Ubomi buhlala bulungile.
Le yimbono yethuku kunye nenyaniso yamava,
kwaye umntu ubizelwa ukuba abambe isizathu esinzulu sokuba kube njalo.
Kutheni ubomi bulungile?
—IIPOPE ST. UYOHANE PAUL II,
U-Evangelium Vitae, 34
INTONI kwenzeka ezingqondweni zabantu xa inkcubeko yabo - a inkcubeko yokufa — ibazisa ukuba ubomi bomntu abukho nje ukulahlwa kodwa kuyabonakala ukuba bubungendawo obukhoyo emhlabeni? Kwenzeka ntoni kwingqondo yabantwana kunye nabaselula abaxelelwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba bayimveliso nje engalindelekanga, ukuba ubukho babo "bugqithise" umhlaba, ukuba "i-carbon footprint" yabo yonakalisa iplanethi? Kwenzeka ntoni kubantu abadala okanye abagulayo xa bexelelwa ukuba imiba yabo yezempilo ixabisa kakhulu “inkqubo”? Kwenzeka ntoni kulutsha olukhuthazwa ukuba lwale isini salo semvelo? Kwenzeka ntoni kwinkangeleko kabani xa ukuxabiseka kwabo kuchazwa, kungekhona sisidima esizalwa nabo kodwa ngemveliso yabo?
Ukuba oko kwathethwa nguPope St. John Paul II kuyinyani, ukuba siphila kwisahluko se-12 seNcwadi yeSityhilelo (bona Iintlungu Zabasebenzi: Ukuchithwa Kwabemi?) - ke ndiyakholwa ukuba iSt
iimpendulo malunga nokuba kwenzeka ntoni kubantu abaye baphathwa kakubi ngolu hlobo:
Qonda oku: Kuya kubakho amaxesha amanqam ngemihla yokugqibela. Abantu baya kuba ngabazingcayo nabathandi bemali, abanekratshi, abanekratshi, abatshabhisi, abangathobeli bazali, abangenambulelo, abangahloneli Thixo, abangenanceba, abangenatarhu, abahlebi, abarheletya, abakhohlakeleyo, abathiye okulungileyo, abangcatshi, abangakhathaliyo, abakratshi, abathandi beziyolo. kunokuba bathande uThixo, njengoko bezenza ngathi banqula kodwa bewakhanyela amandla alo. (2 Tim 3: 1-5)
Abantu babonakala belusizi kum kule mihla. Ngoko ke bambalwa abazithwala “ngentlantsi.” Kuba ngathi ukukhanya kukaThixo kuphume kwimiphefumlo emininzi (bona Ikhandlela elitshisayo).
… Kwiindawo ezinkulu zehlabathi ukholo lusemngciphekweni wokutshabalala njengelangatye elingasenayo ipetroli. —Ileta yobungcwele bakhe UPOPE BENEDICT XVI eya kubo Bonke ooBhishophu Behlabathi, ngoMatshi 12, 2009
Yaye oku akufanele kusimangalise, kuba njengoko isithethe sokufa sisasaza isigidimi salo esithobayo ukusa eziphelweni zomhlaba, ngoko nemvakalelo yabantu yokuxabiseka nenjongo iyancipha.
... ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi. (Mat 24:12)
Nangona kunjalo, kobu bumnyama kanye apho thina balandeli bakaYesu sibizelwe ukuba sikhanye njengeenkwenkwezi... [1]UPhil 2: 14-16
Ukubuyisela Isidima Sethu
Emva kokubeka a umfanekiso wesiprofeto okhathazayo yeyona ndlela yokugqibela “yenkcubeko yokufa”, uPope St. John Paul II naye wanikela isithintelo. Uqala ngokubuza lo mbuzo: Kutheni ubomi bulungile?
Lo mbuzo ufumaneka kuyo yonke indawo eBhayibhileni, yaye kwasekuqaleni kwamaphepha ufumana impendulo enamandla nemangalisayo. Ubomi uThixo abunika umntu bahluke ngokupheleleyo kubomi bazo zonke ezinye izidalwa eziphilayo, njengokuba umntu, nangona ebunjwe ngothuli lomhlaba. (cf. Gen 2:7, 3:19; Yobhi 34:15; Nd 103:14; 104:29 ), yimbonakaliso kaThixo ehlabathini, umqondiso wobukho bakhe, umkhondo wozuko lwakhe (Thelekisa Gen 1:26-27; Nd 8:6 ). Yiloo nto u-Saint Irenaeus waseLyons wayefuna ukuyigxininisa kwinkcazo yakhe edumileyo: "Umntu, indoda ephilayo, luzuko lukaThixo". —IIPOPE ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, U-Evangelium Vitae, n. I-34
Vumela la mazwi abonakale kumbindi wobuntu bakho. "Awulingani" kunye ne-slugs kunye neenkawu; awuyomveliso yendaleko; wena akusiyo isibetho phezu komhlaba... uyingcinga ephambili kunye nencopho yendalo kaThixo, “incopho yomsebenzi kaThixo wokudala, njengesithsaba sayo,” watsho ongasekhoyo oNgcwele.[2]U-Evangelium Vitae, n. I-34 Khangela phezulu, mphefumlo othandekayo, jonga esipilini kwaye ubone inyaniso yokuba into edalwe nguThixo "ilunge kakhulu" (Genesis 1:31).
Ukuqiniseka, isono Unayo kwasonakalisa sonke ukusa kumlinganiselo othile. Ukwaluphala, imibimbi nezimvi zisisikhumbuzo nje sokuba “olokugqibela utshaba oluya kubhangiswa kukufa.”[3]I-1 Cor 15: 26 kodwa 
Ixabiso kunye nesidima sethu asisoze saguga! Ngaphezu koko, bambi basenokuba bafumana imizila yemfuza enesiphako okanye batyhefwe esibelekweni ngenxa yamandla angaphandle, okanye benzakaliswe ngengozi. Nkqu “izono ezisixhenxe ezibulalayo” esiye sazifumana (umzekelo. inkanuko, ubudlakudla, ubuvila, njl.njl.) ziyonakalisa imizimba yethu.
Kodwa ukudalwa "ngokomfanekiso kaThixo" kudlulela ngaphaya kweetempile zethu:
Umbhali webhayibhile ubona njengenxalenye yalo mfanekiso kungekuphela nje kulawulo lomntu phezu kwehlabathi kodwa kwanaloo mandla omoya angabantu ngokwahlukileyo, anjengengqiqo, ukucalula phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi, nenkululeko yokuzikhethela: “Wabazalisa ngokwazi nokuqonda; wababonisa okulungileyo nokubi” (UMhlekazi 17:7). Amandla okufumana inyaniso nenkululeko ngamalungelo abantu njengoko umntu edalwe ngokomfanekiselo woMdali wakhe, uThixo oyinyaniso nosesikweni. (Thelekisa iDuteronomi 32:4 ). Umntu yedwa, phakathi kwazo zonke izidalwa ezibonakalayo, “okwaziyo nokuthanda uMdali wakhe”. -U-Evangelium Vitae, 34
Ukuthandwa Kwakhona
Ukuba uthando lwabaninzi luye lwaphola ehlabathini, yindima yamaKristu ukubuyisela olo thando kwiindawo esihlala kuzo. Intlekele kunye lockdowns ukuziphatha okubi ye-COVID-19 yenza umonakalo ngokwenkqubo kubudlelwane babantu. Abaninzi abakachacha kwaye bahlala besoyika; iyantlukwano yandiswe kuphela ngemidiya yoluntu kunye notshintshiselwano olukrakra kwi-Intanethi oludubule iintsapho kude kube namhlanje.
Bazalwana noodade, uYesu ujonge kuwe nam ukuba siphilise ezi ntandabuzo, ukuba a ilangatye lothando phakathi kwamalahle enkcubeko yethu. Buvume ubukho bomnye, ubabulise ngoncumo, ubajonge emehlweni, “phulaphula umphefumlo womnye ubekho,” njengoko uMkhonzi kaThixo uCatherine Doherty esitsho. Elona nyathelo lokuqala lokuvakalisa iVangeli lifana nelo uYesu walithabathayo: Wayelula nje isipho kwabo babemngqongile (kangangeminyaka engamashumi amathathu) ngaphambi kokuba Aqalise ukuvakaliswa kweVangeli.
Kwesi sithethe sokufa, esisijike saba ngabasemzini kwaneentshaba, sisenokuhendeka ukuba sibe krakra ngokwethu. Kufuneka sixhathise eso sihendo sokugxeka kwaye sikhethe indlela yothando noxolelo. Kwaye le asiyo "Ndlela" eqhelekileyo. Yi intlantsi yobuThixo leyo inako ukutshisa omnye umphefumlo.
Umntu wasemzini akasengowasemzini kumntu ofanele abe ngummelwane womntu osweleyo, ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba amkele imbopheleleko ngobomi bakhe, njengoko umzekeliso womSamariya Olungileyo ubonisa ngokucacileyo. (cf. Lk 10: 25-37). Kwanotshaba luyayeka ukuba lutshaba kumntu onyanzelekileyo ukuba aluthande (Thelekisa uMateyu 5:38-48; Luka 6:27-35 ), “ukwenza okulungileyo” kuye (Thelekisa uLuka 6:27, 33, 35 ) kunye nokusabela kwiimfuno zakhe ezingxamisekileyo ngokukhawuleza ngaphandle kokulindela imbuyekezo (Thelekisa uLuka 6:34-35 ). Ukuphakama kolu thando kukuthandazela utshaba lomntu. Ngokwenza oko sifumana imvisiswano nothando olunothando lukaThixo: “Ke mna ndithi kuni, Zithandeni iintshaba zenu, nibathandazele abo banitshutshisayo, ukuze nibe ngabantwana boYihlo osemazulwini; ngokuba elenza ilanga lakhe liphume phezu kwabakhohlakeleyo nabalungileyo nemvula eyinisa phezu kwabalungisayo nabangalungisiyo.” ( Mat 5:44-45 ; thelekisa uLuka 6:28, 35 ). -U-Evangelium Vitae, n. I-34
Kufuneka sizityhale ukuba soyise uloyiko lwethu lokwaliwa kunye nentshutshiso, uloyiko oluhlala luthwalwa kumanxeba ethu (osenokufuna ukuphiliswa—bona. UkuBuyela kokuPhilisa.)
Into ekufuneka isinike isibindi nangona kunjalo, kukuqonda, nokuba bayayivuma okanye abayivumi, loo nto zonke Umntu ulangazelela ukudibana noThixo ngendlela yobuqu… ukuva ukuphefumlela kwakhe phezu kwabo njengoko u-Adam wazivayo eGadini.
UYehova uThixo wambumba umntu ngothuli lwasemhlabeni, wavuthela impefumlo yobomi emathatheni akhe; umntu ke waba ngumphefumlo ophilileyo. (IGenesis 2:7)
Imvelaphi engokobuthixo yalo moya wobomi ichaza ukungoneliseki okuhlala kuhleli umntu akuvayo kuyo yonke imihla yakhe emhlabeni. Ngenxa yokuba wenziwe nguThixo yaye ngaphakathi kuye unomfanekiso ongacimekiyo kaThixo, umntu ngokwemvelo utsaleleka kuThixo. Xa ethobela eyona minqweno inzulu yentliziyo, wonke umntu kufuneka enze awakhe amazwi enyaniso avakaliswe nguSaint Augustine: “Usenzela wena, Yehova, zaza iintliziyo zethu ziyazola de ziphumle kuwe.” -U-Evangelium Vitae, n. I-35
Yiba njalo umoya,umntwana kaThixo. Yiba bubushushu boncumo olulula, ukwanga, isenzo sobubele nesisa, kuquka isenzo xolelo. Masijonge abanye emehlweni namhlanje kwaye bazive isidima sabo sokuba badalwe nje ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo. Le nyaniso kufuneka iguqule iingxoxo zethu, ukuphendula kwethu, ukuphendula kwethu kwenye. Oku ngokwenene counter-inguquko ukuba ihlabathi lethu lifuna ngamandla ukuliguqula kwakhona libe yindawo yenyaniso, ubuhle, kunye nokulunga - ekubeni "inkcubeko yobomi."
Sinikwe amandla nguMoya, kwaye sisebenzisa umbono otyebileyo wokholo, isizukulwana esitsha samaKristu siyabizwa ukuba sincedise ekwakheni umhlaba apho isipho sikaThixo sobomi samkelwa, sihlonitshwe kwaye sigcinwa… Ixesha elitsha apho ithemba lisikhulula khona, ukungakhathali, kunye nokuzifunxa ngokwakho okubulala imiphefumlo yethu kunye nokonakalisa ubudlelwane bethu. INkosi ifuna ukuba nibe njalo Abaprofeti Yeli xesha litsha… -I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, iKhaya leSizwe loLutsha, eSydney, e-Australia, nge-20 kaJulayi ka-2008
Masibe ngabo baprofeti!
