NOKUBA ibiyipolitiki yehlabathi, iphulo likamongameli lakutshanje laseMelika, okanye ubudlelwane bosapho, siphila kwixesha apho izahlulo Ziyanda, zinobukrakra. Ngapha koko, kokukhona sidityaniswa yimithombo yeendaba zentlalo, kokukhona sahlulwa kubonakala ngathi sifana noFacebook, iiforamu, kunye namacandelo okuphawula esiba liqonga lokuhlazisa omnye umntu-nkqu nesizalwana sakhe… nkqu nopopu wakhe. Ndifumana iileta ezivela kwihlabathi liphela ezililela iyantlukwano embi abajamelana nayo abaninzi, ngakumbi kwiintsapho zabo. Kwaye ngoku sibona ukungamanyani okumangalisayo kwaye mhlawumbi kwakuprofetwe ngako “Ookhadinali abachasayo ookhadinali, oobhishophu nxamnye noobhishophu” Njengoko kwaxelwa nguMongameli wethu waseAkita ngo-1973.

Umbuzo ke, kukuba ungazizisa njani, kwaye ngethemba losapho lwakho, kwesi saqhwithi seCandelo?

YAMKELA ILOTI YOMKRISTU

Ngokukhawuleza emva kwentetho yokuBekwa ngokusesikweni kukaMongameli uDonald Trump, umhlalutyi weendaba wazibuza ukuba ingaba le nkokeli intsha ibhekisa njani "kuThixo" yayililinge lokumanyanisa ilizwe liphela phantsi kwebhanile enye. Ewe, imithandazo yokuvula eyintsikelelo kunye neentsikelelo kaninzi kwaye ngaphandle kokuthandabuza babongoza igama lika UYesu. Yayibubungqina obunamandla kwinxalenye yeziseko zaseMelika ezazibonakala ngathi zilibalekile. Kodwa kwayena lo Yesu wathi:

Musani ukucinga ukuba ndize kungenisa uxolo emhlabeni; Andize kungenisa luxolo, ndize kungenisa ikrele. Kuba ndize kubambanisa umntu noyise, intombi nonina, umolokazana noninazala. Zaye iintshaba zomntu ziya kuba ngabendlu yakhe. (Mat. 10: 34-36)

La magama angaqondakaliyo anokuqondwa ngokukhanya kwamanye amazwi kaKristu:

Ke kaloku, umgwebo nguwo lo, ukuba ukhanyiso lufikile ehlabathini, baza abantu bathanda ubumnyama ngaphezu kokhanyiso; kuba imisebenzi yabo ingendawo. Kuba bonke abenza izinto ezimbi bayaluthiya ukhanyiso, bangezi elukhanyisweni, ukuze imisebenzi yabo ingabonakaliswa. Bandithiya kungekho sizathu… , Ihlabathi linithiyile. (UYohane 3: 19-20; 15:25; 19)

Inyaniso, njengoko ityhilwe kuKristu, ayisiyi kukhulula nje kuphela, kodwa iyakugweba, iyabacaphukisa, kwaye iyabagxeka abo izazela zabo zingaxengaxengiyo okanye abalahli imfundiso yeVangeli. Into yokuqala kukwamkela le nyaniso, leyo nawe iyakwaliwa ukuba uzimanya noKristu. Ukuba awukwazi ukuyamkela, ngekhe ube ngumKristu, kuba u Yesu wathi,

Ukuba umntu uza kum, angamthiyi uyise, nonina, nomfazi, nabantwana, nabazalwana, nodade, ewe, nobakhe ubomi, akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (ULuka 14:26)

Oko kukuthi, ukuba nabani na uyayekelela enyanisweni ukuze amkelwe kwaye amkelwe-nditsho nosapho lomntu-ebeke isithixo sobugorha nesidima sakhe ngaphezu koThixo. Kukaninzi undiva ndicaphula uJohn Paul II owathi, "Sijongene nembambano yokugqibela phakathi kweCawa nabachasene necawa, njl.". Ndiyakholelwa ukuba siza kubona ukwahlukana okungaphephekiyo phakathi kobumnyama nokukhanya kuqina kwiinyanga nakwiminyaka ezayo. Isitshixo kukukulungiselela oku, emva koko uphendule ngendlela awaphendula ngayo uYesu:

… Thanda iintshaba zakho, wenze okulungileyo kwabo bakuthiyileyo, usikelele abo bakuqalekisayo, ubathandazele abo bakuphatha gadalala. (ULuka 6: 27-28)

IMIGWEBO: IMBEWU YOLWAHLULO

Enye yeendlela ezichuliweyo asebenza ngazo uSathana namhlanje kukutyala izigwebo ezintliziyweni. Ndingakunika umzekelo wobuqu…

Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ndaziva ndidumbile ukwaliwa kwakuvela macala onke-enye yeendleko zokwenza obu bulungiseleli. Nangona kunjalo, ndiyishiye intliziyo yam ingakhuselekanga, kwaye kumzuzu wokuzisizela, ndavumela isigwebo ukuba sibambe entliziyweni: ukuba umfazi nabantwana bam ngokunjalo ndilahle. Ngeentsuku neenyanga ezalandelayo, ngobuqili ndaqala ukuthetha ndaza ndenza iprojekthi kuzo, ndibeka amagama emilonyeni yazo, ucebise ukuba abandithandi okanye abandamkeli. Oku kwabadida kwabakhathaza… kodwa ke, ndiyakholelwa ukuba nabo baqala ukuphelelwa kukuzithemba kum njengendoda notata. Ngenye imini, umfazi wam wathetha into kum ngqo kuMoya oyiNgcwele: “Phawula, yeka ukuvumela abanye bakwenze ngokomfanekiso wabo, nokuba ndim okanye abantwana bakho okanye omnye umntu.”Yayingumzuzu ozaliswe bubabalo wokukhanya xa uThixo waqalisa ukutyhila ubuxoki. Ndacela uxolelo, ndalahla obu buxoki endandibukholelwa, ndaza ndaqala ukuvumela uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba andibuyele kumfanekiso kaThixo-wakhe yedwa.

Ndikhumbula elinye ixesha xa ndandihambisa ikonsathi kwisihlwele esincinci. Indoda enescowl ebusweni yayihleli ngorhatya ingaphenduli kwaye, ewe, scowling. Ndikhumbula ndicinga ngaphakathi kum, “Yintoni ingxaki kulomfo? Injani yona ukuba lukhuni intliziyo! ” Kodwa emva kwekonsathi, weza kum wabulela, kubonakala ukuba uchukunyiswe yiNkosi. Mfana, ngaba ndiphosakele.

Zingaphi izihlandlo sifunda intetho yomntu okanye izinto azenzayo okanye ii-imeyile kunye amabhere Bacinga okanye bathetha into abangayiyo? Ngamanye amaxesha umhlobo uyarhoxa, okanye umntu obenobubele kuwe ngequbuliso akakuhoyi okanye akakuphenduli ngokulula. Rhoqo amaxesha ayinanto yakwenza nawe, kodwa ngento abadlula kuyo. Rhoqo kunokuba kunjalo, kuye kwavela ukuba abanye nabo abakhuselekanga njengawe. Kuluntu lwethu olusinyanzelayo, kufuneka sixhathise ukungxama sifikelele kwizigqibo kwaye endaweni yokucinga okona kubi, sithathe okona kulungileyo.

Yiba ngowokuqala ukusasaza ezo zigwebo. Nazi iindlela ezintlanu…

I. Zijonge iimpazamo zomnye.

Ayinakuphepheka into yokuba nabona bantu basatshatileyo abathandanayo baya kuthi ekugqibeleni bajongane neziphene zamaqabane abo. Kunjalo ke nakwabo uhlala nabo egumbini, ofunda nabo okanye osebenza nabo. Chitha ixesha elaneleyo nomnye umntu, kwaye uqinisekile ukuba ungaphathwa ngendlela engeyiyo. Kungenxa yokuba zonke kuthi siphantsi komntu owileyo. Yiyo le nto uYesu wathi:

Yiba nenceba, njengokuba naye uYihlo enenceba. Musani ukugweba, naye akuyi kugwetywa; musani ukugweba, naye anisayi kugwetywa… ”(Luka 6:37)

Kukho isibhalo esincinci endisoloko ndibakhumbuza ngaso abantwana bam naninina xa kukho ukungqubana okuncinci, ngakumbi, nanini na xa sikulungele ukugxeka iimpazamo zomnye: “thwalisanani ubunzima. ”

Bazalwana, nokuba umntu uthe waqutyulwa nokuqutyulwa sisiphoso esithile, nina bangaboMoya, mlulekeni onjalo ninomoya wobulali; uzilumkela ukuba ungahendwa nawe. Thwalisanani ubunzima, ukuze niwuzalise umthetho kaKristu. (Gal 6: 1-2)

Nanini na xa ndibona iimpazamo zabanye, ndizama ukuzikhumbuza ngokukhawuleza ukuba andisoloko ndisilele ngendlela efanayo, kodwa ndinazo neempazamo zam kwaye ndingumoni. Ngaloo mizuzu, kunokuba ndigxeke, ndikhetha ukuthandaza, “Nkosi, ndixolele, kuba ndiyindoda enesono. Yiba nenceba kum nakumntakwethu. ” Ngale ndlela, utsho uPaul Paul, sizalisekisa umthetho kaKrestu, othi sithandane njengoko wasithandayo.

Kukangaphi iNkosi ixolela kwaye izityeshela iimpazamo zethu?

Elowo makangakhathalele okukokwakhe kuphela; KwabaseFilipi 2: 4.

II. Xolela, ngokuphindaphindiweyo

Kwicatshulwa elivela kuLuka, uYesu uqhubeka athi:

Xolela uze uxolelwe. (Luka 6:37)

Kukho ingoma ethandwayo apho amazwi esiya khona:

Kubuhlungu, kubuhlungu
Kutheni singenakuthetha nje ngayo?
Oh kubonakala kum
Uxolo olo lubonakala iligama elinzima.
—UElton John, "Uxolo Kubonakala ngathi lelona Lizwi Linzima"

Ubukrakra nokwahlukana kuhlala kusisiqhamo sokungaxoleli, esinokuthi sithathe uhlobo lokungahoyi umntu, simnike igxalaba elibandayo, ukuhleba okanye ukunyelisa, ukuhlala kwiimpazamo zabo, okanye ukubaphatha ngokwexesha labo elidlulileyo. UYesu, kwakhona, ungumzekelo wethu obalaseleyo. Xa wabonakala kubapostile kwigumbi eliphezulu okokuqala emva kokuvuka kwakhe, akazange abahlekise ngokubaleka umyezo. Endaweni yokuba athi, “Uxolo malube nani.”

Zamani ukuba noxolo nabantu bonke, kunye nobungcwele obungenakubonwa mntu ngaphandle kweNkosi. Lumkani kungabikho mntu uphulukana nalo ubabalo lukaThixo, ukuze kungabikho ngcambu ikrakra ivelayo idale ububi, apho abaninzi banokuhlanjelwa. (Heb 12: 14-15)

Xolela, nokuba kubuhlungu. Xa uxolela, uqhekeza umjikelo wenzondo kwaye ukhulule imixokelelwane yomsindo ejikeleze intliziyo yakho. Nokuba abanakuxolela, ubuncinci uyiyo free.

III. Mamela enye

Ukwahlukana kuhlala kusisiqhamo sokungakwazi kwethu ukumamelana, ndithetha ukuthi, ngempela mamela-ngakumbi xa sele sakhe inqaba yemigwebo ngokuchasene no-Yehova enye. Ukuba kukho umntu ebomini bakho ohlukane naye kabuhlungu, ukuba kunokwenzeka, hlala phantsi kwaye lalela kwicala labo lebali. Oku kuthatha ukukhula. Yiva ngaphandle kokuzikhusela. Kwaye emva koko, xa umamele, yabelana ngembono yakho kakuhle, ngomonde. Ukuba kukho ukuthanda okuhle kumacala omabini, uxolelwaniso lunokwenzeka. Yiba nomonde kuba kungathatha ixesha ukungaziphenduli izigqibo kunye nokucingela okudala ubunyani bobuxoki. Khumbula, oko kwathethwa nguSt.

… Umzabalazo wethu awungowenyama negazi kodwa ngowokuzilawula, namagunya, nabalawuli behlabathi bobu bumnyama, kunye noomoya abakhohlakeleyo emazulwini. (Efese 6:12)

Wonke umntu kuthi-ekhohlo, ekunene, okhululekileyo, olondolozayo, omnyama, omhlophe, oyindoda, owasetyhini-sivela kwisitokhwe esinye; sopha igazi elifanayo; Sonke siyenye yeengcinga zikaThixo. U-Yesu akafelanga amaKatolika alungileyo, kodwa wafela abantu abakholelwa ngokungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo, abakhululekileyo abaneenkani, kunye nabazidla ngokuzimela. Wasifela sonke.

Kulula kakhulu ukuba nenceba xa siqonda ukuba ummelwane wethu ngokwenyani akasilolutshaba emva koko.

Ukuba kuyenzeka, kwicala lenu, hlalani ngoxolo nabantu bonke… Masisukele ke ngoko, oko kukhokelela eluxolweni nasekwakhaneni. (Roma 12:18, 14:19)

IV. Thatha inyathelo lokuqala

Apho kukho ukungaboni ngasonye neyantlukwano kubudlelwane bethu, njengamaKristu okwenyani, kufuneka senze eyethu indima ukuyiphelisa.

Banoyolo abaxolisi; ngokuba baya kubizwa ngokuthi bangoonyana bakaThixo bona. (Mat 5: 9)

Kwaye kwakhona,

… Ukuba uwusondeza umnikelo wakho esibingelelweni, wathi ulapho wakhumbula ukuba umzalwana wakho unento ngakuwe, shiya isipho sakho apho phambi kwesibingelelo, uhambe uye; kuqala uxolelaniswe nomzalwana wakho, wandule ukuza unikele isipho sakho. (Mat 5: 23-24)

Ngokucacileyo, uYesu ucela mna nawe ukuba sithathe inyathelo lokuqala.

Ndiyakhumbula ekuqalekeni kobulungiseleli bam kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, umfundisi othile wayebonakala ngathi uzokundinceda. Kwiintlanganiso, wayedla ngokudibana nam kwaye apholise emva koko. Ngenye imini, ndaya kuye ndathi, “Fr., ndiye ndaqaphela ukuba ubonakala ngathi uyandicaphukisa, kwaye bendizibuza ukuba ikhona into endiyenzileyo ukukhubekisa? Ukuba kunjalo, ndifuna ukucela uxolo. ” Wahlala phantsi umfundisi, waphefumlela phezulu wathi, “Owu wethu. Apha ndingumbingeleli, kanti ke nguwe oza kum. Ndixakiwe kakhulu — ndicela uxolo. ” Uqhubeke wachaza ukuba kutheni engenamsebenzi. Njengoko ndandichaza umbono wam, izigwebo zatyhilwa, kwaye kwakungekho nto iseleyo ngaphandle koxolo.

Kunzima kwaye kuhlazisa ngamanye amaxesha ukuthi, "Uxolo." Kodwa usikelelekile xa usenza njalo. Usikelelekile.

V. Makuhambe…

Eyona nto inzima ukuyenza ngokwahlulahlula kukuba "siyeke," ngakumbi xa singaqondwa kakuhle kwaye izigwebo okanye ukuhleba okanye ukwaliwa kujinga phezu kweentloko zethu njengelifu elicinezelayo-kwaye asinakuzinceda ukuyiphelisa. Ukuhamba umlo weFacebook, ukuya vumela omnye umntu abe nelizwi lakhe lokugqibela, ukuphela ngaphandle kokuba kwenziwe ubulungisa okanye igama lakho lingqinelwe… ngaloo maxesha, sichazwa njengabatshutshiswa nguKristu: ogculelwayo, ogculelwayo, Lowo ungaqondakaliyo.

Kwaye njengaye, kungcono ukhethe "uxolo" ngokuthi cwaka. ^[1]cf. Impendulo ethe cwaka Kodwa ke kukuthula okusihlabe kakhulu kuba asisenabo “ooSimon baseKirene” bokusixhasa, izihlwele ukuba zingqine, okanye zibonakalise ubulungisa beNkosi ukuba busikhusele. Asinanto ngaphandle komthi okhuni woMnqamlezo… kodwa ngalo mzuzu, umanyene noYesu ekubandezelekeni kwakho.

Ngokwam, ndikufumanisa kunzima kakhulu oku, kuba ndizalelwe le nkonzo; ukuba ngumphumi-mkhosi… (Igama lam nguMark elithetha "igorha"; igama lam eliphakathi nguMichael, emva kwengelosi enkulu; kunye negama lam lokugqibela nguMallett - "isando")… kodwa kufuneka ndikhumbule ukuba ubungqina bethu abukhuseli nje inyaniso, kodwa uthando uYesu wabonisa ebusweni bokungabikho kokusesikweni, okwakungekuko ukulwa, kodwa ukubeka ukukhusela kwakhe, udumo lwakhe, nokuba nesidima sakhe ngenxa yothando lomnye.

Musa ukoyiswa bububi kodwa boyise ububi ngokulungileyo. (Roma 12:21)

Njengabazali, kunzima kakhulu ukuyeka umntwana esahlulelene naye, umntwana ovukelayo akwalale oko ubafundise kona. Kubuhlungu ukwaliwa ngumntwana wakho! Kodwa apha, sibiziwe ukuba sixelise utata wonyana wolahleko: yekela… Kwaye emva koko, ube bubuso bothando olungenamiqathango kunye nenceba kubo. Asinguye uMsindisi wabantwana bethu. Unkosikazi wam sinabantwana abasibhozo. Kodwa nganye yazo yahluke kakhulu kwenye. Benziwe ngokomfanekiso kaThixo, ukususela ebutsheni ukuya phambili, bafumana amandla okukhetha ngokwentando yabo. Kuya kufuneka siyihloniphe kanye njengokuba sizama ukuyenza. Yekela. Vumela uThixo. Imithandazo yakho ngelo xesha inamandla amakhulu kunempikiswano engapheliyo…

IINKONZO ZOXOLO

Bazalwane noodade, ilizwe lisemngciphekweni wokunyuka ngomlilo wentiyo. Kodwa lithuba elingakanani lokuba ngamangqina kubumnyama besahlulo! Ukububuso obukhanyayo benceba phakathi kobuso bomsindo.

Kuzo zonke iimpazamo kunye nokusilela anokuba nako uPopu wethu, ndiyakholelwa kwakhe uyilo loyilo lokushumayela kwi U-Evangelii Gaudium ilungile kula maxesha. Yinkqubo ebizayo us ukuba ubuso bolonwabo, us ukuba ubuso benceba, us Ukufikelela kwimiphetho apho imiphefumlo ihlala yodwa, ikhathazekile kwaye iphelelwe lithemba… mhlawumbi, kwaye ingakumbi kwabo sihlukane nabo.

Uluntu olushumayelayo lubandakanyeka ngamazwi nangezenzo kubomi babantu bemihla ngemihla; ivala imigama emide, ikulungele ukuzithoba xa kukho imfuneko, kwaye yamkela ubomi bomntu, ichukumisa inyama ebandezelekileyo kaKristu kwabanye. -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-24

U-Yesu wenyukela ezulwini ukuze asithumelele uMoya. Ngoba? Ukuze wena kunye nam sikwazi ukusebenzisana ekugqityweni komsebenzi weNtlawulelo, kuqala ngaphakathi kwethu, kwaye nakwilizwe elisingqongileyo.

AmaKristu abizelwe ukuba abe ziimpawu zikaKristu, ukumbonakalisa. Sibizelwe ukumenza umntu ebomini bethu, sambathe ubomi bethu kunye naye, ukuze abantu bambone kuthi, bamchukumise kuthi, bamqonde kuthi. -UMkhonzi kaThixo Catherine de Hueck Doherty, ukusuka IVangeli ngaphandle kokuLalanisa; icatshulwe kwi Amaxesha oBabalo, January 19th

Ewe, banoyolo abaxolisi!
