Ukuhlakanipha nokuhlangana kwesiphithiphithi

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngo-Ephreli 17, 2011, ngivuke namhlanje ekuseni ngibona ukuthi iNkosi ifuna ngiphinde ngikushicilele lokhu. Iphuzu eliyinhloko ekugcineni, kanye nesidingo sokuhlakanipha. Kubafundi abasha, konke okunye ukuzindla nakho kungasebenza njengokuvuselela ukuvusa ubucayi bezikhathi zethu….

OLUNYE Esikhathini esedlule, ngilalele emsakazweni izindaba zezindaba mayelana nombulali obulalayo endaweni ethile e-New York, nazo zonke izimpendulo ezethusayo. Ukusabela kwami ​​kokuqala kwaba intukuthelo ngobuwula balesi sizukulwane. Ngabe sikholwa ngokungathi sína ukuthi ukubabusisa njalo ababulali bengqondo, ababulali abaningi, abadlwenguli ababi, nempi “ekuzijabuliseni” kwethu akunamthelela enhlalakahleni yethu engokomzwelo nengokomoya? Ukubuka nje ngokushesha emashalofini esitolo sokuqasha amabhayisikobho kwembula isiko elithule kangaka, elinganakile, nelingaboni kahle iqiniso lokugula kwethu kwangaphakathi size sikholwe ukuthi ukuthanda kwethu ukukhonza izithombe, ukwethuka nobudlova kuyinto ejwayelekile.

Ngibhale kabanzi ngobude ngalokhu, ukucaphuna isifundo ngemiphumela yodlame lomdlalo wevidiyo: ^[1]qhathanisa Umshini Omkhulu

… Okuqukethwe kwemidiya eminingi yokuzijabulisa, nokumaketha kwalezo zindaba kuhlangana kukhiqize "ukungenelela okunamandla kokungabi namuntu ku global izinga. ” … Imithombo yezindaba yesimanje yezokuzijabulisa ingachazwa ngokunembile njengethuluzi elisebenza kahle lokuhlehla udlame. Ukuthi imiphakathi yanamuhla ifuna lokhu kuqhubeke ikakhulukazi umbuzo wenqubomgomo yomphakathi, hhayi owesayensi kuphela.  Isifundo se-Iowa State University, Imiphumela Yobudlova Begeyimu Yevidiyo Ekuqedeni Amandla Kwezemvelo kuDlame Lwempilo Yangempela; Carnagey, Anderson, noFerlazzo; isihloko esivela ku- ISU News Service; Julayi 24, 2006

Futhi sishaqekile lapho sizwa ngalo ikhophi-ikati isikole futhi ukudubula okungahleliwe? Lapho sizwa mayelana amasosha athatha izimpilo ezingenacala? Lapho sibona abazali abasha ngokwengeziwe ukubulala izinsana? Ngabe siyiziphukuphuku ngempela yini — ingabe siyizilima? Yebo, ngoba abantu ngokuvamile banesifiso sokubuka ithelevishini engenangqondo kunokuguqa ngamadolo bese becela uNkulunkulu ukuba agcwalise isikhala esidabukisayo ezinhliziyweni zabo. Mhlawumbe isizathu abangasenzi ngaso kungenxa yokuthi iSonto LaseNtshonalanga selithule kakhulu, hhayi kuphela kokuphazamisayo izindaba zokuziphatha zosuku lwethu, ngaleyo ndlela linikeze cishe akukho ukukhanya kokuziphatha okuqondisayo ebumnyameni, kepha kunesidingo sokwenza “Phenduka, ukholwe yilezindaba ezinhle. ” Kukhona I Umshini Omkhulu impela, futhi kuyenzeka bagcwala umoya wezwe. ^[2]isib. Isazi seVatican: “I-Moral Relativism Ivula Indlela Yobusathane"

Kube nokuthula phansi kwalesi sizukulwane ukuthi, eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule ngithandaze, ngezwa iNkosi isithi ngisho nabathembekile eSontweni abakuboni ukuthi sikhohliswe kangakanani nokuthi siwele kude kangakanani. ^[3]bheka Ukuhlinzwa kweCosmic futhi Inkohliso Enkulu Ngenkathi sinolwazi oluningi ezandleni zethu kunanoma isiphi isizukulwane esedlule, lokho esikuntula ngempela namuhla ukuhlakanipha. Ngempela, uPapa Benedict uthi, kukhona "ukusitheka kwesizathu." ^[4]qhathanisa Ku-Eva

UKUGOQA KWESIBANGANO

Kunesizathu sokuthi ngikhuthaze kakhulu abafundi ukuthi bazingcwelisele uMariya, ukuze bagibele ngokushesha uMphongolo. Kungenxa ukuhlangana kwesiphithiphithi lokho okumbalwa kakhulu kubonakala sengathi bayakwazi. Ngikhuluma nge izenzakalo ze-castrophic zenzeka eJapane; okukhulayo usongo lwempi yenuzi ne-Iran; the ukukhuphuka kwemali entsha nezimpi zemali futhi ukuwa okuzayo komnotho waseMelika; amazwe akhulayo inkinga yokudla; the Intengo ekhuphukayo kaphethiloli; okuqhubekayo ukufa kwabantu abaningi kwezilwane futhi izinyosi emhlabeni wonke; i ukwanda kwenani lokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu nezintaba-mlilo; the ubhadane lwezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi; ukungenelela okwethusayo koMbuso ku inkolo futhi inkululeko yomuntu siqu; the ukugxambukela kofuzo nezinhlobo zethu; futhi ngokushesha ukwehla kwezindinganiso zokuziphatha. InamaKrestu amaningi engiwaziyo ukuthi ayazila futhi ayakhala… ngenkathi abanye bezamula njengoba bephenya imigudu yebhokisi eliyisimungulu. Yeka isibonakaliso esiphawulekayo sezikhathi! Ingabe yilokho uJesu ayeqonde lapho ethi kuzoba “njengasemihleni kaNowa ”?

Ngalezo zinsuku ezandulela uzamcolo, babedla, bephuza, beshada, bendisa, kwaze kwaba sosukwini uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini. Abazanga kwaze kwafika uzamcolo wabakhukhula bonke. (Math 24: 38-39)

Kugcinwe ukungazi ngabezindaba abajwayelekile futhi bathatheka ngumbukiso ongapheli we igajethi, UCharlie Sheen uyaxebuka, izinkanyezi ze-pop ezingagqokile, kanye nempikiswano yakamuva ye-American Idol, abaningi abaqapheli ukuthi sesifikile endaweni ebilayo yobubi emhlabeni wonke. ^[5]qhathanisa UPapa: I-Thermometer Yokuhlubuka Njengoba kwaqhuma isigubhukane ezweni laseRwanda ngemuva kokuxwayiswa kaninginingi okuvela kuMama Obusisiwe ^[6]qhathanisa Izimpawu Eziyisikhombisa Zenguquko, ngokunjalo futhi, abaningi abaqapheli ukuthi umhlaba usondele kangakanani iza ingenziwa. Abapapa baxwayise ngokuthi empeleni kunemizamo ebumbene eyenziwe “izinhlangano eziyimfihlo” zokuletha lesi siphithiphithi embulungeni yonke. ^[7]qhathanisa I-Global Revolution!

Uyazi impela, ukuthi inhloso yaleli cebo elikhohlakele kakhulu ukushayela abantu ukuba bagumbuqele uhlelo lonke lwezindaba zabantu nokubadonsela emibonweni emibi yalobu Busoshiyali nobuKhomanisi… —UPAPPI PIUS IX, UNostis et Nobiscum, Encyclical, n. 18, DISEMBA 8, 1849

… Lokho okuyinjongo yabo yokugcina kuyaphoqa ukuthi kubhekwe — okungukuthi, ukugumbuqelwa ngokuphelele kwaleyo nkolo kanye nezombusazwe zomhlaba okhiqizwe imfundiso yobuKrestu, kanye nokufakwa kwesimo esisha sezinto ngokuhambisana nemibono yabo, okuyothi izisekelo nemithetho izodonswa kokungokwemvelo kuphela. —UPOPE LEO XIII, I-Humanum Genus, Encyclical on Freemasonry, n. 10, Apri 20thl, 1884

Umpristi uthe kimi muva nje ukuthi omunye wabafundisi asebekhulile abakanye naye wasePoland, manje oseMelika, uyaqhubeka nokuphawula ukuthi izimo e-United States zifana kanjani nezasePoland ngeminyaka yamashumi amathathu lapho uHitler eqala khona ukuvuka amandla…

UKUGCWALA OKUKHULU

Kukhona isixwayiso esisangulukisayo esifanayo nalokhu: ukugumbuqelwa kwayo “yonke inqubo yezindaba zabantu” nakho kungukuchithwa esintwini uqobo. Okukude nenkolelo-mbumbulu iqiniso lokuthi zikhona abaholi abakhulu bomhlaba nezinhlangano, hhayi okungenani izizwe Ezihlangene, abahlose ukwenza ukunciphisa inani labantu emhlabeni ukuze kuthengwe “ukuthuthuka okungashabalali." Kuyahlekisa ukuthi abantu bazimisele kangakanani ukukholelwa ku-sasquatch noma i-monster yeLoch Ness kunalapho besesidlangalaleni amadokhumenti, izitatimende, Futhi izenzo lokho kuchaza lokhu isu lamademoni. Isibonelo, i-The Club of Rome, iqembu lokucabanga lomhlaba wonke elibhekene nokwanda kwabantu kanye nezinsizakusebenza ezinciphayo, lafinyelela esiphethweni esibuhlungu embikweni walo wango-1993:

Ekufuneni isitha esisha esizosihlanganisa, saqhamuka nombono wokuthi ukungcoliswa komhlaba, usongo lokufudumala komhlaba, ukushoda kwamanzi, indlala nokunye okunjalo kungafanelana nomthethosivivinywa. Zonke lezi zingozi zidalwa ukungenelela komuntu, futhi kungalezi zimo zokuziphatha kanye nokuziphatha okuguqukile kuphela lapho zinganqotshwa khona. Isitha sangempela-ke, yisintu uqobo. -U-Alexander King noBertrand Schneider. I-First Global Revolution, ikhasi. 75, 1993.

Kukhona ukungazi okwethusayo ngobungozi obudlalayo ezikhathini zethu, okugqugquzelwa ngokwengxenye yilokho imibono ephambene, lapho umuntu eyisitha khona noNkulunkulu akanandaba.

Ubuntu obufaka ngaphandle uNkulunkulu ngubuntu obungenabuntu. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, ICaritas eVeritate, hhayi. 78

I-monster yangempela "isiko lokufa" eliye langena phezu kwe- emakhulwini eminyaka ngokusebenzisa ubuhlakani beMarxism, ukungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, isayensi, ukucabanga, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo, ubuFreudianism, ubufazi obunamandla, iDarwinianism, njll. Ngenkathi abaningi behlise lesi silo saba ukukhipha isisu noma i-euthanisia, kukhona amanye amandla abulalayo asebenzayo ngezikhali ezisongelayo zobuchwepheshe nezamagciwane ngisho noMnyango Wezokuvikela wase-United States uvumile ukuthi ukhona. ^[8]qhathanisa Izwe Liyalila

… Akumele sizibukele phansi izimo eziphazamisayo ezisongela ikusasa lethu, noma izinsimbi ezintsha ezinamandla “isiko lokufa” elinalo. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, ICaritas eVeritate, hhayi. 75

Lowo owandulela uBenedict naye wayefisa “uhlelo olukhulu” lokwehlisa inani labantu emhlabeni:

UFaro wasendulo, ethakaselwa ubukhona nokwanda kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wabathobela kuzo zonke izinhlobo zokucindezelwa futhi wayala ukuthi bonke abantwana besilisa abazalwa ngabesifazane abangamaHeberu babulawe (cf. Ex 1: 7-22). Namuhla abambalwa abanamandla emhlabeni benza ngendlela efanayo. Nabo bahlushwa ukukhula kwamanje kwabantu… Ngenxa yalokho, kunokuba bafise ukubhekana nokuxazulula lezi zinkinga ezinkulu ngokuhlonipha isithunzi sabantu kanye nemindeni kanye nelungelo lomuntu ngamunye lokuphila elingenakuphikiswa, bakhetha ukukhuthaza nokubeka ngenkani nganoma iyiphi indlela uhlelo olukhulu lokulawulwa kokuzalwa. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Evangelium Vitae, "IVangeli Lokuphila", n. 16

Ukuzila ukudla. Sikhala. Ukuguqulwa. Ukunakekelwa. Umkhuleko wokuncenga. Akukhona yini lokhu uMama kaNkulunkulu abekade ekuncenga ngemiyalezo yakhe kuleli khulu leminyaka elidlule? ^[9]qhathanisa Inkemba Evuthayo Ngabe ubonakale ephuza itiye nezingane zakhe, noma ebabiza ukusiza ukusiza ukubuyisa umhlaba kwalasha?

IQINISO LOKUQINISEKA NOMA LOKUQUKA?

Kunemibono eminingi ezungeza nsuku zonke yokuthi lokhu kulawulwa kwabantu sekufezeka kanjani — kusuka ku- ukukhohlisa kobuchwepheshe kwamapuleti we-tectonic, ku- ukukhululwa ngamabomu kwezifo eziwumshayabhuqe, ku- ukuqala kwempi yenuzi, ohlelweni olusobala kakhulu lokulawulwa kokuzalwa, ukukhipha isisu ngokufunwa, nokubulawa "komusa". Futhi le mibono ayiyona “kude” njengoba abantu bengacabanga, ngenxa nje yokuthi lobu buchwepheshe bukhona. ^[10]qhathanisa Izwe Liyalila Kodwa-ke, lapho iningi lalabo ababizwa ngokuthi "izazi zetulo lozungu" lihamba kabi namuhla, ukuthi banikeza isikweletu esiningi kakhulu kubantu besilisa; ukukholelwa ngokweqile enkolelweni yokuthi konke okubi okwenzekayo kuyingxenye yetulo elenziwe ngumuntu. Umbono olahlekile yi- okungokomoya eyodwa. Ngalokho, nakhu umzamo odidiyelwe — futhi ubusuneminyaka engama-2000 — nguSathane, ukubhubhisa iBandla kanye nomhlaba wonke kanye nalo. Ngaleyo ndlela, amadoda avame ukuba yizikhali zobubi, kwesinye isikhathi engaqapheli ngokugcwele okukhulu uhlelo lwamademoni babamba iqhaza.

Abamesiya abasha, ekufuneni ukuguqula isintu sibe yinhlangano enqanyuliwe kuMdali wakhe, ngokungazi bayoletha ukubhujiswa kwengxenye enkulu yesintu. Bazokhipha ama-horror angakaze abonwe: indlala, izinhlupho, izimpi, futhi ekugcineni nobulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu. Ekuqaleni bazosebenzisa ukuphoqa ukuqhubeka nokunciphisa inani labantu, bese kuthi uma lokho kwehluleka basebenzise amandla. - UMichael D. O'Brien, Ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke kanye neNew World Order, Mashi 17, 2009

Bazosebenzisa amandla, ngoba ekugcineni, iSonto lizobavimba. Yingakho siqhubeka nokubona inkululeko yenkolo yamaKristu ihlaselwa namuhla “ngezindlela ezingakaze zibonwe kusukela ezikhathini zamaNazi nezamaKhomanisi,” kusho uMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles Chaput waseDenver.

Umphakathi lapho ukukholwa kuvinjelwa ekuvezeni umphakathi ngamandla ngumphakathi osenze umbuso waba yisithixo. Futhi lapho umbuso uba yisithixo, abesilisa nabesifazane baba ngumnikelo womhlatshelo. —UMbhishobhi Omkhulu Chaput in iseshini yokuqala yochungechunge lwe-15 lweCanon Law Association yaseSlovakia, iSpisske Podhradie, iSlovakia, Agasti 24, 2010; "Ukuphila ngeqiniso: Inkululeko engokwenkolo kanye nomsebenzi wamaKatolika kuhlelo olusha lomhlaba"

Ngaphandle kokukholelwa ezimisweni zokuziphatha ezingaguquguquki namaqiniso angavamile, izinhlangano zethu zezombusazwe nolimi, uthi, ziba “amathuluzi okusiza ubuqaba obusha. Egameni lokubekezelelana siza ukubekezelela ukungabekezelelani ngonya… ”Lokhu kungabi bikho" kokuvumelana kwesimilo "kwaholela uPapa Benedict ukuba axwayise ngokuthi" ikusasa lomhlaba lisengozini. " ^[11]qhathanisa Ngosuku luka-Eva

Futhi-ke, sineSonto nomphakathi ikakhulukazi abalele kuleli qiniso, njengezintombi eziyishumi esitelekeni saphakathi kwamabili.

Njengoba umkhwenyana abambezeleka isikhathi eside, zozela zonke zalala. (Math 25: 5)

Umuntu akakwazi ukwenza ihaba ngokuba bucayi kwezikhathi zethu, ngakho-ke, inhloso yalo mbhalo ukuzamazamisa umfundi ukuthi avuke (uma elele ngempela). Singaphezulu kakhulu “kwebhizinisi njengenjwayelo.” Izikhathi zibiza ukuthi izinhliziyo zethu zilunge kuNkulunkulu futhi siphile ku isimo somusa, okungukuthi, umphefumulo olungele ukuhlangana noMdali nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Angikhulumi ngokuba yisimilo nokudinwa, ukwesaba nokwesaba; kunalokho, ukundizela ngokushesha enkululekweni yokuba yindodana nendodakazi yoPhezukonke. Kuyindlela ye- ukubalekela isono nokuheha kwezwe lokho kudonsela phansi umphefumulo. Ukukhuphukela ezweni lokukhanya nethemba nokuthula leli zwe elingenakukunika. ^[12]isib. Johane 14:27

Akufanele siphelelwe yithemba naphezu kwamaqiniso aphambi kwethu. INkosi ihlala iphethe ngokuphelele, yize kwesinye isikhathi ubumnyama kubonakala sengathi buyehlula ukukhanya. UNkulunkulu uzobeka umkhawulo ebubini, futhi empeleni alethe okuhle okukhulu kubo.

Ngisho namademoni ayahlolwa yizingilosi ezinhle hleze zilimaze kakhulu ngangawo. Ngendlela efanayo, Umphik'ukristu ngeke enze okubi kakhulu ngendlela abefisa ngayo. —USt. UThomas Aquinas, ISumma Theologica, Ingxenye I, Q.113, Ubuciko. 4

I-WISDOM

Ngenkathi uPapa Benedict engukhadinali, wakhuluma ngeSonto “ngokuncishiswa ngamanani,” futhi wasolwa ngokuba umuntu ongenathemba. Waphendula, kunalokho, wathi kwakuyinto nje “engokoqobo enempilo.” ^[13]bheka isihloko Ngekusasa LobuKristu ISonto lifundisa ukuthi kufanele sigcine umoya onempilo weqiniso, sihlale sigcina ithemba phezulu futhi amehlo ethu evulekile.

Ngokusho kweNkosi, isikhathi samanje yisikhathi sikaMoya nesokufakaza, kodwa futhi nesikhathi esisagcwele “usizi” nokulingwa kobubi okungalisindisi iSonto futhi kungenisa izingqinamba zezinsuku zokugcina. Yisikhathi sokulinda nokubuka. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 672

Njengoba uJesu akubeka, “hlakaniphani njengezinyoka, nibe lula njengamajuba. " ^[14]I-Matt 10: 16

Kulesi sikhathi samanje semininingwane esiyibiza nge-intanethi, iqiniso lizulazula eceleni kwenqwaba yezinkolelo zetulo, amanga, nenkohliso "yabaprofethi bamanga" abaningi. ^[15]qhathanisa Uzamcolo Wabaprofethi Bamanga; Mat 24:11 Esikudinga ngokweqiniso akulona ulwazi, ngayinye se, kodwa ukuhlakanipha. Ukuhlakanipha kuyisipho sikaMoya esinika ulwazi isisekelo saso, sisisize ukuthi siqonde okubalulekile, yini eyiqiniso nokuhle, nokuthi senze kanjani ngokufanele.

Umgexo wobuhlakani ukwesaba iNkosi… Ithululela ulwazi nokuqonda okuphelele… (Sirach 1:17)

Uma umboza iso lakho khona manje, bese uzama ukuthinta into, uthola ukuthi ukuqonda kwakho okujulile kuyaphazamiseka. Udinga elinye iso. Ngendlela efanayo, ulwazi alwanele. Ukuhlakanipha kusinikeza ukuqonda nokucabanga okufanelekile ukuze “sithinte” ulwazi, ukuqonda indawo yalo esithombeni esikhulu sezinto. Ngempela, abaningi namuhla bagijima bezama ukuthola ukuthi lesi siprofetho sithini noma leso siboni siyakubikezela, kepha-ke, abanakho ukuhlakanipha okubucayi okubasiza ukuba bakubone futhi bakubeke endaweni efanele.

IZINDLELA EZINTATHU ZOKUHLAKANIPHA

Kunezindlela ezintathu ngokuyinhloko esithola ngazo ukuhlakanipha. Okokuqala, kungokufanele ukwesaba iNkosi, inhlonipho engcwele Ngaye nemiyalo yaKhe:

Uma ufisa ukuhlakanipha, gcina imiyalo, futhi iNkosi izokunika yona… (Sirach 1:23)

UNkulunkulu “akajikijeli amaparele ezingulubeni”; ngakolunye uhlangothi, inhliziyo ethobekile nephendukayo izothola ukuhlakanipha. Kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwesaba uJehova okufanele ukuqala kokuhlakanipha ngoba kukhombisa ukuthi umuntu useyabona ukuthi kukhona Othile nokuthile okukhulu kunaye, ngakho-ke, impilo yakhe yonke iba seya enjongweni ayenzelwe yona. Ukuhlakanipha-ke kuza kulabo abancane abeza kuNkulunkulu njengengane, belalela lokho akushoyo ngokunembile ngoba wakusho.

Indlela yesibili yokuthola ukuhlakanipha uku cela ngakho. Angikwazi ukucabanga ngomunye umBhalo ocacile esithembisweni sawo sokunikeza i- ethize isipho uma sisicela nje:

… Uma kukhona kini oswele ukuhlakanipha, kufanele acele kuNkulunkulu onika bonke ngesandla esivulekile nangokungabazeki, futhi uzonikezwa. Kodwa kufanele acele ngokukholwa, angangabazi, ngoba lowo ongabazayo unjengegagasi lolwandle eliqhutshwa liqhutshwa ngumoya. Ngoba lowo muntu angacabangi ukuthi uzakwamukela utho eNkosini… (Jakobe 1: 5-7)

Le ndatshana ihloselwe ukugcizelela i- ukuphuthuma in uzinikezela kuJesu ngoMariya. Ngalokhu kuphathiswa, i Umama Wenhlakanipho izosiza futhi ukuletha lesi sipho esihlakaniphile esinobuhlakani esidingeka kakhulu kulezi zinsuku ezineziyaluyalu. Ngoba ekungeneni esikoleni sikaMary, sifunda izimfihlo zeNhliziyo yeNdodana yakhe eyathola inyama yayo eshaya enyameni yayo, igazi layo egazini layo. Kepha naye uthole kuYe “ukugcwala komusa” ukuze akwazi ukunakekela izingane zakhe esifubeni Sokuhlakanipha.

Ukuphenduka esonweni, ukuthandazela ukuhlakanipha nsuku zonke, nokuzinikezela kuMariya — izinyathelo ezintathu zokhonkolo ongazithatha ukulungiselela lezi zikhathi.
