INDLU

Ngo-2009, besihlala edolobheni elincane, sithuthele khona eminyakeni emibili kuphela ngaphambili. Sasingenawo umuzwa wokuphinde siwususe umndeni wethu. Kepha sobabili nonkosikazi wami sizwe ucingo olungaphenduki emaphandleni. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngathola indinyana ethile emiBhalweni eyeqa ekhasini, kepha manje kuphela, ngiyalokotha ngithi, kunengqondo.

Ndodana yomuntu, uhlala phakathi kwendlu ehlubukayo; banamehlo okubona kepha ababoni, nezindlebe zokuzwa kepha abezwa, ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo. (Hezekeli 12: 2)

Ngempela, ngenkathi uJesu engibizela kulo mphostoli ngokusebenzisa a isipiliyoni esinamandla ngaphambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe, Ngangifunde nencwadi ka-Isaya:

Ngase ngizwa izwi leNkosi lithi, "Ngizothuma bani? Ngubani ozosiyela?" "Ngilapha," ngathi; "ngithumele!" Waphendula wathi: `` Hambani nithi kulaba bantu: Lalelani ngokucophelela, kepha anizukuqonda. Bheka ngokucophelela, kepha ngeke wazi lutho! (Isaya 6: 8-9)

Isikhathi salokhu kuhlubuka ngu Ngesikhathi ukuhlubuka endlini kaNkulunkulu: ukuhlubuka.

Umsila kasathane usebenza ekuhlakazekeni komhlaba wamaKhatholika. Ubumnyama bukaSathane bungene basabalala kulo lonke iSonto LamaKhatholika kuze kufike esiqongweni salo. Ukuhlubuka, ukulahleka kokholo, kusakazeka emhlabeni wonke kuya emazingeni aphakeme kakhulu eSontweni. —UPOPE PAUL VI, Ikheli ngeSikhumbuzo Saminyaka Engamashumi Amashumi Amathandathu Sokubonakala Kwe-Fatima, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1977

INkosi yaqhubeka yathi kumprofethi uHezekeli:

Manje, ndodana yomuntu, emini besabhekile, lungisa impahla yakho kube sengathi uyokudingiswa, futhi lapho besabuka, fuduka usuke lapho uhlala khona uye kwenye indawo; mhlawumbe bazobona ukuthi bayindlu ehlubukayo. Uyokhipha umthwalo wakho njengokudingiswa emini besabuka; ngoba ngikwenzé waba yisibonakaliso sendlu ka-Israyeli. (Hezekeli 12: 3-6)

Ukube bekungekho ngomusa nokugcotshwa emphefumulweni wami njengamanje, bengingeke ngibe nesibindi sokubhala lokhu; kodwa ngizizwa ngidinga uku…

ISIBONAKALISO?

Bobabili abomkami nomndeni wami bahlala kwesinye isifundazwe saseCanada. Sisekude namahora kulabo esibathandayo nesibazisayo. Siphakathi nendawo, kude nabangane, izinxanxathela zezitolo, futhi okubuhlungu kakhulu, iMisa lansuku zonke. Ngiye ngadideka ngalokhu ngoba iMisa lansuku zonke laliwumphefumulo wobuphostoli bami, lingumthombo nengqungquthela yawo wonke umusa. Ngibuze umphathi wami wezomoya ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ezosikhiphela lapha, edingisiwe kusuka ezisekelweni ebesilokhu sinazo. Uphendule ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa wumoya, "uNkulunkulu uyakulungiselela ukuthi lezi zinto ezisekelayo ngeke zisatholakala nini." Ngakho-ke, ngiyamfuna lapho ekhona, lapho, efihlwe emphefumulweni wami ompofu… nangomsizi wami, uMoya oNgcwele, Ngimthola engimlangazelelayo.

Ngakho-ke, njengoba sinikezwe imisebenzi ebiphambi kwethu, mina nomkami sichithe unyaka odlule siphendula isakhiwo esisodwa saba yinqolobane, esinye saba ihhoko lezinkukhu; sathenga inkomo yobisi, ezinye izikhukhukazi nezinkukhu zenyama, futhi satshala insimu enkulu. Sibiyile amadlelo ethu, sathenga umshini wokugaya isikela omdala, i-rake, ne-baler, futhi maduzane sizokwenza ifulawa. Sigcwalise oovimba bethu abancane ngama-oats nokolweni sahlanza amanzi ethu kahle. Kunjengokungathi uNkulunkulu usisa ngakuye ukuziphilisa, ethembele kancane ngangokunokwenzeka "ohlelweni," osekuye kwaba nzima ngokwengeziwe ezweni laseNtshonalanga ukuthi umane uphile kulo. Kunjengokungathi Usilungiselela izikhathi eziseza ngqo ngqo - izilingo ezibuhlungu kunazo zonke izwe elake lazibona . Lokhu sikwenza "emini," hhayi ekusithekeni. Silungiselela ngokomoya futhi yebo, ngokwenyama, ngezinsuku eziseduze. Ngithobekile ngiyabuza, ngabe iNkosi ikubhalela umlayezo, kulokhu ngaphandle kwezwi, kepha ngezenzo Esishukumisele ukuba sizithathe?

NGOKUSHESHA…

Umprofethi uHezekeli uqhubeka nokubhala:

Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: “Ndodana yomuntu, siyini lesi saga onaso ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, esithi:“ Izinsuku ziyaqhubeka, kungabikho mbono ofika ngalutho ”? Ngalokho thana kubo: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngiyakuqeda lesi saga; kabasayikukucaphuna futhi kwa-Israyeli. Kunalokho, yithi kubo: Izinsuku zisondele, kanye nokugcwaliseka kwayo yonke imibono. Noma yini engiyikhulumayo ingeyokugcina, futhi izokwenziwa ngaphandle kokulibala. Ezinsukwini zakho, ndlu ehlubukayo, noma yini engiyikhulumayo ngizoyiletha, isho iNkosi uJehova… Ndodana yomuntu, lalela indlu yakwa-Israyeli ithi: Umbono awubonayo ukude, uprofetha ngekusasa elikude. " Yisho kubo, uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Akukho nelilodwa igama lami elizolibazisa; konke engikukhulumayo kungokugcina, kuzakwenziwa, isho iNkosi uJehova. (Hezekeli 12: 21-28)

Yize ngigcina ukuthi asikwazi ukwazi ngokuqinisekile isikhathi secebo likaNkulunkulu, bengingeke ngibe neqiniso uma bengingakutsheli ukuthi ngizizwa ngaphakathi kwamathambo ami ukuthi kude nezikhathi kusuka kumicimbi eshintsha umhlaba wonke, uma kungenjalo ukungenelela kukaNkulunkulu lokho kuzobeka inkambo yokuphela kwalesi sikhathi.

Vele, baningi labo abazothi, "Sizwile ngalokhu phambilini! Ungelinye futhi izwi, obenezinhloso ezinhle noma cha, elidala ukwesaba okukhulu, ukukhathazeka okungenampilo ngezikhathi zokugcina, nokuphambuka kulokho kubaluleke ngempela. " Impendulo yami iqonde ngqo:

INkosi ayilibali isithembiso sayo, njengoba abanye bethi "ukubambezeleka," kepha iyanibekezelela, ingathandi ukuthi kubhubhe noma ngubani kodwa bonke baphenduke. Kodwa usuku lweNkosi luzofika njengesela… (2 Pet 3: 9-10)

Akuyona neze ibhizinisi lami lapho iNkosi izoletha ukuqulwa kwecala kokugcina ukuthi iCatechism ifundisa, i I-Era Yokuthula okulindelwe oFata beSonto noPapa banamuhla, noma i-
ukufika kwalowo ophikisana naye uSiko ambiza ngokuthi "umphik'ukristu"Kodwa-ke kungumsebenzi wethu ukubheka futhi sithandazele izinhlungu zokubeletha ezihambisana nabo - futhi ezimeni eziningi lokho kuzokwenzeka ngaso leso sikhathi kubanga izigidi zabantu—Usimangazi “njengesela” ebusuku. 

Uma ubona ifu likhuphuka entshonalanga usho ngokushesha ukuthi lizokuna — futhi kunjalo… Bazenzisi! Nina niyakwazi ukuchaza ukubonakala komhlaba nesibhakabhaka; kungani ningakwazi ukuhumusha lesi sikhathi samanje? (Luka 12:54, 56)

I-FIAT!

Bangani bami, ngizizwa njengoSt. Boniface wake wazizwa, isikhumbuzo sakhe esisikhumbula namuhla. Ebheka izimo zekusasa lakhe, obekungathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kube ukubulawa (futhi kwaba njalo), uthe,

Ngiyesaba lapho ngicabanga ngakho konke lokhu. Ukwesaba nokuthuthumela kwehlela kimi futhi ubumnyama bezono zami bacishe bangimboza.

Futhi-ke, njengoba ngihamba phakathi kwedlelo kanye ne-apostolate, ngizoqhubeka, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ukukhuluma amazwi agcwele enhliziyweni yami. Sesingene esikhathini se-haying manje, ngakho-ke ngicela ungixolele uma ngibhala noma ngisakaza kancane kancane. Kepha-ke, uma le ndawo uNkulunkulu alethe kuyo umndeni wami isentandweni Yakhe, khona-ke lezi zikhathi zokuthula nazo ziyingxenye yecebo Lakhe. Ngibheka imithandazo yenu ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye, futhi ngithinteka ukuthululelwa ngokukhululekile kwezincwadi neminikelo yenu egcine impisi isemnyango. Uthandeka kakhulu kimi, noma ngabe ungubani ovame leli "dlelo likamoya."

Thanda uJesu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, futhi konke okunye kuzolunga.

Ngikhulekeleni, ukuze ngingabaleki ngokwesaba izimpisi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, ngo-Ephreli 24, 2005, eSt. Peter's Square, Ngasekhaya
