Ukuqonda umnqamlezo

 

ISIKHUMBUZO SOKUHLALA KWEENTLUNGU ZETHU

 

"QAPHELA inyuse. ” Yeyona mpendulo ixhaphakileyo yamaKatolika esiyinika abanye ababandezelekileyo. Kukho inyaniso kunye nesizathu sokuba kutheni siyitsho, kodwa ngaba sitsho ngempela uyayiqonda into esiyithethayo? Ngaba siyawazi ngokwenene amandla okubandezeleka in UKristu? Ngaba ngenene "siyawufumana" uMnqamlezo?

Uninzi lwethu lukho Ukoyika umnxeba, ndoyika i Ukuya Enzulwini kuba sivakalelwa kukuba ubuKrestu buya kuba bubumoya obunomdla apho siqala khona naziphi na iziyolo zobomi, kwaye ngokulula, sive ubunzima. Kodwa inyani yile, nokuba ungumKristu okanye awunguye, uza kuva ubunzima kobu bomi. Ukugula, ilishwa, ukuphoxeka, ukufa… kuza kuye wonke umntu. Kodwa eyona nto ayenzayo uYesu, emnqamlezweni, kukujika konke oku kube luloyiso oluzukileyo. 

Emnqamlezweni kulele uloyiso loThando… Kuyo, ekugqibeleni, kulele inyaniso epheleleyo ngomntu, isiqu sokwenene somntu, usizi lwakhe kunye nobukhulu bakhe, ixabiso lakhe kunye nexabiso ahlawulelwe lona. -Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (ST. JOHN PAUL II) osuka Umqondiso wokuchasana, Ngo-1979 iphe. ?

Ndivumeleni, ke, ukuba ndisiqhawule eso sivakalisi ukuze ngethemba siqonde ixabiso kunye namandla okwenyani ekubandezelekeni kwethu. 

 

INYANISO EPHELELEYO NGOMNTU

I. “isiqu sokwenene somntu… ixabiso lakhe”

Eyona nyani yokuqala ibaluleke kakhulu emnqamlezweni yile uyathandwa. Umntu othile ufele ukuthanda wena, buqu. 

Ngokuchanekileyo ngokucamngca ngegazi elixabisekileyo likaKristu, umqondiso wothando lwakhe lokuzinikela (jn Jn 13: 1), ikholwa lifunda ukwamkela nokuxabisa phantse isidima sobuThixo somntu wonke kwaye lingadanduluka ngovuyo nangombulelo: 'Hayi indlela amele ukuba uxabiseke ngayo umntu emehlweni oMdali, ukuba uzuze uMkhululi omkhulu kangaka' kwaye ukuba uThixo 'wanikela ngoNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo' ukuze loo mntu 'angatshabalali kodwa abe nobomi obungunaphakade'! ” —ST. UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, U-Evangelium Vitae, n. I-25

Ixabiso lethu lilele kwinyaniso yokuba senziwe ngokomfanekiso kaThixo. Ngamnye wethu, umzimba, umphefumlo, nomoya, ngumbonakaliso woMdali ngokwakhe. Esi “sidima sobuthixo” asikuphelelanga nje ekuvuseleleni umona nentiyo kuluntu, kodwa okokugqibela kukhokelele uYise, uNyana noMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba benze iyelenqe kwisenzo esikhulu kangaka sothando kuluntu oluwileyo. Njengoko uYesu watshoyo kwiSt Faustina, 

Ukuba ukufa kwam akuqinisekisanga ngothando lwam, yintoni ezakwenzeka?  —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 580

 

II. “Usizi lwakhe ... nexabiso ahlawulwa ngalo”

Umnqamlezo utyhila kungekuphela ukuxabiseka komntu, kodwa nobungakanani bentlungu yakhe, oko kukuthi, i ubunzulu yesono. Isono sasineziphumo ezibini ezilindelekileyo. Eyokuqala yeyokuba itshabalalise ubunyulu bemiphefumlo yethu kangangokuba kwangoko yaphula amandla onxibelelwano lokomoya noThixo, ongcwele. Okwesibini, isono-esisiphazamiso kulungelelwaniso nemithetho elawula umphefumlo nendalo yonke-yazisa ukufa kunye nesiphithiphithi kwindalo. Ndixelele: yeyiphi indoda okanye umfazi, ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla, onokubuyisela imeko yobungcwele bomphefumlo wakhe bebodwa? Ngapha koko, ngubani onokumisa umkhwa wokufa kunye nokubola umntu azenzele kona kunye nendalo iphela? Lubabalo kuphela olunokukwenza oku, kuphela ngamandla kaThixo. 

Kuba usindiswe ngokubabalwa nangalo ukholo; nako oko kungaphumi kuwe. Sisipho sikaThixo… (Eph 2: 8)

Kungoko, xa sijonga uMnqamlezo, hayi kuphela ukubona uthando lukaThixo kuthi, kodwa indleko yemvukelo yethu. Iindleko zichanekile kuba, ukuba sidalwe "ngesidima sikaThixo", kuphela kuphela OyiNgcwele inokubuyisa eso sidima siwile. 

Kuba, xa abaninzi aba bafa sisikreqo salo, lungakanani na uthando lobabalo lukaThixo, nesipho esingobabalo olu lwalo mntu mnye, uYesu Kristu, saphuphumela kubo abaninzi aba? (Roma 5:15)

 

III. “Ubukhulu”

Kwaye ngoku sifika kwelona candelo limangalisayo ledini likaKrestu emnqamlezweni: yayingelilo isipho sokusisindisa kuphela, kodwa isimemo sokuthatha inxaxheba ekusindisweni kwabanye. Bunjalo ke ubungangamsha boonyana neentombi zikaThixo. 

Inyani yile yokuba kuphela kwimfihlakalo yeLizwi elingumntu apho imfihlelo yomntu ithathela ukukhanya… UKristu… utyhila ngokupheleleyo umntu emntwini kwaye enze ubizo lwakhe oluphezulu lucace. -Gaudium et Spes, IVictoria II, n. 22

Apha kulapho kukho ukuqonda "kobuKatolika" ngokubandezeleka: UYesu akazange akuphelise ngoMnqamlezo, kodwa wabonisa indlela umntu Ukubandezeleka kuba yindlela esa ebomini obungunaphakade kunye nokubonakaliswa kothando. Nangona kunjalo, 

U-Kristu walufezekisa uhlengo ngokupheleleyo, kodwa kwangaxeshanye akazange alufikise esiphelweni…. Kubonakala ngathi yinxalenye yesona sifo sikaYesu sokuhlangula ngentlawulelo ukuba le ntlungu ifuna ukuba igqitywe ngokungapheliyo. —ST. UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros, n. 3, IVatican.va

Kodwa ingagqitywa njani ukuba sele enyukele ezulwini? UPawulos uyaphendula:

Ndiyavuya ekubandezelekeni kwam ngenxa yakho, kwaye enyameni yam ndizalisa into ebisilela kwiintlungu zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, oyinkonzo… (Col 1:24)

Kuba iimfihlakalo zikaYesu azikagqitywa ngokupheleleyo kwaye azalisekiswa. Aphelele, eneneni, ayibubuntu bukaYesu, kodwa hayi kuthi, abangamalungu akhe, okanye eCaweni, umzimba wakhe ongaqondakaliyo. —St. U-John Elies, phatha "kubukumkani bukaYesu", Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, VV IV, iphe. 559

Yintoni uYesu kuphela onokuyenza ukubaluleka kuluntu lonke ubabalo kunye noxolelo oluya kusenza sikwazi ukubanobomi obungunaphakade. Kodwa inikwe abaKhe umzimba oyimfihlakalo ukuya, kuqala, zamkela ezi zinto zilungileyo ngokholo, emva koko, sasaza olu lubabalo kwi Umhlaba, ke ngoko waba "ngumthendeleko" ngokwawo. Oku kufuneka kutshintshe kuthi intsingiselo "yeCawa".

Umzimba kaKristu ayisiyongqokelela nje yamaKristu. Isixhobo esiphilayo sentlawulelo-ulwandiso lukaYesu Krestu ixesha kunye nendawo. Uyaqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe osisindisayo kwilungu ngalinye lomzimba wakhe. Xa umntu eyiqonda le nto, uyabona ukuba uluvo lokuba "ulunikele" ayisiyiyo impendulo yezakwalizwi kumcimbi wokubandezeleka kwabantu, koko lubizo lokuthabatha inxaxheba kusindiso lwehlabathi. -UJason Evert, umbhali, INgcwele uJohn Paul Omkhulu, aBathandwa baKhe abahlanu; p. 177

Njengesakramente, iBandla sisixhobo sikaKristu. “Usiwa kuye esixhobo sokusindisa bonke,” “umthendeleko wendalo iphela wosindiso,” athe ngawo uKristu “kwangoko wabonakalisa kwaye waqinisekisa imfihlelo yothando lukaThixo ngabantu.” -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-776

Uyabona ke, yiyo loo nto uSathana esoyikisa ukuba sibaleke iGadi yaseGetsemane kunye nesithunzi nje soMnqamlezo… ekubandezelekeni. Kungenxa yokuba eyazi "inyaniso epheleleyo ngomntu": ukuba (asinakuba nje) singababukeli nje benkanuko, kodwa bangabathathi-nxaxheba, kanye njengokuba sisamkela kwaye simanya iintlungu zethu kuYesu Krestu njengo amalungu omzimba waKhe oyimfihlakalo. Ke, uSathana woyika indoda okanye umfazi oqondayo, aphile le nyaniso! Ye…

… Ubuthathaka bazo zonke iintlungu zomntu ziyakwazi ukumiliselwa ngawo amandla afanayo kaThixo abonakaliswe emnqamlezweni kaKrestu… ukuze zonke iintlobo zokubandezeleka, zinikwe ubomi obutsha ngamandla alo Mnqamlezo, zingabi saba bubuthathaka bomntu kodwa Amandla kaThixo. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros, n. I-23, 26

Siyabandezelwa ngandlela zonke… sithwele ukufa kukaYesu emzimbeni wethu, ukuze nobomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe emzimbeni wethu. (2 Kor. 4: 8, 10)

 

IKRELE ELINAMAPHALA MABINI

Ukubandezeleka, ke, kunemicimbi emibini. Omnye kukuzoba ukulunga kukaKrestu, ukuFa, kunye noVuko ebomini bethu ngokushiya ukuthanda kukaThixo, kwaye okwesibini kukuzoba oku kulungileyo kwabanye. Kwelinye icala, ukungcwalisa imiphefumlo yethu, kwaye okwesibini, sizobe ubabalo lokusindisa abanye. 

Kukubandezeleka, ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye into, ecacisa indlela yobabalo oluguqula imiphefumlo yabantu. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros, n. I-27

If “Nisindiswe ngokubabalwa nangalo ukholo” ^[1]I-Eph 2: 8 ukholo ke lusebenza ukwamkela iminqamlezo yakho yemihla ngemihla (ebizwa “luthando ngoThixo nangommelwane”). Ezi mihla le Iminqamlezo iyindlela yokubulala "umntu omdala" ngekrele lokulahla ukuze "umntu omtsha", loo mfanekiso uyinyani kaThixo esidalwe kuye, ubuyiselwe. Njengoko watshoyo uPetros, “Wabulawa esenyameni, wavuswa esemoyeni.” (1 Pet. 3:18) Lowo ngumzekelo kuthi, ke nakuthi. 

Bulala ngoko amalungu enu asemhlabeni: ukurheletya, ukungcola, inkanuko, ukunyoluka okukrakra, nokubawa okunqula izithixo ... Musani ukuxokisana, nizihlubile nje umntu omdala, kunye nezenzo zakhe, nambatha; kwisimo esitsha, esihlaziywayo, sokwazi, ngokomfanekiselo womdali waso. (Kwikol 3: 5-10)

Ekubeni ke uKristu weva ubunzima esenyameni, xhobani nani kwaloo moya mnye (1 Pet. 3: 1)

Olunye uhlangothi lwekrele kukuba, xa sikhetha indlela yothando kunokuba silwe nabanye, indlela yesidima endaweni yobubi, ukuvuma ukugula namashwa endaweni yokuphikisana nentando kaThixo evumayo… sinako “ukunikela” okanye wamkele abanye ngelelo kunye neentlungu eziziswa zezi ntlungu. Yiyo loo nto ukwamkela ukugula, ukunyamezela, ukungavumi ukuzifica, ukwala isilingo, ukunyamezela ukoma, ukubamba ulwimi, ukwamkela ubuthathaka, ukucela uxolelo, ukwamkela ukuthotywa, kwaye ngaphezu kwako konke, ukukhonza abanye phambi kwakho ... “Zalisa iintsilelo zikaKristu.” Ngale ndlela, ayisiyiyo kuphela ingqolowa yengqolowa- u "I" -ukufa, ukuze uthwale isiqhamo sobungcwele, kodwa “ungafumana okuninzi kuYesu Krestu kwabo bangaludingiyo uncedo lomzimba, kodwa abahlala silufuna ngamandla uncedo lokomoya. ” ^[2]UKhadinali Karol Wojtyla, njengoko kuchaziwe kwi U-Saint John Paul Omkhulu, abaThandwayo baKhe abahlanu nguJason Evert; p. 177

Ukubandezeleka "okunikelweyo" kunceda nabo kungenjalo bangafumani lubabalo. 

 

Uvuyo lomnqamlezo

Okokugqibela, ingxoxo yoMnqamlezo iya kusilela ngokupheleleyo ukuba ibingabandakanyi inyani ehlala ikhokelela kuyo Uvuko, Oko kukuthi, uvuyo. Nantso ke indida yomnqamlezo. 

Ngenxa yovuyo olwalubekwe phambi kwakhe, wawunyamezela umnqamlezo, elidelile ihlazo lawo, wahlala esihlalweni ngasekunene kwetrone kaThixo… Ngelo xesha, lonke uqeqesho lubonakala lungunobangela wovuyo kodwa weentlungu, kanti kamva izisa isiqhamo soxolo sobulungisa kwabo baqeqeshiweyo yiyo. (Heb 12: 2, 11)

Le "yimfihlo" yobomi bobuKrestu uSathana afuna ukuyifihla okanye ayifihle kubalandeli bakaKristu. Bubuxoki bokuba ukubandezeleka kukungabikho kokusesikweni okukhokelela kuphela ekuphulukaneni novuyo. Endaweni yoko, ukubandezeleka kunokwenzelwa ukuhlanjululwa intliziyo kunye nokwenza esikwaziyo lokufumana uvuyo. Ke, xa uYesu esithi "Ndilandele", Ekugqibeleni uthetha ukuthobela imiyalelo yaKhe, ebandakanya ukufa kokwenyani ukuze umlandele uye ngeKalvari, ukuze “Uvuyo lungapheleliswa.” ^[3]cf. Yohane 15:11

Ukugcinwa kwemithetho…. kuthetha ukoyisa isono, nokuziphatha okubi ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo. Kwaye oku kukhokelela kukuhlanjululwa ngaphakathi… Ngokuhamba kwexesha, ukuba siyanyamezela ekulandeleni uKrestu uTitshala wethu, siziva sincinci kwaye sinyanzelwa ngumlo nxamnye nesono, kwaye sonwabela ngakumbi nangakumbi ukukhanya okuvela kuyo yonke indalo. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, Imemori kunye noLwazi, I-28-29

“Indlela” eya kuvuyo lobomi obungunaphakade, eqala kwalapha emhlabeni, yile indlela yoMnqamlezo. 

Uya kundibonisa umendo wobomi, uphuphume uvuyo ebusweni bakho… (Ndumiso 16:11)

Kwesi Sikhumbuzo seNenekazi leNtsizi, masikhe siye kuye "ongumfanekiso weCawa ezayo." ^[4]UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Thetha uSalvi,n.50 Kulapho, kwisithunzi soMnqamlezo, apho ikrele lahlaba entliziyweni yakhe. Kwaye isuka kuloo ntliziyo “izele lubabalo ”olwamanyanisa ngokuzithandela iintlungu zalo nakuNyana wakhe, waba ngumlamli kuye wobabalo. ^[5]cf. “Ubumama bukaMariya ngokomyalelo wobabalo buqhubeka ngokungaphazanyiswanga kwimvume athe wayinika ngokunyaniseka kwi-Annunciation kwaye wayigcina ngaphandle kokuxengaxenga phantsi komnqamlezo, kude kube yinzaliseko yanaphakade yabo bonke abanyuliweyo. Ukunyuselwa ezulwini akazange ayibeke bucala le ofisi isindisayo kodwa ngokuthandazela kwakhe okuninzi kuqhubekeka kusizisela izipho zosindiso lwanaphakade. . . . Ngenxa yoko iNtombi Enyulu iyabizwa eCaweni phantsi kwesihloko esithi uMthetheleli, uMncedisi, uMncedisi, noMlamli. ” (I-CCC, n. 969 n)   Waba, ngokomyalelo kaKristu, uMama wabo bonke abantu. Ngoku thina ngobhaptizo lwethu, esinikiweyo “Zonke iintsikelelo zokomoya emazulwini,” ^[6]I-Eph 1: 3 Sibizelwe ukuvumela ikrele lokubandezeleka ukuba lingene ezintliziyweni zethu ukuze, njengoMama uMariya, nathi sibe ngabathathi-nxaxheba ekuhlanguleni ubuntu noKristu iNkosi yethu. Ye…

Yiyo le ntlungu etshisa kwaye igqibe ububi kunye no ilangatye lothando kwaye utsale nasesonweni intyatyambo enkulu yokulunga. Konke ukubandezeleka kwabantu, zonke iintlungu, konke ukugula kuqulethe isithembiso sosindiso kubo, isithembiso sovuyo: “Ngoku ndiyavuya ekubandezelekeni kwam ngenxa yakho,” Ubhala uSt Paul (Kol 1: 24).—ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, Imemori kunye noLwazi, I-167-168
