UMichael Michael iNgelosi enkulu ngu-Michael D. O'Brien
AS siza kubona kwaye siqonde ngcono ububanzi becebo lotshaba, Inkohliso enkulu, akufuneki sityhafiswe, kuba icebo lakhe liya kuthi hayi phumelela. UThixo utyhila i-Masterplan enkulu kakhulu-uloyiso esele luzuziwe nguKristu xa singena kwixesha leMfazwe yokugqibela. Kwakhona, makhe ndijike kwibinzana ukusuka Ithemba liyasa:
Xa uYesu efika, okuninzi kuza kuza ekukhanyeni, kwaye ubumnyama buya kuchithakala.
UMNXEBA WETHEMBA
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba sisecicini lokufezekiswa kwesiTyhilelo 12. Asingomyalezo wentlekele, kodwa ngumyalezo wethemba elikhulu kunye nokukhanya. Yi umbundu wethemba.
Yavulwa itempile kaThixo ezulwini, kwaza kwabonakala ityeya yomnqophiso wakhe etempileni. Kubekho imibane, iindudumo, neendudumo, inyikima, nesichotho esinamandla. (ISityhi. 11:19)
Kwiminyaka emininzi, uMama kaThixo, iTyeya yomnqophiso wakhe, ebethetha neli hlabathi ngeendlela ezahlukileyo, ukuqokelela abantwana kukhuseleko nakwisiphephelo sentliziyo yakhe engafezekanga. Kwangelo xesha linye sibone udushe olukhulu eluntwini, kwindalo, naseCaweni, kodwa ingakumbi usapho.
Njengokuba u-11: 19 no-12: 1 weSityhilelo bohlulwe ngesihloko esithi "Isahluko", umntu unokucinga ngale nto njengo ngokomoya umbundu. Lo mfazi wambethe ilanga uyasebenza ukuba abeleke kwakhona kuNyana wakhe. Kwaye Uyeza, ngeli xesha, njengokuKhanya kweNyaniso.
Kwabonakala umqondiso omkhulu esibhakabhakeni, umfazi bambethe ilanga, kunye nenyanga phantsi kweenyawo zakhe, kwaye entloko kuye isithsaba seenkwenkwezi ezilishumi elinambini. SWayekhulelwe kwaye wadanduluka ngenxa yeentlungu njengoko wayesebenza nzima ukuba abeleke. (ISityhi. 12: 1)
Umkhweli wehashe elimhlophe Uza kuza njengedangatye lothando lokukhanyisa iintliziyo zoluntu kwinto eya kuba yinto engazange ibonwe kwindalo yakhe yokwenene-Inceba nokulunga uqobo. Olu thando luya kwenza ukuba yonke indoda, umfazi kunye nomntwana bazibone ekukhanyeni kweNyaniso, ikhupha iidemon ubumnyama kwiintliziyo ezininzi, ezininzi…
UMICHAEL NEDROKHONI
Kwabakho ke imfazwe emazulwini; UMikayeli neengelosi zakhe balwa idabi nenamba. Inamba nezithunywa zayo zalwa, kodwa aziphumelelanga kwaye azisenandawo ezulwini. Inamba enkulu, inyoka yakudala, leyo kuthiwa nguMtyholi, uSathana ke, lowo ulilahlekisayo elimiweyo liphela; yaphoswa emhlabeni, nezithunywa zayo zaphoswa kunye nayo. (v. 7-9)
Igama "izulu" alibhekiseli eZulwini, apho ahlala khona uKristu nabangcwele baKhe (Qaphela: eyona ngcaciso ifanelekileyo yesi sicatshulwa hayi ingxelo yokuwa kwantlandlolo kunye nemvukelo kaSathana, njengoko imeko icacile malunga neminyaka yabo "banikela ubungqina ngoYesu" [cf. ISityhi 12:17)). Endaweni yoko, "izulu" apha libhekisa kummandla wokomoya onxulumene nomhlaba, isibhakabhaka okanye izulu (cf. IGen 1: 1):
Umzabalazo wethu awuphumi nenyama negazi, kodwa ngowamagunya, naloo magunya, nabo balawuli balo bumnyama, nabo oomoya abakhohlakeleyo. emazulwini. (Efese 6:12)
Ukukhanya kwenza ntoni xa kusiza? Isasaza ubumnyama. U-Yesu uza kuza neengelosi zakhe zikhokelwa ngu-St. Michael the Archangel. Baza kukhupha uSathana. Iziyobisi ziya kwaphulwa. Izifo ziya kunyangwa. Abagulayo baya kuphila. Abo bacinezelweyo baya kuxhuma ngovuyo. Iimfama ziya kubona. Izithulu ziya kuva. Amabanjwa aza kukhululwa. Kwaye kuya kubakho isikhalo esikhulu:
Ngoku kuza usindiso namandla, nobukumkani boThixo wethu negunya loMthanjiswa wakhe. Kuba ukhutshiwe ummangaleli wabazalwana bethu, lowo ubamangalelayo emehlweni kaThixo wethu imini nobusuku.
Siwela umda siye kwixesha elinamandla lokuphilisa noxolelwaniso!
Ngenxa yoko yibani nemihlali, nina mazulu, nani ninomnquba kuwo. Kodwa yeha, wena mhlaba nalwandle, kuba uMtyholi uhlile weza kuwe enomsindo omkhulu, kuba uyazi ukuba ixesha analo lifutshane. (indima 12)
Njengoko ndibhalile kwenye indawo, eli "xesha lifutshane" iya kuba yimizamo yokugqibela kaMtyholi yokukhohlisa ngemiqondiso nezimanga zobuxoki-i Ukusefa kokugqibela wengqolowa emquleni. Kulapho intsalela idlala khona indima ebalulekileyo endiza kuxoxa ngayo komnye umbhalo.
ELI XESHA LOBABALO
Nali inqaku esingafanele siliphose: ngomthandazo wethu nokuthethelela, inani labo banokukhohliswa linokuncitshiswa. Ngoku, kunanini na ngaphambili, kufuneka sikuqonde ukubaluleka kweli xesha lobabalo! Yabona, kananjalo, kutheni uPopu Leo XIII ephefumlelwe ukuba enze umthandazo kuSt. Michael ukuba afundwe emva kweMisa nganye.
Ukulungela kwethu ukungqina ngobomi bethu yonke imihla yile nto sele icelwe nguYesu kuthi kwiminyaka engama-2000 eyadlulayo, kwaye umthandazo, isohlwayo, ukuguquka, nokuzila ukutya kusinceda ukuba sisetyenziswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Ngeli xesha kwi IBastion ayikoku “linda” ukuba kudlule isaqhwithi. Endaweni yoko, kukulungiselela kunye nokumamela kumlo omangalisayo wemiphefumlo osele ukho kwaye uzayo… ukuqokelelwa kokugqibela kwabantwana bakaThixo kwiTyeya, ngaphambi kokuba luvalwe ucango.
