IS kungenzeka ukuthi, le Advent, sikulungiselela ngempela ukuza kukaJesu? Uma silalela okushiwo opapa (Oopapa, kanye ne-Dawning Era), kulokho okushiwo nguMama wethu (Ingabe UJesu Uyeza Ngempela?), kulokho okushiwo oFata BeSonto (Ukufika Okuphakathi), bese uhlanganisa zonke izingcezu (Baba Ongcwele Othandekayo… Uyeza!), impendulo ithi "yebo!" Hhayi ukuthi uJesu uyeza kulo Disemba 25. Futhi futhi Akaze eze ngendlela ama-movie evangeli abelokhu ephakamisa ngayo, andulelwa ukuhlwithwa, njll. Ukuza kukaKristu Ngaphakathi izinhliziyo zabathembekile ukugcwalisa zonke izithembiso zemibhalo esizifunda kule nyanga encwadini ka-Isaya.
Ngoba izimfihlakalo zikaJesu azikenziwa ngokuphelele futhi zigcwaliseke. Aphelele, empeleni, asesimweni sikaJesu, kodwa hhayi kithi, angamalungu akhe, noma eSontweni, okuwumzimba wakhe ongaqondakali. —St. UJohn Elies, qaphela "EMbusweni KaJesu", Imfundo yamahora, IVol IV, ikhasi 559
Futhi kuyinhloso kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ngempela azigcwalise. Njengoba uSt. Paul abhala, uBaba uzoqhubeka ethulula uMoya wakhe nezipho…
… Size sonke sifinyelele ebunyeni bokholo kanye nolwazi lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ebudodeni obuvuthiwe, kuze kube sesilinganisweni esigcwele sikaKristu. (Efe 4:13)
Futhi lokhu, ukuze abantu bakaNkulunkulu...
… abe ngcwele futhi angabi nasici phambi kwakhe… ukuze athule phambi kwakhe ibandla lisebukhazikhazini, lingenabala noma umbimbi nanoma yini enjalo, ukuze libe ngcwele futhi lingabi nasici. ( Efe 1:4, 5:27 )
Lokhu okuthiwa “ukuza okuphakathi” iNkosazana Yethu “owesifazane owembethe ilanga” ebilokhu ivela futhi isilungiselela, kuyisigaba sokugcina emlandweni wesintu lapho uNkulunkulu—hhayi uSathane—ethola izwi lokugcina. [1]qhathanisa Ukulwelwa Kokuhlakanipha Lapho, njengoba uIsaya aprofetha, “Umhlaba uyakugcwala ukumazi uJehova” [2]isib. Isaya 11: 7 futhi ...
… Leli vangeli lombuso lizoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke njengobufakazi ezizweni zonke, khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. (Math. 24:14)
Louis de Montfort wake wathandaza:
Imiyalo yakho yaphezulu yephuliwe, iVangeli lakho liyaphonswa eceleni, isifufula sobubi sigcwala umhlaba wonke sithwala ngisho nezinceku zakho… Ngabe konke kuzophela ngokufana neSodoma neGomora? Awusoze waphula ukuthula kwakho? Uyakubekezelela konke lokhu kuze kube phakade? Akulona yini iqiniso ukuthi intando yakho kumele yenziwe emhlabeni njengoba yenziwa ezulwini? Akulona yini iqiniso ukuthi umbuso wakho kumele ufike? Awuzange unikeze eminye imiphefumulo, bathandekayo kuwe, umbono wokuvuselelwa kweSonto esizayo? —Umthandazo Wezithunywa Zevangeli, n. 5; www.ewtn.com
Imiphefumulo efana noSt. Bernard waseClairvaux:
Siyazi ukuthi kuthathu ukuza kukaJehova… Ekufikeni kokugcina, yonke inyama iyobona insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu, futhi bayobheka lowo abamhlaba. Ukuza okuphakathi kuyimfihlo; kuyo ngabakhethiweyo kuphela ababona iNkosi phakathi kwabo, futhi bayasindiswa... Ekuzeni kwayo kokuqala iNkosi yethu yeza yinyama yethu nobuthakathaka bethu; kulokhu kungena okuphakathi uza ngomoya nangamandla; ekufikeni kokugcina uzobonakala enkazimulweni nasebukhosini…—USt. UBernard, Imfundo yamahora, Vol I, k. 169
Futhi St. Cyril waseJerusalema:
Kukhona ukuzalwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu ngaphambi kweminyaka, nokuzalwa kwentombi ekupheleleni kwesikhathi. Kukhona ukuza okufihliwe, okufana nemvula eboyeni, futhi kuza phambi kwamehlo onke, kusesesikhathini esizayo [lapho] eyobuya futhi ngenkazimulo ezokwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo. —Umyalo Wekhathekhekha kaSt. Cyril waseJerusalema, Isifundo 15; ukuhumusha kusuka Ubukhazikhazi bendalo, UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, k. 59

…noMhlonishwa uMaria Concepción:
Isikhathi sesifikile sokuphakamisa uMoya oNgcwele emhlabeni… Ngifisa ukuthi lo msebenzi wokugcina anikezelwe ngendlela ekhethekile kuloMoya oNgcwele… Kusekusikhathi sakhe, kuyithuba lakhe, kuwukunqoba kothando eBandleni Lami. , endaweni yonke. —UJesu KuMhlonishwa UMaría Concepción Cabrera de Armida; UFr. UMarie-Michel Philipon, uConchita: Idayari Yomama Engokomoya, k. 195-196
Futhi uma kwenzeka silingeka ukuba sichithe lamazwi esiprofetho sithi, “O, lokho kumane nje kuyisambulo sangasese,” singaqiniseka ukuthi lokhu kuye kwafundiswa opapa.
Umsebenzi kaPapa John othobekile “ukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abaphelele,” ofana ncamashi nomsebenzi wombhabhadisi, ongumlandeli wakhe nokuthi uthatha igama lakhe kuye. Futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ucabange ukuphelela okuphakeme futhi okuyigugu kunalokho lokunqoba kokuthula kobuKristu, okuwukuthula enhliziyweni, ukuthula ngokuhleleka kwezenhlalo, empilweni, impilo kahle, ukuhloniphana nobuzwe bezizwe . —I-ST.

Kungalezi zithembiso eziyisiprofetho, bafowethu nodadewethu, lapho iNkosazana yethu ifisa ukuniduduza futhi.
Duduzani, duduzani abantu bami, usho uNkulunkulu wenu. Khulumani kahle neJerusalema, nimemezele kulo ukuthi inkonzo yalo isiphelile… (Isifundo sokuqala sanamuhla)
Kodwa uma lokhu kufika kweLanga Eliphakeme kuwukubonakaliswa kwangaphakathi kwempilo, amandla, nobungcwele bukaNkulunkulu,[3]qhathanisa Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu khona-ke kusobala ukuthi kufanele Lungiselela ukuMemukela. Njengoba abaningi baphuthelwa ukufika kokuqala kukaKristu, kanjalo, abaningi bazophuthelwa yilokhu “kuza phakathi”.
Izwi liyamemeza, lithi: Lungisani ogwadule indlela yeNkosi! (Ukufundwa kokuqala kwanamuhla)
U-Isaya uthi kudingeka ‘siqondise ehlane umgwaqo omkhulu kaNkulunkulu wethu! Okungukuthi, ukuze ukususa lezo zithiyo zesono lokho kuvimbela umusa waKhe. Kudingeka “sigcwalise izigodi”, okungukuthi, lezo zindawo ezisezinhliziyweni zethu lapho sikhona entula uthando, ikakhulukazi kulabo abasiphatha kabi. Futhi kudingeka senze “zonke izintaba zibe phansi”, okungukuthi, lawo magquma ukuziqhenya nokuzethemba okungashiyi indawo yobukhona bukaNkulunkulu.

Kunalokho, lokhu ukufika okuzonqoba izizwe, kuhlanze umhlaba, futhi kumise uMbuso Wentando Yakhe yobuNkulunkulu. “Emhlabeni njengasezulwini” njengase “Phentekoste elisha.”
Ah, ndodakazi yami, isidalwa sihlala sigijima kakhulu ebubini. Mangaki amaqhinga encithakalo abawalungiselelayo! Bayoze bazikhathaze ngobubi. Kodwa ngenkathi bematasa behamba ngendlela yabo, Ngizozikhathaza ngokupheleliswa kanye nokugcwaliseka kwe-My Fiat Voluntas Tua (“Intando Yakho mayenziwe”) ukuze Intando Yami abuse emhlabeni—kodwa ngendlela entsha.

Kanjalo nezigodi, amagquma nezintaba zombuso kaSathane kumele zenziwe ize. Ngakho-ke, ngizoqhubeka nokuzindla ngaleso “silo” esizimisele ukubukela phansi umbuso kaKristu ukuze izinhliziyo zethu zilungele futhi izingqondo zethu zilungele “ukuqala ukulwa” kwalenkathi...
Kodwa nalobu busuku emhlabeni bukhombisa izimpawu ezicacile zokusa okuzayo, zosuku olusha oluthola ukwanga kwelanga elisha nelicwebezelayo…
ukuvuka kukaJesu kuyadingeka: uvuko lwangempela, olungabuvumi ubukhosi bokufa… Kumuntu ngamunye, uKristu kufanele abhubhise ubusuku besono esifayo ngokuntwela komusa okubuyisiwe. Emindenini, ubusuku bokunganaki nokuphola kufanele budedele ilanga lothando. Emafekthri, emadolobheni, ezizweni, emazweni okungezwani nenzondo ubusuku kufanele bukhanye njengemini… futhi ukuxabana kuzophela futhi kube nokuthula. Woza Nkosi Jesu… Thumela ingelosi yakho, O Nkosi futhi wenze ubusuku bethu bukhanye bukhanye njengelanga… Mingaki imiphefumulo elangazelela ukushesha kosuku ozohlala ngalo wedwa futhi ubuse ezinhliziyweni zalo!
