Ukuzalwa / Ukufa, UMichael D. O'Brien
NGAPHAKATHI Kuphela ngeveki yokuphakama kwakhe esihlalweni sikaPeter, uPapa Francis I sele enike icawe incwadi yakhe yokuqala yokufundisa: ukufundiswa kokulula kobuKristu. Akukho xwebhu, akukho sibhengezo, akukho lupapasho-ubungqina nje obunamandla bobomi obuqinisekileyo bobuhlwempu bobuKristu.
Phantse yonke imihla edlulayo, sibona umsonto wobomi buka-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio-phambi-kukapapa eqhubeka nokuzilungisa ekwakhiweni kwesihlalo sikaPeter. Ewe, lo popu wokuqala wayengumlobi nje, ihlwempu, elula (imisonto yokuqala yayingumnatha wokuloba nje). Xa uPetros wehlayo kwizinyuko zeGumbi eliPhezulu (kwaye waqala ukunyuka kwamanyathelo asezulwini), akazange ahambe nenkcukacha zokhuseleko, nangona isoyikiso kwiCawe esandula kuzalwa sasiyinyani. Wayehamba phakathi kwamahlwempu, abagulayo nabaqhwalelayo: “Isilivere negolide andinayo, kodwa into endinayo ndikunika yona: egameni likaYesu Kristu umNazorean, vuka uhambe." [1]cf. KwiZenzo 3:6 Ngokukwanjalo, uPopu Francis ukhwele ibhasi, wahamba phakathi kwezihlwele, wehlisa ikhaka lakhe lokuqinisekisa ubungqina bembumbulu, kwaye "masingcamle kwaye silubone" uthando lukaKristu. Waye wazitsalela umnxeba ngenjongo yokurhoxisa ukuhanjiswa kwephephandaba lakhe eArgentina. [2]www. wqwaba.ru
Bantakwethu noodadewethu… siboniswa kwakhona iinyawo ezimangalisayo nezingathandabuzekiyo zoMchweli waseNazarete, laa Nyana woMntu wayengenandawo yokubeka intloko. Kodwa akufuneki bajongeke, kodwa wangena. Ngale nyaniso ihlaziyayo, siboniswa umendo iBandla eli, ukuba thina kumele landela. Ewe, iBandla kufuneka lihlwempuzeke kwakhona. Kukangaphi ndiyiva iNkosi isithi, ngakumbi apha eNtshona, asinalwazi lokuba siwele kude kangakanani nothando lwethu lokuqala. [3]Rev 2: 4-5 Ukungcola kwehlabathi kugqugqisile, kubanzi kakhulu, kungene nzulu kwiCawa yale mihla, kangangokuba ihlabathi alisaboni uKristu kuthi, singaboni noKrestu omnye komnye. Umhlaba unesizungu kuba asimfumani Lowo simlangazelelayo! Kwaye ke sonke… yethu sonke… simkhangele kwenye indawo, nokuba kukonwaba okanye kubutofotofo bobuxoki, kwaye sishiywe silambile kwaye sihlupheka. Ewe, u-Mother Teresa wayexelwe ukuba wakha wathi, ukuba ebesazi ukuba ihlwempuzekile kwaye ilambile iMelika, ngewayeseza apho endaweni yaseCalcutta.
Icawa iya kwisiqhwithi esikhulu-kwi-Passion yakhe, njengoko uMzimba ulandela uYesu, iNtloko yakhe. UPopu uFrancis akathathanga kuphela isiphathamandla seBarque kaPeter, kodwa umhambisa ngqo kwi-Storm. Xa ilixesha lokuba uYesu asokole kwaye afe, wahamba waya ngqo eJerusalem. Ngokunjalo, uBawo oyiNgcwele ngomzekelo wakhe nokuthembeka kwakhe enyanisweni, uya kuvusa umona nentiyo "yeSanhedrin" nakwiinkundla zehlabathi zoluvo. Umbuzo ngoku ngulo, ngaba siya kulandela… okanye sitsibe inqanawa?
UKULUNGISELELA IPENTEKOSTE
Kukho “iPentekoste” isiza phezu kweBandla, kwaye uYesu ucenga abantu baKhe, uMtshakazi waKhe, ukubaphuma eBhabheli, ”Baphuma ekuthandeni izinto eziphathekayo okugubungele iindawo ezininzi zehlabathi nakwiBandla laKhe.
Phumani kuyo, bantu bam, hleze nibe nenxaxheba ezonweni zayo, hleze nibe nenxaxheba kwizibetho zayo. (ISityhi. 18: 4)
UYesu ufuna ukuthulula ubutyebi bokomoya kuthi, kodwa ukuba sigcwalise iintliziyo zethu ngobutyebi beli hlabathi, siyakuliphosa. Oku ixesha lokulungiselela, emva koko, ayisiyiyo kangako i ukuqinisa isohlwayo, Kodwa ukuza koMoya oyiNgcwele. Wakhe wamva nini uMama wethu osikelelweyo exelela abantwana bakhe ukuba mababanjwe luloyiko njengempendulo efanelekileyo kwimiyalezo yakhe? USathana ufuna ukuba sonke siphazamiseke kwaye sikhathazeke kwaye sixhalabe malunga neetsunami, iinyikima, uqoqosho, okanye oku nokuya kuthi xhaxhe apho abantu bangakwazi nokuthandaza okanye ukusebenza. IHollywood iye "yaphefumlelwa" ziimeko ezimnyama ezingapheliyo ezishiya ithemba elincinci kwaye zihlala zikhonza kuphela ukoyikisa kunokuba zisibuyisele enguqukweni. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ndiyathemba ukuba uyaqonda ukuba izikhonkwane zikaSathana zisebenzisa ulwimi olufanayo "lwesiprofetho" kunye nelizwi eliqinisekileyo loMoya, kodwa elikhokelela kwizisombululo "zomchasi kristu". Ndinokuninzi kakhulu, ndithetha ngakumbi ngale nto kwixa elizayo.
Okwangoku, eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuphila iVangeli kaYesu. Ukuba u qalisa kwakhona kwaye uzithobe, ufune ukuxolelwa nguThixo kunye nabo ubonileyo. Ukuba ungena kwi-adventure enkulu, ongumthandazo, kwaye wenze ngokulula uxanduva lomzuzu ngokunyaniseka kunye nokunikezela. Yibani nemihlali, naphezu kwayo yonke into, ewe, vuyani rhoqo!
Kwaye funa ukuba, njengoMama wethu, abe nomoya wokwenene wentlupheko. Kwinqanaba apho uthulule khona "ubuqu", liqondo oya kuthi uzaliswe ngalo IPentekoste ezayo.
Musani ukumilisa okweli hlabathi kodwa tshintshani ngokuhlaziywa kwengqondo yenu. (Roma 12: 2)
Amagama amabini: ukuhluthwa ngokuzithandela. Amagama amabini aqhubeka nokukhula entliziyweni yam njengengqolowa emasimini…
BUNZIMA NJANI!
Oku kunokuba nzima kakhulu ukubhala kubantu abaninzi. Kuba kwimpucuko yaseNtshona, bambalwa abayiqondayo indlela esiwe ngayo kude nomoya wenene weVangeli, umoya wabalandeli bokwenene bakaKrestu. UPaul VI usixelela ukuba yintoni leyo:
Le nkulungwane inxanelwe ukunyaniseka… Ihlabathi lilindele kuthi ubomi obulula, umoya wokuthandaza, ukuthobela, ukuthobeka, ukuzincama nokuzincama. -UPAPA PAUL VI, Ukuhambisa ivangeli kwiLizwe lale mihla, 22, 76
'Lula ubomi ... isixhobo kunye nokuzincama.' Ungazishwankathela ezi mpawu ziphilayo 'njengomoya wobuhlwempu.'
AmaKristu abizelwe ukuba abe yimithombo ephilayo apho umhlaba unokusela kuyo ngobomi bukaYesu Krestu. Kodwa xa sigcwalisa iqula ngazo zonke iintlobo zezinto zokuncamathela kwaye sizingqonge ngentuthuzelo egqithisileyo nangobunewunewu, kusibekele ubungqina bethu. Singathetha kwaye silandele imiyalelo kaKristu, sitsala imiphefumlo emaphethelweni eentliziyo zethu. Kodwa xa bejonga ebomini bethu kwaye babona ubungqingili bokubawa, ukuzanelisa, kunye nokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo zihamba ezintliziyweni zethu kwaye zikhula kwiindonga zayo, emva koko abakwazi "ukungcamla nokubona ukulunga kweNkosi."
Oo, zihlobo zam! Ndikubhalela ngomnwe omkhulu ukhombe kum! Ndisabele kakubi kangakanani kwimeko kaKristu yokuba ngumlandeli wakhe:
Ukuba kukho umntu oza kundilandela, makazikhanyele Thabatha umnqamlezo wakhe undilandele… wonke umntu ongalahli zonke izinto zakhe akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (Mat 16:24; 14:33)
Yala uphinde ulahle ntoni kwakhona?
… Konke okusehlabathini, inkanuko yenyama, nenkanuko yamehlo, neqhayiya lobomi… (Jn 2:26)
Usizi
Xa sisiva la magama, impendulo yethu yenye buhlungu. Ngokukhawuleza siqala ukucinga ngobobutyebi basemhlabeni esibuxabise kakhulu okanye sibunqwenelayo, okanye ezo zinto zibi kunye nemikhwa esiyigade ngokulula. Siqala ukuphikisana, njengendoda esisityebi eyaya kuYesu, ukuba singamaKristu alungileyo:
Yonke le miyalelo ndiyigcinile ukususela ebutsheni bam. (ULuka 18:21)
Waphendula ke uYesu wathi,
Inye into osilela ngayo. Thengisa yonke into onayo, wabele amahlwempu, woba nobutyebi ke emazulwini; uze undilandele. Ezivile ke ezo ndawo, waba buhlungu; kuba ube esisityebi kunene. (v. 22-23)
U-Yesu emva koko uyasimangalisa esithi ukuba umntu onje angene eBukumkanini bukaThixo kuya kuba nzima kakhulu.
UZakeyu naye wayesisityebi. Ke xa athe wagqiba kwelokuba anike amahlwempu impahla yakhe nabo waqhatha nabo, wathi uYesu,
Namhlanje usindiso lufikile kule ndlu. (ULuka 19: 9)
Indoda enye ibiphila imiyalelo, kodwa ibuthanda ubutyebi bayo. Omnye waphula imiyalelo, kodwa wabalahla ubutyebi bakhe. Usindiso lweza kulowo wazaphula izithixo entliziyweni yakhe, Kwaye emva koko saqala ukuphila imiyalelo, kanjalo nangenyaniso.
Kodwa yeha, nina zityebi, ngokuba niyifincile intuthuzelo yenu… khumbula ukuba ebomini bakho wazifumana izinto zakho ezilungileyo, noLazaro ngokukwanjalo izinto ezimbi; kodwa ngoku uyathuthuzelwa apha [eZulwini], wena ke uyathuthunjelwa. (Luka 6:24; 16:25)
Akukho mntu unako ukukhonza nkosi mbini. Aninako ukukhonza uThixo nobutyebi. (Mat. 6:24)
USIKELELWE
Ukuba uKristu uyiNtloko yethu, ngaba umzimba awufanelanga ulandele? Ngaba iNtloko kufuneka ithweswe ngentlupheko, ngelixa uMzimba uhonjiswe kubutyebi? Nangona kunjalo, oku ukubiza umoya ohlaziyiweyo wobuhlwempu akufuneki kusenze lusizi, kodwa kusenze sikhangele intsingiselo yamagama:
Nisikelelekile nina mahlwempu. (ULuka 6:20)
IVangeli likaMateyu lithi,
Banoyolo abangamahlwempu ngomoya; (Mat. 5:23)
Ukuba simamele umxholo wamazwi kaKristu kuzo zonke iZibhalo, kucacile ukuba ababhali beVangeli abasibonisi ngeendlela ezimbini, kodwa baneembono ezimbini zeNtaba enye yeentsikelelo. Oko kukuthi, indlela yokuphila yokulula kunye nokuqina iboleka umoya wobuhlwempu, kwaye umoya wentlupheko kufuneka ubonakalise kwindlela yokuphila elula. Ngelixa kungenakuphelela, kunzima kakhulu ukungena eBukumkanini, uYesu ulumkisa, kwabo bazizityebi.
UYesu uyafuna, kuba unqwenela ulonwabo lwethu lwenene. Icawe ifuna abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, kwaye abantu abangcwele bodwa banokuhlaziya ubuntu. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha kwiHlabathi liphela wowama-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit.org
UKULULA, HAYI UGQITHISELO
Ewe ndiyakholelwa ukuba uMoya kaYesu usibiza ukuba sincame ngokuzithandela ukulandela izinto, nangona ngokwazo kungalunganga okanye kungalunganga, kukhokelela iintliziyo zethu kunye nothando kude noBukumkani. Oku akuthethi ukuba sibizelwe ukuthengisa yonke into kwaye sihlale eqhugwaneni (ngaphandle kokuba uKristu akunike ubizo lwentlupheko yokwenene, njengoko wanika uMama Teresa waseCalcutta). Ndiyakholelwa ukuba iNkosi isicela ukuba sihlengahlengise izinto zethu, sithengise okanye sinike izinto esingazidingiyo, kwaye siyeke ukulandela ezo zinto zintshontsha iintliziyo zethu kuye kwaye zisenze siphulukane nezinto zethu. wasemazulwini ingqalelo. Inxalenye yoku kugxila, ewe, ayisiyiyo nje yokugcina ulusu lwam, kodwa kukugcina kunye iimpahla ulusu lomntakwethu. Imeko yentlupheko kuKristu akufuneki ibe sisiphelo ngokwayo. Endaweni yoko, kufuneka ihlale isikhokelela kuthando olukhulu ngoThixo nothando lommelwane wethu, ngakumbi kumahlwempu.
Ukuphila ubomi obulula akuthethi ukuhlala kukungcola okanye ukungathembeki. "Ubabalo luyakha kwindalo," kwaye ngenxa yoko okusingqongileyo kufanele ukuba kulungiswe kakuhle kwaye kugcinwe ngaphandle komnqweno ogqithisileyo wokugqibelela okanye "okona kulungileyo."
UKULUNGISELELA
Ndinqwenela ukuphinda kwakhona amagama aqhubekeka nokuvakala entliziyweni yam, “Phuma eBhabheli!”Kuba iBhabheli, ilizwe elikhohlakeleyo lenyama, liya Ukuwa. Iindonga zayo ziya kuwa kwizityebi, oko kukuthi, ezo ntliziyo apho kanye iindonga zeBhabheli zakhiwe khona. Kodwa kwabo bazinikezele ngokuzithandela kwabo ukuhendwa kweli hlabathi, ukuwa kwempucuko yaseNtshona [4]cf. Ngomhla kaEva ayizukuba lutshintsho olukhulu, ubuncinci bentliziyo.
Okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ingxolo yehlabathi ayizukukhuphisana nelizwi likaYesu. Kuba uThixo uyathetha kwaye uyabakhokela abantu bakhe… kodwa kukuhlebeza… "ilizwi elincinci", ukukhuthazwa komoya oyingcwele. Kuphela qaphela Ndiza kuva ngoku. Kwaye sinokuthi siqwalasele kuphela ukuba asiphazanyiswa, okanye mandithi, singazivumeli ukuba siphazanyiswe.
Ebutyebini bakhe, umntu uswele ubulumko: Ufana neenkomo ezi zonakaliswayo. (INdumiso 49:20)
Ukuba siyoyika ukuzihlutha izinto zethu zehlabathi, ngoko asifanelekanga ukuzikhusela ngokuqinileyo ukholo. —St. UPeter Damian, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyureUmqulu II, iphe. Ngo-1777
