PHA yintetho eninzi phakathi "kwentsalela" ye zokufihla neendawo ezikhuselekileyo -indawo apho uThixo aya kubakhusela khona abantu baKhe ngexesha lentshutshiso. Ingcamango enjalo isekelwe ngokuqinileyo kwiZibhalo nakwiNkcubeko eNgcwele. Ndathetha ngalo mbandela kwi Indawo zokubalekela ezizayo kunye neziqithi, kwaye njengokuba ndiyiphinda namhlanje, iyandibetha njengesiprofeto kwaye kufanelekile kunangaphambili. Ewe, kukho amaxesha okufihla. UJoseph, uMary kunye noKristu umntwana babalekela eYiphutha ngelixa uHerode ebazingela; ^[1]cf. UMateyu 2; 13 UYesu wazimela kwiinkokeli zamaJuda ezazifuna ukumxuluba ngamatye; ^[2]cf. Yoh 8:59 kwaye uSt. Paul wayefihliwe kubatshutshisi bakhe ngabafundi bakhe, abathi bamhlisa ngenkululeko ngengobozi ngokuvulwa kodonga lwesixeko. ^[3]cf. KwiZenzo 9:25

Kodwa eli asiloxesha lokufihla ukukhanya kwethu ngaphantsi kwebhaskithi! ^[4]cf. Luk 11:33 Njengoko ihlabathi lisihla kwintsunguzi yobumnyama, lixesha lokuba amaKristu aqaqambe njengeenkwenkwezi ^[5]cf. Fil 2: 15 kwaye, njengoko uPopu Francis etshilo mva nje, “Vusa ihlabathi!” ^[6]www.zenit.org

Isiporho sokulwa ngokuchaseneyo ngumfanekiso wobomi benkolo oqondwa njengendawo yokubalekela okanye indawo yokuzimela ejongene nelizwe elinzima nelintsonkothileyo 'langaphandle'. —UPOPE FRANCIS, Incoko noManyano lwaBaphathi Jikelele baMadoda, ngoNovemba 29, 2013; nbcnews.com, Jan. 3, 2014

Siyazi ukuba umoya womchasi-Kristu athetha ngawo uYohane oNgcwele kwisifundo sokuqala ngokwenene “apha, ehlabathini.” Loo moya, obugatyayo ubuThixo bukaKristu, uye wafumana ilizwi kubantu abaninzi “abaprofeti bobuxoki,” ^[7]cf. UNogumbe Wabaprofeti Bobuxoki Inxalenye I kwaye Icandelo II mhlawumbi ngendlela engazange ibekho elinye ixesha kwimbali yeBandla. Ngenxa yoko, sibona "ukususwa kwesithinteli," ^[8]cf. Ukususa isithintelo ukuchas’ umthetho okungathotywanga okusasazeka kulo lonke ihlabathi. Kwaye ke, siyaphazamiseka. Sifuna ukubaleka sizifihle kuyo yonke loo nto. Kodwa iSt. John iyasikhumbuza:

Bantwana, senibabeyisile aba baprofeti ababuxoki, ngokuba ningabakaThixo, ninoyena mkhulu kunabo bonke abantu beli hlabathi.

Siziindlalifa kunye noKristu ^[9]cf. Roma 8: 17 ngenxa yokwamkelwa kwethu ngobhaptizo. Ngoko ke nakuthi, iNdumiso iyasebenza: “Buza ndikunikele iintlanga.” Izizwe lilifa lethu-hayi imihlaba, amachibi kunye nemida, ngomntu ngamnye, kodwa zizwana yezizwe. Sinikwe umsebenzi omkhulu, obekekileyo nonelisayo wokwenza “abafundi beentlanga zonke.” ^[10]cf. Mat 28:19 Ngaloo ndlela, sinokuphethukela kwiVangeli yanamhlanje size sibone indlela esifanele sisabele ngayo kula maxesha ngomzekelo kaYesu, kwaye ube oyinyaniso abaprofeti ngobungqina bethu.

UYohane uMbhaptizi wayesandul’ ukubanjwa—kwakukho ingozi emoyeni. Kodwa kunokuba azifihle, uYesu waqalisa ukushumayela ngesigidimi esithi, Guqukani, kuba ubukumkani bamazulu busondele.” Waqalisa ukushumayela kanye isigidimi esasibanjwe nguYohane umBhaptizi ekuqaleni! ^[11]cf. UMk 1:4 Hayi, akazange abaleke. Kunoko, uYesu waqala ukuhambahamba phakathi kwababandezelekileyo, abagulayo, nabaphethwe kakubi.wabaphilisa.

UYesu ufuna sichukumise ukubandezeleka kwabantu, sichukumise inyama ebandezelekileyo yabanye. Unethemba lokuba siya kuyeka ukukhangela ezo ndawo zobuqu okanye zoluntu ezisikhuselayo kwintlupheko yelishwa lomntu kwaye endaweni yoko singene kubunyani bobomi babanye abantu kwaye siwazi amandla obubele. -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-270

Kulula kakhulu ukuhlala kwezo ndawo zitofotofo ezinokunika umntu ngobuxoki ingcamango yokuba eneneni wenzela uBukumkani okuthile: ukuya kwiMisa yemihla ngemihla, ^[12]Kambe ke, ukuya kwiMisa yemihla ngemihla nokuzibandakanya kwiDini likaYesu kusisithethe esinamandla ehlabathini. Kodwa singaya kwiMisa, kwaye singaze sijonge umzalwana wethu emehlweni kwisihlalo esisecaleni kwethu…. ukuya eminqubeni, ukutsiba ukusuka kwikomfa ukuya kwikomfa, umhlangano womthandazo ukuya kwiintlanganiso… ngalo lonke elo xesha ukhuselwe kwabo bakudinga ngokwenene ukukhanya kweVangeli. Ewe, sifuna uluntu-kwaye ndiza kubhala ngakumbi malunga noku. Kodwa uluntu ayisosiphelo, kodwa yindlela yokuzisa abanye kuYesu, kwaye enyanisweni, kungena uluntu ngokwalo. Amaxesha amaninzi, iGumbi eliPhezulu liyaphoswa njengendawo yokusabela endaweni yokuba libe yindawo yokufukama ukuba lisihlaziye kwaye lisizalise ngoMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze sibe kukukhanya kokwenyani kwindawo yentengiso.

Asiphili ngcono xa sibaleka, sifihla, sisala ukwabelana, siyeke ukupha kwaye sizivalele kwizinto ezithuthuzelayo. Ubomi obunjalo abuyonto ingaphantsi kokuzibulala kancinci. -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-272

UYohane oNgcwele usixelela indlela yokwahlula phakathi koomoya bakaThixo nabo baphila ngomoya womchasi-Kristu.

... wonke umoya ovumayo ukuba uYesu Kristu weza esenyameni, uphuma kuThixo.

Kodwa naye umtyholi uyakuvuma oku, kanti akangowakwaThixo. Into ethethwa nguYohane oNgcwele ke yeyokuba, ukuba siyakholwa kuYesu, siya kwenza le nto ayithethayo: “thandanani njengoko wasiyalelayo.” Oku kuthetha ukungabufihli ubomi bethu bokholo, kodwa incarnating iVangeli, eyinika inyama ukuze abanye “bangcamle baze babone ukulunga kweNkosi.” ^[13]cf. Nd 34: 8 Kuthetha ukubaleka kunye nabanye; ukuhamba nabo; ubunzima kunye nabo; ukulila nabalilayo; ehleka nabahlekayo; bebubuso bukaKristu abangazange babubone ngaphambili. Kuthetha ukuchukumisa inyama yabo ebandezelekileyo ngobukho bethu, inkxalabo, kunye nobutyebi bokomoya nezinto eziphathekayo. Kuthetha ukushiya iindawo zethu zokuthuthuzela kwaye sibeke emngciphekweni ukwaliwa… kodwa kunye nokuzuza imimangaliso engasoze yenzeke ngaphandle kuka “ewe” wethu kuThixo.

... wonke umntu ufanelekile ukuba simnike…. Ngenxa yoko, ukuba ndinokunceda umntu abe mnye ukuba abe nobomi obungcono, oko sele kuthethelela ukunikela ngobomi bam. Kuyinto emangalisayo ukuba ngabantu bakaThixo abathembekileyo. Sifezekisa ukuzaliseka xa sidiliza iindonga kwaye iintliziyo zethu zizaliswe bubuso kunye namagama! -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-274

ICawa ibizelwa “kwinqanaba elitsha lovangelo.” ^[14]cf. IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-287 Kulapho kufuneka ashiye ngasemva ubutofotofo bakhe—azishiye ngasemva—aze ancame ubomi bakhe ngenxa yommelwane wakhe ngeendlela ezisebenzisekayo, ezibambekayo, neziphilileyo. Kungenxa yokuba kuphela ngabangcwele abanjalo, amadoda nabafazi abangcwele abanjalo abahamba phakathi kwethu, abanokuthi ngokunokwenzeka babe yimbewu ‘yehlabathi elitsha. ^[15]cf. U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-269

Ngaphambi kokuba silwe nomoya womchasi-Kristu, kufuneka siqale silwe nomoya wentuthuzelo.

Ubungqina obunokutsalela ngokwenene lobo bunxulunyaniswa nezimo zengqondo ezingaqhelekanga: isisa, ukubaleka, ukuzincama, ukuzilibala ukuze ukhathalele abanye… ICawe kufuneka ibe nomtsalane. Vuka ilizwe! Yiba ngamangqina endlela eyahlukileyo yokwenza izinto, yokwenza, yokuphila! —UPOPE FRANCIS, Incoko noManyano lwaBaphathi Jikelele baMadoda, ngoNovemba 29, 2013; ZENIT.org, Jan. 3, 2014
