Ukubuyela kwiZiko lethu

NINI Inqanawe ishiya ikhosi ngedigri okanye ezimbini kuphela, ayiqapheleki kude kube ngamakhulu aliqela eemayile zolwandle kamva. Ngokunjalo, i Ibarque kaPeter uye waphambuka ngandlel 'ithile ebudeni beenkulungwane. Ngamazwi kaKhadinali Newman osikelelekileyo:

USathana unokusebenzisa ezona zixhobo zoyikekayo zobuqhetseba—angazifihla—angazama ukusilukuhla kwizinto ezincinci, aze ke ngoko ashukumise iBandla, hayi konke ngaxeshanye, kodwa kancinci kancinci kwisikhundla salo sokwenyani. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba wenze lukhulu ngolu hlobo kwezi nkulungwane zimbalwa zidlulileyo… Ngumgaqo-nkqubo wakhe ukusahlula nokusahlula, ukusisusa ngokuthe ngcembe kwilitye lethu lokomelela. Kwaye ukuba kuya kubakho intshutshiso, mhlawumbi koba ngoko; ngoko, mhlawumbi, xa sonke sisonke kuzo zonke iindawo zeNgqobhoko sahlulelene, sincitshiswe, sizele iyantlukwano, sisondelelene kakhulu noqhekeko.. —UCardinal osikelelekileyo uJohn Henry Newman, INtshumayelo IV: Ukutshutshiswa komchasi-Kristu

UYesu liliwa lamandla ethu. Akayiyo imvelaphi nenkokeli yethu kuphela, kodwa injongo yethu. Kwaye kweli ziko-kufuneka sivume ngovavanyo olucacileyo noluqiqiweyo-simke sisonke…

UKUBULAZA ILIZWI LIKATHIXO

Kutshanje ndiye ndathetha nenye indoda eqeqeshelwa idiaconate. Unokholo olomeleleyo, inzondelelo ephilileyo, nentliziyo ngoKristu. Wathi: “Kodwa njengoko ndifundisisa ngemfundiso yezakwalizwi ecwangcisiweyo efundiswa eklasini yethu,” watsho “kukho into engaqhelekanga eyenzekayo. Ndifumanisa ukuba oko kushiya ilize entliziyweni yam njengoko uKristu esiba yintloko.” Wahlabela mgama ecacisa isizathu sokuba, kukuba inkqubo yezakwalizwi yenkululeko esetyenziswayo ibhekisela kuKristu nakwiBhayibhile njengezinto zembali ezimele zihlalutywe, kunokuba zihlalutywe. iimfihlelo eziphilayo ukuqondwa ngcono.

Njengoko wayendixelela ngamava akhe, angqina oko ndikuvile kubefundisi kangangeminyaka emininzi abavela kumazwe aliqela. Umhlobo wam, uFr. UKyle Dave waseLouisiana, wachitha iiveki eziliqela nam eKhanada emva kokuba inkanyamba uKatrina yonakalisa icawa yakhe. Ebudeni belo xesha, sasithandaza size sifunde iZibhalo kunye. Andinakuze ndiyilibale indlela awathi ngayo ngequbuliso ngenye imini, “Thixo wam, ezi Zibhalo zinjalo phila! Nguye ILizwi likaThixo eliphilileyo. Kwisikolo sobufundisi, safundiswa ukuba sifunde iZibhalo ngokungathi zizinto zaselabhoratri eza kucandwa zize zinqunyulwe!”

Eneneni, omnye umfundisi oselula waseMzantsi Merika wandixelela indlela yena nabahlobo bakhe ababekulambele ngayo ukuba ziingcwele. Bagqiba ekubeni babe ngabefundisi ukuze baphendule unxano lwemiphefumlo yabo. Wagqiba ekubeni athathe uqeqesho lwakhe lwezakwalizwi kwiziko likaJohn Paul II ngelixa abahlobo bakhe baya eRoma ukuya kufunda kwiYunivesithi yaseSt. Thomas Aquinas. Wabalisa ngendlela, emva kokuba abahlobo bakhe bephumelele, “abanye kubo babengasakholelwa kwaukukholelwa kuThixo.” Oko yaba IVatican yunivesithi.

Ndakhe ndabuza omnye umfundisi okwi-Basilian order ukuba bakha bayifunda na imfundo yokomoya yabangcwele kwisikolo sabefundisi. “Akunjalo konke konke,” waphendula ngelitshoyo. "Yayisisifundo ngokupheleleyo."

Umfanekiso uyenziwa apha. Ichaza ukuba kutheni amaKatolika amaninzi ekhalaza malunga nezindlu ezingakhuthaziyo kunye neentshumayelo ezingenanto phezu kwe kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu edlulileyo: Ukuqiqa bungene ububingeleli obungcwele nakuzo zonke izinto ezizezemfihlelo. Kuba uninzi lwabo lwafundiswa ukuba...

… Nanini na xa into yobuthixo ibonakala ikho, kufuneka icaciswe ngenye indlela, kuncitshiswe yonke into kubuntu… Isimo esinjalo singangqina ukuba siyingozi kubomi beCawa, siphose ukuthandabuza iimfihlelo ezisisiseko zobuKristu nembali yazo— njengoko, umzekelo, ukusekwa kwe-Ekaristi kunye nokuvuka kukaKristu… -POPE BENEDICT XVI, Inkuthazo yabapostile-yeSinodi, I-Verbum Domini, n. 34

Kwaye oku “kwahlulwa kuyinyumba”, utshilo uBenedict, ngamanye amaxesha kuye kwadala “umqobo phakathi kwe-exegesis (ukutolika kwebhayibhile) kunye nezakwalizwi kwanawona manqanaba aphezulu emfundo. Isiqhamo soku, ngokuyinxenye, kukuba:

Iintsapho eziqhelekileyo nezicacileyo ezisitha ukuthe ngqo kwelizwi likaThixo... —Ibhid. n. 59

Ingongoma apha asikokugxeka amakhaya kodwa kuchongwe indlela ingqiqo eyiqhubele phambili ngayo iCawe kude nangaphezulu kuthando olunzulu, lobuqu, nolunenzondelelo ngoYesu Kristu oluphawu lweCawa yokuqala nabangcwele ukutyhubela iinkulungwane. Kodwa makhe ndichaze okucacileyo: babengcwele ngokuchanekileyo kuba babenothando olunzulu, lobuqu, nolunenzondelelo yeNkosi.

UKUBUYELA KUYESU

Kukho into entle eyenzekayo kolu khenketho lwekonsathi lwangoku, kwaye ndiyibona emehlweni abo bebekho. Kukho ukulambela iVangeli, ngenxa engaxutywanga, ecacileyo, kwaye ilizwi eliphilileyo kaThixo. Phakathi kweengoma, bendithetha nabaphulaphuli malunga nokwenzakala kwethu okuqhelekileyo kule yure, ngenyaniso ebhangayo, uthando lukaBawo olungagungqiyo, imfuneko yokuVuma, kunye nobukho bukaYesu kuthi, ngakumbi kwi-Ekaristi. ilizwi, i Kubapostile ukholo. Omnye umfundisi waseAfrika wathi kum, “Le nto iphantse yafana nemvuselelo!”

Ngaxa lithile kolu khenketho, ndeva amazwi eVangeli kaMateyu ehlaba entliziyweni yam:

Zathi ke, zakuzibona izihlwele, wasikwa yimfesane zizo, ngokuba zibe zibandezelekile, zilahliwe njengezimvu ezingenamalusi. ( Mateyu 9:36 )

Ewe, kukho uluvo lokuba kukho a imvuselelo iyeza. Imvuselelo yamaKatolika! Kodwa hayi ukuba bangaphi abacinga ngeentente, iikhamera zikamabonwakude, neepowusta ezinemibalabala. Kunoko, iza kuza ngokuhlutywa kude neyantlukwano, uqhekeko, nokuba dikidiki okuthe kwayisusa iCawa kwiHlabathi laseNtshona. Iya kuza ngentshutshiso. Kwaye iya kushiya ngasemva iCawe encinci enyulu, enomdla, negxile kuKristu enenkxalabo enye kuphela: ukuthanda uThixo ngentliziyo, ingqondo, nomphefumlo wabo uphela. Iya kuba liBandla eliya kuqaphela iNkosi yalo kwakhona kwiiSakramente, eliya kushumayela iZibhalo ngenzondelelo yobuPostile, kunye neBandla eliya kusebenzisa ngamandla nangamandla amakhankaso kaMoya oyiNgcwele IPentekoste entsha.

Ndicinga kwakhona ngeso siprofeto sinikwe eRoma phambi koPope Paul VI ngoMeyi, 1975 ngePentekoste ngoMvulo:

Kuba ndikuthanda, ndifuna ukukubonisa into endiyenzayo emhlabeni namhlanje. Ndifuna ukunilungiselela into ezayo. Imihla yobumnyama iyeza ehlabathini, imihla yembandezelo… Izakhiwo ezimiyo ngoku azisayi kuma. Iinkxaso ezikhoyo ngoku abantu bam aziyi kubakho. Ndifuna nizilungiselele, bantu bam, nazi mna kuphela kwaye ninamathele kum kwaye nibe nam ngendlela enzulu kunangaphambili. Ndiya kukukhokelela entlango… Ndiza kukuhluba yonke into othembele ngayo ngoku, ngoko uxhomekeke kum nje. Ixesha lobumnyama liyeza ehlabathini, kodwa ixesha lozuko liyeza eBandleni lam, ixesha lozuko liza kubantu bam. Ndiya kuthululela phezu kwenu zonke izipho zoMoya wam. Ndiza kunilungiselela umlo womoya; Ndizakukulungiselela ixesha lovangelo elingazange libonwe lihlabathi…. Kwaye xa ungenanto ngaphandle kwam, uya kuba nayo yonke into: umhlaba, amasimi, amakhaya, abazalwana noodade kunye nothando novuyo noxolo kunanini na ngaphambili. Lungisani bantu bam, ndifuna ukunilungiselela... —ithethwe nguRalph Martin eSt. Peter’s Square

Ndiyakholelwa ukuba lo ngowona msebenzi uphambili kaMama wethu osikelelekileyo kule yure: ukunceda abantwana bakhe bathandane kwakhona noNyana wakhe, ophinda kuthi namhlanje:

Ndinale nto ngakuwe: ulahlekelwe luthando owawunalo ekuqaleni. Qonda ukuba uwe kangakanani na. Guquka, wenze imisebenzi owayenzayo kuqala… (ISityhi 2:4-5)

Kwaye olu thando luyenziwa, lubonakaliswe, kwaye lutshintshiselwane umthandazo. Isibongozo sikaMama esilula ukuba “Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza” mhlawumbi sesona sibongozo silumkileyo wakha wasinika kwimibono yakhe. Kuba emthandazweni, sidibana noThixo ophilayo onika iimfihlo zentliziyo yaKhe, afake izidima, aze aphalaze uthando oluguqula ukusuka eluzukweni ukuya eluzukweni. Imfihlelo yabangcwele yayikukuba babengamadoda nabafazi bomthandazo onzulu nowenyani abathi ngawo bamiliselwe kuYesu Krestu. INkosi yethu ngokwayo yayisoloko ithandaza kuBawo, kwaye abapostile bamxelisa nje. Asinakuze simfumane uYesu, iZiko lethu, ngaphandle kokuba siphinde sibe ngamadoda nabafazi bomthandazo. Ngale nto andithethi abantu abathetha izinto ezininzi kodwa bathanda uThixo ngokusuka entliziyweni. Umthandazo ke uba yincoko nje elula phakathi kwabahlobo, ukwangana phakathi kwezithandani, ukuthula kothando phakathi komntwana noYise.

Ingakanani into endifuna ukuyibhala! Kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo, uThixo wathetha ngokucacileyo entliziyweni yam njengoko ndandicinga ukuyishiya iCawa yamaKatolika:

Hlalani nibe kukukhanya kubazalwana benu.

Ngoko ke mandikhwaze nabani na oya kuva: ukuba unqwenela ukuzaliseka, ukuba unqwenela ukuphiliswa, ukuba unqwenela ukwaneliseka, thandana noYesu! Cela uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba akuzalise ngoku, akuguqule, akuhlaziye, akuvuse, akunike ukulambela nokunxanelwa iLizwi likaThixo. Funda iBhayibhile. Thatha kwiMithendeleko rhoqo. Cima iTV (okanye ikhompyutha), cinga ngezinto ezingentla, hayi ngaphantsi, kwaye “Musani ukuyilungiselela inkanuko yenyama.” ^[1]cf. Roma 13:14; bona kwakho I-Tiger kwi-Cage Ke uThixo woxolo onguKhanya noMlilo uya kuyivuthisa intliziyo yakho, akwenze ungabi nguMpostile wale mihla yokugqibela kuphela, kodwa ube ngumhlobo nesithandwa.

Umphefumlo onjalo uya kuba a ephilayo Idangatye loThando ukuze kuthi, ngoYesu Kristu, avuthe ihlabathi ngomlilo ngobukho bukaThixo...
