Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngo-Ephreli 24, 2007. Kunezinto eziningana enhliziyweni yami iNkosi ebilokhu ikhuluma nami, futhi ngiyabona ukuthi eziningi zazo zifingqiwe kulombhalo odlule. Umphakathi ufinyelela eqophelweni elibilayo, ikakhulukazi ngemizwa elwa nobuKristu. KumaKristu, kusho ukuthi siyangena ihora lenkazimulo, umzuzwana wobufakazi bobuqhawe kulabo abasizondayo ngokubanqoba ngothando.
Umbhalo olandelayo uyisandulela sendaba ebaluleke kakhulu Ngifuna ukukhuluma maduzane mayelana nomqondo odumile wokuthi "upapa omnyama" (njengobubi) ocabanga upapa. Kepha kuqala…
Baba, ihora selifikile. Nika indodana yakho inkazimulo, ukuze indodana yakho ikukhazimulise. (Johane 17: 1)
Ngikholwa ukuthi iSonto selisondela esikhathini lapho lizodlula khona eNsimini yaseGetsemane futhi lingene ngokuphelele othandweni lwalo. Lokhu, nokho, ngeke kube yihora lokujabha kwakhe - kunalokho, kuzoba njalo ihora lenkazimulo yakhe.
Kwakuyintando yeNkosi ukuthi… thina esihlengiwe ngegazi laKhe eliyigugu sihlale singcweliswa ngokwesibonelo sothando lwaso. —USt. Gaudentius waseBrescia, Liturgy of the Hours, Vol II, P. 669
Ihora lehlazo
Ihora lamahloni selisondela emaphethelweni. Yilelo hora lapho sifakaze khona ngaphakathi eSontweni labo "bapristi abakhulu" kanye "nabafarisi" abakhe uzungu lokufa kwakhe. Abafunanga ukuphela “kwesikhungo,” kodwa bazamile ukuletha ukuphela kweQiniso njengoba sazi. Ngakho-ke, kwamanye amasonto, amapherishi, kanye nemibhoshosho akuzange kube khona ukonakala kwemfundiso kuphela, kodwa nomzamo ohlangene wokukhumbuza uKristu wasemlandweni.
Yihora lapho abefundisi kanye nabantu abavamile ngokufanayo belele khona eNsimini, belele phakathi nomlindo wasebusuku lapho isitha siqhubekela phambili ngamathoshi okukholwa kanye nokuziphendulela kokuziphatha; lapho ubulili nokuziphatha okubi sekungene enhliziyweni yeSonto; lapho ukunganaki nokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo kumphazamisile emsebenzini wakhe wokuletha Izindaba Ezinhle kwabalahlekile, okuholele ekutheni abaningi abalahlekelwe yimiphefumulo yabo.
Sekuyihora lapho ngisho nabanye okhadinali, ababhishobhi, kanye nezazi zemfundiso yenkolo ezidumile bevukele “ukwanga” uKristu ngevangeli elibekezelela nelikhululekile, ukuze “bakhulule” izimvu “ekucindezelweni.”
Ikona ukwanga kukaJuda.
Bayasukuma amakhosi omhlaba, izikhulu zakhela iNkosi noGcotshiweyo wakhe uzungu. “Wozani, masigqabule izibopho zabo, wozani, silahle ijoka labo.” (AmaHubo 2: 2-3)
IZIMPAHLA ZIKAJUDAS
Kukhona isikhathi esisondelayo lapho kuzoba khona ukuqabulana — okuqhamuka kulabo ababa yizisulu zomoya wezwe. Njengoba ngibhale ku ushushiso, kungathatha isimo sokufunwa iSonto elingenakukuvumela.
Ngaba nomunye umbono wosizi olukhulu… Kubonakala kimi ukuthi kwakufunwa imvume kubefundisi ababengeke bayinikwe. Ngabona abapristi abaningi asebekhulile, ikakhulukazi oyedwa, ababekhala kamunyu. Abambalwa abasebasha nabo babekhala… Kwakungathi abantu bahlukana ngamakamu amabili. —Ubusisiwe u-Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824); Impilo Nezambulo zika-Anne Catherine Emmerich; umyalezo kusuka ngo-Ephreli 12, 1820.
Kuzoba yiThembekile uma kuqhathaniswa nebandla “elibuyekeziwe”, iSonto liqhathaniswa nephikisana nebandla, iVangeli liqhathaniswa nevangeli eliphikisayo — ne I-International Criminal Court ohlangothini lokugcina.
Lapho-ke bayakunikhaphela osizini, banibulale; njalo lizazondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yebizo lami. (Math 24: 9)
Ngemuva kwalokho kuzoqala Ukuhlakazeka Okukhulu, isikhathi sokudideka kanye isiphithiphithi.
Bese kuthi-ke abaningi bakhubeke, bakhaphelane, bazondane. Futhi abaprofethi bamanga abaningi bayovela badukise abaningi. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ububi buyanda, uthando lwamadoda amaningi luzophola. Kodwa okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni nguyena oyakusindiswa. (vs. 10-13)
Futhi nansi inkazimulo yomhlambi kaJesu othembekile — labo abangene esiphephelweni nasemphongolweni weNhliziyo Yakhe Engcwele ngalesi sikhathi isikhathi somusa—Iqala ukwenzeka…
UKUHLAKAZA KAKHULU
Vuka, nkemba, uvukele umalusi wami, uvukele umuntu engihlanganyela naye, ”usho uJehova Sebawoti. Shaya umalusi ukuze izimvu zihlakazeke, bese ngiphendulela isandla sami kwabancane. (Zakariya 13: 7)
Ngiyaphinda futhi, ngiyawezwa amazwi kaPapa Benedict XVI emcimbini wakhe wokuqala wokuzalwa ekhala ezindlebeni zami:
UNkulunkulu, owaba yiwundlu, usitshela ukuthi umhlaba usindiswa ngaLowo obethelwe esiphambanweni, hhayi ngalabo abambethela… Ngikhulekeleni, ukuze ngingabaleki ngokwesaba izimpisi. -I-Homily yokuqala, UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Ephreli 24, 2005, iSt. Peter's Square).
Ngokuzithoba kwakhe okujulile nokwethembeka, uPapa Benedict uyabubona ubunzima bezinsuku zethu. Ngoba izikhathi ezizayo zizonyakazisa ukholo lwabaningi.
UJesu wathi kubo, “Kulobu busuku nonke ukholo lwenu luzonyakaziswa, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: 'Ngizoshaya umalusi, izimvu zomhlambi zihlakazeke.'” (Math 26:31)
Ngenkathi ngihamba ngidlula eMelika ohambweni lwethu lwamakhonsathi kule Ntwasahlobo, ngangizwa emoyeni wami isimo esishubile esivamile lapho sasiyakhona—okuthile okuzophuka. Kusikhumbuza amazwi kaSt. Leopold Mandic (1866–1942 AD):
Qaphela ukugcina ukholo lwakho, ngoba ngokuzayo, iSonto e-USA lizohlukaniswa neRoma. -Umphik'ukristu Nezikhathi Zokuphela, Fr. UJoseph Iannuzzi, iSt Andrew's Productions, P. 31
USt. Paul usixwayisa ngokuthi uJesu ngeke abuye kuze kwenzeke "ukuhlubuka" (2 Thes 2: 1-3). Leso yisikhathi lapho ngokomfanekiso abaphostoli babaleka engadini… kepha kwaqala ngisho nangaphambi kwalokho njengoba belele e ukozela kokungabaza nokwesaba.
UNkulunkulu uzovumela ububi obukhulu obumelene neBandla: izihlubuki nabashiqela bazofika ngokuzumayo nangokungalindelekile; bazongena eSontweni ngenkathi ababhishobhi, abefundisi, nabapristi belele. —UVenerable Bartholomew Holzhauser (1613-1658 AD); Ibid. ikhasi 30
Vele, sikubonile okuningi kwalokhu eminyakeni engamashumi amane edlule. Kepha engikhuluma ngakho lapha kungumvuthwandaba walokhu kuhlubuka. Kuzoba khona insali ezoqhubekela phambili. Ingxenye yomhlambi ezohlala ithembekile kuJesu ngazo zonke izindlela.
Yeka izinsuku ezikhazimulayo ezizayo phezu kweBandla! Ubufakazi bothando—uthando lwezitha zethu-Izoguqula imiphefumulo eminingi.
IWUNDLU ELITHUSILE
Njengoba nje izingongolo zomhlaba kazibuthe zisenqubweni yokubuyela emuva, kanjalo-ke kukhona nokuguqulwa “kwezigxobo ezingokomoya.” Okungalungile kubhekwa njengokulungile, kanti okulungile kuthathwa njengokungabekezeleli futhi okunenzondo. Kunokungabekezelelani okukhulayo eSontweni naseQinisweni elikukhulumayo, inzondo okumanje ilele ngaphansi nje kobuso. Ukunyakaza okunzima kuyaqhubeka Europe ukuthulisa iSonto nokusula izimpande zalo lapho. ENyakatho Melika, uhlelo lwezobulungiswa luya ngokuvala umlomo inkululeko yokukhuluma. Futhi kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba, ubuKhomanisi nobuqotho bamaSulumane bafuna ukuqeda inkolo, imvamisa ngodlame.
Ngehlobo eledlule ngesikhathi sokuvakasha okufushane, umpristi nomngani waseLouisiana, uFr. UKyle Dave, wasukuma ebhasini lethu lokuvakasha wababaza ngaphansi kokugcotshwa okunamandla,
Isikhathi samazwi sesizophela!
Kuzoba yisikhathi lapho, njengoJesu ngaphambi kwabashushisi Bakhe, iBandla lizothula. Konke okushiwo kuzobe sekushiwo. Ufakazi wakhe uzobe engenamazwi.
Kodwa ukuthanda sizokhuluma kakhulu.
Yebo, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthumela indlala ezweni, kungabi yindlala yesinkwa, noma ukomela amanzi, kodwa kube ngukuzwa izwi likaJehova. (Amose 8:11)
UMZIMBA KAKRESTU… UKUNQOBA!
Kuleli Gethsemane lapho iSonto lizithola khona kuzo zonke izizukulwane ngezinga elithile, kodwa lizoba khona ngesikhathi esithile ngokuqinisekile, abathembekile bafanekiselwa, hhayi kakhulu kubaPhostoli, kodwa eNkosini uqobo. Thina kukhona umzimba kaKristu. Futhi njengoba ikhanda lalingena othandweni lwaKhe, kanjalo noMzimba Wakhe kufanele uthathe isiphambano sawo bese umlandela.
Kepha akusikho ukuphela lokhu! Lesi akusona isiphetho! Ukulindela iSonto kuyinto inkathi yokuthula okukhulu nenjabulo lapho uNkulunkulu evuselela umhlaba wonke. Ibizwa ngokuthi “Ukunqoba Kwenhliziyo Engaphelele kaMariya” ngoba ukunqoba kwakhe ukusiza iNdodana yakhe — uMzimba neNhloko — ukuchoboza inyoka ngaphansi kwesithende saKhe (Gen 3:15) isikhathi esingokomfanekiso “seminyaka eyinkulungwane” ( IsAm 20: 2). Lesi sikhathi sizoba futhi “Ukubusa Kwenhliziyo Engcwele KaJesu,” ngoba ukuba khona kukaKristu kuMthendeleko kuzokwaziwa emhlabeni wonke, njengoba iVangeli lifinyelela emaphethelweni omhlaba ngokuqhakaza ngokuphelele “kokuvangela okusha.” Kuzophela ngokuthululwa okugcwele koMoya oNgcwele "ngePentekoste elisha" elizovula umbuso woMbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni kuze kube yilapho uJesu, iNkosi, efika enkazimulweni njengeJaji ezobanga uMlobokazi Wakhe, eqala ukwahlulela kokugcina. , nokungenisa amazulu amasha nomhlaba omusha.
Bayakukukhaphela osizini… Futhi leli vangeli lombuso liyoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke, kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke; futhi ke ukuphela kuyofika. (Mat 24: 9, 14).
Manje lapho lezi zinto ziqala ukwenzeka, bhekani phezulu futhi niphakamise amakhanda enu, ngoba ukuhlengwa kwenu kuyasondela. (Luka 21:28)
