UkuKhulelwa okungagungqiyo, NguGiovanni Battista Tiepolo (1767)
INTONI utshilo? NguMariya lowo le Isiphephelo esisinikwa nguThixo kula maxesha? [1]cf. Ukuxhwila, ukuSebenzisa, kunye neNdawo yokubalekela
Kuvakala ngathi kukuphambuka, akunjalo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ngaba akunguYesu indawo yethu yokusabela? Asinguye na “umlamli” phakathi komntu noThixo? Asinguye na igama lakhe yedwa esisindiswa ngalo? Akanguye uMsindisi wehlabathi? Ewe konke oku kuyinyani. Kodwa njani uMsindisi unqwenela ukusisindisa ngumba ohluke ngokupheleleyo. Njani ukufaneleka koMnqamlezo kusetyenziswa ibali eliyimfihlakalo lilonke, elihle, nelothusayo. Kukule ndlela yokuhlengwa kwethu ukuba uMariya afumane indawo yakhe njengesithsaba sobuchule bukaThixo kwinkululo, emva kweNkosi yethu uqobo.
UKUSETYENZISWA KAKHULU NGOMARIYA
Imvakalelo yamaKristu amaninzi eVangeli kukuba amaKatolika awenzi nje kuphela into enkulu kuMariya, kodwa abanye bakholelwa ukuba simnqula. Kwaye kufuneka sivume, ngamanye amaxesha, amaKatolika abonakala enikela ingqalelo ngakumbi kuMariya kunakuNyana wakhe. UPope Francis ngokufanayo ucacisa isidingo sokulinganisela okufanelekileyo xa kufikwa kwimicimbi yokholo lwethu ukuze sing…
… Ndithetha kakhulu ngomthetho kungesibabalo, ngakumbi ngeCawa kunoKrestu, nangakumbi malunga noPopu kunelizwi likaThixo. -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-38
Okanye ngaphezulu ngoMariya kunoYesu, ngokuthetha ngokubanzi. Kodwa inokuthi ihambe ngenye indlela, ukuba ukubaluleka kwalo mfazi kuyenzakalisiwe. Kuba uMariya yinto enkulu njengoko iNkosi yethu imenza.
UMariya uhlala ebonwa ngabavangeli njengomnye umntu weTestamente eNtsha othi, nangona wayenelungelo lokuzala uYesu, akabalulekanga ngakumbi ngaphandle kokuzalwa kwentombi. Kodwa oku kukujonga nje kuphela isimboli esinamandla kodwa ukusebenza okwenyani koMama 
kaMariya — yena ngubani…
… Umsebenzi wobugcisa wobufundisi boNyana noMoya kwinzaliseko yexesha. -ICatechism yeCawa yamaKatolika (CCC), n. I-721
Kutheni le nto 'ingumsebenzi wobugcisa wobizo' kaThixo? Kungenxa yokuba uMariya ngu uhlobo kwaye umfanekiso leCawe ngokwayo, enguMtshakazi kaKristu.
Kuyo sicamngca ngento esele ihleliwe yiCawe kwimfihlelo yakhe “yohambo lokholo,” nokuba uza kuba yintoni kwilizwe lakhe lokugqibela ekupheleni kohambo lwakhe. -ICatechism yeCawa yamaKatolika (CCC), n. I-972
Umntu unokuthi nguye komzimba yeCawe ngokwayo njengokuba umntu wakhe waba "ngumthendeleko wosindiso" wokoqobo. Kuba wayeza ngaye uMsindisi ehlabathini. Ngendlela efanayo, kungenxa yeCawa apho uYesu eza kuthi kwiiSakramente.
Yiyo loo nto [uMariya] “elikholwa kwaye… nelungu leCawe ngokupheleleyo ngenene, “ungumzekelo wokuqonda” (typus) weCawa. -I-CCC, n. I-967
Kodwa kwakhona, ungaphezulu komfanekiso wento iCawe eyiyo, kwaye ekuza kubakho; unjalo, ngokungathi kunjalo, a fanayo isitya sobabalo, sisebenza ecaleni kunye neCawe. Umntu unokuthi, ukuba iCawa "yeziko" iyaba umthendeleko ubabalo, uMama wethu, ngendima yakhe yokuba ngumama kunye nomthetheleli, usebenza njengomhambisi we nomtsalane ubabalo.
Iinkalo zeziko kunye ne-charismatic ziyimfuneko ngokubaluleka njengoko kwakunjalo kumgaqo-siseko weCawa. Banegalelo, nangona ngokwahlukileyo, ebomini, ekuhlaziyweni nasekungcwalisweni kwabantu bakaThixo. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, I-L'Osservatore Romano, Nge-3 kaJuni, 1998; uphinde washicilelwa kwi Ukungxamiseka kweVangeli elitsha: Ukuphendula umnxeba, nguRalph Martin, iphe. 41
Ndithi uMariya “ngumhambisi” okanye, le nto ikubiza ngokuba yi "Mediatrix" [2]cf. I-CCC, n. I-969 kwezi zibabalo, ngokuchanekileyo ngenxa yokuba ngumama kwakhe abelwe nguKristu ngokudibana kwakhe noMoya oyiNgcwele. [3]cf. Yohane 19:26 Ngokwakhe, uMariya sisidalwa. Kodwa simanyene noMoya, lowo "uzele lubabalo" [4]cf. ULuka 1:28 Unayo 
yiba ngumsasazi ongagungqiyo wobabalo, oluphambili kuzo sisipho soNyana wakhe, iNkosi noMsindisi wethu. Ngelixa ubabalo "lomthendeleko" luza kwabathembekileyo ngobubingeleli bomthendeleko, uPopu eyintloko yabo eyintloko emva kukaKrestu, ubabalo "olunamandla" lwenzeka ngobubingeleli obuyimfihlakalo, uMariya eyintloko ebalaseleyo emva kukaKristu. . Ungowokuqala "onobuhle", ungatsho! UMariya wayekho, ecelela icawe intsana ngePentekoste.
Ukunyuselwa ezulwini akazange ayibeke bucala le ofisi isindisayo kodwa ngokuthandazela kwakhe okuninzi kuqhubekeka kusizisela izipho zosindiso lwanaphakade. -I-CCC, n. I-969
Ke, ukuba uMariya luhlobo lweCawe, kwaye iMagisterium ifundisa ukuba "Icawe kweli hlabathi ngumthendeleko wosindiso, umqondiso kunye nesixhobo sobudlelane bukaThixo nabantu," [5]IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-780 emva koko sinokuthi uMama oBusisiweyo ngu umthendeleko wosindiso ngendlela ekhethekileyo neyodwa. Naye “ungumqondiso nesixhobo sobudlelane bukaThixo nabantu.” Ukuba uPopu uyi bonakala umqondiso wobunye beCawa, [6]CCC, 882 UMariya yile nto ezingabonakaliyo okanye uphawu olugqithisileyo lobunye njengo "mama wabo bonke abantu."
Ubumbano sisiseko seCawa: 'Imfihlakalo emangalisayo! Mnye uYise wendalo iphela, zinye iiLogos zendalo iphela, kwaye mnye noMoya oyiNgcwele, kuyo yonke indawo inye; Kukwakho nenye intombi engumama, kwaye ndingathanda ukuyibiza ngokuba “yiCawe.” —St. UClement waseAlexandria, cf. I-CCC, n. I-813
IBHAYIBHILE
Kwakhona, sisiseko esenziwe ngenene esenze umonakalo kwezi nyaniso malunga noMariya kwaneCawe uqobo. Kwifilosofi, akunakubakho zuko ngaphandle koThixo. Oku kuyinyani ngokwethu unqulo kaThixo yedwa: uYise, uNyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele. Kodwa ungabukholelwa ubuxoki bokuba uThixo akahlanganyeli ubuqaqawuli bakhe neCawe, oko kukuthi, ukusebenza kwamandla aKhe okusindisa-kwaye ngobubele ngeloxesha. Kuba njengoko wabhala uPaul, singabantwana bOsenyangweni. Kwaye…
… Ukuba singabantwana, sikwaziindlalifa, iindlalifa zikaThixo, iindlalifa ke kunye noKristu; ukuba nje siva ubunzima kunye naye, ukuze sizukiswe nokuzukiswa kunye naye. (Roma 8:17)
Kwaye ngubani owasokola ngakumbi kunonina owathi “ikrele lamhlaba”? [7]Luke 2: 35
AmaKristu okuqala aqala ukuqonda ukuba iNtombi Enyulu uMariya “yayinguEva omtsha” incwadi yeGenesis eyambiza ngokuba “ngunina wabo bonke abaphilayo.” [8]cf. IGenesis 3:20 Njengokuba u-Irenaeus oyiNgcwele watshoyo, "Ngokuthobela waba ngunobangela wosindiso kuye nakwilizwe lonke," ephelisa ukungathobeli kuka-Eva. Ngenxa yoko, banika uMariya igama elitsha: "uMama wabaphilayo" kwaye bahlala besithi: "Ukufa ngoEva, ubomi ngoMariya." [9]Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-494
Kwakhona, akukho nto yokungahoyi okanye yokugubungela inyaniso esisiseko yokuba uBathathu Emnye Ongcwele ngowona mthombo uphambili wayo yonke into kaMariya, kwaye ngenene, kukuthatha inxaxheba kweCawe ngokupheleleyo emsebenzini osindisayo kaKristu. [10]ukubona I-CCC, n. I-970 Ke "uBomi ngoMariya," ewe, kodwa obu bomi sithetha ngabo ngu ubomi bukaYesu Krestu. UMariya, ke, uthatha inxaxheba enkulu ekuziseni obu bomi ehlabathini. Kwaye nathi sinjalo.
Umzekelo, uPaul Paul uxela umsebenzi wakhe njengobishophu weCawa "ngumama" othile:
Bantwana bam, endibuye ndasebenza ngenxa yabo, ade uKristu amiliswe ngaphakathi kwenu. (Gal 4:19)
Ewe, iCawe ibisoloko ibizwa ngokuba yi “Mama Church” ngenxa yendima yayo yokomoya. La magama akufuneki asothuse, kuba uMariya kunye neCawe sisipili somnye nomnye, kungoko ke, babelana "kubumama" bokuzisa "uKristu opheleleyo" -UChristus totus—ehlabathini. Yiyo loo nto sifunda:
… Inamba yamqumbela umfazi, yaya kulwa nayo yonke inzala yakhe, abo bagcina imiyalelo kaThixo kwaye bangqina ngoYesu. (ISityhi. 12:17)
Kwaye kuyakumangaza emva koko ukuba bobabini uMariya kunye neCawe babelana ngokutyumza intloko kaSathana-hayi uYesu kuphela?
Ndiza kubeka ubutshaba phakathi kwakho [Sathana] kunye nomfazi ... yena uya kukutyumza intloko ... Yabonani, ndininikile igunya 'lokunyathela phezu kweenyoka' noonomadudwane, nasemandleni awo onke utshaba kwaye akukho nto iya konakalisa. (Gen 3:15 ukusuka kwisiLatin; uLuka 10:19)
Ndingaqhubeka nezinye iZibhalo, kodwa sendigubungele uninzi lwalo mhlaba (jonga ukuFunda okunxulumene apha ngezantsi). Eyona njongo iphambili apha kukuqonda ukuba kutheni uMariya enjalo le indawo yokusabela. Impendulo kungenxa yokuba ngokunjalo neCawa. Ezi zipili zibini.
IIMBALI
Kutheni le nto uMama osikelelweyo wabhengeza eFatima ukuba i-Immaculate Heart yindawo yethu yokusabela? Ngenxa yokuba izibuko, kwindima yakhe yobuqu, yintoni iCawe ekumama: indawo yokusabela kunye nelitye. Icawe yindawo yethu yokusabela kuba, okokuqala, kuyo sifumana ukuzaliseka kwenyaniso okungenakuphela. Inguquko kunye nomcebisi wezopolitiko waseMelika, uCharlie Johnston, uqaphele:
Xa ndandiseRCIA, ndafunda ngokuqatha - enyanisweni, kwiiveki zokuqala, ndizama ukufumana "ukubamba" kubuKatolika. Ndifunde malunga ne-30 yeencwadi ezishinyeneyo zenzululwazi kunye neencylical kunye nootata beCawa kunqabile ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezingama-30 kulo mzamo. Ndiyayikhumbula imvo yam yokumangaliswa okwenyani ukufumanisa ukuba, nangona amadoda athile alusizi ngamanye amaxesha ebambe isikhundla sikaPopu, kwiminyaka engama-2000 kwakungekho kuphikisana kwemfundiso. Ndisebenze kwezopolitiko-andikwazi ukubiza umbutho omkhulu ohambe iminyaka eyi-10 ngaphandle kokuphikisana okubonakalayo. Lowo yayingumqondiso onamandla kum wokuba esi yayisisitya sikaKristu, hayi esomntu.
Ayisiyonyani yodwa, kodwa kwiCawa yamaKatolika sikwafumana ubabalo olungcwalisayo kuBhaptizo, uxolelo kuVumo, uMoya oyiNgcwele kuQinisekiso, ukuphilisa ekuthambiseni, kunye nokudibana okungapheliyo kukaYesu Krestu kwi-Eucharist. UMariya, njengoMama wethu, uhlala ekhokelela kuthi ngendlela esondeleyo, yobuqu, neyimfihlakalo kuLowo uyiNdlela, iNyaniso kunye noBomi.
Kodwa kwakutheni ukuze uMama wethu angatsho Intliziyo yakhe kwaye iCawa kufuneka ibe yindawo yethu yokusabela kula maxesha? Kungenxa yokuba iBandla kule minyaka ilikhulu idlulileyo ukusukela ekubonakalweni kwayo kwi1917 liye lafumana ingxaki eyoyikekayo. Ukholo luye 
ilahlekile kwiindawo ezininzi. "Umsi kaSathana" ungene eCaweni, utshilo uPaul VI. Impazamo, uwexuko, kunye kudideka zisasazeke kuyo yonke indawo. Kodwa okumangalisayo kukuba, kuyo yonke le nto-kwaye le yipolitiki kuphela-ndidibene namawaka amaKatolika kulo lonke elaseMntla Melika, kwaye ndifumanise ukuba phakathi kwemiphefumlo ezinikele ngokwenene kuMariya, uninzi lwabo uthembekile Abakhonzi bakaKrestu, iBandla laKhe, kunye neemfundiso zakhe. Ngoba? Ngenxa yokuba iNenekazi lethu ligwiba lokukhusela nelikhokelela abantwana balo kwiNyaniso kwaye libanceda ukuba bandise uthando lwabo ngoKristu Yesu. Ndiyazi le ngamava. Andikaze ndimthande uYesu ngaphezu kokuba nam ndiye ndamthanda lo Mama.
Inenekazi lethu likwayindawo yethu yokusabela kula maxesha kanye ngoba iCawe izakufumana intshutshiso ebuhlungu kwihlabathi liphela-kwaye iyaqhubeka eMbindi Mpuma. Xa kungekho Masakramente, xa kungekho zakhiwo uthandazela kuzo, xa kunzima ukufumana ababingeleli… yena uya kuba yindawo yethu yokusabela. Kwangokunjalo, xa abaPostile babechithachithekile kwaye bephazamisekile, yayingenguye na wokuqala ukuma ngxi phantsi koMnqamlezo abasondela kuye uJohn noMary Magdalene? Uya kuba yindawo yokubalekela phantsi koMnqamlezo wenkanuko yeCawa. Yena, obizwa yiCawe "yityeya yomnqophiso", [11]I-CCC, n. I-2676 siya kuba yityeya yethu yokhuseleko.
Kodwa kuphela ukuze usikhwele siye Indawo enkulu yokubalekela kunye nezibuko elikhuselekileyo yothando lukaKristu nenceba.
