Ixesha le-St. Joseph

St. Joseph, NguTianna (Mallett) Williams

 

Kuza ilixa, nakaloku lifikile, lokuba nichithwe.
ngamnye aye ekhayeni lakhe, nize nindishiye ndedwa.
Kodwa andindedwa ngenxa yokuba uBawo unam.
Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze nibe noxolo kum.
Ehlabathini ujongene nentshutshiso. Kodwa yomelela;
Ndoyisile ihlabathi!
(UYohane 16: 32-33)

 

NINI Umhlambi kaKristu uhluthwe iSakramente, wakhutshelwa ngaphandle eMthendelekweni, kwaye usasazeke ngaphandle kwedlelo lakhe, unokuziva ngathi ngumzuzwana wokulahlwa ubawo ngokomoya. Umprofeti uHezekile wathetha ngeli xesha:

Zaba lusali ngokungabi namalusi; zaba kukudla kwawo onke amarhamncwa. Umhlambi wam uthe saa, zaphambukela kuzo zonke iintaba, neenduli zonke eziphakamileyo. iigusha zam zazithe saa ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, zingenabani wokuzikhangela nokuzibonaek kubo. (UHezekile 34: 5-6)

Ewe, amawaka ababingeleli kwihlabathi liphela bavalelwe ezindlwini zabo, benza iMisa, bethandazela iigusha zabo. Ukanti, umhlambi uhlala ulambile, ukhalela iSonka soBomi kunye neLizwi likaThixo.

Yabonani, iyeza imihla, endiya kuthumela ukulamba kulo ilizwe, kungabi kuko ukulambela isonka, kungabi kuko ukunxanela amanzi; (Amosi 8:11)

Kodwa uYesu, uMalusi oMkhulu, Uyakuva ukukhala kweentsizana. Akazange azilahle izimvu zaKhe, nanini na. Utsho uNdikhoyo ukuthi:

Yabonani, mna ngokwam ndiya kuwukhathalela umhlambi wam, ndiwuvelele. Njengomalusi ofuna umhlambi wakhe xa ezinye zezimvu zakhe zazichithachithekile, ngokunjalo ndiya kuzifuna iigusha zam; kwaye ndiza kubahlangula kwiindawo zonke apho babechithachitheke khona ngemini yamafu nesithokothoko. (UHezekile 34: 11-12)

Ke, ngalo mzuzu abathembekileyo bahluthwe abelusi babo, U-Yesu ngokwakhe ubonelele ngoyise wokomoya ngeli lixa: St. uYosefu.

 

IXESHA LE ST. UYOSEFU

Khumbula ukuba uMama wethu “sisipili” seCawa:

Xa kuthethwa ngayo, intsingiselo inokuqondwa zombini, phantse ngaphandle kwesiqinisekiso. -Usikelelwe uIsake waseStella, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqu. Mna, iphe. 252

Xa kusondela ixesha lokuzalwa kukaKrestu, isiganeko esimangalisayo "kwihlabathi liphela" senzeka.

Ke kaloku ngaloo mihla kwaphuma ummiselo kuKesare Awugusto othi, malibhalwe encwadini yomlibo wokuzalwa lonke elimiweyo. (ULuka 2: 1)

Kananjalo, aBantu bakaThixo babenjalo ngenkani ukushiya imeko yabo yangoku kwaye babuyele kumakhaya abo okuzalwa ukuze babe "bhaliswe. ” Kwakungexesha lokuthinjwa apho wayeza kuzalwa khona uYesu. Ngokukwanjalo, iNenekazi lethu, "umfazi owambethe ilanga," uyasebenza kwakhona ukuzala lonke Inkonzo…

… Umele kwangaxeshanye iBandla liphela, aBantu bakaThixo ngawo onke amaxesha, iBandla elihlala libuhlungu libuhlungu libuye lizale uKristu ngamaxesha onke.—UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, uCastel Gandolfo, e-Itali, uAUG. 23, 2006; Zenit 

Njengoko singena Utshintsho olukhulu, ke ngoko, ikwanjalo Ixesha leSt. Kuba wabelwa ukuba akhusele kwaye akhokele uMama wethu kwi Indawo yokuzalelwa. Ngokunjalo, uThixo umnike lo msebenzi ungakholelekiyo ukukhokelela i-Woman-Church entsha Isahluko soxolo. Namhlanje ayisosikhumbuzo esiqhelekileyo somthendeleko waseSt. Ikhokelwa nguBawo oyiNgcwele eRoma e iyure yomlindo, iBandla liphela lalibekwe phantsi kweliso likaSt Joseph — kwaye siza kuhlala sinjalo de kube Ihlabathi likaHerode liyasuswa.

 

UKUQESHWA KWI-ST UYOSEFU

Ngale njikalanga, kanye xa uPopu Francis wayeqala irosari, ndaziva ndikhuthazekile ukuba ndibhale umthandazo wokumisela uSt.Joseph (ngezantsi). Ukungcwalisa ngokulula kuthetha "ukubekela bucala" -ukunikezela, ngokungathi kunjalo, isiqu sakho komnye. Kwaye kutheni? UYesu wazinikela ngokupheleleyo kubo bobabini uSt.Joseph noMama wethu. NjengoMzimba waKhe Oyimfihlakalo, simelwe kukuba senze njengoko iNtloko yethu yenzile. Ngaba ayisiyongxaki leyo, kunye nokungcwaliswa, kwaye oko kuMama wethu, uyila, ngokungathi kunjalo, enye iNtsapho eNgcwele?

Okokugqibela, ngaphambi kokuba wenze esi senzo sokungcwaliswa, lilizwi nje kuYosefu ngokwakhe. Uyimodeli enzulu kuthi kula maxesha anzima kakhulu njengoko sisondela kwi Iliso leSiphango.

Wayeyindoda ye cwaka, naxa imbandezelo kunye "nesoyikiso" zimngqongile. Wayeyindoda ye ukucamngca, abakwaziyo ukuyiva iNkosi. Wayeyindoda ye thobeka, Ndiyakwazi ukwamkela iLizwi likaThixo. Wayeyindoda ye thobela, elungele ukwenza nantoni na axelelwa yona.

Bazalwane noodade, le ngxaki ikhoyo sisiqalo nje. Imimoya enamandla ethunyelwe ukusilinga ngeli lixa yile Ukuchasana neentsholongwane yobume bukaSt. Umoya Ukoyika Ngaba ungasifaka kwingxolo kunye noloyiko lomhlaba; umoya we ukuphazamiseka ingaphulukana nengqwalaselo yethu kubukho bukaThixo; umoya we nekratshi Ndingathanda ukuba sithathe imicimbi ezandleni zethu; nomoya we ukungathobeli Ngaba ufuna sivukele uThixo?

Mthobeleni ngoko uThixo. Mchaseni uMtyholi, wonibaleka. (Yakobi 4: 7)

Nantsi indlela yokuzithoba kuThixo: xelisa uSt, ibhalwe la mazwi amnandi kaIsaya. Yenza le ibe yeyakho inkolo ukuphila kwimihla ezayo:

 

Ngokulinda nangokuthula, uya kusindiswa,
ekuphumleni nasekuthembeleni kuya kubakho amandla akho. (Isaya 30:15)

UMTHETHO WOKUZIBEKELA KWI-ST. UYOSEFU

Othandekayo St Joseph,
Umgcini kaKristu, Umlingane weNtombikazi kaMariya
UMkhuseli weCawa:
Ndizibeka phantsi kobawo bakho.
Njengoko uYesu noMariya bakunike ukuba ukhusele kwaye ukhokele,
ukondla nokubakhusela
Intili yeThunzi lokufa,
Ndizinikela kubutata bakho obungcwele.
Ndiqokelelele ezingalweni zakho zothando, njengoko ubuqokelele iNtsapho yakho eNgcwele.
Ndicinezele entliziyweni yakho njengoko ucinezele umntwana wakho oyiNgcwele;
ndibambe ngokuqinileyo njengokuba wawubambe uMtshakazi wakho oyiNtombi;
Ndilamlele nabantu endibathandayo
njengokuba wawuthandazela usapho lwakho oluthandayo.
Ndithabathe, ngoko, njengomntwana wakho; ndikhusele;
Ndilinde; ungaze ulibale ngam.
Ukuba ndithe ndaphambuka, undifumane njengoko wamfumanayo uNyana wakho oyiNgcwele,
undibeke kwakhona enkathalelweni yakho ukuze ndomelele,
Ndizele bubulumko, kwaye ubabalo lukaThixo luphezu kwam.

Ke ngoko, ndizingcwalisa yonke into endiyiyo kunye nayo yonke into endingeyiyo
ezandleni zakho ezingcwele.
Njengokuba wakrola umthi womthi,
bumba kwaye ubumbe umphefumlo wam ube ngumfanekiso ogqibeleleyo woMsindisi wethu.
Njengoko uphumle kwi-Divine Will, ngokunjalo, ngothando lukabawo,
Ndincede ndiphumle kwaye ndihlale ndihleli kwiNtando kaThixo,
side simamkele ekugqibeleni eBukumkanini baKhe obungunaphakade,
ngoku nangonaphakade, Amen.

(ebhalwe nguMark Mallett)
