Izikebhe zeqhwa ze-polar

NGINE okukhulunywe ngayo ngaphambi kwabaseRoma 8, echaza imvelo ngokuthi “ibubula”, ilindele ukwambulwa kwamadodana namadodakazi kaNkulunkulu. Kunjengokungathi imvelo ihambisana nalokho okwenzekayo okungokomoya indawo.

Ngesikhathi somkhuleko ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, kwafika engqondweni ukuncibilika kwe-Polar Ice Caps. Ososayensi bathi ukuwohloka okusheshayo kuzoba nomthelela we-avalanche kwezinye i-eco-system. Kimina kubonakala sengathi lokhu kufana kwezinto ezinyakazayo futhi ezisazofika kwezomnotho nezenhlalo; ukuthi uma seziqalile, izinto zizokwenzeka ngokushesha.

Amazwi kaGandolf avela INkosi Yezindandatho buya emqondweni:

"Ukuphefumula okujulile ngaphambi kokucwila."

Ngomusa wakhe, uJesu uyabuza, "Usukulungele?"

LOKHU ISonto, uMkhosi Womusa Waphezulu, ngu kubalulekile usuku lomlando kanye nezilinganiso ze-cosmic engikholelwa ukuthi bambalwa eBandleni abakuqondayo. UPapa John Paul II wabiza uMkhosi Wesihe Saphezulu ngokuthi “ithemba lokugcina lensindiso yomhlaba.”

Onezindlebe kufanele ezwe.

(Kulowo ozinikela ekuVumeni nasekutholeni uMthendeleko ngalolo suku, uJesu uthembisa ukuthi sonke isono nesijeziso sesikhashana kuzosulwa. Kodwa ngikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzophinde anikeze umphefumulo “ovulekile” okuningi kakhulu.)

KUNYE Imoto ishosholoza ngophawu lomgwaqo omkhulu, kubonakala sengathi iNkosi ibilokhu ingibheka kafushane izinhlaka ezihlukene zomhlaba: ezomnotho, amandla ezombusazwe, iketango lokudla, ukuhleleka kokuziphatha, kanye nezinto ngaphakathi kweBandla. Futhi igama lihlala lifana:

NGIZWE izwi elinamandla eBandleni namhlanje ekuseni emkhulekweni mayelana ithelevishini:

Ubusisiwe umuntu ongalandeli iseluleko sababi; futhi akahlali endleleni yezoni, futhi akahlali phakathi kwabahleki bosulu, kepha okuthokoza kwakhe kungumthetho kaJehova nozindla ngomthetho wakhe imini nobusuku. (IHubo 1)

Umzimba kaKristu—amakholwa abhapathiziwe, athengwe ngenani legazi Lakhe——achitha ukuphila kwawo okungokomoya phambi kukamabonakude: elandela “iziluleko zababi” ngezinhlelo zokuzisiza kanye nezifundiswa ezizibekela yona; ukulibala “endleleni yezoni” kuma-sitcom; nokuhlala "enkampanini" yezinkulumo zasebusuku kukhombisa ukuthi yikuphi ukugcona nokuhlambalaza ubumsulwa nobuhle, uma kungeyona inkolo uqobo.

Ngizwa uJesu ememeza amazwi e-Apocalypse futhi: "Phuma kuye! Phuma eBhabhiloni!“Sekuyisikhathi sokuba uMzimba kaKristu wenze izinqumo. Akwanele ukuthi sithi ngiyakholwa kuJesu… bese sithokozisa imiqondo yethu kanye nemizwa yethu njengamaqaba ehlelweni elikhohlakele, uma kungelona elimelene neVangeli. UNkulunkulu unokuningi kakhulu angasinika kona ngomkhuleko: kulowo ozindla ngeZwi lakhe imini nobusuku.

Ngakho bopha izinkalo zokuqonda kwakho; phila ngokusangulukile; beka lonke ithemba lakho esibonelweni ozonikezwa sona lapho uJesu Kristu evela. Njengamadodana namadodakazi alalelayo, ningavumeli izinkanuko ezake zakubumba ngokungazi. Kunalokho, yibani ngcwele ngokwenu kuzo zonke izici zokuziphatha kwenu, ngokufana nalowo oNgcwele onibizile (1 Peter)

Nkosi Jesu, ukunotha kwethu kusenza singabi ngabantu, ukuzijabulisa kwethu kuphenduke isidakamizwa, umthombo wokuzihlukanisa, futhi umyalezo wethu ongapheli, oyisidina womphakathi uyisimemo sokufa ngenxa yobugovu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Isiteshi Sesine Sesiphambano, NgoLwesihlanu Oluhle 2006

IPHASIKA. Ngalolosuku lapho thina, isithelo sesiphambano, sifuna ukududuza uMduduzi; ukududuza uMduduzi; ukuthanda uMthandi.

O Jesu Othandekayo, enginakho nje ukukunikeza uviniga wobuthakathaka esipontshini sokuthobeka. Ukuthi uzokwamukela imizamo yami yokukududuza… kanye nokubonga kwami ​​ngesipho esikhulu kangaka njengeMpilo yakho.

THE Izwi lawela enhliziyweni yami njengethonsi lokuqala laseNtwasahlobo elivela eqhweni: "Kuza umzuzu "weNkosi Yezimpukane".

Uma usibonile isithombe esinyakazayo Inkosi Yezimpukane, bese ufunda. Uma ungakayiqashi, uzodinga ukuyiqasha noma ufunde incwadi ngaphambi kokuqhubeka (ISIXWAYISO: ulimi lwefilimu luluhlaza, kodwa lungokoqobo). Ngikholwa ngokweqiniso ukuthi yisithombe salokho okwenzeka emhlabeni, nalokho okuzayo, nokuthi uKristu ubuyisela lesi sithombe enkumbulweni ngesizathu. Lapho ngibuka le filimu muva nje, ngikhumbula “izwi” engangibonakala ngilizwa livela eNkosini, lashaya ingqondo yami.Qhubeka ukufunda →

INI hek.

Nganquma ukushayela ibhasi lethu labavakashi phansi kwe-Times Square, eNew York City.

Kwakusebusuku. Ubuso bethu babuka phezulu ngemuva kwebhulokhi yezibani ezikhanyayo, amabhodi ezikhangiso, nezikrini zamavidiyo. Abantu baseNew York basigqolozele phezulu: izingane eziyisithupha, ubuso bunamekwe emafasiteleni. Babejabulile njengoba nathi sasijabulile.

Kuyakhishwa. Ngesikhathi se-Ekaristian Adoration ngemva kweMisa namhlanje ekuseni, ngizindle ngalezi zibani ezikhanyayo ezikhanyisa i-Broadway njengemini. Futhi amazwi afika kimi, “Kuyinto a bamanga ukukhanya.” Ngempela, ngemva kwawo wonke amalambu kwakukhona isithembiso “sento” ethize: ukuzijabulisa okubonakalayo, imali, ukwanelisa ubulili, izikhumbuzo, utshwala… izinto. Kodwa akukho lapho ngabona khona isithembiso senjabulo engapheli-ukuthula kwangaphakathi kanye nenjabulo engavela kuphela ekuKhanyeni Kwezwe.

Konke bekuheha… kodwa ngendlela efanayo, mhlawumbe, ukuthi inundu likhangwa ku-bug zapper.

NGOKUPHUTHUMA Ngibhala lokhu kulobubusuku… kumele silungise izinhliziyo zethu kuNkulunkulu. Kufanele sibheke ngqo esonweni sethu, futhi siphenduke kuso— shiya ngemuva, phansi kwesiphambano.

UKUVUMA… kumele siye njalo. U-St. Pio uthe njalo ezinsukwini eziyi-8. UPapa John Paul II uthe njalo ngesonto. Kanye ngesonto… woza kuBaba, uthulule inhliziyo yakho, futhi umvumele akhulume amazwi okuthethelela nawokuphilisa. Kungani usabe isipho esikhulu kangaka?

Ngiyakuzwa ukuphikisa. Kodwa kubaluleke ngaphezu komsebenzi. Okubaluleke kakhulu kunebhola lezinyawo lezingane. Okubaluleke ngaphezu kokubuka ithelevishini. Umphefumulo wethu ubaluleke ngaphezu kwalezi zinto.

Kufanele silungise izinhliziyo zethu ukuze zithole ukuKhanya okukhulu ngokukhipha noma yini enhliziyweni yethu engadala isithunzi.

NGOKUPHENDULA kothile owabhala, engabaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu angakhuluma ngodlame lwemvelo:

Indalo ingekaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke unelungelo lokuqinisekisa ubukhona bakhe ukuthi uthanda nini futhi kanjani. Siyazi kusukela ekwambulweni kukaJesu Kristu, nangombhalo, ukuthi uNkulunkulu akayena nje onothando, uNkulunkulu UTHANDO. Ngakho-ke, unesihe, uyabekezela, futhi uyathethelela. Kepha futhi ulungile, futhi ngoba unguBaba wethu, umbhalo ufundisa ukuthi naye uyasiyala.

Futhi uNkulunkulu akasiphoqi isintu ukuba simthande… kepha inkokhelo yesono ingukufa. Ngamanye amagama, isintu sivuna esikutshalile. Uma sihlwanyela ukubhujiswa, yilokho esivuna kona, ngokwemvelo nangokomoya. Qhubeka ukufunda →

UTHANDO ayinalo ihlelo.

NGESIKHATHI umthandazo namhlanje, kwafika izwi kimi…

Akuselona ihora leshumi nanye. Kumabili ebusuku.

Kamuva ntambama, iqembu labesifazane lathandaza ngoFr. Mina noKyle Dave Njengoba benza, insimbi yesonto yakhala izikhathi eziyi-12.

EKUSENI IMisa, iNkosi yaqala ukukhuluma nami mayelana "neqembu"

Okunamathiselwe ezintweni, kubantu, noma emibonweni kusenza singakwazi ukukhuphuka njengokhozi ngoMoya oNgcwele; kudaka umphefumulo wethu, kusivimbe ekuboniseni iNdodana ngokuphelele; igcwalisa izinhliziyo zethu ngokunye, kunokuba kugcwalise uNkulunkulu.

Ngakho-ke iNkosi ifisa ukuba sisuswe kuzo zonke izifiso ezingaphezulu, hhayi ukusivimbela ekuzijabuliseni, kodwa ukusifaka injabulo yezulu.

Ngakuqonda ngokucace kakhudlwana ukuthi isiphambano ukuphela kwendlela yomKristu. Kunezinduduzo eziningi ekuqaleni kohambo lobuKristu oluqotho – i "honeymoon", ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Kepha uma umuntu efuna ukuthuthukela empilweni ejule kakhulu ebunyeni noNkulunkulu, kudinga ukuzilahla - ukwamukela ukuhlupheka nokuzincisha (sonke siyahlupheka, kepha yeka umehluko lapho sikuvumela ukuba kubulale ukuthanda kwethu ).

Ngabe uKristu wayengakasho lokhu?

Unless a grain of what falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. –Johane 12: 24

Ngaphandle kokuthi umKristu amukele iziphambano zempilo, uzohlala eyinsana. Kodwa uma efa ngokwakhe, uzothela izithelo eziningi. Uzokhula abe sesilinganisweni esigcwele sikaKristu.

KUPHELA ubusuku bokuqala bomsebenzi wesifunda saseSt. Gabriel, LA:

UPapa John Paul II wabonakala ekhuluma njengonethemba laphakade - ingilazi yayihlala igcwele isigamu. UPapa Benedict, okungenani njengoKhadinali, wayevamise ukubona ingilazi isigamu ingenalutho. Akukho nokukodwa ebekunephutha, ngoba yomibili imibono ibigxile empeleni. Ndawonye, ingilazi igcwele.

NAMUHLA umugqa ohamba phambili ebhasini lokuvakasha (ubhala usuka eSt. Gabriel, Louisiana):

Mama, ngilahlekelwe ushingamu wami!

Ukuphi uGreg?

Emlonyeni kaLevi!

UJESU uyaqhubeka nokungithumela emasontweni angenalutho… kodwa kukhona okungenani eyodwa yezimvu ezilahlekile. Lokhu ngiqinisekile ngakho.

Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? –Luka 15: 4

AT izikhathi uNkulunkulu ubonakala ekude kakhulu…

Kepha Akayona. UJesu wathembisa ukuhlala nathi kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi. Kunalokho, ngicabanga ukuthi kunezikhathi lapho esondela khona kakhulu ekukhanyeni Kwakhe okuguqulwe isimo, lowo mphefumulo womuntu uyakhwifa uze uvale amehlo. Ngakho-ke, sicabanga ukuthi sisebumnyameni, kanti akunjalo. Umphefumulo uphuphuthekiswe Uthando uqobo.

Kunezinye izikhathi futhi lapho umuzwa wokushiywa ufika ngenxa yezilingo ezimbi. Lokhu futhi kuyindlela yothando lukaKristu, ngoba ngokuvumela lesi siphambano esithile, Usilungiselela nethuna esizovuka kulo.

Futhi yini okufanele ife? Ukuzikhethela.

UKHOLO ukungakholwa ngoba sinobufakazi; ukukholwa ukuthembela lapho siphelelwe ubufakazi. Ikhonsathi likaRegina, ngoMashi 13, 2006

Ukududuzwa, imizwa efudumele, okuhlangenwe nakho okungokomoya, imibono, njll konke kufana nophethiloli wokwenza umuntu awele phansi komgwaqo. Kepha leyo nto engabonakali ibizwa ukholo kungukuphela kwamandla angaphakamisela umuntu ezulwini.

NGIVELE ngingene egumbini lami lokuthandazela, futhi indodana yami yesithathu uRyan, ovele wahlanganisa iminyaka emibili, wayemi ezinzwaneni zakhe ezincanyana ezama ukwanga izinyawo zesiphambano. Uvele wahlanganisa iminyaka emibili… Ngakho ngamphakamisa futhi ngambamba lapho ukuze angange. Wama kancane, wase ephendula ikhanda lakhe waqabula isilonda ngasohlangothini lukaKristu.

Ngaqala ukuthuthumela futhi ngafikelwa umunyu. Ngabona ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele wawungena ujule ngaphakathi kwendodana yami, engakwazi nokwakha umusho, ukuze iduduze uKristu, obheke umhlaba owile osezongena ku-Passion yawo.

UJesu yiba nomusa. Siyakuthanda.

NGAPHAMBILI i-Divine Liturgy (iMisa lase-Ukraine) ngesikhathi seLente, sonke singena ephaseji eliseceleni kwesihlalo, kuyilapho umpristi efunda umthandazo othi: “Njengoba usuhluphekile, Nkosi Jesu Kristu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, sihawukele.” Bese wonke umuntu eguqa ngamadolo akhothame ngobuso phansi. Lokhu kuculwa kathathu – isenzo esihle sokuthobeka nokukhuleka.

Namuhla ekuseni, ngenkathi umpristi eqala ukusho lo mkhuleko, ngezwa enhliziyweni yami ukuthi ngizwa kanjani ngokushesha ukuthi ingelosi yami engilondolozayo iyakhuluma: "Bengilapho. Ngimbonile ehlupheka. ”

Ngakhothamisa ubuso bami, ngakhala.

UKUZWA ukuhudula inyama yami emva kweSidlo, nganginomfanekiso wokuba semaphethelweni ehlathi eliminyene kakhulu nelasendulo….

Ngangikwazi ukuhamba phakathi kwehlathi elimnyama, ngangibhajwe emagatsheni nasemivinini. Kodwa-ke, ukukhanya kwangesikhathi esithile kweSonlight kwahlaba amahlamvu, kwageza ubuso bami esifudumaleni. Ngaso leso sikhathi, umphefumulo wami waqiniswa, nesifiso soku Inkululeko kwakunzima.

Yeka indlela engifisa ngayo ukufinyelela emathafeni avulekile, ihlane elimangelengele lapho inhliziyo igijimela khona futhi isibhakabhaka singenamkhawulo!

… Ngibe sengizwa ukuhleba, okubonakala kuqhutshwa kushaft yokuKhanya:

KANINGI singena eLenteni ngomuzwa wokwesaba – ukwesaba ukuzidela kokuzibulala.

Ngicabanga ukuthi yindlela okusanhlamvu okuzizwa ngayo njengoba kungcwatshwe ngaphansi komsele, noma isibungu njengoba sifakwa yikhokho, noma umququ njengoba uvinjelwe ngaphansi kweqhwa lasebusika.

Kodwa yeka ukuthi kudabukisa kanjani uma imbewu ibingabeka phezu komsele, bese imuka nomoya! Noma isibungu sinqabe umfece futhi singalokothi sivuke ngamaphiko! Noma izinhlanzi zibalekela amanzi aneqhwa bese ziminyaniswa yiqhwa!

O Mphefumulo, wamukele lesi Siphambano phambi kwakho. Kukhona Uvuko ngale kwethuna!

KONKE usuku, ngezwa ukuthi iNkosi ingithandazela ukuthandaza. Kepha ngasizathu simbe isikhathi sami sokuthandaza esijwayelekile sakhishwa kwaze kwaba phakathi kwamabili. “Kufanele ngithandaze noma ngilale? … Kuzoba ngovivi. ” Nganquma ukuthandaza.

Umphefumulo wami wagcwala injabulo enjalo, ukuthula okunjalo. Lokho inhliziyo yami ebingakuphuthelwa ukube ngiyeke umcamelo wami!

UJesu usilindile, ulangazelela ukusigcwalisa ngothando olungachazeki nezibusiso. Njengoba sibamba isikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, kufanele sibeke isikhathi sokuthandaza.

Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. –Johane 15: 5

UJESU wathi "iqiniso lizokukhulula."

The kuqala Iqiniso elisikhululayo ukuqashelwa hhayi kuphela kwesono sethu, kodwa nokwethu ukungabi nasizo. Ukuvuma ubumpofu bakho, ukungabi nalutho komuntu, ukudala indawo enhliziyweni engagcwaliswa ngengcebo kaNkulunkulu nokugcwala kwakhe.

Empeleni kuyakhulula ukuvuma ukuthi umuntu uyisigqila; ukuphilisa ukuvuma ukuthi umuntu ulimele.

Kumele sisibone isidingo sokwamukela ubuthakathaka bethu namandla kaNkulunkulu, kanye nokubakhombisa emhlabeni. - UCatherine Doherty, Incwadi Yezisebenzi

KUPHELA inkulumo yanamuhla e Izinsuku Zokukholwa Zothisha ze-Okotoks:

“Njengoba ngihambile kulo lonke elaseCanada, sekucacile ukuthi: okwenza isikole sibe“ yiKhatholika ”akulona igama eliboshelwe eceleni kwesikole; futhi akuyona isitatimende senqubomgomo yenkolo yesifunda sesikole; futhi akuzona izinhlelo zokomoya eziqalwa yibhodi lesikole noma uthishanhloko. Yini eyenza izikole zibe ngamaKhatholika ngempela––umKristu ngempela- Ngumoya kaJesu ohlala kubasebenzi kanye nakubafundi. ”

LAPHO ingabe ikhambi lomdlavuza ??

“Ngikunikile,” kusho iNkosi. “Kodwa umuntu oyitholile bekunguye kukhishwe isisu. "

UKUNGENA ku-cenacle yomhlaba – inxanxathela yezitolo - kusenhliziyweni yami, ukuthi yimaphi amabhuzu esamente kumuntu ojaha ukugijima.

Kwesinye isikhathi, umuntu umpofu kakhulu, ubuthakathaka yikhona kuphela ongakunikeza: “O Jesu, yilokhu engiyikho, ngaphandle kobuthakathaka nobumpofu. Yilokhu kuphela enginakho ukukunika okungokwami ​​ngokweqiniso. Kodwa ngisho nalokhu ngiyakunika. ”

KUNGANI asikwazi yini ukuzinikela ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu? Kungani singenzi ubungcwele kube yinto yethu eyodwa? Kungani sibambelela kulokhu noma kuleyo nto, sazi ukuthi singajabula kakhulu uma siyidedela?

We kumele phendula lokhu. Futhi lapho sikwenza, kufanele sibeke iqiniso phambi Kwakhe, bese silivumela liqale ukusikhulula.
