BONKE kwihlabathi liphela, amakhulu ezigidi zamaKatolika ahlanganisene kulePentekoste yeCawa edlulileyo beva iVangeli ubhengeziwe:

… Xa athe weza, uMoya wenyaniso, uya kunikhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso. (UYohane 16:13)

UYesu akazange athi “UMoya wovuyo” okanye “UMoya woxolo”; Akathembisanga "uMoya wothando" okanye "uMoya wamandla'-nangona uMoya oyiNgcwele eyiyo yonke loo nto. Kunoko, uYesu wasebenzisa isibizo UMoya wenyaniso. Ngoba? Kuba kunjalo iqiniso oko kusikhulula; yi iqiniso ethi, yakwamkelwa, iphile ngaphandle, kwaye kwabelwane ngayo ivelisa iziqhamo zovuyo, uxolo nothando. Inyaniso ithwala amandla iyodwa.

Inyaniso, eneneni, itsala amandla kuyo hayi kubungakanani bemvume evusayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican, Matshi 20, 2006

Inyaniso yayiyeyona nto iphambili kulungiselelo lukaKristu. Yenza, ngokungathi kunjalo, isiseko senjongo yakhe yonke:

Ndizalelwe oku kwaye ndizele oku ehlabathini, ukuze ndiyingqinele inyaniso. (Yohane 18:37)

Kwaye hayi kuphela yakhe uthumo, kodwa olwethu. Phambi kokuba anyukele ezulwini, wagqithisa "ulungiselelo lwenyaniso" kubaPostile:

Hambani ngoko niye kuzenza abafundi zonke iintlanga, nibabhaptizela egameni loYise, loNyana, loMoya oyiNgcwele; nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endiniwisele umthetho ngazo. (Mat 28: 19-20)

Konke oku makuthethwe, bazalwana noodade, ukuba iBandla lingaphila ngaphandle kwezakhiwo ezibonakalayo. Iyakwazi ukuphila ngaphandle kwamakhandlela, ii icon, kunye nezibingelelo ezibanzi. Iyakwazi ukunyamezela emiqolombeni, emahlathini naseziseleni. Kodwa iBandla alinakubakho ngaphandle iqiniso, isiseko sayo. Inyaniso, ke, yile nto uSathana ayihlaselayo. Inyani yile nto inamba inqwenela ukuyenza mnyama ukuze iphose umhlaba wonke ebumnyameni. Inyaniso ilula, kwaye ngaphandle kwayo, ikamva lomntu lisemngciphekweni, njengoko uPopu Benedict walumkisa ephindaphinda. ^[1]cf. Kwi-Eve

 

INDAWO YOKUHLASELWA

INkosi yethu ngokwayo yafundisa:

Wonk 'ubani owaphulaphulayo la mazwi am aze awenze uya kuba njengendoda eyingqondi, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kolwalwa. (Mat. 7:24)

Kwaye kwakhona,

Lowo undithandayo uyakuligcina ilizwi lam… (Yohane 14:23)

UbuKristu abukho nje "ngokholo" okanye ukukholelwa kuKristu-kuba nomtyholi uyakholelwa kuYesu, kodwa akalondolozwa. Endaweni yoko, lukholo oluqinisekisiweyo kukuthobela ilizwi lakhe. Njengoko uSt. James wabhala:

UAbraham, ubawo wethu, akagwetyelwanga na ngokwasemisebenzini, akunikela ngonyana wakhe uIsake phezu kwesibingelelo? Uyabona ukuba ukholo lwalusebenza kunye nemisebenzi yakhe, kwaye ukholo lwagqitywa ngemisebenzi. (Yakobi 2: 21-22)

Yiyo le nto inyaniso ibalasele kwinkqubo yosindiso lwethu. Awunakho ukungqina ukholo lwakho kwimisebenzi elungileyo ngaphandle kokuba uqinisekile ukuba uyazi into "elungileyo." Kwaye ungazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba yintoni elungileyo kuba u Yesu wayalela abaPostile ukuba basifundise ngokuchanekileyo ukuba yintoni ekufuneka siyigcinile. Ngokulandelelana kwabaPostile, ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje, ezi nyaniso zigcinwe kwinkolo yamaKatolika-ngaphandle kokuba nesono kwamalungu akhe.

Into endiyithetha ngasentla icacile kuninzi lwenu. Kodwa kubonakala kungabonakali kwiipesenti ezingama-62 zabavoti baseIreland, uninzi lwazo NgamaKatolika kwaye ngubani ovotele nje umtshato osemthethweni wamafanasini. Ngokuqinisekileyo ayicacanga kwinani labefundisi kwihlabathi liphela abafuna utshintsho kumthetho weCawa ukulungiselela abo bakwimeko yesono sokufa. Akucaci ukuba inani elikhulu lamaziko emfundo yamaKatolika anyusa ngokunyanisekileyo i-ajenda yezopolitiko kunye ne-hedonistic ngenjongo yokuwela phantsi kwebhanile lenkolo entsha "yokuNyamezelana". Njengoko u-Archbishop Charles Chaput watsho lucidly:

Ndicinga ukuba ubomi bale mihla, kubandakanya nobomi baseCaweni, buneengxaki zokungafuni ukukhubekisa ezithi zibubulumko kunye nokuziphatha okuhle, kodwa amaxesha amaninzi kujike kube bubugwala. Abantu banembeko omnye komnye nembeko efanelekileyo. Kodwa sikwafanele omnye komnye inyani-oko kuthetha ukunyaniseka. -UBhishophu omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., "Ukunikezela kuKesare: Umsebenzi wezopolitiko wamaKatolika", ngoFebruwari 23, 2009, Toronto, Canada

 

IHLABATHI LAMAKHATHolika ELICINAYO

Isizathu sokuba iNkosi ifune ngokungxamisekileyo ukusihlangula kuloyiko kwaye nokuba sithandazele inkalipho yile Siza kuyidinga ngomhlakulo kwiintsuku ezizayo. Uninzi alwazi ngokupheleleyo ukuba inkululeko yethu njengamaKatolika ikhawuleza ibe ngumphunga njani. AmaKatolika amaninzi awanalo nofifi lokuba ukungaziphathi kakuhle kwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha kungekudala kuza kudala iyantlukwano enzulu kwaye iphazamise kwiindawo abahlala kuzo.

INkosi indikhumbuze kaninzi kwezi veki zimbalwa zidlulileyo ukuba le nto izayo iza kuza nesantya soQhushululu lwaseFrance-ngobusuku nje obunye. Mhlawumbi hayi kule nyanga; mhlawumbi hayi kulo nyaka, kodwa uyeza—njengesela ebusuku. Amagama ombingeleli ongcwele noyimfihlakalo endiwaziyo eNew Boston yiza engqondweni. Ngo-Epreli, ngo-2008, u-St Thèrèse de Liseux wabonakala kuye ephupheni enxibe ilokhwe yo Mthendeleko wokuqala kwaye wamkhokelela ecaweni. Nangona kunjalo, wathi akufika emnyango, wavalwa ukuba angene. Wajika wajonga kuye wathi:

Kanye njengokuba ilizwe lam [iFrance], eyayiyintombazana endala yeCawa, yabulala ababingeleli bayo kunye nabathembekileyo, kuya kuba njalo nokutshutshiswa kweCawe kwilizwe lakho. Ngexesha nje elifutshane, abefundisi baya kuya ekuthinjweni kwaye bangakwazi ukungena ezicaweni ngokuvulekileyo. Baza kulungiselela abathembekileyo kwiindawo ezifihlakeleyo. Abathembekileyo baya kuncitshiswa “ngokwanga kukaYesu” [[uMthendeleko oNgcwele]. Amadoda amakhulu azisa kuYesu kubo ngaphandle kwababingeleli.

Kwaye ngo-Januwari 2009 ngelixa wayesithi iMisa, yena ngokuzwakalayo uve uStreèse ephinda umyalezo wakhe ngokungxamisekileyo:

Ngexesha nje elifutshane, okwenzeke kwilizwe lam lokuzalwa, kuya kwenzeka kokwakho. Intshutshiso yeCawe isondele. Zilungiselele.

Kwakuneminyaka emithandathu eyadlulayo. Akukho mntu wayenokuqikelela ukuba umhlaba uza kupeyintwa ngemibala yomnyama ngokukhawuleza njengoko usenzile, ushiya emva kwawo uninzi lwamaKristu atshutshiswayo aye agxothwa, abekelwa bucala, ahlawuliswa kwaye ahlekwa ngenxa yokubambelela kwabo "baphelelwe lixesha, bacalucalulo, kwaye ukunganyamezelani ”umbono wokuba umtshato phakathi kwendoda kwaye umfazi sisiseko esahlukileyo nesingenakubuyiselwa kuluntu (cf. Ngomtshato wamaGay). Le nkcazo yomtshato ebikhona kwasekuqaleni kwembali yoluntu ngoku, ngokusobala, ayilunganga. Ukuba oko kukodwa akubangeli ukuba isizukulwana sethu sinike ikhefu kulwalathiso lwalo olunyanzelekileyo, ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba akukho nto iyakuthi, ngaphandle kohlobo lokuvuka oluya kuthi ekugqibeleni luzise: ubundlobongela (kwaye ngale nto ndithetha ubundlobongela obujoliswe kwiCawa). Ungayijongeli phantsi into yokuwa kwemali eza kuyenza kwi-psyche ngokubanzi yabemi abagcwele "igunya". Uyakhumbula uqhankqalazo lwaseWall Street kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo? Iicawa, ngokunomdla, nazo zahlaselwa ngelo xesha. Yayisesinye isilumkiso esidutyuliweyo kwimpucuko yaseNtshona yenguqulelo yangoku kunye nezayo. ^[2]cf. Uhlaziyo!, Uhlaziyo olukhulu kwaye Uhlaziyo lwehlabathi! 

 

INKALIPHO, HAYI UKUBONISA

Ngokuqinisekileyo, abanye baya kundityhola ngehaba. Ewe ndityholwa ngokuzibaxa izinto kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo xa ndandilumkisa Intshutshiso!… Itsunami Yokuziphatha Ukuchazwa ngokutsha komtshato kunye nokwabelana ngesondo kwakuza kukhokelela kwintshutshiso yokwenene yeCawe. Impendulo endiyinikileyo ke njengoko ndenza ngoku malunga nokuba yintoni ekufuneka eyenzile amaKristu ngeli lixa ngokufanayo: khasa phezulu eliweni lenyaniso. Oko kukuthi, zibeke endaweni engaphezulu kweliza elizayo ITsunami yokomoya ngokuma kumhlaba ophakamileyo weNkcubeko eNgcwele. Ukholo olungenakuguqulwa kunye nokuziphatha okudluliselwe kuthi akunampazamo kuba zadluliselwa ngoYesu kubaPostile nakumalandela abo kwaye bagcinwa nguMoya wenyaniso. ^[3]cf. Ubuqaqawuli benyaniso kwaye Ingxaki esisiseko Ukuba uzifumana ungaphaya kocingo namhlanje, ngokuchasene neemfundiso zeCawa yamaKatolika, uxanduva lwakho kukuwe ukuba uphengulule intliziyo yakho, uthandazele uMoya weNyaniso ukuba uze kwaye ukukhokelele kuyo yonke inyaniso . Musa ukoyika inyani! Usindiso lwakho luxhomekeke kuyo.

Kwaye ukuba amaKatolika ama-Orthodox akakhange acelwe mngeni kwinto abakholelwa kuyo xa kufikwa kumtshato wamafanasini, amalungelo okuqhomfa, njalo njalo ke kufuneka bazilungiselele. Ndicaphula kwakhona emva kwexesha uFr. UJohn Hardon owathi ngesazela esithile:

Ngaphantsi kwamaKatolika aqhelekileyo anokuphila, ke iintsapho eziqhelekileyo zamaKatolika azinakuphila. Abanakukhetha. Kufuneka babe ngcwele-oko kuthetha ukuba bangcwalisiwe-okanye baya kutshabalala. Iintsapho zamaKatolika kuphela eziza kuhlala ziphila kwaye zichuma kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye ziintsapho zabafeli-nkolo. Utata, umama nabantwana kufuneka bakulungele ukufela iinkolelo zabo abazinikwe nguThixo… -Intombi Enyulu Ebusisiweyo kunye nokuNgcwaliswa koSapho, Mkhonzi kaThixo, Fr. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ

Ngenxa yokuba iNkosi iyakusikhafula isidikidiki, ingqolowa iya kwahlulwa phakathi komdiza, kunye neegusha ezibhokhweni. Kuya kubakho amacala amabini kuphela kule Mbambano yokuGqibela: leyo yenyaniso kunye neyoyokuchasana nenyaniso (efihliwe njengoNyamezelo). Njengoko uSt. John wafundisa,

Lowo uthi, Ndiyamazi, abe engayigcini imithetho yakhe, ulixoki, inyaniso ayikho kuye. ^[4]cf. Eyoku-1 kaYohane 2:4

Kuyothusa xa umntu efunda kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo ukuba kunye "nabangathembekanga, abagwenxa, ababulali, abanyulu, abakhafuli, abanquli-zithixo, nabakhohlisi bazo zonke iintlobo" "Amagwala" badweliswe kunye nabo “iqashiso lawo likudike lomlilo echibini lomlilo nesalfure.” ^[5]cf. ISityhi 21:8

Yiyo loo nto, bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, ukuba iNkosi ithumele uMama wayo kuthi kwakhona: ukwenza i-cenacle kunye naye ngasentla
igumbi lentliziyo yakhe lokuthandazela ukuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele. Njengoko benditshilo kwiveki ephelileyo, uninzi lwethu lukhubazekile ngenxa yoloyiko kuba siqala ukuzibuza ukuba singasinda njani kule ntshutshiso izayo. Impendulo kukuba uThixo uya kusinika ubabalo ngeyure esiyifunayo. Okwangoku, sibizelwe ukuthembeka, ukuthembela, kunye nothando-inyathelo elinye ngexesha. ^[6]cf. I-Belle, kunye noQeqesho lweNkalipho Njengoko isitsho kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje:

Kwabo bazisolayo uThixo ubanika indlela yokubuyela, uyabakhuthaza abo balahla ithemba kwaye ubanyulele inyani yenyaniso. (USiraki 17:20)

Ewe, uMoya wenyaniso unesinye isihloko: “Umncedi”. ^[7]cf. UYohane 14:16; "Ummeli" Thembela, ke ngoko, ukuba uThixo uyakunceda kunye neCawe yaKhe ngelixa lokulingwa xa uthandazela kwaye wamkela ngokutsha uMoya wenyaniso.

Ungothuki ke, [uYesu], xa ndithetha nawe ndedwa ngaphandle kwabanye kwaye ndikubandakanya nakwishishini eliyingozi kangaka… okukhona zibanzi izandla zakho kokukhona uzimisele ngakumbi… “Ngaphandle kokuba uzilungiselele kuba olo hlobo lwento, kulilize ukuba ndikunyulile. Iziqalekiso ziya kuba lilifa lakho kodwa aziyi kukwenzakalisa kwaye zibe bubungqina bokuzingisa kwakho. Ukuba ngenxa yokoyika, nangona kunjalo, uyehluleka ukubonisa amandla okuthunywa, isabelo sakho siya kuba sibi kakhulu. —St. UJohn Chrysostom, Liturgy yeYure, Umqu. IV, iphe. 120-122
