Ukugcwala Kwesono: Okubi Kumele Kuzikhandle

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngo-Okthoba 20, 2009. Ngingeze umyalezo wakamuva ovela kuMama Wethu ongezansi… 

LAPHO yindebe yokuhlupheka okufanele iphuzwe kuyo Kabili ekugcwaleni kwesikhathi. Sekuvele kuthululwe yiNkosi yethu uJesu uqobo, owathi, eNsimini yaseGetsemane, wakubeka ezindebeni zakhe emthandazweni wakhe ongcwele wokulahlwa:

Baba wami, uma kungenzeka, mayidlule le ndebe kimi; nokho, kungabi njengoba kuthanda mina, kodwa kube njengoba kuthanda wena. (Math 26:39)

Indebe kufanele igcwaliswe futhi ukuze Umzimba Wakhe, ozolandela iNhloko yayo, ozongena ekuthandekeni kwakhe ekubambeni iqhaza ekuhlengweni kwemiphefumulo:

Indebe engiyiphuzayo mina, uzakuyiphuza wena, futhi ngobhapathizo engibhapathizwa ngalo, uzobhapathizwa nawe… (Marku 10:39)

Konke okushiwo ngoKristu kumele kushiwo ngeBandla, ngoba uMzimba, okuyiBandla kumele ulandele iNhloko enguKristu. Lokhu engikhuluma ngakho lapha akukhona nje kuphela ukuvivinywa komuntu siqu kanye nezinsizi okumele ngamunye wethu azibekezelele ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe, njengoba uSt. Paul esho:

Kuyadingeka kithi ukuthi sibhekane nobunzima obuningi ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu. (IzEnzo 14:22)

Esikhundleni salokho, ngikhuluma nge:

...iPhasika lokugcina, lapho [iSonto] lizolandela iNkosi yalo ekufeni naseVukweni kwakhe. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 677

INDEBE YEBANDLA

Ngemuva kokuthi uNkulunkulu ehlanze umhlaba ngozamcolo, uNowa wakha i-altare. Phezu kwaleli altare, uNkulunkulu wabeka indebe engabonakali. Ekugcineni yayizogcwaliswa ngezono zabantu, bese inikelwa kuKristu eNsimini yaseGetsemane. Ngenkathi iNkosi yethu iphuza kuze kube sekugcineni, ukusindiswa komhlaba kufinyelelwe. Kuphelile, Yathi iNkosi yethu. Kepha obekungaphelele bekungukuthi the isicelo yomusa kaKristu osindisayo ngoMzimba waKhe, lelo iBandla. ^[1]qhathanisa Ukuqonda isiphambano Ngezibonakaliso nezimangaliso nokumenyezelwa kweVangeli, wayezoba yisakramente elibonakalayo lensindiso, umnyango ophakeme lapho umhlaba uzomenyelwa khona ukuthi udlule olakeni uye ekulungeni. Kepha ekugcineni, “ukuba yisibonakaliso esizophikiswa… ukuze kuvezwe imicabango yezinhliziyo eziningi”(ULuka 2: 34-35). Nakho lokhu kuyingxenye yomsebenzi wakhe "wesakramente". Ngesikhathi esiphelele sesikhathi sakhe, ukukhathazeka nokuvuka kwakhe kuzodabula izinhliziyo zezizwe, futhi bonke bazobona ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi, nokuthi iBandla Lakhe nguMlobokazi Wakhe othandekayo.

Kepha okokuqala, indebe yokuhlupheka kwakhe kumele igcwaliswe. Ngani? Ngezono zomhlaba, nezakhe izono.  Kufanele kufike isikhathi, kusho uSt. lapho indebe izophuphuma ngokuhlubuka. Njengoba noKristu uqobo wamlahla, kanjalo noMzimba Wakhe uzokwaliwa:

… Ukuhlubuka kuza kuqala, kwembulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokubhujiswa. (2 Thes. 2: 3)

Ngubani le ndodana yokulahlwa noma Umphik'ukristu? Unguye ukwenziwa komuntu yenkomishi. Unguye ithuluzi lokuhlanzwa. Ngokokuqala ngqa indebe yadakwa, uNkulunkulu wathululela kuKrestu ukugcwala kolaka lwaKhe olulungile ngokukhaphela uJuda, “indodana yokubhujiswa”(Jn 17:12). Okwesibili lapho indebe izothululwa khona, ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu buzothululwa, kuqala phezu kweSonto, bese kuthi umhlaba ngokukhaphela uMphikukristu ozonikeza izizwe "ukwanga kokuthula." Ekugcineni, kuzoba ukwanga kwezinsizi eziningi.

Thatha le ndebe yewayini eligwebu esandleni sami, uziphuzise zonke izizwe engizokuthuma kuzo. Bayakuphuza, badideke, bahlanye, ngenxa yenkemba engizoyithuma phakathi kwabo. (Jeremiya 25: 15-16)

Ixhunyaniswe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa nendebe yeSonto indalo, nayo ehlanganyela endebeni yokuhlupheka. ^[2]qhathanisa Ukudalwa Okusha

...ngokuba indalo yenziwa yanikelwa ngaphansi kobuze, hhayi ngokuthanda kwayo kepha ngenxa yalowo owayithobayo, ngethemba lokuthi indalo uqobo yayizokhululwa ebugqilini bokonakala futhi ihlanganyele enkululekweni ekhazimulayo yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Roma 8: 19-21)

Konke okudaliwe kufanele kuhlengwe ngendlela uKristu akwenze ngayo: "endebeni." Ngakho-ke yonke indalo iyabubula (Roma 8:22)

Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina bantu bakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba uJehova unenkathazo ngabakhileyo ezweni: akukho ukuthembeka, akukhohawu, nakwaziwa uNkulunkulu ezweni. Inhlamba yamanga, ukuqamba amanga, ukubulala, ukweba nokuphinga! Ukweqa kwabo umthetho, ukuchitheka kwegazi kulandela ukuchitheka kwegazi. Ngalokho izwe liyalila, nakho konke okukulo kuyafa, izilwane zasendle, izinyoni zezulu, nezinhlanzi zolwandle. (Hos 4: 1-3)

UKUGCWALA

Njengoba sisondela eminyakeni engu-100 ku-2017 yemibukiso kaFatima, ngizwa kaningi enhliziyweni yami la mazwi:

Okubi kumele kuzikhandle. 

Ngithole, eqinisweni, induduzo enkulu nokuthula kuleli gama. Kunjengokungathi iNkosi ithi, “Izinhliziyo zenu mazingakhathazeki ngobubi enizokubona; kufanele kube njalo, kuvunyelwe by Isandla Sami Saphezulu. Okubi kumele kuzikhandle, ukukhombisa umuntu ukuthi izindlela Zakhe akuzona izindlela zami. Futhi-ke, kuzofika ukusa okusha. Njengoba nje ububi bazikhathaza ngeNdodana Yami, bethululela ulaka kuYe, ngokushesha kwahlulwa ngamandla oVuko. Kuyoba njalo nangeSonto. ”

Kepha ukuhlubuka kufanele kuze kuqala. Ububi buyovinjelwa, ^[3]qhathanisa Ukususa Isithintelo uthi uSt. Paul:

Ngoba imfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho isiyasebenza. Kepha ozibambayo ukwenza lokho okwamanje kuphela, aze asuswe endaweni yesigameko. Bese kuthi lowo ongenamthetho ambulwe… (2 Thes. 2: 7-8)

Esinye isici salokhu kuhlubuka, empeleni, ukwenqaba ngokuphelele ubuKristu. Lokhu kwenzeka ngezinga lokuchazeka eNtshonalanga njengoba izinkantolo zichaza kabusha izisekelo zomphakathi: umshado, ilungelo lokuphila, inani lempilo, incazelo yobulili bomuntu, njll. Isithelo salokhu sibonakala ekuqhumeni kobufebe , intukuthelo, ukuzitika ngokweqile, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, ukuzimela wedwa, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo nokubhuqa. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, amabandla amaKatolika ayaguga futhi ancipha. Ukube bekungekhona ukuthuthela kwelinye izwe, amasonto amaningi amaKatolika ngabe kade avalwa.

EMpumalanga, ukwenqatshwa kobuKristu kuyenzeka ngenkemba. KuSambulo, sifunda ekwehlukweni koPhawu lwesihlanu ukuthi luzoqhubeka ize igcwale indebe.

Lapho livula uphawu lwesihlanu, ngabona ngaphansi kwe-altare imiphefumulo yalabo ababebulewe ngenxa yobufakazi ababunikeza ngezwi likaNkulunkulu. Bakhala ngezwi elikhulu, "Kuyoze kube nini, nkosi engcwele neqiniso, ngaphambi kokuba uhlale ekwahluleleni futhi uphindisele igazi lethu kubakhileyo emhlabeni?" Ngamunye wabo wanikezwa ingubo emhlophe, futhi batshelwa ukuthi babekezele isikhashana kuze kube yilapho isibalo sigcwaliswa yizisebenzi ezikanye nabo nabafowabo ababezobulawa njengoba babebulewe. (IsAm 6: 9-11)

Futhi uSt. John uyachaza ngemuva kwesikhashana Kanjani bayabulawa (uPhawu lwesihlanu):

Ngabona nemiphefumulo yalabo ababekade bekhona anqunywe ikhanda ngobufakazi babo kuJesu nangezwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi owayengazange asikhulekele isilo noma umfanekiso waso futhi angazange amukele uphawu lwaso… (IsAm 20: 4)

Sibheke loluPhawu lwesihlanu luvulwa ngesikhathi sangempela. Lokhu kufaka ingxenye yesixwayiso ^[4]qhathanisa Ukuqwashisa Ngomoya lokho kwanikezwa nguMama Wethu waseKibeho, okwathi eminyakeni eyishumi nambili ngaphambi kwesibhicongo saseRwanda, waveza izingane ezimbalwa ngemibono ecacile yobudlova obuzayo kanye "nemifula yegazi." Kodwa-ke uMama wethu wathi lesi kwakuyisixwayiso okomhlaba. 

Izwe lishesha ukuya ekuchithekeni kwalo, liyowela kwalasha… Izwe lihlubuka kuNkulunkulu, lenza izono eziningi kakhulu, alinalo uthando noma ukuthula. Uma ungaphenduki futhi ungaguquli izinhliziyo zakho, uzowela kwalasha. -www.kibeho.org

Ubuhlanya buyogqashuka emhlabeni wonke uma singaphenduki—Isihogo Siyadedelwa. Bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, le ndebe, ekhihliza amagwebu ngokuziqhenya kwabantu, isiqalile ukugcwala. Mangaki amanye amaconsi okukhipha isisu? Zingaki ezinye izinhlamba? Zingaki izimpi? Zingaki ezinye izigameko zokubulawa kwabantu? Kuningi kangakanani izithombe zobulili ezingcolile, ikakhulukazi izithombe zocansi ezinganeni? Mangaki imiphefumulo engenacala ephulwe yizinkanuko, ukuhaha, nobugovu babantu? Ngesikhathi ngibhala lokhu ngo-2009 ngise-Europe, ngiwazwile amagama ngokucacile enhliziyweni yami:

Ukugcwala kwesono… Indebe igcwele.

Okubi kumele kuzikhandle. Isono sifinyelela ukugcwala kwaso esikhathini sethu. Njengoba uPapa Pius XII asho,

Isono sekhulu leminyaka ukulahleka komuzwa wesono. —1946 ekhuluma ne-United States Catechetical Congress

Kepha ngibona nobukhona obunamandla bukaKristu noMama wethu obunqoba ubumnyama njengelanga lasekuseni. Icebo elingcwele livuleka phambi kwethu ngasikhathi sinye. Ngoba niyabona, iZulu alisabeli esihogweni — nguSathane oququdayo, ngoba isikhathi sakhe sifushane. Ujaha ukugcwalisa inkomishi ngenxa yenzondo nomona. Futhi-ke, uMama wethu uyaqhubeka nokusinikeza isexwayiso esihlala njalo futhi esinothando sokuthi sonke kumele sizilungiselele le ndebe, lesi sizukulwane esiphakamisela ukuyiphuza ngokuzithandela. Laba bantu bayengwa ngudrako, lowo mqambimanga wasendulo. Lo mlayezo olandelayo, okusolwa ukuthi uvela kuMama Wethu, uyisifinyezo salokho engikubhale ngayizolo kuqhubeke Ukuphuma eBabiloni. 

Bantwana abathandekayo, abantu ababi bazothatha isinyathelo sokunihlukanisa neqiniso, kodwa iQiniso likaJesu Wami alisoze laba iqiniso elingaphelele. Lalela. Thembeka. Ningazivumeli ningcoliswe udaka lwezimfundiso zamanga ezizosakazeka yonke indawo. Hlala neqiniso elingapheli; hlala neVangeli likaJesu Wami. Ubuntu sebuyimpumputhe ngokomoya ngoba abantu balishiyile iqiniso. Jikeleza. UNkulunkulu wakho uyakuthanda futhi ulindele wena. Okufanele ukwenze, ungakushiyi kusasa. Shiya umhlaba uphile uphendukele ePharadesi, okwadalelwa wena wedwa. Phambili. Ungabuyeli emuva… hlala unokuthula. -INdlovukazi Yethu Yendlovukazi Yokuthula kuPedro Regis, Okthoba 5th, 2017; UPedro wesekwa ngumbhishobhi wakhe

Futhi-ke, bafowethu nodadewethu, kufanele sihlale sisesimweni somusa, sigqoke izikhali zikaNkulunkulu. Kufanele sikulungele ukunikeza okwethu fiat kuNkulunkulu. Kufanele sithandazele futhi sinxenxele imiphefumulo ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu. Futhi kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi ikusasa labathembekile akulona elenhlekelele, kepha sethemba… yize kumele sidlule ebusika ngaphambi kokuba kube nesikhathi esisha sentwasahlobo. Mayelana nale ndebe, imiBhalo ithi futhi:

… Ukuqina sekufikile ku-Israyeli ngokwengxenye, kuze kufike inani eliphelele labezizwe, ngakho-ke wonke u-Israyeli uzosindiswa. (Rom 11: 25-26)

Ngo-2009, ngangifuna ukumemeza: izinsuku zisondele. Kepha manje balapha. Sengathi iNkosi ingasihola kulesi sigodi sethunzi lokufa size sifinyelele emadlelweni okunqoba kukaNkosikazi Wethu. 

Yebo, indebe isesandleni sikaJehova, iwayini eligwebu, elinongiwe ngokuphelele. Lapho uNkulunkulu ewuthulula, bazowuconsa bawufake ngisho nasezitsheni; bonke ababi bomhlaba kumele baphuze. Kepha ngiyakujabula kuze kube phakade; Ngiyakuhlabelela ngidumise uNkulunkulu kaJakobe, othe: “Ngiyakunquma zonke izimpondo zababi, kepha izimpondo zabalungileyo ziyakuphakanyiswa.” (IHubo 75: 9-11)
