Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha
PHI AmaKatolika amaninzi angena kuxinzelelo njengoko iSynod yosapho eRoma iqhubeka nokujikeleza kwimpikiswano, ndiyathandaza ukuba abanye babone enye into: UThixo utyhila ukugula kwethu ngayo yonke le nto. Utyhila kwiCawe yaKhe ukuzingca kwethu, ukuzingca kwethu, imvukelo yethu, kwaye mhlawumbi ngaphezu kwako konke, ukuswela kwethu ukholo.
Kuba ubuKristu kunye nosindiso asiyonzululwazi ye-rocket. Ichaneke ngokwenene, njengoko iSt. Paul isikhumbuza kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje:
Isono masingayilawuli imizimba yenu efayo ukuze nithobele iinkanuko zayo. intobelo ekhokelela ebulungiseni?
Kukho iindlela ezimbini zomntu ngamnye: ukulandela intando yoMdali, okanye ukuthanda kwakhe. Ukulandela ukuthanda kukabani ngokuchasene nemithetho kaThixo kubizwa ngokuba “sisono”. Kwaye oku kukhokelela ekufeni: ubumnyama ezintliziyweni zethu, ubumnyama kubudlelwane, ubumnyama ezixekweni zethu, ubumnyama ezizweni zethu, kunye nobumnyama emhlabeni. Ke ngoko uYesu, "ukhanyiselo lwehlabathi",[1]cf. Yohane 8:11 weza kusihlangula kobu bumnyama, emandleni esono esikhokelela ebukhobokeni.
Lowo ulukhanyiso lwenene olukhanyisela wonke umntu, wayesiza ehlabathini... Ke bona abantu abahleli ebumnyameni babone ukukhanya okukhulu; ( Yohane 1:9; Mateyu 4:16 )
Ndithi uKrestu, ukhanyiso lwethu, ukhanyisela iqhayiya kunye nokucingela kweBandla ngeli lixa—ingakumbi oku “kwabagcini benkqubo”—kuba abaninzi balibale ukuba yonke into abayifumeneyo lubabalo lonke. Kulula ukuhlala ugwebe oobhishophu, abefundisi, yaye ewe, oopopu, baze bagwebe iziphoso zabo. Kulula ukufunda izihloko zeendaba nokukhomba abahedeni ngeminwe. Kodwa umntu onjalo ulibale ukuba ebengengomngqibi kanye owathi uYehova wadlula, wamphakamisa emseleni, kodwa usengumngqibi omphefumlo wakhe uphela usisipho esivela kwaloo Nkosi. Zonke iinkozo zokulunga nobungcwele zilubabalo-lonke ubabalo.
Kungenxa yakhe ukuba nikuKristu Yesu ... ukuze, njengoko kubhaliwe, "Oqhayisayo aqhayise ngeNkosi." ( 1 Korinte 1:30-31 )
Ndithi uKristu, ukukhanya kwethu, kukhanyisela ukuvukela kweBandla nokuswela ukholo—ingakumbi “kwabakhululekileyo”—kuba abaninzi bayilibele (okanye ngabom bayityeshela) iVangeli yenguquko. Baye bangamampunge ekuqiqeni nasekulungiseni amagwala ngokwezobupolitika azikhohliseyo ekukholelweni ukuba isono asiyiyo into esiyiyo: “esikhokelela ekufeni.”
Bazalwane noodade, uSathana uye wakhupha umsinga wenkohliso phezu kwehlabathi lethu, kodwa eyona ijoliswe kakhulu eBandleni.
Inyoka, nangona kunjalo, ikhuphe umlambo wamanzi emlonyeni wayo emva kokuba umfazi eyitshayele ngomsinga wamanzi. (ISityhi. 12:15)
Lo mlo sizifumana kuwo… [ngokuchasene] namagunya atshabalalisa umhlaba, kuthethwa ngawo kwisahluko se-12 seSityhilelo… Kuthiwa inamba ikhokelela kumjelo omkhulu wamanzi ngokuchasene nomfazi obalekayo, ukumtshayela… ndicinga ukuba Kulula ukutolika ukuba lo mlambo umeleni: yile misinga ilawula wonke umntu, kwaye ifuna ukuphelisa ukholo lweCawa, olubonakala ngathi alunandawo yokuma phambi kwamandla alomsinga azinyanzelisa njengeyona ndlela yokucinga, ekuphela kwendlela yobomi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iseshoni yokuqala yesinodi ekhethekileyo kuMbindi Mpuma, nge-10 ka-Okthobha ka-2010
Nangona kunjalo, xa silibala ukuba singabangqibi, libala ukuba uYesu akafuni kuthi kuphela inkolelo kodwa intobeko, hayi ukholo kuphela kodwa uthando, hayi ubulungisa kuphela kodwa inceba, hayi inceba kodwa ubulungisa ... ngoko nathi sisemngciphekweni wokutshayelwa. ikratshi, ukuzicingela, ukungakhathali nobumfama.
UmKatolika ongaphili ngenene nangokunyanisekileyo ngokokholo alubizayo akazukuzibamba kwezi ntsuku xa umoya wengxabano kunye nentshutshiso zivuthuza ngamandla, kodwa uzakutshayelwa azikhusele kulo mkhukula mtsha usongela umhlaba . Kwaye ke, ngelixa elungiselela ukonakala kwakhe, utyhila ukuhlekisa ngegama likaKristu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Divini Redemptoris "Kubukomanisi obungakholelwayo kuThixo", n. 43; Ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesithoba ku-Matshi 19
Ngoko ke, iVangeli yanamhlanje i isilumkiso kwabo balele elukholweni ngeendlela ezithile.
Nani ke zilungiseleleni, ngokuba uNyana woMntu uza ngelixa eningalikhumbuleliyo? ixesha? Unoyolo loo mkhonzi, iya kuthi yakufika inkosi yakhe imfumane esenjenjalo. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Impendulo kule nto Uqhwithela olukhulu, kunye nesiphithiphithi esikhoyo nesizayo, kukuthabatha nje iNkosi yethu ngelizwi laYo: ukuba nokholo kuye njengomntwana; ukuguquka ezonweni zethu njengaboni; kunye nokufuna amandla akhe njengehlwempu elingqibayo ukuba asincede siphile ekukhanyeni: “Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba... Nkosi, ndifuna ukubona.” [2]UMarko 10: 47, 51
Ukukhumbula oko konke lubabalo. Kwaye ukuba uyakhumbula, nalo lubabalo.
Ngexa amadoda asuka phezu kwethu, abeya kusiginya sihleli; abeya kusiqwenga amanzi; umlambo ngewusikhukulise; ngebewakhukulisile amanzi alo. Makabongwe uYehova, ongasishiyanga; ixhoba emazinyweni abo… Waphukile umgibe, kwaye sakhululwa. Uncedo lwethu lusegameni likaYehova, umenzi wezulu nehlabathi.
Gcina ilungile ingqayi yakho yeoli
Ngezinto ezintle kunye nezenzo,
Kwanele ukugcina
Isibane sakho siyavutha
Hleze ugcinwe ngaphandle
Xa Efika.
Musani ukungakhathali.
—St. UTeresa waseAvila
