NABANINZI AmaKatolika aya eMisa rhoqo ngeCawa, ajoyine iiKnights zaseColumbus okanye i-CWL, abeke imali encinci kwingqokelela yokuqokelela, njl. akukho nyani inguqu Iintliziyo zabo ngakumbi nangakumbi ebungcweleni, ngakumbi nangakumbi kwiNkosi yethu uqobo, ukuze baqale ukuthetha noSt. “Ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum. Njengokuba ngoku ndihleli ndisenyameni, ndibudlela ekukholweni kuNyana kaThixo, owandithandayo, wazinikela ngenxa yam. ^[1]cf. Gal 2: 20

Ngubani ophinde athethe ngolu hlobo? Kunini apho iingxoxo zethu namanye amaKhatholika zibandakanya izinto zikaThixo, ubomi bangaphakathi, okanye ukwabelana nabanye ngeVangeli? Enyanisweni, ezi phantse zizifundo ezingachanekanga kwezopolitiko ngoku! Omnye umntu usandul’ ukundixelela indlela ababuza ngayo umfundisi wabo enoba wayeya kuthetha na ngolwalamano lobuqu noYesu, yaye waphendula wathi, “Andinakukwazi kuba andiyazi ukuba kuthetha ukuthini oko mna ngokwam.” ^[2]cf. Ubudlelwane bomntu kunye noYesus

Masilwe neengcinga ezisoloko zisenziwa yiHollywood kunye ne-evangelical fundamentalism, sisenza kubonakale ngathi umKristu ozimiseleyo udla ngokuba ngumKristu oqaqadekileyo. Kufuneka si…

…sikhuphe kuwo wonke umthwalo nesono esisibambezelayo… (isifundo sokuqala namhlanje)

Kule meko, omnye wemithwalo nezono esizithweleyo likratshi lethu—ixhala lokuba abantu bacinga ntoni ngathi: “NdingumKatolika, kodwa izulu liyala “unqulo”! Kodwa esi sisikhubekiso esimbi kangangokuba umntu akabi semngciphekweni wokungakhuli nje ekukhuleni kwakhe eNkosini, kodwa aphulukane nokholo lwakhe ngokupheleleyo. Njengoko iSt.

Ngaba ngoku ndithandaza ebantwini okanye kuThixo? Ndifuna ukukholisa abantu na? Ukuba ndingaba ndisakholisa abantu, ndingaba andingumkhonzi kaKristu. (Gal 1:10)

Okulusizi kukuba, amaKatolika amaninzi afana nesihlwele esalandela uYesu kwincwadi yeVangeli yanamhlanje. Batyhutyha amagxa kunye Naye iyure ngeveki ngeCawe, bathetha kanjalo, kodwa abafikeleli kuye ngolo kholo lushukumisa iintaba, olo kholo lulodwa lukhulula amandla akhe ebomini bomntu.

Kwaye kukho ntokazi eyayinethombo legazi iminyaka elishumi elinamibini; yathi, Ukuba ndithe ndachukumisa iingubo zakhe nje, ndophiliswa. Woma kwaoko ithombo legazi lakhe. Weva emzimbeni wakhe ukuba uphilile kweso sifo. Wathi ke yena kuye, Ntombi yam, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; Hamba ngoxolo…”

Oko kukuthi, “asimchukumisi ngeentliziyo zethu,” njengoko watshoyo uSt. Augustine.

Kodwa kukho olunye uhlobo lobuKatolika, kwaye ndiyarhana ukuba uninzi lwenu olufundayo lukolu didi. Ulandela uYesu, kodwa uvakalelwa kukuba ubomi bakho abutshintshi, ukuba awukhuli kwisidima, ukuba awuzinzulu ubomi bakho kuKristu. Kodwa kulapho ndicela ukuba ungazigwebi. KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, umfazi owophayo wafuna ukuphiliswa iminyaka elishumi elinambini ngaphambi kokuba ayifumane. Kwaye ke kukho uYayiro, oweza kuKristu embongoza ukuba aphilise intombi yakhe. Kwabonakala ngathi uThixo uza kuwuphendula ngoko nangoko umthandazo wakhe… kodwa ke kwafika ulibaziseko… ukuphikisana… nkqu ukuphelelwa lithemba kuba uYesu wabonakala ‘elele emkhombeni’ kwakhona.

Ke, namhlanje, mzalwana nodade othandekayo, ndiyaphinda ndithi: musa ukuzigweba ^[3]cf. 1 Kor 4:3 okanye ugwebe uThixo kunye nendlela asebenza ngayo. Mhlawumbi uphakathi komnqamlezo ombi: ukulahlekelwa ngumsebenzi, ukulahlekelwa ngumntu omthandayo, ukwahlukana okubuhlungu, ukomisa ngokomoya, okanye ukopha kwentliziyo yakho ngenxa yamanxeba obutsha bakho. Ndiyakuxelela, sukuncama. Oku ke iyure yokholo ngenxa yakho, kwangololo ukholo owaphilisayo lo mfazi, wayivusa kwabafileyo intombi kaYayiro; if uyanyamezela. UYesu wazi kakuhle into oyidingayo, xa uyidinga. Usenokukwenza ukuba ulindele intuthuzelo yakhe, akushiye kancinane emnqamlezweni, kodwa ukuze uzinikele ngakumbi nangakumbi kuye, ukuze ukholo lwakho lube nzulu. ngokwenene. Kufuneka wenze kuphela le nto iNgcwele uPawulos isixelela yona namhlanje:

…zingise ekubalekeni ugqatso oluphambi kwethu ngoxa sithe ntsho kuYesu, inkokeli nomgqibelelisi wokholo.

ufefe ngeke yiza; ukuphilisa ngeke yiza; usondele uYehova, akayi kukulahla. Ngecala lakho, libala ukuba ihlabathi okanye usapho lwakho ucinga ntoni ngawe, nokuba bayakugculela njengoko benzayo uYesu kwiVangeli yanamhlanje. Kunoko, mfuneni ngentliziyo yenu yonke njengendoda okanye umfazi onxanelwe amanzi, ngokuba unguThixo amanzi aphilayo oko yodwa kuya kukwanelisa umphefumlo wakho.

Ngenxa yovuyo oluphambi kwakhe UYesu wawunyamezela umnqamlezo, elidela ihlazo lawo...

Ungavumeli nantoni na ithintele ekuchukumiseni umqukumbelo kaYesu ngentliziyo yakho, oko kukuthi, ngokuthandaza ngokusuka entliziyweni, uthethe naye ngamazwi akho ngeenyembezi nezibongozo, uze ulindele ukuba eze njengoko uqwalasela amehlo akho kuye. Yena (elithetha ukufunda iLizwi lakhe, ukuthandaza rhoqo, ukuzixhalabisa ngokuthanda ummelwane wakho njengoko ethandile nawe).

Qwalaselani, ukunyamezeleni kwakhe inkcaso enjalo kuboni, ukuze ningadinwa, ningatyhafi.

Ndiyakuthembisa, xa uhlwayela iinyembezi zakho entliziyweni yakhe, uya kuvuna uvuyo lwentliziyo yakhe. Lo ngumyalezo endisabelana ngawo endleleni njengoko ukhenketho lwam lwekonsathi luqhubeka… kwaye ndiyabulela kuThixo, imiphefumlo emininzi iphila kwaye iqala ukufikelela kumphetho kaKristu.
