UYESU wazalwa ebusuku. Wazalwa ngexesha apho uxinezeleko luzalise umoya. Wazalwa ngexesha elifana nelethu. Ngaba oku akunakusenza sibe nethemba?
Kwakubizwe ubalo lwabantu. Ngequbuliso, ubomi bomntu wonke baphazamiseka, kwafuneka ukuba baye kwidolophana enjengeBhetelehem, eyayiza kubalwa. Ayesenza ntoni amaRoma? Kutheni bebala kwaye belandelela abantu babo? Yayisenzelwa "ukulunga okuqhelekileyo", akunjalo? Nangona kunjalo, sifunda kwiTestamente eNdala ukuba uThixo akakholiswa lubalo-kodwa uyakuvumela oku isohlwayo Abantu baKhe.[1]cf. Hayi indlela kaHerode
Waza uSathana wema nxamnye noSirayeli waza waxhokonxa uDavide ukuba abale amaSirayeli. (1 Kronike 21:1)
Kwaye kwabakho uKumkani uHerode, othuswe ziingxelo zokuzalwa komnye ukumkani, owayenokumsusa esikhundleni sakhe. NjengamaJiphutha, ephazanyiswe kukukhula kobukho kunye nokukhula kwamaSirayeli, isisombululo sikaHerode asizange sihluke:
UFaro wakudala, owathandayo ubukho kunye nokwanda koonyana bakaSirayeli, wabangenisa kulo lonke uhlobo lwengcinezelo kwaye wayalela ukuba bonke abantwana abangamadoda abazalwa ngabafazi bamaHebhere mababulawe. (umz. 1: 7-22). Namhlanje baninzi abanamandla emhlabeni abenza ngendlela efanayo. Nabo bakhathazwa kukwanda kwamanani abemi abakhoyo… Ngenxa yoko, endaweni yokuba banqwenele ukujongana nokusombulula ezi ngxaki zinzima ngokuhlonipha isidima sabantu kunye neentsapho kunye nelungelo lomntu ngamnye elingenakuphikiswa, bakhetha ukukhuthaza nokunyanzelisa nangayiphi na indlela Inkqubo enkulu yolawulo lokuzalwa. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, U-Evangelium Vitae, "IVangeli yoBomi", n. 16
Inkqubo enkulu ye ulawulo lwabantu. (Bukela: Ukukhusela Abamsulwa Bakho Abangcwele).
Ebudeni bokungaqiniseki nengozi enjalo, uYesu wazalwa nguMariya noYosefu, abazalwa sithi sonke. Phakathi kobu busuku, izithunywa zezulu zadanduluka ngelizwi lethemba kwabo babezama ukuthembeka, bezama ukuphila ngokuthanda kukaThixo nababelangazelela ukubona ubuso bukaMesiya:
Uzuko kuThixo enyangweni, Uxolo emhlabeni, ebantwini akholiswayo ngabo! ( Luka 2:14 )
Ezinye iinguqulelo zithi “lowo ukholiswa nguye” or "Uxolo kubantu abalungileyo." UYesu weza kuzisa wonke umntu uxolo… kodwa luwela kuphela kwabo “bathanda ukulunga,” abo bafuna uxolo lokwenyaniso—kungekhona “uxolo nonqabiseko” lobuxoki olunikelwa buBukhosi baseRoma (okanye obu bukhosi bangoku) (ngendlela ethi “ iipaspoti eziluhlaza”).[2]Eyoku-1 kwabaseTesalonika 5: 3 ithi: “Xa abantu besithi, Luxolo nokunqaba, 'ibafikela ngequbuliso inimba, njengozalayo xa athe wazala, abayi kusinda. Endaweni yoko, kumaxesha ethu, siva iNkosi yethu kunye neNenekazi libhengeza emhlabeni wonke ukuba iXesha loXolo liyeza emva kobu busuku - "ukusa okutsha," oopopu bayibiza njalo.[3]cf. Iipopu kunye neXesha lokuKhangela Yeyona inzaliseko yokugqibela yamazwi athethwa nguYohane umBhaptizi owayeza kuvakalisa oku “nkwenkwezi yasekuseni” eza kuphuma ehlabathini:
… Ngenceba yenceba yoThixo wethu… imini iya kuthi qheke kuthi qatha phezulu ukunika ukukhanya kwabo bahleli ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, nokuzikhokelela iinyawo zethu endleleni yoxolo. (ULuka 1: 78-79)
Le "ndlela yoxolo" "sisipho sokuphila kwintando kaThixo",[4]Uxolo lwenyaniso “kukuphumla” eNkosini; cf. Ukuphumla kweSabatha okuzayo njengoko kutyhilwe kuMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta.
Ixesha ekuzakwaziswa ngalo le mibhalo lihambelana kwaye lixhomekeke kubume bemiphefumlo enqwenela ukufumana into entle kangaka, kunye nomzamo wabo kufuneka bazinikele ekubeni ngabathwali bamaxilongo ngokunikela umbingelelo wokubhengeza kwixesha elitsha loxolo… —UYesu waya eLuisa, Isipho sokuphila kwiNtando yoKupapashwa kukubhalwa kukaLuisa Piccarreta, n. 1.11.6, uMfu Joseph Iannuzzi
Phulaphula! Bayamemelela ababoniseli bakho, bamemelele kunye, ngokuba baya kukubona ukubuya kukaYehova eZiyon. ( Isaya 52:8 )
… Abalindi ababhengeza kwihlabathi liphela elitsha ithemba, ubuzalwana noxolo. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, kwidilesi yeGuellielli Youth Movement, nge-20 kaMatshi ngo-2002, www.v Vatican.va
...abalindi kwangesasa ndibhengeza ngokuza kwelanga ngubani uKrestu ovusiweyo! —PVULA UYOHANE UPAWULOS II, Umyalezo kaBawo Oyingcwele kuLutsha lweHlabathiI-XVII yoSuku loLutsha lweHlabathi, n. 3; (cf. ngaba 21: 11-12)
Ubusuku, ke, asiloxesha lokuphelelwa lithemba kodwa lindele. Liyure yomlindo, yokubukela nokulinda ukufika kweLanga, onguKrestu oVukileyo. “Imiqondiso yamaxesha” isijikelezile ukuze abo banamehlo babone, kwabo baneendlebe ezikulungeleyo ukuphulaphula. “Umfazi owayambethe ilanga [eliphumayo] usebenzela ukuzala kwakhona (ISityhi. 12:1-2) lonke Umzimba kaKristu[5]cf. Roma 11: 25-26 ukuze oko uYesu akufezileyo kuYe kube, ekugqibeleni, kufezeke kuthi, uMtshakazi wakhe.[6]“Kuba iimfihlelo zikaYesu azikafezeki ngokupheleleyo. Baphelele, eneneni, kuYesu, kodwa kungekhona kuthi, singamalungu akhe, okanye kwiCawa, engumzimba wakhe ofihlakeleyo.” —ISt. UJohn Eudes, kwinqaku elithi “Ebukumkanini bukaYesu”, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, VV IV, iphe. 559
Ngobu busuku beKrisimesi, abanye babafundi bam bavalelwe;[7]"I-Austria iceba ukuphakamisa isitshixo, kodwa hayi kwabo bangagonywanga", fxnews.com abanye bavalwa kwiMisa eyandulela iKrismesi[8]"Uluntu olusekwe elukholweni lulungiselela iNew Brunswick ubungqina bomgaqo-nkqubo wogonyo", cf. lukyoku.ca ngoxa abanye beyibonile iMisa yabo irhoxisiwe ngokupheleleyo.[9]"I-Archdiocese yesiXeko saseQuebec irhoxisa zonke iiMisa zeKrisimesi ukuze 'silwe' ne-COVID-19", cf. elamav.com Kodwa ukuba uNyana kaThixo wahluthwayo kwindlu yabahambi, ngoko ke ngubani na ongoyena ubalaseleyo kuni ngoku kunoYesu ngokwakhe, oya kuza ngeyona ndlela ikhethekileyo kuni . . . ndikholisiwe”? Yivule intliziyo yakho, ibe ngathi yeyesinye isitali;[10]cf. Owu Ndwendwe Luthobekileyo, I-Ox kunye ne-Ass kwaye wamkele uYesu. Mfudumeze ngothando lwakho, ngokumnqula kwakho, ngokuthatha umzuzwana ukujonga emehlweni akhe kwaye umbulele ngokuba nguMsindisi wakho.
Akazange akushiye, enyanisweni.
Ndiyabulela kubafundi Bam
Kulo nyaka uphelileyo, iminyaka emibini eneneni, ayifani nayo nayiphi na enye kobu bulungiseleli. Ukufunda kwam kwakhula kakhulu, kwaye ngenxa yoko, ukuphindaphindwa kweeleta kunye nembalelwano. Ndiyaxolisa kuba khange ndikwazi ukuphendula wonke umntu. Enyanisweni, unyana wam uLevi (bona umfanekiso) wahlala phantsi ukuze asincede siphendule abo basithumileyo iileta kunye neminikelo. Kwaye ndizamile ukwenza konke okusemandleni am ukuphendula amawaka ee-imeyile endizifumene kulo nyaka uphelileyo… kodwa kunjalo, ibingumsebenzi ongenakwenzeka lowo. Ibuhlungu ke loo nto, kuba umntu ngamnye kuni ubalulekile njengomntu olandelayo, kwaye andifuni nicinge ukuba andinihoyanga. Ndifunda yonke into nangona ndingakwazi ukuphendula wonke umntu. Kukangaphi kule nyanga ndithe kusapho lwam: ukuba nje bebebathathu kum! (kodwa ndiyazi ukuba enye yanele kubo!).
Ngoko ke ndifuna ukuthatha lo mzuzu ndibulele kuni nonke enithe nayixhasa, nayithandazela, nayikhuthazayo le nkonzo. Ndifuna ukubulela abo kuni baye banamathela kum kulo msebenzi unzima wokubhenca ubuxoki obusemva kwesi sifo esikhokelela “kungquzulwano lokugqibela.” Kuyadinisa ukubhala njengoko ndiqinisekile ukuba kukufunda. Kodwa njengoko uMama wethu wathi,
Bantwana bam, anizazi na iimpawu zala maxesha? Ngaba awuthethi ngazo? —Aprili 2, 2006, ocatshulwe ku Intliziyo yam iyaphumelela nguMirjana Soldo, iphe. 299
Kungokulahla ngaphakathi kuphela apho uya kuthi ulwamkele uthando lukaThixo kunye neempawu zexesha ohlala kulo. Niya kuba ngamangqina ale miqondiso kwaye niya kuqala ukuthetha ngayo. - Matshi 18, 2006, Ibid.
Ke ndifuna ukubulela umncedisi wam umphandi, uWayne Labelle, oweza ebhodini kulo nyaka uphelileyo ukulawula "ILizwi Ngoku - Imiqondiso"Iwebhusayithi eMeWe kunye"I-COVID "Isitofu" samaxhoba kunye noPhando.” Wenze umsebenzi oncomekayo wokususa ukhula “ngeendaba zobuxoki” njengoko sinceda abafundi ukuba bahlale besazi ngeziganeko zehlabathi—umsebenzi odinisayo ngokwenene. Enkosi kuMphathi wethu weOfisi, uColette, ngokusebenza kwakhe ngokungadinwa kwemibuzo, ukuthengisa iincwadi kunye nomculo, nayo yonke enye into. Yaye ngaphezu kwako konke, ndiyambulela umfazi wam endimthandayo, uLea, nabantwana bam ngomonde nokuzincama kwabo.
Uxolo lukaThixo malube kuni nonke kunye neentsapho zenu, ukuze anithuthuzele kwaye anomeleze kuloMlindo weKrisimesi njengoko silindele ukufika kweLanga eliphumayo.
Mamela oku kulandelayo:
Landela uMarko kunye "nemiqondiso yamaxesha" yemihla ngemihla kum:
Landela imibhalo kaMarko apha:
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
