Xa Imisedare Iwa-Ilizwi Ngoku

Bhombolozani, mithi yemisipres, kuba kuwe imisedare.
baphangiwe abanamandla. Bhombolozani, mioki yaseBhashan,
ngokuba ihlathi elingangenekiyo ligawulwe;
Hark! ukubhomboloza kwabalusi,
uzuko lwabo lonakalisiwe. (Zekariya 11: 2-3)

BAYA bawile, omnye emva komnye, ubhishophu emva kobhishophu, umbingeleli emva kobubingeleli, ubulungiseleli emva kobufundisi (ndingasathethi ke, utata emva kotata nosapho emva kosapho) Kwaye ayisiyiyo nje imithi emincinci-iinkokheli eziphambili kwi-Catholic Faith eziwe njengemisedare emikhulu ehlathini.

Ngokuthi krwaqu nje kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, sibone ukuwohloka okumangalisayo kwabona bantu bade eCaweni namhlanje. Impendulo yamanye amaKatolika ibe kukuxhoma iminqamlezo yawo aze “ayiyeke” iCawa; abanye baye bangena kwi-blogosphere ukuze babhubhise ngamandla abo bawileyo, ngoxa abanye baye babandakanyeka kwiingxoxo ezinekratshi nezishushu kwiindibano ezininzi zonqulo. Kwaye kukho abo bathe cwaka balila okanye behleli nje bezolile njengoko bephulaphule isandi sezi ntlungu zigquba ehlabathini lonke.

Kwiinyanga ngoku, amazwi e-Our Lady of Akita-anikwe ukwamkelwa ngokusesikweni nguPopu wangoku xa wayeseyi-Prefect of the Church for the Doctrine of the Faith-ebeziphindaphinda emva kwengqondo yam:

Umsebenzi womtyholi uya kungena naseCaweni ngendlela yokuba umntu abone amakhadinali aphikisana neekhadinali, oobhishophu nxamnye noobhishophu. Ababingeleli abandihlonelayo baya kugculelwa baphikiswe yimikhosi yabo…. iicawa kunye nezibingelelo ziphangiwe; Icawe iyakugcwala ngabo bamkela ukuyekethisa kwaye idemon iya kucinezela ababingeleli abaninzi kunye nemiphefumlo ezingcwalisiweyo ukuba iyeke inkonzo yeNkosi.

Idemon iya kuba namandla ngokukodwa kwimiphefumlo ezingcwaliselwe kuThixo. Ingcinga yokulahleka kwemiphefumlo emininzi ngunobangela wosizi lwam. Ukuba izono ziyanda ngamanani nomxhuzulane, akusayi kubakho kuxolelwa… ” -Umyalezo onikezwe ngokubonakala ku-Sr. Agnes Sasagawa wase Akita, eJapan, nge-13 ka-Okthobha ka-1973; yamkelwe ngoJuni ka-1988.

Ngandlel 'ithile, umntu unokubuza ukuba asikaqali ukuhlala kumazwi esiprofetho kwi IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika?

Phambi kokuza kwesibini kukaKrestu, iBandla kufuneka lidlule kwityala lokugqibela eliya kushukumisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaninzi… -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-675

Esi sicatshulwa siqhubela phambili sicebisa ukuba olu “lingo lokugqibela”, ekugqibeleni, sisihendo novavanyo oluya kuza ngenkohliso yenkolo…

… Enika amadoda isisombululo kwiingxaki zawo ngexabiso lokuwexuka kwinyaniso. Eyona nkohliso iphambili yenkolo yeyomchasi-Kristu, ubuxoki-mesiya apho umntu azizukisayo endaweni kaThixo nakuMesiya wakhe esenyameni. —Ibhidi.

Ziziphi “iingxaki” kanye? Usikelelwe uJohn Henry Cardinal Newman Kubonakala ngathi bacinga ukuba baya kuba yingxaki kakhulu njengale yethu yangoku:

Ngumgaqo [kaSathana] ukwahlulahlula nokusisahlula, ukusikhupha ngokuthe ngcembe kwiliwa lethu lamandla. Kwaye ukuba kuyakubakho intshutshiso, mhlawumbi iyakubakho ngoko; ke, mhlawumbi, xa sonke kwiindawo zonke zeNgqobhoko sahlulelene kakhulu, kwaye sincitshisiwe, sizele lucalucalulo, sisondele kakhulu kuqhekeko…. Emva koko uBukhosi baseRoma bungaqhekeka, kwaye uMchasi-Kristu abonakale njengomtshutshisi, kwaye izizwe ezinoburharha zijikeleze. -Usikelelwe uJohn Henry Cardinal Newman, iNtshumayelo IV: Ukutshutshiswa komchasi-Kristu

SUKUDIMA ... KODWA ZILungiselele

Andicebisi ukuba kubomi bethu uMchasi-Kristu uza kuvela ngokuqinisekileyo. NguThixo kuphela owaziyo isicwangciso samaxesha. Kodwa ndingatsho ukuba uPopu Pius X mhlawumbi wayeyinto ethile xa wayecebisa kwi-encyclical ukuba uMchasi-Kristu usenokuba sele ekhona emhlabeni. (Ukuba awukabikho, nceda uthathe umzuzwana ufunde ngomthandazo Kutheni le nto ooPopu bengekhwaza?)

INkosi yethu yasiyalela ukuba siphaphe, ukuba “silinde kwaye sithandaze.” Kwaye akukho namnye ngaphandle komnye. Lowo ubukela nje engathandazanga uya kuba sisihendo sokuphelelwa lithemba, njengoko iingxaki kweli xesha siphila kulo ziyingozi. Kwelinye icala, lowo uthandaza kuphela usenokungayithobeli imiqondiso yamaxesha neendlela athetha ngazo uThixo. Ewe, khangela kwaye thandaza.

Kwaye ulungiselele.

Sele ndibhalile malunga nolungiselelo ngombhalo olula obizwa ngokuba Lungiselela! Kwelinye icala, yonke into ebhaliweyo kule webhusayithi kukuchasana kolu lungiselelo lujolise ekuvukeni, kunye nokugcina imiphefumlo ephaphileyo kula maxesha enkqwithela. Inxalenye yolu lungiselelo kukuqonda kungekuphela nje okwenzekayo emhlabeni, kodwa okwenzekayo emphefumlweni wakho. AmaKristu kuzo zonke iindawo azama ngokunyanisekileyo ukukhula ebungcweleni atyhubela ‘isilingo somlilo. Ndiyivile iNkosi isithi kutsha nje inxalenye yolu vavanyo kukuba “ayisanyamezeli” izono ezingento yanto njengoko yenze ngaphambili, ngokungathi kunjalo. Ukuba “umda wesiphoso” uyavala, yaye “ukupha” okwavunyelwa yiNkosi kwixesha elidluleyo akusekho.

Ndijonge kude, ndathula, andathetha nto, ndizibambile; ngoku ndiyakhala njengomfazi onenimba, ndikhefuzela, ndikhefuzela. (Isaya 42:14)

Ukuba izono ziyanda ngenani kunye nomxhuzulane, akusayi kubakho xolelo ngenxa yazo…

Oku akuthethi ukuba Akathandanga kangako -ukuchasene noko! Yi ngothandoNgapha koko, uYesu usixelela ukuba kufuneka sibe ngcwele ngala maxesha. Ekugqibeleni…

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

Asisenakukwazi ukuhamba ikhona indawo yokuba uSathana angene indlela yakhe ebomini bethu. Uyaphazama, kuba uyazi ukuba ixesha lakhe lifutshane. Asikuko ukuba uThixo utshintshile, kodwa uye wavumela uSathana ukuba “asihluze njengengqolowa”. ^[1]cf. ULuka 22:31 kwaye ke, kufuneka…

…Yiba nobungcathu kwaye uphaphe. Umchasi wenu, uMtyholi, uhamba njengengonyama egqumayo, efuna ubani engamginyayo; ( 1 Petros 5:8 )

Izinto ezibizwa ngokuba “zizono ezincinci” ngoku “zingamavula amakhulu”; asinakukwazi ukubuthatha lula ubomi bethu bomoya. Mamela kwakhona umfundisi wezakwalizwi owaziwayo, ongasekhoyo uFr. UJohn Hardon, kwiintetho ezimbalwa ezahlukeneyo awazenzayo:

Abo bacela umngeni kobuhedeni butsha bajongene nokukhetha okunzima. Enoba avumelana nale ntanda-bulumko okanye ajongane nethuba lokufel 'ukholo. —Fr. UJohn Hardon (1914-2000), Unokuba NgumKatolika Othembekileyo Namhlanje? Ngokunyaniseka kwiBhishophu yaseRoma; Umthembasbd.org

Akukho ngaphantsi kwamaKatolika aqhelekileyo anokuphila, ke iintsapho eziqhelekileyo zamaKatolika azinakuphila. Abanakukhetha. Kufuneka babe ngcwele-oko kuthetha ukuba bangcwalisiwe-okanye baya kutshabalala. Iintsapho zamaKatolika kuphela eziza kuhlala ziphila kwaye zichuma kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye ziintsapho zabafeli-nkolo. -Intombi Enyulu Ebusisiweyo kunye nokuNgcwaliswa koSapho, Mkhonzi kaThixo, Fr. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ

Zintanda, musani ukumangaliswa kukulingwa ngomlilo phakathi kwenu, ngokungathi kukho into engaqhelekanga eyenzekayo. Yithini, njengoko ningamadlelane ngeentlungu zikaKristu, nivuye; ukuze, nasekutyhilekeni kobuqaqawuli bakhe, nivuye nigcoba. (1 Pet 4: 12-13)

UKULUNGISELELA UZUKO

Yintoni esimele siyenze emva koko? Impendulo ilula—kodwa kufuneka siyenze! Thandaza yonke imihla. Funda iLizwi likaThixo ukuze abe nokuthetha nawe. Yiya kuVuma ukuze akuphilise. Fumana uMthendeleko ukuze akomeleze. Ungenzi malungiselelo enyama—akukho mathuba okuba utshaba lufumane indawo ebomini bakho. Hlala ukhunjulwe rhoqo, kangangoko unako, oko kukuthi, uhlale ubazi ubukho bukaThixo, kwaye ke, ungenzi nto ngaphandle kwaKhe kwaye uhlala uhleli kunye nakuYe. Okokugqibela, thabatha nzulu Isimemo sikaThixo kwiTyeya yeNtliziyo kaMariya, indawo yokusabela yokwenene namhlanje kwesi siqhwithi sangoku nesizayo (oko kubandakanya, ewe, ukuthandaza umthandazo onamandla weRosari.)

Kwenzeka ntoni namhlanje eCaweni? UBawo uyawathena amasebe akhe afileyo ukuze alungise kwaye ahlambuluke:

Ndobharhisa iintaba neenduli, ndiyitshise yonke imifuno yabo; Imilambo ndiyenze imilambo, nditsho imilambo ndiyomise. Ndozihambisa iimfama endleleni yazo; ndibakhokele ngomendo ongaziwayo. Ndibujika ubumnyama bube kukukhanya phambi kwabo, ndizenze zithi tye iindlela ezigoso. Ezi zinto ndizenza kubo, kwaye andiyi kubashiya. (Isaya 42: 15-16)

Oku kuthetha ukuba kubomi bethu bangaphakathi, onke amasebe angavelisi ziqhamo aya kuthenwa. Kuba uThixo ulungiselela ukungatshabalalisi, kodwa ukucoca nokwakha iBandla lakhe, elifanekiselwa yiZiyon kwiTestamente eNdala:

Uya kuphinda uyenzele inceba iZiyon; ngoku lixesha lokuba nosizi; ixesha elimisiweyo lifikile. Amatye ayo abalulekile kubakhonzi bakho. uthuli lwayo lubashukumisela ekubeni babe nosizi. Iintlanga ziya kuloyika igama lakho, Yehova, Zonke izikumkani zehlabathi;

Ewe, aBaseki beCawe yasekuqaleni kunye noopopu bale mihla ngokufanayo bonke bajonge phambili kwixesha apho iBandla liza kuhlaziywa lihlaziywe, ^[2]cf. Ukuza kolawulo lweCawa kwaye ubuqaqawuli bukaYesu buya kufikelela eziphelweni zomhlaba. Ingayi Isahluko soxolo. Makhe ndivale, emva koko isiprofeto esinikwe eRoma phambi koPopu Paul VI. Kuba ndiyakholelwa ukuba iyashwankathela ngokwenyani oko sihlangabezana nako, kwaye siza kukufumana kumava ezizayo…

Kuba ndiyakuthanda, ndifuna ukukubonisa into endiyenzayo emhlabeni namhlanje. Ndifuna ukukulungiselela into ezayo. Imihla yobumnyama iyeza emhlabeni, imihla yembandezelo ... Izakhiwo ezimiyo ngoku azizukuma. Ixaso ekhoyo eyenzelwe abantu bam ngoku ayiyi kubakho. Ndifuna ukuba nilungiselele, bantu bam, ukuba nazi mna kuphela kwaye nokuncamathela kum nokundibeka ngendlela enzulu kunangaphambili. Ndiza kukukhokelela enkangala ... ndiza kukuhluba yonke into oxhomekeke kuyo ngoku, ke uxhomekeke kum. Liyeza ixesha lobumnyama emhlabeni, kodwa liyeza ixesha lobuqaqawuli ngeCawe yam, ixesha lobuqaqawuli buyeza abantu bam. Ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho zonke izipho zoMoya wam. Ndiza kukulungiselela umlo wokomoya; Ndiza kukulungiselela ixesha lobuvangeli elingazange labonwa lihlabathi…. Kwaye xa ungenanto ngaphandle kwam, uya kuba nayo yonke into: umhlaba, amasimi, amakhaya, kunye nabazalwana noodade kunye nothando kunye novuyo kunye noxolo ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Lunga, bantu bam, ndifuna ukunilungiselela… -Yanikelwa nguRalph Martin, iSt. Peter's Square, kwisiXeko saseVatican, ngoMeyi, ngo-1975
