ULWESIHLANU OLUNGILEYO
Ukubandezeleka kukaKristuNguMichael D. O'Brien
UKristu ulibamba lonke ihlabathi, kodwa iintliziyo ziye zagodola, ukholo lwasuswa, ubundlobongela buyanda. I-cosmos reels, umhlaba ubumnyama. Iindawo ezisemafama, intlango, kunye nezixeko zomntu azisahloniphi iGazi leMvana. UYesu ulilela umhlaba. Luya kuvuka njani uluntu? Kuya kuthatha ntoni ukuphazamisa ukungakhathali kwethu? —Gqabaza loMculi
THE Isiseko sayo yonke le mibhalo isekwe kwimfundiso yeCawe yokuba uMzimba kaKristu uyakulandela iNkosi yawo, iNtloko, ngenkanuko eyeyayo.
Phambi kokuza kwesibini kukaKrestu, iBandla kufuneka lidlule kwityala lokugqibela eliya kushukumisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaninzi… ICawe iyakungena ebuqaqawulini bobukumkani kuphela ngale Pasika yokugqibela, xa iyakulandela iNkosi yayo ekufeni nasekuVukeni kwayo. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-672, 677
Ke ngoko, ndifuna ukubeka emxholweni imibhalo yam yakutshanje kwi-Eucharist.
UMZEKELO KATHIXO
Kuza umzuzu apho kuya kubakho ukutyhilwa kukaKristu ngoukukhanya kwesazela”Endikuthelekise noKwenziwa kumila kumbi kukaKristu (yabona Ukuza kumila kumbi). Eli iya kuba lixesha apho uYesu azakubonakalisa njenge ukukhanya ngaphakathi kweentliziyo zabantu, ityhila kwabakhulu nabancinci ngokufanayo imo yomphefumlo wabo ngokungathi lixesha loMgwebo. Kuya kuba ngumzuzu othelekiswa xa uPetros, uYakobi, noYohane bawa ngobuso eMt. Tabor njengoko babona iNyaniso ityhilwe kubo ngokukhanya okuqaqambileyo.
Esi siganeko salandelwa kukungena okuphumeleleyo kukaKristu eYerusalem xa abantu abaninzi babemazi njengoMesiya. Mhlawumbi singacinga ngexesha eliphakathi koKwenziwa kuMila Kumbi kunye nolo longeno lwoloyiso njengoko ixesha lezazela livuswa eliza kuthi ekugqibeleni lifikelele esiphelweni xa kuKhanya. Kuya kubakho ixesha elifutshane lokuhambisa ivangeli eliza kulandela uKukhanya xa abaninzi beya kwamkela uYesu njengeNkosi noMsindisi. Iya kuba lithuba labaninzi ukuba "babuyele ekhaya" njengonyana wolahleko, ukungena umnyango wenceba (jonga Ixesha Lolahleko).
Xa unyana wolahleko wabuyela ekhaya, utata wakhe wabhengeza itheko. Emva kokungena eYerusalem, uYesu waqalisa isidlo sangokuhlwa sokugqibela apho wamisela khona uMthendeleko oNgcwele. Njengoko ndibhalile Ukudibana ubuso ngobusoNdiyakholelwa ukuba abaninzi baya kuvukela kuKrestu, hayi njengoMsindisi woluntu kuphela, kodwa nakuBukho baKhe obubonakalayo phakathi kwethu kwi-Ekaristi:
Inyama yam ikukutya kokwenene, negazi lam sisiselo sokwenene… yabona, mna ndinani yonke imihla, kude kube sekuphelisweni kwephakade eli. (UYohane 6:55; Mat 28:20)
UKUFUNEKA KWEBANDLA
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba zonke ezi ziganeko ziya kuthi eyandulela Umnqweno we Jikelele or lonke Icawa, kanye njengokuba uKristu wavuka kwiSidlo esiNgcwele kunye nabafundi baKhe wangena ekuthandeni kwakhe. Ingenzeka njani le nto, usenokubuza, emva kobabalo loKhanyiso, iMimangaliso ye-Ekaristi, kwaye mhlawumbi a Uphawu olukhulu? Khumbula, abo babemnqula uYesu ekungeneni kwakhe eJerusalem kwithuba nje elingephi emva koko bakhalela ukubethelelwa kwakhe! Ndiyarhana ukuba utshintsho lwentliziyo lwaluyinxalenye kuba uKrestu akazange abhukuqe amaRoma. Endaweni yokuba aqhubeke nomsebenzi wakhe wokukhulula imiphefumlo esonweni, abe “ngumqondiso wokuchasana” ngokuwoyisa amandla kaSathana “ngobuthakathaka” nasoyisa isono ngokufa kwaKhe. UYesu akazange ahambisane nembono yabo yehlabathi. Ihlabathi liza kuyala kwakhona iBandla xa, emva kwexesha lobabalo, liqonda ukuba umyalezo usafana: guquka iyimfuneko elusindisweni…. kwaye abaninzi abasayi kufuna ukusishiya isono sabo. Umhlambi othembekileyo awuzukuhambelana nembono yelizwe.
Waza ke uYuda wangcatsha uKrestu, iSanhedrin yamnikela ekufeni, waza uPetros wamkhanyela. Ndibhalile malunga nokwahlukana okuzayo eBandleni kunye nexesha lentshutshiso (yabona Ukusasazeka okukhulu).

NINI?
Konke oku kuya kwenzeka kungekudala?
Bukela kwaye uthandaze.
Xa ubona ilifu liphuma ngasentshona utsho kwangoko ukuba iza kuna-kwaye iyenzeka; kwaye xa uqaphela ukuba umoya uvuthuza uvela emazantsi uthi uza kushushu-kwaye ke kunjalo. Bahanahanisindini! Niyakwazi ukutolika imbonakalo yomhlaba neyezulu; Kungani na ukuba ningalicaluli eli xesha langoku? (ULuka 12: 54-56)
