Uyahlanya!

nguShawn Van Deale

 

LAPHO alikho elinye igama lokuchaza okwenzekayo emhlabeni wethu namuhla: ukuhlanya. Ukuhlanya okuphelele. Ake sibize okade, noma njengoba uSt. Paul esho,

Ungabambi iqhaza emisebenzini yobumnyama engenazithelo; kunalokho ubadalule… (Efe 5:11)

… Noma njengoba uSt. John Paul II asho ngokusobala:

Ngokunikwa isimo esinzima kangako, manje sidinga kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili ukuba nesibindi sokubheka iqiniso emehlweni nokubiza izinto ngegama lazo, ngaphandle kokuvumela ukuyekethisa okulula noma isilingo sokuzikhohlisa. Mayelana nalokhu, isihlamba soMprofethi siqonde kakhulu: “Maye kulabo abathi okubi okuhle nokuhle okubi, ababeka ubumnyama esikhundleni sokukhanya nokukhanya esikhundleni sobumnyama” (Is 5:20). —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Evangelium Vitae, "IVangeli Lokuphila", n. 58

 

NGAPHAKATHI KWESIPhepho SOBUDLOVA…

Cishe njalo emavikini ambalwa manje, kuvela izindaba ezixwayisa ngokuthi i-AI noma "ubuhlakani bokufakelwa" busongela ikusasa lesintu. Ososayensi, njengoStephen Hawking owaziwayo, baxwayisa ukuthi isintu sisengozini yokubhujiswa yi-AI "ezimele". ^[1]ingomalayebhe Kepha akufani nokuthi “imishini emisha” iyahluma njengokhula: umuntu uyazidala yena.

Uyahlanya!

• Ngenkathi izinga lokungasebenzi landa emhlabeni wonke futhi osopolitiki bethembisa "imisebenzi, imisebenzi, imisebenzi", amarobhothi ayaqhubeka nokususa abasebenzi. Ososayensi babikezela ukuthi abathengisi, abapheki, onobuhle, izinsizakalo zokulethwa kwemisebenzi neminye imisebenzi “ephindaphindwayo” izothathelwa indawo amarobhothi maduze nje, okulingana nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi “yiNguquko Yesine Yezimboni.” ^[2]ozimele.co.uk

Kungaba nzima ukukholelwa, kodwa ngaphambi kokuphela kwaleli khulu leminyaka, amaphesenti angama-70 emisebenzi yanamuhla nayo izothathelwa indawo yimishini ezisebenzelayo. -Kevin Kelly, Wired, I-December 24th, i-2012

AmaShayina kuthiwa 'abeka isisekelo senguquko ngamarobhothi ngokuhlela ukwenza umsebenzi owenziwa manje yizigidi zabasebenzi abahola kancane.' ^[3]mashable.com Ngubuhlanya. Iqembu elinesibindi lezazi zezibalo, izazi zefilosofi nososayensi e-Oxford University baxwayisile:

Kunomjaho omkhulu phakathi kwamandla wobuchwepheshe besintu nokuhlakanipha kwethu kokusebenzisa lawo mandla kahle. Ngikhathazekile ngokuthi owokuqala uzodonsela phambili kakhulu. -Nick Bostrom, Ikusasa le-Humanity Institute, naturalnews.com

Kanjalo no-Emeritus Pope Benedict.

Uma uNkulunkulu nezindinganiso zokuziphatha, umehluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi, ehlala ebumnyameni, khona-ke zonke ezinye “izibani” ezibeka lezi zindlela zobuchwepheshe ezingakholeki, aziyona inqubekela phambili kuphela kodwa futhi ziyizingozi ezibeka thina nezwe engcupheni. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, u-Easter Vigil Homily, ngomhlaka-7 Ephreli 2012

• Ososayensi baseBrithani banikezwe imvume ngumlawuli wezwe wokuzala ukuthi shintsha ngokwezakhi zofuzo “Ishiye” imibungu yabantu 'ukuze ibone ukuthi ingabe ithikameza intuthuko.' ^[4]telegraph.co.uk “Imibungu” ayiwona amaqoqo amangqamuzana, kodwa izingane ezincane ezingakakhuli. Abaphenyi ngeke bahlole i-shampoo onogwaja, kepha ukubhubhisa impilo yomuntu "egameni lesayensi" manje "kuyinto yokuziphatha."

Uyahlanya!

• Ngaphesheya kolwandle, i-World Health Organisation ikhiphe isimo esiphuthumayo sempilo yomphakathi esichaza igciwane le-Zika, kanye nezinkinga ezisolwayo ezinganeni ezisanda kuzalwa, 'njengesimo esiphuthumayo sezempilo somphakathi esikhathaza umhlaba wonke.' ^[5]washingtonpost.com Livelaphi leli gciwane manje “eliqhuma” kuwo wonke amazwe aseMelika, okusolwa ukuthi lidale ukulimala kobuchopho ezinganeni? Omiyane abashintshwe izakhi zofuzo, ededelwe eBrazil ukulwa neDengue Fever, bangabanye babasolwa. Noma ngabe kunjalo noma cha, ngemuva kwezinkulungwane ngezinkulungwane zeminyaka yokuziphendukela kwemvelo ezinhlotsheni zezinto eziphilayo, kubonakala sengathi umuntu ucabanga ukuthi angaxhumana nabo ngokungazelelwe ngokuthanda kwakhe — bese ebadedisela emvelweni ngeminwe ehlanganisiwe.

Ngobuhlanya!

Mhlawumbe UProfesa Hugo de Garis, umklami wobuchopho wokufakelwa, ufingqa kahle i-zeitgeist yamanje yokulinga okunganaki kwesayensi okwenzeka kubantu:

Ithemba lokwakha izidalwa ezinjengezikaNkulunkulu lingigcwalisa ngomuzwa wokwesaba okungokwenkolo okuya ekujuleni komphefumulo wami futhi kungikhuthaze ngamandla ukuba ngiqhubeke, yize kunemiphumela emibi ebabekayo. - IzA. UHugo de Garis, tomhuston.com

• Esifundazweni sase-Alberta, eCanada — esake sabhekwa njengesinye sezifunda ezisadla ngoludala ezweni — imihlahlandlela emisha ekhishwe uhulumeni omusha (i-NDP) iyabadikibalisa othisha ekusebenziseni amagama athi “mama” kanye no “baba” futhi kunalokho batshelwa ukuthi basebenzise “Umzali,” “umnakekeli,” noma “umlingani.” Izingane zesikole samabanga aphansi ezineminyaka emihlanu neminyaka eyisithupha ubudala zikhuthazwa ukuthi "zizikhombe" njengabobulili obuhlukile. Kanjani kahle? Ngokweziqondiso ezintsha,

Abanye abantu bangazizwa bengekho ekusetshenzisweni kwesabizwana esithi “yena” noma “yena” futhi bangakhetha ezinye izabizwana, ezifana ne- “ze,” “zir,” “hir,” “bona” noma “bona,” noma bangafisa ukuzikhulumela noma ukuzikhomba ngezinye izindlela. —CitizenGo.com, Februwari 1, 2016

Ngaphezu kwalokho, imihlahlandlela iyaqhubeka ukuvumela izingane ukuthi zijoyine amaqembu ezemidlalo lokho 'bakhombise ubunjalo babo nobulili,' ngisho nokungena ezindlini zokugezela, emashaweni nasemakamelweni okushintshela owobulili obuhlukile. Uma for isibonelo, njengoba ICitizenGo iyabika, intombazane iyenqaba ukuba nomuntu owesilisa ongokwemvelo oguqukayo nabo, yiyona intombazane ngubani okufanele ahambe. 'Umfundi ophikisana nokuhlanganyela ekamelweni lokuwasha noma ekamelweni lokushintshela nomfundi odlulayo noma onobulili obuhlukile unikezwa enye indawo.' Ngokumangazayo, lezi ziqondiso kubikwa ukuthi zivumela “abantu abadala… ukushintsha nokugeza nezingane ezincane zobulili obuhlukile.” 'Amalungu omndeni ayakwazi ukungena ezindlini zokuwasha ezihambisana nobulili babo.' Futhi nangu umkhabi: uhulumeni we-NDP usabise ngokuqeda noma yiliphi ibhodi lesikole eliphikisana nenqubomgomo entsha, engakhiphi zikhululelo ezikoleni ezizimele, ezenkolo noma zomthetho. Omunye uMbhishobhi wase-Alberta, uMfu omkhulu Fred Henry, uphendule wathi:

Izinhlobo ezimbili zokukhohlisa zivimbela ukufezeka kwanoma yiluphi uhlelo njengesizwe, okungukuthi, i- ubuhlanya yobumbano kanye ne ubuhlanya yamandla njengombono we-monolithic. —UMbhishobhi Fred Henry waseCalgary, AB, Januwari 13, 2016; khalolugabhadi.ca

• Okwamanje, njengoba ohulumeni njengalokhu okukhulunywe ngabo ngenhla bephoqelela ama-ajenda abo alungile kwezepolitiki akhuthaza ukuhlola kwezocansi kwabancane nabancane, ukuhlobana phakathi kwezithombe zocansi kanye ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi iyanda. Ngo-2015 kuphela, ngaphezu kwama-87 Izigidigidi amavidiyo obulili abukwa kwiwebhusayithi eyodwa kuphela — okulingana namavidiyo ayi-12 awo wonke umuntu emhlabeni. ^[6]LifeSiteNews.com Ucwaningo olusha olushicilelwe yi Journal of Communication waphetha:

Ukuhlaziywa kwemeta kwezifundo zokuhlola kuthole imiphumela ekuziphatheni okunolaka nangendlela yokuziphatha. Ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezithombe zobulili ezingcolile kuhambisana nezimo ezinolaka ezifundweni zemvelo nakho kutholakele…. Izifundo ezingama-22 ezivela emazweni ahlukene ayi-7 zahlaziywa. Ukusetshenziswa kwakuhlotshaniswa nokuhlukunyezwa ngokobulili e-United States nakwamanye amazwe, phakathi kwabesilisa nabesifazane, nasezifundweni ezihamba phambili nezikude. Izinhlangano zaziqine ngokwamazwi kunokuhlukumeza ngokocansi, yize zombili zazibalulekile. - "I-Meta-Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Act of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies", Disemba 29, 2015; LifeSiteNews.com

Futhi nokho, “imfundo yezocansi” ecacile iyakhula. Ukuhlanya okwengeziwe.

• Uphenyo olwenziwa ngasese e-United States lwathola ukuthi iPlanned Parenthood yayithengisa ngokungemthetho izitho zomzimba zezingane ezikhishwe izisu. Kodwa-ke, iGrand Jury eHarris County eTexas yanquma hhayi kuphela hhayi afake amacala abhekene nePlanned Parenthood, kodwa esikhundleni salokho, abeka abaphenyi icala "ngokusebenzisa ukuhlonza okungamanga nokuzama ukuthenga izitho zomzimba womuntu." ^[7]LifeSiteNews.com Lokhu akuyona nje into exakile — kunjalo uhlanya.

• Mhlawumbe umsangano omkhulu kunayo yonke ngaleli hora ukuthi ngenkathi ohulumeni baseNtshonalanga beqhubeka nokuqeda inkululeko egameni lempi "esabekayo yokwesaba", bavulela umnyango ongemuva ku izigidi kwabokufika abangamaSulumane abavela eMiddle East. ^[8]qhathanisa Inkinga Yenkinga Yababaleki Yize umuntu engeke angazinaki izinto ezisiza ababaleki beqiniso, ubukhona bamaSulumane athile, avumile obala ukuthi ahamba igagasi lokufuduka ukuze amemezele iJihad in abaseNtshonalanga, kufanele basuse izinsimbi zokukhala. Ngenkathi ohulumeni baseNtshonalanga bewa bodwa ukuze bamukele futhi bamukele ubuSulumane, ngasikhathi sinye-njengoba nje sifunde ngenhla - bememezela impi ngezindinganiso zobuKristu. Uyazi ukuthi kungubuhlanya lapho abantu abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu njengoRichard Dawkins bephakamisa ubuKrestu.

Awekho amaKristu, ngokwazi kwami, aqhumisa izakhiwo. Angazi noma ngubani ongumKristu ozibulala ngamabhomu. Angazi noma iyiphi inkolo enkulu yobuKristu ekholelwa ukuthi isijeziso sokuhlubuka ukufa. Nginemizwa exubile ngokuncipha kobuKristu, kuze kufike lapho ubuKristu bungaba yisivikelo kokubi kakhulu. -The Times (ukuphawula kusukela ngo-2010); ishicilelwe kabusha ngo- Brietbart.com, Januwari 12, 2016

Kufika engqondweni kaKhadinali Ratzinger:

U-Abrahama, ubaba wokholo, kungokholo lwakhe idwala elibamba izinxushunxushu, isikhukhula esidala sokubhujiswa, ngakho-ke sigcina indalo. USimon, owokuqala ukuvuma ukuthi uJesu unguKristu… manje uba ngenxa yokholo luka-Abrahama, olwenziwa lube musha kuKristu, idwala elimelene negagasi elingcolile lokungakholwa nokubhujiswa kwalo komuntu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), Sibizelwe eSidlweni, Ukuqonda iSonto Namuhla, Adrian Walker, Tr., K. 55-56

Okungukuthi, ubuhlanya obusizungezile akusona isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu njengoba kuyintando Yakhe eyekelelayo yokuvumela ukwaliwa kobuKristu emhlabeni wonke ukuvuna imiphumela yako ngokugcwele. Njengoba uSt. Paul asho, kuKristu, “Zonke izinto zibambene.” ^[9]Col 1: 17 Uma sisusa uKristu emindenini yethu, emadolobheni, nasezizweni, zonke izinto ziqala ukwehluka. Ngakho-ke, ubuhlanya obuvela ngokusobala kulelihora kumane nje kuyisithelo sesizukulwane esibonakala samukele amanga okuthi siyizinhlayiya ezivele zavela ngokungenamkhawulo ngaphandle komoya; ukuthi ukuphila nokufa manje kumane kuyinketho; ukuthi ubulili bethu bemvelo buhlukile kubulili; leyo nkolo iyisikhubekiso — idwala okufanele lisuswe. Futhi-ke, amagagasi angcolile okungakholwa kanye nokubhujiswa komuntu kuzobonakala ngathi kuphezu kwethu. Kepha hhayi unomphela. Njengoba Abusisiwe u-Anna Maria Taigi wake wabikezela:

UNkulunkulu uzothumela izijeziso ezimbili: eyodwa izoba sesimweni sezimpi, ukuvukelwa, nobunye ububi; kuyakusuka emhlabeni. Enye izothunyelwa ivela ezulwini. -Isiprofetho samaKatolika, Ikhasi 76

UKUVUKELA PHEZU KOKUFA KOMOYA

Inceku kaNkulunkulu uCatherine de Hueck Doherty wake wabhalela uThomas Merton:

Ngesizathu esithile ngicabanga ukuthi ukhathele. Ngiyazi ukuthi nami ngiyesaba futhi ngikhathele. Ngoba ubuso beNkosana Yobumnyama buyacaca futhi bucace kimi. Kubukeka sengathi akasenandaba nokuhlala "engaziwa kakhulu," "incognito," "wonke umuntu." Kubonakala sengathi ungene kwezakhe futhi uzibonakalisa kulo lonke iqiniso lakhe elibuhlungu. Bambalwa-ke abakholelwa ebukhoneni bakhe angabe esadinga ukuzifihla! -Umlilo Onobubele, Izincwadi zikaThomas Merton noCatherine de Hueck Doherty, Mashi 17, 1962, Ave Maria Press, k. 60

Kepha bafowethu nodadewethu, uma siqhubeka nokugxila kulo msangano, uma sikhathazeka futhi sijuluka ngakho, sizibeka engcupheni yokubanjwa isivunguvungu. ngiyazi Impendulo kaCatherine Doherty kokwesaba kwakhe kwaba ukungena emthandazweni wedwa. Kwakungukusondela kuJesu kumaSakramente, nokukhasa ngaphansi kwengubo kaNkosikazi Wethu. Ngoba Uthando oluphelele luxosha ukwesaba. ” ^[10]I-1 John 4: 18

Bengilokhu ngicabanga kaningi kamuva nje ngowesifazane engikhulume ngaye ngo-2014 ku Isihogo Siyadedelwa. Ngokubheka emuva, imininingwane ayinikezwe ikhombisa ukuthi iyiqiniso. Umama wakhe wangibhalela ngaleso sikhathi ethi:

Indodakazi yami endala ibona izinto eziningi, ezinhle nezimbi [izingelosi], empini. Ukhulume kaningi ngokuthi impi yayo iphuma kanjani nokuthi iba nkulu kuphela nezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezidalwa. UMama wethu uvele kuye ephusheni ngonyaka odlule njengoMama wethu waseGuadalupe. Wamtshela lokho idimoni elizayo likhulu futhi linolaka kunabo bonke abanye. Ukuthi akufanele ahlanganyele naleli dimoni noma alilalele. Kwakuzozama ukuthatha umhlaba. Leli yidimoni lika ukwesaba. Kwakungokwesaba ukuthi indodakazi yami yathi izogubuzela wonke umuntu nakho konke. Ukuhlala eduze kwamaSakramente noJesu noMariya kubaluleke kakhulu.

Ngokwami, bekunzima kakhulu ukukubhalela ngonyaka odlule. Ukucindezelwa okungokomoya engihlangabezana nakho akufani nanoma yini engake ngabhekana nayo ngaphambili. Umqondisi wami wezomoya uvame ukungikhumbuza ukuthi iNkosi iyazivumela lezi zilingo ukuze nami ngikwazi siza abanye ngazo. Uma kunjalo, ngakho-ke ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ngizokwabelana nawe ngezinto engizifundayo nami.

 

KONKE KWEHLELA KULO ...

Ekuphetheni, sifikelwa ngamazwi kaSt.

… Ukunqoba okunqoba umhlaba ukukholwa kwethu. (1 Johane 5: 4)

Isisekelo sokuqhubekela phambili kusuka kuleli phuzu kuqhubeke, ungene ekujuleni kwe- Isivunguvungu Esikhulu lokho kuzuza amandla, ngu ukholo. Ukholo lokuthi uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda. Ukukholwa ukuthi ukhona kuxolelwe. Ukholo lokuthi Akasoze akukhohlwa. Ukholo lokuthi ukukhathazeka nokukhathazeka akuyona impendulo. Ukukholwa ukuthi lapho ukucwayiza kwalokhu kuphila sekudlulile, uzoba Naye ingunaphakade. Yingakho iZulu lihlelile, ngaleli hora, umyalezo we-Divine Mercy owawunikezwe uSt. Faustina. Kubekwe ngamagama amancane amahlanu ukukuhambisa kulesi Siphepho: Jesu, Ngiyethemba Kuwe. Uma kungekho okunye, thandaza la mazwi kaningi, kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka, kuze kube yilapho lo mthandazo uba umhlatshelo oqhubekayo wokuthembela nokudumisa ezindebeni zakho.

Ngaye-ke masinikele njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu umhlatshelo wokubonga, okungukuthi, isithelo sezindebe ezivuma igama lakhe. (Heb 13:15)

Ngisesikhathini sokuhlehla ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezilandelayo. Ngikhulekele, njengoba nami ngizokuthanda. Futhi ngiyabonga kuwo wonke umuntu ngezincwadi ezesabekayo nezishukumisayo zokusekela kule nyanga edlule, kanye neminikelo yenu engivumela ukuba ngizinikele kulo mphostoli.

Uyangisiza ngemikhuleko yakho. UNkulunkulu uyakuthanda.

 

Nyusa ivolumu, uthandaze nami!

Izinga lokushintshaniswa laseCanada likwelinye izinga eliphansi ngokomlando. Kuwo wonke amadola owanikela kule nkonzo ngalesi sikhathi, ingeza cishe amanye ama- $ .40 emnikelweni wakho. Ngakho-ke umnikelo ongu- $ 100 uba cishe ama- $ 140 eCanada. Ungayisiza kakhulu inkonzo yethu ngokunikela ngalesi sikhathi.
