Kweviki Lesikhombisa LePhasika
Imibhalo yenkolo lapha
DO uphikisana nabanye kuphela ngokuziphatha, noma ngabe nawe wabelana nabo ngothando lwakho ngoJesu nalokho akwenzayo empilweni yakho? AmaKhatholika amaningi namuhla anethezekile kakhulu nabokuqala, kepha hhayi ngabokugcina. Singayenza imibono yethu yobuhlakani yaziwe, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ngamandla, kepha bese siyathula, uma kungenjalo sithule, uma kukhulunywa ngokuvula izinhliziyo zethu. Lokhu kungaba ngenxa yezizathu ezimbili eziyisisekelo: noma singaba namahloni ukwabelana ngokwenziwa nguJesu emiphefumulweni yethu, noma empeleni asinakho esikushoyo ngoba impilo yethu yangaphakathi Naye ayinakiwe futhi ifile, igatsha linqanyuliwe eMvinini… isibani esikhanyayo kukhishwe ku-Socket.
Ngiloluhlobo luni lwe “bulb”? Uyabona, singaba nazo zonke izindlela zokuziphatha nokuxolisa phansi — futhi lokho kufana nengilazi yebhalbhu, nefomu elicacile nelinesiqiniseko. Kepha uma kungekho ukukhanya, ingilazi ihlala ibanda; ayinikezi “imfudumalo.” Kepha lapho isibani sixhunywe kwiSokhethi, ukukhanya kuyakhanya ngokusebenzisa ingilazi futhi ubhekana nobumnyama. Abanye-ke, kumele benze ukhetho: ukwanga nokusondela kuKhanya, noma basuke kukho.
UNkulunkulu uyasukuma; izitha zakhe zihlakazekile, nabamzondayo babaleka phambi kwakhe. Njengokuqhutshwa komusi, baqhutshwa kanjalo; njengokuncibilika kwengcina phambi komlilo. (IHubo langoMsombuluko)
Njengoba siqhubeka nokuhamba noSt. Paul ohambweni lokuya ekufelukholo, siyabona ukuthi uyiglobhu ephelele futhi esebenzayo. Akaliyekeleli iqiniso—ingilazi ihlala iphelele ngokuphelele, engabonakali ngokuvumelana nokuziphatha, ukumbozwa okuyingxenye yalokhu noma leso sambulo saphezulu ngoba kungazithokozisi kakhulu izilaleli zakhe. Kepha uSt.Paul ukhathazeke kakhulu, hhayi kakhulu ngokuthi ama-neophytes enkolo a-orthodox yini - ukuthi "ingilazi" yabo iphelele-kodwa okokuqala ukuthi ngabe umlilo wokukhanya kwaphezulu iyasha ngaphakathi kwabo:
“Ngabe namukeliswa uMoya oNgcwele ngesikhathi senikholwa?” Bamphendula bathi, “Asikaze sizwe nokuthi kukhona uMoya oNgcwele”… Kwathi uPawuli ebeka izandla phezu kwabo, uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo, bakhuluma ngezilimi, baphrofetha. (Ukufundwa kokuqala ngoMsombuluko)
Ngemuva kwaloko, ngemuva kwaloko, Pawula wangena esinagogeni lapho kwaphela tinyanga letintsatfu “aphikisana ngesibindzi netincwadzi letikholwako ngeMbuso waNkulunkulu.” Ngempela, uthi:
Angizange ngigweme nakancane ukukutshela okwakuzuzisa wena, noma ukukufundisa esidlangalaleni noma emakhaya akho. Ngafakaza ngobuqotho… (Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesibili)
USt. Paul wayebambeke kakhulu ukuphuthuma kweVangeli uthe, "Angibheki impilo njengengabalulekile kimi." Kuthiwani ngawe nami? Ngabe impilo yethu — i-akhawunti yethu yokonga, isikhwama sethu somhlalaphansi, i-TV yethu enkulu yesikrini, ukuthenga kwethu okulandelayo… ingabe zibaluleke kakhulu kithi kunokusindisa imiphefumulo engahlukaniswa noNkulunkulu ingunaphakade? Konke okwakubaluleke kuSt Paul kwakuwukufakaza ngeVangeli lomusa kaNkulunkulu. [1]isib. Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesibili
Iqiniso libalulekile. Kepha ngukuphila kukaKristu kithina okusikholisayo; kungubufakazi bokuguqulwa, amandla obufakazi. Eqinisweni, uSt. John ukhuluma ngamaKristu anqoba uSathane “Izwi lobufakazi babo,” [2]isib. IsAm 12:11 okuwukukhanya kothando okukhanyisa kuzo zombili izenzo zethu namazwi ethu akhuluma ngokwenziwe nguJesu, futhi aqhubeke akwenze empilweni yomuntu. Uthe:
… Lokhu kungukuphila okuphakade, ukuthi bakwazi wena, owukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso, nalowo omthumileyo, uJesu Kristu. (IVangeli LangoLwesibili)
Lokho ngukuphila okuphakade. Ukwazi ukuthi ukukhipha isisu noma ezinye izindlela zomshado noma ukubulawa kwesiguli — konke kwamukelwa emazweni amaningi “njengelungelo,” empeleni, akulungile ngokokuziphatha — kubalulekile futhi kuyadingeka. Kepha impilo yaphakade ukwazi UJesu. Hhayi nje mayelana UJesu, kodwa azi futhi enobudlelwano bangempela nge Yena. USt. Paul waxwayisa ngokuthi kuzovela izimpisi Ngaphakathi iSonto [3]Imisebenti 20: 28-38; Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesithathu ongazama ukusonta iqiniso, aphule "ingilazi", ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Ngakho-ke, uJesu wathandazela ukuthi uYise “abangcwelisele eqinisweni,” [4]IVangeli LangoLwesithathu kodwa ngokunembile ukuze abanye bakholwe kuYe “ngezwi labo” ukuze uthando lukaYise nalo “lube kubo nami ngibe kubo.” [5]IVangeli langolwesine Ukuze amakholwa enze njalo khanya!
Lokhu okubalulekile ekushumayeleni kuyaqhubeka kube ukukhala komphefumulo kukaPapa Francis ngalelihora eSontweni: beka uthando lukaJesu kuqala empilweni yakho, intshisekelo yokumenza aziwe! UFrancis ubona ubumnyama obukhula busizungezile, ngakho-ke ubelokhu esibiza ukuthi sivumele ukukhanya kwethu — uthando lwethu ngoJesu — lukhanye phambi kwabanye.
Lunjani uthando lwakho lokuqala? ..lunjani uthando lwakho namuhla, uthando lukaJesu? Kufana nothando lokuqala? Ngabe ngisemathandweni namuhla njengasosukwini lokuqala? … Okokuqala — ngaphambi kokutadisha, ngaphambi kokufuna ukuba yisazi sefilosofi noma imfundiso yenkolo— [umpristi kumele abe] ngumalusi… Konke okunye kuza ngemuva. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Ohlala Ekhaya eCasa Santa Marta, eVatican City, ngoJuni 6, 2014; IZenit.org
Kunjengokungathi uPetru wayemele lonke iSonto, mina nawe, lapho uJesu ebuza umbuzo ovuthayo…
Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda na? (IVangeli LangoLwesihlanu)
Kumele sihlakulele ubuhlobo bangempela noJesu: zihlanganise neSokhethi.
Umuntu, uqobo lwakhe owadalwa “ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu” [ubizelwe] ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu… kI-rayer is abaphilayo ubuhlobo wabantwana bakaNkulunkulu noYise wabo… -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, n. 299, 2565
Asikwazi ukuhlanganyela lokho esingenakho; asikwazi ukufundisa esingakwaziyo; ngeke sikhanye ngaphandle kwamandla Akhe. Eqinisweni, labo abacabanga ukuthi bangakwazi ukugudla ulwandle ngokuzimela kanye nesimo esikhona bazozithola sebengene ebumnyameni obukhulu, ngoba isimo esikhona namuhla cishe sifana umoya womphikukristu. Ungesabi-ke ukukhanya kwakho, ngoba ngukukhanya okusabalalisa ubumnyama; ubumnyama bungakwazi ungalokothi kunqoba ukukhanya… ngaphandle uma ukukhanya kungakhanyi ukuqala.
Emhlabeni uzoba nenkinga, kodwa yiba nesibindi, ngiwunqobile umhlaba. (IVangeli LangoMsombuluko)
Thandana noJesu futhi. Bese usize abanye ukuba bathandane Naye. Ungesabi lokhu. Yilokho izwe elikudinga kakhulu [6]qhathanisa Ukuphuthuma kweVangeli njengoba ukuhwalala kwehlela phezu kwesintu…
Ngobusuku obulandelayo iNkosi yema ngaku [St. Paul] wathi, “Yima isibindi.” (Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesine)
Ukusekelwa kwakho kuyadingeka kule nkonzo yesikhathi esigcwele.
Akubusise, futhi ngiyabonga.
Ukwamukela The Manje iZwi,
chofoza isibhengezo esingezansi ukuze ubhalise.
I-imeyili yakho ngeke yabiwe nanoma ngubani.
