WE zimi emazantsi eeNtaba zeRocky zaseCanada ngokuhlwa, njengoko mna nentombi yam silungiselela ukubamba iliso phambi kokuba uhambo losuku luye kwi-Pacific Ocean ngomso.
Ndikufutshane neekhilomitha ezimbalwa ukusuka entabeni apho, kwiminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo, iNkosi yathetha amazwi esiprofeto anamandla kuFr. Mna noKyle Dave. Ungumfundisi waseLouisiana owabaleka iNkanyamba uKatrina xa yayihlasela amazwe akumazantsi, kuquka neparishi yakhe. UFr. U-Kyle weza kuhlala nam emva kwayo, njenge tsunami eyiyo yamanzi (a 35 foot foot surge!) Yagqobhoza icawe yakhe, engashiyi nto ngaphandle kwemifanekiso eqingqiweyo.
Ngeli xesha sasithandaza, sifunde iZibhalo, sibhiyozela uMthendeleko, kwaye sathandaza ngakumbi njengoko iNkosi yenza iLizwi ukuba liphile. Kwakungathi kuvulwe ifestile, kwaye savunyelwa ukuba sibonele kwinkungu yekamva ixesha elifutshane. Yonke into eyayithethwe ngembewu ngoko (yabona Izilwanyana kwaye Amaxilongo Esilumkiso) ngoku iyenzeka phambi kwamehlo ethu. Ukusukela ngoko, ndacacisa ngezo ntsuku zesiprofetho kwimibhalo engama-700 apha nakwi-a incwadiNjengokuba uMoya undikhokele kule ndlela ndingayilindelanga…
UKUTHUNYWA OKUKHULU
Andisoze ndiyilibale imini esenyuka ngayo kuloo ntaba apho sakhokelelwa ukuba sihlale khona iintsuku ezininzi. Yayiyindlela enomoya ukuya phezulu apho indlu ebalekayo ihleli kuvulo olukhulu ehlathini. Njengokuba isithuthi sethu besirhubuluza ecaleni kwendlela yegrabile, uFr. Mna noKyle sasithandaza kunye nengoma yam, Yiza uMoya oyiNgcwele (Yazisa iNkosi ialbham). Ngesiquphe, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehla phezu kwam ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, ngokokude ndimise endleleni! Xa ndiguqe apho ndilila, ndabona entliziyweni yam umlambo wabathinjwa benyuka intaba bengenanto ngaphandle kweebhegi kunye neempahla emqolo. Ke, kwinto ebonakala ngathi luhlobo oluthile lombono wangaphakathi, ndabona indlela intaba ngomlilo—Umlilo womoya, ngokungathi sisibane. Ngokuzenzekelayo, ndeva ukuba le ndawo ingangomnye umhla ibe yokufihla. Ngobo busuku, umntu othile wandithumelela nge-imeyile umfanekiso (jonga ngasentla) weNtliziyo eNgcwele kaYesu phezu kweentaba.
Iyeza loo mihla. Nini kwaye phi, andazi.
ULUNTU LWABADALA
Kwakungelo xesha, kanye emva kokuba iqela lethu elincinci lingene kwindlu yokubuyela umva kwaye sazingcwalisa kwi-Sacred Heart, apho ndafumana "ilizwi" phambi kweSigramente Esikelelekileyo. Yathetha ngexesha laxa amaKristu eza kuhlanganisana eluntwini… ngaxeshanye, abanye abangaphandle kwenkolo baya kudibana nabo "uluntu olufanayo”(Yabona Indawo zokubalekela ezizayo kunye neziqithi). Kuphakathi kwezi ndawo zamaKristu apho imimangaliso emininzi, ukuphilisa, kunye neentsikelelo ziya kuhamba njengoko amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele ekhutshwa ngendlela enzulu. Amandla obumnyama akasayi kufumana ndawo kwezi ndawo zokukhanya zininzi.
Ubhala uSt. Ignatius wakwa-Antiyokwe…
Zama ukuhlangana rhoqo ukuze ubulele uThixo kwaye umdumise. Kuba xa nihlangana ndawonye rhoqo, amandla kaSathana ayajongelwa phantsi, kwaye intshabalalo asoyikisayo ipheliswa ngemvisiswano yokholo lwenu. Akukho nto ilunge ngaphezu koxolo, apho yonke imfazwe phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba ipheliswa. -Ileta eya kwabase-Efese ngu-Saint Ignatius wase-Antiyokwe, ubhishophu nomfeli-nkolo, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqulu I
La ngamagama ekufanelekile ukuba ucinge ngawo kwiintsuku ezizayo…
UKATRINA… IMICROCOSM
Ngaphakathi nasemva kokutshatyalaliswa kweNkanyamba uKatrina, ihlabathi labukela njengokuba iNew Orleans yehlela kwisixeko sesiphithiphithi. Iivenkile ezinkulu zazingenanto. Iindawo zokuhlala zashiywa zingenamntu. Abaphangi baqhekeza ezivenkileni. Izaphuli-mthetho zazizula-zula ezitratweni. Abongikazi balahla abaguli esibhedlele. Ukutya, amanzi, kunye nendawo yokuhlala zazinqongophele… kwakungeyonto yokujonga, kuba ndandikhe ndaneeveki ezimbini kuphela apho phambi koqhwithela.
UFr. UKyle wayehlala esithi iNkanyamba uKatrina yayingu i-microcosm Yintoni eza kuza emhlabeni ukuba siqhubeka nendlela esikuyo. Yiyiphi loo ndlela? I-hedonism engalawulekiyo, ukuqhomfa, ukulingwa ngokwesondo, umtshato ongomnye, ukubawa kwiimarike, urhwaphilizo kwezopolitiko…. Ngamanye amagama, iintloko zemihla ngemihla. Ngapha koko, wayengathethi nto yimbi ngaphandle kweNkosikazi Yethu yaseKibeho, owayevela kwabanye abantwana eRwanda ebalumkisa ngolwaphulo-mthetho oluza kubakho ukuba elo lizwe alijiki emendweni walo. Kwenzeka ntoni eRwanda isilumkiso kwihlabathi esidinga ukubuyela kulo iNkosi, ngokwemiyalezo enikwe abantwana balapho, nakwezinye izibhengezo kwihlabathi liphela:
… Thandani uThixo, thandanani nibe nobubele omnye komnye, funda iBhayibhile, ulandele imiyalelo kaThixo, wamkele uthando lukaKristu, uguquke ezonweni, uthobeke, ufune uxole, kwaye uphile isipho sobomi bakho ngendlela afuna ngayo uThixo -Nentliziyo ecocekileyo nevulekileyo nesazela esicocekileyo. -Inenekazi lethu laseKibeho, Immaculée Ilibagiza kunye noSteve Erwin, iphe. 62
Endaweni yoko, indlela ekhoyo yoluntu yile ekhokelele uPope Benedict, kumyalezo wakhe woNyaka oMtsha, ukuba alumkise “ngezithunzi kwihlabathi lanamhlanje.” [1]cf. www.cbc.ca, Jan. 1, 2012 Uchonge ezo zithunzi, ngokuyinxalenye, kwidilesi yakhe eya kwi-Ambassadors yaseVatican kwiveki ephelileyo:
Ndiqinisekile ukuba amanyathelo owiso-mthetho angavumeli kuphela kodwa ngamanye amaxesha akhuthaza ukukhupha isisu ngezizathu zokwenza lula okanye ngenxa yezizathu zonyango ezithandabuzekayo ziyayiphazamisa imfundo yabantu abatsha kwaye, ngenxa yoko, ikamva loluntu… usapho, olusekwe emtshatweni Indoda nomfazi ayisiyontetho elula yentlalo, kodwa siseli esisiseko yoluntu lonke. Ngenxa yoko, imigaqo-nkqubo ejongela phantsi usapho isongela isidima somntu kunye nekamva loluntu ngokwalo. Umzuzu wangoku uphawulwe ngokulusizi kukungazinzi okunzulu kwaye iingxaki ezahlukeneyo - ezoqoqosho, ezopolitiko nezentlalo - ziyimbonakalo ebalaseleyo yoku… Inene umhlaba umnyama naphina apho amadoda nabafazi bengasaluvumiyo ulwalamano lwabo noMdali kwaye ngaloo ndlela bebeka esichengeni ubudlelwane babo kwezinye izidalwa nakwindalo ngokwayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, wenza intetho ngonyaka koonozakuzaku baseVatican, nge-9 kaJanuwari ngo-2012, I-LifeSiteNews.com
Lawo magama ayengumbongo wentetho awayinika uPapa kwiCuria yaseRoma kunyaka ongaphambili, xa wayethelekisa imeko yangoku yehlabathi kunye nokuwa koBukhosi baseRoma (jonga Ngomhla kaEva).
UKULUNGISELELA
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba bobabini uFr. Mna noKyle sayithwala intaba kwiminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo yayiyimfuneko Lungiselela. Akhona amanye amazwi asinike wona uNkosi, amanye awo ukuzaliseka kwawo kunokuba kude. Ngelixa sibuva ubuzaza bamaxesha, saphinda saziva silindelwe lilanga lasezulwini elilungiselela ukukwenza. Yiyo loo nto igama elithi "Lungiselela" lingathethi kuphela "ukuzilungiselela" ubunzima - into engenakuphepheka yelizwe elizimisele ukwamkela ukufa njengomgangatho. Kodwa kuthetha, mhlawumbi ngaphezulu kwako konke, uku zilungiselele ukwamkela amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele. Ewe, ngeli xesha lokubonakala kweNkosikazi Yethu emhlabeni ngenene ukwakhiwa "kwegumbi eliphezulu": ukulungiswa kweCawe ukuba "yambeswe ngamandla avela phezulu." [2]cf. ULuka 24:49
Ndifuna ukubhala ngakumbi malunga noku. Kodwa okwangoku, ndiza kukushiya namazwi kaSt. Ignatius oFundwayo namhlanje we-Ofisi… igama elisibuyisela kuthando lwethu lokuqala, kuThixo ngokwakhe.
Kuba iNkosi ithambisile entlokweni yayo, ukuze iphefumle ukungonakali, ibandla. Sukuthanjiswa ngevumba elibi leemfundiso zenkosana yeli hlabathi, sukumvumela akukhokele kude ekuthinjweni kubomi obubekwe phambi kwakho. Kodwa kutheni le nto singalumkanga sonke xa sifumene ulwazi ngoThixo, onguYesu Krestu? Kutheni le nto sitshabalala kububhanxa bethu, singazi isipho esithunyelwe yiNkosi ngenene? Umoya wam unikelwe kwinkonzo ethobekileyo yomnqamlezo esisikhubekiso kwabangakholwayo kodwa kuthi usindiso nobomi obungunaphakade. -Ileta eya kwabase-Efese ngu-Saint Ignatius wase-Antiyokwe, ubhishophu nomfeli-nkolo, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqulu I
