Uvuko lweCawa

 

Olona luvo lusemthethweni, kunye nolunye oluvelayo
ukuvumelana kakhulu neZibhalo eziNgcwele, kukuba,
emva kokuwa komchasi-Kristu, iCawa yamaKatolika iya kuthi
uphinde ungene kwisithuba se
inkqubela noloyiso.
-Ukuphela kweLizwe langoku kunye neemfihlakalo zoBomi boKamva,
Fr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), iphe. 56-57; USomalia Institute Press

 

PHA Yindinyana engaqondakaliyo kwincwadi kaDaniel eyenzekayo yethu ixesha. Iphinda ityhile oko kucetywa nguThixo ngeli lixa njengokuba ilizwe liqhubeka nokuhla kobumnyama ...

 

UKUTSHINTSHWA

Emva kokubona emibonweni ukuphuma "kwerhamncwa" okanye umchasi-Kristu, oza kuza esiphelweni sehlabathi, umprofeti uxelelwa oku:

Hamba, Daniyeli, kuba amazwi avaliwe kwaye atywinwe kude kube lixesha lokuphela. Uninzi luya kuzihlambulula, luzenze mhlophe, lusulungekiswe… (Daniyeli 12: 9-10)

Isicatshulwa sesiLatin sithi la magama aya kutywinwa i-usque ad tempus praefinitum—“Kude kube lixesha elimisiweyo.” Ukusondela kwelo xesha kutyhilwa kwisivakalisi esilandelayo: nini Abaninzi baya kuzihlambulula, bazenze mhlophe. Ndiza kubuya kule kwimizuzwana embalwa.

Kwisithuba senkulungwane esidlulileyo, uMoya oyiNgcwele ebetyhila iBandla ukuzaliseka kwecebo lentlawulelo ngoMnumzana wethu, iimfihlakalo ezininzi, kunye nokufumana kwakhona intsingiselo eyiyo yeemfundiso zaBaseki beCawa yasekuqaleni kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo. Ewe, i-Apocalypse sisichaso esingqalileyo semibono kaDaniel, ke ngoko, "ukutywinwa" kwemixholo yayo kucacisa ukuqonda okugcweleyo kweentsingiselo zayo ngokuhambelana "neSityhilelo sikawonke-wonke" seCawe-iSiko eliNgcwele.

… Nokuba [esidlangalaleni] IsiTyhilelo sele sigqityiwe, asicaciswanga ngokucacileyo; Ihlala ikukholo lobuKristu ngokuthe ngcembe ukuze ikubambe ngokupheleleyo ukubaluleka kokuhamba kweenkulungwane." -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-66

Njenge-sidenote, kulwakhiwo ukuya kumnumzana uFr. UStefano Gobbi obhalwe imibhalo emibini Imprimaturs, INkosikazi yethu ityhola ukuba "iNcwadi" yesiTyhilelo ngoku ayityhilwanga:

Owam ngowam umyalezo we-apocalyptic, kuba usentliziyweni yoko kubhengezwe kuwe kwincwadi yokugqibela kwaye ibaluleke kakhulu kwiZibhalo eziNgcwele. Ndibeka iingelosi zokukhanya kwentliziyo yam engafezekanga umsebenzi wokukuzisa ekuqondeni kwezi ziganeko, ngoku ndithe ndakuvulela iNcwadi etywiniweyo. -Kwababingeleli, Oonyana Benkazana yethu ethandekayo, n. 520, mna, j.

Oko "kungatywinwanga" kumaxesha ethu kukuqonda okunzulu koko uSt. John akubiza ngokuba “Uvuko lokuqala” yeCawa.^[1]cf. ISityhi 20: 1-6 Yonke indalo iyilindile…

 

USUKU LWESIXHENXE

Umprofeti uHoseya ubhala athi:

Uya kusiphilisa emva kweentsuku ezimbini; ngomhla wesithathu uya kusivusa, ukuze sihlale ebusweni bakhe. (Hoseya 6: 2)

Kwakhona, khumbula amazwi kaPapa Benedict XVI kwiintatheli xa wayebalekela ePortugal ngo-2010, ukuba kukho  "Isidingo sothando lweCawa." Yena walumkisa ukuba abaninzi bethu balele ngeli lixa, kakhulu njengabapostile baseGetsemane:

… 'Ubuthongo' bobethu, bethu abangafuniyo ukubona amandla apheleleyo obubi kwaye abafuni ukungena kuThando lwakhe.. ” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kwiArhente yeendaba zamaKatolika, kwisiXeko saseVatican, ngoAprili 20, 2011, kubaphulaphuli ngokubanzi

Ye…

… [Icawe] iyakulandela iNkosi yakhe ekufeni nasekuVukweni. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 677

Ukuba kunjalo, iBandla liyakulandela iNkosi yalo "iintsuku ezimbini" engcwabeni, kwaye livuke "ngomhla wesithathu." Mandikucacise oku ngeemfundiso zaBaseki beCawa yokuqala…

 

USUKU LUFANA NEMINYAKA ELIWAKA

Bayijonga imbali yoluntu ngokujonga ibali lendalo. UThixo wadala umhlaba ngeentsuku ezintandathu, ngomhla wesixhenxe, Waphumla. Kule nto, babone ipateni efanelekileyo ukuba bayisebenzise kuBantu bakaThixo.

Waza ke uThixo waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe… Ke ngoko, abantu bakaThixo basasalelwe luphumlo lwesabatha. (Heb 4: 4, 9)

Baye babona imbali yoluntu, ukuqala kuAdam noEva de kwaba lixesha likaKristu njengeminyaka engamawaka amane, okanye "iintsuku ezine" ngokusekwe kumazwi kaSt.

Le nto ke inye mayingafihlakali kuni, zintanda, ukuba phambi kweNkosi imini enye injengeminyaka eliwaka, neminyaka eliwaka injengemini enye. (2 Petros 3: 8)

Ixesha elisuka ekunyukeni kukaKrestu ukuya embundwini wewaka lesithathu leminyaka liza kuba "ziintsuku ezimbini ezingaphezulu." Ngokuphathelene noku, kukho isiprofeto esimangalisayo esenzeka kanye apho. Abaseki beCawa bayibona kwangaphambili loo nto eliwaka leminyaka langoku yayiza kuzisa “umhla wesixhenxe”—“uphumlo lwesabatha” lwaBantu bakaThixo (bona Ukuphumla kweSabatha okuzayo) oko kwakuya kungqamana nokufa koMchasi-Kristu (“irhamncwa”) “novuko lokuqala” ekuthethwa ngalo kwiSt. Isityhilelo:

Irhamncwa labanjwa, kunye nalo kwabanjwa umprofeti obuxoki, lowo wayenzayo imiqondiso leyo wayilahlekisa ngayo abo balwamkelayo uphawu lwerhamncwa, nabo baqubuda kuwo umfanekiselo walo; Aba babini baphoswa bephila echibini lomlilo elivutha isalfure… ndabona nemiphefumlo yabo babenqunyulwe iintloko ngenxa yobungqina babo kuYesu nangenxa yelizwi likaThixo, nababengalinqulanga irhamncwa nomfanekiso walo. uphawu emabunzini abo okanye ezandleni. Babuyela ebomini baza balawula kunye noKristu iminyaka eliwaka. Abafileyo abaseleyo ababuyanga badle bomi, yada yadlula iminyaka eliwaka. Olu luvuko lokuqala. Unoyolo, ungcwele, lowo unesabelo eluvukweni lokuqala; Ukufa kwesibini akunagunya kubo. baya kuba ngababingeleli bakaThixo nabakaKristu, babe ngookumkani kunye naye iminyaka eliwaka. (Isityhilelo 19: 20-20: 6)

Njengoko bendichazile Ilahlekile i-Era, USt Augustine waphakamisa iingcaciso ezine zalo mbhalo. Lowo "unamathele" kuninzi lwabafundi bezakwalizwi ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla kukuba "uvuko lokuqala" lubhekisa kwixesha elisemva konyuko lukaKrestu kude kube sekupheleni kwembali yoluntu. Ingxaki kukuba oku akuhambelani nokufundwa okucacileyo kwesicatshulwa, kwaye akuhambelani noko kwafundiswa ngaBaseki beCawa yokuqala. Nangona kunjalo, enye inkcazo ka-Augustine "yeminyaka eliwaka" ithi:

... ngokungathi yinto efanelekileyo ukuba abangcwele bafanele ukuba bonwabele uhlobo lokuphumla ngeSabatha ngelo xesha, ulonwabo olungcwele emva kokusebenza iminyaka engamawaka amathandathu emva kokudalwa komntu… (kwaye) kufanele kulandele ukugqitywa kweminyaka emithandathu iwaka leminyaka, njengeentsuku ezintandathu, uhlobo lweSabatha yomhla wesixhenxe kule minyaka ilandelayo ... Kwaye olu luvo alunakuphikiswa, ukuba bekukholelwa ukuba uvuyo lwabangcwele, ngaloo Sabatha, luya kuba lolomoya, kwaye ngenxa yoko Phambi koThixo… —St. UAugustine waseHippo (354-430 AD; Gqirha weCawe), Isidima sobuntu, Bk. XX, Ch. I-7, IYunivesithi yase Katolika yaseMelika Press

Ikwayifayile ye- kulindela oopopu abaninzi:

Ndingathanda ukuvuselela kuwe isibheno endisenzileyo kubo bonke abantu abatsha… yamkele ukuzibophelela kwabo abalindi basekuseni ekuzeni kusa kwewaka leminyaka elitsha. Oku kukuzibophelela okuphambili, okugcina ukunyaniseka kunye nokungxamiseka kwethu njengoko siqala le nkulungwane ngamafu amnyama obundlobongela kunye noloyiko oluhlanganayo. Namhlanje, kunanini na ngaphambili, sidinga abantu abaphila ubomi obungcwele, abalindi abavakalisa kwihlabathi ukukhanya okutsha kwethemba, ubuzalwana noxolo. —IPOPA ST. UJOHN PAUL II, "Umyalezo kaJohn Paul II kuMbutho woLutsha waseGuannelli", nge-20 ka-Epreli 2002; IVatican.va

… Ixesha elitsha apho ithemba lisikhulula khona kukungabi nasisidima, ukungakhathali, kunye nokuzifunela ngokwakho okubulala imiphefumlo yethu nokonakalisa ubudlelwane bethu. Bahlobo abathandekayo, iNkosi ifuna ukuba nibe ngabaprofeti beli xesha litsha… -I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, iKhaya leSizwe loLutsha, eSydney, e-Australia, nge-20 kaJulayi ka-2008

UJohn Paul II unxibelelanise le "milenia intsha" kunye "nokuza" kukaKristu: ^[2]cf. Ngaba nyhani uYesu uyeza?  kwaye Bawo oyiNgcwele othandekayo… Uyeza!

Lutsha olutsha, kuxhomekeke kuwe ukuba ngu abalindi kwangesasa ndibhengeza ngokuza kwelanga ngubani uKrestu ovusiweyo! —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo kaBawo Oyingcwele kuLutsha lweHlabathiI-XVII yoSuku loLutsha lweHlabathi, n. 3; (cf. ngaba 21: 11-12)

Oko aBaseki beCawa-kude kube ngoopopu bethu bakutshanje-bebekuvakalisa, ayisosiphelo sehlabathi, kodwa "lixesha" okanye "ixesha loxolo," "ukuphumla" okwenyani apho izizwe ziya kuzola, uSathana wabotshelelwa ngamatyathanga. , kwaye iVangeli yandiswa kuwo onke amanxweme (yabona Iipopu, kunye neXesha lokuKhangela). I-St. Louis de Montfort inika intshayelelo efanelekileyo kumazwi esiprofeto seMagisterium:

Imithetho yakho yaphukile, iVangeli yakho iphoselwe ecaleni, imilambo yobugwenxa igcwele umhlaba wonke uthatha nabakhonzi bakho ... Ngaba yonke into iya kufikelela esiphelweni njengeSodom neGomora? Awusoze waphula ukuthula kwakho? Ngaba uya kuyinyamezela yonke le nto ngonaphakade? Ngaba akuyonyaniso ukuba ukuthanda kwakho kufuneka kwenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini? Ayilonyani na ukuba ubukumkani bakho bufanele bufike? Ngaba awuzange unike eminye imiphefumlo, othandekayo kuwe, umbono wokuvuselelwa kweCawa kwexa elizayo? —St. ULouis de Montfort, Ukuthandazela abavangeli basemazwenin. 5; www.ewtn.com

Kungumsebenzi kaThixo ukuzisa eli lixa lokonwaba kwaye ulazise kubo bonke ... Xa lifikile, liyakuba yure eligcweleyo, elikhulu elinemiphumela hayi kuphela ekubuyiseleni uBukumkani bukaKristu, kodwa Ukuhlaziywa kwe… kwehlabathi. Sithandaza ngokuzingisileyo, kwaye sicela abanye ngokufanayo ukuba bathandaze kuluntu olunqwenelekayo kakhulu kuluntu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi "Kuxolo lukaKristu eBukumkanini bakhe", UDisemba 23, 1922

Okona kubalulekileyo kukuba eli "lixa lokonwaba" liya kuthi lihambelane ne ukuphelela yaBantu bakaThixo. Isibhalo siyacaca ukuba Ukungcwaliswa komzimba kaKristu kuyimfuneko ukuze umenze afaneleke Umtshakazi ukubuya kukaKristu esebuqaqawulini: 

… Ukunimisa phambi kwakhe nibe ngcwele, ningenasiphako, ningenakusoleka phambi kwakhe; (KwabaseKolose 1:22, Efese 5:27)

Olu lungiselelo luchanekile kanye yile nto uSt. John XXIII wayenayo entliziyweni:

Umsebenzi kaPopu John othobekileyo “kukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abafezekileyo,” kanye okufana nomsebenzi womBhaptizi, umxhasi wakhe nalowo uthatha igama lakhe. Kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba ucinge ngokugqibeleleyo okuphezulu nangaphezulu okuxabisekileyo kunoloyiso loxolo lobuKristu, oluseluxolweni entliziyweni, uxolo ngolungelelwaniso lwentlalo, ebomini, impilo-ntle, ukuhloniphana, kunye nobuzwe bezizwe . —IIPOPE ST. UYOHANE XXIII, Uxolo lwenene lwamaKristu, Nge-23 kaDisemba ngo-1959; www.catholicculture.org 

Kungenxa yesi sizathu le nto i "millennium" isoloko ibizwa ngokuba "lixesha loxolo"; i ukugqibelela kwangaphakathi weCawa uye ngaphandle iziphumo, ezizezi, uxolo lwexeshana lwehlabathi. Kodwa ingaphezulu koko: yi ukubuyisela yoBukumkani bokuthanda kukaThixo okuphulukene noAdam ngenxa yesono. Ngenxa yoko, uPopu Piux XII wabona oku kubuyiselwa “njengovuko” lweCawa phambi kokuba isiphelo sehlabathi:

Kodwa kwanobu busuku emhlabeni babonisa imiqondiso ecacileyo yesifingo ezayo, yomhla omtsha yokufumana ukwanga kwelanga elitsha ngakumbi… Ukufa… Ngamnye, uKrestu kufuneka abutshabalalise ubusuku besono esonakeleyo ngokuqala kobabalo. Kwiintsapho, ubusuku bokungakhathali kunye nokuphola kufuneka kunike ilanga lothando. Kwimizi-mveliso, ezixekweni, ezizweni, kumazwe angaqondi nokuthiya ubusuku buye bukhanye njengemini, I-nox sicut die illuminabitur, nembambano iya kuphela kwaye kuya kubakho uxolo. -IPOPE PIUX XII, Urbi et Orbi idilesi, Matshi 2, 1957; IVatican.va

Ngaba uziva intwana yethemba ngoku? Ndiyathemba njalo. Kungenxa yokuba ubukumkani bukaSathana obonyukayo ngeli lixa asililo ilizwi lokugqibela kwimbali yoluntu.

 

Imini yeNkosi

Olu “luvuko,” ngokutsho kukaSt. John, lumisela “iminyaka eliwaka” yolawulo — into leyo Abaseki beCawa abayibiza ngokuba 'yimini yeNkosi.' Ayilosuku lweeyure ezingama-24, kodwa imelwe ngokufuziselayo “liwaka.”

Ewe, imini yeNkosi iya kuba yiminyaka eliwaka. -Umhla kaBharnabhas, Ootata beCawe, Ch. Ngama-15

Ngoku ... siyaqonda ukuba ixesha leminyaka eliwaka lubonakalisiwe ngolwimi olufuziselayo. —St. UJustin Martyr, Incoko kunye noTraypho, Ch. 81, Ootata beCawe, Ilifa lamaKristu

UThomas Aquinas uqinisekisa ukuba eli nani akufuneki lithathwe ngokoqobo:

Njengoko uAugustine esitsho, ixesha lokugqibela lehlabathi lihambelana nenqanaba lokugqibela lobomi bendoda, elingapheliyo inani eliqingqiweyo leminyaka njengoko amanye amanqanaba enza, kodwa lihlala ngamanye amaxesha elide njengamanye ngokudibeneyo, kwaye lixesha elide. Ke ngoko ixesha lokugqibela lehlabathi alinakwabelwa inani eliqingqiweyo leminyaka okanye izizukulwana. —St. Ngu-Thomas Aquinas, Ukuphazamiseka kwe-Quaestiones, Umqu. II De Potentia, Umbuzo 5, n.5; www.dhishori.org

Ngokungafaniyo nemillenarianists ababekholelwa ngempazamo ukuba uKrestu uyakwenza ngokoqobo uze kulawula enyameni Emhlabeni, aBaseki beCawa baziqonda iZibhalo ngokwasemoyeni isifaniso apho zazibhalwe khona (jonga Millennarianism-Yintoni le, kwaye ayikho). Umsebenzi wezakwalizwi uMfundisi uJoseph Iannuzzi ekwahlukaniseni iimfundiso zaBaseki beCawe kumahlelo enkohliso (Chiliasts, Montanists, njl. kwizityhilelo ezinikwe i-mystics yenkulungwane yama-20. Ndingatsho nokuba umsebenzi wakhe uyanceda "ukungatyhileki" Oko kubekelwe amaxesha okuphela. 

Ngamanye amaxesha ndifunda isicatshulwa seVangeli samaxesha okuphela kwaye ndiyangqina ukuba, ngeli xesha, ezinye iimpawu zeli xesha ziyavela. —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, iphe. 152-153, Imbekiselo (7), iphe. ix.

 

UBUKUMKANI BUKATHIXO BUTHANDA

Yonke into uYesu awayithethayo nayenzayo, yayingamazwi aKhe, ingekuko ukuthanda kwakhe, kodwa oko kukwaYise.

Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Unyana akanakwenza nto ngokwakhe, engathanga ayibone into ayenzayo uyise; kuba into ayenzayo, unyana wakhe uya kuyenza naye. Kuba uYise uyamthanda uNyana wakhe, ambonise yonke into ayenzayo yena ngokwakhe. (UYohane 5: 19-20)

Apha sinesishwankathelo esigqibeleleyo sokuba kutheni uYesu wathabathela kuye ubuntu bethu: ukumanya nokubuyisela ukuthanda kwethu kobuNgcwele. Ngegama, ukuya gweba uluntu. Oko uAdam waphulukana nako egadini ngokuchanekileyo kukuba: umanyano lwakhe kwiNtando kaThixo. UYesu weza kubuyisa kungekuphela ubuhlobo noThixo kodwa umthendeleko. 

“Yonke indalo,” watsho uPaul uPaul, "uyancwina kwaye usebenza kude kube ngoku," silindele imizamo kaKrestu yokukhulula ubudlelane phakathi koThixo nendalo yakhe. Kodwa isenzo sikaKristu sokuhlangula asizibuyiseli ngokwaso zonke izinto, senza nje umsebenzi wentlawulelo ukuba ube khona, siqale ukukhululwa kwethu. Njengokuba bonke abantu besabelana ngokungathobeli kuka-Adam, ngokunjalo bonke abantu kufuneka babelane ekuthobeleni uKrestu kwintando kaYise. Intlawulelo iya kufezekiswa kuphela xa bonke abantu besabelana ngokuthobela kwakhe… —UMkhonzi kaThixo Fr. UWalter Ciszek, Uyandikhokela (ISan Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1995), iphepha 116-117

Ke, "uvuko lokuqala" lubonakala ngathi lu ukubuyisela wento uAdam noEva baphulukana nayo eMyezweni wase-Eden: ubomi obuphilwayo Kwintando kaThixo. Olu lubabalo lungaphezulu kokuzisa nje iBandla kwimeko ye ukwenza Ukuthanda kukaThixo, kodwa kwimeko ukuba, into yokuba intando kaThixo enguBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele ibe lelo likaMzimba uyimfihlakalo kaKristu. 

Kuba iimfihlakalo zikaYesu azikagqitywa ngokupheleleyo kwaye azalisekiswa. Aphelele, eneneni, ayibubuntu bukaYesu, kodwa hayi kuthi, abangamalungu akhe, okanye eCaweni, umzimba wakhe ongaqondakaliyo. —St. U-John Elies, phatha "kubukumkani bukaYesu", Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, VV IV, iphe. 559

Ngoku ayiloxesha lokuba sandise ngokweenkcukacha ukuba le "injani"; U-Yesu ukwenzile oko kwimiqulu engamashumi amathathu anesithandathu kuMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta. Endaweni yoko, makwanele ukutsho nje ukuba uThixo uzimisele ukubuyisela kuthi isipho yokuphila ngokuthanda kukaThixo. ” Impembelelo yoku iyakubuyela kwindalo iphela "njengelizwi lokugqibela" kwimbali yoluntu ngaphambi kokupheliswa kwazo zonke izinto.  

Isipho sokuphila ngentando yobuthixo sibuyisela kwabo bahlawulelweyo isipho ebesikade sinaso ngaphambi kuka-Adam nesivelise ukukhanya kukaThixo, ubomi nobungcwele kwindalo… -UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, Isipho sokuphila kwiNtando yoKupapashwa kukubhalwa kukaLuisa Piccarreta (Iindawo zohlobo lwe-3180-3182); QAPHELA. Lo msebenzi uqinisekisa ukuvunywa kweYunivesithi yaseVatican kunye nokuvunywa kwicawa.

The IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika ifundisa ukuba “Indalo yonke yadalwa 'ikwimeko yokuhamba' (kwi-statu viae) ekupheleleni ngokupheleleyo okusaza kuzuzwa, nto leyo emiselwe nguThixo. ” ^[3]IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-302 Oko kugqibelela kunxibelelene nomntu, ongeyonxalenye yendalo kuphela kodwa incopho yayo. Njengoko uYesu watyhilayo kuMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccaretta:

Ndinqwenela, ke, ukuba abantwana bam bafumane ubuntu baMi kwaye bathathe ikopi eyenziwe nguMphefumlo woBuntu baMi kwiNtando kaThixo… Ngokunyuka ngaphezulu kwendalo yonke, baya kubuyisela amalungelo oMdalo-Owam ngokunjalo nowezidalwa. Baza kuzisa zonke izinto kwimvelaphi yendalo kunye nakwinjongo yokuba indalo ibekho… —ISityhi. UYosefu. Iannuzzi, Ubungangamsha beNdalo: uLoyiso lweNtando kaThixo eMhlabeni kunye noMhla woXolo kwiiNcwadi zooTata beCawe, ooGqirha kunye neMfihlakalo (Nceda ufumane indawo eyi-240)

Ngenxa yoko, uJohn Paul II uthi:

Uvuko lwabafileyo olulindelwe esiphelweni sexesha selufumene okokuqala, nokuzimisela kokuvuka kovuko lokomoya, eyona njongo iphambili yomsebenzi wosindiso. Buqulathe ubomi obutsha obunikwe nguKrestu ovusiweyo njengesiqhamo somsebenzi wakhe wokuhlangula. -Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, nge-22 ka-Epreli ka-1998; IVatican.va

Obu bomi butsha kuKristu, ngokwesityhilelo kuLuisa, buya kufikelela kwincopho yabo xa ukuthanda komntu ukuvusa Kwintando kaThixo. 

Ngoku, umqondiso weNtlangulo yam luVuko, oluthi, ngaphezu kwelanga elihlaziyayo, lathwesa ubuntu bam, lwenza nezona zinto zam zincinci zakhanya, ngobuqaqawuli nokumangaliswa njengokumangalisa iZulu nomhlaba. Uvuko luya kuba sisiqalo, isiseko kunye nokuzalisekiswa kwazo zonke izinto-isithsaba kunye nozuko lwabo bonke abaSikelelweyo. Uvuko Lwam lilanga eliyinyani elizukisa ubuntu bam; Lilanga leNkolo yamaKatolika; Luzuko lwawo onke amaKristu. Ngaphandle koVuko, bekuya kufana nokuba amazulu ngaphandle kweLanga, ngaphandle kobushushu kwaye engenabo ubomi Ngoku, uvuko lwam luphawu lwemiphefumlo eya kwenza ubungcwele kwi-Will yam. —UYesu waya eLuisa, Aprili 15, 1919, Umqu. 12

 

UVUKO… INGCWELE ENTSHA

Ukusukela ekunyukeni kukaKrestu iminyaka engamawaka amabini-okanye “iintsuku ezimbini” ezidlulileyo- umntu angathi iCawe yehlile engcwabeni noKristu ilindele uvuko lwayo-nokuba usajamelene noThando.

Kuba nafayo, baye ubomi benu bufihlakele ndawonye noKristu kuye uThixo. (KwabaseKolose 3: 3)

kwaye “Yonke indalo iyancwina inenimba kude kube ngoku,” utsho uSt. Paul, njengoko:

Indalo ilindele ngolangazelelo olukhulu ukutyhilwa kwabantwana bakaThixo… (KwabaseRoma 8:19)

Qaphela: UPawulos uthi indalo ilindele, hayi ukubuya kukaYesu esenyameni, kodwa Isityhilelo sabantwana bakaThixo. Inkululeko yendalo ibotshelelwe ngaphakathi kumsebenzi weNtlawulelo kuthi. 

Kwaye namhlanje siyakuva ukugcuma njengokuba kungekho mntu wakha wakuva oko… UPopu [John Paul II] uyakuxabisa ukulindelwa okukhulu kwelokuba iwaka leminyaka lamacandelo liyakulandelwa liwaka lemanyano. -Khadinali uJoseph Ratzinger (BENEDICT XVI), Ityiwa yomhlaba (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1997), iguqulelwe nguAdrian Walker

Olu manyano luya kuza njengomsebenzi kaMoya oyiNgcwele njengakwi “Pentekoste entsha” xa uYesu eza kulawula “ngendlela” entsha kwiCawe yakhe. Igama elithi “apocalypse” lithetha “ukutyhila.” Into elindele ukutyhilwa, ke, linqanaba lokugqibela lohambo lweCawe: ukucocwa nokubuyiselwa kwiNtando kaThixo-kanye le nto uDaniel wabhala ngayo kumawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo:

Uninzi luya kuzihlambulula, luzenze mhlophe, lusulungekiswe… (Daniyeli 12: 9-10)

… Ufikile umhla womtshato weMvana, umtshakazi wayo uzilungisile. Wayevunyelwe ukuba anxibe ilinen eqaqambileyo, ecocekileyo. (Isityhilelo 19: 7-8)

INgcwele uJohn Paul II icacisile ukuba esi iya kuba sisipho esikhethekileyo esivela phezulu:

NguThixo ngokwakhe owalungiselela ukuzisa ubungcwele "obutsha nobungcwele" apho uMoya Oyingcwele unqwenela ukucebisa amaKristu ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yesithathu, ukwenzela "ukumenza uKristu intliziyo yehlabathi." —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Idilesi yooTata abaNtsundu n. 6, www.v Vatican.va

Xa uYesu elawula eBandleni laKhe, ukuze ukuthanda kukaThixo kulawule kuyeOku kuya kuzalisekisa "uvuko lokuqala" loMzimba kaKristu. 

… UBukumkani bukaThixo buthetha uKrestu uqobo, esinqwenela ukuza kuye imihla ngemihla, kwaye ke singathi sofika ngokukhawuleza, sibonakalaliswe kuye. Kuba, njengoko eluvuko lwethu, ekubeni siphi kuye, sisuka sivuke kuye, ukuze ngokunjalo aqondwe ukuba bubukumkani bukaThixo, kuba siyalawula kuye. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. 2816

… Baya kuba ngababingeleli bakaThixo nabakaKristu, babe ngookumkani kunye naye iminyaka eliwaka. (ISityhilelo 20: 6)

UYesu uthi kuLuisa:

… Uvuko lwam lufanekisela abaNgcwele babaphilayo kwiThanda lam - kwaye oku kunesizathu, kuba isenzo ngasinye, igama, inyathelo, njlnjl. Okwenziwe kwiWill yam kukuvuka okungcwele okufunyanwa ngumphefumlo; luphawu lozuko olufumanayo; Kukuphuma kuye ukuze angene kubuThixo, kwaye athande, asebenze kwaye acinge, azifihle kwiLanga elinamandla lokuzithandela kwam ... —UYesu waya eLuisa, Aprili 15, 1919, Umqu. 12

Kodwa, njengoko isibhalo kunye neNkcubeko isitsho, "imini yeNkosi" kunye novuko oluhambelanayo lweCawa kuqala ngaphambi kwetyala elikhulu:

Ke ngoko nokuba ulungelelwaniso oluhambelanayo lwamatye kungabonakala ngathi lutshatyalalisiwe kwaye luqhekekile kwaye, njengoko kuchaziwe kwindumiso yamashumi amabini ananye, onke amathambo aya kubumba umzimba kaKrestu angabonakala ngathi asasazwe luhlaselo olunobuqhophololo kwiintshutshiso okanye ngamaxesha inkathazo, okanye ngabo bathi ngentshutshiso babujongela phantsi ubunye betempile, nangona kunjalo itempile iyakwakhiwa kwakhona kwaye umzimba uya kuvuka ngomhla wesithathu, emva komhla wobubi obuyisongelayo kunye nomhla wokugqibela olandelayo. —St. Origen, iNkcazo ngoYohane, Unqulo lweeyure, iVol IV, p. 202

 

NGAPHAKATHI KUPHELA?

Kodwa ngaba olu "luvuko lokuqala" lolwasemoyeni kuphela hayi ngokwasemzimbeni? Umbhalo webhayibhile ngokwawo ucebisa ukuba abo "banqunyulwe iintloko" kwaye balwalile uphawu lwerhamncwa “Waphila, walawula noKristu.” Nangona kunjalo, oku akuthethi ukuba bayalawula emhlabeni. Umzekelo, kwangoko emva kokufa kukaYesu, iVangeli kaMateyu iyangqina ukuba:

Umhlaba wanyikima, kwaqhekeka amatye, kwavulwa amangcwaba, kwaza kwavuka imizimba yabangcwele abaninzi abaleleyo. Baphuma emangcwabeni abo emveni kokuvuka kwakhe, bangena kuwo umzi ongcwele, babonakala kuninzi. (Mat 27: 51-53)

Ke apha sinomzekelo wekhonkrithi wovuko lomzimba phambi kokuba "uvuko lwabafileyo" oluza ekupheleni kwexesha (iSityhi 20:13). Ingxelo yeVangeli icebisa ukuba la manani aphakanyisiweyo eTestamente eNdala adlula ixesha kunye nendawo ukusukela oko "babonakala" kwabaninzi (nangona iBandla lingakhange lenze sigqibo malunga noku). Konke oku kuthetha ukuba akukho sizathu sokuba uvuko lomzimba alunakwenzeka apho aba bafeli-nkolo baya kuthi "babonakale" kwabo basemhlabeni njengokuba uninzi lwabangcwele kunye neNkosazana yethu sele benalo, kwaye besenza. ^[4]ukubona Uvuko oluzayo Nangona kunjalo, ngokuthetha jikelele, uThomas Aquinas uxela ngolu vuko lokuqala ukuba…

… La magama kufuneka aqondwe ngenye indlela, oko kukuthi, uvuko 'lwasemoyeni', ekuya kuthi ngalo abantu bavuke ezonweni zabo kwisipho sobabalo: ngelixa uvuko lwesibini lolwemizimba. Ulawulo lukaKrestu lubonisa iBandla ekungafeli kubafeli-nkolo kuphela, kodwa nakwabanye abanyuliweyo, icandelo elibonisa konke; okanye balawula noKristu ebuqaqawulini ngokubhekisele kubo bonke, kukhankanywa ngokukhethekileyo ngabafel 'ukholo, kuba Ngokukodwa bayalawula emva kokufa abo babelwela inyaniso, kude kuse ekufeni. UTomas Aquinas, ISumma Theologica, Qu. 77, ubugcisa. 1, phendula. 4 .; icatshulwe kwi Ubungangamsha beNdalo: uLoyiso lweNtando kaThixo eMhlabeni kunye noMhla woXolo kwiiNcwadi zooTata beCawe, ooGqirha kunye neMfihlakalo Ngu-Mfu Joseph Iannuzzi; (Uhlobo lwendawo 1323)

Nangona kunjalo, ubukhulu becala obu bubungcwele bangaphakathi awaprofetayo uPiux XII-ubungcwele obuphelisayo isono esibulalayo. 

Uvuko olutsha lukaYesu luyimfuneko: uvuko lwenene, olungasayi kuphinda lukhokele ekufeni… Emntu ngamnye, uKrestu kufuneka abutshabalalise ubusuku besono esibi kunye nokusa kwakhona kobabalo.  -Urbi et Orbi idilesi, Matshi 2, 1957; IVatican.va

UYesu uthi kuLuisa, ewe, olu luvuko alukho esiphelweni seentsuku kodwa ngaphakathi ixesha, xa umphefumlo uqala phila kwintando kaThixo. 

Intombi yam, eluVukweni lwam, imiphefumlo yafumana amabango afanelekileyo okuba iphinde ivuke kum ibe nobomi obutsha. Kwakungokuqinisekiswa kunye nokutywinwa kobomi bam bonke, kwemisebenzi yam kunye namazwi am. Ukuba ndize emhlabeni yayikukunceda umphefumlo ngamnye ukuba ubenovuko lwaM njengolwabo - ukubanika ubomi kwaye ubenze bavuke eluVukweni lwam. Kwaye uyafuna ukwazi ukuba uvuko lokwenene lomphefumlo lwenzeka nini? Hayi ekupheleni kweentsuku, kodwa ngelixa lisaphila emhlabeni. Lowo uhlala kuThanda lam uvuka ekukhanyeni athi: 'Ubusuku bam buphelile'… ke ngoko, umphefumlo ohlala kumyolelo wam ungatsho, njengoko isithunywa sathi kubafazi abangcwele abasendleleni eya engcwabeni, ' uvukile. Akakho apha. ' Umphefumlo onjalo ohlala kwiNtando yam unokuthi, 'Intando yam ayiseyoyam, kuba ivukile e-Fiat kaThixo.' - Aprili 20, 1938, Umqu. 36

Yiyo loo nto, iSt. Unoyolo, ungcwele, lowo unesabelo eluvukweni lokuqala; Ukufa kwesibini akunagunya kubo. ” ^[5]Rev 20: 6 Baza kuba mbalwa ngenani - "intsalela" emva kwembandezelo yomchasi-Kristu.

Ngoku, uvuko lwam luphawu lwemiphefumlo eya kwenza ubungcwele kwi-Will yam. Abangcwele beenkulungwane ezidlulileyo babonakalisa ubuntu bam. Nangona beyekile emsebenzini, babengenasenzo siqhubekekayo kumyolelo wam. ke ngoko, abalwamkelanga uphawu lweLanga loVuko lwam, kodwa uphawu lwemisebenzi yoBuntu bam phambi koVuko lwam. Ke ngoko, baya kuba baninzi; phantse njengeenkwenkwezi, ziya kwenza uhombiso oluhle eZulwini loBuntu bam. Kodwa abaNgcwele babaphilayo kwiThanda lam, abaya kuba luphawu loBuntu obuVukileyo, baya kuba mbalwa. —UYesu waya eLuisa, Aprili 15, 1919, Umqu. 12

Ngenxa yoko, "uloyiso" lwamaxesha okuphela ayisiyiyo nje ukubethelelwa kukaSathana enzonzobileni (ISityhi. 20: 1-3); Endaweni yoko, kukubuyiselwa kwamalungelo obuntwana awaphulukana naye uAdam- "owafa" ngokungathi kunjalo eMyezweni wase-Eden - kodwa obuyiswayo kuBantu bakaThixo kula "maxesha okuphela" njengesiqhamo sokugqibela sikaKrestu. Uvuko.

Ngesi senzo soloyiso, uYesu watywina ubunyani bokuba wayenguYe [kuMntu oNgcwele omnye kokubini] enguMntu noThixo, kwaye ngovuko lwaKhe waqinisekisa imfundiso yakhe, imimangaliso yakhe, ubomi beSakramente nobomi bonke beCawe. Ngapha koko, ufumene uloyiso ngaphezulu kokuthanda komntu kuyo yonke imiphefumlo ebuthathaka kwaye ephantse yafa kuyo nayiphi na into elungileyo, ukuze ubomi bokuthanda kukaThixo obabuza kuzisa ubungcwele kunye nazo zonke iintsikelelo kwimiphefumlo ziboyise. —INenekazi lethu eLuisa, Intombikazi ebukumkanini bokuthanda kukaThixo, Usuku 28

ngenxa yokuvuswa koNyana wakho, ndenze ndiphinde ndivuke ngentando kaThixo. -U-Luisa uye kwiNkosikazi yethu, i-Ibid.

[Ndicela] ukuvuswa kweNtando kaThixo ngaphakathi kwentando yomntu; Sonke singavusa kuWe… -Luisa kuYesu, kumjikelo wama-23 kwiLungelo eliNgcwele

Yile nto izisa uMzimba kaKristu ngokupheleleyo ukukhula:

… Side sonke sifikelele kubunye bokholo naselwazini ngoNyana kaThixo, ebudodeni obupheleleyo, ebukhosini obupheleleyo bukaKristu… (Eph 4:13)

 

UKUBA NGOKUPHELELEYO KWETHU

Ngokucacileyo, iSt.John kunye naBaseki beCawe abaphakamisi "i-eschatology yokuphelelwa lithemba" apho uSathana noMchasi-Kristu boyisa de uYesu abuye eze kuphelisa imbali yoluntu. Okulusizi kukuba, abanye bamaKatolika nabadumileyo bamaProtestanti bathetha kanye loo nto. Isizathu kukuba bayakhathala Ubungakanani beMarian yeNkqwithela Sele ilapha kwaye izayo. Kuba uMariya oyiNgcwele…

… Umfanekiso weCawe ezayo… -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Thetha uSalvi, n.50

Kwaye,

Kwangoko eyintombi enyulu nomama, uMariya ngoyena mqondiso nokwenene kwelona Bandla… -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-507

Endaweni yoko, into esiyiqonda ngokutsha yile nto ifundiswe yiCawe ukuqala—Ukuba uKrestu uya kuwabonakalisa amandla aKhe Ngaphakathi imbali, enje ukuba uMhla weNkosi uya kuzisa uxolo nobulungisa ehlabathini. Iya kuba luvuko lobabalo olulahlekileyo kunye "nokuphumla kwesabatha" kwabangcwele. Oko kuya kuba bubungqina ezintlangeni! Njengoko iNkosi yethu ngokwayo yathi: “Ezi ndaba zilungileyo zobukumkani ziya kushunyayelwa kwihlabathi liphela njengobungqina zonke iintlanga kwandule ke ukufika ukuphela. ” ^[6]Matthew 24: 14 Besebenzisa ulwimi lokomfuziselo lwabaprofeti beTestamente eNdala, aBaseki beCawa yasekuqaleni bathetha into enye:

Ke, intsikelelo eyaxelwa kwangaphambili ngokungathandabuzekiyo ibhekisa kwixesha loBukumkani Bakhe, xa ilungisa liza kulawula ngokuvuka kwabafileyo; xa indalo, izalwa ngokutsha kwaye ikhululwe ebukhobokeni, iya kuvelisa intabalala yokutya kwazo zonke iintlobo kumbethe wezulu nokuchuma komhlaba, njengoko abantu abadala bekhumbula. Abo babone uYohane, umfundi weNkosi, [basixelele] ukuba bayivile indlela iNkosi ebifundisa ngayo, yathetha ngayo ngalo maxesha. —St. UIrenaeus waseLyon, uBawo weCawa (140- 202 AD); IiNdawo zokuHamba, UIrenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4,Ootata beCawe, Ukupapashwa kweCIMA

… Uza kuza unyana wakhe, alitshabalalise ixesha longendawo, agwebe abangahloneli Thixo, atshintshe ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi, ayophumla ke ngolwesixhenxe, emva kokuba ephumle ngazo zonke izinto, ukuqala kosuku lwesibhozo, oko kukuthi, elinye ilizwe. -Umhla kaBharnabhas (70-79 AD), owabhalwa nguyise wabapostile wenkulungwane yesibini
