Mvanje, umntu wabhala ebuza iingcebiso malunga nento onokuyenza kwiimeko nabantu abalahla ukholo:

Ndiyazi ukuba siza kulungiselela kwaye sincedise usapho lwethu kuKristu, kodwa xa abantu bendixelela ukuba abasayi eMthendelekweni okanye bayayicaphukela iCawe… ndothuke kakhulu, ingqondo yam ayisebenzi! Ndicenga uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba uze kum… kodwa andamkeli nto… andinawo amazwi enduduzo okanye okushumayela. —GS

Sifanele siphendule njani njengamaKatolika kwabangakholwayo? Kubantu abangakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo? Ngaba ukholelwa kwizinto ezisisiseko? Kwabo basiphazamisayo? Kubantu abaphila kwisono esibi, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweentsapho zethu? Le yimibuzo endibuzwa yona rhoqo. Impendulo yazo zonke ezi zinto kukuba uthando ngaphaya kobuso.

UPapa Francis kutshanje ubhale wathi:

Ukuba siza kwabelana nabanye ngobomi bethu kwaye sizinikele ngesisa, kufuneka sazi ukuba wonke umntu ukufanele ukupha kwethu. Hayi ngenxa yenkangeleko yabo, ubuchule babo, ulwimi lwabo, indlela abacinga ngayo, okanye ulwaneliseko esinokulufumana, kodwa kungenxa yokuba ngumsebenzi wezandla zikaThixo, indalo yakhe. UThixo wamdala umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe, kwaye ubonakalisa into ethile ebuqaqawuli bukaThixo. Wonke umntu uyinto yesisa sikaThixo esingenasiphelo, kwaye yena ukho ebomini babo. UYesu wanikela ngegazi lakhe elixabisekileyo emnqamlezweni ngenxa yaloo mntu. Ukubonakala nangona kunjalo, wonke umntu ungcwele kakhulu kwaye ufanelwe luthando lwethu. -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-274

Unokubuza, "Kodwa kutheni umntu ophila esonweni" engcwele "? Kutheni kufanelekile ukuba sibathande abantu abanobuqhophololo, umbulali, umntu obonisa amanyala, okanye umntu oxhaphaza abantwana ngokwesini? ” Impendulo kukujonga ngaphaya komphezulu, ngaphaya kwenkuku yesono kunye nobuthathaka obugqwetha kwaye obufihla umfanekiso apho umntu ngamnye yenziwe. Xa uMama uTeresa osikeleleyo ekhetha imiphefumlo ebhitye ngokoqobo ephuma kumjelo wamanzi amdaka eCalcutta, akazange awangcolise malunga nokuba ngamaKatolika, amaHindu, okanye amaSilamsi. Akazange abuze ukuba baya ngokuthembeka na eMthendelekweni, baba neentlobano zesini ngaphambi komtshato, basebenzise izinto zokuthintela inzala, okanye bafundiswa emakhaya. Uthanda nje ngaphaya kwemeko yabo, inkolo yabo, "isazisi sabo," njalo njalo.

INkosi ayiguquki; Unika uthando. Kwaye olu thando lukufuna kwaye lulinde wena, ongakholwayo ngalo mzuzu okanye ukude. Olu luthando lukaThixo. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, uAngelus, eSt. Peter Square, ngoJanuwari 6, 2014; Iindaba Ezimeleyo zamaKatolika

Ngaba ungangena kwigumbi lasesibhedlele ube nguKrestu kwindoda elingqingili ebulawa nguGawulayo ochithe ubomi bakhe elele namanye amadoda? Uyabona, yile nto ithethwa nguSt.John kwisifundo sokuqala namhlanje:

Nabani na ongenalo uthando akamazi uThixo, kuba uThixo uluthando.

Kwaye ucacisa ntoni Bubele yothando kuxa esithi:

Uthando lulapha; ingekukuba samthandayo uThixo thina, ikukuba wasithandayo yena.

UYesu akazange alinde ukuba eze emhlabeni de sibe singcwele. Akazange angene ngexesha xa wonke umntu wayehluthwe kwaye engcwele. Waba ngomnye wethu xa ncinane lufanelwe luthando lwaKhe. Wenza ntoni ke? Wadla endlwini yomoni, wafikelela kwihenyukazi, wancokola nombuthi werhafu. Ewe, siyayazi le nto… kutheni le nto sijika siluhlaza xa umoni, ihenyukazi nomqokeleli werhafu bengena yethu umnyango? Sifanele sithande ngaphaya komhlaba, yinto eyenziwa nguYesu. Oko wakubonayo kuZakeyu, kukaMary Magdalene, nakuMateyu ngamehlo umfanekiso abedalwe ngawo. Lo mfanekiso, nangona wagqwethwa sisono, awuzange usinciphise isidima sabo, isidima esingcwele, esoyikekayo, nesingenakuthelekiswa nanto kwindalo.

Ndiqinisekile ukuba uThixo ukho kubomi bomntu ngamnye. UThixo usebomini bomntu wonke. Nokuba ubomi bomntu buyintlekele, nokuba butshabalalisiwe yimikhwa emibi, iziyobisi okanye nantoni na eyenye-uThixo ukhona kubomi balo mntu. Unako, kufuneka uzame ukufuna uThixo kubo bonke ubomi bomntu. Nangona ubomi bomntu lilizwe elizele ngameva nokhula, kuhlala kukho indawo apho imbewu elungileyo inokukhula khona. Kufuneka uthembele kuThixo. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, Udliwanondlebe, americamagazine.org, NgoSeptemba, i-2013

Ke xa uMdumisi esithi, “Makagwebe ityala labaziintsizana ebantwini, Asindise oonyana bamahlwempu"Oku kuthetha oko: UYesu uza kukhusela isidima somntu ngamnye (kwaye ke, okona kukhusela komphefumlo kukufumana usindiso. Ke ngoko, ubizo esonweni kuyinxalenye yothando. Kodwa "isibhengezo sokuqala" ubukho bethu kunye nezenzo kufuneka zigqithise komnye kukuba ziyathandwa. Emva koko, uPapa Francis uthi, "Kungenxa yesi siphakamiso apho iziphumo zokuziphatha zihamba khona…" ^[1]americamagazine.org, EyoMsintsi 2013 ) Ke ngoko xa umi phambi komntu ochasayo, okhathazekileyo, ovukelayo, onoburhalarhume, onomsindo, okhathazayo, onesithukuthezi, olahlekileyo… bangabantu abaxhwalekileyo nabangamahlwempu abadinga uthando lukaKristu. Bafuna ukwamkelwa, njengoko benjalo, ngalo mzuzu, ngothando olungenamiqathango. Njani? Nika ingqibi ingqekembe yemali. Mamela iingxoxo zomntu ongakholelwa kuThixo ngomonde. Yandisa ububele kulowo uhamba ze, olambileyo, kwaye usentolongweni yesono.

Abaphathiswa beVangeli kufuneka babe ngabantu abanokufudumeza iintliziyo zabantu, abahamba nabo ubusuku obumnyama kunye nabo, abakwaziyo ukwenza ingxoxo kunye nokuzithoba kubusuku babantu babo, ebumnyameni, kodwa bengalahlekanga. -IPOPE FRANCIS, americamagazine.org, EyoMsintsi 2013

Njengokuba uYesu esitsho kwiVangeli yanamhlanje xa abaPostile bamxelelayo ukuba amawaka alambile:

Banike ukutya ngokwenu.

"Kodwa ubanike ntoni?", Abapostile bayabuza-umbuzo ofanayo nalowo ufunda kum ngasentla. Ngokuphawulekayo, uYesu wondla abantu ngantoni bona wamnika izonka ezihlanu neentlanzi ezimbini. Ngokukwanjalo, xa ukunye nabanye, sukukhathazeka kakhulu ukuba bakwiphepha elinye njengoko unjalo nakwelinye iphepha. Oko kukuthi, zichonge ngokwenzakala kwabo; mamela usizi lwabo; Wuqonde umsindo wabo. Yazi ukuba le uyivayo noyibonayo ihlala iyisigqumathelo kunye nentliziyo eyenzakeleyo efihla umntwana kaThixo ngaphakathi. Thatha oko bakunika kona ngalo mzuzu: izonka ezihlanu kunye neentlanzi ezimbini zentlupheko yabo yokomoya neyasemzimbeni, kwaye ngothando lwakho nokuthethelela, zinikele eNkosini. Uya kuthi ke, ngexesha lakhe, ayakuphinda-phinda isenzo sakho sothando ngendlela yakhe.

Singaqiniseka ukuba akukho nanye izenzo zethu zothando eziza kulahleka, okanye naziphi na izenzo zethu zokukhathalela abanye. Akukho senzo sinye sothando ngoThixo esiya kulahleka, akukho nzame yesisa ayinantsingiselo, akukho kunyamezeleka okubuhlungu okuchithekileyo… Kungenzeka ukuba iNkosi isebenzisa amadini ethu ukuhlamba iintsikelelo kwenye indawo yomhlaba esingasokuze siyityelele. UMoya oyiNgcwele usebenza ngokuthanda kwakhe, xa ethanda na apho athanda khona; Siyazithemba ngaphandle kokuzenza ngathi sibona iziphumo eziqaqambileyo. -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-279

Xa abantu beqonda ukuba bayathandwa, iindonga ziqala ukuwa-mhlawumbi hayi kwangoko; mhlawumbi ngekhe kubekhona ebusweni bakho… Kodwa akukho thando luye lwachitha okanye lulahleke kubauthixo Luthando. ” Kwaye ukuba senziwe ngokomfanekiselo wothando, ke phantsi komphezulu weentliziyo zethu ezonzakeleyo, kulapho kukho uThixo. NguYe ekufuneka sifune ukumbona kwaye simthande komnye, ngakumbi "abona bancinane kubazalwana bethu."
