ISIKHUMBUZO SOKUDLULA ISINGCWELE KANGCWELE UJOHANE UMBHAPATHIZI
Bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo… sekunesikhathi eside ngathola ithuba lokubhala umcabango - “igama manje” lezikhathi zethu. Njengoba nazi, besilokhu sidonsa kanzima lapha ngenxa yalesi siphepho nazo zonke ezinye izinkinga ezehle ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule. Kubukeka sengathi lezi zingqinamba azikapheli, njengoba sifunde nje ukuthi uphahla lwethu belubolile futhi ludinga ukushintshwa. Kukho konke lokhu, uNkulunkulu ubelokhu engichoboza ekubhekaneni nophuko lwami uqobo, embula izindawo zokuphila kwami ezidinga ukuhlanzwa. Yize kuzwakala njengesijeziso, empeleni kungukulungiselela — ukuhlangana okujulile Naye. Kuyajabulisa kanjani lokho? Kodwa-ke, kube buhlungu kakhulu ukungena ekujuleni kolwazi ... kepha ngibona isiyalo sothando sikaBaba kukho konke. Emasontweni azayo, uma uNkulunkulu ethanda, ngizokwabelana ngalokhu Angifundisa ngakho ngethemba lokuthi abanye benu bangathola isikhuthazo nokuphulukiswa. Ngalokho, phambili namhlanje Manje iZwi...
LAPHO angikwazi ukubhala ukuzindla ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule — kuze kube manje — ngiye ngaqhubeka nokulandela izehlakalo ezimangazayo ezenzeka emhlabeni wonke: ukuqhubeka kokuqhekeka nokwehlukaniswa kwemindeni nezizwe; ukwanda kweChina; ukushaywa kwezigubhu zempi phakathi kweRussia, iNorth Korea ne-United States; isinyathelo sokuhlalisa uMongameli waseMelika nokuvuka kobusoshiyali eNtshonalanga; ukuvinjelwa okukhulayo okwenziwa yimithombo yezokuxhumana kanye nezinye izikhungo ukuthulisa amaqiniso wokuziphatha; inqubekela phambili esheshayo ebheke emphakathini ongenamali nokuhleleka okusha komnotho, futhi ngaleyo ndlela, ukulawula okumaphakathi kwawo wonke umuntu nakho konke; futhi okokugcina, futhi okuphawuleka kakhulu, izambulo zokwehla kokuziphatha esigabeni sabaphathi bamaKatolika okuholele emhlambini ocishe ungabelusi kulelihora.
Yebo, konke engibhale ngakho, kusukela eminyakeni engaba ngu-13 eyedlule, manje sekuzokwenzeka, kufaka phakathi lokhu: Ukunqoba Kwenhliziyo Engacacile kaMariya. Uyabona, lo “wesifazane wembethe ilanga” uyasebenza kanzima ukuze abelethe uJehova Konke umzimba kaKristu. Esesiqala ukukuzwa eSontweni yizinhlungu zokubeletha “ezinzima”. Ngiyezwa futhi amazwi kaSt. Peter:
Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ngendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukulalela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Petru 4:17)
Yingakho ngizwa ngaphakathi komphefumulo wami isidingo esiphuthumayo sokusondela kulo wesifazane. Ngoba umisiwe ngaleli hora, uMphongolo esiwunikwe nguNkulunkulu, ukuvikela ukudlula kwethu osizini esingene kulo. Nguye ozoma nathi phansi kweSiphambano (futhi) lapho iSonto lizozithola khona maduze, njengoba manje lingena emahoreni abuhlungu kakhulu enkanuko yalo.
Ngaphambi kokuza kwesibili kukaKristu iBandla kumele lidlule esivivinyweni sokugcina esizonyakazisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaningi. Ushushiso oluhambisana nokuhambela kwakhe emhlabeni luyoveza “imfihlakalo yokungalungi” ngendlela yenkohliso yenkolo enikeza abantu isisombululo sezinkinga zabo ngenani lokuhlubuka eqinisweni. Inkohliso enkulu yezenkolo ileyo yoMphikukristu, umbono-mbumbulu wobuMesiya umuntu azikhazimulisa ngaye esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu nangoMesiya wakhe eze enyameni… ISonto lizongena enkazimulweni yombuso kuphela ngaleli Phasika lokugcina, lapho landela iNkosi yakhe ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwakhe. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 675, 677
Abantu abaningi bangibhalele, bengicela ukuba ngiphawule ngenkinga eqhubekayo yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi nokufihla eSontweni LamaKatolika manje esefinyelela esicongweni salo. Nasi iseluleko sami — futhi akusona esami:
Bantwana abathandekayo! Lesi yisikhathi somusa. Bantwana abancane, thandazani kakhulu, khulumani kancane futhi vumelani uNkulunkulu anikhokhele endleleni yokuguquka. —Agasti 25, 2018, Our Lady of Medjugorje, kusolwa umyalezo oya kuMarija
Cishe kufanelekile ukuphinda isikhundla sobufundisi esisemthethweni seVatican eMedjugorje kusukela ngoJulayi 25, 2018:
Sinesibopho esikhulu maqondana nomhlaba wonke, ngoba impela iMedjugorje isiphenduke indawo yokuthandaza nokuguqulwa komhlaba wonke. Ngokunjalo, uBaba oNgcwele ukhathazekile futhi ungithumela lapha ukuba ngisize abapristi baseFranciscan ukuhlela nokuvuma le ndawo njengomthombo womusa womhlaba wonke. —UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uHenryk Hoser, isihambeli sikaPapa esabelwe ukwengamela ukunakekelwa kwabefundisi bezenkolo; Idili likaSt. James, Julayi 25, 2018; IMaryTV.tv
Umthombo womusa nokuhlakanipha okulula: thandaza kakhulu, khuluma kancane. Akungabazeki ukuthi manje siphila amazwi aprofethwa nguMama Wethu wase-Akita eminyakeni engama-45 eyedlule:
Umsebenzi kasathane uzongena ungene eSontweni ngendlela yokuthi umuntu abone amakhadinali aphikisana nokhadinali, ababhishobhi abamele ababhishobhi… —Umlayezo owanikezwa uSr. Agnes Sasagawa wase-Akita, eJapan, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1973
Kuqala ukuqhuma impi yamagama. Isisekelo esibi sezepolitiki seSonto siyadalulwa njengoba “ubumbano” luqala ukonakala. Kuthathwa izinhlangothi. Ukuziphatha "okuphezulu" kuyabekwa. AmaLayman aphonsa amatshe.
Amagama anjalo enamandla. Unamandla amakhulu, kangangokuthi uJesu ukhonjwa njengo “ULizwi waba yinyama.” Ngizokhuluma okuningi ezinsukwini ezizayo ngamandla wezahlulelo, ezidwengula kuzo kanye izinhlaka zokuthula namuhla. Qaphelani, bafowethu nodadewethu! USathane ubeka izingibe zokwehlukana njengoba sikhuluma ukubhidliza imishado yenu, imindeni yenu kanye nezizwe zenu.
Sidinga uku thandaza kakhulu, khuluma kancane. Ngokuba singene umlindelo woSuku lweNkosi. Isikhathi sokubuka nokukhuleka. Khuluma kancane. Kodwa kuthiwani ngempikiswano egubuzele iSonto?
Into yokugcina okufanele siyenze ukwethuka, ukucindezeleka, noma ukukhohlakala. Khumbula lokho uJesu akusho kubaPhostoli njengo- amagagasi aphahlazeka phezu komkhumbi wawo: “Kungani wethuka? Awukabi nokukholwa na? ” (Marku 4: 37-40) ISonto aliqediwe, yize lizofana noKristu ethuneni. Njengoba uKhadinali Ratzinger (uPapa Benedict) asho ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane entsha yeminyaka, si…
… Kumele azinikele emfihlakalweni yohlamvu lwesinaphi futhi angazikhohlisi kangangoba akholelwe ukuthi uzokhiqiza ngokushesha isihlahla esikhulu. Siphila kakhulu ekuphepheni komuthi omkhulu osuvele ukhona noma ekuphelelwe yisineke kokuba nomuthi omkhulu, obaluleke kakhulu — esikhundleni salokho, kufanele samukele imfihlakalo yokuthi iSonto ngesikhathi esifanayo liyisihlahla esikhulu nohlamvu oluncane kakhulu . Emlandweni wensindiso kuhlale kungoLwesihlanu oMnandi nangeSonto lePhasika ngasikhathi sinye…. -Ukushunyayelwa Okusha, Kwakha Impucuko Yothando, hhayi. 1
INkosi isiqalile Ukuhlakazwa KweSonto. Impela, asizethembi kangako, futhi siqiniseke kakhulu ngokuxolisa kwethu, ngakho-ke sikhululekile ngesigqi seSonto kuya kuSonto esingasiphikisi noma siguqule umhlaba, ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukusetha kabusha okukhulu—Enye ezoshintsha inkambo yomhlaba (bheka Ukucabanga Ngezikhathi Zokugcina). Akusikho ukuphela, kodwa ukuqala kwenkathi entsha.
Isikhathi esisha lapho ithemba lisikhulula khona ekunciphiseni, ukunganaki, nokuzithathela okubulala imiphefumulo yethu futhi kungcolise ubudlelwano bethu. Bathandekayo abasha, iNkosi inicela ukuba nibe njalo abaphurofethi yalesi sikhathi esisha… —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, i-Homily, uSuku lweNtsha lweMhlaba, eSydney, e-Australia, ngoJulayi 20, 2008
Ngakho-ke, uMama wethu ukhathazeke kakhulu ngakho yakho ukuguqulwa ngalelihora — hhayi izinkinga zeSonto, ebezingagwemeki. Uqinisile impela. Unanela umqondo kaKristu eSontweni Lakhe, amlingisa:
ISonto lidinga abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, futhi abantu abangcwele kuphela abangavuselela ubuntu. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo Wosuku Lwentsha Lomhlaba Wonke ngo-2005, eVatican City, Agasti 27, 2004, iZenit.org
Ngabangcwele abavuselela iSonto, hhayi izinhlelo. Kuzoba njalo futhi. “Isonto lezikhungo” kumele, ngokuyinhloko, life. Ngokuvamile abefundisi sebengabaphathi, hhayi abashumayeli ababethunywe ukuba babe yibo.[1]isib. UMathewu 28: 18-20 ISonto “likhona ukuze lishumayele ivangeli,” kusho uPapa Paul VI. [2]Evangelii nuntiandi,n. 14 Sine silahlekelwe uthando lwethu lokuqala—Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu, umphefumulo, namandla — okusiholela, ngokwemvelo, ukufuna ukuletha eminye imiphefumulo olwazini olusindisayo lukaJesu Kristu. Silahlekile — futhi izindleko zingabalwa emiphefumulweni. Ngakho-ke, iSonto lidinga ukuqondiswa ukuze likwazi ukuthola iNjabulo yalo yangempela.[3]qhathanisa Ukulungiswa Okuhlanu
Ubumpofu obukhulu kakhulu ukwehluleka kwenjabulo, okuyisidina kwempilo ethathwa njengokungenangqondo nokuphikisana. Lobuphofu budlangile namuhla, ngezindlela ezihluke kakhulu emazweni acebile ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nasemazweni ampofu. Ukwehluleka kwenjabulo kubeka phambili futhi kuveze ukungakwazi kothando, kuveza umona, i-avarice — konke ukukhubazeka okucekela phansi impilo yabantu neyomhlaba. Yingakho sidinga ukushunyayelwa okusha — uma ubuciko bokuphila buhlala bungaziwa, akukho okunye okusebenzayo. Kodwa lobu buciko akuyona into yesayensi — lobu buciko bungadluliselwa kuphela ngothile onokuphila — lowo oyiVangeli elenziwe samuntu. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT), Ukushunyayelwa Okusha, Kwakha Impucuko Yothando, hhayi. 1
Yonke indalo iyabubula, ilindele ukwambulwa, kusho uSt. Eyani? Ama-cathedral amahle kakhulu? Ama-liturgies aphelele? Amakhwaya asezulwini? Chaza ukuxolisa? Izinhlelo ezinhle?
Indalo ilindele ngokulangazela okukhulu ukwambulwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu… yonke indalo ibubula ngezinhlungu zokubeletha kuze kube manje… (Rom 8:19, 22)
Indalo ilindele ukwambulwa kwesigaba sokugcina sokungcweliswa kweSonto: abantu abagcwele Intando Yaphezulu. Yilokho uJohn Paul II akubiza ngokuthi “iza ubungcwele obusha nobungcwele”OkweBandla. [4]qhathanisa Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu Ekugcineni, kungenzeka singasenazo izakhiwo zethu; izintambo nezintambo zegolide zinganyamalala; impepho namakhandlela kungacinywa… kepha okuzovela ngabantu abaNgcwele abathi ngaphakathi kwabo izonikeza uNkulunkulu inkazimulo Yakhe enkulu kakhulu, ikhulise ngisho nenkazimulo yabaNgcwele ezulwini.
Ngakho-ke kubonakala kuqinisekile kimi ukuthi iSonto libhekene nezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu. Inkinga yangempela ayikaze iqale. Kuzofanele sibheke ezinxushunxushwini ezisabekayo. Kepha ngiqinisekile ngokulinganayo ngalokho okuzosala ekugcineni: hhayi iSonto lenkolo yezepolitiki, eselivele lifile noGobel, kepha iSonto lokholo. Kungenzeka angabe esaba namandla amakhulu kwezenhlalo kuze kube sezingeni lapho ayekhona kuze kube muva nje; kepha uzothokozela ukuqhakaza okusha futhi abonakale njengekhaya lomuntu, lapho ezothola khona impilo nethemba ngale kokufa. —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukukholwa nekusasa, Ignatius Press, 2009
