Ukubandezeleka kukaKristu ngu-Michael D. O'Brien
UKristu ulibamba lonke ihlabathi, kodwa iintliziyo ziye zagodola, ukholo lwasuswa, ubundlobongela buyanda. I-cosmos reels, umhlaba ubumnyama. Iindawo ezisemafama, intlango, kunye nezixeko zomntu azisahloniphi iGazi leMvana. UYesu ulilela umhlaba. Luya kuvuka njani uluntu? Kuya kuthatha ntoni ukuphazamisa ukungakhathali kwethu? -Amagqabantshintshi oGcisa
HE uthando luvutha kuwe njengomyeni ohlukanisiwe nomtshakazi, elangazelela ukumwola. Unjengebhere elikhuselayo, elikhusela ngokukrakra, libalekela kumathole alo. Ufana nokumkani, ekhwela amahashe akhe ebalekisela imikhosi yakhe emaphandleni ukukhusela nabona bantu baphantsi kubantu bakhe.
UYesu nguThixo onomona!
UTHIXO OBANOMONA
Okwangoku uvile ukuba u-Oprah Winfrey uthe isizathu sokuba aqale ukubuza ukholo lwakhe lobuKrestu kukuba weva amazwi athi “UThixo nguThixo onekhwele ” (IEksodus 34:14). Angathini uThixo ukuba abe nomona ngam, wabuza.
Othandekayo u-Oprah, awuyiqondi? UThixo uvutha uthando olukhulu ngathi! Ufuna Lonke uthando lwethu, hayi uthando olwahluliweyo. Ufuna konke ukujonga kwethu, hayi ukuphazanyiswa. Vuyisanani nala mazwi! UThixo unithanda kakhulu, ufuna nonke. Ufuna ukuba udanise njengelangatye eziko lentliziyo yakhe… umlilo uxubene noMlilo, uthando lumanyene nothando olungunaphakade.
Ewe, Oprah othandekayo! UThixo unomona kuba Wena, kwaye ngakumbi, ngoku umfunayo kwenye indawo.
Kodwa ke inxenye enkulu yeCawa. Endaweni yokuba ibalekele kuMthandi wayo, irhubuluze ebhedini nothixo wezinto eziphathekayo. Endaweni yokuba ajonge kuKristu, uye walaliswa ngumoya wehlabathi. Simtyakatya uKrestu kwakhona! Ngelixa izono zethu zizalisa indebe yobulungisa ukuphuphuma, yi uthando olunomona egqiba uThixo wethu!
Amalangatye enceba ayanditshisa — ekhwaza ukuba makasetyenziswe; Ndifuna ukuwathululela phezu kwale miphefumlo. -Idayari yaseSt. Faustina, n. I-50
UKUGUNGQA KAKHULU!
Kutyelelo lwethu lobulungiseleli apha eMelika, kwenzeka imimangaliso e Ukudibana noYesu sibonisa. Ndabhala kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo malunga nomfazi owabona uYesu ngokunjalo imitha yokukhanya evela kwi-Ekaristi. Omnye umfazi waphiliswa ngokwasemzimbeni. Omnye ongakwazanga ukuguqa iminyaka emibini, wakwazi ukuguqa ngexesha lokuNqula. Omnye umfundisi weva ubushushu obugqithisileyo obuvela kuloo monster. Uninzi lwabanye, kubandakanya uninzi oluthanda ngokuthembekileyo uKrestu kwi-Eucharist, luthi aluzange lububone ubukho bukaYesu ngamandla. Abanye abakwazi ukubeka ngamazwi oko banamava… iinyembezi zabo zibathethela endaweni yabo.
Ngokuhlwa ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, intombazana eneminyaka esibhozo ubudala yayiqubude ngobuso bayo emhlabeni kwaye yabonakala ngathi ibambekile kweso sikhundla. Xa ebuzwa emva koko ukuba wonwabile, uthe, "Kuba bekukho mawaka Amabhakethi othando athululwa phezu kwam. Andikwazi nokushukuma! ”
UThixo ukulungele ukuthulula uLwandle lweNceba kuthi! Kodwa ke, kuninzi lweecawe esakhe saya kuzo, lincinci kakhulu ipesenti yebandla eliye khona, ishiya uninzi lwezitulo zingenanto. Kwimisitho yethu yesikolo, kukho ukuba buthuntu kwentliziyo nokungakholwa phakathi kwabafundi abadala oko kuyaphula intliziyo. Kangangezihlandlo ezininzi, bendikhwaza ndisithi: “Aba ngabantu abantamo ilukhuni!”
Kwaye la mazwi afika kum:
Kuza i-Shake enkulu!
Ewe! Kuza, kwaye it uyeza ngokukhawuleza! Aba bantu bafuna ukushukunyiswa kuba abaninzi abaziqondi ukuba balele! Ukungazi kwabo ngandlela thile lubabalo olusindisayo: kunciphise ukungaziphathi kwabo. Ukanti, ikwanika nemiphefumlo ebuthathaka, ithoba isazela sabo, enokubakhokelela esonweni esikhulu ngakumbi nesizisa usizi phezu kosizi, kunye nokwahlukana ngakumbi noThixo.
Isono senkulungwane kukulahleka kwesono. -UPOPI PIUS XII, Idilesi yeRadiyo eya e-United States yeCatechetical Congress eyayibanjelwe eBoston [26 Okt. 1946: I-AAS Discorsi e Radiomessaggi, VIII (Ngowe-1946), 288]
Kukho ukuShukuma okuKhulu okuzayo ukuvusa kwakhona imeko yethu yesono, kodwa ngakumbi, ukuvusa ukuqonda ngobukho nobukho kunye uthando kaThixo! Yi eza owasithandayo kude kuse ekufeni.
Phambi kokuba ndize njengoMgwebi olilungisa, ndiza kuqala njengoKumkani weNceba. —Idayari yeSt. Faustina, n. I-83
UTHANDO LUYAVUKA
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba sisecaleni kwelinye lawona maxesha makhulu okushumayela ukusukela ngePentekoste, nokuba imfutshane. Izono zethu zifuna ubulungisa… kodwa umona kaThixo unyanzelisa iNceba.
Luya kuvuka njani uluntu? Kuya kuthatha ntoni ukuphazamisa ukungakhathali kwethu? -Ingcaciso yeArtist evela kumzobo ongentla
Ngaba ayilothando evusa intliziyo yomntu? Ngaba akunjalo uthando oko kunyibilikisa ukungakhathali kwethu? Ngaba akunjalo uthando le siyilangazelelayo? Kwaye loluphi uthando olukhulu ngakumbi kunalowo uncame ubomi bakhe ngenxa yomnye?
Ngaphambi kokuba ifike imini yomgwebo, abantu baya kunikwa umqondiso emazulwini ngolu hlobo: Konke ukukhanya emazulwini kuya kucinywa, kwaye kuya kubakho ubumnyama obukhulu phezu komhlaba uphela. Emva koko umqondiso womnqamlezo uyakubonakala esibhakabhakeni, kwaye ekuvulekeni apho izandla neenyawo zoMsindisi zabethelelwa khona kuyakuvela izibane ezikhulu ezizakukhanyisa umhlaba kangangexesha elithile. Oku kuyakwenzeka kungekudala ngaphambi komhla wokugqibela. —Idayari yeSt. Faustina, n. I-83
