Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoJanuwari 15, 2008. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukufunda futhi…
WE ziyakhohliswa.
AmaKrestu amaningi akholelwa ukuthi uSathane unqobile njengoba umphakathi uqhubeka nokuwela ngokukhululeka ezintweni ezibonakalayo, inkanuko, nokungabi namthetho. Kepha uma sicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuyinjongo enkulu kaSathane, sikhohlisiwe.
UKUKHOHLISA NGOKOMOYA
Enye yezingcaphuno zikaPapa John Paul II ezingasoze zalibaleka zavela kumanduleli wakhe, owathi,
Isono sekhulu leminyaka ukulahleka komuzwa wesono. —UPOPI PIUS XII, Ikheli Lomsakazo e-United States Catechetical Congress ebanjelwe eBoston; 26 Okthoba, 1946: AAS Discorsi e Radiomessaggi, VIII (1946), 288
Yilokhu kulahlekelwa komqondo wesono okuye kwaholela imiphefumulo eminingi ekudukeni ezikhathini zethu, njengoHansel noGretel baleyo nganekwane yakudala. Njengoba zilahlekile ehlathini, lezi zingane ezimbili zizithela phezu kwendlu eyakhiwe ngoswidi nesinkwa sejinja. Umthakathi, ozenza isalukazi esincane, ubayenga ngokubathembisa ukuthi bazothola noma yini abayifunayo. Kodwa izinhloso zomthakathi wukubabhubhisa.
Kanjalo futhi, udeveli ubelokhu eyenga lesi siko esitolo sikaswidi sesono. Nakuba icebo lesitha lihlala lisibangela ukuba senze isono, ikakhulukazi ukuwela esonweni esifayo esinqamula umphefumulo emuseni ongcwelisayo, akulona uhlelo lwakhe olukhulu lolu. UJesu usevele walembulile icebo “elikhulu”:
Lapho nibona amanyala encithakalo emi lapho kungafanele khona (ofundayo makaqonde), khona-ke abaseJudiya mababalekele ezintabeni… (Marku 13:14)
Isu likaSathane eliwubungcweti liwukuthatha indawo yenhlalakahle kaNkulunkulu ngohlelo lukaSathane. Kuwukunciphisa umuntu, owenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu futhi wakhululwa ngesiphambano sikaKristu, ebugqilini. Kungukuguqula amandla endalo nokuphila kube isinengiso. Ekugcineni, ukukhonzwa ngabantu.
[UmProfethi Wamanga] wasebenzisa wonke amandla esilo sokuqala phambi kwaso futhi wenza umhlaba nabakhileyo kuwo bakhulekele isilo sokuqala [Umphikukristu]. (IsAmbulo 13:12)
Ngabe lolu hlelo lufezwa kanjani? Ngokuyenga izwe emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka lisuka ekukhulekeleni uNkulunkulu liye ekukhulekeleni ingqondo yomuntu, engenalo ukholo. I-Candy Store ngempela iyindawo lapho umuntu engathola khona noma yini ayifunayo, ngesikhathi ayifunayo, nangendlela akufuna ngayo ngoba uye wacabanga ukuthi angakwazi, futhi empeleni, akekho uNkulunkulu—ukusindisa umuntu ngokwakhe—ongamtshela ukuthi angeke.
Kodwa kwenzekani uma unoswidi omningi? Awuyifuni into enempilo? Imifino, isaladi, ucezu lwenyama yenkomo ... akukho okunye ngaphandle koswidi?
INKOHLISO ENKULU
Lapha kulele Inkohliso Enkulu: USathane uyazi ukuthi senziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke, senzelwe, futhi sifisa emnyombeni wethu, izinto ezinempilo—lokho umoya futhi ukuphila. Nakuba lesi sizukulwane singakaqapheli ngokugcwele ukuthi siyagula ngenxa yokudla okungenamsoco kwesono, lokhu kuqaphela kuzofika ekugcineni; usuku lapho lesi sizukulwane siyoba khona fisa ubulula, ukuthula, uthando, nezinto zikamoya.
Futhi yilapho uSathane eyothatha isinyathelo sakhe—ukugcwalisa izifiso zenhliziyo yomuntu, kodwa nge isisombululo esingamanga, futhi ekugcineni, a unkulunkulu wamanga.
Lokhu ngikusho kini manje ukuze nikwazi okwenzekayo uma sekuqala ukwenzeka. Ngoba izisombululo uSathane azoziletha ngokusebenzisa amandla akhe ziyobonakala ziphendula yakho ukulangazelela! Yingakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ubukele futhi uthandaze manje ngosizo nangomusa weNkosikazi Yethu, uMphongolo wesiphephelo. Kuphela kulobu bunye noKristu ngomthandazo, amaSakramente, iNkosazana Yethu, futhi ikakhulukazi inhliziyo ethobekile nelalelayo, lapho uzokwazi khona ukubona Inkohliso Enkulu.
SONDELA ESIHLALWENI SOMUSA
Uma ufuna ukuzwa isiqondiso seNkosi kulezi zinsuku, sebenzisa isikhathi njalo ngaphambi kweSakramente Elingcwele. Ngibonile empilweni yami nasezimpilweni zamanye amaKristu amaningi, ikakhulukazi muva nje, ukuthi uNkulunkulu unjalo ephalaza iziyalo nomusa omkhulu kulabo abeza phambi Kwakhe ngesidlo esingcwele.
