Abantu babememeza bethi “Jesu, Jesu” futhi begijima besiya nxazonke. —Isisulu sokuzamazama komhlaba eHaiti ngemuva kokuzamazama komhlaba okungu-7.0, ngoJanuwari 12, 2010, iReuters News Agency
IN izikhathi ezizayo, umusa kaNkulunkulu uzokwembulwa ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene — kepha hhayi zonke ezilula. Futhi, ngikholwa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi sisezingeni lokuthi sibone i Izimpawu zeRevolution ngokuqinisekile ivulwe… the ukusebenza kanzima izinhlungu ekupheleni kwalesi sikhathi. Ngalokhu, ngiqonde ukuthi impi, ukuwa komnotho, indlala, izinhlupho, ukushushiswa, kanye no Ukuzamazama Okukhulu zisondele, kepha uNkulunkulu kuphela owazi izikhathi nezinkathi.

Kuyoba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla, indlala, nezifo ezindaweni ngezindawo; futhi izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinamandla zizovela ezulwini. (Luka 21:11)
Yebo, ngiyazi — kuyezwakala “njengokubhujiswa nobumnyama.” Kepha ngezindlela eziningi, yi kuphela ngethemba ukuthi eminye imiphefumulo inakho, futhi mhlawumbe ukuphela kwendlela esele yokubuyisa izizwe kuBaba. Ngoba kunomehluko phakathi kokuhlala esikweni eliwubuqaba ngokungafani nesiko elinakho ukuhlubuka—Ulowo owenqabe iVangeli. Singabokugcina, ngakho-ke, sizibeke endleleni ye Indodana yolahleko okuwukuphela kwethemba langempela kwakuwukuthola ubumpofu bakhe ngokuphelele… [2]qhathanisa Umzuzwana Wolahleko Ozayo
IMIPHUMELA YOKUFA
Sonke sizizwile izindaba zabasindile kokuhlangenwe nakho okusondele kokufa. Ingqikithi ejwayelekile ukuthi, ngokuphazima kweso, babona izimpilo zabo zikhanya phambi kwamehlo abo. Isisulu sokuphahlazeka kwendiza e-Utah silandise lokhu okwenzekayo:
Uchungechunge lwezithombe, amagama, imibono, ukuqonda… Kwakuyisigameko esivela empilweni yami. Kwakhanya phambi kwami ngokushesha okumangalisayo, futhi ngakuqonda ngokuphelele futhi ngafunda kukho. Kwafika esinye isigcawu, nesinye, nesinye, futhi ngangibona impilo yami yonke, umzuzwana ngamunye. Futhi angizange ngiqonde nje izehlakalo; Ngibakhululile. Ngaba yilowo muntu futhi, ngenza lezo zinto kumama, noma ngisho lezo zinto kubaba noma abafowethu noma odadewethu, futhi ngangazi ukuthi kungani, ngokokuqala ngqá, ngangizenzile noma ngazisho. Konke akuchazi ukugcwala kwalesi sibuyekezo. Kubandakanya ulwazi ngami, ukuthi zonke izincwadi emhlabeni bezingakwazi ukuqukatha. Ngangiqonda zonke izizathu zakho konke engangikwenza empilweni yami. -Olunye uhlangothi, nguMichael H. Brown, k. 8
Imvamisa, abantu bake bahlangabezana “nokukhanyisa” okunjalo ngaphambi kokufa noma lokho okubonakala njengokufa okuseduze.
UMUSA EKUJABULISENI
Qonda engizama ukukusho: the Isivunguvungu Esikhulu okukhona nalokhu okuzayo kuletha nezinxushunxushu. Kepha yikho kanye lokhu kubhujiswa uNkulunkulu azokusebenzisa ukudonsela imiphefumulo kuYe okungenzeka ukuthi babengeke baphenduke. Ngenkathi kudilika imibhoshongo yeWorld Trade Center, mingaki imiphefumulo ekhala izulu ngenkathi ibhekene nezikhathi ezimbalwa zokugcina zokufa kwayo? Bangaki abaphendukile njengoba iSiphepho uKatrina, uHarvey noma u-Irma sibabhekene nokufa? Mingaki imiphefumulo ebiza igama leNkosi njengoba i-tsunami yase-Asia noma yaseJapan yashanela phezu kwamakhanda abo?
… Futhi kuzosindiswa wonke umuntu obiza igama leNkosi. (IzEnzo 2:21)
UNkulunkulu unendaba kakhulu nesiphetho sethu saphakade kunokunethezeka kwethu kwesikhashana. Uma Intando Yakhe evumayo ivumela izinhlekelele ezinje ukuthi zenzeke, ngubani owaziyo ukuthi yini ayifaka kumzuzu wokugcina? Lapho sizwa ama-akhawunti avela kulabo abaye baba namabhulashi ngokufa, kungabonakala sengathi kukhona umusa omkhulu wokungenani eminye imiphefumulo. Mhlawumbe lawa ngamusa owawubafanele imithandazo nokuzidela kwabanye, noma isenzo sothando ekuqaleni kwempilo yabo. YiZulu kuphela elaziyo, kodwa neNkosi…
Siyazi ukuthi zonke izinto zisebenzela okuhle kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu… (Rom 8: 5)
Mhlawumbe umphefumulo “owawuthanda uNkulunkulu” kuze kube yilapho belandela ngokweqiniso nonembeza unembeza wabo, kodwa ngaphandle kwephutha labo "lenkolo" yabo enqatshiwe, uzonikezwa umusa wokuphenduka ngaphambi kokuba kuvele inhlekelele (bheka iCatechism n. 867- 848), kwe…
Uthando lumboza inqwaba yezono. (1 Pt 4: 8)
Lokhu akusho ukuthi umphefumulo kufanele ulinde kuze kube umzuzu wokugcina ukuze uncike emuseni onjalo. Imiphefumulo eyenza lokho igembula nemiphefumulo yayo yaphakade.
UNkulunkulu unomusa, nokho, futhi uzimisele ukunika ukuphila okuphakade kulowo ophendukayo ngisho “ngomzuzwana wokugcina.” UJesu walandisa umzekeliso wamaqembu amabili ezisebenzi, amanye aqala ekuseni ngovivi, futhi amanye angena “ngehora lokugcina” ezosebenza. Lapho kufika isikhathi sokubakhokhela, umnikazi wesivini wabanika umholo olinganayo kubo bonke. Iqembu lokuqala labasebenzi lakhononda:
'Laba bokugcina basebenze ihora elilodwa nje kuphela, futhi ubenze balingana nathi, esathwala umthwalo wosuku nokushisa.' Wathi komunye wabo ephendula, 'Mngani wami, angikukhohlisi. Awuvumelananga nami ngeholo elijwayelekile lansuku zonke? Thatha okungokwakho uhambe. Kuthiwani uma ngifisa ukunika lo wokugcina okufanayo nawe? Noma angikhululekile yini ukwenza njengoba ngifisa ngemali yami? Ngabe unomona ngoba nginomusa? (Mat 20: 12-15)
Ngemuva kwalokho [isela elihle] lathi, “Jesu, ngikhumbule lapho ungena embusweni wakho.” Waphendula wathi kuye, “Amen, ngithi kuwe, namuhla uzokuba nami ePharadesi.” (Luka 23: 42-43)
I-HOPE
UPaul Paul ufundisa ukuthi kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ukuthi bonke basindiswe. Izulu-ke, lenza konke okusemandleni kulelihora lokugcina ukuhlela ithuba lokusindiswa kwemiphefumulo ngokwenkululeko evuma. Izijeziso ziyeza lapho okuhle nokubi kuzothathwa khona. Kepha kufanele kusilethele ithemba ukuthi, ngaphandle kobumnyama obuzayo, ukukhanya kuzonikezwa ngezindlela esingenakuziqonda. Izigidi zemiphefumulo zingashabalala uma bezingaqhubeka njengoba bezinjalo kuze kube manje, ziphila ngezinsuku zazo zokugcina kuze kube sebekhulile. Kepha ngokuvivinywa nosizi, ukukhanyiswa nokuphenduka, empeleni bangasindiswa ngeMercy ezingozini.
Isihe sikaNkulunkulu kwesinye isikhathi sithinta isoni ngomzuzu wokugcina ngendlela emangalisayo futhi engaqondakali. Ngaphandle, kubonakala sengathi konke kulahlekile, kepha akunjalo. Umphefumulo, okhanyiswe ngemisebe yomusa kaNkulunkulu wokugcina onamandla, uphendukela kuNkulunkulu ngomzuzu wokugcina ngamandla amakhulu othando okuthi, ngokuphazima kweso, wamukele intethelelo yesono nesijeziso, kuyilapho ngaphandle ingakhombisi ukuphenduka noma ukuzisola, ngoba imiphefumulo [ngaleso sikhathi] ayisabhekani nezinto zangaphandle. O, yeka indlela ukuqonda okungaphezu kokuqonda ngayo! Kepha - okwesabekayo! - kukhona nemiphefumulo eyenqaba ngokuzithandela nangokwazi futhi idelele lo musa! Yize umuntu esezokufa, uNkulunkulu onomusa unikeza umphefumulo lowo mzuzu ocacile ongaphakathi, ukuze kuthi uma umphefumulo uzimisele, ube nethuba lokubuyela kuNkulunkulu. Kepha kwesinye isikhathi, ukukhohlakala emiphefumulweni kukhulu kangangokuthi ngokwazi bakhetha isihogo; [ngaleyo ndlela] benza ize yonke imithandazo eminye imiphefumulo abayenzela uNkulunkulu kanye nemizamo kaNkulunkulu uqobo… —Diary kaSt Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, n. 1698
BUYELA EMZUZWINI WAMANJE
Abanye abantu bangafunda imibhalo efana UFatima, kanye nokushushuluza okukhulu futhi ubenze babonakale njengabenza uvalo noma bekhathazeka ngokungadingekile ngekusasa. Kepha njengoba ne-paranoia kungewona umbono olinganiselayo, kanjalo nokuziba Izwi likaNkulunkulu lembulwa kubaprofethi Bakhe. UJesu wakhuluma obala ngezenzakalo ezimangazayo ezazizohambisana “nezikhathi zokuphela”, futhi ngale njongo:
Nginitshelile lokhu, ukuze, lapho kufika isikhathi sabo, nikhumbule ukuthi nganitshela; lokhu ngikukhulume kini ukuze nibe nokuthula kimi. Emhlabeni uzoba nenkinga, kodwa yiba nesibindi, ngiwunqobile umhlaba. (Johane 16: 4, 33)
Nami ngibhala lezi zinto ukuze kuthi lapho zenzeka, ukhumbule ukuthi iZulu lazibikezela — futhi ukhumbule ukuthi uNkulunkulu uthembisa isiphephelo nomusa kuye ongowakhe. Ngakho-ke, njengoba umhlaba uqhubeka nokulahla uNkulunkulu — nemiphumela yalokhu iqhubeka nokuvela — isimo esifanele ukuba ngukukhanya Kwakhe kwabanye abakuzungezile. Futhi lokhu kungenzeka kuphela ngokuhlala ku- umzuzu wamanje, by Ukuphila umsebenzi wesikhashana ngomoya we umkhuleko nothando. Akukona ukwesaba kwakho namalungiselelo akho okuzothinta abanye ngobukhona nothando lukaNkulunkulu, kepha injabulo yakho, ukuthula, nokulalela kwakho uKristu, noma ngabe kukhona phakathi kwesiyaluyalu.
Lapho ngibheka ikusasa, ngiyesaba. Kepha kungani ungene esikhathini esizayo? Isikhathi samanje kuphela esiyigugu kimi, njengoba ikusasa lingaze lingene emphefumulweni wami. —USt. UFaustina, Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 2
