PHA lincinci "ngoku igama" ebelihleli kwiingcinga zam iminyaka, ukuba ayingamashumi eminyaka. Kwaye eso sisidingo esikhulayo soluntu lwamaKristu oluyinyani. Ngelixa sineeSakramente ezisixhenxe eCaweni, ezi "zidibana" neNkosi, ndiyakholelwa ukuba umntu angathetha "ngomthendeleko wesibhozo" osekwe kwimfundiso ka Yesu:
Kuba apho bahlanganisene khona egameni lam, nokuba babini nokuba bathathu, ndikho mna apho phakathi kwabo. (Mat 18: 20)
Apha, andithethi ngokuthetha ngeeparishi zethu zamaKatolika, ezihlala zikhulu kwaye zingenabuntu, kwaye ndinyanisekile, ayisoloko iyindawo yokuqala umntu afumana amaKristu asemlilweni ngenxa kaKristu. Endaweni yokuba ndithethe ngemimandla emincinci yokholo apho ahlala khona u Yesu, ethandwa, efunwa emva.
UKUDIBANA KWETHANDO
Emuva phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1990, ndaqala ubufundisi bomculo ndinelizwi entliziyweni yam ukuba Umculo ngumnyango wokuhambisa ivangeli. ” Ibhendi yethu ayizange iqhelisele kuphela, kodwa sasithandaza, sidlala, kwaye sithandana. Kwakungale nto apho sonke siqubisane nenguquko enzulu kunye nomnqweno wobungcwele.
Kwangoko ngaphambi kweminyhadala yethu, besihlala sihlangana phambi kweSigramente esikelelekileyo simnqula nje kwaye simthande uYesu. Kwakungelinye lala maxesha apho umfana ongumBhaptizi wenza isigqibo sokuba ngumKatolika. Undixelele ukuba, "ibingezoziganeko zingako, kodwa yindlela owathandaza ngayo nowamthanda ngayo uYesu phambi kwe-Ekaristi." Kamva wayeza kungena kwisikolo sabefundisi.
Kude kube namhla, nangona kudala sahlukana ngeendlela, sonke siyawakhumbula loo maxesha ngothando olukhulu ukuba asiyiyo intlonipho.
U-Yesu khange atsho ukuba ihlabathi liyakukholelwa kwiCawe yaKhe kuba imfundiso yethu yezenkolo ichanekile, iinkonzo zethu zicocekile, okanye iicawe zethu yimisebenzi yobugcisa. Endaweni yoko,
Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke, ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba nithe nathandana. (UYohane 13:35)
Kukuphakathi kwezi uluntu lothando ukuba uYesu wadibana ngenene. Andikwazi ukukuxelela ukuba mangaphi amaxesha okuba phakathi 
amakholwa anentliziyo efanayo azama ukuthanda uThixo ngentliziyo, ngomphefumlo nangamandla awo onke andishiyile ngentliziyo ehlaziyiweyo, umphefumlo okhanyisiweyo nomoya owomeleleyo. Injalo "nomthendeleko wesibhozo" kuba uYesu ubakho naphi na apho bahlanganisene khona babini okanye bathathu egameni lakhe, naphina apho sibeka khona uYesu ngokungagungqiyo okanye ngokuchazayo.
Ewe, kwanobuhlobo obungcwele nomnye umntu bubumba lo mthendeleko mncinci wobukho bukaKristu. Ndicinga ngomhlobo wam waseKhanada, uFred. Ngamanye amaxesha uye andityelele kwaye sishiya indlu esefama siye kungena kwindawo encinci yokungcola ngokuhlwa. Sikhanyisa isibane kunye nesifudumezi esincinci, emva koko singene kwiLizwi likaThixo, imizabalazo yohambo lwethu, emva koko simamele oko kuthethwa nguMoya. La ngamaxesha anzima apho enye okanye enye isakha enye. Sihlala siphila amazwi ka-St. Paul:
Kungoko ndithi, Thuthuzelanani, nakhane, kwanjengokuba nisenjenjalo. (1 Tesalonika 5:11)
Xa ufunda esi sicatshulwa seZibhalo silandelayo, beka endaweni yegama elithi "Uthembekile" ufake "Ukholo oluzaliswe", elithetha into enye kule meko:
Abahlobo abathembekileyo bayindawo yokuhlala eyomeleleyo; Nabani na ofumene omnye ufumene ubuncwane. Abahlobo abathembekileyo bangaphaya kwexabiso, akukho mali inokulinganisela ixabiso labo. Abahlobo abathembekileyo ngamayeza asindisa ubomi; abamoyikayo uThixo bobafumana. Ke bona abamoyikayo uYehova banesidima, (USiraki 6: 14-17)
Kukho elinye iqela elincinci labasetyhini eCarlsbad, eCalifornia. Xa ndandithetha ecaweni yabo kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo, ndandibabiza ngokuba “ziintombi zaseYerusalem” kuba ayembalwa kakhulu amadoda ngaloo mini! Baqhubeka benza indawo encinci yabasetyhini abaqhelekileyo ababizwa ngokuba ziiNtombi zaseJersualem. Bazifaka eLizwini likaThixo kwaye baba yimpawu zothando kunye nobomi bukaThixo kwabo babangqongileyo.
Icawe kweli hlabathi ngumthendeleko wosindiso, umqondiso kunye nesixhobo sobudlelane bukaThixo nabantu. -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-780
NGABA “ULUNTU” LILILIZWI NGOKU?
Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ndandinombono oqinileyo wokuba, ukuze usinde kule nkcubeko, amaKrestu kuyakufuneka arhoxe njengoko ooyise basentlango babesenza kwiinkulungwane ezadlulayo ukuze basindise imiphefumlo yabo ekutsalweni lihlabathi. Nangona kunjalo, andithethi ukuba kufuneka siphume siye emiqolombeni yasentlango, kodwa ukusuka ekuchazekeni rhoqo kwimithombo yeendaba, kwi-intanethi, ekuqhubekeni nokufuna izinto eziphathekayo, njalo njalo. Kwakukulixesha apho incwadi yaphuma ibizwa ngokuba Ukhetho lukaBenedict.
… AmaKristu obu-Orthodox kufuneka aqonde ukuba izinto ziza kusiba nzima ngakumbi kuthi. Kuza kufuneka sifunde ukuba siphile njani njengabathinjiweyo kwilizwe lethu… kuyakufuneka sitshintshe indlela esenza ngayo inkolo yethu kwaye siyifundise abantwana bethu, sakhe uluntu olomeleleyo. -URob Dreher, "AmaKrestu obuOthodoki ngoku kufuneka afunde ukuhlala njengabaphambukeli kwilizwe lethu", IXESHA, nge-26 kaJuni, 2015; ixesha.com
Kwaye kule veki iphelileyo, bobabini uKhadinali Sarah kunye noPopu uEmeritus Benedict bathethe ngokubaluleka kokuvela kobuKristu benkolo yamakholwa azinikeleyo azinikele ngokupheleleyo kuYesu Krestu:
Akufuneki sicinge ngenkqubo ekhethekileyo enokuthi ibonelele ngoncedo lwengxaki ekhoyo ngoku yamacala amaninzi. Simele siphile ngokholo lwethu, ngokupheleleyo nangokugqibeleleyo. Iimpawu ezintle zobuKristu lukholo oluqhakaza kuzo zonke
amandla omntu. Baphawula indlela yokonwaba ebomini ngokuvisisana noThixo. Kufuneka sidale iindawo apho zinokuphumelela khona. Ndihlaba ikhwelo kumaKrestu ukuba avule inkululeko enkulu phakathi kwentlango eyenziwe yinkxaso exhaphakileyo. Kufuneka sidale iindawo apho umoya uphefumla khona, okanye ngokulula apho ubomi bobuKristu bunokwenzeka khona. Uluntu lwethu kufuneka lubeke uThixo embindini. Phakathi kobuninzi bobuxoki, kufuneka sikwazi ukufumana indawo apho inyani ingachazwanga kuphela kodwa inamava. Ngamagama, kufuneka siphile iVangeli: singacingi nje ngayo njenge-utopia, kodwa siyiphile ngendlela ebonakalayo. Ukholo lufana nomlilo, kodwa kufuneka luvutha ukuze luhanjiswe kwabanye. -Khadinali uSara, IHerald yamaKatolika, Epreli 5th, 2019
Ngaxa lithile kwintetho yam namadoda awayebalekile ekupheleni kwimpelaveki edlulileyo, ndazifumana ndikhwaza: “Iphi na imiphefumlo ephila ngoluhlobo? Baphi abantu abatsha ngoYesu Krestu? ” Omnye umvangeli, uJohn Connelly, uzobe umzekeliso wamalahle ashushu. Ngokukhawuleza xa ususa enye emlilweni, icima ngokukhawuleza. Kodwa ukuba ugcina amalahle kunye, bagcina "umlilo ongcwele" uvutha. Lowo ngumfanekiso ogqibeleleyo woluntu lobuKristu oluyinyani kunye noko lwenzayo entliziyweni yabo babandakanyekayo.
UBenedict XVI wabelane ngamava anjalo kwileta yakhe entle awayeyibhalela iCawe kule veki:
Omnye wemisebenzi ebalulekileyo nebalulekileyo yokuhambisa ivangeli kukuba, kangangoko sinakho, ukuseka indawo yokuhlala yokholo kwaye, ngaphezu kwako konke, ukuyifumana nokuyiqonda. Ndihlala endlwini, kwindawo encinci yabantu abafumana amangqina anjalo kaThixo ophilayo kaninzi-ninzi kubomi bemihla ngemihla nabathi ngovuyo bayibonisa lento kum. Ukubona nokufumana iBandla eliphilayo ngumsebenzi omangalisayo osomelezayo kwaye usenze sonwabe kukholo lwethu amaxesha ngamaxesha. —IPOPE EMERITUS BENEDICT XVI, I-Arhente yeendaba yamaKatolika, Epreli 10th, 2019
Iindawo zokuhlala zokholo. Yile nto ndiyithethayo, iindawo ezincinci zothando apho uYesu ahlangana khona ngenene kwenye.
UMTHANDAZO NOKUFUNDISA
Konke oku kuthethwayo, ndifuna ukukhuthaza ukuba usondele kule khwelo lokucacisa eluntwini ngomthandazo nangobulumko. Njengoko uMdumisi wathi:
Ngaphandle kokuba uYehova uyayakha indlu, basebenzela ilize eyakhayo. (INdumiso 127: 1)
Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, bendidla isidlo sakusasa nomfundisi. Ndaye ndaziva uMama wethu esitsho kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ukuba uya kuba ngumlawuli wam omtsha wokomoya. Ndikhethe ukungayixoxi naye kwaye ndithandaze ngayo. Njengoko wayejonge imenyu yakhe, ndakroba kweyam kwaye ndacinga ngaphakathi, “Le ndoda ingangumphathi wam omtsha…” Ngalo mzuzu ulahle imenyu yakhe, wandijonga ngqo emehlweni wathi, "Phawula, umlawuli wokomoya akakhethwanga, unikiwe. ” Waphinda wathatha imenyu yakhe ngokungathi khange kwenzeke nto.
Ewe, ndicinga ukuba kunje kunye noluntu. Cela uYesu akunike. Mcele ukuba akhe indlu. Cela u Yesu akukhokelele kumakholwa acinga ntonye — ngakumbi nina madoda. Kufuneka siyeke ukuthetha ngebhola ekhatywayo kunye nezopolitiko ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye siqale ukuthetha ngezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu: ukholo lwethu, iintsapho zethu, imiceli mngeni esijamelana nayo, njalo njalo. Ukuba asenzi njalo, andiqinisekanga ukuba singasinda kule nto izayo kwaye, enyanisweni, le nto sele iqhekeza imitshato kunye neentsapho.
Akukho ndawo kwiiVangeli apho sifunda ngoYesu eyalela abaPostile ukuba, xa athe wemka, baya kuba luluntu. Ukanti, emva kwePentekoste, into yokuqala amakholwa ayenzayo yayiluluntu oluhleliweyo. Phantse ngokwemvelo…
… Abo babenempahla okanye izindlu babezithengisa, bazise ingeniso yentengiso, bazibeka ezinyaweni zabaPostile, zaza zanikwa umntu ngamnye ngokweemfuno zakhe. (IZenzo 4:34)
Kwakule mimandla apho iCawa yakhula khona, ngokwenene, yaqhuma. Ngoba?
Uluntu lwamakholwa lwalumxhelo mnye nentliziyo-nye… Ngamandla amakhulu abapostile bangqina ngovuko lweNkosi uYesu, kwaye bababalwa bonke. (v. 32-33).
Ngelixa kunzima ukuba kungenzeki (kwaye kungafuneki) ukulingisa imodeli yezoqoqosho yeCawa yokuqala, ooBawo beBhunga lesiBini leVatican babona kwangaphambili ukuba, ngokuthembeka kwethu kuYesu…
… Uluntu lwamaKrestu luya kuba ngumqondiso wobukho bukaThixo emhlabeni. -IiNtlanga zeDivinitus, IVictoria II, n. 15
Kubonakala kum ukuba ixesha ngoku liphezu kwethu lokuba ubuncinci siqale ukucela uYesu ukuba akhe indlu, iindawo zokuhlala zokholo kwihlabathi elingenalukholo.
Ukuvuselelwa kuza. Kungekudala kuyakubakho inkitha yoluntu esekwe ekuthandeni nasekubonakaliseni amahlwempu, enxibelelene kunye noluntu olukhulu lwecawe, ezo ngokwazo ezihlaziyiweyo esele zihamba iminyaka kwaye ngamanye amaxesha iinkulungwane. Inkonzo entsha iyazalwa ngenene… Uthando lukaThixo kukuthamba kunye nokunyaniseka. Umhlaba wethu ulinde uluntu lwethenda kunye nokunyaniseka. Bayeza. -UJean Vanier, Uluntu kunye noHlumo, iphe. 48; umseki we-L'Arche Canada
