MY iintsuku njengentatheli kamabonakude zaphela kwaye iintsuku zam njengomshumayeli osisigxina wamaKatolika kunye nemvumi / umbhali wengoma waqala. Kwakule nqanaba lobufundisi ukuba ngequbuliso ndanikwa imishini entsha ... enye eyakha inkuthazo kunye nomxholo wale ncwadi. Uyabona ukuba ndizongeze ezinye ezam iingcinga kunye "namagama" endiwafumene ngomthandazo ndawabona kwicala lomoya. Zikho, mhlawumbi, njengezibane ezincinane ezikhombe kuKhanya kweSityhilelo esiNgcwele. Oku kulandelayo libali lokuchaza le mishini intsha ...

Nge-Agasti ka-2006, ndandihleli kwipiyano ndicula uhlobo lwenxalenye yeMisa “Sanctus,” endandiyibhalile: “Ngcwele, Ngcwele, Ngcwele ...” Ngokukhawuleza, ndaziva ndinomnqweno onamandla wokuya kuthandaza phambi Isakramente elisikelelekileyo.

Ecaweni, ndaqala ukuthandaza iOfisi (imithandazo esesikweni yeCawe engaphandle kweMisa.) Ndabona kwangoko ukuba "i-Hymn" ikwangala magama bendiqala ukuwacula: "Ngcwele, Ngcwele, Ngcwele! Nkosi Thixo uSomandla ...”Umoya wam waqala ukukhawuleza. Ndiqhubeke, ndathandaza amazwi kaMdumisi, “Ndazisa umnikelo otshiswayo endlwini yakho; kuwe ndiza kuzifezekisa izibhambathiso zam ... ”Ngaphakathi kwentliziyo yam ndinomnqweno omkhulu wokuzinikela ngokupheleleyo kuThixo, ngendlela entsha, kwinqanaba elinzulu. Ndandihlangabezana nomthandazo woMoya oyiNgcwele owathi “ungenelela ngokuncwina okungachazekiyo”(Rom 8:26).

Njengoko bendithetha neNkosi, ixesha lalibonakala ngathi liyanyibilika. Ndenza izifungo kuye, ngalo lonke elixesha ndiziva ndikhula ngentshiseko yemiphefumlo. Kwaye ke ndacela, ukuba kukuthanda kwakhe, ukuba neqonga elikhulu lokushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo. Ndandicinga ngehlabathi liphela! (Njengomvangeli, kwakutheni ukuze ndifune ukuphosa umnatha kum nje umganyana ukusuka elunxwemeni? Ndinqwenela ukuwurhuqa lonke ulwandle!) Ngesiquphe kwaba ngathi uThixo uphendula imithandazo yeOfisi. UkuFundwa kokuqala kwakuthathwe kwincwadi ka-Isaya kwaye kwathiwa, "Ubizo lomprofeti u-Isaya".

Iiserafi zazimi ngasentla; iyileyo inamaphiko amathandathu, ngamabini zazigqume ubuso bazo, ngamabini zifihle iinyawo zazo, ngamabini iphaphazela. Uyingcwele, uyingcwele, uyingcwele uYehova wemikhosi. Bakhala omnye komnye. ” (UIsaya 6: 2-3)

Ndiqhubekile ndifunda ngendlela uSeraphim abhabhela ngayo ku-Isaya, ndichukumisa imilebe yakhe ngomsindo, ndangcwalisa umlomo wakhe kwimishini engaphambili. "Ndiza kuthumela bani? Ngubani ozakusiyela?Waphendula uIsaya wathi,Ndikho, thuma mna!”Kwakhona, yayingathi incoko yam yangaphambili ibiqhubeka ngokubhala. Ukufundwa kwaqhubeka kwathiwa u-Isaya uza kuthunyelwa kubantu abaphulaphulayo kodwa abangaqondi, abajonga kodwa ababoni nto. Isibhalo sasibonakala sithetha ukuba abantu baya kuphiliswa bakuphulaphula kwaye bajonge. Kodwa nini, okanyeixesha elingakanani?Ubuza uIsaya. UNdikhoyo waphendula wathi: “Zide izixeko zibe ngamanxuwa, zingabi nabemi, izindlu zingabi namntu, nomhlaba ube senkangala.Oko kukuthi, xa uluntu luthotyiwe, kwaye lwaguqa ngamadolo.

Isifundo sesibini sasivela eSt. John Chrysostom, amagama abonakala ngathi athethwa ngqo kum:

Niyityuwa yomhlaba. Uthi, akungenxa yakho, kodwa kungenxa yehlabathi ukuba ilizwi liphathiswe wena. Andikuthumeli kwizixeko ezibini kuphela okanye kwishumi okanye kumashumi amabini, hayi kwisizwe esinye, njengoko ndathumela abaprofeti bakudala, kodwa ngaphesheya komhlaba naselwandle, kwihlabathi liphela. Kwaye elo lizwe likwimeko elusizi ... ufuna kula madoda ezo zinto zilungileyo zibaluleke ngakumbi kwaye ziyimfuneko ukuba zithwala imithwalo yabaninzi ... baya kuba ngabafundisi kungekuphela nje ePalestine kodwa kulo lonke umhlaba. Musa ukumangaliswa, ke, uthi, ukuba ndithetha nawe ngaphandle kwabanye kwaye ndikubandakanya kwishishini eliyingozi kangaka ... Xa bekuthuka, bekutshutshisa, bekumangalela kuyo yonke into embi, banokoyika ukuza ngaphambili. Ke ngoko uthi: “Ngaphandle kokuba niyilungele loo nto, kulilize ukuba ndininyulile. Iziqalekiso ziya kuba lilifa lakho kodwa aziyi kukwenzakalisa kwaye zibe bubungqina bokuzingisa kwakho. Ukuba ngenxa yokoyika, nangona kunjalo, uyehluleka ukubonisa amandla okuthunywa, isabelo sakho siya kuba sibi kakhulu. —St. UJohn Chrysostom, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqu. IV, iphe. 120-122

Isigwebo sokugqibela sandichukumisa, kuba kubusuku nje obudlulileyo, bendinexhala loloyiko lwam lokushumayela kuba andinayo ikhola yobufundisi, andinaso isidanga sobufundisi, kwaye [nabantwana abasibhozo] ndibondla. Olu loyiko luphendulwe kule mpendulo ilandelayo: “Niya kwamkela ke amandla, akubon 'ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlile phezu kwenu; nibe ngamangqina am kude kuse eziphelweni zehlabathi.”

Ngeli xesha, bendixakiwe yinto ebonakala ngathi iNkosi ithi kum: ukuba ndibizelwe ekusebenziseni isiko eliqhelekileyo lesiprofetho. Kwelinye icala, bendicinga ukuba kukuzikhukhumeza ukucinga into enjalo. Kwelinye icala, andinakukwazi ukuchaza ubabalo obungaphaya kwendalo obabuzele ngaphakathi kum.
Intloko yam iyajikeleza kwaye intliziyo yam ivutha, ndaya ekhaya ndavula iBhayibhile yam ndafunda:

Ndiza kuma kwindawo yam yokulinda, ndizimise eluqayini, ndibukele ukuze ndibone ukuba uza kuthini na kum, nokuba uza kuphendula athini kwisikhalazo sam. (Habb 2: 1)

Oku koko kanye uPopu John Paul II wakubuzayo kuthi kulutsha xa sasihlangene naye kwiWorld Youth Day eToronto, Canada, ngo-2002:

Embindini wobusuku singaziva sisoyika kwaye singakhuselekanga, kwaye silinde ngokungapheliyo umonde wokukhanya. Lutsha bantu abathandekayo, kuxhomekeke kuni ukuba nibe ngabalindi bakusasa (cf. Is 21: 11-12) abavakalisa ukuza kwelanga onguKrestu ovukileyo! -Umyalezo kaBawo oyiNgcwele kuLutsha lweHlabathi, XVII uSuku loLutsha lweHlabathi, n. 3

Abaselula bazibonakalise ukuba basebenzela i-Roma kunye neCawe isipho esikhethekileyo soMoya kaThixo ... andizange ndibathandabuze ukubacela ukuba bakhethe ngokholo kunye nobomi kwaye babanike umsebenzi onqabileyo: ukuba babe "kusasa abalindi ”ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane entsha. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, UNovo Millenio Inuente, n. 9

Eli khwelo lokuba "ubukele" laphindwa nguPopu Benedict wase-Australia xa wayecela ulutsha ukuba lube ngabathunywa bexesha elitsha:

Ukunikwa amandla nguMoya, nokuzoba umbono otyebileyo wokholo, isizukulwana esitsha samaKristu siyabizwa ukuba sincedise ekwakheni umhlaba apho isipho sikaThixo sobomi samkelwa, sihlonitshwe kwaye sigcinwa — singalahlwa, sisoyikiswa njengesoyikiso, kwaye sitshatyalaliswe. Ixesha elitsha apho uthando lunganyolukiyo okanye luzifunela ngokwalo, kodwa lusulungekile, luthembekile kwaye lukhululekile ngokwenyani, luvuleleke kwabanye, bahloniphe isidima sabo, bafuna ukulunga kwabo, beveza uvuyo kunye nobuhle. Ixesha elitsha apho ithemba lisikhulula khona kukungabi nanto, ukungakhathali, kunye nokuzifunela ngokwakho okubulala imiphefumlo yethu kunye nokonakalisa ubudlelwane bethu. Bahlobo abathandekayo, iNkosi ifuna ukuba nibe ngabaprofeti beli xesha litsha. -I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, iKhaya leSizwe loLutsha, eSydney, e-Australia, nge-20 kaJulayi ka-2008

Okokugqibela, ndaziva ndinomdla wokuvula iCatechism — umqulu onamaphepha angama-904 — kwaye, ngaphandle kokwazi ukuba ndiza kufumana ntoni, ndaya ngqo koku:

Kwintlanganiso yabo "nye-nye", abaprofeti bazola ukukhanya kunye namandla omsebenzi wabo. Umthandazo wabo ayisibaleki kweli hlabathi lingathembekanga, kodwa kukumamela iLizwi likaThixo. Ngamanye amaxesha umthandazo wabo uyimpikiswano okanye isikhalazo, kodwa ihlala ingumthetheleli olindele kwaye alungiselele ukungenelela koMsindisi kaThixo, iNkosi yezembali. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika (CCC), 2584, phantsi kwesihloko esithi: "U-Eliya nabaprofeti nokuguquka kwentliziyo"

Isizathu sokuba ndibhale oku kungasentla ayikokuxela ukuba ndingumprofeti. Ndiyimvumi nje, ndingutata, kwaye ndingumlandeli woMchweli waseNazarete. Okanye njengoko umphathi wezinto zokomoya esitsho, ndingumthunywa omncinci kaThixo. Ngamandla ala mava phambi kweSakramente eliSikelelweyo, kunye nesiqinisekiso endisifumene ngokhokelo lwasemoyeni, ndaqala ukubhala ngokwamazwi abekwe entliziyweni yam kwaye ngokusekwe kwinto endinokuyibona phezu "kongqameko."

Umyalelo woMama wethu osikelelekileyo eSt. Catherine Labouré mhlawumbi ushwankathela awona mava am:

Uya kubona izinto ezithile; nika ingxelo wento oyibonayo noyivayo. Uyakuphefumlelwa kwimithandazo yakho; Nika ingxelo endikuxelela yona nento oyakuyiqonda emithandazweni yakho. —St. UCatherine, Umbhalo wesandla, NgoFebruwari 7, 1856, Dirvin, Saint Catherine Labouré, Oovimba abagcina iintombi zaseCharity, eParis, eFrance; p. 84

Abaprofeti, abaprofeti bokwenyani, abo babeka emngciphekweni intamo yabo ngokuvakalisa "inyaniso"
Nokuba ungakhululekanga, nokuba "akumnandi ukuphulaphula" ...
“Umprofeti oyinyaniso ngulowo ukwaziyo ukulilela abantu
kunye nokuthetha izinto eziqinileyo xa kufuneka. "
Icawe ifuna abaprofeti. Ezi ntlobo zabaprofeti.
“Ndiza kuthetha ngakumbi: Uyasidinga zonke babe ngabaprofeti.
