UYesu… Uyamkhumbula?

 

UYESU... Uyamkhumbula?

Ndiyaphoxisa, kunjalo-kodwa nje kancinci. Kuba kukangaphi sisiva oobhishophu bethu, abefundisi, namarhamente esikhonza nawo bethetha ngabo UYesu? Kukangaphi sisiva eneneni igama lakhe? Kukangaphi sikhunjuzwa ngenjongo yokuza kwaKhe, kwaye ngaloo ndlela, uthumo lweBandla liphela, kwaye kungoko sifuna siqu impendulo?

Uxolo, kodwa apha kwiHlabathi laseNtshona - hayi rhoqo.  

Ngokwengelosi yeNkosi, uthumo lukaKristu, kunye nolwethu, lwamiliselwa egameni laKhe:

Uya kuzala unyana ke, umbize ngegama elinguYesu; kuba yena eya kubasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo. (UMateyu 1:21)

UYesu akazange eze ukuze aqalise umbutho owawuza kumkhumbula ngezithethe ezimbejembeje, iicathedrals ezinkulu, nezithethe ezicocekileyo; ngokusebenzisa iminyhadala engaqhelekanga, izinto ezintle, kunye nokunqwala ngobume bemeko. Hayi, uYesu “wahlanganisa” “ibandla” (igama lesiGrike elithi “ἐκκλησία” okanye i-ecclesia lithetha “indibano”) ukuze ibe sisixhobo sosindiso nge ukushunyayelwa kweVangeli kunye nolawulo lwe iisakramente. Ubhaptizo sisenzo sokwenyani sehlabathi samanzi ampompoza evela kwicala likaKrestu; uMthendeleko kunye noVumo sisicelo sokwenyani seGazi likaKristu elisihlambululayo esonweni. UbuKristu, kwaye ngenxa yoko ubuKatolika, bumalunga nokusindisa abantu esonweni esitshabalalisa uxolo nomanyano kwaye lusahlukanise noThixo. Into yokuba sifuna ukumisa iicathedrals ezizukileyo, ukuluka izambatho zegolide, kwaye sibeke imigangatho yebhastile luphawu lothando lwethu lukaThixo kunye nokubonakaliswa kweMfihlakalo, ewe; kodwa azibalulekanga kwaye aziyomfuneko kumsebenzi wethu. 

Idini leMisa lanikelwa kuthi gcina amandla okusindisa kunye nobukho beDini lakhe emnqamlezweni ukwenzela usindiso lwehlabathi—kungekhona ukusenza sizive kamnandi ngathi ngokukhupha iyure yonke veki nganye size siwise iirandi ezimbalwa kwisitya senkongozelo. Siza eMthendelekweni, okanye sifanele, ukuze sive uKristu esithi “ewe” kuthi kwakhona (ngokubonakaliswa kwakhona kolo thando eMnqamlezweni) ukuze nathi, ngokulandelayo, sibe nokuthi “ewe” kuye. Ewe kwintoni? Kwisipho sesisa sobomi obungunaphakade ukholo kuye. Kwaye ke, "ewe" ekusasazeni "iiNdaba Ezilungileyo" zeso sipho kwihlabathi. 

Ewe, iCawe ayiqondwa namhlanje, ngokuyinxenye, ngenxa yezono namanyundululu abamba iintloko-ndaba. Kodwa mhlawumbi ngaphezu kwako konke ngenxa yokuba akasashumayeli ngoYesu Kristu!

Akukho bungqina bokwenene bokushumayela ukuba igama, imfundiso, ubomi, izithembiso, ubukumkani nemfihlakalo kaYesu waseNazarete, uNyana kaThixo, azichazwanga. —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandin. 22; IVatican.va 

Nditsho noPopu Francis, ongupopu wakhe uye wabandakanyeka kwiimpikiswano ezininzi, wathi ngokucacileyo:

… Isibhengezo sokuqala kufuneka sivakalise ngokuphindaphindiweyo: “UYesu Kristu uyakuthanda; Wanikela ngomphefumlo wakhe ukukusindisa; kwaye ngoku uhlala ecaleni kwakho yonke imihla ukuze akukhanyisele, omeleze kwaye akukhulule. ” -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-164

Kodwa siphulukene nebali. Siliqhekezile ibali lothando! Ngaba siyazi nokuba kutheni iCawe ikhona??

[ICawe] ikho ngenjongo yokuhambisa ivangeli… —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandi, n. I-14

AmaKatolika amaninzi awazi nokuba lithetha ukuthini igama elithi “ukushumayela”. Kwaye oobhishophu, abakwenzayo, bahlala besoyika ukuvumela abo babizelwe evangelini ukuba basebenzise izipho zabo. Ngaloo ndlela, iLizwi likaThixo lihlala lifihliwe, licinezelwe, ukuba alingcwatywa ngaphantsi kwengobozi. Ukukhanya kukaKristu akusabonwa ngokucacileyo… kwaye oku kuneziphumo ezibi kwihlabathi liphela. 

Kwimihla yethu, xa kwiindawo ezinkulu zehlabathi ukholo lusemngciphekweni wokufa njengelangatye elingasenayo ipetroli, eyona nto iphambili kukwenza uThixo abekhona kweli lizwe nokubonisa amadoda nabafazi indlela eya kuThixo. Ayingoothixo bonke, kodwa nguThixo owathetha ngeSinayi; kulowo Thixo ubuso bakhe sibubonayo kuthando olucinizela “kude kube sekupheleni” (cf. Jn 13: 1) - kuYesu Kristu, wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni wavuka. Ingxaki yokwenyani ngalo mzuzu wembali yethu kukuba uThixo uyanyamalala ebantwini, kwaye, ngokufiphala kokukhanya okuvela kuThixo, uluntu luphulukana nokuthwala, kunye neziphumo ezibonakala zonakalisayo. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa uBenedict XVI oya kubo bonke oBhishophu beHlabathi, NgoMatshi 12, 2009; IVatican.va

AmaKatolika amaninzi namhlanje acatshukiswa kukubhideka kweemfundiso okuxhaphakileyo; ukucaphuka ngamahlazo okuxhatshazwa kunye nokufihla; banomsindo wokuba uPope, bavakalelwa kukuba, akawenzi umsebenzi wakhe. Kulungile, zonke ezi zinto zibalulekile, ewe. Kodwa ngaba iyasicaphukisa into yokuba uYesu Kristu engashunyayelwa? Ngaba siyacatshukiswa kukuba imiphefumlo ayiyiva iVangeli? Ngaba siyacaphuka kuba abanye bengadibani noYesu ngaphakathi nangathi? Ngamafutshane, ngaba uyacaphuka kukuba uYesu akathandwa… okanye ucatshukiswa kukuba ukhuseleko obunalo kwibhokisi ecocekileyo necocekileyo ubuKatolika ngoku bugungqiswa njengekhiwane emthini?

Ukunyikima okukhulu ulapha kwaye uyeza. Ngenxa yokuba siyilibele intliziyo yomsebenzi wethu: ukwenza uYesu Kristu athandwe kwaye aziwe, kwaye ngaloo ndlela, ukutsalela yonke indalo entliziyweni kaBathathu Emnye. Umsebenzi wethu kukuzisa abanye kubudlelwane bokwenyani nobobuqu noYesu Krestu, iNkosi noMsindisi-ubudlelwane obuphilisayo, obukhululayo, kwaye busiguqulele ekubeni sisidalwa esitsha. Yiloo nto ke ithetha ukuthi “ubuvangeli olutsha”. 

Njengoko usazi kakuhle ayingombandela wokudlulisa nje imfundiso, kodwa yintlanganiso yobuqu kunye nenzulu noMsindisi.   —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Ukuyalela iiNtsapho, iNeo-Catechumenal Way. 1991.

Ngamanye amaxesha amaKatolika aphulukene okanye akaze abe nethuba lokuzibonela u-Kristu ngokobuqu: hayi u-Kristu njenge 'paradigm' okanye 'ixabiso', kodwa njengeNkosi ephilayo, 'indlela, nenyaniso, nobomi'. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, L'Osservatore Romano (uHlelo lwesiNgesi lweVatican Newspaper), Matshi 24, 1993, iphe. 3.

Uguquko lithetha ukwamkela, ngesigqibo sobuqu, inkululeko esindisayo kaKristu nokuba ngumfundi wakhe.  —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, Ileta Encyclical: Umsebenzi woMhlanguli (1990) 46

Kwaye uPopu Benedict wongeza:

...sinokuba ngamangqina kuphela xa simazi kuqala uKristu, kungengabanye kuphela—kusuka kubomi bethu, ekuhlanganeni kwethu noKristu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kwiSixeko saseVatican, nge-20 kaJanuwari ka-2010, Zenit

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, "Uloyiso lweNtliziyo Engaguqukiyo kaMariya" eyayithenjiswe eFatima, kwaye kufezekiswa njengoko sithethayo, ayithethi ngeNtombi Enyulu uMariya, ngomntu ngamnye. Uloyiso lumalunga nendima kaMariya ekwenzeni uYesu ukuba abe ngumbindi wehlabathi kwakhona nasekuzalweni kwakhe lonke umzimba ongaqondakaliyo (bona ISityhilelo 12:1-2). Kwizityhilelo ezivunyiweyo ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann, uYesu ngokwakhe uchaza indlela "uMfazi" kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo, uMama wethu, uya kunceda ukuzisa ihlabathi elitsha.

INkosi uYesu yayinencoko enzulu kakhulu kunye nam. Undicelile ukuba mandithathe imiyalezo ndiyise kwa bishophu. (Kwakungo-Matshi 27, 1963, kwaye ndenza njalo.) Wathetha nam ngobude malunga nexesha lobabalo kunye noMoya wothando ofana ncam nePentekoste yokuqala, ekhukula umhlaba ngamandla awo. Lowo iya kuba ngummangaliso omkhulu utsala umdla woluntu lonke. Konke oko kukuhanjiswa kwefayile ye- Iziphumo zobabalo yeLangatye leNtombi eNtsikelelo yothando. Umhlaba ugqunywe bubumnyama ngenxa yokunqongophala kokholo emphefumlweni woluntu kwaye ke uyakufumana isiphithiphithi esikhulu. Ukulandela oko, abantu baya kukholelwa. Le ntshukumo, ngamandla okholo, iya kudala umhlaba omtsha. NgeLangatye Lothando LweNtombi Enyulu, ukholo luya kumila emiphefumlweni, kwaye ubuso bomhlaba buya kuhlaziywa, kuba “akukho nto injengaleyo yenzekileyo oko iLizwi laba yinyama. ” Uhlaziyo lomhlaba, nangona luzaliswe ziimbandezelo, luya kuza ngamandla okuthethelela iNtombi Enyulu. -Idangatye loThando lweNhliziyo engacacanga kaMariya: Idayari yokomoya (UHlelo Lobubele, kwiNdawo yowama-2898-2899); ivunywe kwi-2009 nguKhadinali Péter Erdö Cardinal, Primate kunye noMbhishophu omkhulu. Qaphela: UPopu uFrancis wanika iNtsikelelo yakhe yobuPostile phezu kwedangatye loThando lweNtliziyo eNgaguqukiyo kaMariya nge-19 kaJuni ka-2013.

Kodwa nantsi inqaku: kwenye indawo kwiidayari zikaElizabeth, iNenekazi lethu lichaza ukuba iLanga loThando livutha entliziyweni yakhe. “NguYesu Kristu ngokwakhe.”^[1]Idangatye Lothando, p. 38, kwidayari kaElizabeth Kindelmann; 1962; nangemvume Ubhishophu omkhulu uCharles Chaput Yonke into ngoYesu. Siyilibele loo nto. Kodwa iZulu liza kusikhumbuza ngendlela engayi kuba nayo into enjengale “Oko kwenzekayo oko uLizwi waba yinyama.” 

Ngoko, ngokwenene, UYesu ngoyena Mcimbi uphambili. Akunjalo malunga nehlabathi eliza kuguqa phambi kweCawa yamaKatolika kwaye liphuze umsesane wePontiff ngelixa sibuyisela i-lace kunye nesiLatini. Endaweni yoko, 

ukuze ngegama likaYesu agobe onke amadolo, awabasemazulwini, nawabasemhlabeni, nawabaphantsi komhlaba, zithi zonke iilwimi zixele ukuba uYesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kuze kuzukiswe uThixo uYise. ( Fil 2:10-11 )

Xa loo mini ifika—yaye isiza—uluntu luya kubuyela ngokwemvelo kuko konke awalunika kona uYesu ngokusebenzisa iCawa yamaKatolika: iVangeli, iisakramente, kunye nolo thando ngaphandle kwabo bonke bafile kwaye babandayo. Ke, kungoko kuphela, apho iBandla liya kuba likhaya lokwenene lehlabathi: xa lona ngokwalo lambethe ukuthobeka, ukukhanya, nothando loNyana. 

"Kwaye ziya kuliva izwi lam, kwaye kuya kubakho isibaya esinye kunye nomalusi omnye." Wanga uThixo… ngokufutshane uza kusizalisekisa isiprofetho sakhe sokuguqula lo mbono udlamkileyo wexesha elizayo ube yinto yokwenene… Kungumsebenzi kaThixo ukuzisa eli lixa lokonwaba kwaye ulazise kubo bonke ... Xa lifikile, liyakuba yure eligcweleyo, elikhulu elinemiphumela hayi kuphela ekubuyiseleni uBukumkani bukaKristu, kodwa Ukuhlaziywa kwe… kwehlabathi. Sithandaza ngokuzingisileyo, kwaye sicela abanye ngokufanayo ukuba bathandaze kuluntu olunqwenelekayo kakhulu kuluntu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi "Kuxolo lukaKristu eBukumkanini bakhe", UDisemba 23, 1922

Owu! xa kuwo wonke umzi nelali umthetho weNkosi ugcinwa ngokuthembeka, xa kuhlonitshwa izinto ezingcwele, xa iiSakramente zisenzeka rhoqo, kwaye nemimiselo yobomi bobuKristu izalisekiswa, ngokuqinisekileyo akusayi kubakho mfuneko yokuba sisebenze ngakumbi ubona zonke izinto zibuyiselwe kuKristu… Kwaye emva koko? Ekugqibeleni, iyakucaca kubo bonke into yokuba icawe, njengoko yayimiselwe nguKrestu, kufuneka yonwabele inkululeko epheleleyo nokuzimela kuwo wonke ulawulo lwangaphandle… “Uya kuzaphula iintloko zeentshaba zakhe,” ukuze bonke yazi "ukuba uThixo ngukumkani wehlabathi lonke," ukuze iintlanga zazi ukuba zingamadoda. Konke oku, Bazalwane abahloniphekileyo, Siyakholelwa kwaye silindele ngokholo olungagungqiyo. —UPOPI PIUS X, E Supremi, Encyclical "Ekubuyiselweni kwezinto zonke"N. 14, 6-7
