Kuthiwani uma…?

Yini ezungeze ukugoba?

IN kuvulekile incwadi eya kuPapa, ^[1]qhathanisa Baba Ongcwele Othandekayo… Uyeza! Ngichaze ebungcweleni Bakhe isisekelo semfundiso yenkolo “yenkathi yokuthula” ngokungafani nokuhlubuka kwe Millenarianism. ^[2]qhathanisa IMillenarianism: Iyini futhi ayikho kanye neCatechism [CCC} n.675-676 Ngempela, uPadre Martino Penasa wabuza lo mbuzo esisekelweni semibhalo yenkathi yokuthula yomlando nendawo yonke Ukuqhathanisa Millenarianism to the Congregation for the Imfundiso Yokholo: “Imminente una nuova era di vita cristiana?"(" Ingabe inkathi entsha yempilo yobuKristu isondele? "). Ibamba ngaleso sikhathi, u-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger uphendule, "La kutakaione è ancora aperta alla libera kukuruione, giacchè la Santa Sede non si è ancora pronounata in modo ufafanuzi":

Umbuzo usavulelekile ezingxoxweni zamahhala, njengoba i-Holy See ingakasho lutho oluzwakalayo kulokhu. -Il I-Segno del Soprannauturale, Udine, Italia, n. 30, ikhasi. 10, Ott. 1990

Ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi iSonto, noma kunini esikhathini esizayo, lingasho ngokusobala ukuthi “inkathi yokuthula” nayo okuphambene ekukholweni. Kuze kube kwenziwa isimemezelo esinjalo, uma kwenzeka, umuntu angabuza futhi, "Kuthiwani uma - kuthiwani uma" inkathi yokuthula " hhayi okuyingxenye 'yezikhathi zokugcina'?

Imibono ehlukanisayo

Iqiniso liwukuthi, kunabanye ababhali besikhathi samanje abathatha lesi simo, basikisela ukuthi Ukuza Kwesibili kuka UKristu kanye nokuphela komhlaba empeleni kuseduze. Kumele sisho ukuthi nabo banelungelo lokuphakamisa lokhu njengoba iSonto lingazange lenze isimemezelo esicacile ngandlela thile. Lokho kusho ukuthi, uPapa Benedict XVI, ephawula ngemiyalezo kaSt Faustina, ethi banikezwa ukulungiselela umhlaba "ukuza kokugcina" kukaJesu, wathi: ^[3]qhathanisa UFaustina, nosuku lweNkosi

Uma umuntu ethatha lesi sitatimende ngomqondo wokulandelana kwezikhathi, njengomyalo wokuzilungiselela, kunjengokungathi, ngokushesha ukuza kwesibili, kungaba ngamanga. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, ikhasi. 180-181

Ngempela, kuleyo ngxoxo, uPapa Benedict uqinisekise ukulindelwa “kokunqoba kwe-Inhliziyo Engacwengeki,” okuthembiswe nguNkosikazi Wethu waseFatima ukuthi kuzoletha “isikhathi sokuthula” emhlabeni. Ngakho-ke, ubona ngokusobala "ukunqoba" njengomcimbi wesikhashana ngaphambi kwemicimbi yokugcina engenisa ukuphela komhlaba. Wathandaza-ke uNkulunkulu ukuba “asheshise ukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho sokunqoba kweNhliziyo Engaqondakali kaMariya.” ^[4]Homily, Fatima, Portugal, Meyi 13, 2010

Okuphawuleka kakhulu, uBenedict uthe ngomthandazo wakhe wokusheshiswa koNqobe:

Lokhu kulingana ngokulingana nokuthandazela kwethu ukufika koMbuso kaNkulunkulu. —Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ingxoxo NoPeter Seewald, k. 166

Yebo, ukugcwaliseka kwe- Baba wethu lapho umbuso wakhe uzofika futhi “Iyokwenziwa emhlabeni njengasezulwini.” Kuyavunywa, lapha kulapho abaningi be-eschatologists namuhla bathathe khona iphutha. Balinganisa “ukuza koMbuso” kanye parousia ekupheleni komhlaba. Kodwa-ke, noJesu wakusho lokho eminyakeni engama-2000 eyedlule lokho “Umbuso wezulu ususondele.” ^[5]I-Matt 3: 2 Okungukuthi, umbuso kaNkulunkulu ufikile, uyeza, futhi uzoza. Kungalokhu “kuza phakathi” kombuso kaKristu lapho u-Lady Wethu kanye nabaningi bama-mystics eminyaka edlule bebekhuluma ngesikhathi uMlobokazi kaKristu azolethwa ngaso ukuze afane nobungcwele bukaMariya, futhi nini…

KODWA KANJANI UMA BANGALunganga?

So Kuthiwani uma inkathi yokuthula yayikhona hhayi okuyingxenye yezikhathi zokugcina, lapho ngokusho komprofethi u-Isaya, zonke izizwe zizogobhozela endlini yeNkosi ngesikhathi sokuthula? ^[6]isib. U-Isaya 2: 2-4 Ngabe uJesu akashongo yini ukuthi ivangeli kumele lishunyayelwe “ezizweni zonke” ngaphambi kokuphela (Math 24:14) —into okuthiwa iSt.John Paul II noPapa Benedict bathi kusewumsebenzi omkhulu oqhubekayo?

Umsebenzi kaKristu uMhlengi, ophathiswe iSonto, usekude kakhulu ukuba uphothulwe. Njengoba iminyaka eyinkulungwane yesibili ngemuva kokuza kukaKrestu ifinyelela esiphethweni, umbono jikelele wohlanga lwesintu ukhombisa ukuthi lo msebenzi usaqala nokuthi kufanele sizinikele ngenhliziyo yethu yonke emsebenzini wawo. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Redemptoris Mission,n. 1

Kunezindawo zomhlaba ezisalinde ukuvangela kokuqala; abanye abayitholile, kodwa badinga ukungenelela okujulile; ezinye futhi lapho iVangeli lagxila khona kudala, zaveza isiko lobuKrestu beqiniso kepha lapho, emakhulwini eminyaka amuva nje — enezinto eziyinkimbinkimbi — inqubo yenkolo idale inkinga ebucayi yencazelo yokholo lobuKrestu ne okuyiBandla. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, uVespers Wokuqala weSolemnity kaSt. UPeter noPaul, ngoJuni 28, 2010

Lokhu okulindelwe ngenhla kuyingxenye yeSiko lethu eliNgcwele futhi kubonakala sengathi kusamele kufinyelele ekugcwalisekeni kwabo ekugcineni.

Ukuza kwe-eschatological kungafezwa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, noma ngabe kokubili kanye necala lokugcina elizolandulela "kubambezelekile". - ICatechism of the Catholic Church, n. 673

USt. Peter uqhubeka akhanyise okufanele kufike “kuze kufike isikhathi sokwenza konke lokho uNkulunkulu akukhuluma”.

Ukuza kukaMesiya okukhazimulayo kumisiwe ngawo wonke umzuzu womlando kuze kube yilapho amukelwa yibo bonke “abakwa-Israyeli”, ngoba “ukuqina kwehlele abakwa-Israyeli” “ngokungakholwa” kwabo kuJesu. USt. Peter uthi kumaJuda aseJerusalema emva kwePhentekoste: “Ngakho-ke phendukani, nibuye, ukuze kusulwe izono zenu, ukuze izikhathi zokuqabuleka angafika kusukela ebusweni beNkosi, nokuthi athumele uKristu obekelwe wena, uJesu, okumele izulu limamukele kuze kube yisikhathi ukumisa konke uNkulunkulu akukhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele kusukela endulo. ”  -CCC, n. 674

Ngakho-ke, ingabe lezi “zikhathi zokuqabuleka” kufanele ziqondwe njengeZulu — noma kunalokho ngabe zibhekisela enkathini yokuthula? Ngaphandle kokukhanya kwe-eschatological okulethwa “inkathi yokuthula”, kunzima ukuqonda ukuthi zizoba ngqo kanjani “izikhathi zokuqabuleka” ezizofaka phakathi abantu abangamaJuda. Futhi, lizoshunyayelwa kanjani iVangeli kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba lidala umhlambi munye, ngaphansi koMalusi munye, ^[7]isib. Johane 10:16 ngaphandle kokuba kube khona uhlobo oluthile "lwePhentekoste elisha" elenza ukuthi uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ufinyelele ezifundeni ezisogwini… uma kubhekwa ukuthi umhlaba usuphenduke ubuqaba futhi?

Asikwazi ukwamukela ngomoya ophansi sonke isintu esibuyele emuva ebuhedeni. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Ukushunyayelwa Okusha, Kwakha Impucuko Yothando; Ikheli elibhekiswe kubafundisi beKhathekisthi neNkolo, ngoDisemba 12, 2000

“Isikhathi sokuthula,” njengoba sichazwe ikakhulukazi ngabangcwele kanye nezimfihlakalo zaleli khulu leminyaka elidlule, ngokuqinisekile sinikeza ukukhanya okusha nokuqonda kulokhu. Noma kunjalo, Kuthiwani uma banephutha?

UMama wethu waseFatima uthembise ukuthi, “ekupheleni" wakhe “I-Immaculate Heart izonqoba futhi umhlaba uzonikezwa isikhathi sokuthula. ” Omunye umbhali usikisela ukuthi “ekugcineni” kubhekiswa “ekupheleni komhlaba.” Kodwa-ke, lokhu akunangqondo ngoba uMama wethu wayekubeka ngokusobala ukuthi, ngemuva kokuba zonke izicelo zakhe sezigcwalisiwe, okusho ukuthi, "ekugcineni", umhlaba uzonikezwa "inkathi" yokuthula. Ubuphakade abuyona inkathi. Kuphakade.

Abanye baphakamise ukuthi "inkathi yokuthula" isivele yenzekile ngokuwa kweSoviet Union nokuphela kwe- "Cold Impi. ” Kodwa-ke, lowo ngumbono ongathandeki ngoba, ngemuva kokuwa kodonga lwaseBerlin kwaba nokuqothulwa kohlanga eRwanda, elaliyiYugoslavia, naseSudan; bese kuba nobhadane lwezithombe zocansi nesehlukaniso esingenaphutha esihlasele imindeni; lokhu kulandelwe ukwanda kobugebengu obunodlame nokwanda okumangazayo kokuzibulala kwentsha nama-STD's; futhi-ke, hlobo luni lokuthula obelukhona esibelethweni njengoba manje izingane eziyizigidi eziyinkulungwane sezihlatshwe ngesihluku lapho ngokukhipha isisu? ^[8]qhathanisa LifeSiteNews Kungabonakala sengathi "inkathi yokuthula" isazofika. Ngokuqinisekile, sinakho hhayi zilalele izicelo zeNkosikazi Yethu, okusho ukuthi zibuyele kuNkulunkulu.

Omunye umbhali uqinisekisa ukuthi izitatimende ezenziwa ngabapapa bekhulu elidlule maqondana "nesikhathi sokuthula nobulungiswa" zibhekise ngqo ekuFikeni Kwesibili kukaKristu ekupheleni kwesikhathi nokumiswa okucacile koMbuso kaNkulunkulu waphakade eZulwini elisha futhi Umhlaba Omusha. Ngenkathi ngikhombisile kufayela lami le- incwadi eya kuBaba oNgcwele ukuthi izitatimende zikapapa zihambisana kanjani neNkambiso Engcwele yezikhathi zoFata beSonto Lokuqala mayelana "nenkathi yokuthula" eyiqiniso Ngaphakathi imingcele yesikhathi, Kuthiwani uma opapa babekhuluma ngeZulu?

Lapho-ke, kuzofanele ngithi, ulimi olukhethwe ngopapa lungajwayelekile, uma lungaphikisani, ukusho okuncane. Isibonelo, ngenkathi uPapa Benedict XVI ebiza intsha ukuthi ibe "ngabaprofethi bale nkathi entsha" ezayo, wathi kubo:

Ukunikezwa amandla nguMoya, nokusebenzisa umbono ocebile wokholo, isizukulwane esisha samaKristu siyabizwa Siza ekwakheni umhlaba lapho kwamukelwa khona isipho sikaNkulunkulu sempilo, uyahlonishwa futhi uyaziswa… Bathandekayo abasha, iNkosi ikucela ukuba nibe ngabaprofethi bale nkathi entsha ... —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Homily, World Day Day, eSydney, e-Australia, ngoJulayi 20, 2008

Uma lokhu kubhekisa eZulwini, njengoba abanye besho, kungamangaza abanye ukuthi iZulu lisakhiwa; ukuthi kuzofanele "sisize ukwakha umhlaba lapho isipho sikaNkulunkulu sokuphila samukelwa khona." Nganginombono wokuthi, eZulwini, isipho sempilo sase samukelekile. Kodwa-ke, lesi sitatimende senza umqondo ozwakalayo uma siqondwa njengenkathi yokunqoba kobuKristu emhlabeni evela ngemuva kwalesi siko samanje sokufa esichotshoziwe ngaphansi kwesithende sikaNkosikazi Wethu— “ukunqoba kwenhliziyo engenacala.”

Ngo-1957 kweyakhe U-Urbi et Orbi Ikheli lePhasika, uPapa Pius XII wathi:

Kepha nalobu busuku emhlabeni bukhombisa izimpawu ezicacile zokusa okuzayo, kosuku olusha oluthola ukwanga kokukhanya okusha nokukhazimula ngokwengeziwe Ilanga… Ukuvuka kukaJesu okusha kuyadingeka: uvuko lweqiniso, olungasabuni ubukhosi bokufa… Kubantu ngabanye, uKristu kumele abhubhise ubusuku besono esibi ngokuqala kokuphinda komusa. Emindenini, ubusuku bokunganaki nokuphola kumele bunikeze ilanga lothando. Emafemini, emadolobheni, ezizweni, emazweni okungaqondani nenzondo ubusuku kufanele bukhule bukhanye njengemini, nox sicut die illuminabitur, umbango uyophela futhi kube nokuthula. -U-Urbi et Orbi ikheli, Mashi 2nd, 1957; v Vatican.va

So Kuthiwani uma ayibikho “inkathi yokuthula” futhi lokhu kubhekise esimweni seZulu, njengoba kusho omunye umbhali? Lapho-ke amaKhatholika angakuthola kukuxaka ukuthi kuzoba khona "izimboni" ingunaphakade. Kodwa-ke, imfundiso yenkolo “yenkathi yokuthula” ihambisana ngokuphelele namazwi kaPius XII athi, emva kokufa kukaMphikukristu, kuzoba nalokho uSt. John akubiza ngokuthi "uvuko lokuqala" lapho abangcwele bazobusa khona noKristu phakathi nenkathi lokuthula, “iminyaka eyinkulungwane.” ^[9]isib. IsAm 20: 1-6

Manje… siyaqonda ukuthi isikhathi seminyaka eyinkulungwane sikhonjiswa ngolimi olungokomfanekiso. —St. UJustin Martyr, Ingxoxo noTrypho, Ch. 81, Obaba beBandla, Amagugu ObuKristu

Njengoba ngichazile encwadini yami eya kuBaba oNgcwele, izimfihlakalo ezivunyiwe zekhulu lama-20 zikhulume ngalokhu kubhujiswa "kobusuku besono esibi" lapho "ukuqala komusa" kutholakala kabusha. Okutholwayo futhi "yisipho" sokuhlala kwiNtando Yaphezulu u-Adam no-Eva, kanye noMary, i-New Eve, abayijabulela, ngokusho kwenceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisia Picarretta. ^[10]qhathanisa Opapa, Isiprofetho, ne-Picarretta Lesi yisimo sokuhlangana okungaqondakali noNkulunkulu esizolungisa iSonto ukuze uJesu….

… Angazethula kuye esontweni ebukhazikhazini, engenabala noma mibimbi noma yini enjalo, ukuze abe ngcwele futhi angabi nasici… (Efe 5:25, 27)

Kuyinyunyana yemvelo efanayo naleyo yokuhlangana kwezulu, ngaphandle kokuthi epharadesi umgubuzelo ofihla ubuNkulunkulu uyanyamalala… - UVenerable Conchita, okukhulunywe ngaye ku- Umqhele kanye nokuqedwa kwayo Yonke Imisebenzi, nguDaniel O'Connor, k. 11-12; nb. URonda Chervin, Hamba nami, Jesu

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

Le mpicabadala imane nje ibe imfihlakalo yothando izimbali eSontweni.

Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyakuhlala othandweni lwami, njengalokho nami ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba futhi ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. (Johane 15:10)

Ukuhlala eNtandweni kaNkulunkulu yobuNkulunkulu yisimo sobumbano esisondele kangako ukuthi, yize kungesikho ukuphelela kweZulu kudonsela izulu emphefumulweni njengokuthi ngisho “amaphutha afihlekile” omuntu aqedwa ngomlilo wothando lwaphezulu — njengoba nje into yasezulwini esondela kakhulu elangeni idliwa ukushisa kwayo ngaphandle kokuthinta ubuso belanga .

Uthando lumboza inqwaba yezono. (1 Pet. 4: 8)

Yikho kanye lokhu kungabi nokuqonda kwemfundiso yenkolo eyimfihlakalo okuholele abahlaziyi abaningi ukucabanga ukuthi noma yimuphi umbono wesigaba emlandweni lapho iSonto lilungiselelwa khona nguMoya oNgcwele waba yisimo sokuqala sokupheleliswa ngakho-ke “yi-millenarianism.” ^[11]qhathanisa IMillenarianism: Iyini futhi ayikho

Kodwa-ke, uPapa Benedict XVI wakuchaza kahle:

… Siyabona ukuthi “izulu” kulapho intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwa khona, nokuthi lowo “mhlaba” uba “yizulu” —eyi, indawo yobukhona bothando, ubuhle, iqiniso nebuhle bukaNkulunkulu — kuphela uma esemhlabeni intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Izethameli Ezijwayelekile, ngoFebhuwari 1, 2012, eVatican City

UJesu wabuye wathi: “Umbuso wezulu useduze.” Empeleni, umuntu angasho ngokufanele ukuthi “inkathi yokuthula” isiqalile kakade ezinhliziyweni zabanye abathembekile, ngoba ilapho kanye uMbuso kaNkulunkulu utholakala ngaphakathi “kwamatshe aphilayo” eSonto.

Lesi "sipho sokuphila ngentando yaphezulu" uLuisa asiphrofetha ^[12]qhathanisa Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu kuzovela “enkathini entsha” (ezinye izimfihlakalo eziningi eziphawuleka njengoVenerable Conchita, uMartha Robin, uSt. Hannibal, uMaria Esperanza, njll. wakhuluma ngokusobala ngale “nkathi entsha”) futhi kungenzeka kube yikho okwaholela uPius X ukuba akhale :

Hawu! lapho kuwo wonke amadolobha nemizana umthetho weNkosi uthembekile kuqashelwe, lapho inhlonipho ikhonjiswa ngezinto ezingcwele, lapho i- AmaSakramente zivamile, futhi izimiso zempilo yobuKristu zigcwaliseka, ziyoba khona impela asisekho isidingo sokuthi sisebenze ngokuqhubekayo ukubona zonke izinto zibuyiselwa kuKristu… Bese kuthi-ke? Ekugcineni, kuzocaca kubo bonke ukuthi iSonto, njengalokhu lasungulwa nguKristu, kumele lijabulele inkululeko egcwele nokukhululeka kulo lonke igunya langaphandle… Konke lokhu, Bazalwane Abahloniphekile, Siyakholelwa futhi sikulindele ngokukholwa okungenakunyakaziswa. —UPAPPI PIUS X, E Supremi, Encyclical "Ekubuyisweni Kwezinto Zonke", n. 14, 6-7

Kodwa Kuthiwani uma akufanele ibe khona “inkathi yokuthula” yesikhashana enjalo? Lapho-ke amazwi kaPius X ayiphupho (yize lamagama abhalwa encwadini ye-Encyclical, okuyimfundiso yezimantshi yeSonto.) Ngoba ubhekise esikhathini sokuthula nenkululeko “lapho amaSakramente evame ukuhanjwa.” Kukhona umkhondo wakho: amaSakramente angawo yesikhashana ukuhleleka, hhayi iZulu; zizophela phakade njengoba uJesu ngaleso sikhathi ezoba khona ngokwenyama naphakade futhi ahlanganiswe nomzimba Wakhe Oyimfihlakalo. Ngakho-ke, lesi sikhathi sokuthula akhuluma ngaso asikwazi ukubhekisa eZulwini, kodwa ehoreni elibalulekile esikhathini esizayo.

Uma ufika, kuzoba yihora elinesizotha, elilodwa elikhulu elinemiphumela hhayi kuphela ekubuyiselweni koMbuso kaKristu, kodwa futhi 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

Kepha, Kuthiwani uma kwakungafanele kube khona “inkathi yokuthula”? Lapho-ke ukubhekisela kukaPius XI “ngehora” elihloniphekile kuyindlela exakile yokuchaza isimo saphakade senjabulo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bekungeke yini kungabi namandla ukusho ukuthi leli “hora” lizoletha “ukuthula okufiswa kakhulu emphakathini” uma ebhekise eZulwini? "Ukuhlanganiswa"? Kuyisimo esididayo uma kubhekiswa eMbusweni waphakade.

Kodwa-ke, uma umuntu ebengasebenzisa imfundiso yenkolo efanele “yenkathi yokuthula” ngokusho koFata BeSonto Lokuqala, amazwi kaPius X no-XI anengqondo ngokuphelele. Ziyithemba lesiprofetho lokuza “Isikhathi sokuthula” esizosungula “umbuso kaNkulunkulu” ezifundeni ezisogwini, futhi “esikholwa futhi sikulindele ngokholo olungazanyazanyiswa.”

So, isibusiso esabikezelwa ngokungangabazeki sisho isikhathi soMbuso Wakhe... Labo abona uJohane, umfundi weNkosi, [basitshele] ukuthi bezwe kuye ukuthi iNkosi ifundise kanjani futhi ikhuluma kanjani ngalezi zikhathi… —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); Ama-Adersus Haereses, U-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4, Obaba beBandla, Ukushicilelwa kweCIMA

Lapha, uSt. U-Irenaeus, osinika i- Okungajwayelekile Ubufakazi bokuthuthuka okuqondile kwe-St John's Apocalypse, kukhuluma "ngesikhathi" esizayo lapho uMbuso kaNkulunkulu uzobusa emhlabeni ngendlela entsha ^[13]qhathanisa Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu- okusho ukuthi, intando kaNkulunkulu izobusa "Emhlabeni njengasezulwini." UJohn Paul Obusisiwe ubuye wasebenzisa amatemu wesikhashana maqondana nalokhu:

Kwangathi kungasa wonke umuntu isikhathi yokuthula nenkululeko, i isikhathi weqiniso, wobulungiswa nethemba. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, umyalezo weRadio, iVatican City, ngo-1981

Futhi, ulimi olukhethwe lapha lukhomba "isikhathi". Cabanga ngamazwi kaPawulu VI ayisiprofetho:

Laba bafel 'ukholo base-Afrika bamemezela ukuqala kwenkathi entsha. Ukube nje ingqondo yomuntu ibingaqondiswa hhayi ekushushisweni nasezingxabanweni zenkolo kepha ekuzameni kabusha kobuKristu nempucuko! -Umbhalo wamahora, Umq. III, ikhasi. 1453, iSikhumbuzo sikaCharles Lwanga nabangane

"UbuKrestu" kanye "nempucuko" amagama esiwasebenzisayo ukubhekisa kokuhlelekile ngokomoya nangokwenyama. Izulu ngeke kube ukuzalwa kabusha kobuKristu kepha Umshado lamaKristu anoJesu Kristu, uMyeni. Igama elithi ubuKrestu empeleni lizophelelwa yisikhathi eZulwini ngoba kuyincazelo esiyisebenzisayo ukukhomba iSonto ezinkolweni ezahlukahlukene ngokohlelo lwesikhashana. Futhi, uma uPaul VI wayekhuluma ngeZulu, khona-ke kunweba isichazamazwi se-eschatology njengoba sazi.

Ngenhliziyo evulekile ngokuthembakalayo kulo mbono wethemba, ngincenga eNkosini inqwaba yezipho zikaMoya zeBandla lonke, ukuze “isikhathi sentwasahlobo” soMkhandlu Wesibili weVatican sithole kule millennium entsha “isikhathi sasehlobo,” ukuthi kusho ukuthuthuka kwayo ngokuphelele. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, General Audience, Septhemba 23rd, 1998; v Vatican.va

Lapha futhi, ngaphandle kwemfundiso yenkolo “yenkathi yokuthula”, isitatimende sikaBaba Ongcwele sibonakala siyindlela eyinqaba yokuthi “Izulu.” Kunalokho, “isikhathi sasehlobo” soMkhandlu Wesibili WaseVatican empeleni ukugcwaliseka kwalokhu kuphelela kobuKristu okuqala uJohn XXIII abiza ngakho umkhandlu kwasekuqaleni:

Umsebenzi kaPapa othobekile "ukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abaphelele," okufana ncamashi nomsebenzi weBaptist, ongumphathi wakhe futhi othatha kuye igama lakhe. Futhi akunakwenzeka ukucabanga ukuphelela okuphezulu futhi okuyigugu ukwedlula lokho kokunqoba kokuthula kobuKristu, okungukuthula kwenhliziyo, ukuthula ekuhlelekeni komphakathi, empilweni, enhlalakahleni, ekuhloniphaneni, nakubuzalwane lezizwe. —UPOPA JOHN XXIII, Ukuthula KwamaKristu Wangempela, Disemba 23, 1959; www

Ekubhalweni kwami, UFaustina, nosuku lweNkosi, “isikhathi sasehlobo” okukhulunywa ngaso lapha sasizohambisana “nemini yasemini” “yosuku lweNkosi.” Lapha futhi, sibona izikole zemicabango ezimbili ezingafani: esisodwa, ukuthi "usuku lweNkosi" usuku lokugcina lwamahora angama-24 emhlabeni. Kodwa ngokusho koFata BeSonto bokuqala, imfundiso yabo — evumelana nombono kapapa wenkathi entsha esekuseni — ukuthi “usuku lweNkosi” inkathi lokuthula lobulungiswa.

… Lolu suku lwethu, oluboshwe ekuphumeni nasekushoneni kwelanga, luyisibonakaliso salolo suku olukhulu umjikelezo weminyaka eyinkulungwane uncike ngalo emikhawulweni yawo. —ULactantius, Obaba beSonto: I-Divine Institutes, iNcwadi VII, Isahluko 14, Catholic Encyclopedia; www.newadvent.org

Futhi,

Bheka, uSuku lweNkosi luyakuba yiminyaka eyinkulungwane. —Ingxenye kaBarnaba, Obaba beBandla, Ch. 15

Yize kuvunyelwe impela kumaKhatholika ukubamba noma yikuphi ukuma maqondana nalokho okwenzeka “ngosuku lweNkosi” njengoba iSonto lingazange lenze isimemezelo esicacile, okubonakala kungamukeleki kimi yilabo abangavumeli abanye ukuba baphakamise ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi inkolo ingase ibe khona “Inkathi yokuthula.” Bobabili uKhadinali Ratzinger uqobo, ngenkathi eyinhloko ye-CDF, kanye nekhomishini yezenkolo ngo-1952 eyahlanganisa Imfundiso yeSonto LamaKatolika, bakhiphe izitatimende zobumantshi ^[14]isib. Njengoba umsebenzi ocashuniwe unezimpawu zokuvunywa kweSonto, okungukuthi, i- sokunyatheliswa futhi nihil obstat, kungukuzivocavoca kweMagisterium. Lapho umbhishobhi ngamunye enikeza isishayamthetho esisemthethweni seSonto, futhi uPapa noma umgwamanda wababhishobhi bengavumelani nokunikezwa kwalolu phawu, kungukusebenzisa iMagisterium ejwayelekile. ukuze “inkathi yokuthula” isavulekele kakhulu amandla okungenzeka, ukuthi kusengaba khona…

… Ithemba lokunqoba okukhulu kukaKristu lapha emhlabeni ngaphambi kokuphela kokuphela kwezinto zonke. Isenzeko esinjalo asishiywanga ngaphandle, asinakwenzeka, akusikho konke okuqinisekile ukuthi ngeke kube khona isikhathi eside sobuKristu obunqobayo ngaphambi kokuphela. Uma ngaphambi kwalesosiphelo kuzobakhona inkathi yobungcwele bokunqoba, isikhathi esithe xaxa noma esingaphansi, umphumela onjalo awuyikulethwa ukubonakala komuntu kaKrestu ngobukhulu kepha ngokusebenza kwalawo mandla okungcweliswa asebenzayo manje, uMoya oNgcwele kanye namaSakramente eBandla. -Imfundiso yeSonto LamaKhatholika: Isifingqo seMfundiso yamaKhatholika, The MacMillan Company, 1952, ikhasi. 1140

Kuyangixaka ukuthi kungani kungenjalo amaKatolika athembekile akhethe ukungazinaki lezi zitatimende zobumantshi.

Abanye ababhali bafisa ukuchaza "iPhentekoste elisha" elizayo, "inkathi yokuthula" ethenjiswe eFatima, kanye "nesikhathi sentwasahlobo" noma "isikhathi sasehlobo" sobuKristu njengokuhambisana nokuza kukaJesu kokugcina ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Mina ngokwami ​​ngikholelwa ukuthi lezi zikhundla ziyindlela exakile yokumane uthi "Izulu" futhi ngimane ngingawuchazi umongo wesikhashana la magama esiprofetho enziwe ngawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abawanaki ngokuphelele oFata beSonto bokuqala, imfundiso yenkolo yokuthakazelisa nokusebenzisa izinsizakusebenza, izibuko zikaMariya ezivunyiwe, kanye nobufakazi obunamandla nezimfundiso zabaningi bezimfundiso zesimanje ezivunyiwe. ^[15]qhathanisa Ingabe UJesu Uyeza Ngempela? Yize kunjalo, njengoba umbuzo uhlala uvulekile, into ebaluleke kakhulu ukugcina izinkulumo mpikiswano ezinje ngemfundiso yenkolo kanye nokuhloniphana.

Iqiniso ukuthi amalungiselelo oSuku lweNkosi yiwona esifanayo, noma ngabe aqukethe isikhathi sokunqoba sobungcwele noma cha. Isizathu ukuthi, nsuku zonke, nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, noma ngubani kithi angahlangana ubuso nobuso noMdali wethu. Iningi lenu uma lifunda lokhu cishe lizongena ekwahlulelweni kwenu phambi kukaNkulunkulu eminyakeni engama-50 noma ngaphansi. Ngakho-ke isidingo sokuhlala “esimweni somusa,” endaweni yesihe nentethelelo kwabanye, futhi njengenceku noma ngabe ukuphi, siyadingeka. Lokhu kungatholakala ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngempilo yomkhuleko, ukuzisola, ukubamba iqhaza kumaSakramente, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukuthembela othandweni nasesiheni sikaNkulunkulu.

Okokugcina, okuzayo kuzofika… futhi luzofika “Njengesela ebusuku.”
