THE Umphefumlo kaThixo usembindini wendalo. Ngumphefumlo lo ongahlaziyi kuphela indalo kodwa osinika wena nam ithuba lokuqala kwakhona xa siwile…
UMPHEFUMLO WOBOMI
Ekuqalekeni kwendalo, emva kokwenza zonke ezinye izinto, uThixo wamdala umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe. Wabakho xa uThixo waphefumla kuye.
UYehova uThixo wambumba umntu ngothuli lwasemhlabeni, waphefumlela emathatheni akhe impefumlo yobomi; umntu ke waba ngumphefumlo ophilileyo. (IGenesis 2: 7)
Kodwa kwafika ukuwa xa uAdam noEva bonayo, ngokungathi kunjalo bafa. Olu qhekeko kunxibelelwano noMdali wabo lwalunokuphinda lubuyiselwe ngendlela enye: uThixo ngokwaKhe, kuBuntu bukaYesu Krestu, kwafuneka "asifunxe" isono sehlabathi kuba nguye kuphela owayenokususa.
Wamenza isono ngenxa yethu, ngenxa yakhe; ukuze thina sibe bubulungisa bukaThixo kuye. (2 kwabaseKorinte 5:21)
Xa lo msebenzi weNtlawulelo ekugqibeleni "wagqitywayo,"[1]John 19: 30 UYesu ukhuphe umoya, ngaloo ndlela koyisa ukufa ngokufa:
Wadanduluka ke uYesu, waphuma umphefumlo. (UMarko 15:37)
Ngentsasa yovuko, uBawo waphefumla uBomi kwakhona emzimbeni kaYesu, ngaloo ndlela simenza “uAdam omtsha” kunye nesiqalo “sendalo entsha.” Inye kuphela into esele isele: kukuba uYesu aphefumlele obu Bomi butsha kwindalo yonke-ukukhupha umoya Uxolo phezu kwayo, esebenza umva, eqala ngomntu ngokwakhe.
Uxolo malube nani. Njengokuba uBawo endithumile mna, nam ndiyanithuma nina. Akutsho wabaphefumlela, wathi kubo, Yamkelani uMoya oyiNgcwele; Ukuba niyazixolela izono zabani, zixolelwe; Ukuba nigcina izono zayo nayiphi na, iya kugcinwa. ” (Yohane 2o: 21-23)
Nantsi ke, ngoku indlela esenza mna nawe sibe yinxalenye yesi sidalwa sitsha kuKristu: ngokuxolelwa kwezono zethu. Yiloo ndlela ke uBomi obutsha obungena ngayo kuthi, indlela umoya kaThixo osibuyisela ngayo: xa sixolelwe kwaye ke sikwazi ukuba nobudlelane. Uxolelwaniso yintsingiselo yePasika. Kwaye oku kuqala ngamanzi oBhaptizo, ahlamba "isono santlandlolo."
UBHAPTIZO: UMPEFUMLO WETHU WOKUQALA
KwiGenesis, emva kokuba uThixo ephefumlele ubomi emathatheni ka-Adam, itsho njalo “Kwaphuma umlambo e-Eden wokunyakamisa umyezo.” [2]I-X 2: 10 Ke, kwindalo entsha, umlambo ubuyiselwe kuthi:
Lesuka elinye isoldati lamhlaba ngomkhonto ecaleni; kwaoko kwaphuma igazi namanzi. (UYohane 19:34)
“Amanzi” luphawu lobhaptizo lwethu. Kukule fonti yokubhaptiza apho amaKristu amatsha ukuphefumla okokuqala njengesidalwa esitsha. Njani? Ngamandla negunya uYesu awalinika abaPostile “Zixoleleni izono 
nayiphi na. ” KumaKristu amadala (catechumens), ukwaziswa kobu bomi butsha kuhlala kungumzuzu weemvakalelo:
Kuba iMvana esesazulwini setrone iya kubalusa, ibakhokelele emithonjeni yamanzi aphilileyo; azisule uThixo zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo. (ISityhilelo 7:17)
UYesu uthi ngalo mlambo ukuba “Iya kuba ngumthombo kuye wamanzi, ayimpompoza, ibubomi obungunaphakade.” [3]UYohane 4:14; cf. 7:38 Ubomi obutsha. Umoya omtsha.
Kwenzeka ntoni xa siphinda sone kwakhona?
ISIQINISEKISO: INDLELA YOKUPhefumla KWAKHONA
Ayingamanzi kuphela, kodwa liGazi elaphalazelwa ecaleni likaKristu. Yile Gazi liXabisekileyo lihlamba umoni, kwi-Eucharist nakwinto ebizwa ngokuba "ngumthendeleko wokuguqula" (okanye "ukuzisola", "ukuvuma izono", "uxolelwaniso" okanye "uxolelo"). Ukuvuma izono ngaxa lithile kwakuyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yohambo lobuKristu. Kodwa ukusukela iVictoria II, ayikhange iwele nje "ngaphandle kokuthandwa," kodwa izivumo zabo ngokwabo zihlala ziguqulwa zangamagumbi omtshayelo. Oku kufana namaKristu alibale ukuphefumla!
Ukuba uphefumle umsi oyityhefu wesono ebomini bakho, akukho ngqiqweni ukuhlala kwimeko yokufuthaniseleka, ethetha ngokwasemoyeni, sisono esenzayo emphefumlweni. UKristu unenzele indlela yokuphuma engcwabeni. Ukuze uphinde uphefumle ubomi obutsha, into efunekayo kukuba "uzikhuphele" ezi zono phambi koThixo. Kwaye u-Yesu, ekuphelisweni lixesha elinaphakade apho iDini lakhe lihlala lingena kumzuzu wangoku, uphefumla izono zakho ukuze babethelelwe emnqamlezweni kuye.
Ukuba siyazivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulilungisa; uya kusixolela izono zethu, asihlambulule kuko konke ukungalungisi. (1 Yohane 1: 9)
… Kukho amanzi neenyembezi: amanzi obhaptizo kunye neinyembezi zenguquko. —ISt. Ambrose, Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1429
Andazi ukuba amaKristu angaphila njani ngaphandle kwale Sacramente yokuvuma. Mhlawumbi abayi. Mhlawumbi ichaza ngokuyinxenye ukuba kutheni uninzi lwabantu lwanamhlanje luye lwaphendukela kwiimeds, ukutya, utywala, ukuzonwabisa kunye noogqirha bengqondo ukuze babancede bakwazi "ukumelana." Ngaba kungenxa yokuba kungekho mntu ubaxeleleyo ukuba uGqirha oMkhulu ubalindele "kwinkundla yeNceba" yokubaxolela, ukubacoca nokubaphilisa? Ngapha koko, umntu owakhupha iidemon wathi kum, "Esinye isivumo sokuvuma izono sinamandla ngaphezu kwekhulu lokukhutshwa kwabantu." Ewe, amaKristu amaninzi ahambahamba ecinezelwe ngokoqobo yimimoya emibi etyumza imiphunga yabo. Ngaba ufuna ukuphefumla kwakhona? Yiya kuVuma.
Kodwa kuphela ngePasika okanye ngeKrisimesi? AmaKatolika amaninzi acinga ngolu hlobo kuba akukho mntu uwaxelele ngokwahlukileyo. Kodwa oku kukwayindlela yokuphefumla ngokomoya. UPio Pio wakhe wathi,
Ukuvuma isono, okukuko ukuhlanjululwa komphefumlo, akufuneki kwenziwe kungadlulanga iintsuku ezisibhozo; Andikwazi ukunyamezela ukugcina imiphefumlo kude nokuvuma izono ngaphezu kweentsuku ezisibhozo. —St. IPio yePietrelcina
INgcwele uJohn Paul II wayibeka kakuhle le nto:
“… Abo baya kuVuma rhoqo, kwaye besenza njalo benomnqweno wokwenza inkqubela phambili” bayakuqaphela amanyathelo abawenzayo kubomi babo basemoyeni. "Ingayinto engekhoyo ukufuna ubungcwele, ngokobizo umntu alufumene kuThixo, ngaphandle kokutya rhoqo lo mthendeleko wenguquko noxolelwaniso." —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, kwinkomfa yabapostile ejele, ngoMatshi 27, 2004; mkhusini.org
Emva kokushumayela lo myalezo kwinkomfa, umfundisi owayeva ukuvuma izono apho wabelana nam ngeli bali:
Enye indoda yandixelela ngaphambi kwalo mhla ukuba ayikholelwa ukuya kwi-Confession kwaye ayikaze izimisele ukwenza njalo kwakhona. Ndicinga ukuba xa wayengena ekuzivumeni, wayemangalisiwe njengokujonga endandinako ebusweni bam. Sajongana sobabini salila.
Yayiyindoda eyafumanisa ukuba iyakudinga ngokwenene ukuphefumla.
INKULULEKO YOKUPHEFUMLA
Ukuvuma izono akugcinelwanga izono ezikhulu "ezinkulu" kuphela.
Ngaphandle kokufuneka ngokungqongqo, ukuvuma iziphoso zemihla ngemihla (izono zaselwandle) kuyacetyiswa ngamandla yiCawa. Ngokwenene ukuvuma izono zethu zaselwandle kusinceda ukuba sakhe izazela zethu, silwe notyekelo olubi, masiphiliswe nguKristu kwaye siqhubeke ebomini bukaMoya. Ngokufumana rhoqo ngalo mthendeleko isipho senceba kaBawo, sikhuthazekile ukuba sibe nenceba njengokuba yena enenceba…
Umntu ngamnye, ukuvuma izono kunye nokuxolelwa kuhlala kuphela kwendlela yesiqhelo yokuba abathembekileyo bazixolelanise noThixo kunye neCawa, ngaphandle kokuba ngokwasemzimbeni nangokokuziphatha akunakwenzeka ukuba kuthethelelwe kolu hlobo lokuvuma izono. ” Kukho izizathu ezinzulu zoku. UKristu uyasebenza kwiisakramente nganye. Uthetha buqu kuye wonke umoni: "Nyana wam, izono zakho zixolelwe." Ungugqirha onakekela ngamnye wabagulayo abadinga ukubaphilisa. Uyabaphakamisa kwaye ubabuyisele kubudlelane bobuzalwana. Ukuvuma isono ngokobuqu yeyona ndlela ichazayo yoxolelaniso noThixo kunye neBandla. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. 1458, 1484
Xa usiya kuVuma, ukhululwe ngokwenene kwisono sakho. USathana, esazi ukuba uxolelwe, inye kuphela into eseleyo kwibhokisi yezixhobo zakhe malunga nexesha lakho elidlulileyo- "uhambo lokuziva ulinetyala" -inethemba lokuba usazokurhoxa umphunga wokuthandabuza ukulunga kukaThixo:
Kuyamangalisa ukuba umKristu kufuneka aqhubeke nokuziva enetyala emva komthendeleko wesono. Hlalani ninoxolo, nina nililayo ebusuku, nilile emini; Nokuba likhona ityala elingakanani, uKrestu uvukile kwaye negazi lakhe lalihlambile. Ungaya kuye wenze ikomityi yezandla zakho, kwaye ithontsi legazi lakhe liyakukucoca ukuba unokholo kwinceba yakhe uthi, "Nkosi, ndiyaxolisa." -UMkhonzi kaThixo Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Ukuzanga kukaKristu
My mntwana, zonke izono zakho zingayenzakalisanga Intliziyo yam kabuhlungu njengokungazithembi okwenzileyo emva kokuba kwenziwe iinzame ezininzi zothando nenceba yam, kusafuneka ukuthandabuze ukulunga kwam. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1486
Xa ndiqukumbela, ndiyathandaza ukuba ucinge ngale nto uyiyo Indalo eNtsha kuKristu. Le yinyaniso xa ubhaptizwa. Kuyinyaniso xa uvela kwakhona kwisivumo:
Nabani na okuKristu uyindalo entsha: izinto ezindala zidlule; Yabonani, kuza izinto ezintsha. (2 Kor. 5: 16-17)
Ukuba uziva unetyala namhlanje, ayisiyiyo ngoba kufuneka. Ukuba awukwazi ukuphefumla, ayibangelwa kukuba akukho moya. UYesu uphefumla uBomi obutsha ngalo mzuzu kwicala lakho. Kuxhomekeke kuwe ukusezela umoya ngaphakathi ...
Masingahlali sivalelwe ngaphakathi kwethu, kodwa masivule amangcwaba ethu atywiniweyo eNkosini-elowo kuthi uyazazi ukuba ziyintoni-ukuze angene kwaye asinike ubomi. Masimnike amatye e-rancor yethu kunye namatye exesha lethu elidlulileyo, loo mithwalo inzima yobuthathaka bethu kunye nokuwa. U-Kristu ufuna ukuza azokusibamba ngesandla asikhuphe kule ntlungu yethu… Yanga iNkosi ingasikhulula kulo mgibe, ekubeni ngamaKristu angenathemba, aphila ngokungathi iNkosi ayivukanga, ngokungathi iingxaki zethu zezona zisembindini. yobomi bethu. -UPOPA UFRANCIS, Homily, Easter Vigil, Matshi 26th, 2016; IVatican.va
