Kungani uMariya…?

IMadonna yamaRoses (1903), ngu-William-Adolphe Bouguereau

 

Ukubuka ikhampasi yokuziphatha yaseCanada ilahlekelwa yinaliti, isikwele somphakathi saseMelika siphelelwa ukuthula, futhi ezinye izingxenye zomhlaba zilahlekelwa ukulingana njengoba imimoya yesiphepho iqhubeka nokuthatha ijubane… umcabango wokuqala osenhliziyweni yami namhlanje ekuseni njengo ukhiye ukufinyelela kulezi zikhathi “iRosari. ” Kepha lokho akusho lutho kumuntu ongenakho ukuqonda okufanelekile kweBhayibheli 'kowesifazane ogqoke ilanga' Ngemuva kokufunda lokhu, mina nomkami sifuna ukunikeza isipho kubo bonke abafundi bethu…

 

LAPHO umhlaba udangala ngaphansi kwezinguquko ezinkulu ezimeni zawo zezulu, ukuzinza komnotho, kanye nezinguquko ezikhulayo, isilingo sabanye kuzoba ukuphelelwa yithemba. Ukuzizwa sengathi umhlaba awusalawuleki. Ngandlela thile kunjalo, kodwa kuphela ngezinga uNkulunkulu asivumele ngalo, kuze kufike ezingeni, imvamisa, lokuvuna ngqo lokho esikuhlwanyelile. UNkulunkulu unecebo. Futhi njengoba uJohn Paul II asho lapho ethi "sibhekene nengxabano yokugcina phakathi kweSonto nabamelene neBandla…" wanezela:

Lokhu kungqubuzana kuphakathi kwezinhlelo zokuhlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), e-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA; Agasti 13, 1976 ^[1]“Manje sesibhekene nengxabano yokugcina phakathi kweSonto nabamelene neBandla, kweVangeli kuqhathaniswa ne-anti-Gospel. Lokhu kungqubuzana kuphakathi kwezinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu; kuyicala okumele iSonto lonke, ikakhulukazi iSonto LasePoland, liluthathe. Isivivinyo sesizwe sethu kanye neSonto hhayi kuphela, kodwa ngandlela-thile isivivinyo seminyaka engu-2,000 13 yamasiko nempucuko yobuKristu, nayo yonke imiphumela yayo ebhekele isithunzi somuntu, amalungelo abantu, amalungelo abantu namalungelo ezizwe. ” —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), e-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA; Agasti 1976, XNUMX

Ngenkathi eba nguPapa, waphinde waveza i- izindlela iSonto elizonqoba ngalo “i-anti-Church”:

Kuleli zinga lomhlaba wonke, uma ukunqoba kufika kuzolethwa nguMary. UKristu uzonqoba ngaye ngoba ufuna ukunqoba kweSonto manje nasesikhathini esizayo kuxhumane naye… —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Ukweqa Umngcele Wethemba, iphe. I-221

Lesi sitatimende, kanye nezinye engizenzile lapha, zithumele abafundi bami abaningi bamaProthestani emsileni, ingasaphathwa eyamaKhatholika akithi akhuliswe ngamathonya obuVangeli noma ngaphandle kwemiyalo efanele. Nami ngakhuliswa phakathi kwamaPentekoste amaningi kanye “nokuvuselelwa okuhehayo.” Kodwa-ke, nabazali bami babambelela ngokuqinile ezimfundisweni zoKholo lwethu. Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ngibe nenhlanhla yokuzwa amandla aphilayo obudlelwano bomuntu noJesu, amandla eZwi likaNkulunkulu, amandla kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi ngasikhathi sinye, izisekelo eziqinisekile nezingaguquki zokholo nezokuziphatha ezinikezwe kuqhubeke ngomkhuba ophilayo weSonto (bheka Ubufakazi Bomuntu Siqu).

Ngiphinde ngabona ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba nomama — uMama kaNkulunkulu — njengowami, nokuthi lokhu kungisondeze kanjani kuJesu ngokushesha okukhulu nangokuphumelelayo kunanoma ikuphi okunye ukuzinikela engikwaziyo ngaphandle kwamaSakramente.

Kepha akusiyo indlela amanye amaKatolika akubona ngayo. Kusuka kumfundi:

Ngibona eSontweni ukuthi lokho engikholelwa ukuthi ukugxila kakhulu kuMariya kunciphise ubukhulu bukaKristu ngoba, ngokungagwegwesi, abantu abalifundi iBhayibheli futhi abafundeli ukwazi uKristu nokumenza aziwe — benza ukuzinikela kukaMariya futhi babeke okuningi ukwethembeka ekubonakaleni noma "ukuvakashelwa" egumbini labo kusuka kuMama obusisiwe kunalowo ochazwa ngokuthi "ukugcwala kobuNkulunkulu ngesimo somzimba" "ukukhanya kwabeZizwe" "umfanekiso ocacile kaNkulunkulu" "indlela Iqiniso nokuPhila ”njll. Ngiyazi ukuthi lokho akuyona inhloso-kodwa kunzima ukuphika umphumela.

Uma uJesu ahlehlisa noma ngubani — bekuya kuYise. Uma ehlehlisa elinye igunya kwakuyimibhalo. Ukuphendulela abanye kuJESU kwaba indima kaJohane uMbhapathizi kanye naleyo yabo bonke ababoni nabaprofethi emhlabeni. UJohn the Baptist wathi, "Kumele akhule, nginciphe mina." Ukube uMary ubekhona namuhla ubengatshela akholwa nabo kuKristu ukuthi bafunde iZwi likaNkulunkulu ukuze baqondiswe futhi bazi ngoKristu — hhayi yena. Kuzwakala sengathi iSonto LamaKatolika lithi, "Bhekisa amehlo akho kuMariya." UJesu uqobo ezikhathini ezimbili kwakudingeka akhumbuze abalandeli bakhe ukuthi labo “abezwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi baligcina” babesendleleni efanele.

Ufanelwe inhlonipho nenhlonipho yethu, kunjalo. Kuze kube manje, angiboni ukuthi indima yakhe njengothisha noma umqondisi ngaphandle kwesibonelo sakhe… “uNkulunkulu, uMsindisi wami” yindlela abhekise ngayo kuNkulunkulu ephendula isibusiso sakhe esikhulu ngesikhathi ekhonza. Ngangizibuza kaningi ukuthi kungani owesifazane ongenasono engabiza uNkulunkulu ngoMsindisi wakhe. Ikakhulukazi uma ucabanga ukuthi igama elembuliwe lengane yakhe kwakunguJesu— (uzomqamba igama lokuthi uJesu, ngoba uzosindisa abantu baKhe EZONWENI ZABO.)

Ukufingqa namhlanje, ngizokwabelana ngesigameko esikoleni samaKatolika. Uthisha ubuze ukuthi ngabe ukhona yini emhlabeni ongakaze one nokuthi ngabe ukhona yini, ngubani? Impendulo enamandla yathi “Mariya!” Edidekile, indodana yami yaphakamisa isandla futhi ngayo yonke amehlo yathi kuye, "Uthini ngoJesu?" Uthisha waphendula wathi, "O, ngicabanga ukuthi noJesu wayengenasono."

Okokuqala, mangisho ukuthi ngiyavumelana nomfundi wami, ukuthi uMary uzotshela akholwa nabo ukuthi baphendukele eZwini likaNkulunkulu. Lokhu empeleni kungenye yezicelo zakhe ezinkulu, kanye nokufunda ukuthandaza ngokusuka enhliziyweni ngobuhlobo bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu — into ayincenge ngokuqhubekayo endaweni eyaziwayo yezwe njengamanje ngaphansi kophenyo lweSonto. ^[2]qhathanisa EMedjugorje Kepha uMary futhi wayezothi, ngaphandle kokungabaza, aphendukele ku Abaphostoli ababebekwe amacala okufundisa imiBhalo ^[3]bheka Inkinga Eyisisekelo , futhi ngaleyondlela abanikeze incazelo efanele. Wayesikhumbuza ukuthi uJesu wathi kubo:

Onilalelayo uyangilalela nami. (Luka 10:16)

Ngaphandle kwalelo zwi eligunyaziwe labaPhostoli nabalandela labo, bekungafundwa iBhayibheli ngokuzithoba, futhi iSonto likaKristu, kunokuba lisetshenziswe, lizohlukana phakathi. Ake ngiphendule okunye ukukhathazeka komfundi wami, ngoba iNdlovukazi Ebusisiwe ineqhaza elibalulekile okufanele ilibambe ezikhathini ezizayo ezikhula zikhathaze kakhulu usuku nosuku…

 

UKWEBA UKUKHULA KUKAKRESTU!

Mhlawumbe ukuphikisa okukhulu amaKhatholika amaningi kanye nabangewona amaKhatholika ngokufanayo ngokuqondene noMariya ukuthi kugxilwe kakhulu kuye! Akungabazeki, izithombe zezinkulungwane zabantu basePhilippines bephethe izithombe ze UMary emigwaqweni… noma izixuku ezehlela emathempelini aseMarian… noma izintokazi ezibhekane nobungcweti zithupha ubuhlalu bazo ngaphambi kweMisa… ziphakathi kwezithombe eziningi ezidlula engqondweni yomuntu obabazayo. Futhi kwezinye izimo, kungahle kube neqiniso kulokhu, ukuthi abanye bagcizelele uMariya ngaphandle kweNdodana yakhe. Ngikhumbula nginikeza inkulumo ngokubuyela eNkosini, ngokuthembela emseni Wayo omkhulu, lapho owesifazane eza kamuva futhi wangikhuza ngokungasho lutho ngoMariya. Ngazama ukubona uMama Obusisiwe emi lapho edangele ngoba ngangikhulume ngoMsindisi kunaye — futhi angikwazanga. Ngiyaxolisa, lokho hhayi uMariya. Konke ukwenza iNdodana yakhe yaziwe, hhayi yena. Ngamazwi akhe:

Umphefumulo wami umemezela ubukhulu beNkosi… (Luka 1:46)

Hhayi ubukhulu bakhe! Kude nokweba ukuduma kukaKristu, ungumbani okhanyisa iNdlela.

 

UKWABELA AMANDLA NEGUNYA

Iqiniso ngukuthi, uJesu kufanele asolwe ngokubukeka kwehlisa ubukhulu baKhe uqobo. Umfundi wami uphatheke kabi ngoba iSonto LamaKatolika lifundisa ukuthi uMary unendima eqondile ekuchobozeni ikhanda lenyoka. "NguJesu onqoba okubi, hhayi uMariya!" kuza imibhikisho. Kepha akusikho lokho okushiwo ngumBhalo:

Bheka, nginikele wena amandla 'okunyathela izinyoka' nawofezela nasebandleni eliphelele lesitha futhi akukho lutho oluzokulimaza. (Luka 10:19)

Nakwezinye izindawo:

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

Lokhu kusho ukuthi uJesu uyanqoba ngokusebenzisa amakholwa. Futhi kwakungeyena yini uMariya kuqala okholwayo? I- kuqala UmKristu? I- kuqala umfundi weNkosi yethu? Ngempela, waba ngowokuqala ukumthwala amlethe emhlabeni. Akufanele yini-ke naye ahlanganyele emandleni nasegunyeni okungamakholwa? Kunjalo. Futhi ngokulandelana komusa, uzoba ngu- okokuqala. Eqinisweni, kuye futhi akekho omunye umuntu owake wathi noma ngemuva kwalokho,

Isichotho, ugcwele umusa! INkosi inawe (Luka 1:28)

Uma iNkosi inaye, ngubani ongamelana naye? ^[4]AmaRoma 8:31 Uma ekhona ugcwele umusa, futhi uyilungu loMzimba kaKristu, akahlanganyeli ngendlela evelele emandleni nasegunyeni likaJesu?

Ngoba kuhlala kuye ukugcwala konke kobuNkulunkulu ngokomzimba, futhi nihlanganyela kulokhu kugcwala kuye, oyinhloko yabo bonke ubukhosi namandla. (Kol 2: 9-10)

Siyazi ukuthi uMariya unendawo evelele, hhayi nje kuphela evela kwezenkolo, kodwa kusukela ekuhlangenwe nakho okukhulu kweSonto phakathi namakhulu eminyaka. UPapa John Paul wakusho lokhu encwadini yakhe yokugcina yabaphostoli:

ISonto lihlale lisho ukuthi lo mthandazo usebenza ngempumelelo ethile, ukuphathisa iRosari… izinkinga ezinzima kakhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi lapho ubuKrestu uqobo babubonakala busongelwa, ukukhululwa kwabo kwakuhlotshaniswa namandla alo mthandazo, futhi i-Our Lady of the Rosary yanconywa njengalowo ukukhulumela kwabo kwaletha insindiso. —UPapa John Paul II, URosarium Virginis Mariae, 40

Ngizokhuluma ngomzuzwana ukuthi kungani, ngemuva kokuNyukela kwakhe eZulwini, esenendima okufanele ayidlale emlandweni wesintu. Kepha asiwanaki kanjani amazwi kaBaba Ongcwele? UmKristu angavele asichithe kanjani lesi sitatimende ngaphandle kokubheka amaqiniso abhalwe kahle nesisekelo salokho kumangala? Futhi nokho amaKristu amaningi enza ngoba bazizwa ukuthi amazwi anjalo “anciphisa ubukhosi bukaKristu.” Kepha-ke sithini ngabangcwele abakhulu besikhathi esedlule abakhipha amadimoni, benza izimangaliso, futhi basungula amasonto ezizweni ezingamaqaba? Ngabe sithi banciphisa ubukhulu bukaKristu? Cha, empeleni, ubukhulu namandla onke kaKristu bekulokhu kunjalo ukhazinyuliswa nakakhulu impela ngoba usebenze ngamandla ngezidalwa ezingabantu. NoMariya ungomunye wabo.

Isikhulu esiphezulu se-exorcist saseRoma, uFr. UGabriele Amorth, ulandisa lokho okwembulwa yidemoni ngaphansi kokulalela.

Ngelinye ilanga umuntu engisebenza naye wezwa uSathane ethi ngesikhathi ekhipha amadimoni: “Konke Tusa uMariya kufana nokushaywa ekhanda lami. Ukube amaKristu ayazi ukuthi iRosari inamandla kangakanani, bekungaba ukuphela kwami. ” Imfihlo eyenza lo mthandazo uphumelele kangaka ukuthi iRosari ingumthandazo nokuzindla. Kubhekiswe kuYise, eNcasakazini Ebusisiwe, nakuZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele, futhi ukuzindla okugxile kuKristu. -Echo kaMariya, iNdlovukazi Yokuthula, Uhlelo lukaMashi-Ephreli, 2003

Lokhu kunjalo kungani UMariya ubelokhu futhi eba yithuluzi elinamandla likaNkulunkulu eSontweni. Her i-fiat, yebo wakhe kuNkulunkulu ubelokhu “kugxile kuKristu” ngaso sonke isikhathi. Njengoba azisho ngokwakhe,

Yenza noma yini akutshela yona. (Johane 2: 5)

Futhi lena yinhloso yeRosari: ukuzindla, noMariya, ngempilo yeNdodana yakhe:

IRosary, yize icacile ukuthi inguMariya ngesimo, isenhliziyweni yomthandazo kaChristocentric… Isikhungo samandla adonsela phansi Dumisani uMariya, ihinji ngangokunokwenzeka elihlanganisa izingxenye zalo ezimbili, ngu igama likaJesu. Kwesinye isikhathi, ekufundeni okuphuthumayo, lesi sikhungo samandla adonsela phansi singanakwa, futhi ngaso sixhunyaniswe nemfihlakalo kaKristu ecatshangwayo. Kodwa-ke, yikho kanye ukugcizelelwa okunikezwe egameni likaJesu nemfihlakalo yakhe okuyisibonakaliso sokuphindwaphindwa okunenzuzo nokunempumelelo kweRosari. —UJOHANE PAUL II, URosarium Virginis Mariae, n. 1, 33

 

IZILUNGISELELO

Amanye amaKrestu "akholelwa eBhayibhelini" aphikisana nomqondo wokuthi osanta banento yokwenza nemisebenzi yabantu uma sebesezulwini. Okuxakayo ukuthi asikho isisekelo esingokomBhalo sokuphikisa okunjalo. Bakholelwa futhi ukuthi ukubonakala kukaMariya emhlabeni kuyizinkohliso zamademoni (futhi ngokungangabazeki, ezinye zazo ziyingelosi ewile ebonakala “njengokukhanya” noma nje umcabango walabo okuthiwa ababoni).

Kepha siyabona emBhalweni ukuthi, nangemva kokufa, imiphefumulo babe wabonakala emhlabeni. UMathewu ukhumbula okwenzeka ekufeni nasekuvukeni kukaJesu:

Umhlaba wazamazama, kwaqhekeka amadwala, kwavulwa amathuna, nemizimba yabangcwele abaningi ababewile yavuka. Baphuma emathuneni abo emva kokuvuka kwakhe, bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabaningi. (Math 27: 51-53)

Akunakwenzeka ukuthi bavele "bafika." Kungenzeka ukuthi laba bangcwele bamemezele ukuvuka kukaJesu, bengeza ekwethembekeni kofakazi woMphostoli uqobo. Noma kunjalo, siyabona ukuthi abangcwele bavele kanjani emhlabeni nokuxoxisana ngisho nasempilweni yeNkosi uqobo lwasemhlabeni.

Bheka, kwavela kubo uMose no-Eliya bekhuluma naye. (Math 17: 3)

Ngenkathi uMose efa, iBhayibheli lisitshela ukuthi bobabili u-Eliya no-Enoke abafanga. U-Eliya wathathwa ngenqola yomlilo ngenkathi u-Enoke…

… Wahunyushelwa epharadesi, ukuze anikeze izizwe ukuphenduka. (UMfundisi 44:16)

UmBhalo Nesiko kuyaqinisekisa ukuthi kungenzeka babuyele emhlabeni ngasekupheleni kwesikhathi njengofakazi ababili beSambulo 11: 3 ^[5]bheka Icala Leminyaka Eyisikhombisa - Ingxenye VII:

Ofakazi ababili-ke bazoshumayela iminyaka emithathu nohhafu; noMphikukristu uyokwenza impi nabangcwele phakathi nesonto lonke, achithe umhlaba ... - UHippolytus, uBaba weSonto, Imisebenzi Engaphezulu Nezingcezu zeHippolytus, n. 39

Futhi-ke, neNkosi yethu uqobo yavela ngokukhanyayo kuSawule (uSt. Paul), yaletha ukuguquka kwakhe. Ngakho-ke kunesibonelo seBhayibheli esikhombisa ukuthi abangcwele bahlala "bumzimba munye" neBandla. Ukuthi nje ngoba sifa, asihlukanisiwe noMzimba kaKristu, kepha singena ngokugcwele ekugcwaleni kwalowo oyinhloko yabo bonke ubukhosi namandla. Abangcwele empeleni eduze kithi kunangesikhathi behamba emhlabeni ngoba manje sebebunyeni obugcwele noNkulunkulu. Uma unoJesu enhliziyweni yakho, nawe, ngempilo kaMoya oNgcwele, awunabo yini ubudlelwano obujule kakhulu nalabo abamunye nabo?

… Sizungezwe yifu elikhulu kangaka lofakazi… (Heb 12: 1)

Enkulumweni ethi "Ubusisiwe owakholwayo," ngakho-ke singathola ngokufanele uhlobo "lwesikhiye" olusivulela iqiniso langempela likaMariya, ingelosi eyamdumisa ngokuthi "ugcwele umusa." Uma “egcwele umusa” ubekhona ingunaphakade imfihlakalo kaKristu, ngokukholwa waba ngumhlanganyeli kuleyo mfihlakalo kukho konke ukwandiswa kohambo lwakhe lwasemhlabeni. “Wathuthuka ohambweni lwakhe lokholo” futhi ngasikhathi sinye, ngendlela ehlakaniphile nokho eqondile nephumelelayo, wethula esintwini imfihlakalo kaKristu. Futhi usaqhubeka nokwenza kanjalo. Ngemfihlakalo kaKristu, naye ukhona ngaphakathi kwesintu. Ngakho-ke ngemfihlakalo yeNdodana imfihlakalo kaMama nayo icacisiwe. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Redemptoris Mater, hhayi. 2

Ngakho-ke, kungani uMariya evela emhlabeni njengoba eye wabonakala amakhulu eminyaka? Impendulo eyodwa ukuthi imiBhalo Sitshele ukuthi iSonto lezikhathi zokugcina lizokwenza bheka lo "wesifazane embethe ilanga," onguMariya, uphawu noluphawu lweBandla. Indima yakhe, empeleni, iyisibuko sesonto, futhi okunye ukhiye wokuqonda iqhaza lakhe eliyingqayizivele nelivelele ezinhlelweni zokuhlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu.

Kwavela isibonakaliso esikhulu esibhakabhakeni, owesifazane embethe ilanga, nenyanga ingaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona umqhele wezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili. (IsAm 12: 1)

 

QAPHELA KAKHULU?

Futhi-ke, umfundi wami uzizwa ukuthi kunakwa kakhulu lo wesifazane. Noma kunjalo, lalela uSt. Paul:

Yibani ngabalingisi bami, njengoba nami ngilingisa uKristu. (1 Kor 11: 1)

Ukusho lokhu kaningana. Kungani ungavele uthi, “Lingisa uKristu”? Kungani edonsela ukunakekelwa kuye? Ngabe uPawulu untshontsha ukuduma kukaKristu? Cha, uPawulu wayefundisa, ehola, futhi eqondisa, enikeza isibonelo, indlela entsha eyayidinga ukulandelwa. Ngubani owalandela uJesu ngokuphelele ukwedlula uMariya? Lapho bonke abanye bebaleka, uMary wema ngaphansi kwesiphambano ngemuva kokumlandela nokumkhonza iminyaka engama-33. Ngakho-ke uJesu waphendukela kuJohane futhi wamemezela ukuthi wayezoba nguMama Wakhe, yena abe yindodana yakhe. Lesi kwakuyisibonelo uJesu ayefuna ukuthi iSonto lisilandele — ukulalela okugcwele nokuphelele ngomoya wokuthobeka, ukuthobeka, nokholo olufana nolomntwana. KwakunguJesu owathi ngandlela thile, "bhekisa amehlo akho kuMariya" kulesi senzo sokugcina esiphambanweni. Ngoba ekuphendukeleni esibonelweni sakhe nokunxenxa omama nokungenelela (njengakumshado waseKhana), uJesu wayazi ukuthi sizomthola kalula; ukuthi akwazi ukushintsha kalula kalula amanzi obuthakathaka bethu abe yiwayini lomusa waKhe.

Futhi kuye kwakubonakala ngathi, phendulela amehlo akho eBandleni Lami, umzimba Wami manje osemhlabeni okufanele futhi ube ngumama, ngoba angisiyo nje ikhanda, kodwa umzimba ogcwele. Siyakwazi lokhu ngoba, kusukela ngekhulu lokuqala, amaKrestu ayemhlonipha kakhulu uMama kaNkulunkulu. Ababhali bamaVangeli (uMathewu noLuka) kungenzeka bamfuna ukuba abuye alande ama-akhawunti wokuzalwa kwentombi kanye neminye imininingwane yempilo yeNdodana yakhe. Izindonga zamathuna okungcwaba zaziqukethe imidwebo nezimpawu zoMama Obusisiwe. ISonto lokuqala laliqonda ukuthi lo wesifazane wayethandwa uNkulunkulu, futhi wayengumama wabo uqobo.

Ingabe lokhu kususa kuJesu? Cha, kugcizelela ubukhulu obuningi bokufaneleka Kwakhe, ukuphana Kwakhe ngezidalwa Zakhe, kanye neqhaza elikhulu leBandla ekusindisweni komhlaba. Kuyamdumisa, ngoba lonke iSonto likhuliswe laba nesithunzi esikhulu ngomhlatshelo waKhe:

Ngoba siyizisebenzi ezikanye noNkulunkulu. (1 Kor. 3: 9)

Futhi uMariya wayesebenza naye “egcwele umusa.” Ngisho neNgelosi uGabriyeli yathi, “Sawubona!” Ngakho uma sithandaza “Dumisa uMariya, ugcwele umusa… ” ingabe thina maKatolika sinaka kakhulu uMariya? Tshela uGabriyeli lokho. Futhi siyaqhubeka… “ubusisiwe wena kwabesifazane… ” Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi mangaki amaKristu namuhla anesithakazelo ekuprofethweni — kodwa hhayi leso. Ngoba uLuka ulandisa lokho uMariya akumemezela eMagnificat yakhe:

… Kusukela manje yonke iminyaka izongibiza ngokuthi ngibusisiwe. (Luka 1:48)

Nsuku zonke, ngigcwalisa isiprofetho lapho ngithatha iRosari bese ngiqala ukuthandaza noMariya kuJesu, ngisebenzisa wona kanye amagama emiBhalo agcwalisa izwi lakhe lesiprofetho. Ngabe ucabanga ukuthi leso ngesinye sezizathu zokuthi kuyigalelo ekhanda likaSathane? Ukuthi, ngenxa yale ntombazanyana esencane, wehluliwe? Ngenxa yokulalela kwakhe, ukungalaleli kuka-Eva kuhlehlisiwe? Ngenxa yendima yakhe eqhubekayo emlandweni wokusindiswa njengoMfazi owembethe ilanga, inzalo yakhe izomchoboza ikhanda? ^[6]UGenesise 3: 15

Yebo, leso ngesinye isiprofetho, sokuthi kuzoba nobutha baphakade phakathi kukadeveli nowesifazane ngezikhathi zenzalo yakhe—ngezikhathi zikaKristu.

Ngizobeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho nenzalo yakhe… (Gen 3:15)

Emshadweni waseKhana, uJesu wasebenzisa ngamabomu lesi sihloko esithi "owesifazane" ukukhuluma noMama wakhe lapho ekhombisa ukuthi iwayini seliphelile:

Woman, ukungithinta kwakho kungithinta kanjani? Isikhathi sami asikafiki. (Johane 2: 4)

Futhi-ke, Wamlalela noma kunjalo futhi wenza isimangaliso Sakhe sokuqala. Yebo, ungowesifazane ophethe iNdodana yakhe, njengoba nje omama beNdlovukazi esivumelwaneni esidala babenethonya elikhulu emadodaneni abo obukhosi. Ukusebenzisa kwakhe isiqu esithi “owesifazane” kwenziwa ngamabomu, ukumfanisa “nowesifazane” kuGenesise nesAmbulo.

Ukunakwa kakhulu? Hhayi lapho ukunakwa kukaMariya kusho ukunaka okujule nokujule kakhulu kuJesu…

 

NGAMALUNGELO AKHE

Umfundi wami ubuza ukuthi kungani owesifazane ongenasono ezodinga "uNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami." Impendulo imane nje ukuthi uMariya wayengeke angabi nasono ngaphandle kothando lukaKristu, ukufa nokuvuka kwakhe. Kuyimfundiso yenkolo eyisisekelo cishe kuwo wonke amahlelo obuKristu ukuthi lokho uKristu akufinyelele esiphambanweni kuyisenzo saphakade esidlulela kuwo wonke umlando nakusasa. Ngakho-ke, u-Abraham, uMose, noNowa bonke baseZulwini yize iqiniso lokuthi ukunqoba kweCalvary kwaba ngamakhulu eminyaka kamuva. Njengoba nje ukusebenza kwesiphambano kwasetshenziswa kulabo ababemiselwe ngaphambili nguNkulunkulu endimeni yabo ethile emlandweni wokusindiswa, kanjalo-ke nabo basebenza kuMariya ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu ngendima yakhe ethile. Futhi indima yakhe bekuwukuvumela uNkulunkulu ukuthi athathe inyama enyameni yakhe nasegazini lakhe egazini lakhe. UKristu angahlala kanjani esitsheni esangcoliswa yisono sokuqala? Angaba kanjani yiWundlu likaNkulunkulu elingenabala nelingenasici ngaphandle Kokukhulelwa Okungenasici KukaMariya? Ngakho-ke, kusukela ekuqaleni wazalwa “egcwele umusa,” ongasekelwe ebuhleni bakhe, kodwa kweNdodana yakhe.

… Wayeyindawo efanelekile yokuhlala kaKristu, hhayi ngenxa yesimo somzimba wakhe, kodwa ngenxa yomusa wakhe wasekuqaleni. — UPOPE PIUX IX, Ineffabilis Deus, Umthetho-sisekelo WabaPhostoli uchaza ngokuqinile isifundiso se-Immaculate Conception, ngoDisemba 8, 1854

Wasindiswa Nguye, kodwa ngendlela enamandla futhi ehlukile ngoba wayezoba nguMama kaNkulunkulu, njengoba no-Abrahama wasindiswa ngendlela enamandla futhi ehlukile ngaye ukholo lapho unkosikazi wakhe osekhulile ekhulelwe, okumenza "ubaba wazo zonke izizwe". USoo, uMary manje "uyiNkosikazi yazo zonke izizwe"  ^[7]isihloko esivunyelwe uMama Wethu ngo-2002: bheka lesi isixhumanisi.

 

IZIHLOKO

Isiqu sakhe esivelele nguMama kaNkulunkulu. Futhi lokhu yilokho umzala wakhe u-Elizabeth ambiza ngakho:

Ubusisiwe wena kwabesifazane, sibusisiwe nesithelo sesisu sakho. Futhi kwenzeka kanjani kimi lokhu, lokho umama weNkosi yami kufanele ize kimi? (Luka 1: 42-43)

Ungumama weNkosi yami, onguNkulunkulu. Futhi, ngaphansi kwesiphambano, wanikezwa ukuba abe nguMama wabo bonke. Lokhu kubuyela emuva kuGenesise lapho u-Adamu aqamba umkakhe igama:

U-Adamu wabiza umkakhe ngokuthi u-Eva, ngokuba waba ngunina wabo bonke abaphilayo. (UGenesise 3:20)

USt. Paul ufundisa ukuthi uKristu uyi u-Adamu omusha. ^[8]1 Kor 15:22, 45 Futhi lo Adam Omusha umemezela eseSiphambanweni ukuthi uMariya uzoba nguMama omusha wabo bonke abaphilayo ekuzalweni kabusha okungokomoya kwendalo.

Bheka nangu unyoko. (Johane 19:27)

Ngemuva kwakho konke, uma uMariya azala uJesu, inhloko yeSonto, akazalanga yini nomzimba waKhe, iSonto?

Owesifazane, bheka, indodana yakho. (Johane 19:26)

Ngisho noMartin Luther wayekuqonda kahle lokhu:

UMariya unguMama kaJesu noMama wethu sonke yize kwakunguKristu yedwa owaguqa ngamadolo akhe… Uma engowethu, kufanele sibe sesimeni sakhe; lapho ekhona, nathi kufanele sibe khona nakho konke anakho kufanele kube okwethu, nonina ungumama wethu. —UMartin Luther, Intshumayelo, UKhisimusi, 1529.

Ngakho-ke kusobala ukuthi amaKrestu amaVangeli alahlekelwe nguMama wawo, endaweni ethile. Kepha mhlawumbe lokho kuyashintsha:

… Kudala amaKhatholika amhlonipha, kepha manje amaProthestani asethola izizathu zawo zokugubha umama kaJesu. -Umagazini wesikhathi, “Dumisa Mariya”, Mashi 21, 2005

Futhi-ke, njengoba ngishilo phambilini, imfihlakalo ijule kunalokhu. Ngoba uMariya ufanekisela iSonto. ISonto nalo “lingumama” wethu.

Ulwazi ngemfundiso eyiqiniso yamaKhatholika maqondana neNtombi Ezibusisiwe uMariya luyohlale luyikhiye ekuqondeni ngqo imfihlakalo kaKristu neyeSonto. —UPOPE PAUL VI, Inkhulumo yangomhlaka 21 Novemba 1964: AAS 56 (1964) 1015.

Okuningi okubhalwe lapha ezikhathini zokugcina kusekelwe kulokhu ukhiye. Kepha lokho ngesinye isikhathi.

 

UKULANDELA UJESU

Okunye ukuphikisana okuvamile ngoMariya okuvezwa ngamaProthestani yizindima ezimbalwa zeBhayibheli lapho uJesu ebonakala ebeka khona uMama wakhe phansi, ngaleyo ndlela abonakale ediliza noma yimuphi umqondo wokuthi kukhona enye indima ebalulekile azoyenza. Othile ezixukwini wamemeza wathi:

“Sibusisiwe isizalo esakuthwala namabele akumunyisile!” kodwa wathi “Kunalokho babusisiwe labo zwa izwi likaNkulunkulu, ulilalele. ” (Lk 11: 27-28) Omunye wathi kuye, “Unyoko nabafowenu bemi ngaphandle, bafuna ukukhuluma nawe.” Kodwa waphendula lowo owayemtshela wathi: “Ngubani umama wami? Bangobani abafowethu? ”Welula isandla sakhe waya kubafundi bakhe, wathi:“ Nangu umama nabafowethu. Ngoba owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini ungumfowethu, nodadewethu, nomama. ” (Math 12: 47-50)

Yize kungahle kubonakale sengathi uJesu unciphisa indima kaMama wakhe (“Ngiyabonga ngesizalo. Angikudingi manje…”), kuphambene impela. Lalelisisa ukuthi Wathini, “Ubusisiwe kunalokho yilabo abezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu balilandele. ” Ngubani obusiswe kakhulu phakathi kwabesilisa nabesifazane ngokufanayo ngokuqondile ngoba wezwa futhi walalela izwi likaNkulunkulu, izwi lengelosi?

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

UJesu ugcizelela ukuthi ukubusiswa kukaMariya akuveli ebudlelwaneni bomzimba nje, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke a okungokomoya eyodwa esuselwa ekulaleleni nasokholweni. Kungashiwo okufanayo ngamaKatolika namuhla athola uMzimba neGazi likaJesu. Ukuhlangana ngokomzimba neNkosi yethu kuyisipho esikhethekile, kodwa ukholo nokulalela evula inhliziyo ukwamukela ukubusiswa kwesipho soBukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, inhliziyo evaliwe noma inhliziyo enezithombe iqeda umusa woxhumana naye ngokomzimba:

… 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

Kepha uMariya wazigcinela ngokuphelele futhi njalo ukuze agcine uNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke lapho uJesu ethi, “owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini ungumfowethu, nodadewethu, nomama,” kusho ukuthi, akekho phakathi kwakho ongakufanelekela ukuba nguMama wami ukudlula lo wesifazane.

 

UBUFAKAZI obuncane

Yebo, kuningi engingakusho ngalo Mfazi. Kepha ake ngiphethe ngokwabelana ngolwazi lwami uqobo. Kuzo zonke izimfundiso zenkolo yamaKhatholika, uMary wayeyiyona enzima kakhulu kimi. Ngangizabalaza, njengomfundi wami, ukuthi kungani le ntombi yanakwa kangaka. Ngangesaba ukuthi ngokuthandaza kuye ngangiphula Umyalo wokuqala. Kepha ngenkathi ngifunda ubufakazi babangcwele abanjengoLouis de Montfort, uMama oBusisiwe uTeresa nezinceku zikaNkulunkulu ezifana noJohn Paul II noCatherine de Hueck Doherty nokuthi uMary ubasondeze kanjani kuJesu, nginqume ukwenza abakwenzile: ngizingcwelisele kuye. Lokho kusho ukuthi, kulungile mama, ngifuna ukukhonza uJesu ngokuphelele ngokuba ngowakho ngokuphelele.

Kwenzeka okuthile okungakholeki. Ukulambela kwami ​​iZwi likaNkulunkulu kwanda; isifiso sami sokuhlanganyela ekukholweni sakhula; nothando lwami ngoJesu lwaqhakaza. Ungithathe wajula kakhulu ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu neNdodana yakhe ngokuqondile ngoba unobudlelwano obujule kakhulu Naye. Futhi, okwangimangaza ukuthi, izinqaba zesono ezazingibusa iminyaka, imizabalazo engangibonakala ngingenamandla okunqoba, yaqala ukwehla ngokushesha. Kwakungangabazeki ukuthi isithende sowesifazane sasibandakanyekile.

Lokhu kusho ukuthi indlela engcono kakhulu yokuqonda uMariya ukumazi. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuqonda ukuthi kungani enguMama wakho ukuvumela umama wakhe ukuthi abe ngumama wakho. Lokhu, ngaphezu kwakho konke, kube namandla amakhulu kimi ukwedlula noma yikuphi ukuxolisa engikufundile. Ngingakutshela lokhu: uma ukuzinikela kuMariya bekungaqala ngandlela thile ukungisusa kuJesu, ukuphazamisa uthando lwami kuYe, bengizomlahla ngokushesha kunamazambane ayimbuka. Makabongwe uNkulunkulu, nokho, ngingasho ngezigidi zamaKrestu kanye neNkosi yethu uqobo ukuthi: "Bheka unyoko." Yebo, ubusisiwe, Mama wami othandekayo, ubusisiwe.
