Phakathi kwamabili ... Cishe

 

LAPHO ngithandaza ngaphambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe emasontweni amabili edlule, omunye wozakwethu wayenomfanekiso wewashi emqondweni wakhe. Izandla beziphakathi kwamabili… bese ngokuzumayo, bagxumela emuva imizuzu embalwa, base beya phambili, bese bebuya…

Umkami ngokufanayo unephupho elenzekayo lapho simi khona ensimini, kuyilapho amafu amnyama eqoqana emkhathizwe. Njengoba siqonde kubo, amafu ayahamba.

Akufanele siwathathe kancane amandla wokuncengela, ikakhulukazi lapho sicela isihe sikaNkulunkulu. Futhi akufanele sehluleke ukuqonda izimpawu zezikhathi.

Consider the patience of our Lord as salvation. —2 Petru 3:15

Muva nje wahlangana neqembu labanye abaholi bamaKhatholika nezithunywa zevangeli eNtshonalanga Canada. Ngobusuku bethu bokuqala bokuthandaza ngaphambi kweSakramente Ebusisiwe, umbhangqwana wethu wavele wehlelwa umunyu ojulile wosizi. Amagama afika enhliziyweni yami,

UMoya oNgcwele udabukile ngokungabongi ngamanxeba kaJesu.

Kwathi emva kwesonto noma ngaphezudlwana, omunye engisebenza naye owayengekho nathi wabhala wathi,

Okwezinsuku ezimbalwa ngibe nomqondo wokuthi uMoya oNgcwele ufukamela, njengokufafaza indalo, sengathi sisesikhathini esithile, noma ekuqaleni kwento enkulu, enye indlela eshintsha ngayo indlela iNkosi eyenza ngayo izinto. Njengoba manje sesibona ngengilazi ngokumnyama, kepha kungekudala sizobona ngokucace bha. Cishe isisindo, njengoMoya sinesisindo!

Mhlawumbe lo mqondo wenguquko emkhathizwe yingakho ngiqhubeka nokuzwa enhliziyweni yami amazwi athi, “Ngokushesha! Gcwalisani izibani zenu!” Kuvela endabeni yezintombi eziyishumi eziphume zihlangabeze umkhwenyana (Math 25: 1-13).

UMKHOSI WOKUVAKASHELA

 

Ngesikhathi ekhulelwe uJesu, uMariya wavakashela umzala wakhe u-Elizabethe. Ngemuva kokubingelela kukaMariya, uMbhalo uphinde ubike ukuthi ingane esesiswini sika-Elizabeth- uJohane uMbhapathizi“wagxuma ngenjabulo”.

John ngizwe UJesu.

Singasifunda kanjani lesi siqephu bese sihluleka ukubona impilo nobukhona bomuntu esibelethweni? Kulolu suku, inhliziyo yami iye yasindwa usizi lokukhipha isisu eNyakatho Melika. Futhi amazwi athi, “Uvuna okutshalile” abelokhu edlala engqondweni yami.

Isikhathi Sokuphela

UMNGANI ungibhalele namhlanje, ethi ubhekene nobuze. Eqinisweni, mina nabangane bami abaningi sizwa ukuthula okuthile. Uthe, "Sengathi isikhathi sokulungiselela siyaphela manje. Uyezwa?"

Isithombe size kimi ngesiphepho, nokuthi manje sesiku- iso lesiphepho… "isiphepho sangaphambi kwesikhathi" esiya kuSiphepho Esikhulu esizayo. Eqinisweni, ngizwa sengathi iSonto LikaNkulunkulu LikaZimu (izolo) beliyisizinda samehlo; ngalolo suku lapho ngokungazelelwe isibhakabhaka savuleka savuleka ngenhla kwethu, neLanga LikaMoya lakhanyisa phezu kwethu ngamandla alo onke. Ngalolo suku lapho sasizophuma khona kumfucumfucu wehlazo nesono endiza ngathi, sigijimele ePhepheni Lomusa Nothando lukaNkulunkulu—uma sikhethe ukwenza kanjalo.

Yebo, mngane wami, ngiyazizwa. Umoya wenguquko usuzoshaya futhi, futhi umhlaba awusoze wafana. Kepha akumelwe sikhohlwe: ILanga Lomusa lizofihlwa ngamafu amnyama, kepha lingaze licishwe.

Helix Nebula

 

THE ukubhujiswa, lokho esinye isakhamuzi sendawo esangichaza kimi ngokuthi "ubukhulu bebhayibheli". Ngangivuma nje ngithule ngishaqekile ngemuva kokubona umonakalo weSiphepho uKatrina.

Isibonakaliso Sesivumelwano

Posted on by

 

 

NKULUNKULU amahlamvu, njengesibonakaliso sesivumelwano sakhe noNowa, a U-rainbow esibhakabhakeni.

Kodwa kungani uthingo?

UJesu ungukukhanya kwezwe. Ukukhanya, lapho kuqhekeziwe, kugqama ngemibala eminingi. UNkulunkulu wayesenzile isivumelwano nabantu bakhe, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze, uhlelo lukamoya lwalusaphuliwe—ephukile—Kuze kufike uKristu waqoqela zonke izinto kuye wazenza “munye”. Ungasho ukuthi i- Cross yi-prism, indawo yokuKhanya.

Lapho sibona uthingo, kufanele silubone njenge uphawu lukaKristu, Isivumelwano Esisha: i-arc ethinta izulu, kepha nomhlaba… okufanekisela isimo sikaKristu esinezinto ezimbili, zombili ophezulu futhi womuntu.

In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. -Kwabase-Efesu, 1: 8-10

Echoes of Isexwayiso…

LAPHO kube izikhathi ezimbalwa kuleli sonto eledlule lapho bengishumayela, ukuthi ngivele ngethuka kakhulu. Umqondo enganginawo wawungathi nginguNowa, ememeza esezingeni lomkhumbi: "Ngena! Ngena! Ngena Emuseni KaNkulunkulu!"

Kungani ngizizwa ngale ndlela? Angikwazi ukukuchaza… ngaphandle kokuthi ngibona amafu esiphepho, ekhulelwe futhi evunguza, ehamba ngokushesha emkhathizwe.

Isikhathi - Ingabe Siyashesha?

ISIKHATHI-kuyashesha? Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi kunjalo. Lokhu kufike kimi ngenkathi ngizindla:

I-MP3 yifomethi yengoma lapho umculo ucindezelwa khona, kepha ingoma izwakala ifana futhi iseyinde ubude. Lapho uyicindezela ngokwengeziwe, noma kunjalo, yize ubude buhlala bunjalo, ikhwalithi iqala ukonakala.

Ngokunjalo futhi, kubonakala sengathi isikhathi siyacindezelwa, noma izinsuku zilingana ngokulingana. Futhi lapho becindezelwa ngokwengeziwe, kulapho kuba khona ukonakala kokuziphatha, kwendalo, nokuhleleka komphakathi.

Umkhumbi Omusha

UKUFUNDA kusuka ku-Divine Liturgy kuleli sonto kuhlale nami:

UNkulunkulu walinda ngokubekezela ezinsukwini zikaNowa ngesikhathi kwakhiwa umkhumbi. (1 Petru 3:20)

Umqondo wukuthi sikuleso sikhathi lapho umkhumbi usuphothuliwe, futhi kungekudala. Uyini umkhumbi? Ngenkathi ngibuza lo mbuzo, ngabheka phezulu kusithonjana sikaMariya ……… impendulo yabonakala sengathi isifuba sakhe ngumkhumbi, futhi uqoqela insali kuye, ukuze azitholele uKristu.

Futhi kwakunguJesu owathi uzobuya “njengasezinsukwini zikaNowa” futhi “njengasezinsukwini zikaLoti” (Luka 17:26, 28). Wonke umuntu ubheke isimo sezulu, ukuzamazama komhlaba, izimpi, izinhlupho nodlame; kepha ingabe siyakhohlwa yizimpawu "zokuziphatha" zezikhathi uKristu abhekisele kuzo? Ukufundwa kwesizukulwane sikaNowa nesizukulwane sikaLoti – nokuthi amacala abo kwakungamuphi – kufanele kubukeke kungajwayelekile kahle

Amadoda ayakhubeka ngeqiniso ngezikhathi ezithile, kepha iningi lawo liyazithatha futhi liphuthume ngokungathi akwenzekanga lutho. -Winston Churchill

Kungani Isonto Elilele Lidinga Ukuvuka

MHLAWUMBE Ubusika nje obumnandi, ngakho-ke wonke umuntu ungaphandle esikhundleni sokulandela izindaba. Kepha kube nezihloko ezisematheni ezikhathazayo ezweni ezingakaze zishaye uphaphe. Futhi nokho, banamandla okuthonya lesi sizwe ezizukulwaneni ezizayo:

  • Kuleli sonto, ochwepheshe baxwayisa nge "ubhadane olufihliwe" njengoba izifo zocansi eCanada ziqhume eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. Lokhu ngenkathi iNkantolo Ephakeme YaseCanada wabusa ukuthi imibuthano yomphakathi emaqenjini ezocansi ayamukeleka emphakathini waseCanada "obekezelayo".

THE ukungabekezelelani "wokubekezelelana!"

 

Kuyafuna ukwazi ukuthi labo abasola amaKrestu kanjani
inzondo nokungabekezelelani

ithoni nenhloso. 

Kubonakala okusobala kakhulu — futhi okubheka kalula kalula
ubuzenzisi bezikhathi zethu.
