PHAKATHI amazwi anamandla kakhulu futhi ayisiprofetho akhulunywa kuMariya yingelosi uGabriyeli kwakuyisithembiso sokuthi uMbuso weNdodana yakhe awusoze waphela. Lezi izindaba ezinhle kulabo abesaba ukuthi iSonto LamaKatolika ekufeni kwalo liphonsa…

Uzoba mkhulu futhi abizwe ngokuthi yiNdodana YoPhezukonke, futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyomnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide uyise, futhi uyobusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube phakade, futhi embusweni wakhe ngeke kube nakuphela. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)

Ngenkathi ngikhulume le Advent yezinye zezindaba ezinzima eziphathelene noMphikukristu neSilo - izihloko, noma kunjalo, konke ukwenza ne-Advent nokubuya kukaJesu — sekuyisikhathi sokuphinde sigxile ekucabangeni kukaNkulunkulu okwenzeka esikhathini sethu. Sidinga ukuzwa kabusha amazwi akhulunywa kuMariya, noma ezingelosini lapho bevela kubelusi:

Ungesabi… (Luka 1:30, 2:10)

Kungani, uma iSilo singase sikhuphuke, ^[1]qhathanisa Isilo Esikhulayo akufanele yini sesabe, ungabuza? Ngoba lesi yisithembiso sikaJesu kini nina enithembekile:

Ngoba ugcinile umyalezo wami wokukhuthazela, ngizokugcina uphephile ngesikhathi sokulingwa esizofika emhlabeni wonke ukuvivinya abakhileyo emhlabeni. Ngiyeza masinyane. Bambisisa lokho onakho, ukuze kungabikho muntu ozothatha umqhele wakho. (IsAm. 3:10)

Ngakho-ke ungesabi noma unyakaziswe lapho ubona izithunzi ziwela emhlabeni wonke, ngisho neSonto uqobo. Lobu busuku kumele bufike, kepha kulabo abathembekile, iKhwezi Lokusa selivele liphuma ezinhliziyweni zenu. ^[2]qhathanisa Inkanyezi Yasekuseni Ezayo Lesi isithembiso sikaKristu!

Ngenkathi uJesu ehamba phakathi kwethu enyameni, wayevame ukuthi "Umbuso kaNkulunkulu useduze." Ngokuza kwakhe kokuqala, uJesu wamisa uMbuso Wakhe emhlabeni ngomzimba wakhe, Isonto:

UKristu uhlala emhlabeni eBandleni lakhe…. "Emhlabeni, imbewu kanye nokuqala kombuso". -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 699

Uma kunjalo, lokho okushiwo iNgelosi enkulu uGabriyeli ukuthi i- Church ayisoze yachotshozwa (futhi lapha, asikhulumi nganoma yimaphi amandla nethonya lesikhashana, kodwa ngobukhona bakhe bokomoya nobukhona besakramente) - hhayi ngisho yisilo. Empeleni…

ISonto lamaKatolika, elingumbuso kaKristu emhlabeni, kulindeleke ukuba lisatshalaliswe phakathi kwabo bonke abantu nezizwe zonke… —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ama-Quas Primas, I-Encyclical, n. 12, Disemba 11, 1925; cf. Math 24:14

Kungenxa yentshisekelo yakhe ukuthi iSonto lizohlanzwa ukuze lifeze ikusasa lalo: lifane noMariya, oyisibonelo nomfanekiso weSonto.

Sinikezwe isizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi, ngasekupheleni kwesikhathi futhi mhlawumbe ngokushesha okukhulu kunalokho esikulindeleyo, uNkulunkulu uzophakamisa abantu abagcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele futhi bagcwaliswe ngumoya kaMariya. Ngabo uMariya, iNdlovukazi enamandla amakhulu, uzokwenza izimangaliso ezinkulu emhlabeni, aqede isono futhi amise uMbuso kaJesu iNdodana yakhe emanxiweni ombuso okhohlakele okuyiBabiloni elikhulu lasemhlabeni leli. (IsAm. 18:20) —St. ULouis de Montfort, Phatha ngokuzinikela kweqiniso entombini ebusisiwe, n. 58-59

Kepha mhlawumbe lokhu kuzwakala kuyindida. Ngabe umbuso kaJesu wawungasamisiwe yini eminyakeni eyi-2000 eyedlule? Yebo… futhi cha. Njengoba uMbuso ubusa ngaphakathi naphakathi kweSonto, okusele ukuthi iSonto ngokwalo likhule libe “sesimweni esigcwele” ^[3]cf. Efe 4:13 ukuze ube uMlobokazi ohlanziwe…

… Ukuze azethule kuye esontweni ebukhazikhazini, engenabala noma mibimbi noma yini enjalo, ukuze abe ngcwele futhi angabi nasici. (Efe 5:27)

Ngakho-ke, iSilo, siyisikhali uNkulunkulu asisebenzisela okuhle ekugcineni insindiso yesintu nenkazimulo yeSonto:

Ngoba usuku lomshado weWundlu selufikile, umakoti wakhe uzilungisile. Wavunyelwa ukugqoka ingubo yelineni ekhanyayo, ehlanzekile… Ubusisiwe futhi ungcwele lowo ohlanganyela ekuvukeni kokuqala. Ukufa kwesibili akunamandla phezu kwalokhu; bayakuba ngabapristi bakaNkulunkulu nabakaKristu, babuse kanye naye iminyaka eyinkulungwane. (IsAm 19: 7-8; 20: 6)

Umphumela, ngokwengxenye, wokuhlanzwa okudingekayo okumele iSonto lidlule kukho — ukushushiswa kukadrako kanye nohlelo lomphikukristu lwesilo. Kodwa umbhalo waphansi ku- Revised Standard Version of the Bible uveza ngokufanele:

Ukubhujiswa kukadrako kufanele kuhambisane nokwesilo (IsAm 19:20), ukuze uvuko lokuqala ngokubusa kwabafel 'ukholo lukhombe ekuvuseleleni nasekukhulisweni kweSonto ngemuva kweminyaka yokushushiswa. —Umbhalo wencwadzi yeSembulo 20: 3; Ignatius Press, uHlelo Lwesibili

Uyabona, ukuphuma kweSilo akusona isibonakaliso sokuphela, kepha sekuwukusa okusha. Ukubusa kwabafel 'ukholo? Yebo, lolu wulimi oluyindida… ingxenye yemfihlakalo evelayo yalezi zikhathi. ^[4]qhathanisa Uvuko Oluzayo

Isiqiniseko esibalulekile sesesigaba esiphakathi lapho abangcwele abavukile besesemhlabeni futhi bengazange bangene esigabeni sabo sokugcina, ngoba lesi ngesinye sezici zemfihlakalo yezinsuku zokugcina okumelwe zembulwe. —UKhadinali Jean Daniélou, SJ, isazi semfundiso yenkolo, Umlando Wokufundisa Kwasekuqaleni KwamaKristu Phambi Komkhandlu WaseNicea, I-1964, iphe. 377

Lesi sigaba sokugcina siyisithelo esisha soMbuso kaKristu ngokungafani nanoma yini kusukela ekuZalweni Kwenyama. Njengoba uSt. John Paul II asho, ubuntu…

… Manje sesingene esigabeni sayo sokugcina, okwenza kwaba ukweqa kwekhwalithi, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Umkhathizwe wobudlelwano obusha noNkulunkulu buyambuleka esintwini, obumakwe ngumnikelo omkhulu wensindiso kuKristu. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, General Audience, Ephreli 22nd, 1998

Vele, ukuhlanzwa okudingekayo kwangaphakathi kweSonto ukuze kutholakale lo mkhuba omusha nakho kunemiphumela yangaphandle emhlabeni wonke. Nakho lokhu kuyingxenye yohlelo lukaNkulunkulu, njengoba uJesu asho, ukuze “Leli vangeli lombuso liyoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke, kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. ” ^[5]isib. Mat 24:14 Opapa abaningi bakhulume ngalesi sikhathi sethemba lokuthula esizayo lapho uMbuso kaKristu uzochuma phakathi kwethu:

… Ngokukhanya kwayo ngisho nabanye abantu bangahamba beqonde eMbusweni wezobulungiswa, beqonde eMbusweni we ukuthula. Kuzoba usuku olukhulu kakhulu, lapho izikhali zizodilizwa ukuze ziguqulwe zibe yizinto zokusebenza! Futhi lokhu kungenzeka! Sibheja ethembeni, ethembeni lokuthula, futhi kuzokwenzeka. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, uSunday Angelus, ngoDisemba 1, 2013; ICatholic News Agency, uDisemba 2, 2013

Kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuletha lokhu kujabula ihora nokwenza kwaziwe kubo bonke… Lapho ifika, kuzoba yisizotha ihora, inkulu ngemiphumela hhayi kuphela ekubuyiselweni kombuso kaKristu, kepha nasekuthuleni ... umhlaba. Sithandaza ngokuzimisela okukhulu, futhi sicela abanye ngokufanayo ukuthi bathandazele lokhu kuxolelana okufiswa umphakathi. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi “Ekuthuleni KukaKristu eMbusweni wakhe”, Disemba 23, 1922

Njengoba ngishilo ngaphambili, futhi ngizophinda futhi ngithi: masizilungiselele, hhayi umphik'ukristu njengaye uKristu, oza ngempela (bona Ingabe UJesu Uyeza Ngempela?). Noma uMary wayezobhekana nePassion yeNdodana yakhe ukuze inkemba nayo igwaze inhliziyo yakhe, amazwi eNgelosi uGabriyeli ahlala esebenza: Ungesabi…. uMbuso awusoze waphela.
