UMoya Wokwahlulela

 

CISHE eminyakeni eyisithupha eyedlule, ngabhala nge- a umoya wokwesaba lokho kuzoqala ukuhlasela umhlaba; ukwesaba okungaqala ukubamba izizwe, imindeni, nemishado, izingane nabantu abadala ngokufanayo. Omunye wabafundi bami, owesifazane ohlakaniphe kakhulu futhi ozinikele, unendodakazi okwase kuyiminyaka eminingi inikezwa iwindi endaweni yomoya. Ngo-2013, waba nephupho eliyisiprofetho:

Indodakazi yami endala ibona izinto eziningi ezinhle nezimbi [izingelosi] empini. Ukhulume kaningi ngokuthi impi yayo iphuma kanjani nokuthi iba nkulu kuphela nezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezidalwa. UMama wethu uvele kuye ephusheni ngonyaka odlule njengoMama wethu waseGuadalupe. Wamtshela ukuthi idimoni elizayo likhulu futhi linolaka kunabo bonke abanye. Ukuthi akufanele ahlanganyele naleli dimoni noma alilalele. Kwakuzozama ukuthatha umhlaba. Leli yidimoni lika ukwesaba. Kwakungokwesaba ukuthi indodakazi yami yathi izogubuzela wonke umuntu nakho konke. Ukuhlala eduze kwamaSakramente noJesu noMariya kubaluleke kakhulu.

Yeka ukuthi lokho kuqonda kwakuyiqiniso kanjani! Ake uzindle okwesikhashana uvalo oluhlasele abaningi kusukela lapho eSontweni, ngokushiya kukaBenedict XVI nokhetho olulandelayo futhi isitayela likaPapa Francis. Cabanga ngokwesaba okudalwe ukudutshulwa kwabantu abaningi nobuphekula obunonya obusakazeka busuka eMiddle East buye eNtshonalanga. Cabanga ngokwesaba kwabesifazane ukuhamba bodwa emgwaqweni noma ukuthi abantu abaningi manje bakhiya kanjani iminyango yabo ebusuku. Cabanga ngokwesaba okubambe amakhulu ezinkulungwane zentsha njengamanje UGreta Thunberg uyabethusa ngezibikezelo zamanga okuphela komhlaba. Bheka ukwesaba okubamba izizwe njengoba ubhadane lusongela ukushintsha impilo njengoba sazi. Cabanga ngokwesaba okukhulayo ngokuhlukanisa ipolitiki, izingxoxo ezinenzondo phakathi kwabangane nomndeni ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, isivinini esikhungathekisa inguquko kwezobuchwepheshe kanye namandla ezikhali zokubhubhisa okukhulu. Bese kuba khona ukwesaba ukonakala kwemali ngokwezikweletu ezikhulayo, zombili ezomuntu siqu nezikazwelonke, kanye nokwanda okucacayo kwezifo ezimbi njalonjalo. Ukwesaba! Ikona “Imboza wonke umuntu nakho konke”!

Ngakho-ke, ngaphambi kokuthi ngikunikeze ikhambi lokwesaba ekugcineni kwalesi sihloko, sekuyisikhathi sokubhekana nokufika kwelinye idemoni ezikhathini zethu elisebenzisa lo mhlabathi wokwesaba ukubeka izizwe, imindeni nemishado onqenqemeni lokubhujiswa : yidimoni elinamandla le izahlulelo. 

 

AMANDLA EZWI

Amagama, noma ngabe acatshangwa noma akhulunyiwe, aqukethe amandla. Cabanga ukuthi ngaphambi kokudalwa kwendawo yonke, uNkulunkulu wacabanga yethu futhi Wakhuluma lowo mcabango:

Makube khona ukukhanya… (Genesise 3: 1)

SikaNkulunkulu “Fiat”, okulula “makwenziwe”, bekungikho konke obekudingeka ukwenza yonke indawo ibe khona. LeloZwi ekugcineni laba umzimba kumuntu kaJesu, osizuzele insindiso yethu futhi waqala ukubuyisela indalo kuYise. 

Senziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Ngaleyo ndlela, wanikeza ukuqonda kwethu, inkumbulo kanye namandla okuhlanganyela emandleni akhe aphezulu. Ngakho-ke, yethu amagama unekhono lokuletha impilo noma ukufa.

Cabanga ngendlela umlilo omncane ongasha ngayo ihlathi elikhulu. Ulimi nalo lungumlilo… Luyinto embi engaphezi, igcwele ushevu obulalayo. Ngalo sibonga iNkosi noBaba, futhi ngalo siqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. (bheka uJakobe 3: 5-9)

Akekho owonayo engaqali ukwamukela a igama lokho kuza njengesilingo: “Thatha, bheka, khanuka, udle…” njll. Uma sivuma, siyabe sesipha umzimba kulelo gama nesono (ukufa) kukhulelwe. Ngokunjalo, lapho silalela izwi likaNkulunkulu kunembeza wethu: “Nikela, thanda, khonza, nikela…” njalonjalo lelo gama liyaqhubeka umzimba ezenzweni zethu, futhi uthando (impilo) luzalwa eduze kwethu. 

Kungakho uSt.Paul esitshela ukuthi indawo yokuqala yempi yimpilo yokucabanga. 

Ngoba, yize sisenyameni, asilwi ngokwenyama, ngoba izikhali zempi yethu akuzona ezenyama kodwa zinamandla amakhulu, ziyakwazi ukubhubhisa izinqaba. Sichitha izimpikiswano nokuzenzisa konke okuphikisana nolwazi lukaNkulunkulu, futhi sithimba yonke imicabango ngokulalela uKristu… (2 Kor 10: 3-5)

Njengoba uSathane akwazi ukuthonya imicabango ka-Eva, kanjalo-ke, "uyise wamanga" uyaqhubeka nokukhohlisa inzalo yakhe ngezinkulumo ezikhohlisayo nangokuzenzisa.

 

AMANDLA EZAHLULELO

Kufanele kubonakale ukuthi imicabango engafanele mayelana nabanye — lokho okubiziwayo izahlulelo (ukucabanga ngezisusa nezinhloso zomunye umuntu) —kungasheshe kube nokulimaza. Futhi bangadala umonakalo omkhulu uma sibabeka ngamagama, lokho iCatechism ekubiza ngokuthi: “ukunyundela… ukufakaza okungamanga ... ukwahlulela ngamawala ... ukuhlehlisa… nobunyoninco. ”^[1]Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2475-2479 Amagama ethu anamandla.

Ngiyakutshela, ngosuku lokwahlulelwa abantu bayolandisa ngawo wonke amagama abawanakayo abawakhulumayo. ”(Mathewu 12:36)

Singasho nokuthi ukuwa kuka-Adamu no-Eva kwakususelwe ku ukwahlulela uNkulunkulu: Wayegodlela okuthile kubo. Lesi sahlulelo senhliziyo kaNkulunkulu nezinhloso zangempela silethe umhlaba wangempela wosizi ezinzalweni eziningi kusukela lapho. Ngoba uSathane uyazi ukuthi amanga aqukethe ubuthi — amandla okufa ukuqeda ubudlelwano futhi, uma kungenzeka, nomphefumulo. Mhlawumbe yingakho uJesu engazange abhekane neseluleko ngokungafani nalokhu:

Yeka ukwahlulela… (Luka 6:37)

Izimpi zilwiwe ngezahlulelo zamanga ezaphonswa ezizweni zonke nakubantu bonke. Kakhulu kangakanani-ke ukuthi ukwahlulela kube yimbangela yokucekela phansi imindeni, ubungani nemishado. 

 

ANATOMY YAMAHLULELO

Ukwahlulela kuvame ukuqala ngokuhlaziywa kwangaphandle kokuvela komunye umuntu, amagama, noma izenzo (noma ngisho nokushoda kwakho) bese ukusebenzisa isisusa kubo okungabonakali ngokushesha.

Eminyakeni eyedlule kwenye yamakhonsathi ami, ngabona indoda ehlezi eduzane neyayine-scowl ebusweni bayo ubusuku bonke. Wayelokhu engibambe iso futhi ekugcineni ngazitshela, “Yini inkinga yakhe? Kungani aze azihluphe nangokuza? ” Imvamisa lapho amakhonsathi ami esephelile, abantu abaningi bayeza bazokhuluma noma bangicele ukuthi ngisayine incwadi noma i-CD. Kodwa kulokhu, akekho noyedwa oweza kimi — ngaphandle kwale ndoda. Wamomotheka wathi, “Ngiyabonga so okuningi. Angithinte kakhulu amazwi akho nomculo wakho kusihlwa. ” Mfana, ngithole ukuthi akulungile. 

Ungahluleli ngokubukeka, kepha yahlulela ngokwahlulela okulungile. (Johane 7:24)

Isahlulelo siqala njengomcabango. Nginenketho ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi ngiyithathe ngiyenze isigqila ngiyenze ilalele uKristu… noma ngiyivumele ithathe kimi. Uma owokugcina, kufana nokuvumela isitha ukuba siqale ukwakha inqaba enhliziyweni yami lapho ngigcina omunye umuntu eboshiwe (futhi ekugcineni, nami uqobo). Ungalenzi iphutha: enjalo inqaba ngokushesha ingaba a inqaba lapho isitha singachithi sikhathi ekuthumeleni izithunywa zaso ukusola, ukungathembani, intukuthelo, ukuncintisana nokwesaba. Ngibonile ukuthi imindeni emihle yamaKhristu isiqalile kanjani ukwephuka njengoba ivumela lezi zahlulelo ukuthi zifinyelele ekuphakameni kwesakhiwo esikhulu; yehla kanjani imishado yamaKrestu ngaphansi kwesisindo samanga; nokuthi izizwe ziqhekeka kanjani njengoba zenza ama-caricature komunye nomunye kunokulalela omunye.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, sinezikhali ezinamandla zokudiliza lezi zinqaba. Lapho zisencane, zisesimo sembewu, kulula ukunciphisa lezi zahlulelo ngokuzenza zilalele uKristu, okusho ukuthi, ukwenza imicabango yethu ihambisane nomqondo kaKristu:

Thanda izitha zakho, wenze okuhle kulabo abakuzondayo, ubusise labo abakuqalekisayo, ubathandazele labo abakuphatha kabi ... Yiba nomusa, njengoba noYihlo enesihe… Yeka ukwahlulela futhi ngeke wahlulelwe. Yeka ukulahla futhi ngeke ulahlwe. Thethelela uzothethelelwa. Yipha futhi izipho uzonikezwa zona ... Susa ugongolo lokhuni esweni lakho kuqala; lapho-ke uzobona kahle ukususa ucezwana olusesweni lomfowenu… Ungabuyiseli okubi ngokubi; khathalela okuhle phambi kwamehlo abo bonke ... Unganqotshwa okubi kepha nqoba okubi ngokuhle. (Roma 12:17, 21)

Kodwa-ke, lapho lezi zinqaba zithatha impilo yazo, zizifaka ngokujulile emndenini wethu, futhi zilimaza ubudlelwano bethu, zidinga umhlatsheloUmkhuleko, irosari, ukuzila ukudla, ukuphenduka, ukuqhubeka kokuxolela, ukubekezela, ukuqina, iSakramente Lokuvuma, njll. Imibuzo Ngokukhululwa). Esinye isikhali “esinamandla amakhulu” esivame ukubukelwa phansi amandla we ukuthobeka. Lapho siletha ubuhlungu, ubuhlungu, nokungaqondi kahle ekukhanyeni, sinamaphutha ethu futhi sicela intethelelo (noma ngabe elinye iqembu lingenalo), imvamisa lezi zinqaba zimane ziwele phansi. USathane usebenza ebumnyameni, ngakho-ke uma siletha izinto ekukhanyeni kweqiniso, uyabaleka. 

UNkulunkulu ungukukhanya, futhi kuye abukho ubumnyama nhlobo. Uma sithi, “Sinobudlelwano naye,” sibe siqhubeka sihamba ebumnyameni, sinamanga futhi asenzi iqiniso. Kepha uma sihamba ekukhanyeni njengoba naye esekukhanyeni, khona-ke sinenhlanganyelo omunye nomunye, negazi leNdodana yakhe uJesu liyasihlambulula ezonweni zonke. (1 Johane 1: 5-7)

 

HLALA ISITOBHA UXWAYISE

Yiba nesizotha futhi uqaphele. Isitha sakho uSathane uzulazula njengengonyama ebhongayo efuna [umuntu] engamshwabadela. Melanani naye niqinile ekukholweni, nazi ukuthi abafowenu eninabo emhlabeni wonke nabo bahlupheka ngokufanayo. (1 Pet. 5: 8-9)

Abaningi benu bangibhalile bangitshela ukuthi imindeni yenu ihlukana kanjani ngendlela engachazeki nokuthi kukhula kanjani ukwahlukana phakathi kwabangane bakho nezihlobo. Lokhu kumane nje kuhlangana ngokwandayo ngemithombo yezokuxhumana, okuyindawo ekahle yokuthi ukwahlulela kukhuthaze ngoba asikwazi ukuzwa noma ukubona umuntu ekhuluma. Lokhu kushiya indawo yomhlaba wokuchazwa ngokungeyikho ekuphawuleni komunye. Ngamanye amagama, uma ufuna ukuqala ukwelashwa ebuhlotsheni bakho obushaywa yizinqumo ezingamanga, yeka ukusebenzisa imithombo yezokuxhumana, ukuthumela imiyalezo nge-imeyili kanye ne-imeyili ukuxhumana nemizwa yakho lapho kungenzeka khona. 

Kufanele sibuyele ekuxhumaneni emindenini yethu. Ngiyazibuza ukuthi wena, emndenini wakho, uyakwazi ukuxhumana noma ufana nalezo zingane ematafuleni okudla lapho wonke umuntu exoxa ngomakhalekhukhwini wakhe… lapho kuthule khona njengaseMiseni kodwa bengakhulumisani? —UPOP FRANCIS, Disemba 29, 2019; bbc.com

Vele, nje ukucaphuna UPapa Francis uzokwenza ukuthi abanye bahoxe baye enqabeni yokwahlulela. Kepha ake sime isikhashana lapha ngoba uPhapha ukhona inhloko yamaKhatholika umndeni futhi, nayo, kubonakala sengathi iyahlukana. Isibonelo: bangaki abantu abahlulele ukuthi uBaba oNgcwele uzoshintsha imithetho ngokungashadi base bethatha izinkundla zokuxhumana ukumemezela ukuthi uFrancis "uzobhubhisa iSonto"? Futhi nokho, namuhla, unakho kwagcina isiyalo seSonto esesinesikhathi eside sikhona mayelana nokungashadi kwabapristi. Noma bangaki abalahle uFrancis ngokuthengisa ngamabomu iSonto lamaShayina engenawo wonke amaqiniso? Izolo, uKhadinali Zen waseChina uphonsa ukukhanya okusha kulwazi lukaPapa ngokwenzeka lapho:

Isimo sibi kakhulu. Futhi umthombo akuyena upapa. Upapa akazi okuningi ngeChina… Ubaba Ongcwele uFrancis ukhombisa ukungithanda okukhethekile. Ngilwa [noKhadinali Pietro] Parolin. Ngoba izinto ezimbi zivela kuye. —UKhadinali Joseph Zen, Febhuwari 11, 2020, I-Catholic News Agency

Ngakho-ke, yize uPapa engadluli ukugxekwa futhi ewenzile amaphutha, waze waxolisa esidlangalaleni ngamanye awo, akukho mbuzo wokuthi ukubhujiswa, ukwesaba, nokwehlukana okuningi engikufundile kungumphumela wabantu abathile kanye nabezindaba bakwakha ngaphandle komoya omncane. Bakhiphe ukulandisa okungamanga kokuthi uPapa ubhubhisa iSonto ngamabomu; konke akushoyo noma akwenzayo, lapho-ke, kuhlungwa nge-hermeneutic yezinsolo ngenkathi inani elikhulu le- imfundiso ye-orthodox cishe ayinakwa. Bakhe inqaba yokwahlulela, okuxakayo ukuthi isiqala ukuba isonto elifanayo lezinhlobo, emsondeza eduze noqhekeko. Kuyafaneleka ukusho ukuthi bobabili uPapa nomhlambi banendima abangayidlala kulokho okulingana nokuxhumana okungasebenzi kahle emndenini kaNkulunkulu.

Ngibhala lokhu endaweni yokudlela encane yedolobha; izindaba zidlala ngemuva. Ngizwa ukwahlulela kwesinye nesinye njengoba abezindaba abakhulu bengasazami ukufihla ukukhetha kwabo; njengezipolitiki zobunikazi nokusayinwa kobuhle manje sekuthathe indawo yobulungiswa nemikhuba yokuziphatha. Abantu bahlulelwa ngokuphelele ngokuthi bavota kanjani, umbala wesikhumba sabo (umhlophe omnyama omusha), nokuthi bayazamukela yini izimfundiso "zokufudumala kwembulunga yonke", "amalungelo okuzala" kanye "nokubekezelelana." Izepolitiki seziyi- inkundla yezimayini ngokuphelele yezobudlelwano namuhla njengoba iqhubeka ngokuqhutshwa yimibono kune-praxis nje. USathane umi ngakwesokhohlo nangakwesokudla—ngokungenisa ngobuqili imiphefumulo ohlangothini lwesobunxele lobuKhomanisi noma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ezithembisweni ezingenalutho ezingakwesobunxiwankulu ezinganqandeki, ngaleyo ndlela kubeka ubaba ngokumelene nendodana, umama ngokumelene nendodakazi, nomfowabo ngokumelene nomfowabo. 

Yebo, imimoya ye Ukuvukelwa Komhlaba Bengilokhu ngikuxwayisa mayelana neminyaka eminingi beyiswa esivunguvungwini, iSiphepho Esikhulu, ngamaphiko alezo zingelosi eziwile ukwesaba futhi isahlulelo. Lawa ngamademoni angempela ahlose ukwenza ukubhujiswa kwangempela. Ikhambi lamanga abo libandakanya ukuthatha ngamabomu imicabango yethu futhi siyenze ilalele uKristu. Empeleni kulula kakhulu: fana nengane encane bese wembula ukholo lwakho kuKristu ngokulalela ngokuphelele izwi Lakhe:

Uma ungithanda, gcina imiyalo yami. (Johane 14:15)

Futhi lokho kusho ukwenqaba…

… Sonke isimo sengqondo nezwi okungenzeka ukuthi lidalele [omunye] ukulimala okungenabulungisa… [ngisho] ngokuthula, [kucatshangwa] ukuthi kuyiqiniso, ngaphandle kwesisekelo esanele, iphutha lokuziphatha kukamakhelwane… [lokungadaluli] amaphutha omunye umuntu nokwehluleka kwakhe kubantu angibazi… [ukugwema] ukuphawula okuphikisana neqiniso, [lokho] kulimaza isithunzi sabanye futhi kunikeza ithuba lokwahlulela okungamanga ngabo… [nokuhumusha] ngangokunokwenzeka imicabango, amazwi nezenzo zomakhelwane wakhe ngendlela evumayo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2477-2478

Ngale ndlela — indlela yothando — singaxosha amadimoni okwesaba nokwahlulela… okungenani, ngokusuka ezinhliziyweni zethu.

Akukho ukwesaba othandweni, kepha uthando olupheleleyo luyaxosha ukwesaba. (1 Johane 4:18)

 

Ukusekelwa kwakho kwezezimali nemithandazo yakho kungani
ufunda lokhu namuhla.
 Akubusise futhi ngiyabonga. 

Ukuhamba noMark in The Manje iZwi,
chofoza isibhengezo esingezansi ukuze ubhalise.
I-imeyili yakho ngeke yabiwe nanoma ngubani.
