Kutheni uMariya…?

UMadonna weRoses (1903) ngu-William-Adolphe Bouguereau

 

Ukubukela ikhampasi yokuziphatha yaseCanada iphulukana nenaliti, indawo yoluntu yaseMelika iphulukana noxolo, kwaye amanye amazwe ehlabathi aphulukana nolungelelwaniso njengoko umoya weSiphepho uqhubeka nokukhawuleza… ingcinga yokuqala entliziyweni yam ngale ntsasa njenge isitshixo ukufikelela kula maxesha nguiRosari. ” Kodwa oko akuthethi nto kumntu ongenayo eyiyo, ukuqonda kweBhayibhile 'komfazi owambethe ilanga'. Emva kokuba uyifundile le nto, mna nenkosikazi yam sifuna ukunika isipho kubo bonke abafundi bethu…

 

PHI Umhlaba uhexa phantsi kweenguqu ezimangalisayo kwimozulu yemozulu yawo, uzinzo kwezoqoqosho, kunye nokukhula okuguqukayo, ukuhendeka kwabanye kuya kuba kukudimazeka. Ukuziva ngathi umhlaba uphume kulawulo. Ngandlel 'ithile kunjalo, kodwa kuphela kwinqanaba uThixo avumele ngalo, ukuya kwinqanaba, rhoqo, lokuvuna kanye oko sikuhlwayeleyo. UThixo unecebo. Nanjengoko uJohn Paul II watshoyo xa esithi "sijongane nengxabano yokugqibela phakathi kweCawe kunye nabachasene neCawe." Wongeze wathi:

Olu ngquzulwano luphakathi kwezicwangciso zobonelelo lukaThixo -Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), kwi-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA; Nge-13 ka-Agasti ka-1976 ^[1]“Sijongene nengxabano yokugqibela phakathi kweCawa kunye ne-anti-Church, yeVangeli ngokuchasene neVangeli. Olu ngquzulwano luphakathi kwezicwangciso zikaThixo; luvavanyo ekufuneka iCawe iphela, kunye nePoland, ngakumbi. Eli asilolizwe lethu neCawa kuphela, kodwa kuvavanywa iminyaka engama-2,000 13 yenkcubeko nempucuko yobuKristu, nayo yonke imiphumo yesidima somntu, amalungelo abantu, amalungelo oluntu kunye namalungelo ezizwe. ” -Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), kwi-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA; Nge-1976 ka-Agasti ka-XNUMX

Xa waba nguPapa, wakhomba kwi indlela Ngeli xesha iCawe yayiza koyisa "ngokuchasene neCawe":

Kule nqanaba lehlabathi, ukuba uloyiso luza kuza noMariya. U-Kristu uza koyisa ngaye kuba ufuna uloyiso lweCawe ngoku nakwixesha elizayo luxhumeke kuyo. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Ukuwela uMda weThemba, iphe. 221

Le ngxelo, kunye nezinto ezininzi endizenzileyo apha, ndithumele abafundi bam abaninzi bamaProtestanti kwi-tailpin, ndingasathethi ke ngamanye amaKatolika akhulele kwiimpembelelo zeVangeli okanye ngaphandle komyalelo ofanelekileyo. Nam ndakhuliswa phakathi kwamaPentekoste amaninzi kunye "nokuvuselela amandla." Nangona kunjalo, abazali bam babambelela nkqi kwiimfundiso zokholo lwethu. Ngobabalo lukaThixo, ndibenethamsanqa lokufumana amandla aphilayo obudlelwane bobuqu noYesu, amandla eLizwi likaThixo, ububele bukaMoya oyiNgcwele, kwangaxeshanye, iziseko eziqinisekileyo nezingaguqukiyo zokholo kunye nokuziphatha njengoko kudlulisiwe ngokusebenzisa iSiko eliPhila leCawa (yabona Ubungqina bobuqu).

Ndikhe ndafumana amava okuba ngumama — uMama kaThixo — njengam, kwaye indlela oku kundisondeze ngayo kuYesu ngokukhawuleza nangempumelelo kunalo naluphi na olunye unqulo endilwaziyo ngaphandle kweeSakramente.

Kodwa leyo ayiyiyo indlela amanye amaKatolika ayibona ngayo. Isuka kumfundi:

Ndiyabona eCaweni ukuba into endiyikholelwayo kukugxininisa kakhulu kuMariya inciphise ubukhulu bukaKristu kuba, ngokunyanisekileyo, abantu abayifundi iBhayibhile kwaye bafunde ukumazi uKrestu kwaye bamenze ukuba aziwe- benza ukuzinikela kukaMariya kwaye babeke ngaphezulu ukuthembela kwimbonakalo okanye "ukutyelela" kwigumbi labo kuMama osikelelweyo kunalowo uchazwa njengo "kuzaliseka kobuThixo ngokomzimba womzimba" "ukukhanya kweentlanga" "umfanekiso ocacileyo kaThixo" "indlela yeNdlela Inyaniso noBomi ”njl. Ndiyazi ukuba ayiyonjongo leyo- kodwa kunzima ukukhanyela iziphumo.

Ukuba uYesu wayechaza nakubani na-yayikuYise. Ukuba uye wabuyela kwelinye igunya yayiziZibhalo. Ukuguqula abanye baye kuYESU yayiyindima kaYohane uMbhaptizi kunye neyabo bonke iimboni nabaprofeti emhlabeni. Wathi uYohane uMbhaptizi, Makandiswe, ndinciphe mna. Ukuba uMariya ebelapha namhlanje ebeya kuxelela amanye amakholwa kuKristu ukuba afunde iLizwi likaThixo kulwalathiso kunye nolwazi ngoKristu- hayi kuye. Kuvakala ngathi iCawa yamaKatolika ithi, "Jongisa amehlo akho kuMariya." Kwizihlandlo ezibini uYesu kwafuneka akhumbuze abalandeli bakhe ukuba abo “balivayo ilizwi likaThixo baligcina” bakwindlela elungileyo.

Ufanelwe yintlonelo nentlonipho yethu, kunjalo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, andiyiboni indima yakhe njengomfundisi-ntsapho okanye isikhokelo ngaphandle komzekelo wakhe… “Thixo, Msindisi wam” yindlela athe wabhekisa ngayo kuThixo ukuphendula intsikelelo yakhe enkulu njengokuba wayekhonza. Ndihlala ndizibuza ukuba kutheni umfazi ongenasono angabiza uThixo ngokuba nguMsindisi wakhe. Ngokukodwa xa ucinga ukuba igama elityhiliweyo lomntwana wakhe yayinguYesu— (uya kumbiza ngokuba nguYesu, kuba uya kubasindisa abantu baKhe EZONWENI ZABO.)

Ukuyishwankathela namhlanje, ndiza kwabelana ngesiganeko esikwisikolo samaKatolika. Utitshala ubuze ukuba ukhona na umntu emhlabeni ongazange one kwaye ukuba ukho umntu, ngubani? Impendulo eqinisekileyo yathi “Mariya!” Ndididekile, unyana wam waphakamisa isandla wamjonga wathi, “Uthini ngoYesu?” Utitshala waphendula wathi, “Owu, ndiyaqonda ukuba noYesu wayengenasono.”

Okokuqala, mandithi ndiyavumelana nomfundi wam, ukuba uMary uza kuxelela amanye amakholwa ukuba aphethukele kwiLizwi likaThixo. Esi sesinye sezona zicelo zakhe ziphambili, kunye nokufunda ukuthandaza ngokusuka entliziyweni kubudlelwane bobuhlobo noThixo-into ayithandazile ngokuqhubekayo kwindawo eyaziwayo edumileyo ngoku iphantsi kophando lweCawa. ^[2]cf. KwiMedjugorje Kodwa uMariya wayeza kuthi, ngaphandle kokuthandabuza, ajike Ba postile ababekwa ityala ukufundisa IZibhalo ^[3]ukubona Ingxaki esisiseko , kwaye ngaloo ndlela ubanika ukutolikwa okufanelekileyo. Uya kusikhumbuza ukuba uYesu wathi kubo:

Lowo umamelayo nina uyamamela. (ULuka 10:16)

Ngaphandle kwelizwi elinegunya laBapostile kunye nabalandela babo, ukufundwa kweBhayibhile okuzenzekelayo kuya kwenzeka, kwaye iBandla likaKristu, kunokuba likhonzwe, liza kwahlukana. Makhe ndiphendule ezinye izinto ezixhalabisayo umfundi wam, kuba iNtombi Enyulu inendima ebalulekileyo ekufuneka iyidlalile kumaxesha azayo akhula exinzelelo losuku…

 

UKUBA INGQULA KAKRESTU!

Mhlawumbi inkcaso enkulu yamaKatolika kunye nabangengawo amaKatolika ngokufanayo malunga noMariya kukuba kugxile kakhulu kuye! Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, imifanekiso yamawaka abantu bakwiiPhilippines bephethe imifanekiso eqingqiweyo UMary ezitratweni… okanye izihlwele ezihla kwiindawo ezingcwele zaseMarian… okanye amanenekazi ajonge ngobunono abonisa ubhontsi phambi kweMisa… iphakathi kwemifanekiso emininzi edlula engqondweni yomntu ithandabuzayo. Kwaye kwezinye iimeko, kunokubakho inyani koku, yokuba abanye bagxininise uMariya ngaphandle kukaNyana wakhe. Ndikhumbula ndinikela intetho ngokubuyela eNkosini, ngokuthembela kwinceba yayo enkulu, xa umfazi weza emva koko wandikhalimela ngokungathethi nto ngoMariya. Ndizamile ukuba nomfanekiso kaMama oBusisiweyo emi apho ekhalaza kuba ndithethile ngoMsindisi kunaye — kwaye andikwazi. Uxolo, oko hayi uMariya. Konke malunga nokwenza uNyana wakhe aziwe, hayi yena. Ngamazwi akhe:

Umphefumlo wam uxela ubukhulu beNkosi… (Luka 1:46)

Hayi ubukhulu bayo! Kude nokuba ubusela iindudumo zikaKristu, ungumbane okhanyisela iNdlela.

 

Ukwabelana ngamagunya kunye negunya

Inyani yile, u Yesu ubekek 'ityala ngokubonakala ebunciphisa ubuqaqawuli baKhe. Umfundi wam ukhathazekile kuba iCawa yamaKatolika ifundisa ukuba uMariya unendima ebalulekileyo ekutyumzeni intloko yenyoka. "NguYesu oyisa ububi, hayi uMariya!" kuza uqhanqalazo. Kodwa ayisiyiyo le nto ithi iSibhalo:

Yabona, ndikunikile nina amandla 'okunyathela phezu kweenyoka' noonomadudwane nasemandleni otshaba ngokupheleleyo kwaye akukho nto inokukwenzakalisa. (Luka 10:19)

Kwenye indawo:

Uloyiso oloyisa umhlaba lukholo lwethu. (1 Yohane 5: 4)

Oku kuthetha ukuba uYesu woyisa ngokusebenzisa amakholwa. Kwaye yayingenguye uMariya Ekuqaleni ikholwa? Inkqubo ye- Ekuqaleni UmKristu? Inkqubo ye- Ekuqaleni Umfundi weNkosi yethu? Ewe, wayengowokuqala ukumthwala amzise emhlabeni. Ngaba akufuneki naye, ke, abe nenxaxheba kumandla nakwigunya lamakholwa? Kunjalo. Kwaye ngokulandelelana kobabalo, uya kuba ngu Ekuqaleni. Ngapha koko, kuye kwaye akukho mntu wumbi ngaphambili okanye emva koko kwathiwa,

Isichotho, uzele lubabalo! INkosi inawe (Luka 1:28)

Ngubani na ongachasayo xa uYehova anaye? ^[4]AmaRoma 8:31 Ukuba kunjalo uzele lubabalo, kwaye ulilungu loMzimba kaKrestu, ngaba akananxaxheba ibalaseleyo kumandla nakwigunya likaYesu?

Kuba kuhleli kuye konke ukuzaliseka kobuThixo ngokwasemzimbeni; nina ke nabelana naye ngoku kupheleleyo, yena uyintloko yabo bonke ubulawuli negunya. (KwabaseKolose 2: 9-10)

Siyazi ukuba uMariya unendawo ebonakalayo, hayi nje kwezakwalizwi, kodwa kumava amakhulu eCawa ukutyhubela iinkulungwane. UPopu John Paul wakhankanya oku kwenye yeeleta zakhe zokugqibela zabapostile:

Icawe ibisoloko ichaza ukusebenza kwalo mthandazo, ukuphathisa iRosari… ezona ngxaki zinzima. Ngamaxesha apho ubuKrestu ngokwabo babubonakala busemngciphekweni, ukuhlangulwa kwabo kwakubangelwe ngamandla alo mthandazo, kwaye uMama wethu weRosari wabhengezwa njengalowo ukuthethelelwa kwakhe kuzisa usindiso. —UPopu John Paul II, IRosarium Virginis Mariae, engama-40

Ndiza kuthetha ngomzuzwana ukuba kutheni, emva kokuNyuselwa ezulwini, usenendima ayidlalayo kwimbali yoluntu. Kodwa siwahoya njani amazwi kaBawo oyiNgcwele? UmKristu angayichasa njani le ngxelo ngaphandle kokujonga izibakala ezibhalwe kakuhle kunye nesiseko sebango elinjalo? Kwaye ke amaKristu amaninzi enza ngenxa yokuba bazive esithi ezo zinto “zilusingela phantsi ulawulo lukaKristu.” Kodwa ke sithini malunga nabangcwele abakhulu bexesha elidlulileyo abakhupha iidemon, benza imimangaliso, kwaye baseka amabandla kwiintlanga zobuhedeni? Ngaba sithi babunciphisa ubukhulu bukaKristu? Hayi, enyanisweni, ukongama nokomelela onke kukaKristu kuye kwanjalo ngakumbi uzuko ngokuchanekileyo kuba usebenze ngamandla ngezidalwa ezingabantu. NoMariya ngomnye wabo.

Umphathi oyintloko we-exorcist wase-Roma, uFr. UGabriele Amorth, ubalisa ngento eyatyhilwa yidemon phantsi kokuthobela.

Ngenye imini umntu endisebenza naye weva umtyholi esithi ngexesha lokukhupha iidemon: “Yibani nesichotho uMariya unjengokubethwa entlokweni yam. Ukuba amaKristu ebesazi ukuba iRosari inamandla kangakanani, bekuya kuba sisiphelo sam. ” Imfihlelo eyenza lo mthandazo uphumelele kukuba iRosari kukuthandaza nokucamngca. Kubhekiswe kuYise, kwiNtombi Enyulu, nakuBathathu Emnye Ongcwele, kwaye kukucamngca okujolise kuKristu. -Echo kaMariya, uKumkanikazi woXolo, Uhlelo luka-Matshi-Epreli, 2003

Ngokuchanekileyo ngoba UMariya ebesoloko esiba sisixhobo esinamandla sikaThixo eBandleni. Her ifiat, u-ewe wakhe kuThixo usoloko "egxile kuKristu." Njengoko watsho ngokwakhe,

Yenza nantoni na akuxelela yona. (UYohane 2: 5)

Kwaye yile njongo yeRosari: ukucamngca, kunye noMariya, ngobomi boNyana wakhe:

IRosari, nangona icacile ukuba nguMarian, ngentliziyo ngumthandazo weChristocentric… Iziko lomxhuzulane Duma uMariya, ihenjisi ngokungathi kunjalo idibanisa iinxalenye zayo ezimbini, kunjalo igama likaYesu. Ngamanye amaxesha, xa ucengceleza ngokungxama, eli ziko lomxhuzulane linokungahoywa, kwaye kunye nokunxibelelana nemfihlakalo kaKrestu ekucingwa ngayo. Nangona kunjalo kukugxininiswa okunikwe kwigama likaYesu nakwimfihlelo yakhe engumqondiso wophindaphindo olunentsingiselo noluneziqhamo lweRosari. —YOHANE PAUL II, URosarium Virginis Mariae, n. I-1, 33

 

Ulungelelwaniso

Amanye amaKristu "akholelwa kwibhayibhile" ayayichasa ingcamango yokuba abangcwele banento yokwenza nezinto ezenziwa ngabantu bakube besezulwini. Okumangalisayo kukuba, akukho sizathu senkcaso. Bakholelwa kwakhona ukuba ukubonakala kukaMariya emhlabeni ziinkohliso zeedemon (kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ezinye zazo ziyingelosi ewileyo ebonakala “njengokukhanya” okanye umbono nje wabo babizwa ngokuba ziimboni).

Kodwa siyabona esiBhalweni ukuba, nasemva kokufa, imiphefumlo baye wabonakala emhlabeni. UMateyu ukhumbula okwenzekayo ekufeni nasekuvukeni kukaYesu:

Umhlaba wanyikima, amatye acandeka, amangcwaba avuleka, nemizimba yabangcwele abaninzi abawileyo yavuka. Baphuma emangcwabeni abo emveni kokuvuka kwakhe, bangena kuwo umzi ongcwele, babonakala kuninzi. (Mat 27: 51-53)

Akunakulindeleka ukuba "bavele". Kusenokwenzeka ukuba aba bangcwele babhengeza uvuko lukaYesu, besongeza ekuthembekeni kobungqina boMpostile. Nangona kunjalo, siyayibona indlela abangcwele ababonakale ngayo emhlabeni Ncokola nkqu nakwimpilo yeNkosi yomhlaba.

Nanko kubonakala kubo uMoses noEliya, bencokola naye. (Mat 17: 3)

Ngexesha lokufa kukaMoses, iBhayibhile isixelela ukuba uEliya noEnoki abafanga. UEliya wasiwa enqwelweni yomlilo ngelixa uEnoki…

… Waguqulelwa kwiparadesi, ukuze azinike inguquko iintlanga. (Ubushumayeli 44:16)

Isibhalo kunye neNkcubeko bayangqina ukuba baya kubuyela emhlabeni ngasekupheleni kwexesha njengamangqina amabini eSityhilelo 11: 3 ^[5]ukubona Uvavanyo lweMinyaka esixhenxe-Icandelo VII:

Amangqina amabini ke ngoko aya kushumayela iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha. Umchasi-kristu uya kwenza imfazwe nabangcwele phakathi evekini, kwaye aliphanzise ihlabathi ... -Hippolytus, Bawo weCawa, Umsebenzi oNinzi kunye neziqwenga zeHippolytus, n. 39

Ewe, iNkosi yethu uqobo yavela ngokukhanya okuqaqambileyo kuSawule (uPaul Paul), ezisa ukuguquka kwakhe. Ke ngoko kukho umzekelo weBhayibhile obonisa ukuba abangcwele bahlala "banyama-nye" neCawa. Kungenxa yokuba siyafa, asihlukaniswanga noMzimba kaKristu, kodwa singena ngokupheleleyo ekuzalisekeni kwalowo uyintloko yazo zonke izilawuli namandla. Abangcwele enyanisweni ku futshane kuthi kunangexesha lokuhamba kwabo emhlabeni kuba ngoku bakumanyano olupheleleyo noThixo. Ukuba unoYesu entliziyweni yakho, akunjalo, ngobomi boMoya oyiNgcwele, awunabudlelane obunzulu ngakumbi nabo abunye nabo?

… Singqongwe lilifu elikhulu kangaka lamangqina… (Heb 12: 1)

Kwibinzana elithi "Unoyolo lowo wakholwayo," ke ngoko sinokufumana uhlobo "lwesitshixo" esisityhilela oyena mbono wangaphakathi kaMariya, owathi ingelosi yamzukisa "izele lubabalo." Ukuba "ezele lubabalo" ebekho ngonaphakade kwimfihlelo kaKristu, ngokholo waba nesabelo kuloo mfihlelo kuko konke ukolula uhambo lwakhe lwasemhlabeni. Uhambele phambili kuhambo lwakhe lokholo, kwangaxeshanye, ngendlela eqondakalayo kodwa ethe ngqo nesebenzayo, wazisa eluntwini ngemfihlelo kaKrestu. Kwaye usaqhubeka nokwenza njalo. Ngemfihlelo kaKrestu, naye ukho phakathi koluntu. Ngaloo ndlela ngemfihlakalo yoNyana imfihlelo kaMama ikwacacisiwe. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Redemptoris Mater, n. I-2

Ke, kutheni uMariya ebonakala emhlabeni njengoko ebevela kwiinkulungwane? Impendulo enye kukuba iZibhalo Sixelele ukuba iBandla lamaxesha okugqibela liyakwenza oko ukubona lo "mfazi wembethe ilanga," onguMariya, uphawu kunye nomqondiso weCawa. Indima yakhe, enyanisweni, ngumfanekiso wesipili weCawe, kunye nesinye isitshixo sokuqonda indima yakhe eyodwa kunye neyona iphambili kwizicwangciso zolungiselelo lukaThixo.

Kwabonakala umqondiso omkhulu esibhakabhakeni, umfazi ambethe ilanga, inyanga ingaphantsi kweenyawo zakhe, entloko kuye isisithsaba seenkwenkwezi ezilishumi elinambini. (ISityhi. 12: 1)

 

UYAWUJONGA KAKHULU?

Kwaye okwangoku, umfundi wam uziva enikwe ingqalelo kakhulu kulo mfazi. Ewe, mamela uSt. Paul:

Yibani ngabaxelisa mna, njengokuba nam ndixelisa uKristu. (1 Kor. 11: 1)

Utsho oku amatyeli aliqela. Kutheni ungatsho nje ukuthi, “Xelisa uKristu”? Kutheni utsalela ingqalelo kuye? Ngaba uPawulos weba iindudumo zikaKristu? Hayi, uPawulos wayefundisa, ekhokela, kwaye ekhokela, enika umzekelo, indlela entsha ekufuneka ilandelwe. Ngubani owalandela uYesu ngokugqibeleleyo kunoMariya? Xa wonke umntu ebaleka, uMariya wema phantsi koMnqamlezo emva kokumlandela nokumkhonza iminyaka engama-33. Kwaye ke ngoko uYesu waguqukela kuYohane kwaye wamxelela ukuba wayeza kuba nguMama wakhe, kwaye yena ngunyana wakhe. Lo yayingumzekelo uYesu awayefuna ukuba iCawe iwulandele-intobeko epheleleyo kunye nokuthobela, ngomoya wokululama, ukuthobeka, nokholo olufana nolomntwana. YayinguYesu owathi ngandlela thile, "jikela amehlo akho kuMariya" kwesi senzo sokugqibela esiphambanweni. Kuba ngokujika kumzekelo wakhe kunye nokungenelela koomama kunye nongenelelo (njengakumtshato waseKana), uYesu wayesazi ukuba siza kumfumana ngokulula; ukuze akwazi ukutshintsha ngokulula amanzi obuthathaka bethu abe yiwayini yobabalo lwaKhe.

Kwaye kuye wayebonakala ngathi, jikela amehlo akho kwiCawa yam, umzimba wam ngoku osemhlabeni omele ube ngumama, kuba andiyintloko nje, kodwa umzimba opheleleyo. Siyayazi le nto kuba, ukusukela kwinkulungwane yokuqala, amaKristu abephatha uMama kaThixo ngelona xabiso liphakamileyo. Ababhali beVangeli (uMateyu noLuka) kusenokwenzeka ukuba bamfuna ukuba abalise ingxelo yokuzalwa kwentombi enyulu kunye nezinye iinkcukacha zobomi boNyana wakhe. Iindonga zamangcwaba aqulathe imizobo kunye neempawu zoMama Oyisikeleleyo. Icawa yokuqala yayiqonda ukuba lo mfazi wayexabisekile nguThixo, kwaye wayenguMama wabo.

Ngaba oku kususa kuYesu? Hayi, ibalaselisa ubuninzi beemfaneleko zaKhe, ububele baKhe kwizidalwa zaKhe, kunye nendima ebalulekileyo yeCawe kusindiso lwehlabathi. Iyamzukisa, kuba iBandla lonke liphakanyiselwe kwisidima esikhulu ngokubingelela kwakhe:

Kuba singabasebenza noThixo. (1 Kor. 3: 9)

Kwaye uMariya wayesebenza naye "ezele lubabalo." Nditsho neNgelosi uGabriyeli yathi, “Sanibona!” Ke xa sithandaza “Dumisa uMariya, uzele lubabalo… ” Ngaba thina maKatolika sinikela ingqalelo kakhulu kuMariya? Xelela uGabriyeli oko. Kwaye siyaqhubeka…Usikelelwe wena phakathi kwabafazi… ” Kuyathakazelisa ukuba mangaphi amaKristu namhlanje anomdla kwisiprofetho-kodwa ayisiyiyo leyo. Kuba uLuka ubalisa ngento eyathethwa nguMariya kwiMagnificat yakhe:

… Ukusukela ngoku yonke iminyaka iya kuthi ndibusisiwe. (ULuka 1:48)

Yonke imihla, ndizalisekisa isiprofeto xa ndithatha iRosari kwaye ndiqala ukuthandaza noMariya kuYesu, ndisebenzisa wona la mazwi eSibhalo azalisekisa isiprofeto sakhe. Ngaba ucinga ukuba sesinye sezizathu zokuba ibeyintloko kaSathana? Okokuba, ngenxa yale ntombazana ingeyontombi, woyisiwe? Ngenxa yokuthobela kwakhe, ukungathobeli kukaEva kuye kwayekwa? Ngenxa yendima yakhe eqhubekayo kwimbali yosindiso njengoMfazi owambethe ilanga, inzala yakhe iya kutyumza intloko? ^[6]IGenesis 3: 15

Ewe, eso sesinye isiprofetho, sokuba kuyakubakho ubutshaba obuhlala buhleli phakathi komtyholi nomfazi ngexesha lenzala yakhe—ngamaxesha kaKristu.

Ndiya kubeka ubutshaba phakathi kwakho nomfazi, naphakathi kwembewu yakho nembewu yakhe… (Gen 3:15)

Kumtshato waseKana, u Yesu wasebenzisa injongo yakhe esithi "umfazi" ngenjongo yokubhekisa kuMama wakhe xa wayesithi iwayini iphelile:

inkosikazi, indichaphazela njani inkxalabo yakho? Ilixa lam alikafiki. (UYohane 2: 4)

Kwaye emva koko, wamphulaphula kodwa wenza ummangaliso wakhe wokuqala. Ewe, ungumfazi obambeleyo kuNyana wakhe, kanye njengokuba oomama boKumkanikazi kwiTestamente eNdala babenempembelelo enkulu koonyana babo bobukumkani. Wasebenzisa isibizo esithi "umfazi" ngabom, ukumfanisa 'nomfazi "weGenesis neSityhilelo.

Ukuqwalaselwa kakhulu? Hayi kuxa kuqondwa uMariya kuthetha ukuba ujonge uYesu.

 

NGAMANZI AKHE

Umfundi wam ubuza ukuba kutheni umfazi ongenasono efuna “uThixo uMsindisi wam” Impendulo ilula nje kukuba uMariya ngekhe abe engenasono ngaphandle kothando lukaKristu, ukufa, kunye novuko. Yimfundiso esisiseko phakathi phantse kwenkolo nganye yobuKrestu yokuba oko uKristu wakufezayo emnqamlezweni sisenzo sikanaphakade esiqhubeka kuyo yonke imbali nakwikamva. Yiyo loo nto u-Abraham, uMoses, noNowa bonke baseZulwini nangona uloyiso lweCalvary lwalungamakhulu eminyaka kamva. Kanye njengokuba ukufaneleka koMnqamlezo kwasetyenziswa kubo abo babemiselwe kwangaphambili nguThixo kwiindima zabo ezithile kwimbali yosindiso, ngokunjalo nabo basebenza kuMariya ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu ngendima yakhe ethile. Kwaye indima yakhe yayikukuvumela uThixo ukuba athathe inyama emzimbeni wakhe nasegazini lakhe. UKristu wayenokuhlala njani kwisitya esinebala lesono santlandlolo? Angaba yiyo njani iMvana kaThixo engenabala engenasiphako ngaphandle kokuKhulelwa kukaMariya okungagungqiyo? Yiyo loo nto, kwasekuqalekeni wazalwa “ezele lubabalo,” lungasekelwanga kubuntu bakhe, kodwa kubuNyana bakhe.

… Wayeyindawo efanelekileyo yokuhlala kaKristu, hayi ngenxa yemeko yomzimba wakhe, kodwa ngenxa yesisa sakhe santlandlolo. —POPE PIUX IX Ineffabilis Deus, Umgaqo-siseko WabaPostile uchaza ngokucacileyo imfundiso ye-Immaculate Conception, ngoDisemba 8, 1854

Wasindiswa nguYe, kodwa ngendlela enamandla necacileyo kuba wayeza kuba nguMama kaThixo, kanye njengokuba u-Abraham wasindiswa ngendlela enamandla necacileyo ngaye ukholo xa umfazi wakhe owalupheleyo wamitha, emenza "utata wazo zonke iintlanga". USoo, uMariya ngoku "ngunkosikazi wazo zonke iintlanga"  ^[7]isihloko esivunyiweyo soMama wethu ngo-2002: yabona eli khonkco.

 

IZIHLOKO

Isihloko sakhe esibalaseleyo nguMama kaThixo. Kwaye oku yile nto umzala wakhe uElizabhete ambiza ngayo:

Usikelelwe wena phakathi kwabafazi; sinentsikelelo nesiqhamo sesizalo sakho. Kwaye kwenzeka njani kum, ukuba Umama weNkosi yam kufuneka uze kum? (ULuka 1: 42-43)

Ungumama weNkosi yam, onguThixo. Kwaye kwakhona, phantsi koMnqamlezo, wanikwa ukuba abe nguMama wabo bonke. Oku kubuyela kwiGenesis xa uAdam wathiya umfazi wakhe:

UAdam walibiza igama lomkakhe ngokuthi nguEva, ngokuba yena engunina wabaphilileyo bonke. (Gen. 3:20)

UPaul Paul ufundisa ukuba uKristu ngu uAdam omtsha. ^[8]1 Kor. 15:22, 45 Kwaye lo Adam mtsha uxela emnqamlezweni ukuba uMariya uza kuba nguMama omtsha wabo bonke abaphilayo ekuzalweni ngokutsha kokomoya kwendalo.

Nanku unyoko. (UYohane 19:27)

Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ukuba uMariya wazala uYesu, intloko yeCawe, akazalanga na umzimba waKhe, iBandla?

Mfazi, nanko unyana wakho. (UYohane 19:26)

Nkqu noMartin Luther wayekuqonda oku:

UMariya nguMama kaYesu noMama wethu sonke nangona yayinguKrestu yedwa owaguqa ngamadolo… Ukuba ngowethu, bekufanele ukuba sikwimeko yakhe; Apho akhoyo, nathi kufanele ukuba sibekhona kwaye konke anako kufanele ukuba kube kokwethu, kwaye umama wakhe ukwangumama wethu. —UMartin Luther, Intshumayelo, IKrismesi, 1529.

Kucacile ke ukuba amaKristu eVangeli, kwenye indawo apha endleleni, alahlekelwe nguMama wawo! Kodwa mhlawumbi iyatshintsha:

… Kudala amaKatolika emhlonela, kodwa ngoku amaProtestanti afumana ezabo izizathu zokubhiyozela umama kaYesu. -Imagazini yexesha, “Bingelela uMariya”Matshi 21, 2005

Kwaye okwangoku, njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, imfihlelo inzulu kunale. Kuba uMariya ufuzisela iBandla. ICawe “ikwangumama” wethu.

Ulwazi lwemfundiso yokwenene yamaKatolika ngokubhekisele kwiNtombi Enyulu kaMariya iya kuhlala iyinto ephambili ekuqondeni ngqo imfihlakalo kaKristu neyeCawa. -UPOPU PAUL VI, Ingxoxo ye-21 kaNovemba 1964: AAS 56 (1964) 1015.

Uninzi lwemibhalo apha kumaxesha okugqibela isekwe koku ngundoqo. Kodwa lelo lelinye ixesha.

 

UKULANDELA UYESU

Enye inkcaso eqhelekileyo kuMariya ethi amaProtestanti akhankanya iindinyana ezithile zeBhayibhile apho uYesu abonakala ebeka uMama wakhe phantsi, oko ke kubonakala ngathi kuphelisa nayiphi na imbono yendima ebalulekileyo kuye. Omnye kwisihlwele wakhwaza esithi:

Sinoyolo isizalo esakuzalayo, namabele awanyisayo! kodwa wathi “Banoyolo abo live ilizwi likaThixo uze ulithobele. ” Wathi ke yena kuye, Nanku unyoko nabazalwana bakho, bemi ngaphandle, befuna ukuthetha nawe. Uphendule ke wathi kulowo ubemxelele, Ngubani na uma? Ngoobani abantakwethu? ”Esolula isandla sakhe ngakubafundi bakhe, wathi, Nanku uma nabazalwana bam; Kuba othe wakwenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini, lowo ngumzalwana wam, nodade wethu, noma. ” (Mat. 11: 27-28)

Ngelixa kubonakala ngathi uYesu uyayinciphisa indima kaMama wakhe (“Enkosi ngesibeleko. Andikudingi ngoku…”), kuchasene kakhulu. Mamela ngononophelo kwinto ayithethileyo, “Uyolo kunoko ngabo balivayo ilizwi likaThixo baligcine. ” Ngubani oyena usikelelekileyo phakathi kwamadoda nabafazi ngokufanayo? ngokuchanekileyo kuba ulivile walithobela ilizwi likaThixo, ilizwi lengelosi?

Ndingumkhonzazana weNkosi. Ngamana kungenzeka kum ngokwelizwi lakho. (ULuka 1:38)

UYesu ugxininisa ukuba intsikelelo kaMariya ayiveli kulwalamano nje lomzimba, kodwa ngaphezulu kwako konke ngokomoya leyo isekelwe ekuthobeleni naselukholweni. Kukwanjalo ke nakumaKatolika namhlanje afumana uMzimba neGazi likaYesu. Ukudibana ngokwasemzimbeni neNkosi yethu sisipho esikhethekileyo, kodwa lukholo nentobelo evula intliziyo ukuba yamkele intsikelelo yesipho soBukho bukaThixo. Ngaphandle koko, intliziyo evaliweyo okanye intliziyo enezithixo iyabutshitshisa ubabalo boqhakamshelwano lomzimba:

… Ukuba kukho omnye umntu entliziyweni enjalo, andinakukuthwala kwaye ndiyishiye ngokukhawuleza loo ntliziyo, ndihamba Nam zonke izipho kunye nobabalo endilungiselele umphefumlo. Kwaye umphefumlo awukuqapheli nokuhamba kwam. Emva kwexesha elithile, ukungabi nto yangaphakathi kunye nokungoneliseki kuya kuza [kumphefumlo] ingqalelo. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamkwidayari, n. 1638

Kodwa uMariya wazigcina ngokupheleleyo kwaye usoloko esebenzela uThixo. Yiyo loo nto xa uYesu esithi, “othe wenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini, lowo ngumzalwana wam, nodade wethu, noma,” oko kukuthi, Akukho namnye phakathi kwenu u onelungelo lokuba nguMama wam kunalo Mfazi.

 

UBUNGQINA OBUNCINANE

Ewe, kuninzi endinokukutsho ngalo Mfazi. Kodwa mandigqibe ngokwabelana ngamava am. Kuzo zonke iimfundiso zenkolo yamaKatolika, uMary wayengoyena unzima kum. Ndizabalazile, njengoko kunjalo nakumfundi wam, kutheni le ntombi inyulu yanikwa ingqwalaselo enkulu kangaka. Ndandisoyika ukuba xa ndithandaza kuye ndophula uMyalelo wokuqala. Kodwa xa ndifunda ubungqina babangcwele abanjengoLouis de Montfort, uMama Teresa osikelelekileyo kunye nabakhonzi bakaThixo abanjengoJohn Paul II noCatherine de Hueck Doherty kunye nendlela uMariya abasondeza ngayo kuYesu, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba benze into abayenzileyo: ndizingcwalisele kuye. Oko kukuthi, kulungile Mama, ndifuna ukukhonza uYesu ngokupheleleyo ngokuba ngowakho ngokupheleleyo.

Kwenzeka into engakholelekiyo. Ndalilambela ngakumbi ilizwi likaThixo; Umnqweno wam wokwabelana ngokholo uya usomelela; nothando lwam ngoYesu lwaqhakaza. Undithathele nzulu nangakumbi kulwalamano lobuqu noNyana wakhe ngokuchanekileyo Kungenxa yokuba unolwalamano olunzulu naye. Kwakhona, okothusayo kukuba, amandla esono ebendilawula iminyaka, imizabalazo ebendibonakala ndingenamandla ayoyisa, yaqala yehla ngokukhawuleza. Kwakungenakuphikiswa ukuba isithende somfazi siyabandakanyeka.

Oku kuthetha ukuba eyona ndlela yokuqonda uMariya kukumazi. Eyona ndlela yokuqonda ukuba kutheni enguMama wakho kukumyekela kumama wakho. Oku, ngaphezulu kwako konke, kuye kwaba namandla kum kunako nakuphi na ukuxolisa endikufundileyo. Ndiyakwazi ukukuxelela oku: ukuba ukuzinikela kuMariya ngandlela thile kwaqala ukundisusa kuYesu, ukuphazamisa uthando lwam kuYe, ngendamlahla ngokukhawuleza kunamazambane obuqhetseba. Ndiyabulela kuThixo, nangona kunjalo, ndingadanduluka kunye nezigidi zamaKristu kunye neNkosi yethu uqobo: "Nanko unyoko." Ewe, usikelelekile, Mama wam othandekayo, usikelelekile wena.
