MVA nje wadibana neqela lezinye iinkokheli zamaKatolika kunye nabathunywa bevangeli eNtshona Canada. Ngexesha lobusuku bethu bokuqala bokuthandaza phambi kweSigramente Esikelelweyo, isibini sethu ngequbuliso sanqotshwa yintlungu. Amagama afike entliziyweni yam,
UMoya oyiNgcwele ukhathazekile ngenxa yokungabi nambulelo ngamanxeba kaYesu.
Emva kweveki okanye emva koko, umntu endisebenza naye owayengekho nathi wabhala wathi,
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa bendinoluvo lokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uyankqonkqoza, njengokufukamela indalo, ngokungathi sikwixesha elithile lokujika, okanye ekuqaleni kwento enkulu, utshintsho oluthile kwindlela iNkosi ezenza ngayo izinto. Njengokuba ngoku sibona kwiglasi emnyama, kodwa kungekudala siza kubona ngokucacileyo. Phantse ubunzima, njengoMoya ubunzima!
Mhlawumbi le meko yotshintsho esibhakabhakeni kukuba kutheni ndiqhubeka nokuva entliziyweni yam amazwi, “Ngokukhawuleza! Zizaliseni izibane zenu. Kusuka kwibali leentombi ezilishumi eziphume zaya kumkhawulela umyeni (Mat 25: 1-13).
IINKCUKACHA
Iintombi ezilishumi zimela abo babhaptiziweyo. Ezintlanu kwiintombi ezinyulu (uYesu azibiza ngokuthi “zizilumko”) zizisa ioli yezibane zazo; ezinye ezintlanu aziyiphathi ioli, yaye ke zibizwa ngokuba ‘zizidenge. UKrestu uyasilumkisa: ukubhaptizwa akwanelanga. Akwanelanga ukuthi, “Nkosi, Nkosi…” utsho uYesu,
Kuphela ngulowo wenza ukuthanda kukaBawo” oya kungena ezulwini (Mt 7:21).
UYakobi uthi, “Kunceda ntoni na, bazalwana bam, ukuba umntu uthi unokholo, abe imisebenzi ke engenayo?” ( 2:14 ) “Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Enoba yintoni na oyenzele omnye waba bazalwana bam bangabona bancinane, ubuyenzele mna.” ( Mateyu 25:40 ). Eneneni, umntu obhaptiziweyo uzalwa ngokutsha. Kodwa ukuba akaluphenduli olu lubabalo - ukuba ubuyela kwimisebenzi yobumnyama - ufana nalowo ukhoyo uswelekile.
Ke, ioyile kwizibane iphambili UTHANDO.
UNGATHINI UKUBA?
Kodwa ubani usenokuhendelwa ekubeni aphelelwe lithemba ngalo mzuzu: “Kuthekani ukuba ubomi bam ndibuchithele esonweni, ekuzicingeleni nasekusonqeni? Andinamisebenzi mihle! Ngaba selidlulile ixesha lokugcwalisa isibane sam?”
UYesu uphendula lo ngomnye umzekeliso apho umnini-mhlaba ahlawula khona enye umvuzo wosuku kubasebenzi abaqale ekuseni, nakwabo baqale ukusebenza ekupheleni kosuku ngentsimbi yesi-5. Xa owayesakuba ekhalaza, umnini-mhlaba wathi, “Ngaba unomona ngenxa yokuba ndinobubele?” ( Mateyu 20:1-16 )
Elona xesha lisemva kakhulu… kuxa sele kusemva kwexesha: xa imiphunga yakho iyekile ukugcwala kwaye intliziyo yakho iyekile ukumpompa. Ngaphambi nje kokuba afe ngokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni, isela eliguqukileyo laxelelwa nguKristu, “Namhlanje uya kuba nam eparadesi” ( Luka 23:43 ). Komnye umzekeliso, umqokeleli werhafu “owayebawa, enganyanisekanga, ekrexeza . . . wagoduka egwetyelwe” ngenxa yokuvuma kwakhe: “Owu Thixo, yiba nenceba kum mna moni” ( Luka 18:13 ). Usindiso lwafika endlwini kaZakeyu owathi nje wamthi krwaqu uYesu (Luka 19:2-9). Nonyana wolahleko wawolwa nguyise endleleni yenkwenkwe ukucela uxolelo (Lk 15: 11-32).
UKHOLO — UMAGnethi Wenceba
Embindini woguqulo ngalunye “lomzuzu wokugqibela” lu ukholo-Ayimisebenzi elungileyo.
Kuba nisindiswe ngokubabalwa nangalo ukholo; Sisipho sikaThixo eso; akuveli kwimisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho namnye uqhayisayo. (Kwabase-Efese 2: 8)
Kodwa kuyacaca ngokulinganayo ukuba olu kholo yafuduka umamkeli ngamnye enguqukweni; Oko kukuthi, bakhethe ukushiya ngasemva ubomi babo bakudala balandele ubomi bokuziphatha okuhle obulandelayo ukulandela uKristu. Bachukunyiswa ngu uthando. Izibane zabo zazala zaphuphuma luthando uThixo awayeluthululele kubo (KwabaseRoma 5:5). Ngoko ke, ngenxa yokuba “uthando lugubungela inkitha yezono” ( 1 Pt 4:8 ), basindiswa ngokwenene.
Ububele benceba kaThixo buyachukumisa.
Kodwa ke nobulungisa baKhe. Le mizekelo, ndiyakholelwa, ibhekisa ngakumbi kubahedeni, hayi kubhaptiziweyo. Thina sizivileyo iiVangeli, ezineeSakramente eminwe yethu, esingcamle saza sabona ukuba iNkosi ilungile… siyintoni isizathu sethu?
Uphulukene nothando owawunalo kuqala… Khumbula ke ukuba wamkele kwaye weva njani; gcina, uguquke. Ukuba awulindanga, ndiza kuza njengesela, kwaye ngekhe ulazi ilixa endokufikela ngalo. (ISityhi. 2: 2: 4, 3: 3)
Kuthi ngokukodwa amazwi kaYakobi ayasebenza: “Umntu ugwetyelwa ngokwasemisebenzini, kungabi ngokwaselukholweni lodwa” (2:24).
Ndiyayazi imisebenzi yakho; Ndiyazi ukuba awubandi, ungeshushu... Ngoko ke, ngenxa yokuba udikidiki… Ndiza kukutshica uphume emlonyeni wam.” ( ISityhi. 3:15-16 )
Ukholo ngaphandle kwemisebenzi lufile. ( Yakobi 2:26 )
UYesu ulandela esi silumkiso kwiZityhilelo esithi, “Kuba uthi,Ndisisityebi kwaye ndicebile kwaye andidingi nto” ( 3:17 ). Kumzekeliso weentombi, ithi bona zonke Ndiye ndalala. Ngaba oku, mhlawumbi, bubuthongo obuye baziswa bubutyebi nobutyebi kwiicawa zaseYurophu nezaseNtshona? “Qonda ukuba uwe kangakanani na!” (2: 5)
Kumzekeliso weentombi ezinyulu, ezinzulwini zobusuku zazingathethi ukuza kwakamsinya kukaKristu; kwakusekho ixesha elifutshane lokulibaziseka. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba eli isenokuba lixesha esingena ngalo (nokuba lide kangakanani na elo xesha). Okucacileyo, kukuba ezo “ntombi zinyulu” zazilungiselela ityala kwangaphambili, ngabo benza kwitheko lomtshato.
Yiva kwakhona amazwi kaJohn Paul II:
Sukoyika! Zivuleleni iintliziyo zenu kuYesu Krestu!
NGOKU lixesha lokuguqa ngamadolo, ukukhupha iintliziyo zethu kuso sonke isono, kwaye mabazaliswe kwakhona luthando lukaThixo- ukunika olo thando kubamelwane bethu… ukuba izibane zethu zingafunyanwa zingenanto.
Kuba iwotshi inokuba sele ifuna ukubetha ezinzulwini zobusuku.
Owu, ukuba ninokuliva namhlanje ilizwi lakhe, 'Musani ukuzenza lukhuni iintliziyo zenu… (Heb. 3: 7)
