INXALENYE yomzabalazo amaKatolika amaninzi anayo isityhilelo sangasese Kukuba kukho ukuqonda okungafanelekanga kokubizwa kweemboni kunye nababonisi. Ukuba aba "baprofeti" abathintelwanga kwaphela njengokungalungi kwinkcubeko yeCawe, bahlala bekhweletiswa ngabanye abavakalelwa kukuba imboni kufuneka ibaluleke ngakumbi kunabo. Zombini ezi zimvo zenza umonakalo omkhulu kwindima ephambili yaba bantu: ukuphatha umyalezo okanye imishini evela ezulwini.
EMNQAMLELWENI, HAYI ESISITHWABA
Bambalwa abawuqondayo umthwalo owuthwalayo xa iNkosi ihlawulisa umphefumlo ukuba uphathe ilizwi lesiprofeto okanye umbono uye ebantwini ... yiyo loo nto ndisoyika xa ndifunda uvavanyo olungenanceba lwabo babandakanyeka kumaphulo abo okuncothula "abaprofeti bobuxoki." Bahlala belibala ukuba aba ngabantu abajongana nabo, kwaye okona kubi, imiphefumlo ekhohlisiweyo efuna imfesane kunye nemithandazo yethu njengokhokelo lweCawa. Ndihlala ndithunyelwa izihloko zeencwadi kunye namanqaku achaza ukuba kutheni le okanye lembonakalo ingeyonyani. Iipesenti ezingama-XNUMX zexesha abafunda ngazo njenge-tabloid ye-gossip ka "watsho njalo" kwaye "wakubona oku." Nokuba kukho inyani kuyo, bahlala bengenayo into ebalulekileyo: sa. Ukunyaniseka, ngamanye amaxesha ndikrokrela umntu ohamba ixesha elide ukuze anyelise omnye umntu kunokuba ndinjalo ngalowo ukholelwa ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba unemishini evela ezulwini. Naphi na apho kukho ukusilela kwisisa kukho ukungaphumeleli ekuqondeni. Umgxeki unokufumana ezinye iinyani ngokuchanekileyo kodwa aphoswe yinyani iyonke.
Nokuba kungenxa yasiphi na isizathu, iNkosi “indiqhagamshele” ngeemfihlelo ezininzi neemboni eMntla Melika. Abo babonakala beyinyani kum baphantsi emhlabeni, bathobekile, kwaye ayothusi into yokuba, yimveliso yeepasile ezaphukileyo okanye ezinzima. UYesu wayesoloko ekhetha abahlwempuzekileyo, abanjengoMateyu, uMary Magdalene okanye uZakeyu ukumgcina ukuba, njengoPetros, ilitye eliphilayo apho iBandla laKhe liza kwakhiwa khona. Kubuthathaka, amandla kaKristu enziwa agqibelele; kubuthathaka babo, bomelele (2 Kor. 12: 9-10). Le miphefumlo, ibonakala ngathi inolwazi olunzulu intlupheko yabo yokomoya, yazi tumnqwazi zizixhobo nje, zizitya zodongwe eziqulethe uKrestu hayi kuba kufanelekile, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ulungile kwaye unenceba. Le miphefumlo iyavuma ukuba ibingayi kulufuna olu bizo ngenxa yeengozi ezizisa zona, kodwa ngokuzithandela nangokuvuya bayaluthwala kuba bayaliqonda ilungelo elikhulu lokukhonza u Yesu-kwaye babonakalise ukwaliwa nokugculelwa awakufumanayo.
… Le miphefumlo ithobekileyo, kude kunqwenela ukuba ngutitshala wakhe nabani na, ikulungele ukuthatha indlela eyahlukileyo kule bayilandelayo, ukuba bayalelwe ukuba benze njalo. —St. UYohane woMnqamlezo, Ubusuku obumnyama, Incwadi Yokuqala, Isahluko 3, n. 7
Uninzi lwemboni eziyinyani kunokukhetha ukuzifihla phambi kweTabernakele kunokuba zijongane nesihlwele, kuba bayazi ukuba akukho nto kwaye banqwenela ngakumbi ukuba udumo abalufumanayo luza kunikwa iNkosi. Imboni eyiyo, yakuba idibene noKristu okanye uMariya, ihlala iqala ukubala izinto zeli hlabathi njengezingento, "njengenkunkuma" xa kuthelekiswa nokwazi uYesu. Oku kongeza kuphela emnqamlezweni ababizelwe ukuwuthwala, kuba ukulangazelela kwabo izulu kunye nobukho bukaThixo buyanda. Babanjiwe phakathi kokufuna ukuhlala nokuba kukukhanya kubazalwana babo ngelixa kwangaxeshanye benqwenela ukungena nzulu entliziyweni kaThixo.
Kwaye konke oku, zonke ezi mvakalelo, zihlala zigcinwa zifihlakele. Kodwa zininzi iinyembezi kunye nezoyikiso ezimbi zokudimazeka, amathandabuzo, kunye nokoma abahlangana nazo njengeNkosi uqobo, njengomlimi olungileyo, ithena ize ilondle isebe ukuze lingakhukhumali likratshi lize likhuphe incindi UMoya oyiNgcwele, ngaloo ndlela ungavelisi ziqhamo. Benza ngokuzolileyo kodwa ngabom besenza umsebenzi wabo wobuthixo, nangona ngamanye amaxesha bengaqondwa kakuhle, nkqu ngabavumayo kunye nabalawuli bokomoya. Emehlweni ehlabathi, baziziyatha… ewe, bazizidenge zikaKristu. Kodwa ayisiyiyo nje imbono yehlabathi-imboni eyiyo kufuneka idlule kwiziko lomlilo emva kwendlu yayo. Ukuthula okulandelayo kosapho, ukushiywa ngabahlobo, kunye nokuzimela (kodwa ngamanye amaxesha kunyanzelekile) kokuma kweziphathamandla zecawa kudala intlango yesizungu, leyo iNkosi yayisoloko iziva yona, kodwa ingakumbi kwinduli eyinkqantosi yeKalvari.
Hayi, ukubizelwa ukuba ube ngumboni okanye imboni ayisosithsaba lo ubomi, kodwa umnqamlezo.
Abanye Bakhohlisiwe
Njengoko ndibhalile KwiSityhilelo saBucala, Icawe ayamkeli nje kuphela kodwa iimfuno Ukutyhilwa ngasese kude njengoko kukhanyisela abathembekileyo ukujika okuzayo kwiNdlela, indlela engenabungozi, okanye ukwehla okungalindelekanga kwintlambo enzulu.
Siyakubongoza ukuba umamele ngokulula kwentliziyo kunye nokunyaniseka kwengqondo kwizilumkiso ezinamandla zikaMama kaThixo… OoPontiffs baseRoma… Ukuba ngaba bangabagcini kunye nabatoliki besityhilelo esivela kuThixo, esiqulathwe kwiZibhalo eziNgcwele nakwiNkcubeko, bayayithatha Njengomsebenzi wabo ukucebisa ingqalelo yabathembekileyo-xa, emva kovavanyo olunenkathalo, bayigweba ngokulungelwa kwabo bonke-izibane ezingaphaya kwendalo nekumkholisileyo uThixo ukunika ngokukhululekileyo kwimiphefumlo ethile enamalungelo, hayi ukucebisa ngeemfundiso ezintsha, kodwa sikhokele kwihambo yethu. —Basikelelekile UPOPU JOHN XXIII, Umyalezo wePapal Radio, kaFebruwari 18, 1959; L'Osservatore Romano
Nangona kunjalo, amava eCawa atyhila ukuba indawo yeentsomi inokubanjiswa kukuzikhohlisa kunye needemon. Kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu, ucela ulumkiso olukhulu. Omnye wababhali abaphambili beentsomi wayesazi ngamava iingozi ezinokubakho emphefumlweni walowo ukholelwa ukuba zifumana ukukhanya kukaThixo. Kukho ithuba lokuzikhohlisa…
Iyandothusa into eyenzeka kwezi ntsuku-oko kukuthi, xa umphefumlo othile unamava amancinci okucamngca, ukuba uyayazi iindawo ezithile zolu hlobo kwimeko ethile yokukhumbula, kwangoko ubabiza bonke ukuba bavela kuThixo, kwaye uthatha ukuba kunjalo, esithi: "UThixo uthe kum…"; “UThixo undiphendule…”; kanti akunjalo kwaphela, kodwa, njengoko besitshilo, ubukhulu becala abo bazithethayo ezi zinto kubo. Kwaye ngaphezulu koku, umnqweno abantu abanawo wokuzonwabisa, kunye nolonwabo oluza nomoya wabo uvela kubo, ubakhokelele ekubeni baziphendule kwaye bacinge ukuba nguThixo ophendulayo kwaye athethe nabo. -I-St John yoMnqamlezo, I-Asikhulu leNtaba yeKarmele, Incwadi yesi-2, Isahluko 29, n
… Kwaye ke iimpembelelo ezinokubakho zobubi:
[UMtyholi] unomdla kwaye akhohlise [umphefumlo] ngokukhululeka okukhulu ngaphandle kokuba uthatha inyathelo lokuzinikezela kuye uThixo, nokuzikhusela ngamandla, ngokholo, kuyo yonke le mibono neemvakalelo. Kuba kule meko uMtyholi ubangela abaninzi bakholelwe kwimibono engento nakwiziprofeto zobuxoki; kwaye uzama ukubenza bacinge ukuba uThixo nabangcwele bayathetha nabo; kwaye bahlala bethembela kubunewunewu babo. Kwaye uMtyholi ukwaqhelekile, kule meko, ukubagcwalisa ngokuzingca nekratshi, ukuze batsaleleke kumampunge nakukuzikhukhumalisa, kwaye bazivumele ukuba babonwe bebandakanyeka kwizenzo zangaphandle ezibonakala zingcwele, ezinje ngokudlwengulwa kunye nokunye ukubonakaliswa. Yiyo loo nto baba nesibindi noThixo, kwaye baphulukane uloyiko olungcweleYintoni le isitshixo kunye nomgcini wazo zonke izinto ezilungileyo… —St. UYohane woMnqamlezo, Ubusuku obumnyama, Incwadi II, n. 3
Ngaphandle koloyiko olungcwele, oko kukuthi kukuthobeka, iSt. Nanini na xa sibambelela kwezo zinto zinamava ngu zengqondo, sisuka kude ukholo kuba ukholo lugqithisela ezingqondweni, kwaye ukholo luyindlela yokumanyana noThixo.
Kuhlala kulungile ke, ukuba umphefumlo kufuneka uzikhanyele ezi zinto, kwaye uvale amehlo abo kubo, xa befika. Kuba, ngaphandle kokuba yenza njalo, iyakulungiselela indlela ezo zinto zivela kumtyholi, kwaye iyakumnika impembelelo enjalo, ayiyi kuthi kuphela ukuba imibono yakhe ize endaweni kaThixo, kodwa imibono yakhe iya kuqala ukwanda, kwaye Ukupheliswa kukaThixo, ngohlobo lokuba umtyholi abenamandla onke kwaye uThixo angabinalo. Yenzekile ke loo nto kwimiphefumlo emininzi engakhathaliyo nengazi nto, ethembele kwezi zinto kangangokuba uninzi lwazo lukufumene kunzima ukubuyela kuThixo ngobunyulu bokholo… Kuba, ngokwaliwa imibono emibi, iimpazamo ze umtyholi uyathintelwa, kwaye ngokwaliwa kwemibono elungileyo akukho sithintelo sinikezelwa elukholweni kwaye umoya uvuna iziqhamo zawo. -Ukunyuka kweNtaba yeKarmele, Isahluko XI, n. 8
Vuna okulungileyo nokulungileyo, emva koko uphinde ukhawuleze ujonge kwakhona iNdlela etyhilwe kwiiVangeli ezingcwele kunye neNkcubeko eNgcwele, uhambe ngeendlela zokholo—mthandazo, Umthendeleko weSakramente, kunye nezenzo ze uthando.
UKUTHOBELA
Imboni eyiyo iphawulwe ngentobeko thobela. Okokuqala, kukuthobela umyalezo ngokwawo ukuba, ngokuthandaza ngononophelo, ukuqonda kunye nolwalathiso lokomoya, umphefumlo ukholelwa kwezi zibane zivela ezulwini.
Ngaba ngabo sokwenziwa isambulo, kwaye ngubani na oqinisekileyo ukuba uvela kuThixo, ebophelelekile ukuba anike imvume? Impendulo ikwi-affirmative… -IPOPE BENEDICT XIV, UbuGcisa bobuNtu, V. III, p.390
Umboni kufuneka azithobe ngokuthobekileyo kukhokelo lomlawuli onobulumko nongcwele ukuba kunokwenzeka. Kudala kuyinxalenye yesiko leCawa ukuba "notata" emphefumlweni wakhe lowo uzakusetyenziswa nguThixo ukunceda ukuqonda ukuba yintoni na engaye nokuba yintoni engeyiyo. Siyabubona obu buhlobo buhle kwiZibhalo ngokwazo:
Lo myalelo ndiwunikela kuwe, Timoti unyana wamNgokuhambelana neziprofeto ezalatha kuwe, ukuze nikhuthaze ngazo nilwe umlo olungileyo… Wena ke, nyana wam, yomelela elubabalweni olukuKristu Yesu. Kodwa kufanelekile kuTimoti, nge utata khonza kunye nam kwiindaba ezilungileyo. (1 Tim. 1:18; 2 Tim. 2: 1; Fil. 2:22)
Ndiyakubongoza egameni lomntwana wam uOnesimo, utata Ndisentolongweni… (Filemon 10); Phawula: UPaul Paul ukwathetha "utata" njengombingeleli nobhishophu. Yiyo loo nto iCawa yamkela igama elithi "Fr." ngokubhekisele kumagunya ecawa.
Okokugqibela, umboni kufuneka ngokuzithandela angenise zonke izityhilelo kuhlolisiso lweCawa.
Abo baphethe iCawe kufuneka bagwebe ubunyani kunye nokusetyenziswa okufanelekileyo kwezi zipho, ngeofisi yabo hayi ukucima uMoya, kodwa ukuvavanya zonke izinto nokubambelela kokulungileyo. -IBhunga leVatican leSibini, Lumen Gentium, n. I-12
UKUQONDA NGOKUQHELEKILEYO
Ndiqaphele ngembalelwano evela kwii-imeyile endizifumeneyo ukuba kukho izinto ezilindelweyo ezingezizo kubaprofeti abangamaKristu. Inye, kukuba umbono uyingcwele ephilayo. Silindele oku kweemboni, kodwa hayi ngokwethu, kunjalo. Kodwa uPopu Benedict XIV ucacisa ukuba akukho bume bendalo bufunekayo ukuze umntu afumane izityhilelo:
… Ukumanyana noThixo ngesisa akuyomfuneko ukuze ube nesipho sokuprofeta, yiyo loo nto ngamanye amaxesha sasinikwa naboni. eso siprofetho asizange sihlale sinomntu nje… -UbuGcisa bobuNtu, Umqu. III, iphe. 160
UNdikhoyo wathetha ngeesile likaBhalam. (INumeri 22:28). Nangona kunjalo, olunye lwezinto eziqwalaselwa yiCawe ziyasebenza emva Izityhilelo zifunyenwe yindlela ezichaphazela ngayo imboni. Umzekelo, ukuba umntu ebelinxila kwixa elidlulileyo, ingaba bayishiyile indlela yabo yokuphila egabadeleyo, njl.
Omnye umfundi wathi olona phawu lomprofeti "luchaneke nge-100%". Ngelixa umprofeti ngokuqinisekileyo engqinwa eyinyani ngokunika iziprofeto eziyinyani, iBandla, ekuqondeni kwalo ngesityhilelo sabucala, liyaqonda ukuba umbono uza umntu Isixhobo esinokuthi sichaze igama elimsulwa likaThixo ngokwahlukileyo kunoko bekucwangcisiwe nguThixo, okanye, ekusebenziseni umkhwa wokuprofeta, cinga ukuba bathetha ngoMoya, xa ingumoya wabo othethayo.
Iziganeko ezinje ngezihlandlo zokuziphatha okungalunganga kwesiprofeto akufuneki zikhokelele ekugwetyweni komzimba uphela wolwazi olungaphaya kwendalo oluthethwe ngumprofethi, ukuba kuqondwe kakuhle ukwenza isiprofetho esinyanisekileyo. Kananjalo, kwimeko yovavanyo lwabo bantu ngenjongo yokubekwa bucala okanye ukuba ngabalungiseleli, ukuba amatyala abo angagxothwa, ngokuka-Benedict XIV, ukuba nje umntu uyayivuma ngokuzithoba impazamo yakhe xa izisiwe kuye. —UGqr. UMark Miravalle, Isityhilelo sabucala: Ukuqonda ngeCawe, iphe. 21
Abathembekileyo kufuneka bazi "ngeziprofeto ezinemiqathango" apho kuthethwa khona igama eliyinyani, kodwa liyancitshiswa okanye lisuswe ngokuthandaza nokuguqula okanye ngokuthanda kukaThixo, kungangqini ukuba umprofeti unyanisile, kodwa uThixo unamandla onke.
Kwaye ke, ukuthobeka akufuneki kumboni nakwimboni kuphela, kodwa nakwabo bafumana umyalezo. Ngelixa amakholwa ekhululekile ukwala ukutyhilwa ngasese okuvunyiweyo ngokwasenkonzweni, ukuthetha esidlangalaleni ngokuchasene noko kuya kugwetywa. UBenedict XIV ukwangqina ukuba:
Lowo ke kutyhilwe kuye eso sambulo sabucala, emelwe kukukholelwa, athobele lo mthetho, nomyalezo, ukuba ubonakalisiwe kuye, enobungqina obucokisekileyo. Kuba ke uThixo uyathetha nomnye, aze ke amfune. ukukholwa; ngenxa yoko, ukuba uyakholelwa kuThixo, lowo ufuneka ukuba enze njalo. -UbuGcisa bobuNtu, V. III, iphe. 394
Ngeli xesha kwilizwe lethu xa amafu amnyama esichotho evuthuza kwaye ukutshona kwelanga kweli xesha kuyaphela, kufanelekile ukuba simbulele uThixo ngokuba usithumela izibane ezingcwele ukuba zikhanyisele iNdlela yabaninzi abaphambukileyo. Endaweni yokukhawuleza ukugweba abo babizelwe kwezi mishini zingaqhelekanga, kufuneka sicele kuThixo ubulumko bokuqonda ukuba yintoni na yaKhe, kunye nothando lokuthanda abo bangabizwanga.
