IT inokuba yinto eyoyikisayo ukuziva ukholo lwakho kuKristu luyehla. Mhlawumbi ungomnye wabo bantu.
Ubusoloko ukholelwa, ubusoloko uvakalelwa kukuba ukholo lwakho lobuKristu lubalulekile… kodwa ngoku, awuqinisekanga kangako. Uthandaze kuThixo ndicela uncedo, isiqabu, impiliso, uphawu… kodwa kubonakala ngathi akukho mntu umameleyo kwelinye icala lomgca. Okanye uye wafumana ukuguqulwa ngequbuliso; Ubucinga ukuba uThixo wayevula iingcango, ukuba uyiqonde ngokuchanekileyo intando yaKhe, kwaye ngequbuliso, amacebo akho ayawa. "Yaye iyintoni ukuba yonke into?” uyazibuza. Ngequbuliso, yonke into ivakala ngokungacwangciswanga…. Okanye mhlawumbi intlekele yequbuliso, isigulo esibuhlungu nesibuhlungu, okanye omnye umnqamlezo onganyamezelekiyo uye wavela ngequbuliso ebomini bakho, yaye uyazibuza ukuba uThixo onothando ebenokukuvumela njani oku? Okanye uvumele indlala, ingcinezelo, nokuxhatshazwa kwabantwana okuqhubekayo rhoqo ngomzuzwana wemihla ngemihla? Okanye mhlawumbi, njengoSt. Thérèse de Lisieux, uye wadibana nesilingo sokulungisa yonke into kude-ukuba imimangaliso, ukuphilisa, kunye noThixo ngokwaKhe ayiyonto ngaphandle kolwakhiwo lwengqondo yomntu, uqikelelo lwengqondo, okanye ukucinga okunqwenelekayo kwababuthathaka.
Ukuba ubusazi ukuba zeziphi iingcinga ezoyikisayo endikhathazayo. Ndithandazele kakhulu ukuze ndingamphulaphuli uMtyholi ofuna ukundeyisela kubuxoki obuninzi. Kukuqiqa kwezona zinto zimbi zibekwe engqondweni yam. Emva kwexesha, ngokungayeki ukwenza inkqubela phambili entsha, isayensi iya kuyicacisa yonke into ngokwendalo. Siza kuba nesona sizathu sayo yonke into esele ikho kwaye iseyingxaki, kuba kusenezinto ezininzi kakhulu ezinokufunyanwa, njlnjl. -USt Therese weLisieux: Incoko yakhe yokugqibela, Mnu. UJohn Clarke, ocatshulwe ku zinzix.com
Kwaye ngenxa yoko, kukho amathandabuzo: ukholo lobuKatolika aluyonto ngaphandle kwenkqubo ekrelekrele yemvelaphi yomntu, eyilelwe ukucinezela nokulawula, ukukhohlisa nokunyanzela. Ngaphezu koko, amahlazo obubingeleli, ubugwala babefundisi, okanye izono zabantu “abathembekileyo” abonakala ebubungqina obungakumbi bokuba iVangeli kaYesu, nangona ithandeka ngolo hlobo, ayinakukwazi ukuyiguqula.
Ngaphezu koko, awukwazi ukuvula unomathotholo, iTV, okanye ikhompyuter namhlanje ngaphandle kweendaba okanye ukuzonwabisa okusebenzayo ngokungathi yonke into owakhe wayifundiswa eCaweni ngomtshato, isini, kunye nobomi ngokwabo buphumile ngokupheleleyo ekuchukunyisweni ukuba ube nesini esahlukileyo, pro. -ubomi, okanye ukukholelwa kumtshato wesintu kufana nokuba yinto enganyamezelekiyo neyingozi. Kwaye ngoko uyazibuza ... mhlawumbi iCawe iphosakele? Mhlawumbi, mhlawumbi, abangakholelwayo kuThixo banengongoma.
Ndicinga ukuba umntu unokubhala incwadi ekuphenduleni zonke ezi nkxalabo, izichaso kunye neengxabano. Kodwa namhlanje, ndiza kuyigcina ilula. Impendulo kaThixo ithi Umnqamlezo: “UKristu ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni, isikhubekiso kumaYuda nobubudenge kwiintlanga.” [1]I-1 Cor 1: 23 Kuphi apho uYesu awakha wathi ukukholwa kuye kuthetha ukuba awusayi kuphinda ubandezeleke, ungaze ungcatshwe, ungaze ungcungcuthekiswe, ungaze uphoxeke, ungaze ugule, ungathandabuzi, ungaze udinwe okanye ukhubeke? Impendulo ikwiSityhilelo:
Azisule uThixo zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo, kungabi sabakho kufa, kungabi sabakho nasijwili, nakukhala, nantlungu; ( ISityhilelo 21:4 )
Ilungile lo nto. Kwi kanaphakade. Kodwa kweli cala leZulu, ubomi bukaYesu emhlabeni butyhila ukuba ukubandezeleka, intshutshiso, kunye nemvakalelo yokulahlwa ngamanye amaxesha yinxalenye yohambo:
Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabhaktani?…Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undishiyeleni na? ( Marko 15:34 )
Ngokuqinisekileyo, amaKristu okuqala ayekuqonda oku.
Baqinisa imimoya yabafundi kwaye babakhuthaza ukuba bazingise elukholweni, besithi, "Kuyimfuneko ngathi ukuba sityhubele ubunzima obuninzi ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo." (IZenzo 14:22)
Kutheni kunjalo? Impendulo kukuba abantu bazizidalwa, kwaye basaqhubeka bezizo okufunwa nguwe. Ukuba sinenkululeko yokuzikhethela, ngoko ke ithuba lokumgatya uThixo lisekho. Yaye ekubeni abantu beqhubeka besebenzisa esi sipho sibalaseleyo yaye besenza izinto ezichaseneyo nothando, ukubandezeleka kusaqhubeka. Abantu basaqhubeka bengcolisa indalo. Abantu basaqhubeka beqalisa iimfazwe. Abantu basaqhubeka benqwenela nokuba. Abantu bayaqhubeka nokusebenzisa kakubi. Ngelishwa, namaKristu.
Ndiyazi ukuba emva kokumka kwam iingcuka eziqwengayo ziya kuza phakathi kwenu, zingawucongi umhlambi. (IZenzo 20:29)
Kodwa ke, uYesu akazange asinde nabakhe. Emva kwako konke oko wakubonayo uYudas—imfundiso engaqhelekanga, ukuphiliswa, ukuvuka kwabafileyo—wathengisa ngomphefumlo wakhe ngamaqhosha esilivere angamashumi amathathu. Ndithi kuni, amaKristu athengisa ngemiphefumlo yawo ngexabiso elincinane kakhulu namhlanje!
Kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje, oNgcwele uPawulos uthetha ngokholo luka-Abraham owathi “Wakholwa, engathembekanga, ukuba uya kuba nguyise weentlanga ezininzi. Xa ndijonga i-horizon kwiminyaka engama-2000 edlulileyo, ndibona izinto ezininzi endingenako ukuzichaza ngokobuntu. Njani, hayi kuphela abapostile abaseleyo, kodwa izigidi emva kwabo babulawelwa ukholo lwabo nge nto ukuzuza kwizinto zasemhlabeni. Iyandimangalisa indlela uBukhosi baseRoma, nesizwe ngesizwe emva koko, obathi baguqulwa ngayo liLizwi likaThixo nobungqina baba bafeli-nkolo. Hayi indlela awaguquka ngayo ngequbuliso awona madoda awonakeleyo nawona akhohlakeleyo, iindlela zawo zehlabathi zalahlwa, baza nobutyebi bawo bathengiswa okanye basasazwa kumahlwempu “ngenxa kaKristu.” Njani kwi "igama likaYesu"—hayi ekaMohammad, ekaBuddha, ekaJoseph Smith, ekaRon Hubbard, ekaLenin, ekaHitler, ekaObama okanye ekaDonald Trump—amathumba aye aguquka abe ngumphunga, abakhotyokisiweyo bakhululwe, iziqhwala zahamba, iimfama zibonile, nabafileyo baye bavuswa—yaye bayaqhubeka Yiba kude kube ngoku. Kwaye njani ebomini bam, xa ndijongene nokuphelelwa lithemba, ukuphelelwa lithemba, kunye nobumnyama... ngequbuliso, ngendlela engaqondakaliyo, imitha yokuKhanya okuNgcwele nothando endingenako ukuziveza ngokwam, iye yahlaba intliziyo yam, yawavuselela amandla am, kwaye yade yawavumela ukuba aphile. Ndinyuke ngamaphiko okhozi, kuba ndabambelela kukholo lwemostade kunokuba ndijike.
KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, ithi, “UMoya wenyaniso uya kundingqinela, itsho iNkosi, nani ke niyangqina. Ndize kubona into kumaxesha ethu ephazamisa umphefumlo wam, ukanti, indinika uxolo olungaqhelekanga, kwaye oku: UYesu akazange athi wonke umntu uya kukholwa kuye. Siyazi, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukuba unika wonke umntu ithuba lokumamkela okanye lokumala ngeendlela ezaziwa nguye kuphela. Kwaye uthi,
Ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu othe wandivuma phambi kwabantu, uNyana woMntu, wothi avume phambi kwezithunywa zikaThixo. Ondikhanyeleyo ke wokhanyelwa emehlweni ezithunywa zikaThixo. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)
Umntu ongakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo uye wandixelela mvanje ukuba ndandisoyika ukuyivuma inyaniso. Ndancuma, njengoko wayezama ukubonisa amava akhe obuqu kunye noloyiko kum. Hayi, into endiyoyikayo kukuba ndisisidenge, ndibe nenkani, ndizicingele kwaye ndingabikho nto, ndide ndiwakhanyele amava am obuqu ngoYesu Kristu, owathi wabonakalisa ubukho bakhe ngeendlela ezininzi; ukukhanyela ubungqina obubambekayo bamandla akhe asebenzayo kwiinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabini ananye; ukukhanyela amandla eLizwi laKhe nenyaniso eye yakhulula inyambalala yemiphefumlo; ukukhanyela imifanekiso ephilileyo yeVangeli, abo baNgcwele athe uYesu wazenza wabakho ngabo ngamandla, ngezenzo nangamazwi; ukukhanyela iziko, iBandla lamaKatolika, eliye lanamaYuda, amasela, nabangcatshi kwisizukulwana ngasinye, ukanti, sekunjalo, ngandlel’ ithile, iyalela ukuhlonelwa kookumkani, abongameli, neenkulumbuso ngelixa isasaza iimfundiso zayo ezineminyaka engama-2000 zingaguquki. Ngaphezu koko, ndibone ngokwaneleyo oko bakuzisa etafileni abo bathanda izinto eziphathekayo, abaqiqayo, nabanye “abakhanyiselweyo,” kangangokuba bawangqine ngokuphindaphindiweyo amazwi kaKristu: wowazi umthi ngeziqhamo zawo.
… Abayamkeli "iVangeli yoBomi" kodwa bayazivumela ukuba bakhokelwe ziingcinga kunye neendlela zokucinga ezivimba ubomi, ezingabuhloniphiyo ubomi, kuba ziyalelwa kukuzingca, ukuzithanda, inzuzo, amandla kunye nolonwabo, not ngothando, ngokuxhalabela ukulungelwa kwabanye. Liphupha lanaphakade lokufuna ukwakha isixeko somntu ngaphandle koThixo, ngaphandle kobomi nothando lukaThixo-iNqaba entsha yaseBhabheli… uThixo ophilayo uthathelwa indawo zizithixo zabantu ezidlulayo ezinikezela ukunxila kukukhanya kwenkululeko, kodwa Isiphelo sizisa iindlela ezintsha zobukhoboka kunye nokufa. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Homily kwi Ubuninzi beVangelium Vitae, KwiSixeko saseVatican, nge-16 kaJuni, 2013; Mkhulu, NgoJanuwari 2015, iphe. 311
Ewe, njengoko ihlabathi namhlanje lilahla ngokukhawuleza "iintambo zobuKatolika", ngokucacileyo, sibona amakhamandela amatsha kwiindlela zobuchwepheshe, iinkqubo zezoqoqosho ezicinezelayo, kunye nemithetho engafanelekanga eqinisayo kunye nokuqiniswa kunye nokuqiniswa koluntu. Ngoko, bazalwana, ngubani na oya kuba kukukhanya kobu bumnyama bangoku? Ngoobani abaya kuma nkqi baze bathi, “UYesu uyaphila! Uyaphila! ILizwi lakhe liyinyaniso!”? Ngoobani abaya kuba ngabafeli-nkolo “abamhlophe” “nababomvu” abaya kuthi, xa olu cwangco lwangoku luwa, babe ngabo igazi labo liya kuba yimbewu yentwasahlobo entsha?
UThixo akazange asithembise ubomi obulula, kodwa ufefe. Masiluthandazele ke ubabalo olu, ukuba sibe nethemba phezu kwawo onke amathemba. Ukuthembeka.
… Imikhosi emininzi izamile, kwaye isenza njalo, ukutshabalalisa iBandla, ngaphandle nangaphakathi, kodwa bona ngokwabo bayatshatyalaliswa kwaye iBandla lihlala liphila kwaye linesiqhamo… lihlala liqinile ngokungaqondakaliyo… Izikumkani, abantu, iinkcubeko, izizwe, iingcinga, amagunya sele edlulile, kodwa iBandla, elisekwe kuKrestu, ngaphandle kwezaqhwithi ezininzi kunye nezono zethu ezininzi, lihlala lithembekile kwidiphozithi yokholo eboniswe kwinkonzo; kuba iCawa ayingoopopu, oobhishophu, abefundisi, kunye nabantu abathembekileyo; ICawe ngawo wonke umzuzu yekaKristu kuphela.—UPOPA UFRANCIS, Homily, nge-29 kaJuni, 2015; www., ehamb; yay
