WE ungaboni ngoba sinamehlo. Siyabona ngoba kukhona ukukhanya. Lapho kungekho ukukhanya, amehlo akaboni lutho, noma evulekile ngokuphelele.
Amehlo omhlaba avuleke ngokuphelele namuhla, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Sibhoboza izimfihlakalo zendawo yonke, imfihlo ye-athomu, nokhiye bendalo. Ulwazi oluqoqayo lomlando wesintu lungafinyelelwa ngokuchofoza nje kwegundane, noma umhlaba obonakalayo owakhiwe ngokuphazima kweso.
Futhi nokho, asikaze sibe yizimpumputhe kangako. Umuntu wanamuhla akasaziqondi ukuthi kungani ephila, kungani ekhona, nokuthi uyaphi. Efundiswe ukukholelwa ukuthi akayena nje inhlayiya eguquke ngokungahleliwe nomkhiqizo wenhlanhla, okuwukuphela kwethemba lakhe okulele kulokho akutholayo, ikakhulukazi, ngesayensi nobuchwepheshe. Noma ngabe iyiphi ithuluzi angaliqamba ukususa ubuhlungu, ukunweba impilo, futhi manje, akuqede, kuyinjongo enkulu leyo. Akunasizathu sokuba khona ngaphandle kokukhohlisa umzuzu wamanje kunoma yini ekhulisa imizwa yokwaneliseka noma injabulo.
Kuthathe isintu cishe iminyaka engama-400 ukufika kulelihora, eliqale ngekhulu le-16 nge 
ukuzalwa kwenkathi "Yokukhanyiselwa". Eqinisweni, kwakuyisikhathi "Sokumnyama". KuNkulunkulu, ukholo, nenkolo kwakuzokwehliswa kancane kancane yithemba elingamanga lokuhlengwa ngesayensi, ukucabanga, kanye nezinto ezibonakalayo.
Ekufuneni izimpande ezijulile zomzabalazo phakathi "kwesiko lempilo" kanye "nesiko lokufa"… Kufanele siye enhliziyweni yenhlekelele eyehlela umuntu wanamuhla: ukusitheka komqondo kaNkulunkulu nowomuntu… [lokho] ngokungenakugwenywa kuholela ekuthandeni izinto ezibonakalayo, okubangela ukuzimela, ukusebenzisa amandla kanye ne-hedonism. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Evangelium Vitae, n. 21, 23
Kepha singaphezulu kakhulu kwama-molecule.
Isayensi ingasiza kakhulu ekwenzeni umhlaba nesintu sibe ngabantu. Noma kunjalo futhi ingabhubhisa isintu nomhlaba ngaphandle kokuthi kuqondiswe amandla alala ngaphandle kwawo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Incwadi Encyclical, Isikhulumi uSalvi,n. 25
“Amandla atholakala ngaphandle kwawo”, ngeqiniso elilodwa, iqiniso lesithunzi sethu semvelo — ukuthi wonke owesilisa, owesifazane, nengane badalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, yize bewile ngokwemvelo. Amanye amandla afaka umthetho wemvelo lapho kuvela khona izimiso zokuziphatha, futhi zona ngokwazo, zikhomba eMthonjeni omkhulu ongaphezu kwethu — okunguJesu Kristu, owathatha inyama yethu waba ngumuntu, waziveza njengomuntu onamandla okwehla kobuntu bethu nokwephuka .
Ukukhanya kweqiniso, okukhanyisela wonke umuntu, kwakuza emhlabeni. (Johane 1: 9)
Yilokhu kukhanya umuntu akudinga kakhulu… futhi uSathane, osebenza ngesineke phakathi namakhulu eminyaka, osekucishe kwamnyama ngokuphelele ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba. Lokhu ukwenze ngokugqugquzela "inkolo entsha nengabonakali", kusho uPapa Benedict[1] Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-52 - izwe lapho “uNkulunkulu nezindinganiso zokuziphatha, umehluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi, zihlala ebumnyameni. "[2]I-Easter Vigil Homily, ngo-Ephreli 7, 2012
UKUJABULA KONKE
Futhi-ke, isimo somuntu yilapho sazi khona ukuthi ngokuqinisekile asijabule ezingeni elithile (noma ngabe siyakuvuma noma cha), noma ngabe sithenga konke ukunethezeka ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo, umuthi, nokukhululeka esingakwazi ukukukhokhela. Okuthile enhliziyweni kuhlala kuhlushwa 
futhi akuqinisekile. Kukhona ukulangazelela komhlaba wonke ukukhululeka — ukukhululeka emizweni yecala, yokudabuka, yokudana, yokuhlukunyezwa, kanye neyokungazethembi esizwayo. Yebo, njengoba nje nabapristi abakhulu bale nkolo entsha engaqondakali besitshela ukuthi imizwa enjalo imane nje iyisimo senhlalo noma ukungabekezelelani ngokwenkolo; nokuthi labo abaphakamisa imibono yokuthi “kulungile” nokuthi “akulungile” bazama nje ukusilawula; nokuthi sikhululekile ukunquma ukuthi yiqiniso yini uqobo lwethu… sazi kangcono. Zonke izingubo, ukuntuleka kwezingubo, amawigi, izimonyo, ama-tattoo, izidakamizwa, i-porn, utshwala, ingcebo nodumo akukwazi ukukushintsha lokho.
… Inkolo engaqondakali, nembi yenziwa yaba yisilinganiso sobushiqela okumele wonke umuntu asilandele. Lokho-ke kubonakala kuyinkululeko — ngesizathu sokuthi kukhululeka esimweni esedlule. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-52

UKUZIZIZA
Kepha njengombani kulobumnyama bamanje, uSt.Paul uthi ekufundweni kokuqala kweMisa kwanamuhla (bheka imibhalo yenkolo lapha):
Kubhekeni njengenjabulo kuphela, bafowethu nodadewethu, lapho nihlangabezana nezilingo ezahlukahlukene, ngoba niyazi ukuthi ukuvivinywa kokholo lwenu kuveza ukubekezela. Futhi vumela ukukhuthazela kube okuphelele, ukuze nibe ngabaphelele futhi abaphelele, ningasweli lutho. (Jakobe 1: 1)
Lokhu kuphikisana nakho konke umhlaba okufunayo namuhla, okungukuthi induduzo nokuqedwa kwakho konke ukuhlupheka. Kepha ngemisho emibili, uPaul uveze isihluthulelo sokuphelela: ukuzazi.
Izilingo zethu, kusho uPaul, kufanele zithathwe “njengenjabulo yonke” ngoba ziveza iqiniso ngathi: iqiniso lokuthi ngibuthakathaka, ngithukuthele futhi nginesono, yize ngifaka imaskhi nomfanekiso wamanga engiwenzayo. Izilingo ziveza ukulinganiselwa kwami futhi ziveze ukuzithanda kwami. Kukhona, empeleni, injabulo ekhululayo ukuzibuka esibukweni noma emehlweni omunye bese uthi, “Kuyiqiniso, ngiwe. Angiyena owesilisa (noma owesifazane) obekufanele ngibe yikho. ” Iqiniso lizokukhulula, futhi iqiniso lokuqala ukuthi ngingubani, nokuthi angiyena ubani.
Kepha lokhu kumane nje kuyisiqalo. Ukuzazi kuveza kuphela ukuthi ngingubani, hhayi ukuthi ngingaba ngubani. Labo ababizwa ngokuthi abaphathi beNkathi Entsha, izazi zokuzisiza, nabaqondisi abangokomoya baye bazama ukuxazulula lo mbuzo wokugcina ngezimpendulo eziningi ezingamanga:
Ngoba isikhathi siyeza lapho abantu bengayikuyibekezelela imfundiso ephilayo, kepha bezwa izindlebe zabo, baziqongelele abafundisi ukuba bahambisane nentando yabo, bafulathele ukulalela iqiniso, baphambukele ezinganekwaneni. (2 Thim 4: 3-4)
Ukhiye wokuzazi ulusizo kuphela uma ufakwa eMnyango Ongcwele, onguJesu Kristu. Unguye 
Munye kuphela ongakuholela enkululekweni odalelwe yona. “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso nokuphila,” Uthe:[4]John 14: 6
Mina ngiyindlela, okungukuthi, indlela yothando. Wenzelwe ubudlelwano noNkulunkulu wakho futhi nomunye.
Ngiyiqiniso, okungukuthi, ukukhanya okuveza imvelo yakho enesono nokuthi wenzelwe ukuba ngubani.
Ngingukuphila, okungukuthi, Lowo ongelapha lesi sidlo esiphukile futhi abuyisele lesi sithombe esilimele.
Ngakho-ke, lithi iHubo lanamuhla:
Kungilungele ukuba ngihlushwe, ukuze ngifunde izimiso zakho. (119: 71)
Noma nini lapho kufika ukulingwa, isilingo, noma ukuhlupheka, kuvunyelwe ukukufundisa ukuzinikela kuYise ngoJesu Kristu. Yamukela lemikhawulo, ubangenise ekukhanyeni (eSakramentini Lokuvuma izono), futhi ngokuzithoba, cela ukuthethelelwa kulabo obalimazile. UJesu akazanga ukuzokumbambatha emhlane futhi akhuthaze ukungasebenzi kahle kwakho, kepha ukuzoveza isimo sakho seqiniso namandla akho weqiniso. Ukuhlupheka kwenza lokhu… isiphambano ukuphela kwendlela eya ekuvusweni komuntu uqobo lwakho.
Ngakho-ke, ngokuzayo lapho uzwa ukuthotshiswa okuvuthayo kobuthakathaka bakho kanye nesidingo sakho ngoNkulunkulu, kubheke njengenjabulo yonke. Kusho ukuthi uyathandwa. Kusho ukuthi uyabona.
“Ndodana yami, ungadeleli ukulaya kweNkosi, ungapheli amandla lapho usolwa yiyo; ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya lowo amthandayo; ushaya yonke indodana ayihloniphayo ”… Ngaleso sikhathi, sonke isiyalo sibukeka njengesizathu senjabulo kepha singesobuhlungu, kepha kamuva siletha isithelo sokuthula sokulunga kulabo abaqeqeshwe yiso. (Heb 12: 5-11)
Iqiniso ukuthi kwimfihlakalo yeZwi elisesimweni somuntu kuphela lapho imfihlakalo yomuntu ithola khona ukukhanya… UKristu… wembula ngokuphelele umuntu kumuntu futhi ukhanyisela ubizo lwakhe oluphakeme kakhulu… Ngokuhlupheka ngenxa yethu, akasinikanga isibonelo kuphela ukuze silandele ezinyathelweni zaKhe, kepha futhi wavula indlela. Uma silandela le ndlela, impilo nokufa kwenziwa kungcwele futhi kuthola incazelo entsha. —UMKHANDLU WASEVONDO WASEVONDI, IGaudium et spes, hhayi. 22
Esiphambanweni kulele ukunqoba koLuthando… Kuyo, ekugcineni, kulele iqiniso eliphelele ngomuntu, isiqu sangempela somuntu, usizi lwakhe nobukhulu bakhe, ukubaluleka kwakhe nenani alikhokhelwa. —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (ST. JOHN PAUL II) kusuka Isibonakaliso Sokuphikisana, 1979
