FOR emasontweni amabili ngemuva kokusula kukaPapa Benedict XVI, kwavela njalo isexwayiso enhliziyweni yami sokuthi iSonto selingena manje “Izinsuku eziyingozi” nesikhathi se "Ukudideka okukhulu." [1]Cf. Usifihla Kanjani Isihlahla Lawo mazwi ayithinta kakhulu indlela engingasondela ngayo kulo mbhalo wobuphostoli, ngazi ukuthi kuzodingeka ukunilungiselela, bafundi bami, ngemimoya yesiphepho eyayiza.
Futhi yini ebilokhu iza? Umdlandla weSonto lapho kufanele iphase…
… Ngesivivinyo sokugcina esizonyakazisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaningi… ISonto lizongena enkazimulweni yombuso kuphela ngaleli Phasika lokugcina, lapho lizolandela khona iNkosi yalo ekufeni nasekuVukeni kwalo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 675, 677
Namuhla, ukudideka nobuhlungu obufakwe egumbini eliphezulu phezulu esidlweni sakusihlwa sokugcina nakho kugcwele eSontweni ngalelihora. Abaphostoli babenjalo kutshengisa ukuguqulwa kwezinto ezinyakaziswayo ngamazwi athi uJesu kumele ahlupheke futhi afe; kutshengisa ukuguqulwa kwezinto ezinyakaziswayo ukuthi ukungena Kwakhe eJerusalema kwakungekhona ukunqoba ababekulindele; kutshengisa ukuguqulwa kwezinto ezinyakaziswayo ukuthola ukuthi omunye wabo uzokhaphela iNkosi yabo.
Khona-ke uJesu wathi kubo, “Kulobu busuku nonke ukholo lwenu luyozanyazanyiswa, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: 'Ngizoshaya umalusi, izimvu zomhlambi zihlakazeke'… (Mathewu 26:31)
On ngalobu busuku benkanuko yeSonto, ngokunjalo futhi, siyanyakaziswa futhi ngendlela efanayo: ngokushaya kukamalusi, okungukuthi, i abaphathi.
UMLONYANE
Amahlazo ezocansi aqhubekayo ukuvela ashiye kakhulu ubupristi kangangokuthi, ezindaweni eziningi, iSonto selilahlekelwe ukuthembeka kwalo ngokuphelele. Kunjengokungathi naye manje ugibele “imbongolo yokwehliswa” engena eJerusalema.
Ngenxa yalokho, ukukholwa okunjalo kuye kungakholakali, futhi iSonto alisakwazi ukuzethula ngokwethenjelwa njengommemezeli weNkosi. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, UPapa, iSonto, Nezimpawu Zezikhathi: Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-25
Ngasikhathi sinye, uPapa Francis, ngolimi oluvame kakhulu, uphonsele inselelo ubupristi ukuthi bamukele isimo sempilo belingisa ukuthobeka kweNkosi yethu: kube lula kakhulu, ukwenza izinto obala, nokutholakala.
Bheka, inkosi yakho iza kuwe, imnene, igibele imbongolo… (Math 20: 5)
Ukwehliswa kwakho konke kusuka ekomkhulu elijwayelekile lopapa, kuya kuma-limousine, ngisho nokugqoka kukapapa kudonse ukunaka komhlaba. Nabo futhi bamemeze bathi “Hosana” njengoba bebona okuthile okuhle okuvelayo.
…nini wangena eJerusalema wonke umuzi wanyakaziswa…
Kepha njengoba umbono wabantu ngoJesu wawudukisiwe-bembona esengumprofethi nje wethemba labo lobuxoki likaMesiya-ngokunjalo, umyalezo womusa kaPapa Francis awuqondiswanga kahle ngabaningi njengemvume ethile yokuhlala esonweni.
"Ngubani lo?" Izixuku zaphendula zathi: “Lo ungumprofethi, uJesu waseNazaretha laseGalile.”
Abangcatshi
Ukuzamazama akugcinanga ngokungena kukaKristu, kepha kwaqhubeka nokuzwakala egumbini eliphezulu ngenkathi ememezela ukuthi omunye wabo uzomkhaphela.
Bakhathazeka kakhulu ngalokhu, base bethi omunye komunye: “Impela akusimina, Nkosi, na?” (Mathewu 26:22)
Into eyodwa iqinisekile ngopapa kaFrancis: kuholela kufayela le- ukuhlunga okukhulu ngaleli hora, lapho "ukholo" lomuntu ngamunye wethu luvivinywa khona ngezinga elithile.
… Njengoba uKristu atshela uPetru, “Simoni, Simoni, bheka, uSathane ubenifuna, ukuze anihluze njengokolweni,” namuhla “sibuye sazi kabuhlungu ukuthi uSathane uvunyelwe ukuhlunga abafundi ngaphambi komhlaba wonke. ” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IMisa leSidlo SeNkosi, ngo-Ephreli 21, 2011
Isitayela sokuzenzakalela kanye nokungaqondakali okungajwayelekile kukapapa akubanga nje kuphela umehluko omkhulu ekuhumusheni imibhalo kapapa, kepha nasemakamu ahlukahlukene athi lokho they yibo abathembekile kakhulu kumaVangeli.
UPetru waphendula, wathi kuye: “Noma ukukholwa kwakho kuwe kuzanyazanyiswa, okwami akuyikuze kube khona.” (Mathewu 26:33)
Ekugcineni, kwakungeyena uJuda kuphela, kodwa noPetru owakhaphela uKristu. UJuda, ngoba walilahla iQiniso; Peter, ngoba wayenamahloni ngaYo.
UJUDAS PHAKATHI KWETHU
Lokhu esikubonayo namhlanje kuyinto efana nesidlo sakusihlwa sokugcina lapho kuvela khona abakwaJudase. Ababhishobhi nabapristi ababekade besemathunzini manje, njengoJudas, bazizwa benesibindi ngohlelo lukaPapa Francis, badlala ngokungaqondakali okwalethwa isitayela sakhe sobuholi. Esikhundleni sokuhumusha lokhu kungacaci njengoba kufanele - ngeso leNkambiso Engcwele — bavukile eTafuleni likaKristu futhi bathengisa iQiniso “ngezinhlamvu zesiliva ezingamashumi amathathu” (okusho ukuthi, amathemba angenalutho nangenalutho). Kungani lokhu kufanele kusimangaze? Uma kwakungumongo weMisa eNgcwele lapho uJuda ayezovuka ukukhaphela iNkosi, kanjalo-ke, kuyoba yilabo abahlanganyela idili laphezulu nathi abazovuka ukukhaphela iNkosi ehoreni le-Passion yethu.
Futhi bawukhaphela kanjani uMzimba kaKristu?
Kwafika isixuku, futhi indoda okuthiwa uJuda, omunye wabayishumi nambili, wayeyihola. Wasondela kuJesu ukumanga; kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Judasi, uzayikhaphela iNdodana yomuntu ngokuyanga? (Luka 22: 47-48)
Yebo, lawa madoda avele "awanga" uMzimba kaKristu ngamanga futhi Ukulwa Nesihe, ukuguquguquka kwamagama avela njengokuthi "uthando", "isihe", "nokukhanya" kepha kungubumnyama empeleni. Abaholeli kulelo qiniso elisikhululayo lodwa — ku Isihe Esiliqiniso. Noma ngabe izingqungquthela zombhishobhi ziphendukisa iSiko, amanyuvesi amaKhatholika anikeza amapulatifomu kubahlubuki, osopolitiki bamaKhatholika bayathengisa, noma izikole zamaKhatholika ezifundisa ngemfundo yezocansi ecacile… sibona ukukhashelwa okujulile kwaLowo oyiQiniso cishe kuwo wonke amazinga omphakathi.
Empeleni, amaKatolika amaningi azizwa elahliwe ikakhulukazi uPapa Francis ngenxa kubonakala sengathi ukuziba inkinga ebonakalayo. Kusenemibuzo kwabanye yokuthi kungani aqoqe iningi lala madoda "akhululekile" amzungezile; kungani evumela laba bakwaJudase ukuthi basebenze ngokukhululeka; noma kungani engaphenduli ngokusobala "i-dubia" yamaKhadinali -isicelo sabo sokucaciselwa ezindabeni zomshado nesono esiyinjongo. Ngikholwa ukuthi impendulo eyodwa ukuthi lezi zinto kumele zenzeke njengoba ihora leNtshiseko yeSonto selifikile. NguKristu, ekugcineni, ovumela lokhu ngoba nguYena - hhayi uPapa - "owakha" iSonto Lakhe. [2]Cf. Mat 16:18
Khonamanjalo, ngenkathi uJudas emkhaphela futhi abaPhostoli bekhipha izinkemba ukumisa wonke umbhedo, uJesu wayematasa ngokukhombisa isihe ngomzuzu wokugcina-ngisho nakulabo ababezombopha:
UJesu wathi: “Akusekho lokhu.” Wayithinta indlebe, wayiphilisa. (Luka 22:51)
UKuphIKA KUKAPETRU
Ngokudabukisayo-mhlawumbe okubuhlungu ukudlula ukukhaphela kukaJudas okungenakugwenywa-yi-Peters phakathi kwethu. Ngithintwe kakhulu kuleli sonto eledlule ngamazwi kaSt. Paul:
Ngakho-ke, noma ngubani ocabanga ukuthi umile uvikelekile kufanele aqaphele angawi. (1 KwabaseKorinte 10:12)
Akubona abapristi abahlubukayo noma ababhishobhi abahamba phambili abavuka kuze kube sebusuku abangimangazile; yilabo abaphendukele eSontweni ngentukuthelo efanayo nokuphika uPetru akudedela ngalobo busuku obubuhlungu. Khumbula lapho uPetru eqala ukuphikisana nombono wokuthi uJesu "wayezohlupheka afe":
Khona uPetru wamyisa eceleni, wamkhuza, wathi: “Qha, Nkosi; Ayikho into enjalo eyokwehlela wena. ” Waphenduka, wathi kuPetru: “Yana emva kwami, Sathane; Uyisithiyo kimi. Awucabangi njengoNkulunkulu, kodwa ucabanga njengabantu. ” (Math 16: 22-23)
Lokhu kufanekisela labo abangakwazi ukwamukela iSonto elenziwe ngomfanekiso wabo. Abanelisekanga ngokudideka kwalesi sikhundla samanje sobupapa, ithempeli elimpofu le-post-Vatican II, kanye nokungahlonishwa okujwayelekile (konke lokhu kuyiqiniso). Kepha kunokuhlala noKristu kule Gethsemane, babaleka iSonto. Abacabangi njengoNkulunkulu, kepha bacabanga njengabantu. Ngoba ababoni ukuthi iSonto kumele libhekane nokuthanda kwalo. Ababoni ukuthi lolu sizi olukhona njengamanje luvivinyo lokuthi ukholo lwabo lukuJesu Kristu… noma enkazimulweni edlule yesikhungo. Banamahloni, njengoPetru ngoJesu, ukubona uMzimba kaKristu usesimweni esingesihle kangako.
Khona-ke waqala ukuqalekisa nokufunga, “Angimazi lowo muntu.” Masinyane lakhala iqhude. (Mathewu 26:74)
Nathi sikuthola kunzima ukwamukela ukuthi wazibophezela ekulinganisweni kweSonto lakhe kanye nabefundisi balo. Nathi asifuni ukwamukela ukuthi akanamandla emhlabeni. Nathi sithola izaba lapho ukuba ngabafundi bakhe kuqala ukuba kubiza kakhulu, kuyingozi kakhulu. Sonke sidinga ukuguqulwa okusenza samukele uJesu ngokoqobo njengoNkulunkulu nomuntu. Sidinga ukuthobeka komfundi olandela intando yeNkosi yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IMisa leSidlo SeNkosi, ngo-Ephreli 21, 2011
Yebo, ngithanda ukucula, amakhandlela, ama-cassock, izithonjana, impepho, ama-altare aphakeme, izithombe, namafasitela anengilazi njenganoma iyiphi i-sedevacantist. Kepha ngiyakholelwa futhi ukuthi uJesu uzosiphuca konke lokhu ukuze asibuyisele enkabeni yokholo lwethu, okuyisiphambano (nomsebenzi wethu ukusimemezela ngezimpilo zethu). Iqiniso, nokho, ukuthi abaningi bangakhetha ukugubha iMisa ngesiLatini kunokuba balondoloze ubunye boMzimba kaKristu.
Nomzimba waKhe wephulwa wonke futhi.
UMLILO KAJOHANE
Kithina, izindawo ezingenalutho etafuleni lomkhosi weNkosi… izimemo zenqabile, ukungabi nentshisekelo kuye nokusondela kwakhe… noma ngabe kuyathetheleleka noma cha, akusekho umfanekiso kepha sekuyiqiniso, kulawo mazwe ayewembulele ukusondela kwakhe ngendlela ekhethekile. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, IMisa leSidlo SeNkosi, ngo-Ephreli 21, 2011
Bafowethu nodadewethu, ngisho lezi zinto kulobu busuku obubi, hhayi ukusola thina, kodwa ukusivusela ehoreni esiphila kulo. Ngoba, njengabaPhostoli baseGetsemane, abaningi balele…
Kungubuthongo bethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu okusenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi… ubuthongo 'bungobethu, bethu abangafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi abafuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience
“Impela akumina, Nkosi?”…. "Noma ngubani ocabanga ukuthi umile kumele aqaphele angawi."
NgokwamaVangeli, lapho kufika isikhathi sokuhlungwa, bonke abaPhostoli babaleka engadini. Futhi-ke, singalingeka ukuthi siphelelwe yithemba sithi, “Ingabe nami, Nkosi, ngizokukhaphela? Kufanele nakanjani sigwemeke! ”
Kodwa-ke, kwakukhona umfundi oyedwa ongazange amshiye ekugcineni uJesu: uSt. Futhi yingakho. ESidlweni Sokugcina, siyafunda:
Omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJesu ayemthanda, wayelele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. (Johane 13:23)
Noma uJohn abaleka eNsimini, wabuyela onyaweni lwesiphambano. Kungani? Ngoba ubekade elele eduze kwesifuba sikaJesu. UJohn walalela ukushaya kwenhliziyo kukaNkulunkulu, izwi likaMelusi elaliphindaphinda kaninginingi, “Ngiwumusa. Ngiwumusa. Ngiwumusa… thembela Kimi. ” UJohn wayezobhala kamuva, “Uthando oluphelele luxosha ukwesaba…” [3]I-1 John 4: 18 Kwakungukunanela kwalezo zishaya zenhliziyo ezaholela uJohn esiPhambanweni. Ingoma yothando yeNhliziyo Engcwele yoMsindisi yamisa izwi lokwesaba.
Engikushoyo ukuthi umuthi wokuhlubuka kulezi zikhathi akuyona nje ukunamathela okuqinile eSikweni eliNgcwele. Ngempela, ngabomthetho ababopha uJesu nabaFarisi abafuna ngenkani ukuthi abethelwe. Kunalokho, yilowo oza kuye njengengane encane, engalaleli nje kuphela konke akwembulile, kodwa ngaphezu kwanoma yini ebeka amakhanda akhe esifubeni sakhe ekuhlanganyeleni okuqhubekayo komthandazo. Ngalokhu angisho ukuthi umane uphendule amagama, kepha umthandazo osuka enhliziyweni. Akukhona nje ukuthandaza kuNkulunkulu, kodwa nokuba ne- ubuhlobo Naye… ukuhlanganyela eduze “kwabangane.” Konke lokhu kwenzeka, hhayi ekhanda kuphela, kepha ikakhulukazi enhliziyweni.
Inhliziyo yindawo yokuhlala lapho ngikhona, lapho ngihlala khona… inhliziyo yindawo “engihoxa kuyo”… Yindawo yeqiniso, lapho sikhetha khona impilo noma ukufa. Yindawo yokuhlangana, ngoba njengomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu siphila maqondana: yindawo yesivumelwano…. Umkhuleko wamaKrestu ubuhlobo besivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu kuKristu. Kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu nowomuntu, ophuma kuMoya oNgcwele nakithi uqobo, oqondiswe ngokuphelele kuYise, ngokuhlangana nentando yomuntu yeNdodana kaNkulunkulu eyenziwe ngumuntu… umkhuleko ubuhlobo obuphilayo bezingane zikaNkulunkulu noYise omuhle ongenakulinganiswa, neNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu kanye noMoya oNgcwele. Umusa woMbuso "ukuhlangana kwawo wonke uZiqu-zintathu ongcwele nasebukhosini ... ngawo wonke umoya wobuntu." Ngakho-ke, impilo yokuthandaza umkhuba wokuba sebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ongcwele kathathu futhi uhlanganyele naye. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2563-2565
Njengoba singena manje ku-Easter Triduum, ngikushiya namazwi asolwa yiNkosi Yethu maqondana "nokushisekela, ukufa, nokuvuka" kweBandla, okwakhishwa ngePhentekoste ngoMsombuluko kaMeyi, 1975 eSt. Peter's Square phambi kukaPapa UPaul VI:
Ngoba ngiyakuthanda, ngifuna ukukukhombisa engikwenzayo emhlabeni namuhla. Ngifuna ukukulungiselela okuzayo. Izinsuku zobumnyama ziyeza emhlabeni, izinsuku zosizi… Izakhiwo ezimi manje ngeke zimi. Ukuxhaswa okukhona kubantu bami manje ngeke kube lapho. Ngifuna ukuba uzilungiselele, bantu bami, ukungazi mina kuphela futhi ninamathele kimi futhi ngibe nami ngijule kakhulu kunangaphambili. Ngizokuholela ehlane… ngizokuphuca yonke into onayo manje, ngakho-ke uthembele kimi. Isikhathi sobumnyama siyeza emhlabeni, kepha isikhathi senkazimulo siyeza iBandla lami, isikhathi senkazimulo siyeza abantu bami. Ngizothululela kuwe zonke izipho zoMoya wami. Ngizokulungiselela ukulwa okungokomoya; Ngizokulungiselela isikhathi sokushumayela ivangeli umhlaba ongakaze usibone…. Futhi uma ungenalutho ngaphandle kwami, uzoba nakho konke: umhlaba, amasimu, amakhaya, nabafowethu nodadewethu nothando nentokozo nokuthula kakhulu kunangaphambili. Zilungiselele, bantu bami, ngifuna ukunilungiselela… -Nikezwe uRalph Martin embuthanweni noPapa kanye neCharismatic Renewal Movement
