Okubi, futhi, kunegama

Isilingo e-Edene, ngu-Michael D. O'Brien

 

NOMA hhayi cishe enamandla njenge Ubuhle, kodwa impela kusabalele, ukuba khona kobubi emhlabeni wethu. Kepha ngokungafani nezizukulwane ezedlule, akusafihliwe. Udrako useqalile ukukhombisa amazinyo akhe ezikhathini zethu…

 

OKUBI UNEGAMA

Encwadini ayibhalela uThomas Merton ongasekho, uCatherine de Hueck Doherty wabhala:

Ngesizathu esithile ngicabanga ukuthi ukhathele. Ngiyazi ukuthi nami ngiyesaba futhi ngikhathele. Ngoba ubuso beNkosana Yobumnyama buyacaca futhi bucace kimi. Kubukeka sengathi akasenandaba nokuhlala "engaziwa kakhulu," "incognito," "wonke umuntu." Kubonakala sengathi ungene kwezakhe futhi uzibonakalisa kulo lonke iqiniso lakhe elibuhlungu. Bambalwa-ke abakholelwa ebukhoneni bakhe angabe esadinga ukuzifihla! -Umlilo Onobubele, Izincwadi zikaThomas Merton noCatherine de Hueck Doherty, Mashi 17, 1962, Ave Maria Press (2009), iphe. 60. UCatherine Doherty wakha iMadonna House Apostolate, eqhubeka nokondla abampofu emphefumulweni nasemzimbeni kusuka enkampanini yayo eseCombermere, Ont., Canada

O, Baroness othandekayo, ukube ubusaphila namuhla! Ungathini kithina manje? Yimaphi amagama azophuma enhliziyweni yakho eyimfihlakalo, engokwesiprofetho?

Okubi kunegama. Igama lakhe uSathane.

Yebo, ezinye izazi zemfundiso yenkolo zenze umsebenzi ococekile wokuchitha le ngelosi ewile njengenganekwane emsulwa, indlela yokubhala nje echaza ubukhulu bokuhlupheka nobumnyama emhlabeni wethu. Yebo, uSathane ubenenhlanhla yokuthi aqinisekise ngisho namalungu athile abefundisi ukuba alikhiphe iqiniso lokuthi ukhona, kangangoba uze uphakamise ukuthi kukhona udeveli odonsa izifinyezo nokuhlekisa ngabanye “abakhanyiselwe” ngokwenkolo.

Kepha lokhu akumele kumangaze muntu. Isitha esihle kunazo zonke isicashile. Kepha kufihlwe kuphela inqobo nje uma ilinde ukuphuma ngomzuzu ofanele. Futhi lowo mzuzu, bafowethu nodadewethu, ekugcineni ufikile.

 

OKUFIHLIWE

Njengoba ngibhalile encwadini yami, Ubuso bokugcina, impi phakathi koMfazi nodrako weSambulo 12 yaqala isigaba esibalulekile emlandweni ngekhulu le-16. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho udrako, uSathane, inyoka yasendulo, aqala khona ukuhlasela kwakhe iSonto Labafazi, hhayi ngokushesha ngodlame lokufel 'ukholo, kodwa ngokuthile okubulala kakhulu: ifilosofi enobuthi. Udrako wasala efihliwe ngemuva kobuhlakani babantu, ebahlupha kancane kancane ngama-sophistries - amanga nenkohliso-aqala ukuhambisa umphakathi, ngisho nabacabangayo ngaphakathi kweSonto, beqhela kancane kancane esikhungweni sabo: impilo kuNkulunkulu. Lezi zinkohliso, ezifihlwe ngaphansi kwe "isms" (isb. Deism, science, rationalism, njll.), Zaqhubeka kuwo wonke lamakhulu eminyaka alandelayo, ziguquka futhi zavela, zaqhubekisela umhlaba phambili kude kakhulu ekukholweni kuNkulunkulu zaze zaqala bathatha izinhlobo zabo ezibulala kakhulu “zobukhomanisi,” “ukungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu,” kanye “nokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo,” “kobuntu besifazane obunamandla,” “ukuzimela,” kanye “nokongiwa kwemvelo.” Noma kunjalo, udrako uhlala efihliwe ngandlela thile ngemuva kwale "isms", ngaphandle kwezithelo zawo ezinegazi, ngisho nezithelo ezinesihluku.

Kodwa manje, isikhathi sesifikile sokuba udrako aqhume endaweni yakhe yokuhlala. Ngisho namanje, bambalwa abakubonayo lokhu, ngoba “amaKristu” amaningi ahluleka ukubona ukuthi kukhona udrako. Kepha abaningi bazokholwa lapho, njengesela ebusuku, udrako ehlela ebuntwini ngawo wonke amandla akhe:

Wayengumbulali wabantu kwasekuqaleni… ungumqambimanga noyise wamanga. (Johane 8:44)

Ngenkathi uJesu ekhuluma la mazwi, wayeprofetha ngale mpi yamanje nezayo, esixwayisa ngo modus operandi yesitha: umqambimanga ngenhloso yokubulala. Kuyimpi yefa lomhlaba, impi yokunquma ukuthi umbuso kabani oyonqoba — lowo “wendodana yokulahlwa” (Umphikukristu), noma lowo weNdodana yoMuntu (noMzimba Wakhe):

… Udrako wema phambi kowesifazane owayesezobeletha, ukushwabadela ingane yakhe lapho ebeletha. Wazala indodana, umntwana wesilisa, omiselwe ukubusa zonke izizwe ngenduku yensimbi. (IsAm 12: 4-5)

 

OKWEMBULWA

Impucuko yehla kancane, kancane nje ngokwanele ukuze ucabange ukuthi kungenzeka kungenzeki ngempela. Futhi nje usheshe ngokwanele ukuze kungabi nesikhathi esincanyana sokuhamba. ' -I-Plague Journal, okuvela encwadini kaMichael D. O'Brien, k. 160

Inhloso kaSathane ukugoqa impucuko ezandleni zakhe, zibe yisakhiwo nohlelo olubizwa "isilo." Inhloso ngokwengxenye hhayi kuphela ukulawula zonke izici zezimpilo zesifundo sakhe, kepha noku ukunciphisa inani labantu emhlabeni. Lokhu kufezwa ngamanxusa akhe: abesilisa nabesifazane abavame ukuba "yimiphakathi eyimfihlo" esebenza, mhlawumbe ngokungazi, njengezinsimbi zeNkosana Yobumnyama:

Kukhona e-Italy amandla esingajwayele ukukhuluma ngawo kule Ndlu… ngisho izinhlangano eziyimfihlo… Akusizi ngalutho ukuphika, ngoba akunakwenzeka ukufihla, ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yeYurophu — lonke elase-Italy neFrance kanye nengxenye enkulu yaseJalimane, ukungasho lutho ngamanye amazwe — imbozwe ngoxhaxha lwale mibutho eyimfihlo, njengoba nje nezimangaliso zomhlaba manje sezigcwele ujantshi wesitimela. Futhi ziyini izinto zabo? Abazami ukuzifihla. Abafuni uhulumeni womthethosisekelo; manje bafuna izikhungo ezithuthukisiwe… bafuna ukushintsha umhlaba, ukuxosha abanikazi bomhlaba abakhona manje nokuqeda izikhungo zebandla. Abanye babo bangaqhubekela phambili… —UNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela uBenjamin Disraeli, ekhuluma neNdlu yePhalamende, ngoJulayi 14, 1856; Izinhlangano Eziyimfihlo Nokunyakaza Okudlubulundayo, UNesta H. Webster, ngo-1924.

Bayaklolodela; bakhuluma ngobubi; kusukela phezulu bahlela ukucindezela. Babeke imilomo yabo emazulwini, nezilimi zabo zayala umhlaba. (IHubo 73: 8)

Amanye amadoda amakhulu kakhulu e-United States, emkhakheni wezohwebo nowokwenza, yiwo wesaba okuthile. Bayazi ukuthi kukhona amandla ndawana thile ahleleke kangaka, acashile, aqaphe kakhulu, axhumene kakhulu, aphelele, agcwele yonke indawo, okungangcono bangakhulumi ngaphezu komoya wabo uma bekhuluma bewalahla. -UMongameli waseMelika uWoodrow Wilson, Inkululeko Entsha, 1913

Namuhla, lamazwi "ayimfihlo" manje asekhuluma obala evumela ukunciphisa inani labantu emhlabeni, lokuphoqa inzalo, lokususa noma ukwenza lula ukufa kwalabo "abangafuneki" noma labo abangafuni ukuphila. Ngamafuphi, izijeziso ezehlela umhlaba ziyi eyenziwe ngumuntu-the izimpawu zesAmbulo (6: 3-8): impi ehleliwe, ukuwa komnotho, ubhadane nendlala. Yebo, ihlelwe.

Ngomona kaSathane, ukufa kweza emhlabeni: futhi zimlandela ezingasohlangothini lwakhe. (Wis 2: 24-26; IDouay-Rheims)

 

LALELA ABAPROFETHI!

Phambili, ngokuxwayisa iSonto ngalelihora elizayo, bekungekho ngaphansi kukaBaba Ongcwele uqobo:

UFaro wasendulo, ethakaselwa ubukhona nokwanda kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wabathobela kuzo zonke izinhlobo zokucindezelwa futhi wayala ukuthi bonke abantwana besilisa abazalwa ngabesifazane abangamaHeberu babulawe (cf. Ex 1: 7-22). Namuhla abambalwa abanamandla emhlabeni benza ngendlela efanayo. Nabo bahlushwa ukukhula kwamanje kwabantu… Ngenxa yalokho, kunokuba bafise ukubhekana nokuxazulula lezi zinkinga ezinkulu ngokuhlonipha isithunzi sabantu kanye nemindeni kanye nelungelo lomuntu ngamunye lokuphila elingenakuphikiswa, bakhetha ukukhuthaza nokubeka ngenkani nganoma iyiphi indlela uhlelo olukhulu lokulawulwa kokuzalwa. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae, "IVangeli Lokuphila",n. 16

Abamesiya abasha, ekufuneni ukuguqula isintu sibe yinhlangano enqanyuliwe kuMdali wakhe, ngokungazi bayoletha ukubhujiswa kwengxenye enkulu yesintu. Bazokhipha ama-horror angakaze abonwe: indlala, izinhlupho, izimpi, futhi ekugcineni nobulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu. Ekuqaleni bazosebenzisa ukuphoqa ukuqhubeka nokunciphisa inani labantu, bese kuthi uma lokho kwehluleka basebenzise amandla. - UMichael D. O'Brien, Ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke kanye neNew World Order, Mashi 17, 2009

USathane angathatha izikhali zenkohliso ezethusayo kakhulu — angazifihla — angazama ukusikhohlisa ezintweni ezincane, futhi ukuze asuse iSonto, hhayi konke ngasikhathi sinye, kodwa kancane kancane esikhundleni salo sangempela. Ngikholwa ukuthi wenze lukhulu ngale ndlela emakhulwini ambalwa edlule… Kuyinqubomgomo yakhe ukusihlukanisa nokusihlukanisa, ukusisusa kancane kancane edwaleni lethu lamandla. Futhi uma kuzoba noshushiso, mhlawumbe kuzoba khona ngaleso sikhathi; khona-ke, mhlawumbe, lapho sonke sonke kuzo zonke izingxenye zeLobukholwa sihlukene phakathi, futhi sinciphe kangaka, sigcwele uqhekeko, sisondele kakhulu ekuhlubukeni. Lapho siziphonsa emhlabeni futhi sincike ekuvikelekeni kuwo, futhi sishiya ukuzimela kwethu namandla ethu, khona-ke angahle aqhume kithi ngokufutheka kuze kufike lapho uNkulunkulu emvumela khona… kanti Umphik'ukristu ubonakala njengomshushisi… —UJohn Henry Newman onamandla Intshumayelo IV: Ukushushiswa Komphik'ukristu

Yebo, okubi kunegama. Futhi manje inobuso: indawo exitium— ”ukubhujiswa ”.

 

UNGESABI!

Njengoba sibuka izimpawu zalezi zikhathi zembuleka phambi kwamehlo ethu, thina kumele khumbula ukuthi uMfazi abaleke umlomo kadrako. Ukuthi ukupha kukaNkulunkulu kuhlale kuneBandla Lakhe angasoze alilahla. Ngakho-ke, yena lo mprofethi, uJohn Paul II, wasikhuthaza ephindelela: “Ungesabi." Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi uqiniseke ukuthi uyingxenye yalelo Bandla leqiniso; ukuthi usesimweni somusa ngokuvuma njalo, ukwamukela uMthendeleko oNgcwele, nempilo yokholo exhunywe kuMvini, onguKristu Jesu. Umama wakhe, Owesifazane-uMariya, sinikezwe thina kulezi zikhathi ukuba sichithe udrako ezimpilweni zethu ngokusithwala esifubeni sakhe siye eNdodaneni yakhe. Wenza lokhu okuhle kakhulu, kubonakala sengathi, ngokuhlangana kwethu kuye eRosary Elingcwele.

Yebo, ngikholwa ukuthi ukube uCatherine Doherty ubephila namuhla, ubengasitshela nokuthi: Ungesabi… Kepha hlala uphapheme! Ngendlela yakhe eqondile yaseRussia, sengimuzwa ethi manje…

Ulele ngani? Ngabe ubheke ini uma ungaziboni izikhathi okuzo? Sukuma! Sukuma mphefumulo! Ungesabi lutho ngaphandle kokulala! Phinda igama likaJesu, iGama laKhe, iGama laKhe elinamandla. Igama lakhe elinqoba zonke izithiyo, elicima zonke izinkanuko, futhi lichoboze yonke inyoka. Ngegama likaJesu ezindebeni zakho, bheka efasiteleni kumafu aqoqayo, futhi ngokuzethemba konke, khuluma iGama Lakhe emoyeni! Khuluma manje, bese udedela imifudlana yosizi ekhukhuleke emhlabeni i-balm yokuphulukisa yangempela elangazelelwa yiyo yonke imiphefumulo. Khuluma iGama likaJesu kuyo yonke imiphefumulo ohlangana nayo, ngamehlo akho, ngamazwi akho, nangezenzo zakho. Yiba igama likaJesu eliphilayo!
