UMVUZO WOTYELELO
Ngoxa wayekhulelwe uYesu, uMariya waya kumzala wakhe uElizabhete. Emva kokubulisa kukaMariya, isiBhalo sixelela ukuba umntwana osesiswini sikaElizabethe-uYohane umBhaptizi-“waxhuma luvuyo”.
John ndive UYesu.
Singasifunda njani esi sicatshulwa size sisilele ukububona ubomi kunye nobukho bomntu esibelekweni? Ngolu suku, intliziyo yam icinezelwe yintlungu yokuqhomfa kuMntla Merika. Kwaye amazwi athi, “Uvuna oko ukuhlwayeleyo” ebedlala engqondweni yam.
NDINE Ndaziva ndinomdla wokubukela imovie UTroy kangangeenyanga eziliqela. Ke ekugqibeleni, sayirenta.
Isixeko esingangenekiyo saseTroy sitshatyalalisiwe xa sivumela umnikelo kuthixo wobuxoki ukuba ungene emasangweni ayo: "Ihashe leTrojan." Ebusuku xa wonke umntu elele, amajoni, efihlwe ngaphakathi kwehashe elenziwe ngomthi, avele aqala ukuxhela nokutshisa isixeko.
Emva koko wacofa kunye nam: Eso sixeko liBandla.
UMHLOBO undibhalele namhlanje, esithi uziva engelutho. Ngapha koko, mna kunye namaqabane am amaninzi siziva sizolile. Uye wathi, "Ingathi ixesha lokulungiselela liphela ngoku. Uyayiva?"
Umfanekiso ufike kum ngesaqhwithi, kwaye ngoku sikwi iliso loqhwithela… "isiphepho sangaphambi" kwiNkanyamba enkulu ezayo. Ngapha koko, ndiziva ukuba iNceba yenceba yangeCawa (izolo) yayiliziko leso; Ngolo suku sathi ngequbuliso isibhakabhaka savuleka ngentla kwethu, laza iLanga leNceba lasikhanyisela ngamandla alo onke. Ngalo mhla apho sasiya kuthi siphume kwingxubakaxaka yeentloni kunye nesono siphaphazela ngathi, size sibalekele kwindawo ekhuselekileyo yeNceba kaThixo nothando—ukuba sikhethe ukwenza njalo.
Ewe, mhlobo wam, ndiyaziva. Umoya wotshintsho sowuza kuvuthuza kwakhona, kwaye umhlaba awusoze uphinde ubengafani. Kodwa akufuneki silibale: iLanga leNceba liya kufihlwa ngamafu amnyama, kodwa lingaze licinywe.
NGOMEYI 30, Ngo-1862, iSt. John Bosco yayine iphupha lesiprofeto loo nto ichaza ngokungathandekiyo amaxesha ethu — kwaye isenokuba ngawo maxesha ethu.
… Ephupheni lakhe, uBosco ubona ulwandle olukhulu luzele iinqanawa zemfazwe zihlasela enye inqanawa emele iBandla. Kwisaphetha sale nqanawa iphambili nguPopu. Uqala ukukhokela inqanawa yakhe ukuya kwiintsika ezimbini ezivele kulwandle oluvulekileyo.

THE intshabalalo yile, yintoni omnye umhlali walapha ekuchazeni kum "njengemilinganiselo yebhayibhile". Bendingavuma ukuthula cwaka emva kokubona umonakalo weNkanyamba uKatrina.
Uqhwithela lwenzeka kwiinyanga ezisixhenxe ezidlulileyo- kwiiveki ezimbini kuphela emva kwekonsathi yethu eViolet, kwiikhilomitha ezili-15 kumazantsi eNew Orleans. Kubonakala ngathi yenzekile kwiveki ephelileyo.
UTHIXO amagqabi, njengomqondiso womnqophiso wakhe noNowa, a rainbow esibhakabhakeni.
Kodwa kutheni umnyama?
UYesu ukukuKhanya kwehlabathi. Ukukhanya, xa kwaphulwe, kuqhekeka kunemibala emininzi. UThixo wayenze umnqophiso nabantu bakhe, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uYesu eze, ulwalamano lwasemoyeni lwalusaphulwe—phukile-Kade uKristu afike, ahlanganisele kuye zonke izinto, azenze zibe "nye". Unokuthi Cross yiprism, indawo yokuKhanya.
Xa sibona umnyama, kufuneka siwuqonde njenge uphawu lukaKrestu, uMnqophiso oMtsha: iarc echukumisa izulu, kodwa nomhlaba… efuzisela ubume obuntlu-mbini bukaKristu, kokubini nguThixo kwaye umntu.
In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.-Kwabase-Efese, 1: 8-10
PHA Amaxesha ambalwa kule veki iphelileyo xa bendishumayela, ngequbuliso ndothukile. Ingqondo endandinayo yayingathi ndinguNowa, ndikhwaza kummango womkhombe: "Ngena! Ngena! Ngena kwiNceba kaThixo!"
Kutheni ndiziva ngolu hlobo? Andikwazi ukuyicacisa… ngaphandle kokuba ndibona amafu enkqwithela, ekhulelwe kwaye evuthuza, ehamba ngokukhawuleza elundini.
IXESHA-iyakhawulezisa? Abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba kunjalo. Oku kuza kum ngelixa ndicamngca:
I-MP3 yifomathi yengoma apho umculo ucinezelwe, kwaye ingoma iyavakala ngokufanayo kwaye iseyilinganayo. Okukhona uyicinezela, nangona ubude buhlala bungafani, umgangatho uqala ukonakala.
Ngokunjalo, kubonakala ngathi ixesha liyacinezelwa, nangona iintsuku zilinganayo. Kwaye okukhona becinezelwa, kokukhona kukho ukonakala kwemilinganiselo yokuziphatha, indalo, nocwangco.
UKUFUNDA Ukusuka kwi-Divine Liturgy kule veki kuye kwahlala nam:
UThixo walinda ngomonde ngemihla kaNowa xa kwakusakhiwa umkhombe. (1 Petros 3:20)
Ingqondo kukuba sikwixesha lokugqitywa komkhombe, kwaye kungekudala. Yintoni umkhombe? Xa ndabuza lo mbuzo, ndajonga phezulu kwi icon kaMariya ……… impendulo yabonakala ngathi isifuba sakhe ngumkhombe, kwaye uqokelela intsalela kuye, ukuze ayenzele uKristu.
Kwaye yayinguYesu owathi uza kubuya "njengakwimihla kaNowa" nanjengemihla kaLote "(Luka 17:26, 28). Wonke umntu ujonge imozulu, iinyikima, iimfazwe, izibetho nobundlobongela; kodwa ingaba siyalibala ngemiqondiso "yokuziphatha" yamaxesha uKristu abhekisa kuwo? Ukufundwa kwesizukulwana sikaNowa kunye nesizukulwana sikaLote- kunye nokuba ziziphi iziphoso zabo- kufanele kubonakale kungathandekiyo.
Amadoda ngamanye amaxesha ayakhubeka ngenyaniso, kodwa uninzi lwazo luyaziphakamisa kwaye lukhawuleze ngokungathi akwenzekanga nto. -Winston Churchill
MHLAWUMBI bubusika nje obuncinci, kwaye ke wonke umntu ungaphandle endaweni yokulandela iindaba. Kodwa kuye kwakho imixholo ephazamisayo elizweni engakhange ibethe rhabaxa. Kwaye okwangoku, banako ukuphembelela olu hlanga kwizizukulwana ezizayo:
THE ukunganyamezelani "ukunyamezelana!"
Inomdla wokuba abo batyhola amaKristu
intiyo nokunganyamezelani
zihlala zinobungozi kwi
ithoni kunye nenjongo.
Yeyona icace gca-kwaye kulula ukujonga ngaphezulu
uhanahaniso lwamaxesha ethu.
