Ekohlwayweni okwethutyana

YOKUPHILA yeyona mfundiso isengqiqweni. Kuba nguwuphi na kuthi othanda iNkosi uThixo wethu? zonke iintliziyo zethu, zonke ingqondo yethu, kwaye zonke umphefumlo wethu? Ukubamba intliziyo yomntu, nokuba liqhekeza, okanye ukunika uthando nakoyena mncinane wezithixo, kuthetha ukuba kukho indawo engeyokaThixo, indawo efuna ukucocwa. Nantsi imfundiso yentlambululo-miphefumlo.

Ukuba uThixo uluthando, lonke uthando, ke kuphela olo luthando olupheleleyo nolugqibeleleyo lunokudityaniswa kuye. Ke, ukuze umntu angene umthendeleko opheleleyo noThixo ifuna ubunyulu beentliziyo, iingqondo, kunye nomphefumlo — ibango lobulungisa bukaThixo. Kodwa ngubani onokuba nyulu? Yiyo leyo isipho yenceba kaThixo.

Ukuxolelwa kwesono nokubuyiselwa konxibelelwano noThixo kubandakanya ukuxolelwa kwisohlwayo sanaphakade sesono, kodwa isohlwayo sethutyana sesono sihleli. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1472

Ewe, nguYesu “Uya kuzixolela izono zethu, asihlambulule kuzo zonke izenzo ezimbi” ^[1]cf. 1 Yoh 1: 9 xa sivuma. Njengoko isitsho kwiNdumiso yanamhlanje,

… Intliziyo etyumkileyo ethobekileyo, Thixo, akuyi kuyidela.

Kodwa iGazi likaKristu alisicoci kwezethu okufunwa nguwe. Isakhono sokumthanda ngokupheleleyo sifuna ukusebenzisana kwethu nobabalo, ukusitsalela kwinto engezantsi ukuya kwaphezulu.

… Zonke izono, nokuba zezasekhaya, zibandakanya ukunamathela okungenampilo kwizidalwa, ekufuneka zihlanjululwe nokuba zilapha emhlabeni, okanye emva kokufa kwilizwe elibizwa ngokuba yiPuratory. Oku kuhlanjululwa kukhulula umntu kwinto ebizwa ngokuba "sisohlwayo sethutyana" sesono.-Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1472

Purgatory sisipho sabathembekileyo. I-Purgatory yimeko esisilungiselela uthando, yenza indawo yolonwabo olupheleleyo, kwaye ihlambulule umbono wethu wokubona ubuso bukaThixo.

Ngubani na onokunyuka aye entabeni kaYehova? Ngubani onokuma endaweni yakhe engcwele? "Isandla esicocekileyo nentliziyo esulungekileyo, ongawunikeli umphefumlo wakhe kwizinto ezingenamsebenzi, ililize." (Nd 24: 3-4)

Purgatory, kunjalo, kunjalo hayi ithuba lesibini. Njengoko sifunda kufundo lweMisa kwiveki ephelileyo, ngaphambi kokuba ngamnye kuthi abekho ubomi nokufa, kwaye kufuneka sikhethe ubomi kule nqwelo moya ukunqanda ukufa ngonaphakade kwilixa elizayo. Njengoko uYesu esitsho ngokungaguquki kwiVangeli yanamhlanje, Ekugwetyweni kwabantu baseNineve baya kusuka beze nesi sizukulwana, basigwebe. Umzuzu emva kokufa, ngamnye wethu uya kujongana nomgwebo wethu kunye nethemba lezulu okanye isihogo. Abo bamgatyileyo uThixo kobu bomi baya kuqhubeka benxibe ingubo yabo yokungcola ebumnyameni. Abo babeka ukholo lwabo kuKrestu baya kunxiba ilokhwe yomtshato Sele befumene Ekukhanyeni… kodwa nawaphi na amabala aseleyo okuthanda komhlaba aya kuhlanjululwa kuqala kwiPurigator.

Uninzi lwethu luyaqhula malunga nokuba siza kuba nini kwiPuratory, kodwa andicingi ukuba uYesu uyahleka! Weza ukuze nathi “Yiba nobomi kwaye wonwabe ngakumbi.” ^[2]cf. Yoh 10:10 Uvule ubuncwane bobuThixo ukuze siphile ngethamsanqa ngoku kwaye uphephe iintlungu zoko imeko yokuhlanjululwa Yentlambululo-miphefumlo ngokungena kwangoko ekufeni kubukho baKhe obungunaphakade.

Kuyenzeka ukuba, emhlabeni, ubenokwenyani kwaye ube ngcwele ngokupheleleyo. Ufundo lwanamhlanje lokuqala lungumzekeliso wokuba ungazitshabalalisa njani zonke isohlwayo kuba, inene le yinto uBawo ayinqwenelayo, noKrestu weza kuyenza, kwaye noMoya uya kuwugqiba-ngentumekelelo.

Uguquko oluphuma kwisisa eshushu lunokufumana ucoceko olupheleleyo lomoni ngendlela yokuba kungabikho sohlwayo esiya kuhlala sihleli.… Kufuneka alwele ngemisebenzi yenceba nothando lwenene, nangomthandazo nangeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuzisola, ukukhulula ngokupheleleyo "umntu omdala" aze ambathe "umntu omtsha. " -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-1472, 1473
