Imibhalo yenkolo lapha
LAPHO amaKhatholika amaningi ahlalela ovalweni oluthile njengoba iSinodi Yomndeni eRoma iqhubeka nokuqubuka empikiswaneni, ngithandazela ukuthi abanye babone okunye: uNkulunkulu wembula ukugula kwethu kukho konke. Wembula eSontweni Lakhe ukuziqhenya kwethu, ukuqhosha kwethu, ukuhlubuka kwethu, futhi mhlawumbe ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukungabi nalukholo kwethu.
Ngokuba ubuKristu nensindiso akuyona rocket-science. Iqondile impela, njengoba uSt. Paul esikhumbuza esifundweni sokuqala sanamuhla:
Isono akufanele sibuse phezu kwemizimba yenu efayo ukuze nilalele izinkanuko zayo... ukulalela, okuholela ekulungeni?
Zimbili izindlela zomuntu ngamunye: ukulandela intando yoMdali, noma intando yomuntu siqu. Ukulandela intando yomuntu ngokuphambana nemithetho kaNkulunkulu kubizwa ngokuthi “isono”. Futhi lokhu kuholela ekufeni: ubumnyama ezinhliziyweni zethu, ubumnyama ebudlelwaneni, ubumnyama emadolobheni ethu, ubumnyama ezizweni zethu, nobumnyama emhlabeni. Futhi ngakho uJesu, "ukukhanya kwezwe",[1]isib. Johane 8:11 weza ukusikhulula kulobu bumnyama, emandleni esono esiholela ebugqilini.
Ukukhanya okuqinisileyo okukhanyisa wonke umuntu, kwakuza ezweni... abantu abahlezi ebumnyameni babone ukukhanya okukhulu, phezu kwabakhileyo ezweni elisibekelwe ngukufa, ukukhanya kuphumile. ( Johane 1:9; Mathewu 4:16 )
Ngithi uKristu, ukukhanya kwethu, ukhanyisa ukuziqhenya nokuqhakanjiswa kweSonto kulelihora — ikakhulukazi lelo “labasadla ngoludala” —ngoba abaningi sebekhohliwe ukuthi konke abakutholile kungumusa kuphela. Kulula ukuhlala ukwahlulela ababhishobhi, abapristi, futhi yebo, opapa, futhi ulahle amaphutha abo. Kulula ukufunda izihloko zezindaba bese ukhomba ngeminwe kumaqaba. Kepha onjalo ukhohliwe ukuthi wayengagcini nje ngokuba yisinxibi iNkosi eyamdlula futhi yamvusa emseleni, kepha nokuthi usengumuntu ocelayo umphefumulo wakhe emaphashini akhe uyisipho esivela eNkosini efanayo. Konke okusanhlamvu kobuhle nobungcwele kungumusa — wonke umusa.
Kungenxa yakhe ukuthi nikuKristu Jesu... ukuze, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: “Ozibongayo, makazincome eNkosini.” (Funda eyoku-1 Korinte 1:30-31.)
Ngithi uKristu, ukukhanya kwethu, ukhanyisa ukuhlubuka kanye nokuntula ukholo kweBandla—ikakhulukazi “abakhululekile”—ngoba abaningi bakhohlwe (noma banganaki ngamabomu) iVangeli lokuphenduka. Baye baba yize ekucabangeni kwabo namagwala alungisa ezombangazwe aye azikhohlisela ekukholelweni ukuthi isono asisona: lokho “okuholela ekufeni.”
Bafowethu nodade, uSathane usethulule isifufula senkohliso emhlabeni wethu, kodwa ikakhulukazi ebhekiswe eBandleni.
Inyoka, nokho, ikhiphe isifufula samanzi emlonyeni wayo ngemuva kokuthi lo wesifazane amkhukhulise ngalo msinga. (IsAm 12:15)
Le mpi esizithola kuyo… [silwa] namandla abhubhisa umhlaba, kukhulunywa ngayo esahlukweni 12 seSambulo… Kuthiwa udrako uqondisa umfula omkhulu wamanzi kulowo wesifazane obalekayo, ukumshanela… ngicabanga ukuthi kulula ukuhumusha lokho okumelwe ngumfula: yila maqhuqhuva abusa wonke umuntu, futhi afuna ukuqeda ukholo lweBandla, olubukeka lungenandawo yokuma phambi kwamandla ale misinga eziphoqa njengeyona kuphela indlela yokucabanga, ukuphela kwendlela yokuphila. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, umhlangano wokuqala wesigungu esikhethekile eMiddle East, ngo-Okthoba 10, 2010
Kodwa-ke, lapho sikhohlwa ukuthi siyizinxibi, khohlwa ukuthi uJesu akafuni kithi kuphela inkolelo-ze kodwa ukulalela, hhayi ukholo kuphela kodwa nothando, hhayi ubulungisa kuphela kodwa nomusa, hhayi isihawu kuphela kodwa ubulungisa ... ngakho nathi sisengozini yokukhukhulwa izimo ezingaphansi kokuqhosha, ukugabadela, ukuzithela ngabandayo nobumpumputhe.
UmKhatholika ongaphili ngokweqiniso nangobuqotho ngokholo alushoyo ngeke ahlale ezilawula kulezi zinsuku lapho kuvunguza imimoya yezingxabano nokushushiswa okukhulu, kepha uzokhukhuleka angakwazi ukuzivikela kulozamcolo omusha osongela umhlaba . Futhi-ke, ngenkathi elungiselela incithakalo yakhe, wembula ukugcona lona kanye igama lomKristu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Divini Redemptoris “KubuKhomanisi Obungakholelwa KuNkulunkulu”, n. 43; Mashi 19, 1937
Ngakho, iVangeli lanamuhla liyi- isixwayiso kulabo abalala ekukholweni kwabo—ngandlela thize.
Nani-ke hlalani nilungile, ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu izakufika ngehora eningalicabangiyo… isikhathi? Ibusisiwe leyo nceku okuyakuthi inkosi yayo ekufikeni iyifumane yenze njalo. (Ivangeli Lanamuhla)
Impendulo yalokhu Isivunguvungu Esikhulu, futhi isiphithiphithi esikhona nesizayo, siwukumane sithathe iNkosi Yethu ezwini Layo: ukuba nokholo Kuyo njengomntwana; ukuphenduka ezonweni zethu njengezoni esiyizo; kanye nokufuna amandla akhe njengesinxibi esimpofu ukuze asisize siphile ekukhanyeni: “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele... Nkosi, ngifuna ukubona.” [2]Maka i-10: 47, i-51
Ukukhumbula lokho konke kungumusa. Futhi uma ukhumbula, nakho lokho kuwumusa.
Lapho abantu besivukela, ngabe basigwinya siphila... Khona amanzi ngabe asikhukhule; isifufula ngabe wasikhukhula; phezu kwethu ngabe wakhukhula amanzi adlayo. Makabongwe uJehova ongasishiyanga isisulu emazinyweni abo… Ugibe olwaphukile, futhi sakhululwa. Usizo lwethu lusegameni likaJehova owenzile izulu nomhlaba (Ihubo Lanamuhla)
Hlala ulungele imbiza yakho kawoyela
Ngokufaneleka nezenzo,
Kwanele ukugcina
Isibani sakho sivutha
Hleze ungagcinwa ngaphandle
Lapho Efika.
Ungabi budedengu.
—USt. UTeresa wase-Avila
