INGXENYE omzabalazo amaKatolika amaningi anakho isambulo sangasese ngukuthi kunokuqonda okungafanele kokubizwa kwaboni nababonisi. Uma laba "baprofethi" bengavinjelwa ngokuphelele njengokungenzi kahle emasikweni eSonto, bavame ukuba yizinto zomona ngabanye ababona sengathi imboni kumele ikhetheke kakhulu kunabo. Yomibili le mibono ilimaza kakhulu indima ebalulekile yalaba bantu: ukuphatha umlayezo noma umsebenzi ovela eZulwini.
ISIPHAMBANO, HHAYI UMQHELE
Bambalwa abawuqondayo umthwalo othwalwa lapho iNkosi ikhokhisa umphefumulo ukuba uphathe izwi noma umbono oyisiphrofetho uye kubantu ... yingakho ngiyaxwaya lapho ngifunda ukuhlolwa okuvamile okungenaluzwela kwalabo ababesemikhankasweni yabo yokuqeda “abaprofethi bamanga.” Bavame ukukhohlwa ukuthi laba ngabantu ababhekene nabo, futhi okubi kakhulu, imiphefumulo ekhohlisiwe edinga ububele nemithandazo yethu njengokuholwa yiSonto. Ngivame ukuthunyelwa izihloko zezincwadi nezihloko ezichaza ukuthi kungani lokhu noma lokho kubonakala kungamanga. Amaphesenti angama-XNUMX esikhathi abafunda ngaso njengesihlebi sethebhu esithi "washo lokho" nokuthi "wakubona lokhu." Noma ngabe kukhona iqiniso kulo, bavame ukungabi nesithako esibalulekile: Uthando. Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, kwesinye isikhathi ngiyasola kakhulu ngomuntu owenza konke okusemandleni ukudelela omunye umuntu kunami ngalowo okholelwa ngokweqiniso ukuthi unemishini evela eZulwini. Nomaphi lapho kukhona ukwehluleka kwesisa senhliziyo kukhona ukwehluleka ukuqonda. Umgxeki angawathola amanye amaqiniso kahle kodwa alahlekelwe yiqiniso lawo wonke.
Nganoma yisiphi isizathu, iNkosi “ingixhumanise” nezimanga nababoni abaningi eNyakatho Melika. Labo ababonakala beyiqiniso kimi baphansi emhlabeni, bathobekile, futhi akumangazi ukuthi, umkhiqizo wezinto ezidabukile noma ezinzima. UJesu wayevame ukukhetha abampofu, abanjengoMathewu, uMary Magdalene noma uZakewu ukumgcina ehlangene naye, ukuba, njengoPetru, abe yitshe eliphilayo lapho iBandla Lakhe lizokwakhiwa khona. Ebuthakathakeni, amandla kaKristu enziwa aphelele; ebuthakathakeni babo, banamandla (2 Kor 12: 9-10). Le miphefumulo, ebonakala inokuqonda okujulile ngobumpofu babo ngokomoya, yazi tizigqoko zingamathuluzi nje, izitsha zobumba eziqukethe uKristu hhayi ngoba zifanelekile, kodwa ngoba Muhle futhi unesihe. Le miphefumulo iyavuma ukuthi babengeke bafune lolu bizo ngenxa yezingozi olulethayo, kodwa ngokuzithandela nangenjabulo baluthwala ngoba bayayiqonda inhlanhla enkulu yokukhonza uJesu — nokukhomba ukwenqaba nokuhlekwa usulu akutholayo.
… Le miphefumulo ethobekile, kude nokufisa ukuba nguthisha womuntu, ilungele ukuthatha umgwaqo ohlukile kulena ebilandelayo, uma itshelwa kanjalo. —USt. UJohn weSiphambano, Ubusuku Obumnyama, Incwadi Yokuqala, Isahluko 3, n. 7
Iningi lababoni abaliqiniso lingathanda ukucasha phambi kweTabernakele kunokubhekana nezixuku, ngoba ziyazi ukuthi azilutho futhi zifisa ngisho nangokwengeziwe ukuthi ukudunyiswa ezikutholayo kuzonikezwa iNkosi. Umboni wangempela, wake wahlangana noKristu noma uMariya, uvame ukuqala ukubheka izinto zomhlaba zalutho njengeze, “njengodoti” uma kuqhathaniswa nokwazi uJesu. Lokhu kungeza kuphela esiphambanweni ababizelwe ukusithwala, ngoba ukulangazelela kwabo izulu nokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu kuyanda. Babanjwa phakathi kokufuna ukuhlala futhi babe yisibani kubafowabo ngenkathi ngasikhathi sinye befuna ukungena ngaphakathi enhliziyweni kaNkulunkulu.
Futhi konke lokhu, yonke le mizwa, bahlala befihlekile. Kodwa ziningi izinyembezi neziqubu ezesabekayo zokudikibala, ukungabaza, nokoma abahlangabezana nakho njengeNkosi uqobo lwayo, njengomlimi onensimu omuhle, ithena futhi inakekele igatsha ukuze lingazikhukhumezi futhi linciphise namanzi UMoya oNgcwele, ngaleyo ndlela ungatheli zithelo. Benza buthule kepha ngamabomu umsebenzi wabo wobunkulunkulu, noma kwesinye isikhathi bengaqondwa kahle, ngisho nangabavuma izono zabo nabaqondisi bokomoya. Emehlweni omhlaba, bayiziwula… yebo, bayiziwula ngoKristu. Kepha hhayi umbono nje wezwe — imvamisa umboni oyiqiniso kumele adlule esithandweni somlilo egcekeni lakubo. Ukuthula okulandelayo komndeni, ukushiywa ngabangane, kanye nokuzimela (kodwa kwesinye isikhathi kuyadingeka) kweziphathimandla zebandla kudala ugwadule lwesizungu, iNkosi evame ukuzizwela yona, kepha ikakhulukazi egqumeni olusogwadule lwaseCalvari.
Cha, ukubizelwa ukuba ngumbonisi noma umboni akusona umqhele ku lokhu impilo, kodwa isiphambano.
Abanye Bakhohlisiwe
Njengoba ngibhala Ku-Isambulo Esiyimfihlo, iSonto aligcini ngokwamukela kodwa izidingo isambulo sangasese lapho sikhanyisela abathembekile ujika oluzayo eMgwaqweni, empambanweni eyingozi, noma ekwehleleni okungalindelekile esigodini esijulile.
Siyanxusa ukuthi ulalele ngobulula benhliziyo nobuqotho bengqondo ezixwayisweni zikaMama zikaNkulunkulu… OPapa bamaRoma ... njengesibopho sabo sokuncoma ukunakekela kwabathembekile — lapho, ngemuva kokuhlolwa okunomthwalo wemfanelo, bakuhlulela njengenzuzo evamile — izibani ezingaphezu kwamandla emvelo okuthokozise uNkulunkulu ukuthi anikeze ngokukhululekile imiphefumulo ethile enelungelo, hhayi ukuphakamisa izimfundiso ezintsha, kodwa usiqondise ekuziphatheni kwethu. —Ubusisiwe UPAPA JOHN XXIII, uPapal Radio Message, uFebhuwari 18, 1959; L'Osservatore Romano
Kodwa-ke, okwenzeka eSontweni kwembula ukuthi indawo yemfihlakalo nayo ingaphanjaniswa nokuzikhohlisa kanye nobudemoni. Futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu, unxusa ukuqapha okukhulu. Omunye wababhali abaphambili bemfihlakalo wayazi ngokuhlangenwe nakho izingozi ezingaba khona emphefumulweni walowo okholelwa ukuthi bathola izibani zaphezulu. Kukhona ithuba lokuzikhohlisa…
Kuyangimangaza okwenzeka kulezi zinsuku — okuwukuthi, lapho umphefumulo othile onolwazi oluncane kakhulu lokuzindla, uma uqaphela izindawo ezithile zalolu hlobo esimweni esithile sokukhumbula, khona manjalo ubabhabhathiza bonke njengababuya kuNkulunkulu, futhi uthatha ukuthi kunjalo, ethi: “UNkulunkulu uthe kimi…”; “UNkulunkulu wangiphendula…”; kanti akunjalo nhlobo, kepha, njengoba sishilo, kungokwengxenye enkulu labo abazisho lezi zinto bodwa. Futhi, ngaphezu kwalokhu, isifiso abantu abanaso sokuthola usizo, nenjabulo eza nemimoya yabo ivela kubo, ibaholela ekutheni baziphendule bese becabanga ukuthi nguNkulunkulu Obaphendulayo futhi okhuluma nabo. -UJohn weSiphambano, I-Asikhulu leNtaba iKarmeli, Incwadi yesi-2, Isahluko 29, n
… Bese kuba nemithelela emibi yobubi:
[UDeveli] uthakazelisa futhi akhohlise [umphefumulo] ngokukhulu ukukhululeka ngaphandle uma kuthatha ukuqaphela kokuziyekela kuNkulunkulu, nokuzivikela ngokuqinile, ngokukholwa, kuyo yonke lemibono nemizwa. Ngoba kulesi simo udeveli wenza abaningi bakholwe emibonweni eyize naseziphrofethweni ezingamanga; futhi ulwela ukubenza bacabange ukuthi uNkulunkulu nabangcwele bakhuluma nabo; futhi bavame ukuthembela ezifisweni zabo. Futhi noDeveli ujwayele, kulesi simo, ukubagcwalisa ngokuziqhenya nokuziqhenya, ukuze bakhangwe ngamampunge nokuzikhukhumeza, futhi bazivumele ukuthi babonakale benza izenzo zangaphandle ezibukeka zingcwele, njengokudlwengulwa nokunye ukubonakaliswa. Ngaleyo ndlela baba nesibindi noNkulunkulu, bese belahlekelwa ukwesaba okungcwele, okuyiyona key kanye nomgcini wazo zonke izimfanelo ezinhle… —USt. UJohn weSiphambano, Ubusuku Obumnyama, Incwadi II, n. 3
Ngaphandle "kovalo olungcwele," lokho ukuthobeka, iSt. John of the Cross unikeza ikhambi eliholayo kithi sonke, okungukuthi singalokothi sizinamathele emibonweni, ekufuneni, noma ezenzakalweni. Noma nini lapho sinamathela kulezo zinto ezitholwa yi izinzwa, sisuka kude ukholo ngoba ukukholwa kudlula izinzwa, futhi ukukholwa kuyindlela yokuhlangana noNkulunkulu.
Kuhle-ke ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi umphefumulo kufanele uzenqabe lezi zinto, futhi uvale amehlo abo kuzo, lapho zifika. Ngoba, ngaphandle kokuthi yenze njalo, izolungisa indlela yalezo zinto ezivela kudeveli, futhi izomnika ithonya elinjalo lokuthi, hhayi nje kuphela imibono yakhe ezofika esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu, kepha imibono yakhe izoqala ukwanda, futhi lezo kaNkulunkulu ayeke, ngendlela yokuthi udeveli abe namandla onke futhi uNkulunkulu angabi nawo. Ngakho-ke kuye kwenzeka emiphefumulweni eminingi engenamqondo nongazi lutho, ethembele kulezi zinto kuze kufike ezingeni lokuthi abaningi babo bakuthole kunzima ukubuyela kuNkulunkulu ngokuhlanzeka kokholo… Ngoba, ngokwenqaba imibono emibi, amaphutha e uSathane uyagwenywa, futhi ngokwaliwa kwemibono emihle asikho isithiyo esinikelwa ekukholweni futhi umoya uvuna izithelo zawo. -Ummango weNtaba iKarmeli, Isahluko XI, n. 8
Vuna okuhle nokungcwele, bese usheshe uphinde uphakamise amehlo akho eMgwaqweni owembulwe ngamaVangeli angcwele nangesiko elingcwele, futhi uhambe ngezindlela zokholo—Umthandazo, Isidlo seSakramente, nezenzo ze ukuthanda.
UKULALELA
Umboni oyiqiniso ubonakala ngomuntu othobekile ukulalela. Okokuqala, kungukulalela umyalezo uqobo lwawo uma, ngokuthandaza ngokucophelela, ukuqonda nokuqondisa ngokomoya, umphefumulo ukholelwa ukuthi lezi zibani zaphezulu zivela eZulwini.
Ingabe kungokwambulelwa isambulo kubo, futhi ngubani othile oqinisekile ukuthi uvela kuNkulunkulu, futhi uzosinikeza imvume eqinile? Impendulo iku-affirmative… —I-POPE BENEDICT XIV, Ubuqhawe Bobuqhawe, I-Vol III, ikhasi.390
Umboni kufanele azithobe ngokuthobeka ekuqondisweni ngumqondisi wokomoya ohlakaniphile futhi ongcwele uma kungenzeka. Sekuyisikhathi eside kuyingxenye yesiko leSonto ukuba "nobaba" emphefumulweni womuntu uNkulunkulu azomusiza ukusiza ukuqonda ukuthi yini yaKhe nokuthi yini engeyona. Siyabubona lobu buhlobo obuhle emiBhalweni uqobo:
Lomyalo ngiwubeka kuwe, Thimothewu, umfana wami, ngokuya ngezwi lesiprofetho elakukhomba kuwe, ukuze uphefumulelwe yilo ukuthi ulwe impi enhle… Wena-ke, ndodana yami, qina emseni okuKristu Jesu… Kepha ufanele ukwazi uThimothewu, ukuthi njengendodana nge ubaba usebenze nami evangelini. (1 Thim. 1:18; 2 Tim. 2: 1; Fil. 2:22)
Ngiyaninxusa egameni lengane yami u-Onesimo, ubaba Sengiboshiwe… (Filemoni 10); Note: USt. Paul futhi usho ukuthi "ubaba" njengompristi nombhishobhi. Ngakho-ke, kusukela ekuqaleni iSonto lamukela isiqu esithi “Fr.” maqondana neziphathimandla zesonto.
Okokugcina, umbonisi kumele ngokuzithandela athumele zonke izambulo ekuhlolweni kweSonto.
Labo abaphethe iSonto kufanele bahlulele ubuqiniso nokusetshenziswa okufanele kwalezi zipho, ngehhovisi labo hhayi ukucisha uMoya, kepha ukuvivinya zonke izinto nokubambelela kokuhle. - UMkhandlu Wesibili WaseVatican, Lumen Gentium,n. 12
UKUQONDA NGOKUQAPHELA
Ngibonile ngokubhalelana okuvela kuma-imeyili engikutholile ukuthi kukhona okulindelwe okungamanga kwabaprofethi abangamaKristu. Okokuqala, ukuthi umbonisi kufanele abe ngusanta ophilayo. Silindele lokhu kwababoni, kepha hhayi ngathi, kunjalo. Kepha uPapa Benedict XIV ucacisa ukuthi akukho bucayi bemvelo obudingekayo ukuze umuntu athole izambulo:
… Ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu ngothando akusweleki ukuze ube nesipho sokuprofetha, ngakho-ke kwesinye isikhathi kwanikezwa ngisho nezoni; leso siprofetho asikaze sibe nomkhuba kumuntu nje… -Ubuqhawe Bobuqhawe, Umq. III, ikhasi. 160
Simakadze wakhuluma ngembongolo yaBhalamu. (Numeri 22:28). Kodwa-ke, esinye sezihlolisiso iSonto elisebenzayo ngemuva izambulo zamukelwa ukuthi zithinta kanjani umboni. Isibonelo, uma ngabe umuntu wayeyisidakwa phambilini, ngabe useyishiyile indlela yakhe yokuphila eyisimanga, njll.
Omunye umfundi wathi uphawu lwangempela lomprofethi “ukunemba okungu-100%”. Ngenkathi umprofethi efakazelwa eyiqiniso ngokunikeza iziphrofetho eziyiqiniso, iSonto, ekuboneni kwalo isambulo sangasese, liyabona ukuthi umbono uza womuntu ithuluzi elingabuye lihumushe igama likaNkulunkulu elimsulwa ngokwehlukile kunalokho uNkulunkulu ayekuhlosile, noma, ekusebenziseni i- umkhuba ongokwesiprofetho, bacabanga ukuthi bakhuluma ngoMoya, kanti kungumoya wabo okhulumayo.
Ukuvela okunjalo ngezikhathi ezithile komkhuba oyiphutha wokuprofetha akufanele kuholele ekulahlweni kwawo wonke umzimba wolwazi olungaphezu kwemvelo okwakhulunywa ngumphrofethi, uma kuqondwa kahle ukuthi kwakha isiprofetho esiyiqiniso. Futhi, ezimweni lapho kuhlolisiswa abantu abanjalo ukuthola ukugcotshwa noma ukugcotshwa kwezikhundla, kufanele amacala abo achithwe, ngokusho kukaBenedict XIV, inqobo nje uma lowo muntu ngokuthobeka evuma iphutha lakhe lapho elethwa kuye. —UDkt. UMark Miravalle, Isambulo Esizimele: Ukuqonda NgeSonto, iphe. I-21
Abathembekile kumele futhi bazi "ngeziphrofetho ezinemibandela" lapho kukhulunywa khona igama eliyiqiniso, kepha kuncishiswa noma kuqedwe ngomkhuleko nangokuphenduka noma ngentando kaNkulunkulu, kungakhombisi ukuthi lo mprofethi uyiqiniso, kepha ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungusomandla.
Futhi-ke, ukuthobeka akufuneki kuphela kumboni nasembonweni, kepha nakwabemukela umyalezo. Ngenkathi amakholwa ekhululekile ukwenqaba isambulo sangasese esivunyelwe ngokwenkolo, ukukhuluma obala ngokumelene naso kungaba yinto esolayo. UBenedict XIV naye uyaqinisekisa ukuthi:
Lowo ophakanyiswa futhi emenyezelwa kuye lokho kwembulwa ngasese, kufanele akholwe futhi alalele umyalo noma umyalezo kaNkulunkulu, uma kuchazwe kuye ngobufakazi obanele… Ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhuluma naye, okungenani esebenzisa omunye, futhi ngenxa yalokho uyamdinga ukukholwa; ngakho-ke, ukuthi uzokholwa nguNkulunkulu, Lowo omdinga ukuba enze njalo. -Ubuqhawe Bobuqhawe, I-Vol III, k. 394
Ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni wethu lapho amafu amnyama esiphepho aqala ukuhwalala futhi ukuhwalala kwalesi sikhathi kufiphala, kufanele sibonge uNkulunkulu ngokuthi usithumela izibani zaphezulu ukukhanyisa uMgwaqo kwabaningi abaphambukile. Esikhundleni sokushesha ukugxeka labo ababizelwe kule mishini engajwayelekile, kufanele sicele uNkulunkulu ukuhlakanipha ukuqonda okuvela Kuye, kanye nesisa sokuthanda labo abangekho.
