe ngentonga, ndikhusele kumzuzu wokugqibela wobomi bam. —N. 813

Ngeyure yobuthathaka:

… Okona umphefumlo wam ulusizi, kokukhona ndisiva ulwandle lwenceba kaThixo lundigubungele kwaye lundinika amandla kunye namandla amakhulu. —Nombolo 225

… Kwaye xa ithemba libonakala lilahlekile:

Ndiyathemba ngokuchasene nalo lonke ithemba kulwandle lwenceba yakho. —N. 309

Ukholo lukaYohane lwalugcinwa kuba, ngamagama nje ambalwa Nye ne Umthendeleko, Ntliziyo kaYesu.

 

UMARIYA

Uwafumene phi uMariya amandla okulandela uYesu? Ukuphendula lo mbuzo, ungabuza omnye umbuzo: baphi abaPostile, ababebaleke eGadini, ngequbuliso bafumana amandla okuba ngabafeli-nkolo emva kokuNyuka kukaKrestu? Impendulo yile UMoya oyiNgcwele. Emva kwePentekoste, ubuphakuphaku babaPostile baphela, kwaye banikwa amandla amatsha, isibindi esitsha, kunye nombono ohlaziyiweyo. Kwaye umbono yayikukuba babeza bazikhanyele, bathabathe umnqamlezo wabo, balandele uYesu.

UMariya wakuqonda oku ukusukela oko ingelosi uGabriyeli yabonakala kuye. Ukususela kuloo mzuzu, yena waziphika, wathabatha umnqamlezo wakhe, wamlandela Unyana wakhe:

Ngamana kungenzeka kum ngokwelizwi lakho. (ULuka 1:38)

UMoya oyiNgcwele wehla ke kuye- "amandla Oyena Uphakamileyo ” wamgubungela. ^[8]cf. ULuka 1:35

UMariya ngumzekelo wethu. Usibonisa ukuba kuthetha ntoni ukuba ngumfundi kaYesu ku isiphelo. Ayisiyombambano yokuzama ukwenza ubukhalipha namandla awodwa, kodwa kukuba "sisicakakazi esithobekileyo" seNkosi; yokufuna kuqala uBukumkani bukaThixo, kunokufuna ubukumkani basemhlabeni. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, esi sisizathu ngokuyinxenye sokuba abaPostile babaleke ihlazo loMnqamlezo. Babefuna uBukumkani bukaYesu bufanele ngaphakathi kwesakhelo kunokuba kungenelele kwelinye icala. Ngezizathu ezifanayo, abaninzi bayabaleka eCaweni namhlanje.

Nathi sikufumanisa kunzima ukuyamkela into yokuba wazibophelela kwimida yeCawe yakhe kunye nabaphathiswa bayo. Nathi asifuni kuyamkela into yokuba akanamandla kweli hlabathi. Nathi sifumana izizathu zokuba ngabafundi bakhe beqala ukuba neendleko ezinkulu, nokuba yingozi. Sonke sifuna ukuguqulwa okusivumela ukuba samkele uYesu kwinyani yakhe njengoThixo nomntu. Sifuna ukuthobeka komfundi olandela intando yeNkosi yakhe. -UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, uMthendeleko weSidlo seNkosi, nge-21 ka-Epreli 2011

Ewe, “siyakufuna ukuthobeka komfundi,” njengoko wayenjalo uMariya. Endaweni yoko, ngakumbi ukusukela kwiVictoria II, siye sabona imvukelo eyoyikisayo kunye nokuzingca ngendlela eya kwi-Sacred Tradition, i-Liturgy, kunye noBawo oyiNgcwele ngokwakhe-ngokukodwa phakathi "kwabafundi bezakwalizwi." ^[9]cf. UPopu, iThemometha yoPhambuko UMariya usibonisa indlela eya eKalvari ngokunyaniseka kwakhe kuThixo njengoko waziphika, wathabatha umnqamlezo wakhe, wamlandela UYesu ngaphandle kokuzigcina. Naxa wayengayiqondi yonke into awayeyithetha, ^[10]cf. ULuka 2: 50-51 khange abuyise inyani ukuyenza ilingane nembono yakhe yehlabathi. ^[11]cf. Yintoni iNyaniso? Endaweni yoko, waya ethobela de wafikelela kwinqanaba apho ikrele lalihlaba entliziyweni yakhe. ^[12]cf. ULuka 2:35 UMariya wayengagxili apha ubukumkani, izicwangciso zakhe namaphupha, kodwa kubukumkani, iiplani, namaphupha oNyana wakhe. Okukhona eziqongqotha, kokukhona uMoya kaThixo wamzalisa. Ungatsho ukuba oku Uthando olugqibeleleyo lulugxotha lonke uloyiko.

 

FUNA KUQALA UBUKUMKANI

Yiyo loo nto, bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, ndibona ukuba iNkosi iphantse yangxola kule mihla kuthi Phuma eBablyon! kwaye siqale ukungasaziphileli kodwa siphilele yena; ukumelana nomoya weli hlabathi kwaye sivule iintliziyo zethu kuMoya kaYesu (bufutshane kangakanani ubomi bethu apha! Lude kangakanani unaphakade!). Ukuba uyanyamezela, unokuqiniseka ukuba awuyi kuhlala ngokuthembeka eKalvari, kodwa uya kunikela ngobomi bakho ngenxa kaKristu nomzalwana wakho.

Ngenxa yokuba uwugcinile umyalezo wam wonyamezelo, ndizakukukhusela ngexesha lokulingwa eliza kuza kulo lonke ihlabathi ukuvavanya abemi bomhlaba. (ISityhi. 3:10)

Sikunye, uJohn noMary basibonisa ukuba singahlala njani “phantsi koMnqamlezo” njengokuba uMdla weCawa usondela: umthandazo wentliziyo kwaye intobeko epheleleyo. Ukuthanda kukaThixo kukutya kwethu, ^[13]cf. Yohane 4:34 kwaye umthandazo yindlela esisisebenzisa ngayo esi “sonka semihla ngemihla.” Ukutya okuvela kuThixo, okunoMthendeleko, "ngumthombo kunye nengqungquthela" yamandla esiya kuwadinga kule mihla izayo xa siqala ukunyuka iKalvari yethu isiya Uvuko...

Nkosi Yesu, waxela kwangaphambili ukuba siza kuba nenxaxheba kwiintshutshiso ezikuzisele ekufeni okunogonyamelo. Icawe eyakhelwe ngexabiso legazi lakho elixabisekileyo nangoku iyangqinelana nePastor yakho; wanga ungaguqulwa, ngoku nangonaphakade, ngamandla ovuko lwakho. -Umthandazo weNdumiso, Unqulo lweyures, Vol III, iphe. 1213

Umama Wethu Wosizi, uSt. John uMvangeli… sithandazeleni.
