Ngabe Nami Ngiyogijima?

Ukubethelwa, ngu-Michael D. O'Brien

 

AS Ngibuke futhi i-movie enamandla Ukukhathazeka KukaKristu, Ngashaywa yisibambiso sikaPeter sokuthi uzoya ejele, aze afele uJesu! Kepha ngemuva kwamahora nje, uPeter wamphika ngokuqinile kathathu. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngezwa ubumpofu bami: “Nkosi, ngaphandle komusa wakho, nami ngizokukhaphela…”

Singathembeka kanjani kuJesu kulezi zinsuku zokudideka, ukukhwabanisa, nokuhlubuka? ^[1]qhathanisa UPapa, ikhondomu, nokuhlanzwa kwesonto Singaqiniseka kanjani ukuthi nathi ngeke sisibalekele iSiphambano? Ngoba sekuvele kusizungezile. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwalokhu kubhalwa kobuphostoli, ngiyizwile iNkosi ikhuluma nge Ukusefa Okukhulu 'kokhula phakathi kukakolweni.' ^[2]qhathanisa Ukhula Phakathi Kokolweni Lokho empeleni a ukuphikiswa isivele yakha eSontweni, yize ingakabikho obala ngokugcwele. ^[3]cf. Usizi Losizi Kuleli sonto, uBaba oNgcwele ukhulume ngalokhu kuhlungwa eMiseni elingcwele langolwesine.

… Njengoba uKristu atshela uPetru, “Simoni, Simoni, bheka, uSathane ubenifuna, ukuze anihluze njengokolweni,” namuhla “sibuye sazi kabuhlungu ukuthi uSathane uvunyelwe ukuhlunga abafundi ngaphambi komhlaba wonke. ” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IMisa leSidlo SeNkosi, ngo-Ephreli 21, 2011

Wena nami simi kuphi kulokhu kuhlunga? Ingabe siphakathi kokhula noma ukolweni?

Nathi sithola izaba lapho ukuba ngabafundi bakhe kuqala ukuba kubiza kakhulu, kuyingozi kakhulu. —Ibhid.

Uma uJudas, uPetru, nabaPhostoli babalekela iNkosi ehoreni laKhe losizi, nathi sizolibalekela iSonto lapho lingena othandweni lwalo? ^[4]funda uchungechunge lwesiprofetho ngothando oluzayo lweSonto: Isivivinyo Seminyaka Eyisikhombisa Impendulo incike kulokho esikwenzayo manje, hhayi ke.

Ekugcineni, kwakukhona labo abasala ngaphansi kweSiphambano, okungoMary noJohn. Kanjani? Isibindi namandla abo avelaphi? Ngaphakathi kwale mpendulo kulele u- ukhiye ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzobavikela kanjani abathembekile ezinsukwini ezizayo nezizayo…

 

UJOHN

ESidlweni Sokugcina, siyafunda:

Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda, wayelele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. (Johane 13:23)

Noma uJohn abaleka engadini ekuqaleni, wabuyela onyaweni lwesiphambano. Kungani? Ngoba ubekade elele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. UJohn walalela ukushaya kwenhliziyo kukaNkulunkulu, izwi likaMelusi elaliphindaphinda kaninginingi, “Ngiwumusa. Ngiwumusa. Ngiwumusa… ” UJohn wayezobhala kamuva, “Uthando oluphelele luxosha ukwesaba ... " ^[5]1 Joh 4:18 Kwakunanhlokomo yalezo zishaya zenhliziyo, i-double-echo ye Uthando Nomusa, owaqondisa uJohn esiphambanweni. Ingoma yothando evela eNhliziyweni Engcwele yoMsindisi kuminyanise izwi lokwesaba.

Kanjalo nakithi, uma sifisa ukuthwala esethu isiphambano siye eKalvari, uma sifisa ukunqoba ukwesaba kwabashushisi bethu, kufanele sichithe isikhathi elele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. Ngalokhu, ngiqonde ukuthi kufanele sichithe isikhathi usuku ngalunye ku umkhuleko. Kusemthandazweni lapho sihlangana khona noJesu. Kusemthandazweni lapho sizwa khona ukushaya kwenhliziyo kothando okuqala ukuzwelana nobuntu bethu bonke, okwedlule, okwamanje, nekusasa, kubeka zonke izinto ngombono waphezulu. Kodwa-ke, ngomkhuleko angisho ukuthi nje "sibeka isikhathi," kepha ukuthi thina sizifake. Ukuthi ngiza kuYe ngiyingane encane, ngikhuluma Naye ngenhliziyo, futhi ngimlalele ekhuluma nami ngeZwi lakhe. Ngale ndlela ubudlelwano bakhela phezu “…uthando oluxosha ukwesaba. ”

Ingozi esabekayo namuhla ukuthi abaningi basondela kuNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo evaliwe, "bebeka isikhathi," kodwa ngaphandle kokuzibophezela, ukwethembeka, nothando oluncane. Kuyasangulukisa ukubona ukuthi uJuda, owakhaphela uJesu, futhi uthathe uMthendeleko:

Lowo odle isinkwa sami ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe… omunye wenu uzongikhaphela… Nguye engizomnika lolu qhekeko lapho sengilusicwile. (Johane 13:18, 21, 26)

Kithina, izindawo ezingenalutho etafuleni lomkhosi weNkosi… izimemo zenqabile, ukungabi nentshisekelo kuye nokusondela kwakhe… noma ngabe kuyathetheleleka noma cha, akusekho umfanekiso kepha sekuyiqiniso, kulawo mazwe ayewembulele ukusondela kwakhe ngendlela ekhethekile. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IMisa leSidlo SeNkosi, ngo-Ephreli 21, 2011

UJuda wakhaphela uJesu ngoba “Awunakukhonza uNkulunkulu futhi mamoni ”: ^[6]I-Matt 6: 24

… Uma kukhona omunye umuntu enhliziyweni enjalo, angikwazi ukukuthwala futhi ngiyishiye ngokushesha leyo nhliziyo, ngihambe Nami zonke izipho nomusa engiwulungiselele umphefumulo. Futhi umphefumulo awukuqapheli ngisho nokuhamba Kwami. Emva kwesikhathi esithile, ubuze bangaphakathi nokungagculiseki kuzonaka [emphefumulweni]. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, IDayari, n. 1638

Endabeni kaJudas, wazama ukugcwalisa “ubuze nokunganeliseki” ngezinhlamvu zesiliva ezingamashumi amathathu. Bangaki kithi abajaha izinto zalomhlaba ezingasoze zanelisa inhliziyo! Lapho simatasa sibeka ingcebo lapha emhlabeni, bese sibeka imiphefumulo yethu engcupheni yokuthi "amasela angagqekeza ebe" ^[7]isib. Mat 6:20 insindiso yethu. Kungakho uJesu axwayisa abaPhostoli abasensimini ukuthi qaphela futhi uthandaze...

… Ukuze ungavivinywa. Umoya uyavuma, kepha inyama ibuthakathaka. (Math 26:41)

By elele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu, umusa okhethekile unikezwa umphefumulo, umusa ogeleza njenge- ocean Kusuka enhliziyweni yoMusa Waphezulu:

… Isosha elilodwa lafaka inkemba yalo ohlangothini lwalo, kwahle kwaphuma igazi namanzi. (Johane 19:34; nguJohane kuphela owabhala lo mcimbi emaVangelini)

UJohn wakwazi ukuma ngaphansi kwalesosihlambi somusa ngoba wayesevele egeza oLwandle loMusa ngaphambi kokuba kufike lesi silingo esikhulu. Futhi njengoba uSt. Faustina embula kithi, isihe Saphezulu esikhathini sethu sisebenza njenge- umkhumbi futhi isiphephelo ngemiphefumulo kusukela “ngosuku lobulungiswa”

Kuyisibonakaliso sezikhathi zokugcina; emva kwalo luzofika usuku lobulungiswa. Ngenkathi isikhathi sisekhona, mabasebenzise umthombo wesisa Sami; mabazuze ngeGazi naManzi okuphume kubo. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 848

Umusa wakhe uyasivikela enkohlisweni:

Ngibeka ithemba lami olwandle lomusa Wakho, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi ithemba lami ngeke likhohliswe. —N. 69

Uhamba nathi ngehora lokufa:

O Nhliziyo kaJesu enesihe esikhulu, evulwe ngentambo, ngikhosele ngomzuzu wokugcina wokuphila kwami. —N. 813

Ehoreni lobuthakathaka:

… Umphefumulo wami ulusizi kakhulu, kulapho ngizwa khona ulwandle lomusa kaNkulunkulu lungigubuzela futhi lunginika amandla namandla amakhulu. - inombolo 225

… Futhi lapho ithemba libonakala lilahlekile:

Ngiyethemba ngokumelene nalo lonke ithemba olwandle lomusa Wakho. —N. 309

Ukholo lukaJohane lwasindiswa ngoba, ngamafuphi nje, wayekhona one ne Umthendeleko, eyiNhliziyo kaJesu.

 

UMARIYA

UMariya wawatholaphi amandla okulandela uJesu? Ukuphendula lokhu, kungabuzwa omunye umbuzo: ngabe abaPhostoli, ababebalekele eNsimini, bawathole kuphi ngokuzumayo amandla okuba abafel 'ukholo ngemuva kokuKhuphuka kukaKrestu? Impendulo ithi UMoya oNgcwele. Ngemuva kwePhentekoste, ukwesaba kwabaPhostoli kwaphela, futhi bagcwala amandla amasha, isibindi esisha, nombono ovuselelwe. Futhi umbono kwakungukuthi kwakufanele bazidele, bathathe isiphambano sabo, balandele uJesu.

UMariya wakuqonda lokhu kusukela ngesikhathi ingelosi uGabriyeli ibonakala kuye. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, yena waziphika, wathatha isiphambano sakhe, walandela iNdodana yakhe:

Kwangathi kungenziwa kimi ngokwezwi lakho. (Luka 1:38)

UMoya oNgcwele wabe esehlela kuye- ”amandla oPhezukonke ” kwamgubuzela. ^[8]isib. ULuka 1:35

UMary uyisibonelo sethu. Usikhombisa ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngumfundi kaJesu ku ekupheleni. Akuyona indaba yokuzama ukwakha isibindi namandla ahloniphekile, kodwa ngokuba "yincekukazi ethobekile" yeNkosi; yokufuna kuqala uMbuso kaNkulunkulu, hhayi umbuso wasemhlabeni. Akungabazeki, lokhu kuyisizathu sokuthi kungani abaPhostoli babalekela ihlazo leSiphambano. Babefuna ukuthi uMbuso kaJesu uvumelane nohlaka lwabo kunokuba ungene kolunye uhlangothi. Ngezizathu ezifanayo, abaningi babaleka iSonto namuhla.

Nathi sikuthola kunzima ukwamukela ukuthi wazibophezela ekulinganisweni kweSonto lakhe kanye nabefundisi balo. Nathi asifuni ukwamukela ukuthi akanamandla emhlabeni. Nathi sithola izaba lapho ukuba ngabafundi bakhe kuqala ukuba kubiza kakhulu, kuyingozi kakhulu. Sonke sidinga ukuguqulwa okusenza samukele uJesu ngokoqobo njengoNkulunkulu nomuntu. Sidinga ukuthobeka komfundi olandela intando yeNkosi yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IMisa leSidlo SeNkosi, ngo-Ephreli 21, 2011

Yebo, “sidinga ukuthobeka komfundi,” uMariya onomusa. Esikhundleni salokho, ikakhulukazi kusukela eVatican II, sibone ukuhlubuka nokuziqhenya okwethusayo ekusetshenzisweni kwe-Sacred Tradition, i-Liturgy, ngisho noBaba oNgcwele uqobo — ikakhulukazi phakathi "kwezazi zenkolo." ^[9]qhathanisa UPapa, iThermometer yokuhlubuka UMary usikhombisa indlela eya eKalvari ngokuqina kwakhe ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu njengaye waziphika, wathatha isiphambano sakhe, walandela UJesu ngaphandle kokuzibekela. Noma engakuzwisisi konke akushoyo, ^[10]isib. ULuka 2: 50-51 akazange alidalule iqiniso ukuze lilingane nombono wakhe womhlaba. ^[11]qhathanisa Liyini iQiniso? Kunalokho, walalela kwaze kwaba sezingeni lapho inkemba nayo yahlaba enhliziyweni yakhe. ^[12]isib. ULuka 2:35 UMary wayengagxilile wakhe umbuso, amacebo namaphupho akhe, kepha phezu kombuso, amacebo namaphupho eNdodana yakhe. Ngenkathi ezithulula ngokwengeziwe, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wamgcwalisa kakhulu. Ungakusho lokhu uthando oluphelele lwaxosha konke ukwesaba.

 

FUNA KUQALA UMBUSO

Kungakho-ke, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, ngibona sengathi iNkosi icishe isimemeza kulezi zinsuku ukuba sizenze Phuma eBablyon! futhi siqale ukungasaziphileli thina kepha siphilele Yena; ukumelana nomoya walomhlaba futhi uvule izinhliziyo zethu kuMoya kaJesu (zincane kangakanani izimpilo zethu lapha! Lide kangakanani iphakade!). Uma ubekezela, khona-ke ungaqiniseka ukuthi ngeke uhlale ngokuthembeka eKalvari kuphela, kodwa uzonikela ngokuzithandela ngempilo yakho ngenxa kaKristu kanye nomfowenu.

Ngoba ugcinile umyalezo wami wokukhuthazela, ngizokugcina uphephile ngesikhathi sokulingwa esizofika emhlabeni wonke ukuvivinya abakhileyo emhlabeni. (IsAm. 3:10)

Ngokubambisana, uJohn noMary basikhombisa ukuthi singahlala kanjani “ngaphansi kweSiphambano” njengoba iPassion yeSonto isondela: ngokusebenzisa umkhuleko wenhliziyo futhi ukulalela ngokuphelele. Intando kaNkulunkulu ingukudla kwethu, ^[13]isib. Johane 4:34 futhi umthandazo uyindlela esidla ngayo lesi “sinkwa semihla ngemihla.” Lokhu kudla kwaphezulu, okuyisidlo salo okunguMthendeleko, "kungumthombo nengqungquthela" yamandla esizowadinga kulezi zinsuku ezizayo njengoba siqala ukukhuphuka iKalvari yethu sibheke Uvuko...

Nkosi Jesu, ubikezele ukuthi sizobamba iqhaza ekushushisweni okukulethele ekufeni okunobudlova. ISonto elakhiwa ngentengo yegazi lakho eliyigugu manje selifana nePastor yakho; sengathi angaguqulwa, manje nangonaphakade, ngamandla ovuko lwakho. —Umthandazo weHubo, Imfundiso yenkolo yehoras, Umq. III, k. 1213

Umama Wethu Wosizi, uSt. John uMvangeli… sikhulekele.
