WE phila kwixesha elingaqhelekanga apho kukho iimpendulo kuyo yonke into. Akukho mbuzo ebusweni bomhlaba ukuba, ngokufikelela kwikhompyuter okanye umntu onayo, angafumani mpendulo. Kodwa impendulo enye esamile, elindele ukuviwa zizihlwele, ingumbuzo wendlala enzulu yoluntu. Ukulambela injongo, intsingiselo, nothando. Uthando ngaphezu kwayo yonke enye into. Kuba xa sithandwa, ngandlela thile yonke eminye imibuzo ibonakala iyinciphisa indlela iinkwenkwezi ezibuna ngayo xa kuphuma ilanga. Andithethi ngothando lwesithandana, kodwa ukwamkela, ukwamkelwa ngaphandle kwemeko nokukhathazeka komnye.
UBUHLUNGU OBUHLANGANISIWE
Kukho intlungu eyoyikekayo emphefumlweni wamadoda namhlanje. Kuba nangona soyisile umgama kunye nendawo ngokusebenzisa itekhnoloji yethu, nangona "siqhagamshele" ihlabathi ngokusebenzisa izixhobo zethu, nangona sivelise ukutya okuninzi kunye neempahla eziphathekayo, nangona siye sahlula i-DNA yomntu kwaye safumana indlela yokudala ubomi- iifomu, kwaye nangona sinako ukufikelela kulo lonke ulwazi… sinesithukuthezi kwaye sihlwempuzekile kunangaphambili. Okukhona sibaninzi, kubonakala ngathi, siziva siphantsi kobuntu, kwaye enyanisweni, siya siba ngabantu abancinci. Okwangezelela ukuphelelwa lithemba kweli xesha siphila kulo kukukhula “kwabatsha abangakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo,” abantu abathi ngeengxoxo ezimibalabala kodwa ezingenanto nengekho ngqiqweni bazama ukubucacisa ubukho bukaThixo. Ngokusebenzisa iidiatribes zabo, bahlutha izigidi ngeyona njongo yobomi naso nasiphi na isizathu sokwenene sokuphila.
Kule miba kunye neminye imida ebonakala iliwaka, kuye kwakho ukungabi nanto… uvuyo oluthe lwathi shwaka emphefumlweni womntu. Kwanaphakathi kwawona maKristu athembekileyo: sicinezelekile, siphazanyiswe luloyiko lwangaphakathi nolwangaphandle, yaye ngokufuthi asikwazi ukwahluka phakathi kwezihlwele ngokweemvakalelo, ulwimi, nezenzo zethu.
Ihlabathi limfuna uYesu, kodwa alimfumani.
IMPATHA IVANGELI
ICawe xa iyonke ibonakala ngathi imkile kumbindi wayo: uthando olunzulu noluhlala luhleli lukaYesu olubonakaliswa ngothando kummelwane wethu. Ngenxa yokuba siphila kwixesha leengxoxo ezinkulu zefilosofi (iingxoxo ezindala, kodwa iingxoxo ezintsha), iCawe ngokwayo ibanjwe kwezi mpikiswano. Kwakhona siphila kwixesha lesono, mhlawumbi ukuchas’ umthetho okungenakuthelekiswa nanto. Ngokunjalo, iCawe kufuneka iphendule kwezi zilo zineentloko ezininzi ezibandakanya ubugcisa obutsha nobuphazamisayo obungapheleli nje ekutyhaleni imida yokuziphatha, kodwa bukrazula isiseko sobomi ngokwaso. Yaye ngenxa yokuqhambuka “kweecawa” ezintsha namahlelo anxamnye nobuKatolika, ngokufuthi iCawa iye yazifumanisa ifanele ithethelele iinkolelo neemfundiso zayo.
Ngokunjalo, kubonakala ngathi sitshintshile ekubeni nguMzimba kaKristu saya kumlomo wakhe nje. Kukho ingozi yokuba thina bazibiza ngokuba singamaKatolika senze impazamo yokuba intetho yobuKristu iphosisekile, iimpendulo ezingentlokothi kunqulo lokwenyaniso, sizichaza ngokucacileyo izingxengxezo zobomi bokwenyani. Singathanda ukucaphula elo binzana libhekiselwa kwiNgcwele uFrancis elithi, “Shumayela iVangeli ngalo lonke ixesha, yaye ukuba kuyimfuneko, sebenzisa amagama,” kodwa ngokufuthi senza impazamo yokusicaphula ngokuphila ngokoqobo.
Thina maKristu, ngakumbi aseNtshona, siye sakhululeka kwizitulo zethu. Logama nje sisenza iminikelo embalwa, sixhasa umntwana olambileyo okanye ababini, kwaye sizimasa iMisa yeveki, siye saziqinisekisa ukuba siyayifeza imisebenzi yethu. Okanye mhlawumbi siye sangena kwiiforam ezimbalwa, saxoxa ngemiphefumlo embalwa, sathumela ibhlog ekhusela inyaniso, okanye siphendule iphulo loqhanqalazo lopopayi onyelisa uThixo okanye urhwebo olungcolileyo. Okanye mhlawumbi siye saneliseka kukuba ukuba neencwadi zenkolo kunye namanqaku okanye ukufunda (okanye ukubhala) ukucamngca okufana noku kufana nokuba ngumKristu.
Sisoloko siphazama ukuba silungile ngokuba ngcwele. Kodwa umhlaba uyaqhubeka ukulamba ...
Amaxesha amaninzi ubungqina beCawa obuphikisana nenkcubeko buqondwa phosakeleyo njengento ebuyayo umva nengalunganga kuluntu lwanamhlanje. Kungenxa yoko le nto kubalulekile ukugxininisa Iindaba Ezilungileyo, umyalezo onika ubomi kunye nokomeleza ubomi weVangeli. Nokuba kunyanzelekile ukuba sithethe phandle ngokuchaseneyo nobubi obusoyikisayo, kufuneka silungise umbono wokuba ubuKatolika "yingqokelela yezithintelo". —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Intetho kooBhishophu baseIreland; ISIXEKO saseVATICAN, ngo-Oktobha 29, 2006
Kuba ihlabathi linxaniwe.
IZIQINISO ZOBUXOKI
Ihlabathi linxanelwe uthando. Bafuna ukubona ubuso boThando, ukujonga emehlweni akhe, kwaye bazi ukuba bayathandwa. Kodwa amaxesha amaninzi, badibana kuphela nodonga lwamagama, okanye okubi ngakumbi ukuthula. Ukuzola okunesithulu. Kwaye ke, iingcali zethu zengqondo zigqithisekile, iivenkile zethu zotywala ziyakhula, kwaye iisayithi zephonografi zithatha iibhiliyoni njengoko imiphefumlo ifuna iindlela zokuzalisa ulangazelelo kunye nokungabi nanto ngolonwabo lwexeshana. Kodwa ngalo lonke ixesha imiphefumlo ibamba isithixo esinjalo, sijika sibe luthuli ezandleni zabo, kwaye sishiywe kwakhona ngentlungu enzulu kunye nokungazinzi. Mhlawumbi bade bafune ukuguqukela eCaweni… kodwa apho bafumana ihlazo, ukungakhathali, kunye nosapho lwerhamente ngamanye amaxesha lungasebenzi kakuhle kunolwabo.
Owu Nkosi, hayi ubugqwirha bethu! Ngaba kunokubakho impendulo koku kubhideka nokulila ekudibaneni kwendlela ende yembali yoluntu?
MTHANDE
Uyilo lokuqala lwencwadi yam yamva nje, Imbonakalo yokuGqibela, yayiphantse ibe liwaka lamaphepha. Kwaye ke, kwindlela emajikojiko kwiintaba ezincinci zaseVermont, ndeva amazwi oyikekayo, “Qalisa kwakhona." INkosi yayifuna ndiqale phantsi. Kwaye xa ndenzayo… xa ndaqalisa ukumamela oko Yena ngokoqobo wayefuna ukuba ndibhale kunokuba ndibhale cinga Wayefuna ukuba ndibhale, kwaphuma incwadi entsha, ethi ngokweencwadi endizifumanayo, igcwalisa imiphefumlo ngethemba nokukhanya ukuyikhokela kobu bumnyama bangoku.
Ngokunjalo, iBandla kufuneka liqale kwakhona. Kufuneka sifumane indlela yokubuyela kwisiseko sethu.
…unyamezele kwaye uye wabandezeleka ngenxa yegama lam, kwaye awuzange udinwe. Kodwa ke ndinale nto ngakuwe: uphulukene nothando owawunalo kuqala. Qonda ukuba uwe kangakanani na. Guquka, wenze imisebenzi owayenzayo kuqala. ( ISityhilelo 2:3-5 )
Ekuphela kwendlela esinokuthi sibe bubuso bothando komnye umntu—kwaye ngaloo ndlela sibanike ubungqina nokunxibelelana noThixo ophilayo ngathi—kukwazi ukuba uThixo uyasithanda kwasekuqaleni, ukuba uyasithanda. me.
Thina siyamthanda, ngokuba yena wasithanda kuqala. (1 Yohane 4:19)
Xa ndi themba ukuba inceba Yakhe ilulwandle olungenakuphela kwaye uyandithanda, nokuba imeko yam injani, ngoko ndinokuqala ukuthanda. Ngoko ke ndingaqalisa ukuba nenceba nemfesane ngenceba nemfesane athe wandenzela yona. Ndiqala ngokuMthanda kuqala.
Uze uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela, nangamandla akho ephela. ( Marko 12:30 )
Oku kufana nesiBhalo oya kuze usifumane, ukuba ayisosona singqala. Ifuna ukuba sizinikele ngokupheleleyo, ingcinga yethu yonke, ilizwi, kunye nesenzo kwisenzo sokuthanda uThixo. Ifuna ingqalelo yomphefumlo kwiLizwi likaThixo, kubomi Bakhe, kumzekelo Wakhe, nakwimithetho nemiyalelo Yakhe. Ifuna ukuba sizinikele ngokwethu, okanye endaweni yoko, sizithulule ngendlela uYesu awaziqongqotha ngayo emnqamlezweni. Ewe, esi sicatshulwa sesiBhalo siyafuneka kuba sibuza kuthi ubomi bethu.
Ukumamela uKristu nokumnqula kusikhokelela ekubeni senze ukhetho olukhaliphileyo, lokuthabatha izigqibo ezizezobugorha ngamanye amaxesha. UYesu uyafuna, kuba usinqwenelela ulonwabo lokwenene. IBandla lifuna abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, kwaye ngabantu abangcwele kuphela abanokuhlaziya ubuntu. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha kwiHlabathi liphela wowama-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit.org
Lulo “lonwabo lokwenene” elinxanelwe ihlabathi. Baza kuyifumana phi ngaphandle aqukuqela njengamanzi aphilileyo aphuma kum nawe ( Yohane 4:14 )? Xa siye saphula ezethu izithixo sazihlambulula iintliziyo zethu kwizono zethu ezidlulileyo saza saqalisa ukuthanda uYehova ngentliziyo yethu yonke, ngomphefumlo, ngengqondo nangamandla ethu ephela, ngoko kukho into eyenzekayo. Ubabalo luqala ukuqukuqela. Isiqhamo soMoya-uthando, uxolo, uvuyo, njalo njalo-siqala ukuhluma kubomi bethu. Kukukuphila ngalo Myalelo mkhulu ngokholo apho ndiphinda ndifumanise kwaye ndingene nzulu kuLwandlekazi lweNceba kwaye ndifumane amandla kuloo Ntliziyo ingapheliyo indibethela umzuzu ngamnye, indixelela ukuba Ndiyathandwa.

Uze umthande ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu. (UMarko 12:31)
MANJE
Le ayisiyonkqubo elandelelanayo kangangokuba kufuneka silinde ukuba sibe yinto esingeyiyo ukuze senze into ebesifanele ukuyenza. Kunoko, mzuzu ngamnye, sinokuqalisa kwakhona, siqhekeza isithixo esibambelele kuso size sibeke uThixo kuqala. Ngelo xesha, singaqalisa ukuthanda indlela awayeyithanda ngayo, size ngaloo ndlela sibe bubuso boThando kummelwane wethu. Kufuneka siwuyeke lo mnqweno ungento nowobudenge wokufuna ukuba ngcwele ngokungathi yinto eza kwenzeka ekupheleni kobomi bethu nezihlwele zikhwaza ngathi zizama ukubamba umqukumbelo weempahla zethu. Ubungcwele bungenzeka ngaphakathi komzuzu ngamnye ukuba senza nje into eyathethwa yiNkosi yethu, kwaye siyenze ngothando (“abasemthethweni” Abangcwele ngabo banengqokelela enkulu yala maxesha kunabantu abaninzi.) Kwaye kufuneka siphelise nakuphi na ukuhanahanisa. efuna ukuguqula izihlwele. Awunakuguqula namnye umphefumlo ngaphandle kokuba uMoya kaThixo uqukuqele ngaphakathi kuwe.
Umdiliya ndim, nina ningamasebe. Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, wothwala isiqhamo esininzi; ngokuba, ningekum, aninakwenza nto… Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, nihlale eluthandweni lwam (Yohane 15:5, 10).
UThixo, njengokwenziwa kwakhe umntu, phantse uhlala esebenza ngeziqalo ezincinci. Bathande abo bakungqongileyo ngentliziyo kaKristu. Qaphela intsimi enkulu yobufundisi, okokuqala ngaphakathi komphefumlo wakho, kwaye emva kwekhaya lakho. Yenza izinto ezincinci ngothando olukhulu. Luqilima. Kufuneka inkalipho. Kufuna “uewe” othe rhoqo nokuthobeka xa ubani ejamelene nobuthathaka bakhe. Kodwa uThixo uyayazi loo nto ngam nawe. Kanti ke, uMyalelo waKhe oMkhulu uhleli phambi kwethu kuko konke ukungafihlisi kwawo, kuko konke okufunayo, kuko konke ogxininisa kuko ukususela oko wathethwa ngawo. Kungenxa yokuba iNkosi inolonwabo lwethu engqondweni, kuba ukuphila kuMarko 12:30 kuya kuba njalo ngabantu ngokupheleleyo. Ukuthanda uThixo ngomphefumlo wethu uphela kukuphila ngokupheleleyo.
Umntu udinga isimilo ukuze abe nguye. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), Benedictus, iphe. 207
