Ukuqonda isiphambano

 

ISIKHUMBUZO SOKUDABUKA KWETHU

 

"QAPHELA inyuse. ” Yimpendulo ejwayelekile yamaKhatholika esiyinika abanye abahluphekayo. Kuneqiniso nesizathu sokuthi kungani sikusho, kepha thina ngempela siqonde ukuthi sisho ukuthini? Ngabe siyawazi ngempela amandla okuhlupheka in UKristu? Ngabe ngempela “siyasithola” isiphambano?

Abaningi bethu banjalo Esaba Ucingo, wesaba Ukungena Ekujuleni ngoba sinomuzwa wokuthi ubuKrestu ekugcineni kungumoya wokuthambekela lapho sibeka khona obunye ubumnandi bempilo, futhi kalula nje, sihlupheke. Kepha iqiniso ukuthi, noma ngabe ungumKristu noma cha, uzohlupheka kulokhu kuphila. Ukugula, amashwa, ukudumala, ukufa… kuza kuwo wonke umuntu. Kepha okwenziwa nguJesu ngeSiphambano, ukuguqula konke lokhu kube yimpumelelo ekhazimulayo. 

Esiphambanweni kulele ukunqoba koLuthando… Kuyo, ekugcineni, kulele iqiniso eliphelele ngomuntu, isiqu sangempela somuntu, usizi lwakhe nobukhulu bakhe, ukubaluleka kwakhe nenani alikhokhelwa. —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (ST. JOHN PAUL II) kusuka Isibonakaliso Sokuphikisana, 1979 k. ?

Ngivumele-ke, ukuba ngichithe leso sigwebo ukuze ngethemba sithole ukubaluleka namandla weqiniso ekwamukeleni ukuhlupheka kwethu. 

 

IQINISO ELIPHELELE NGOMUNTU

I. “ukukhula komuntu ngokweqiniso… ukubaluleka kwakhe”

Iqiniso lokuqala nelibaluleke kakhulu leSiphambano yilokho uyathandwa. Omunye empeleni ufele ukuthanda wena, uqobo. 

Ngokuqondile ngokucabanga ngegazi likaKristu eliyigugu, uphawu lothando lwakhe lokuzinikela (c. Jn 13: 1), okholwayo ufunda ukwazisa nokwazisa cishe isithunzi saphezulu sawo wonke umuntu futhi angababaza ngokumangala okuvuselelwe nokwazisa: 'Umuntu uyigugu elingakanani emehlweni oMdali, uma ezuze uMkhululi omkhulu kangaka' futhi uma uNkulunkulu 'anikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa' ukuze lowo muntu 'angabhubhi kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade'! ” —ST. UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, I-Evangelium Vitae, hhayi. 25

Ukubaluleka kwethu kulele eqinisweni lokuthi senziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Ngamunye wethu, umzimba, umphefumulo, nomoya, kuyisibonakaliso soMdali uqobo. Lesi “sithunzi saphezulu” asigcinanga nje ngokudala umona nenzondo kaSathane esizweni sabantu, kodwa okwagcina kuholele uYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele ukuba benze itulo lesenzo esikhulu kangaka sothando lwesintu esiwile. Njengoba uJesu asho kuSt. Faustina, 

Uma ukufa Kwami kungazange kukuqinisekise ngothando Lwami, yini ezokwenza?  —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 580

 

II. “Usizi lwakhe… nenani amkhokhele lona”

Isiphambano asivezi nje kuphela ukubaluleka komuntu, kodwa nobukhulu bosizi lwakhe, okungukuthi, i ukungathí sina yesono. Isono saba nemiphumela emibili yokulibala. Okokuqala ukuthi kuqede ubumsulwa bemiphefumulo yethu kangangoba kwavele kwaphula amandla okuhlangana ngokomoya noNkulunkulu, ongcwele ngokuphelele. Okwesibili, isono — okuwukuphazamiseka kokuhleleka nemithetho elawula umphefumulo nendawo yonke — kwaletha ukufa nezinxushunxushu ekudalweni. Ake ungitshele: yimuphi owesilisa noma owesifazane, kuze kube namuhla, ongakwazi ukubuyisela isimo sobungcwele bomphefumulo wakhe bebodwa? Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngubani ongamisa ukumasha kokufa nokubola umuntu azenzele yena nendawo yonke? Umusa kuphela ongenza lokhu, ngamandla kaNkulunkulu kuphela. 

Ngoba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, futhi lokhu akuveli kini; kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu… (Efe 2: 8)

Ngakho-ke, lapho sibheka esiphambanweni, asigcini nje ngokubona uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngathi, kodwa izindleko lokuhlubuka kwethu. Izindleko zingenxa yokuthi, uma sidalwe "ngesithunzi saphezulu", khona-ke kuphela Divine kungabuyisa leso sithunzi esiwile. 

Ngokuba uma ngesiphambeko salowo munye abaningi bafa, ikakhulu kangakanani umusa kaNkulunkulu nesipho somusa womuntu munye uJesu Kristu kuchichimela abaningi. (Rom 5:15)

 

III. “Ubukhulu bakhe”

Futhi manje sifika esicini esimangalisa kakhulu somhlatshelo kaKristu esiphambanweni: kwakungeyona nje isipho ukusisindisa, kodwa isimemo sokubamba iqhaza ekusindisweni kwabanye. Bunjalo ubukhulu bamadodana namadodakazi kaNkulunkulu. 

Iqiniso ukuthi kwimfihlakalo yeZwi elisesimweni somuntu kuphela lapho imfihlakalo yomuntu ithola ukukhanya… UKristu… wembula umuntu ngokuphelele kuye futhi wenza ubizo lwakhe oluphakeme lucace. -I-Gaudium et Spes, IVictoria II, n. 22

Lapha kulele ukuqonda “kwamaKatolika” ngokuhlupheka: UJesu akazange akususe ngesiphambano, kodwa wakhombisa ukuthi ungumuntu kanjani ukuhlupheka kuba yindlela eya ekuphileni okuphakade kanye nokubonakaliswa kokugcina kothando. Noma kunjalo, 

UKristu wakufezekisa ukuhlengwa ngokuphelele futhi wafika emikhawulweni kodwa ngasikhathi sinye akazange akuqede…. kubukeka kuyingxenye yomongo wokuhlupheka kukaKristu okuhlengayo ukuthi lokhu kuhlupheka kudinga ukuthi kuqedwe ngokungayeki. —ST. UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros, n. 3, v Vatican.va

Kepha kungaqedwa kanjani uma ngabe esevele wanyukela ezulwini? USt. Paul uyaphendula:

Ngiyathokoza ezinhluphekweni zami ngenxa yakho, futhi enyameni yami ngigcwalisa okusilele ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, okuyisonto… (Col 1:24)

Ngoba izimfihlakalo zikaJesu azikenziwa ngokuphelele futhi zigcwaliseke. Aphelele, empeleni, asesimweni sikaJesu, kodwa hhayi kithi, angamalungu akhe, noma eSontweni, okuwumzimba wakhe ongaqondakali. —St. UJohn Elies, qaphela "EMbusweni KaJesu", Imfundo yamahora, IVol IV, ikhasi 559

Yini uJesu kuphela ongakwenza yi- sokunconywa kuso sonke isintu umusa nokuxolelwa okungasenza sikwazi ukuphila phakade. Kepha kunikwe abakhe umzimba ongaqondakali , okokuqala, ukuthola lezi zinzuzo ngokholo, bese-ke, ukusabalalisa lezi zinsizakusebenza eziya ku- umhlaba, ngaleyo ndlela ube "isakramente" kukodwa. Lokhu kufanele kushintshe kithi incazelo "yeSonto".

Umzimba kaKristu awuyona nje iqoqo lamaKrestu. Kuyinsimbi ephilayo yokuhlengwa — ukwelulwa kukaJesu Kristu sonke isikhathi nendawo. Uyaqhubeka nomsebenzi Wakhe wokusindisa ngelungu ngalinye lomzimba Wakhe. Lapho umuntu ekuqonda lokhu, uyabona ukuthi umqondo wokuthi “unikele ngakho” akuyona nje impendulo yezenkolo embuzweni wokuhlupheka kwabantu, kepha kunalokho ubizo lokubamba iqhaza ekusindisweni komhlaba. -UJason Evert, umbhali, USanta John Paul Omkhulu, Izithandwa Zakhe Ezihlanu; k. 177

Njengesidlo esingcwele, iSonto liyithuluzi likaKristu. "Uthathwe nguye futhi njengethuluzi lokusindiswa kwabo bonke," "isakramente lendawo yonke lensindiso," uKristu "abonakalisa ngaso leso sikhathi futhi enze imfihlakalo yothando lukaNkulunkulu ngabantu." -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 776

Uyabona-ke, yingakho uSathane esesabisa ngokuthi sibalekele iNsimu yaseGetsemane ngisho nesithunzi nje sesiphambano… ekuhluphekeni. Ngoba uyazi "iqiniso eliphelele ngomuntu": ukuthi (kungenzeka) asibona nje ababukeli benkanuko, kodwa ababambiqhaza bangempela, uma samukela futhi sihlanganisa ukuhlupheka kwethu kuJesu Kristu njengo amalungu omzimba Wakhe oyindida. Ngakho, uSathane wethuka owesilisa noma owesifazane oqondayo, bese ephila leli qiniso! Okwe…

… Ubuthakathaka bakho konke ukuhlupheka kwabantu kuyakwazi ukufakwa ngamandla afanayo kaNkulunkulu abonakaliswe esiphambanweni sikaKristu… ukuze zonke izinhlobo zokuhlupheka, ezinikezwe impilo entsha ngamandla alesi Siphambano, zingabe zisaba ubuthakathaka bomuntu kepha amandla kaNkulunkulu. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros,n. 23, 26

Sihlupheka ngazo zonke izindlela… sithwele emzimbeni ukufa kukaJesu, ukuze nokuphila kukaJesu kubonakalise emzimbeni wethu. (2 Kor. 4: 8, 10)

 

INKemba EYIMIBILI EMBILI

Ukuhlupheka-ke kunezici ezimbili. Okunye ukudweba ubuhle bukaKrestu, Ukufa, kanye noVuko lwethu ezimpilweni zethu ngokushiya intando kaNkulunkulu, bese kuthi okwesibili, sidonsele lezi zimfanelo kwabanye. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukungcwelisa imiphefumulo yethu, futhi okwesibili, ukudweba umusa wokusindiswa kwabanye. 

Ukuhlupheka, ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye, okucaba indlela yomusa oguqula imiphefumulo yabantu. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros,n. 27

If “Ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa,” ^[1]I-Eph 2: 8 khona-ke ukukholwa ngezenzo kungukuhlanganisa iziphambano zakho zansuku zonke (okubizwa “ngothando lukaNkulunkulu nomakhelwane”). Lezi nsuku zonke Iziphambano ziyindlela umuntu “omdala” abulawa ngayo ngenkemba yokulahla ukuze “umuntu omusha”, lowo mfanekiso weqiniso kaNkulunkulu esidalwe kuye, ubuyiselwe. Njengoba uPetru asho, "Wabulawa enyameni, wavuswa esemoyeni." (1 Pet. 3:18) Lokho kuyisibonelo nakithi. 

Bulala-ke izingxenye zenu zasemhlabeni: ukuziphatha okubi, ukungcola, inkanuko, isifiso esibi, nokuhaha okungukukhonza izithombe ... Yekani ukuqamba amanga komunye nomunye, ngoba nikhumule umuntu omdala kanye nezenzo zakhe futhi senibekile kumuntu omusha, okwenziwa musha, ngolwazi, ngomfanekiso womdali wakhe. (Kol 3: 5-10)

Ngakho-ke njengoba uKristu wahlupheka enyameni, nani zihlomeni ngomqondo ofanayo… (1 Pet. 3: 1)

Olunye uhlangothi lwenkemba ukuthi, lapho sikhetha indlela yothando kunokulwa nabanye, indlela yokulunga esikhundleni sobubi, ukuvuma ukugula namashwa kunokuphikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu eyekelelayo… singakwazi “ukunikela” noma ukwanga abanye the umhlatshelo nobuhlungu obulethwa yilezi zinhlupheko. Ngakho-ke, ukwamukela ukugula, ukubekezela, ukwenqaba ukuzitika, ukwenqaba isilingo, ukubekezelela ukoma, ukubamba ulimi, ukwamukela ubuthakathaka, ukucela intethelelo, ukwamukela ukuthotshiswa, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukukhonza abanye ngaphambi kwakho… yiziphambano zansuku zonke “Gcwalisani okusilelayo ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu.” Ngale ndlela, uhlamvu lukakolweni kuphela - "Mina" - luyafa, ukuze kuthele izithelo zobungcwele, kepha "ungathola okuningi kuJesu Kristu kulabo abangadingi usizo lomzimba, kepha okuvame ukuthi ngidinga kakhulu usizo olungokomoya. ” ^[2]UKhadinali Karol Wojtyla, njengoba kushiwo ku USanta John Paul Omkhulu, Izithandwa Zakhe Ezihlanu nguJason Evert; k. 177

Ukuhlupheka “okunikelwe” kusiza nalabo okungenzeka ukuthi bangawutholi umusa. 

 

INJABULO YESIPHAMBANO

Okokugcina, ingxoxo yeSiphambano ibizokwehluleka ngokuphelele uma ingafaki iqiniso eliholela kulo njalo Uvuko, okungukuthi, ukujabula. Lokho kuyindida yeSiphambano. 

Ngenxa yenjabulo eyayiphambi kwakhe wakhuthazelela isiphambano, edelela ihlazo laso, wahlala esihlalweni sokunene sesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu… Ngaleso sikhathi, konke ukuyala kubonakala kungesona isizathu senjabulo kepha sobuhlungu, kepha kamuva ithela isithelo sokuthula sokulunga kulabo abaqeqeshwe yiso. (Heb 12: 2, 11)

Le “yimfihlo” yempilo yobuKrestu uSathane afuna ukuyifihla noma ayifihle kubalandeli bakaKristu. Kungamanga ukuthi ukuhlupheka ukungabi nabulungisa okuholela kuphela ekuphucweni injabulo. Esikhundleni salokho, ukuhlupheka okwamukelwe kunomphumela wokuhlanzwa inhliziyo nokwenza anekhono lokuthola injabulo. Ngakho, lapho uJesu ethi "Ngilandele", Ekugcineni usho ukulalela imiyalo yaKhe, okubandakanya ukufa kwangempela kuye ukuze umlandele uye eKalvari, ukuze “Injabulo ingapheleliswa.” ^[3]isib. Johane 15:11

Ukugcinwa kwemiyalo…. kusho ukunqoba isono, ukuziphatha okubi ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene. Futhi lokhu kuholela ekuhlanzekeni kwangaphakathi kancane kancane…. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uma siphikelela ekulandeleni uKristu uThisha wethu, sizizwa sincipha ngokuncane ngomzabalazo wokulwa nesono, futhi sikujabulela ngokwengeziwe ukukhanya kwaphezulu okugcwele yonke indalo. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Imemori nobunikazi, i-28-29

“Indlela” eya enjabulweni yokuphila okuphakade, eqala nalapha emhlabeni, yiyo indlela yeSiphambano. 

Uzongikhombisa indlela eya ekuphileni, injabulo egcwele ebusweni bakho… (AmaHubo 16:11)

Kulesi Sikhumbuzo Sethu Sokudabuka, ake sibheke kuye "ongumfanekiso weSonto elizayo." ^[4]UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Khuluma uSalvi,n.50 Yilapho, emthunzini weSiphambano, lapho inkemba yahlaba inhliziyo yakhe. Futhi kusukela kuleyo nhliziyo “egcwele umusa ”owahlanganisa ngokuzithandela ukuhlupheka kwawo kweNdodana yakhe, waba ngumlamuli womusa kuye uqobo. ^[5]isib. “Lokhu ukuba ngumama kukaMariya ngokulandelana komusa kuyaqhubeka ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa kusuka emvumelweni ayinikeza ngobuqotho ku-Annunciation futhi ayisekela ngaphandle kokuntengantenga ngaphansi kwesiphambano, kuze kube ukugcwaliseka kwaphakade kwabo bonke abakhethiweyo. Ukunyuselwa ezulwini akazange abeke eceleni leli hhovisi lokusindisa kepha ngokuncenga kwakhe okuningana kuqhubeka nokusilethela izipho zensindiso yaphakade. . . . Ngakho-ke iNcasakazi Ebusisiwe icelwa eSontweni ngaphansi kwesiqu esithi uMmeli, uMsizi, uMsizi, noMediatrix. ” (CCC, n. 969 n)   Waba, ngomyalo kaKristu, uMama wabo bonke abantu. Manje thina ngobhapathizo lwethu, esinikezwe “Zonke izibusiso ezingokomoya emazulwini,” ^[6]I-Eph 1: 3 sibizelwe ukuvumela inkemba yokuhlupheka ingene ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuze, njengoMama uMariya, nathi sibe ngabahlanganyeli ekuhlengweni kwesintu noKristu iNkosi yethu. Okwe…

Lokhu ukuhlupheka okushisa futhi kudle okubi nge ilangabi lothando futhi idonsela ngisho nasonweni ukuqhuma okukhulu kokuhle. Konke ukuhlupheka kwabantu, bonke ubuhlungu, nobuthakathaka bonke buqukethe isithembiso sensindiso, isithembiso senjabulo: “Manje ngiyajabula ngokuhlupheka kwami ​​ngenxa yakho,” kubhala uSt Paul (Kol 1:24).—ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Imemori nobunikazi, i-167-168
