Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha

PHA Yimbono eCaweni yokuba ukushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo kwabathile abakhethiweyo. Sibamba iinkomfa okanye amarhamente kwaye abo “bambalwa banyuliweyo” beza bathethe nathi, bashumayele, kwaye bafundise. Kodwa ngokubhekisele kuthi sonke, uxanduva lwethu kukuya eMassini kwaye sigcine isono.

Akukho nto inokuthi iqhubeke nenyaniso.

Xa uYesu wathi iCawa “yityuwa yehlabathi,” wayenenjongo yokusifefa kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi: imfundo, ezopolitiko, amayeza, inzululwazi, ubugcisa, usapho, unqulo, njalo njalo. Apho, kwindawo esizifumana sikuyo, kufuneka sibe ngamangqina kaYesu, kungekuphela nje kwindlela esiphila ngayo, kodwa ngokungqina amandla akhe ebomini bethu kunye nentswelo yethu kuYe njengokuphela kwendlela esa ebomini obungunaphakade. Kodwa ngubani ocinga ngolu hlobo? Bambalwa kakhulu, nto leyo eyakhokelela uPopu Paul VI kwincwadi yakhe ebalaseleyo, Evangelii Nuntiandi:

Kumhla wethu, kuye kwenzeka ntoni kuloo mandla afihlakeleyo eendaba ezilungileyo, anokuba nempembelelo enamandla kwisazela somntu? …Imiqobo elolo hlobo ikho nanamhlanje, kwaye siya kuzilinganisela ekukhankanyeni ukunqongophala komdla. Ibaluleke ngakumbi kuba isuka ngaphakathi. Kubonakaliswa ngokudinwa, ukudimazeka, ukulungelelana, ukungabi namdla kwaye ngaphezu kwakho konke ukungabikho kovuyo kunye nethemba. — “Kuvangelo kwihlabathi lanamhlanje”, n. 4, n. 80; IVatican.va

Kungoko, intlekele elithe ihlabathi lingene kuyo, engeyiyo enye into ngaphandle kokusithwa kweenyaniso zikaKrestu ezisindisayo, ezisithwe ngokuyinxenye yiCawe ethe ngokwayo yalulibala uthumo, yaphulukana nenzondelelo yayo, yaphulukana nayo. uthando lokuqala. ^[1]cf. Uthando Lokuqala Lulahlekile Ufundo lokuqala lwangoLwesithathu lunengxamiseko ethile kulo kwixesha lethu:

UThixo uye wawabetha ngoyaba amaxesha okungazi, kodwa ngoku ufuna ukuba bonke abantu kuyo yonke indawo baguquke kuba umise imini aya ‘kugweba ngayo ihlabathi ngokusesikweni’.

Ngubani ongacingiyo ngamazwi kaYesu awawabhekisa kwiNgcwele uFaustina esithi ihlabathi ngoku liphila ‘kwixesha lenceba’ eliya kuthi kungekudala lithabathel’ indawo ixesha lokusesikweni? Ewe, kukho ukungxamiseka njengoko sibona uninzi lwabahlobo bethu, usapho, nabamelwane bethu betsiba iinqanawa ukusuka ePeter’s Barque ukuya kwisikhephe sikaSathana, zonke zikhanyiswe ngezibane zeplastiki ezingabizi kangako.

Kungenxa yoko le nto imibhalo yam yamva nje "kwidangatye lothando" inokubaluleka kwangexesha. “Sivuse edangatyeni isipho sikaThixo onaso,” Wathi oNgcwele uPawulos kuTimoti oselula noneentloni, ngokuba “UThixo akasinikanga moya wabugwala kodwa wasinika owamandla nothando nokuzeyisa.” ^[2]cf. 2 Tim 1: 6-7 Enye indlela endiye ndafumanisa ngayo ukuba uThixo uxhokonxa uthando lwakhe entliziyweni yam kukwabelana ngalo. Kanye njengokuba ukuvula umnyango weziko ngequbuliso kwandisa uyilo, ngokunjalo, xa siqala ukuvula iintliziyo zethu ukwabelana ngobomi bukaYesu, abalandeli boMoya bavutha amandla eLizwi. Uthando ngumlilo ozala umlilo ngakumbi.

Ukufundwa kweMisa kule veki kusifundisa ukuba nesibindi-kweqela eliyimfuneko zonke UmKristu xa kuziwa kukuvangela. Kuba iSt. Kwenye indawo, amakhaya ayaguquka, kwenye agatye lula iimbono zakhe, aze kwenye amvalele entolongweni. Ukanti, uPawulos Ongcwele akalivumeli ikratshi elenzakeleyo, uloyiko, okanye ubuthathaka bumthintele ekubeni abelane ngeVangeli. Ngoba? Imiphumo ixhomekeke kuThixo, kungekhona kuye.

Sifunde kwisifundo sokuqala sangoMvulo sokuguqulwa kukaLidiya.

… INkosi yayivula intliziyo yayo ukuba imamele le nto ithethwa nguPawulos.

NguMoya Oyingcwele, “uMoya weNyaniso” okhokelela imiphefumlo enyanisweni (iVangeli yangoLwesithathu). UMoya oyiNgcwele ulukhanyiso oluphuma kwiziko lentliziyo yethu elivutha umlilo kuThixo. Ukuba omnye umphefumlo uthobekile kuMoya, ngoko ke ilangatye lothando ezintliziyweni zethu sinokutsibela kwezazo. Asinakunyanzela nabani na ukuba akholelwe njengokuba singakwazi ukukhanyisa isigodo esimanzi.

Kodwa asimele sigwebe umphefumlo okanye imeko. Phezu kwazo nje iingxaki, uPawulos noSilas bakhetha ukudumisa uThixo kwimixokelelwane yabo. UThixo usebenzisa ukuthembeka kwabo ukuze ashukumise isazela somlindi wentolongo aze enze inguquko yakhe. Kukangaphi sithe cwaka kuba sivakalelwa kukuba omnye uya kusilahla, asitshutshise, asithuke… aze ngaloo ndlela aphulukane nethuba elinokutshintsha ubomi?

Ndikhumbula xa olu bhalo lobupostile lwaqala kwiminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo ngelizwi eliqatha elivela eNkosini:

Wena ke, nyana womntu, ndikwenze umthetheli kwindlu kaSirayeli; xa uthe waliva ilizwi emlonyeni wam, uze ubalumkise bona ngenxa yam. Ndakuthi kongendawo, Wena ungendawo, uya kufa, wena ungendawo, umelwe kukufa; wena usuke ungathethi ukuba ubalumkise ongendawo ngeendlela zabo, uya kufa ngenxa yezono zabo, kodwa igazi labo ndiya kulibeka kuwe. ( Hezekile 33:7-8 )

Ndiyambulela uThixo ngala mazwi kuba uye wandityhala phezu kweentaba zokoyika amaxesha ngamaxesha. Ndicinga kwakhona ngomfundisi omhle waseMelika endimaziyo, indoda ethobekileyo, engcwele umntu anokucinga ukuba “yizihlangu” eZulwini. Kanti ke, ngenye imini iNkosi yambonisa umbono wesihogo. “Kulapho uSathana anigcinele khona ukuba aniyi kubalusa imiphefumlo endiniphathise yona.” Naye uye wayibulela kakhulu iNkosi ngesi “sipho” esiye sagcina ilangabi entliziyweni yakhe lingaphumi nobulungiseleli bakhe bungabi dikidiki.

Oku kunokuvakala kungqongqo kuthi. Kodwa jonga, uYesu akazange afele emnqamlezweni ukuze sihlale phantsi kwaye sibe nepikiniki ngelixa imiphefumlo iwela esihogweni njengamahlwantsi ekhephu. UMyalelo oMkhulu wokwenza abafundi ezintlangeni wanikelwa thina-kuthi ngo-2014 ngoku siyinzala kunye nabantwana basePostile Succession. Ngoko ke makhe sive ububele beNkosi yethu ethi kuPawulos iSt.

Sukoyika. Qhubeka uthethe, ungathi cwaka, kuba ndinawe. (Ufundo lokuqala lolwesihlanu)

Masithi, njengoMariya, kwiVangeli yangoMgqibelo, “singxamele” kummelwane wethu ukuze sibazise uYesu ophila kuthi—ophilayo. Idangatye Lothando enokunyibilikisa iintliziyo, idle isono, yenze yonke into ibe ntsha. Ewe, masikhawuleze.

… Kufuneka sizivuselele ngaphakathi kuthi inkuthazo yeziqalo kwaye sizivumele ukuba sigcwale inzondelelo yentshumayelo yabapostile eyalandela iPentekoste. Kufuneka sizihlaziye ngokwethu intembelo kaPawulos, owakhwaza esithi: “Yeha ke mna ukuba andizishumayeli iindaba ezilungileyo” (1 Kor 9: 16). Olu thando aluyi kusilela ekuvuseleleni eCaweni imo entsha yokuthunywa, engenakushiyeka kwiqela "leengcali" kodwa kufuneka ibandakanye uxanduva lwawo onke amalungu aBantu bakaThixo. —ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, Novo Millennio Ineuente, n. I-40
