Ukufa kukaSt. Thomas BecketNguMichael D. O'Brien
PHA yinto elungileyo engaqhelekanga ethe yavela kwinkcubeko yethu. Iye yangena ngokufihlakeleyo kangangokuba bambalwa abayiqondayo indlela eye yaqheliselwa ngayo, kwanaphakathi kwabefundisi abakwizikhundla eziphezulu. Oko kukuthi, ukwenza Uxolo ngazo zonke iindleko. Iza neseti yayo yezithintelo kunye neqhalo:
"Yithi tu. Musa ukuyivuthulula imbiza."
"Jonga ishishini lakho."
"Ungayihoyi kwaye iya kuhamba."
"Sukuyenza ingxaki…"
Ke kukho amazwi aphuhliswe ngokukodwa kumKristu:
"Musa ukugweba."
"Musa ukugxeka umfundisi wakho / ubishophu (bathandazele nje.)"
"Yiba ngumenzi woxolo."
"Sukungabi njalo ..."
Kwaye okuthandwa kakhulu, kuyilelwe iklasi nganye kunye nomntu:
"Nyamezelani. "
UXOLO — NGAZO ZONKE IINDLELA?
Kanjalo, Banoyolo abaxolisi. Kodwa alunakubakho uxolo apho kungekho bulungisa. Kwaye akunakubakho bulungisa apho iqiniso ayihlali. Kungoko, xa uYesu wayehlala phakathi kwethu, wathetha into ekhwankqisayo:
Musani ukucinga ukuba ndize kungenisa uxolo emhlabeni. Ndize kungenisa, ndingazisi luxolo kodwa; Kuba ndize kubambanisa umntu noyise, intombi nonina, umolokazana noninazala; Zaye iintshaba zakhe ziya kuba ngabendlu yakhe. (Mat. 10: 34-36)
Sikuqonda njani oku kuvela emlonyeni waLowo simbiza ngokuba yiNkosana yoXolo? Kungenxa yokuba wathi, "Ndiyinyaniso."Ngamazwi amaninzi, u Yesu wabhengeza kwihlabathi ukuba umlo omkhulu uzakulandela ekhondweni laKhe. Lidabi lemiphefumlo, kwaye ibala lemfazwe" liyinyaniso esikhululayo. "Ikrele uYesu athetha ngalo" ligama kaThixo "…
… Engena nditsho phakathi komphefumlo nomoya, amalungu nomongo, nokukwazi ukubona imbonakalo neengcinga zentliziyo. (Heb 4:12)
Amandla elizwi lakhe, ayinyani, angena nzulu emphefumlweni kwaye athethe nakwisazela apho sahlula phakathi kokulungileyo nokungalunganga. Kwaye apho, idabi liqala okanye liphela. Apho, umphefumlo uyayamkela inyaniso, okanye uyayala; ubonakalisa ukuthobeka, okanye ikratshi.
Kodwa namhlanje, bambalwa abesilisa nabasetyhini abaya kukhupha ikrele elinje kuba besoyikwa ukuba bangaqondwa kakuhle, banqatshwe, bangathandwa, okanye babe ngabaphangi "boxolo." Kwaye indleko zokuthula zingabalwa emiphefumlweni.
YINTONI IINJONGO ZETHU KWAKHONA?
IKhomishini eNkulu yeCawa (Mat 28: 18-20) ayizisi uxolo emhlabeni, koko izisa iNyaniso ezizweni.
Ukho ukuze ashumayele… —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandi, n. I-24
Yima, usenokuthi, iingelosi azange zivakalise ekuzalweni kukaKristu: "Uzuko kuThixo enyangweni, Uxolo kwabanentando elungileyo? (Lt 2:14). Ewe kunjalo. Kodwa luxolo olunjani?
Ndishiya uxolo kuni; uxolo lwam ndikunika. Hayi njengoko ndikunika lona umhlaba ndikunika lona. (UYohane 14:27)
Ayilulo uxolo lweli hlabathi, elenziwa ngokunyamezelana. Ayilulo uxolo oluveliswe apho inyani nobulungisa benziwa idini ukuze zonke izinto zilingane. Ayiloxolo apho izidalwa, kwimizamo yokuba "nobuntu," zinikwe amalungelo ngaphezulu komntu, igosa lazo. Olu luxolo lobuxoki. Ukungabikho kongquzulwano akuthethi ukuba luxolo. Inokuba sisiqhamo solawulo kunye nokusetyenziswa gwenxa, kokugqwetha ubulungisa. Onke amabhaso oxolo anqabileyo emhlabeni awanako ukuvelisa uxolo ngaphandle kwamandla nenyaniso yeNkosana yoXolo.
