Ukungena Ngehora Lokukhombisa

 

LAPHO kuningi okusenhliziyweni yami ukubhala nokukhuluma ngakho ezinsukwini ezizayo ezibucayi futhi ezibalulekile ohlelweni olukhulu lwezinto. Okwamanje, uPapa Benedict uyaqhubeka nokukhuluma kahle nangokungagunci ngekusasa izwe elibhekene nalo. Akumangazi ukuthi unanela izixwayiso zeNcasakazi uMariya Obusisiwe, oyisibonelo sakhe futhi mirror weBandla. Okusho ukuthi, kufanele kube khona ukungaguquguquki phakathi kwakhe Nesiko Elingcwele, phakathi kwezwi eliyisiprofetho lomzimba kaKristu nemibukiso yakhe eyiqiniso. Umlayezo ophakathi futhi ovumelanisiwe ungomunye wazo zombili izexwayiso nethemba: isixwayiso ukuthi umhlaba usesicongweni senhlekelele ngenxa yenkambo yawo yamanje; futhi ngethemba ukuthi, uma sibuyela kuNkulunkulu, Angaziphilisa izizwe zethu. Ngifuna ukubhala kabanzi ngomndeni kaPapa Benedict onamandla anikezwe le Vigil yePasika edlule. Kepha okwamanje, asinakububukela phansi ubunzima besixwayiso sakhe:

Ubumnyama obuyisongo sangempela esintwini, phela iqiniso lokuthi angabona futhi aphenye izinto ezibonakalayo, kepha angaboni lapho umhlaba uya khona noma lapho uvela khona, lapho impilo yethu uqobo iya khona, okuhle futhi yini okubi. Ubumnyama obumboze uNkulunkulu nezindinganiso zokufihla buyingozi yangempela kithi ukhona nasemhlabeni jikelele. Uma uNkulunkulu nezindinganiso zokuziphatha, umehluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi, ehlala ebumnyameni, khona-ke zonke ezinye “izibani”, ezibeka imisebenzi yobuchwepheshe engakholeki, aziyona inqubekela phambili kuphela kepha futhi ziyingozi ezisibeka futhi umhlaba usengcupheni. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, I-Easter Vigil Homily, Ephreli 7th, 2012 (eyami yokugcizelela)

Futhi-ke, izwe selifikile Ihora Lolahleko: isikhathi sethemba nesixwayiso…

 

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoMashi 15, 2011:

KUPHELA ngemuva kokuthi ephuke ngokuphelele eshaye lonke ifa lakhe, indodana yolahleko yayingasabuyi ekhaya. Ngisho nangemva kokuba indlala ihlasele izwe, wayengabuyi ekhaya. Ngisho nangemva kokuba yena — umfana ongumJuda — engathola umsebenzi wokudla izingulube, wayengabuyi ekhaya. Kwaze kwaba yilapho eseguqe ngamadolo esikhunjeni sezingulube lapho indodana yolahleko ekugcineni yathola “ukukhanyisa unembeza”(Cf uLuka 15: 11-32). Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela, lapho ephuke ngokuphelele, lapho ekugcineni akwazi ukubuka ngaphakathi… bese ukubuyela ekhaya futhi.

Futhi yile ndawo yobumpofu eholela ekuzazini lapho umhlaba kufanele manje uye khona ngaphambi kokuthi nawo uthole “ukukhanya” kwawo…

 

KUMELE UBUWE UBUSUKU

Namuhla ekuseni ngithandaza, ngizwe uBaba ethi:

Ndodana yami, hlala umphefumulo wakho ezenzakalweni ezimelwe ukwenzeka. Ungesabi, ngoba ukwesaba kuyisibonakaliso sokholo olubuthakathaka nothando olungcolile. Kunalokho, thembela ngenhliziyo yonke kukho konke engizokufeza ebusweni bomhlaba. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela, “ekugcwaleni kobusuku,” lapho abantu Bami bezokwazi khona ukubona ukukhanya… —Diary, Mashi 15, 2011; (cf. 1 Johane 4:18)

Akukhona ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna sihlupheke. Akazange asidalele ukuhlupheka. Ngesono, isintu silethe ukuhlupheka nokufa emhlabeni… kepha ngeSiphambano sikaJesu, ukuhlupheka manje kungasetshenziswa njengethuluzi lokuhlanzwa nokulungiswa ukuletha okuhle okukhulu: Insindiso. Lapho isihe sehluleka ukukholisa, ubulungiswa buzo.

Izinyembezi zigeleza kalula lapho umuntu eqala ukucabanga ngokuhlupheka okwenzeka eJapan, eNew Zealand, eChile, eHaiti, eChina, njll. Lapho kuzamazame ukuzamazama komhlaba okubi khona. Kepha-ke, njengoba ngikhonza imiphefumulo emhlabeni wonke ekuhambeni kwami ​​nasezincwadini zami, kukhona okunye ukuhlupheka okwenzeka cishe kuzo zonke izifunda, kepha ikakhulukazi emasikweni aseNtshonalanga. Kuyizinhlungu ezivela ku okungokomoya ukuzamazama komhlaba okwaqala ngamafilosofi aphambukayo enkathi yokukhanyiselwa — okwagcina kunyakazisa ukholo ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu — futhi osukhukhule njenge i-tsunami yokuziphatha ngezikhathi zethu. 

Inyoka, nokho, ikhiphe isifufula samanzi emlonyeni wayo ngemuva kokuthi lo wesifazane amkhukhulise ngalo msinga. (IsAm 12:15)

Lokho kuqala tsunami manje selihlehla, kushiya ukubulawa kwabantu “isiko lokufa, ”Lapho ngisho nokubaluleka kokuphila komuntu manje sekuxoxwa ngakho ngokusobala, kuhlaselwa ngokusobala, kubulawa obala — bese kuthi izenzo ezinjalo zivele obala kugubha “njengelungelo” ngamadodana nendodakazi yolahleko abayizithulu nabangaboni bezikhathi zethu.

Manje, Ihora Lolahleko ufikile. Ngoba akunakwenzeka ngesintu esiziphendulele ngokwaso ukuthi sisinde. Ngakho-ke, imvelo, izinsiza, inkululeko nokuthula kwezizwe kusengozini. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uBaba oNgcwele acace kakhudlwana encwadini yakhe yakamuva ye-encyclical?

… Akumele sizibukele phansi izimo eziphazamisayo ezisongela ikusasa lethu, noma izinsimbi ezintsha ezinamandla “isiko lokufa” elinazo. Esihlahlakalweni esidabukisayo nesisabalele sokukhipha isisu kungadingeka ukuthi sengeze ngokuzayo - impela sesivele sikhona ngokufanele - uhlelo lwe-eugenic oluhlelekile lokuzalwa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwe-spectrum, i-pro-euthanasia mindset iyangena njenge- isiqiniseko esilimazayo ngokulinganayo sokulawula impilo esingaphansi kwezimo ezithile sithathwa njengesingasafanele ukuphila. Okungaphansi kwalezi zimo imibono yezamasiko ephika isithunzi somuntu. Le mikhuba ibuye ikhuthaze ukuqonda kokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo nokwenza imishini ngempilo yomuntu. Ngubani ongalinganisa imiphumela emibi yalolu hlobo lomqondo entuthukweni? Singamangala kanjani ukungabi nandaba okuboniswa ezimweni zokwehliswa kwesintu, lapho ukunganaki okunjalo kufinyelela nasesimweni sethu sengqondo ngokuqondene nalokho okungasikho okwabantu? Okumangazayo wukuzimisela okungenangqondo nokukhetha kokufanele ukubeke namuhla njengokufanele ukuhlonishwa. Izinto ezingabalulekile zibhekwa njengezishaqisayo, nokho ukungabi nabulungisa okungakaze kube khona kubonakala kubekezelelwa kabanzi. Ngenkathi abampofu bomhlaba beqhubeka nokungqongqoza eminyango yabacebile, izwe labacebile lisengozini yokungabe besezwa labo bangqongqozayo, ngenxa kanembeza ongasakwazi ukuhlukanisa okungabantu. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, ICaritas in Veritate "Charity in Truth",n. 75

Ukunyakaziswa kwemvelo, umuntu angasho, kungumphumela wokushintshwa nokwehlukaniswa phakathi kwamacwecwe ama-tectonic angokomoya nawokuziphatha; okwendalo nokuziphatha kuhlanganiswe komunye nomunye: ^[1]I-Rom 8: 18-22

Ukonakala kwemvelo empeleni kuxhumene kakhulu nesiko elibumba ukuhlala kwabantu: lapho kuhlonishwa "imvelo yabantu" emphakathini, imvelo yemvelo nayo iyazuza. Njengoba nje izimfanelo zabantu zihlobene, njengokuthi ukuba buthakathaka kwendawo eyodwa kubeka abanye engcupheni, ngakho-ke uhlelo lwezemvelo lusekelwe ekuhlonipheni uhlelo oluthinta impilo yomphakathi kanye nobudlelwano balo obuhle nemvelo… Uma kukhona ukungabi nenhlonipho welungelo lokuphila nokufa ngokwemvelo, uma ukukhulelwa komuntu, ukukhulelwa nokuzalwa kwenziwa okwenziwe, uma imibungu yabantu kunikelwa ngayo ocwaningweni, unembeza womphakathi ugcina ulahlekelwe ngumqondo wemvelo yabantu, kanye nawo lowo Imvelo yezemvelo… Nakhu kunokuphikisana okukhulu emqondweni nasekwenzeni kwethu namuhla: lokho kululaza umuntu, kuphazamisa imvelo futhi kulimaze umphakathi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, e-Ibid. n. 51

 

KUDINGEKA “UKUKHANYA”

Kepha kuzothathani ukuthi isintu 'sivuke' ohlangothini oluyingozi esiya kulo? Ngokusobala, okuningi kakhulu kunalokho esikubonile. Sishaye “ifa” lethu — okungukuthi, sichithe okwethu inkululeko yokuzikhethela ekwakheni izwe elingenaye uNkulunkulu okuholele emibusweni yeningi engenabulungiswa, iminotho engenakho ukulinganisela, ukuzijabulisa ngaphandle kokuzibamba, nezinjabulo ezingenasilinganiso. Kepha noma sihleli ngokuwohloka kokuziphatha (kanye nokubhujiswa okubanzi kwemishado nemindeni ubufakazi balokhu), bekungenele ukulungisa onembeza besintu. Cha… kubonakala kufanele futhi kufike “indlala" bese ukuhlubula okukhulu futhi ukwephuka kokuziqhenya ^[2]bheka Tyena New Tower of Babel lokho kuzenze zamelana noNkulunkulu uBaba wethu. Kuze kube yilapho izizwe seziguqe ngamadolo endaweni yezingulube yokuzibhubhisa okwenziwe ngokwakho, kubonakala sengathi, zizokwazi ukuthola ukukhanyisa unembeza. Futhi yingakho, i- Izimpawu Eziyisikhombisa weSambulo kumele sephulwe ngokuqinisekile ukuze ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu obunobubele — okungukuthi, busivumele sivune esikutshalile ^[3]IGal 6: 7-8-Ukuletha ngokwazi ukuthi sehle kangakanani ebangeni lomusa.

Ngakho-ke, ubusuku kufanele bufike; ubumnyama balobu buhedeni obusha kufanele buqhubeke. Futhi-ke, kungaleso sikhathi kuphela, kubonakala sengathi, umuntu wesimanje uzokwazi ukuhlukanisa “ukukhanya kwezwe” “nenkosana yobumnyama.”

 

UKUHLANGANISA UMPHEFUMULO… NGOMUSA

Ekugcineni, lona ngumyalezo wethemba: ukuthi uNkulunkulu ngeke avumele isintu ukuba sizibhubhise ngokuphelele. Uzongenelela ngendlela enobukhosi nenhle kakhulu. Okuzayo Ukukhanya Konembeza, mhlawumbe okubizwa nge- “Uphawu lwesiThupha” lweSambulo, kuzoba yithuba lokuthi amadodana namadodakazi alahlekile abuyele ekhaya. Esikhundleni sokuhla emhlabeni ethukuthele, uBaba uzogijimela kunoma ngubani ozoqala uhambo oluya ekhaya, futhi abemukele, noma ngabe basoni kangakanani noma balahlekelwe kanjani yisoni. ^[4]qhathanisa Isambulo SikaBaba Esizayo

Kwathi esekude, uyise wambona, waba nesihe, wagijima, wamgona, wamanga. (Luka 15:20)

Ngumuphi umuntu phakathi kwenu onezimvu eziyikhulu, alahlekelwe enye kuzo ongashiyi ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye ehlane, alandele leyo elahlekileyo, aze ayithole? (Luka 15: 4)

Ungoni umhlaba noma ulwandle noma izihlahla size sibeke uphawu emabunzini ezinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu. (IsAm 7: 3)

Nomaphi lapho ngikhonza khona, ngihlala ngihlangana nabazali abanezingane ezishiye iSonto. Baphuke izinhliziyo futhi besaba ukuthi izingane zabo zizolahleka ingunaphakade. Lokhu, ngiqinisekile, kunjalo kwabaningi benu abafunda lokhu manje. Kodwa lalelisisa…

Lapho uJehova ebona ukuthi bukhulu kangakanani ububi bomuntu emhlabeni, nokuthi akukho sifiso sokuthi inhliziyo yakhe ikhulelwe kwakungakaze kube kubi, wazisola ngokuthi wayemenzile umuntu emhlabeni, futhi inhliziyo yakhe yaba lusizi. Ngalokho uJehova wathi: “Ngiyakubasula emhlabeni abantu engibadalileyo… ngiyaxolisa ngokuthi ngibenzile.” Kepha uNowa wathola umusa kuJehova. (UGenesise 6: 5-8)

UNowa wayewukuphela komphefumulo olungileyo uNkulunkulu ayengawuthola — kodwa wamsindisa uNowa nomndeni wakhe. ^[5]bona futhi Ukubuyiselwa Okuzayo Komndeni

Ngena emkhunjini, wena nayo yonke indlu yakho, ngoba nguwe wedwa kulesi sikhathi engikuthole kulunge ngempela. (UGenesise 7: 1)

Ngakho-ke, labo abanezingane, abafowenu, abalingani, njll. Bawile okholweni: yibani njengoNowa. Yiba ngulowo olungile, ophila ngokuthembeka eZwini likaNkulunkulu futhi ubathandazele futhi ubathandazela, futhi ngikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzobanika ithuba kanye nomusa ukuba — njengendodana yolahleko — babuye ekhaya, ^[6]bheka Ukubuyiselwa Okuzayo Komndeni ngaphambi kwengxenye yokugcina ye- Isivunguvungu Esikhulu udlula ubuntu: ^[7]bheka Ihora Lolahleko

Ngizosuka ngiye kubaba ngithi kuye, “Baba, ngonile kulo izulu futhi angisafanele ukubizwa ngokuthi ngiyindodana yakho; ngiphathe njengoba ubungaphatha omunye wabaqashwa bakho. (Luka 15: 18-19)

Kodwa leli Hora Lolahleko alisona isiqalo seNkathi Yokuthula entsha — okwamanje. Ngoba nathi sifunde emfanekisweni weNdodana Yolahleko ukuthi indodana endala yayingubani hhayi vula umusa kaBaba. Kanjalo futhi, abaningi bazokwenqaba umusa weNkanyiso ozosiza ukudonsela imiphefumulo esihawweni sikaNkulunkulu, noma ibashiye ebumnyameni. Izimvu zizohlungwa ezimbuzini, ukolweni emakhobeni. ^[8]qhathanisa Ukuhlanzwa Okukhulu Ngakho-ke, isigaba sizobekelwa "ukubhekana kokugcina" phakathi kwamandla okuKhanya namandla obumnyama. ^[9]qhathanisa Ukuphila Incwadi Yesambulo  Yilobu bumnyama obungenelelayo uPapa Benedict abelokhu exwayisa ngabo isizukulwane sethu ngezimfundiso zakhe ezingokwesiprofetho.

Kepha uNkulunkulu uzonika labo abathola isihe Sakhe an umphongolo wesiphephelo ezikhathini ezizayo ukuze babone indlela yabo ebumnyameni… ^[10]bheka UMphongolo Omkhulu futhi Isimangaliso Sesihe
