Ukukhulelwa Okungenacala, nguGiovanni Battista Tiepolo (1767)
INI ushilo? Lowo nguMariya the isiphephelo uNkulunkulu asinikeza sona kulezi zikhathi? [1]qhathanisa Ukuhlwithwa, ubuqhinga, nesiphephelo
Kuzwakala njengokuhlubuka, akunjalo. Ngemuva kwakho konke, uJesu akasiye isiphephelo sethu? Akayena yini “umlamuleli” phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu? Akusilo igama laKhe kuphela esisindiswa ngalo? Akayena uMsindisi womhlaba? Yebo, konke lokhu kuyiqiniso. Kepha Kanjani uMsindisi ufisa ukusisindisa kuyinto ehluke ngokuphelele. Kanjani ubuhle beSiphambano busetshenzisiwe yindaba eyindida ngokuphelele, enhle, neyesabekayo. Kungaphakathi kwalolu hlelo lokusebenza lokuhlengwa kwethu lapho uMariya ethola khona indawo yakhe njengomqhele wohlelo lukaNkulunkulu olukhuluhlengweni, ngemuva kweNkosi yethu uqobo.
UMSEBENZI OMKHULU NGOMARIYA
Umuzwa wamaKrestu amaningi amaVangeli ngukuthi amaKhatholika awagcini nje ngokwenza isivumelwano esikhulu kakhulu ngoMariya, kepha abanye bakholelwa ukuthi siyamkhulekela. Futhi kufanele sivume, kwesinye isikhathi, amaKatolika abonakala enaka kakhulu uMariya kuneNdodana yakhe. UPope Francis naye uveza isidingo sokulinganisela okufanele uma kukhulunywa ngezindaba zokholo lwethu ukuze sing…
… Kukhulunywa kakhulu ngomthetho kungesomusa, kukhulunywa kakhulu ngeSonto kunoKristu, kukhulunywa kakhulu ngoPapa kunezwi likaNkulunkulu. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 38
Noma okuningi ngoMariya kunoJesu, uma kukhulunywa nje. Kepha futhi kungahamba ngenye indlela, ukuthi ukubaluleka kwalona wesifazane kwehliswa kabi. Ngoba uMariya udaba olukhulu njengoba iNkosi yethu imenza.
UMary uvame ukubonwa ngabashumayeli bevangeli njengomunye nje umuntu weTestamente Elisha othi, nakuba enelungelo lokuzala uJesu, angabe esabaluleka ngaphezu kokuzalwa yintombi. Kepha lokhu ukunganaki hhayi kuphela uphawu olunamandla kepha ukusebenza kwangempela koMama 
kaMariya — yena ngubani…
… Umsebenzi wobungcweti womsebenzi weNdodana noMoya esikhathini esiphelele. -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), hhayi. 721
Kungani 'eyingcweti yomsebenzi' kaNkulunkulu? Ngoba uMary uyi uhlobo futhi isithombe leBandla uqobo lwalo, okunguMlobokazi kaKristu.
Kuyena sibheka lokho iSonto eliyikho emfihlakalweni yakhe “ngohambo lokholo” lwakhe, nokuthi uyoba yini ezweni lakhe lokugcina ekupheleni kohambo lwakhe. -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), hhayi. 972
Umuntu angasho ukuthi uyena incarnation weSonto ngokwalo njengoba umuntu wakhe aba "yisakramente losindiso" elingokoqobo Ngoba ngaye uMsindisi weza emhlabeni. Ngendlela efanayo, kungenxa yeSonto lapho uJesu eza kithi kumaSakramente.
Ngakho [uMariya] “uyilungu eliqavile futhi… eliyingqayizivele ngokuphelele leSonto”; impela, “uyisibonelo sokwazi” (typus) seBandla. -CCC, hhayi. 967
Kepha futhi, ungaphezu kwesithonjana salokho iBandla eliyikho, nalokho elizokuba yikho; unjalo, njengoba kunjalo, a parallel isitsha somusa, esebenza eceleni kanye neBandla. Umuntu angasho ukuthi, uma iSonto "lesikhungo" lihambisa isakramente umusa, uMama wethu, ngendima yakhe yokuba ngumama kanye nomlamuleli, usebenza njengomsabalalisi we onekhono umusa.
Izici zesikhungo nezesisa zibaluleke kakhulu njengoba zibalulekile kumthethosisekelo weSonto. Banikela, yize kwehlukile, empilweni, ekuvuseleleni nasekungcwelisweni kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, I-L'Osservatore Romano, Juni 3, 1998; iphinde yashicilelwa Ukuphuthuma Kokuvangela Okusha: Ukuphendula Ucingo, nguRalph Martin, k. 41
Ngithi uMary "ungumsabalalisi" noma, lokho iCatechism ekubiza ngokuthi "Mediatrix" [2]qhathanisa CCC, hhayi. 969 yalezi zinsiza, impela ngenxa yokuba ngumama kwakhe abelwe nguKristu ngokuhlangana kwakhe noMoya oNgcwele. [3]isib. Johane 19:26 Ngokwakhe, uMary uyisidalwa. Kepha uhlanganiswe noMoya, yena “ogcwele umusa” [4]isib. ULuka 1:28 ine 
ube ngumhlinzeki ongenacala ongenacala, okuyisona esivelele kunazo zonke isipho seNdodana yakhe, iNkosi noMsindisi Wethu. Ngakho-ke ngenkathi umusa "wesakramente" ufika kwabathembekile ngobupristi besakramente, uPapa ayinhloko yabo evelele emva kukaKristu, umusa "okholisayo" uvela ngobupristi obuyimfihlakalo, uMariya ayinhloko eyinhloko emva kukaKristu . Ungowokuqala "onomusa", ungasho! UMary wayekhona, ekhulumela iSonto lezinsana ngePhentekoste.
Ukunyuselwa ezulwini akazange abeke eceleni leli hhovisi lokusindisa kepha ngokuncenga kwakhe okuningana kuqhubeka nokusilethela izipho zensindiso yaphakade. -CCC, hhayi. 969
Ngakho-ke, uma uMariya ewuhlobo lweSonto, kanti iMagisterium ifundisa ukuthi “ISonto kulo mhlaba liyisakramente lensindiso, liyisibonakaliso nethuluzi lokuhlangana kukaNkulunkulu nabantu,” [5]Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 780 lapho-ke singasho futhi ukuthi uMama Obusisiwe uyi- isakramente lensindiso ngendlela ekhethekile futhi eyedwa. Naye futhi "uyisibonakaliso nethuluzi lobudlelwano bukaNkulunkulu nabantu." Uma uPapa eyi ebonakalayo uphawu lobunye beSonto, [6]CCC, 882 UMary yilokho engabonakali noma uphawu olwedlulele lobunye 'njengomama wabo bonke abantu.'
Ubumbano yingqikithi yeSonto: 'Imfihlakalo emangalisa kangaka! Munye uYise wendawo yonke, munye uLogos wendawo yonke, futhi noMoya oNgcwele munye, yonke indawo kukhona okufanayo; kunentombi eyodwa eye yaba ngumama, futhi kufanele ngithande ukuyibiza ngokuthi “iSonto.” ' —USt. UClement wase-Alexandria, bheka. CCC, hhayi. 813
KUSEBHAYIBHELINI
Futhi, ubufandamentali obenze umonakalo ngempela kula maqiniso ngoMariya nangeSonto uqobo. Kuma-fundamentalist, akunakubakho nkazimulo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ngokwethu yokukhulekela kaNkulunkulu yedwa: uYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele. Kepha ungawakholelwa amanga okuthi uNkulunkulu akahlanganyeli inkazimulo yaKhe neBandla, okungukuthi, ukusebenza kwamandla Akhe okusindisa — futhi ngokukhululekile ngaleso sikhathi. Ngoba njengoba uSt. Paul wabhala, singabantwana boPhezukonke. Futhi…
… Uma singabantwana, siyizindlalifa futhi, izindlalifa zikaNkulunkulu nezindlalifa ezikanye noKristu, uma nje sihlupheka kanye naye ukuze sikhazinyuliswe kanye naye. (Rom 8:17)
Futhi ngubani owahlupheka ngaphezu kukanina waKhe “inkemba eyomgwaza”? [7]ULuka 2: 35
AmaKristu okuqala aqala ukuqonda ukuthi iNcasakazi uMariya “yayingu-Eva omusha” incwadi kaGenesise eyambiza ngokuthi “umama wabo bonke abaphilayo.” [8]isib. UGenesise 3:20 Njengoba uSt. U-Irenaeus asho, “Ngokulalela waba yimbangela yensindiso yakhe kanye neyaso sonke isintu,” ekuqedeni ukungalaleli kuka-Eva. Ngakho-ke, babiza uMariya ngesiqu esisha: “uMama wabaphilayo” futhi babevame ukuthi: “Ukufa ngo-Eva, nokuphila ngoMariya.” [9]Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 494
Futhi, akukho kulokhu okunganaki noma okusibekela iqiniso eliyisisekelo lokuthi uZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele ungumthombo oyinhloko wawo wonke uMariya, futhi impela, ukubamba iqhaza lonke kweSonto emsebenzini wokusindisa kaKristu. [10]bheka CCC, hhayi. 970 Ngakho-ke "Impilo ngoMariya," yebo, kepha impilo esikhuluma ngayo yiyo impilo kaJesu Kristu. UMary-ke ubambe iqhaza elikhulu ekuletheni lempilo emhlabeni. Nathi sinjalo.
Isibonelo, uSt. Paul ubeka umsebenzi wakhe njengombhishobhi weSonto "ngumama" othile:
Bantwana bami, engibuye ngiphange ngenxa yabo, aze uKristu abunjwe kini. (Gal 4:19)
Ngempela, iSonto livame ukubizwa “ngeSonto Lomama” ngenxa yeqhaza lakhe njengomama ngokomoya. Lawa magama akumele asimangaze, ngoba uMary neSonto bayisibuko somunye nomunye, yingakho-ke behlanganyela “kumama” wokuletha “wonke uKristu” -UChristus totus—emhlabeni. Ngakho-ke sifunda nokuthi:
... udrako wamthukuthelela owesifazane, wahamba wayokulwa inzalo yakhe yonke, labo abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu futhi bafakaza ngoJesu. (IsAm 12:17)
Futhi kuzokumangaza-ke ukuthi bobabili uMary neSonto bahlanganyela ekuchobozeni ikhanda likaSathane — hhayi uJesu kuphela?
Ngizobeka ubutha phakathi kwakho [Sathane] nowesifazane… yena uyakukuchoboza ikhanda lakho… Bheka, ngikunike amandla 'okunyathela izinyoka' nawofezela nasebandleni lonke lesitha futhi akukho lutho oluzokulimaza. (UGen 3:15 kusuka esiLatin; uLuka 10:19)
Ngingaqhubeka neminye imiBhalo, kepha sengikumboze okuningi kwalowo mhlaba (bheka Ukufunda Okuhlobene ngezansi). Inhloso enkulu lapha ukuqonda ukuthi kungani uMary the isiphephelo. Impendulo ingukuthi kanjalo neBandla. Izibuko ezimbili ziyabonisana.
ISIPHEPHELO
Kungani-ke uMama Obusisiwe amemezela kuFatima ukuthi i-Immaculate Heart yakhe isiphephelo sethu? Ngoba uzibuko, endimeni yakhe uqobo, ukuthi liyini iSonto kubumama bakhe: isiphephelo nedwala. ISonto liyisiphephelo sethu ngoba, okokuqala, kulo sithola ukugcwala kweqiniso okungenaphutha. Inguquko kanye nomeluleki wezepolitiki waseMelika, uCharlie Johnston, uqaphele:
Ngenkathi ngise-RCIA, ngafunda ngokuzimisela - eqinisweni, emasontweni okuqala, ngizama ukuthola "ukubanjwa" kobuKatolika. Ngifunde cishe izincwadi ezingama-30 eziminyene zemfundiso yenkolo kanye nama-encyclicals kanye nobaba beSonto ezinsukwini ezingaphezu kwezingama-30 kulo mzamo. Ngikhumbula umuzwa wami wokumangala kwangempela ukuthola ukuthi, noma kunamadoda athile ayedabukisa kakhulu ngezikhathi ezithile ephethe isikhundla sikaPapa, eminyakeni engama-2000 kwakungekho kuphikisana kwezimfundiso. Ngisebenze kwezepolitiki - angikwazi ukuqamba inhlangano enkulu ebihambe iminyaka eyi-10 ngaphandle kokuphikisana okukhulu. Lokho kwakuyisibonakaliso esinamandla kimi sokuthi ngempela lesi kwakuyisitsha sikaKristu, hhayi esomuntu.
Hhayi iqiniso kuphela, kepha neSonto lamaKhatholika sithola umusa wokungcweliswa kuBhaphathizo, intethelelo kuVuma, uMoya oNgcwele kuQinisekiso, ukwelashwa ekuGcotshweni, kanye nokuhlangana okuqhubekayo kukaJesu Kristu kuMthendeleko. UMary, njengoMama wethu, uhlala njalo esihola ngendlela esondelene, yomuntu siqu, futhi engaqondakali eya kuYe oyiNdlela, neQiniso nokuPhila.
Kodwa kungani uMama Wethu engashongo Inhliziyo yakhe futhi iSonto kufanele libe yisiphephelo sethu kulezi zikhathi? Ngoba iSonto kuleli khulu leminyaka elidlule selokhu labonakala ku-1917 libhekane nobunzima obubi. Ukholo lunalo 
ilahlekile ezindaweni eziningi. "Intuthu kaSathane" ingene eSontweni, kusho uPaul VI. Iphutha, ukuhlubuka, kanye ukudideka zisakazeke yonke indawo. Kodwa okuxakayo ukuthi kukho konke lokhu — futhi lokhu kungukuvota okuzimele kuphela — ngihlangane nezinkulungwane zamaKhatholika kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika, futhi ngithola ukuthi phakathi kwemiphefumulo ezinikele ngempela kuMariya, iningi labo ethembekile izinceku zikaKristu, iSonto Lakhe, nezimfundiso zalo. Kungani? Ngoba uMama wethu uyisiphephelo esivikela futhi siholele izingane zakhe eQinisweni futhi sizisize zijulise uthando lwazo ngoKristu Jesu. Ngikwazi lokhu ngokuhlangenwe nakho. Angikaze ngithande uJesu ukwedlula lapho ngiye ngathanda lo Mama.
UMama wethu futhi uyisiphephelo sethu kulezi zikhathi ngokunembile ngoba iSonto lizoshushiswa kabuhlungu emhlabeni wonke — futhi liyaqhubeka eMiddle East. Uma engekho amaSakramente, uma zingekho izakhiwo ongathandazela kuzo, lapho kunzima ukuthola abapristi… yena kuzoba yisiphephelo sethu. Ngokunjalo, ngenkathi abaPhostoli behlakazekile futhi bephazamisekile, kwakungeyena yini owokuqala wama waqina ngaphansi kwesiphambano uJohn noMary Magdalene abasondela kuye? Uzophinde abe yisiphephelo ngaphansi kwesifiso seSonto. Yena, iSonto futhi elibiza ngokuthi “umphongolo wesivumelwano”, [11]CCC, hhayi. 2676 sizophinde sibe ngumphongolo wethu wokuphepha.
Kepha kuphela ukuze usithumele ngomkhumbi Isiphephelo Esikhulu Nesikhumulo Esiphephile zothando lukaKristu nesihe.
