NAMHLANJE Ukufundwa kweMisa ngeCawa ngokumangalisayo kukhumbuza uPopu Benedict XVI kunye neziganeko zale veki iphelileyo:
UFUNDO LOKUQALA
Abangamhloneliyo bathetha bodwa, 'Masimlalele umntu onesidima, kuba uyasicaphukisa kwaye aphikise indlela yethu yokuphila, asithuke ngokwaphula kwethu umthetho kwaye asityhole ngokuba senza ubuxoki ekukhuliseni kwethu ... (Ubulumko 2, RSV)
Ngokwenyani uPopu Benedict, kwintetho yakhe kwiYunivesithi yaseJamani kwiveki ephelileyo, wayejolise ekuvavanyeni indlela ukucinga okulahla ukholo xa kungenako "ukungqinisisa ngokwamandla", akunangqondo. Ngapha koko, uPopu wakrwelela umgca wethu ukuqheleka kunye namaSilamsi ephawula ukuba njani,
"… Iinkcubeko zehlabathi ezithanda inkolo zikubona oku kukhutshwa kobuthixo kwindalo yonke yezizathu njengokuhlaselwa kwezona nkolelo zabo zinzulu." —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI; Ukholo, Isizathu, kunye neeNkumbulo zeYunivesithi kunye nokuBonakalisa; NgoSeptemba 12th, 2006, kwiDyunivesithi yaseRegensburg.
Nangona kunjalo, uBawo Oyingcwele, kuhlalutyo olufutshane lwenkolo uqobo, wakhomba (ngesicatshulwa esivela kumlawuli wamaxesha aphakathi) ukuba ubundlobongela abunandawo kwinkolo nanjengoko bungahambelani nendalo kaThixo nobunjani bomphefumlo; Oko kukuthi, ayisebenzi ngokufanelekileyo ichasene nendalo kaThixo. UPopu ucaphula kwiKoran kwimfundiso yokuqala kaMahammad exhasa oku kuqonda:
Akukho sinyanzelo kwinkolo. -Surah 2, 256
Kodwa uninzi lwamaSilamsi lukhethe ukwamkela ubundlongondlongo, icaphukisile into yokuba uPopu wayichasa indlela yobundlobongela kwaye wagxeka abo baphula umthetho ngokushiya ukukhuliswa kwabo ngobuxoki obungenangqondo. Ngelishwa, basongele uPapa, besebenzisa amagama angekude kangako kumbhali wale ncwadi yokuqala:
Masimvavanye ngenkohlakalo nangokungcungcuthekisa, kwaye ke sikhe siphonononge obu buntu bakhe kwaye sinyamezele ubungqina. Masimgwebele ukufa okulihlazo… Ubulumko 2
INDUMISO YOLAWULO
Ngokuba amadoda anekratshi asukele phezulu kum, Abantu abanobungqwangangqwili bafuna umphefumlo wam; Abamkhathalelanga uThixo. (INdumiso 53)
Akukho magqabantshintshi ayimfuneko, nangona ndiqinisekile ukuba uBawo oyiNgcwele uya kuxhomekeka kwisibhengezo:
INkosi yam ibuxhasa ubomi bam.
UKUFUNDA KWESIBINI
U-Yakobi usixelela kolu kufunda ukuba siyazi njani inkolo eyinyani ebubuxoki.
Ubulumko obuhla buvela phezulu ngokuyintloko buyinto esulungekileyo; lwenza uxolo, kwaye lunobubele kwaye lunolwazelelelo, luzele yimfesane kwaye luyazibonakalisa ngokwenza okuhle… abenzi boxolo, xa besebenzela uxolo, hlwayela imbewu eya kuvelisa iziqhamo ngobungcwele. (Yakobi 3)
UPopu waxolisa ngokungaqondani okubangelwe kukufundwa gwenxa kwentetho yakhe, kwaye wamema iinkokheli zamaSilamsi ukuba zenze intetho naye ngoMvulo. Ngapha koko, uyazisile imbeko yakhe enzulu kumaSilamsi ngeenzame zokuhlwayela uxolo lwenene.
UBenedict XVI uthe uyathemba "Le nto inceda iintliziyo kunye nokucacisa eyona ntsingiselo yedilesi yam, nesisimemo sencoko ethembekileyo nenyanisekileyo, ngentlonipho enkulu." -I-Arhente yeendaba yeZENIT, KwiSixeko saseVatican, ngoSeptemba 19, 2006
Ewe kunjalo, ubomi bokuthandaza, bokuzila ukutya, bokuzinikela, kunye nokunamathela kwimithetho yokuziphatha kufanelekile phakathi kwamaSilamsi amaninzi. Yiyo loo nto ubuSilamsi buye baba yinkolo ekhula ngokukhawuleza e-United States- ukuba ayibikho kwihlabathi-ngelixa ubuKrestu bungaqapheleki eNtshona, iqokobhe leVangeli elalakha inkcubeko ngokukhululekileyo nokuziphatha.
Ukanti, uphawu lwenkolo yokwenene lukho kwaye kufuneka lube yinkululeko. Njengokuba uPawulos esithi, "apho ukhoyo umoya weNkosi, kubakho inkululeko" (2 Kor. 3: 17). Uguquko olunobundlobongela aluhambelani noThixo, yiyo loo nto inkolo. UJames uyaqhubeka:
Iqala phi le mfazwe kunye neemfazwe phakathi kwenu? Ngaba akunjalo kwiminqweno yokulwa ngaphakathi kwakho? (Ibid.)
Ngaba unqwenela igunya lehlabathi kunye nolawulo? Ewe, uKrestu weza kuzoyisa iintlanga, kodwa hayi ngobundlobongela, kunokuba uthando. Inkululeko luphawu lwenyaniso. Ngenxa yoko, isizathu kufuneka sihambisane nokholo ukuze sikwazi ukuqonda "inyaniso esikhululayo" kwezo mfundiso zikhokelela ekufeni. Isifundisa njani le nto namhlanje!
UKUFUNDA IVANGELI
UNyana woMntu uza kunikelwa ezandleni zabantu, baya kumbulala… (UMarko 9)
UPopu Benedict uqonde kwasekuqaleni ukuba usisicaka, kwaye injongo yakhe kukuncama ubomi bakhe ngenxa yezimvu-indleko ethi ngamanye amaxesha ithethe inyani. Mhlawumbi ulazi ngakumbi ixabiso lento kunokuba siqonda….
Ukuba umntu ufuna ukuba ngowokuqala, kufuneka azenze owokugqibela kubo bonke, abe ngumkhonzi wabo bonke. (Ibid.)
Ndithandazeleni, ndingaze ndibaleke ngenxa yokoyika iingcuka. -UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Ukuvulwa kwabaNtu, Epreli 24, 2005, iSt.Peter's Square
