PHA Kuyincoko kakhulu kule mihla phakathi kwentsalela yamaKatolika malunga “neendawo zokuhlala” - iindawo ezibonakalayo zokhuseleko lobuthixo. Kuyaqondakala, njengoko kungaphakathi kumthetho wendalo ukuba sifune phila, ukuphepha intlungu nokubandezeleka. Iziphelo zemithambo-luvo emzimbeni wethu zityhila ezi nyaniso. Kwaye kunjalo, kusekho inyaniso ephezulu: ukuba usindiso lwethu luyadlula uMnqamlezo. Ngaloo ndlela, intlungu kunye nokubandezeleka ngoku kuthatha ixabiso lokukhulula, kungekhona nje imiphefumlo yethu kodwa neyabanye njengoko sizalisa. “Okusileleyo kwiimbandezelo zikaKristu, ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, olibandla” (Kol 1: 24).Qhubekeka ukufunda →

AS NjengeCanada, ngamanye amaxesha ndihlekisa abahlobo bam baseMelika ngombono wabo "we-Amero-centric" welizwe kunye neZibhalo. Kubo, iNcwadi yeSityhilelo kunye neziprofeto zayo zentshutshiso kunye nentlekele zizinto ezizayo. Akunjalo ukuba ungomnye wezigidi ezizingelwayo okanye sele ugxothiwe kwikhaya lakho eMbindi Mpuma naseAfrika apho amaqela amaSilamsi ahlasela amaKristu. Akunjalo ukuba ungomnye wezigidi obeka ubomi bakho emngciphekweni kwiCawe engaphantsi komhlaba e-China, North Korea nakwamanye amazwe. Akunjalo ukuba ungomnye wabo bajamelana nokufela ukholo yonke imihla ngenxa yokholo lwakho kuKristu. Kubo, kufuneka bazive sele bephila kwiphepha le-Apocalypse. Qhubekeka ukufunda →

I-ST. UBasil wabhala ukuba,

Phakathi kweengelosi, abanye babekwe ukuba baphathe izizwe, abanye ngamaqabane abathembekileyo… -IAdversus Eunomium, 3: 1; Iingelosi kunye Nemishini Yazo, UJean Daniélou, SJ, iphe. 68

Sibona umthetho-siseko weengelosi phezu kwezizwe kwiNcwadi kaDaniel apho uthetha "ngenkosana yasePersi", eyingelosi enkulu uMikayeli eza kulwa nayo. [1]cf. Dan 10:20 Kule meko, inkosana yasePersi ibonakala iyinqaba kaSathana yengelosi ewileyo.

Ingelosi engumlindi yeNkosi "ikhusela umphefumlo njengomkhosi," watsho uSt. Gregory waseNyssa, "ukuba asimgxothi ngenxa yesono." [2]Iingelosi kunye Nemishini Yazo, UJean Daniélou, SJ, iphe. 69 Oko kukuthi, isono esinzulu, unqulo-zithixo, okanye ukubandakanyeka ngabom kubugqi kunokushiya umntu esengozini kwiidemon. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba, kwenzeka ntoni kumntu ozivulela imimoya emdaka, inokwenzeka nakwisizwe? Ukufundwa kweMisa yanamhlanje kubolekisa ukuqonda.

ULote obaleka iSodom, UBenjamin West, ngo-1810

 

THE amaza okudideka, intlekele, kunye nokungaqiniseki zibetha eminyango yazo zonke izizwe ezisemhlabeni. Njengokuba amaxabiso okutya kunye nepetroli enyuka kwaye uqoqosho lwehlabathi luyatshona njenge-ankile kulwandle, kuyathethwa kakhulu zokufihla—Indawo ezikhuselekileyo zokujongana noqhwithela. Kodwa kukho umngcipheko ojamelene namanye amaKristu namhlanje, kwaye oko kukuwela kumoya wokuzikhusela oya uxhaphaka ngakumbi. Iiwebhusayithi ze-Survivalist, iintengiso zeekiti zongxamiseko, iijenreyitha zamandla, abapheki bokutya, kunye negolide kunye nesilivere iminikelo… uloyiko kunye neparanoia namhlanje ziyabonakala njengamakhowa okungazithembi. Kodwa uThixo ubizela abantu baKhe kumoya owahlukileyo kunowo wehlabathi. Umoya wokungagungqi ukuthembela.

Phuma eBhabheli!

“Isixeko Esimdaka” by UDan Krall

 

 

SINE Kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, ndeva igama elinamandla emthandazweni ebelikhula kutshanje ngamandla. Kwaye ke, kufuneka ndithethe ngokusuka entliziyweni amazwi endiva kwakhona:

Phuma eBhabheli!

IBhabheli ifuzisela inkcubeko yesono kunye nokuzitika. U-Kristu ubiza abantu baKhe baphume kwesi sixeko, baphume edyokhweni yomoya yelixesha, baphume ekuwohlokeni, ekuthandeni izinto eziphathekayo, nakwiminqweno yenkanuko ethe yaxhuma imijelo yayo, yaza yaphuphuma ezintliziyweni nasemakhayeni abantu baKhe.

Emva koko ndeva elinye ilizwi liphuma ezulwini lisithi: “Mkani kuyo, bantu bam, ukuze ungathathi nxaxheba ezonweni zayo, ungabi nanxaxheba kwizibetho zayo, kuba izono zayo zifunjelwe ezulwini. 18)

“Yena” kwesi sicatshulwa seZibhalo yi “Bhabhiloni,” uPapa Benedict usandul 'ukuyitolika njengo…

… Uphawu lweedolophu ezinkulu ezingakholwayo… —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Idilesi eya kwiRoyal Curia, nge-20 kaDisemba ka-2010

KwisiTyhilelo, waseBhabheli ngequbuliso iwe:

Iwile, iwile iBhabheli enkulu. Uye waba likhaya leedemon. Uvalelwe yonke imimoya engcolileyo, indlwana yentaka yonke eyinqambi, indlwana yazo zonke izilwanyana ezingcolileyo nezenyanyekayo…Yeha, yeha, isixeko esikhulu, iBhabheli, isixeko esinamandla. Ngelixa elinye umgwebo wakho ufikile. (ISityhi. 18: 2, 10)

Kwaye ke isilumkiso: 

Phuma eBhabheli!
