IS kungenzeka ukuba, le Advent, silungiselela ngokwenene ukuza kukaYesu? Ukuba simamela izinto ebezithethwa ngoopopu (Iipopu, kunye neXesha lokuKhangela), Oko uMama wethu akutshoyo (Ngaba nyhani uYesu uyeza?), koko kuthethwa ngaBaseki beCawa (Ukuza okuPhakathi), kwaye ubeke onke amaqhekeza ndawonye (Bawo Oyingcwele ... Uyeza!), impendulo ithi "ewe!" Ayisiyiyo ukuba uYesu uza ngalo Disemba 25. Kwaye akazanga ngohlobo lokuba imiboniso bhanyabhanya evangeli ibisoloko iphakamisa, yandulelwa luxhwilo, njalo njalo Kukuza kukaKristu. Ngaphakathi Iintliziyo zabanyanisekileyo ukuzalisekisa zonke izithembiso zesiBhalo esizifunda kulenyanga kwincwadi ka-Isaya.
Kuba iimfihlakalo zikaYesu azikagqitywa ngokupheleleyo kwaye azalisekiswa. Aphelele, eneneni, ayibubuntu bukaYesu, kodwa hayi kuthi, abangamalungu akhe, okanye eCaweni, umzimba wakhe ongaqondakaliyo. —St. U-John Elies, phatha "kubukumkani bukaYesu", Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, VV IV, iphe. 559
Kwaye kuyinjongo kaThixo ukubazalisekisa. Ngokubhala kuka-St. Paul, uBawo uyakuqhubeka ethulula uMoya wakhe nezipho…
… Side sonke sifikelele kubunye bokholo naselwazini loNyana kaThixo, ebudodeni obupheleleyo, ukuya kufikelela kubume obupheleleyo bukaKristu. (Efese 4:13)
Kwaye oku, ukuze aBantu bakaThixo ba…
… Abe ngcwele engenasiphako phambi kwakhe… ukuze azise kuye iBandla ngobuqaqawuli, lingenabala okanye mibimbi okanye nayiphi na into enjalo, ukuze abe ngcwele engenasiphako. (Kwabase-Efese 1: 4, 5:27)
Oku kubizwa ngokuba "kukufika okuphakathi" apho iNenekazi lethu "umfazi owambethe ilanga" ebonakala kwaye elungiselela thina, linqanaba lokugqibela kwimbali yoluntu xa uThixo-hayi uSathana-efumana ilizwi lokugqibela. [1]cf. Ukuthethelelwa kobulumko Xa, njengoko uIsaya waprofetayo, “Umhlaba uya kuzaliswa kukwazi uYehova” [2]cf. Isa 11: 7 kwaye…
… Ezi ndaba zilungileyo zobukumkani ziya kushunyayelwa kwihlabathi liphela njengobungqina kuzo zonke iintlanga, kwandule ke ukufika ukuphela. (Mat 24:14)
ILouis de Montfort yakha yathandaza:
Imithetho yakho yaphukile, iVangeli yakho iphoselwe ecaleni, imilambo yobugwenxa igcwele umhlaba wonke uthatha nabakhonzi bakho ... Ngaba yonke into iya kufikelela esiphelweni njengeSodom neGomora? Awusoze waphula ukuthula kwakho? Ngaba uya kuyinyamezela yonke le nto ngonaphakade? Ngaba akuyonyaniso ukuba ukuthanda kwakho kufuneka kwenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini? Ayilonyani na ukuba ubukumkani bakho bufanele bufike? Ngaba awuzange unike eminye imiphefumlo, othandekayo kuwe, umbono wokuvuselelwa kweCawa kwexa elizayo? —Umthandazo wabavangeli, n. 5; www.ewtn.com
Imiphefumlo efana noSt. Bernard waseClairvaux:
Siyazi ukuba zintathu izinto eziza neNkosi… Ekuzeni kokugqibela, yonke inyama iya kulubona usindiso lukaThixo wethu, bajonge kulowo bamhlabileyo. Ukuza okuphakathi kufihlakele; kuyo kuphela ngabanyuliweyo abona iNkosi ngaphakathi kweziqu zabo, kwaye basindisiwe… Ekuzeni kwayo okokuqala iNkosi yethu yeza isenyameni yethu nakubuthathaka bethu; koku kuza phakathi uza ngomoya nangamandla; Ekuzeni kokugqibela uya kubonakala enobuqaqawuli nobungangamsha…—St. UBernard, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Vol I, iphe. 169
Kwaye nguCyril waseYerusalem:
Kukho ukuzalwa okuvela kuThixo ngaphambi kwexesha, kunye nokuzalwa kwintombi enyulu ngokuzaliseka kwexesha. Ukufika okufihlakeleyo, oku kwemvula eboyeni, nokufika phambi kwamehlo onke, kwixesha elizayo xa abuya ngobuqaqawuli ukugweba abaphilayo nabafileyo. -I-Catechetical Instruction ka-St. Cyril wase-Jerusalem, iSifundo 15; uguqulelo olusuka Ubungangamsha beNdalo, Umfu. Joseph Iannuzzi, iphe. 59
Iconchita ehloniphekileyo…
Umanyano lwendalo efanayo nolomanyano lwezulu, ngaphandle kokuba kwiparadesi isigqubuthelo esifihla ubuThixo siyanyamalala… -UYesu kwiConchita ehloniphekileyo, URonda Chervin, Hamba Nam Yesu; icatshulwe kwi Isithsaba kunye nokuGqitywa kwako konke ukungcwatywa, UDaniel O'Connor, iphe. 12
… Nohloniphekileyo uMaria Concepción:
Lifikile ixesha lokuphakamisa uMoya oyiNgcwele emhlabeni…. Ndinqwenela ukuba lo msebenzi wokugqibela angcwaliswe ngendlela ekhethekileyo kulo Moya ungcwele ... Lixesha lakhe, lithuba lakhe, loloyiso lothando eCaweni yam. , kwindalo iphela. —UYesu kuLowo uhloniphekileyo uMaría Concepción Cabrera de Armida; UFr. UMarie-Michel Philipon, uConchita: Idayari kaMama yokomoya, iphe. 195-196
Kwaye xa sinokuthi silingelwe ukuwachasa la mazwi esiprofeto esithi, "Oo, sisityhilelo sabucala eso," sinokuqiniseka ukuba oku kufundisiwe ngoopopu ngokunjalo.
Umsebenzi kaPopu John othobekileyo “kukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abafezekileyo,” kanye okufana nomsebenzi womBhaptizi, umxhasi wakhe nalowo uthatha igama lakhe. Kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba ucinge ngokugqibeleleyo okuphezulu nangaphezulu okuxabisekileyo kunoloyiso loxolo lobuKristu, oluseluxolweni entliziyweni, uxolo ngolungelelwaniso lwentlalo, ebomini, impilo-ntle, ukuhloniphana, kunye nobuzwe bezizwe . —ST. UPAPA JOHN XXIII, Uxolo Lokwenene LwamaKristu, NgoDisemba 23, 1959; www.catholicculture.org
Xa ufikile, uyakuvela iyure enesidima, enye enkulu ineziphumo kungekuphela ekubuyiselweni kobukumkani bukaKristu, kodwa kunye noxolo lwehlabathi. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi "Kuxolo lukaKristu eBukumkanini bakhe", UDisemba 23, 1922
Lutsha luhlobo lwam, kuxhomekeke kuni ukuba ngabalindi bentsasa bexela ngokuza kwelanga ngubani uKrestu ovusiweyo! -I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo kaBawo Oyingcwele kuLutsha lweHlabathi, XVII uSuku lweHlabathi loluTsha, n. 3; (cf. ngaba 21: 11-12)
Kungenxa yezi zithembiso zingokwesiprofetho, mawethu, apho uMama wethu anqwenela ukunithuthuzela kwakhona.
Thuthuzela, thuthuzela abantu bam, utsho uThixo wakho. Thetha kakuhle neJerusalem, ubhengeze ukuba inkonzo yayo iphelile… (Ufundo lwanamhlanje lokuqala)
Kodwa ukuba oku kuza kweLanga eliVukileyo kuyimbonakalo yangaphakathi yobomi bukaThixo, namandla nobungcwele,[3]cf. Ukuza okuNtsha kunye nobuNgcwele obuNgcwele ke kuyacaca ukuba kufuneka lungise ukumamkela. Njengokuba abaninzi belahlekile ukuza kukaKrestu kokuqala, ngokunjalo ke, abaninzi baya kuliphosa eli “zinga liphakathi”.
Ilizwi liyakhala lisithi: "Lungisani uNdikhoyo indlela entlango!" (Ufundo lwanamhlanje lokuqala)
UIsaya uthi kufuneka 'siwulungelelanise umendo kaThixo wethu enkangala!' Oko kukuthi, uku susa loo miqobo yesono oko kuthintela ubabalo lwaKhe. Kufuneka ukuba "sigcwalise iintlambo", oko kukuthi, ezo ndawo ezisezintliziyweni zethu apho sikhona uswele uthando, ingakumbi kwabo basivise kabuhlungu. Kwaye kufuneka sizenze zibe phantsi “zonke iintaba” oko kukuthi, ezo nduli ze ikratshi nokuzithemba oko kungashiyi ndawo kubukho bukaThixo.
Singathandaza ke, ngokuza kukaYesu? Ngaba sinokuthi ngokunyanisekileyo: “Marantha! Yiza Nkosi Yesu! ”? Ewe singakwazi. Ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela: kufuneka! Sithandazela ulindelo lobukho bakhe obuguqula umhlaba. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, uYesu waseNazarete, iVeki eNgcwele: Ukusuka ekungeneni eJerusalem ukuya eluVukweni, iphe. 292, Ignatius Cinezela
Kodwa oku kuza kukaKristu, bazalwana noodade, akufani nokuza kukaYesu apho "ababini okanye abathathu bahlanganisene," okanye ukuza kwakhe eBaptizweni nakwi-Ekaristi, okanye ngaphakathi kwakhe ngomthandazo. Endaweni yoko, oku kuza kuza kuthoba izizwe, kuhlambulule umhlaba, kwaye kumise uBukumkani bokuthanda kwakhe okungcwele “Emhlabeni njengasezulwini” njengakwiPentekoste entsha.
Hayi, ntombi yam, isidalwa sihlala sibalekela ebubini. Mangaphi amaqhinga abawenzayo! Baya kufikelela kwinqanaba lokuba bazixhokonxe ngobubi. Kodwa ngexa bezixakekisa ngokuhamba ngendlela yabo, ndiza kuZixakekisa ngokugqibezela i-Fiat Voluntas Tua (“Intando yakho mayenziwe”) ukuze ukuthanda Kwam kulawule emhlabeni- kodwa ngendlela entsha. Ewe ewe, ndifuna ukuphazamisa umntu kuThando! Ke ngoko, nikela ingqalelo. Ndifuna ukuba nawe ulungiselele eli xesha lothando lwasezulwini nobungcwele… —UYesu waya kuMkhonzi kaThixo, uLuisa Piccarreta, kwiMibhalo-ngqangi, Feb 8th, 1921; isicatshulwa esivela Ubungangamsha beNdalo, UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, iphe. 80
Ke, ngokunjalo, iintlambo, iinduli kunye neentaba zobukumkani bukaSathana mazibhangiswe. Ndiza kuqhubeka ke ndicamngca ngeli "rhamncwa" lizimisele ukujongela phantsi ubukumkani bukaKristu ukuze iintliziyo zethu zilungele kwaye iingqondo zethu zilungele “ukujongana kokugqibela” kwelixesha…
Kodwa kwanobu busuku kwihlabathi bubonisa ngokucacileyo ukukhanya okuza kuza, kosuku olutsha olwamkela ukwanga kwelanga elitsha nelikhazimlayo… Intsha
Uvuko lukaYesu luyimfuneko: uvuko lwenene, olungasayi kuphinda lukhokele ekufeni… Emntu ngamnye, uKrestu kufuneka abutshabalalise ubusuku besono esibi kunye nokusa kwakhona kobabalo. Kwiintsapho, ubusuku bokungakhathali kunye nokuphola kufuneka bunike ilanga lothando. Kwimizi-mveliso, ezixekweni, ezizweni, kumazwe okungaqondani kunye nentiyo ubusuku kufuneka bukhule buqaqambe njengemini ... kwaye ingxabano iyakuphela kwaye kubekho uxolo. Yiza Nkosi Yesu… Thumela ingelosi yakho, Owu Nkosi, wenze ubusuku bethu bukhule buqaqambe njengemini… Mingaphi imiphefumlo elangazelela usuku oluya kuhlala wedwa ulawule ezintliziyweni zalo! Yiza, Nkosi Yesu. Kukho imiqondiso emininzi yokuba ukubuya kwakho akukude. —UPOPI PIUX XII, Urbi et Orbi idilesi, Matshi 2, 1957; IVatican.va
… Kuba uze kulawula umhlaba.
Uya kulilawula ihlabathi ngobulungisa
Izizwe ngezizwana zakhe. (INdumiso yanamhlanje)
