Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha

THE Incwadi ka-Isaya- kunye nale Advent-iqala ngombono omnandi woSuku oluzayo apho “zonke izizwe” ziya kugxalathelana ukuya eCaweni ukuba zondliwe zivela kuye iimfundiso zikaYesu ezinika ubomi. NgokwabaSeki beCawa bamandulo, iNkosazana yethu yaseFatima, kunye namazwi esiprofeto oopopu benkulungwane yama-20, ngenene singalindela "ixesha loxolo" elizayo xa "beya kukhanda amakrele abo abe ngamakhuba nemikhonto yabo ibe ngamagwegwe okuthena" (jonga Bawo oyiNgcwele othandekayo… Uyeza!)

… Ukujonga amehlo ethu kwikamva, silindele ngokuqinisekileyo ukuvela koSuku olutsha… “Balindi, yintoni ebusuku?” (Isa. 21:11), kwaye siva impendulo: “Hark, abalindi bakho baphakamisa ilizwi labo, bamemelele kunye kunye: ngamehlo bakubona ukubuyela kweNkosi eZiyon ”…. Ubungqina babo ngesisa kuzo zonke iimbombo zomhlaba babhengeza "Njengokuba iwaka lesithathu leNtlawulelo lisondela, uThixo ulungiselela intwasahlobo enkulu yobuKrestu kwaye sele siyibona imiqondiso yokuqala." Kwangathi uMariya, iNkwenkwezi yasekuseni, asincede sitsho ngentshiseko ukuba "ewe" kwicebo likaBawo losindiso ukuze zonke izizwe neelwimi zibubone ubuqaqawuli bakhe. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo we-World Mission ngeCawa, n. 9, Oktobha 24, 1999; www.v Vatican.va

Usikelelwe uJohn Paul II ubophe "uMhla" ozayo, eli "xesha lentwasahlobo litsha", kunye nolindelo "lokubuya kweNkosi." Nangona kunjalo, njengoko uBawo weCawa wokuqala uLactantius echazayo, ^[1]cf. UFaustina kunye nomhla weNkosi "Usuku lweNkosi" alufanele luqondwe njengosuku lweeyure ezingama-24, kodwa lixesha, into eyakhankanywa ngooBawo kwisiTyhilelo 20 ukuba ngumthetho olawulayo ka "Kristu weminyaka eliwaka" ngabangcwele baKhe.

Ithemba lentwasahlobo elitsha lilungelelaniswe nesilumkiso seVangeli: imini yeNkosi yandulelwa bubusika buka ukutshatyalaliswa.

Njengoko kwaye kuhle ngemihla kaNowa, koba njalo nokufika koNyana woMntu. Ngaloo mihla yangaphambi konogumbe, babesidla kwaye besela, betshata benditshata, kude kube ngumhla awangena ngawo uNowa emkhombeni. (Mat. 24: 37-38)

Oku kulalanisa nomoya wehlabathi, umoya we umchasi kristu, yinto uSt Paul abhekisa kuyo njengo “wexuko”, imvukelo enkulu xa abaninzi beya kuphambuka elukholweni. Kungoko kufundo lwesibini lwanamhlanje, uSt.Paul ugalela intwana yamanzi abandayo entlokweni yethu, esikhumbuza ukuba "imini isondele" kwaye masiziphathe, hayi ngokuzonwabisa, inkanuko, okanye ukwahlukana, kodwa "siphile njengabantwana ukukhanya. ” ^[2]cf. Efe 5:8 Umyalezo ucacile: ukuba awufuni kubanjwa ungalindelanga njengesela ebusuku, njengokuba babenjalo ngemihla kaNowa, ngoko…

… Yambathani iNkosi uYesu Krestu, kwaye ningenzi malungiselelo ngeminqweno yenyama. (Roma 13:14)

Ngamanye amagama, musa ukulalanisa. Sonke kufuneka sizibuze le Advent, ndithetha-thethana njani noko uPopu Francis akubiza ngokuba "ngumoya wobuzwe"?

… Ukuthanda ihlabathi yingcambu yobubi kwaye kungasikhokelela ekubeni sizilahle izithethe zethu kwaye sithethathethane ngokunyaniseka kwethu kuThixo osoloko ethembekile. Oku kubizwa ngokuba kukuwexuka, okuthi… luhlobo “lokukrexeza” olwenzekayo xa sithetha-thethana ngobume bobuntu bethu: ukunyaniseka eNkosini. —UPOPA UFRANCIS ovela kwikhaya, I-Vatican Radio, nge-18 kaNovemba ka-2013

Kulula ukulalanisa namhlanje, akunjalo? Kweminye, kunokuba kunqakraza kula makhonkco anqwenelekayo kwisikhangeli sakho sewebhu; kwabanye, kukubeka umthandazo kunye nemisebenzi ekubukeni umabonakude… emva koko babukele okanye bafunde iincwadi umntu angafanelekanga ukuba azenze; okanye kukuyekelela iinwele zomntu emsebenzini ngehlazo elinombala ongahlambulukanga okanye ngolwimi olungcolileyo ukuze nje "ulingane" nesihlwele ... into elula ukuyenza. Abo bahlala kwi-quo yangoku abaphangi iintsiba zakhe nabani na. Kodwa manditsho oku: abo ngomhla kaNowa ababephila “kwimeko ekhoyo” bazifumana bekhwela inja emanzini esikhukula.

Ubungozi obukhulu kwihlabathi lanamhlanje, obugcwele kukusetyenziswa kwezinto zabathengi, kukuphanziswa kunye noxinzelelo oluzelwe yintliziyo engakhathaliyo kodwa enenkanuko, ukufuna usukelo lweziyolo ezingenamsebenzi, kunye nesazela esonakeleyo. Nanini na xa ubomi bethu bangaphakathi buye babanjiswa yiminqweno kunye neenkxalabo zabo, akusekho ndawo yabanye, akukho ndawo yamahlwempu. Ilizwi likaThixo aliphindi livakale, uvuyo oluzolileyo lothando lwakhe alusavakali, nomnqweno wokwenza okulungileyo uyaphela. -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, Inkuthazo yabaPostile, n. 2

Kodwa akunakuphela ukuba ungene emkhombeni wenceba kaThixo! Logama nje unomphefumlo kwimiphunga yakho, thandaza ngokulula:

“Nkosi, ndiye ndaziqhatha; Ngeendlela eziliwaka ndiyekile uthando lwakho, kodwa ndilapha kwakhona, ukuze ndihlaziye umnqophiso wam nawe. Ndiyakudinga. Ndisindise kwakhona, Nkosi, ndiphinde ndise ekufakeni kwakho. ” —Ibhid. n. 3

Namhlanje, masiphakamise imithandazo yethu kwabo bangakwaziyo ukuqonda Isaqhwithi esikhulu esele ligubungele ngoku ilizwe lethu, amafu alo ethwele izivunguvungu zentlungu kunye nomgwebo. ^[3]cf. AmaTywina aSixhenxe oHlaziyo Bakwathwala imvula yothando lukaThixo kunye nenceba, yiyo loo nto kunye noMdumisi singathandaza, “Uxolo malube ngaphakathi kwakho! Ngenxa yendlu kaYehova, Thixo wethu, ndiya kuthandaza kulunge kuwe.

Usilindile, uyasithanda, uyasixolela. Masithandazeleni ukuba ukuthembeka kwakhe kusisindise kumoya wehlabathi othetha-thethana nazo zonke. Masithandaze ukuba asikhusele kwaye asivumele ukuba siye phambili, esikhokele ngesandla, njengotata nomntwana wakhe. Ukubamba isandla seNkosi siza kukhuseleka. —UPOPA UFRANCIS ovela kwikhaya, I-Vatican Radio, nge-18 kaNovemba ka-2013
