IZWI LAMANJE LOKUFUNDWA KWESIMISA

NgoLwesine Weviki Lesine LePhasika

U-Israyeli, ngokombono ohlukile…

LAPHO izizathu ezimbili zokuthi imiphefumulo ilalele ezwini likaNkulunkulu likhuluma ngabaprofethi Bakhe kanye "nezimpawu zezikhathi" esizukulwaneni sabo. Okokuqala ukuthi abantu abafuni nje ukuzwa ukuthi yonke into ayiyona peachy.

Ubuthongo bethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu busenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi… ubuthongo babafundi [eGetsemane] abukho inkinga yalowo mzuzu owodwa, esikhundleni somlando wonke, 'ukulala' kungokwethu, okwethu esingafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi angafuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience

Isizathu sesibili ukuthi Isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu akusona esethu. Lokhu kuyacaca njengoba uSt. Paul ebhala umlando wama-Israyeli kusukela ngesikhathi sokuFuduka kuya ekufikeni kukaKristu — sekudlule iminyaka engaphezu kwamakhulu ayishumi nanhlanu! Ngokunjalo, sekuphele iminyaka engama-2000 kudlule iPhasika lokuqala, futhi izethembiso zemiBhalo zisazofinyelela ekugcwalisekeni kwazo ngokuphelele.

Futhi-ke, siyazumeka.

Kodwa kuzofika isikhathi, njengoba uSt. Paul eholela kuJohane uMbhapathizi, lapho uNkulunkulu ezovuka khona abandulelayo ngokushesha ezikhathini ezaprofethwa. UJohn XXIII, upapa wethu osanda kugcotshwa, wabonakala ezwa sengathi ukubusa kwakhe kwakungokwesiprofetho — ukulungiselela iSonto “inkathi yokuthula.”

Umsebenzi kaPapa John othobekile “ukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abaphelele,” ofana ncamashi nomsebenzi wombhabhadisi, ongumlandeli wakhe nokuthi uthatha igama lakhe kuye. Futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ucabange ukuphelela okuphakeme futhi okuyigugu kunalokho lokunqoba kokuthula kobuKristu, okuwukuthula enhliziyweni, ukuthula ngokuhleleka kwezenhlalo, empilweni, impilo kahle, ukuhloniphana nobuzwe bezizwe . —UPOPA JOHN XXIII, Ukuthula KwamaKristu Wangempela, Disemba 23, 1959; www

Kusukela ekuphatheni kwakhe njengopapa, opapa abamlandelayo bebengabaprofethi futhi, ^[1]qhathanisa OPapa, kanye no-Era futhi Kungani Abapapa Bengamemezi? ngokuqondene, ngibiza intsha ukuba “abamemezeli” kanye “nabalindi” bokusa okusha “kobulungiswa nokuthula.” ^[2]qhathanisa Baba oNgcwele othandekayo… Uyeza!

Futhi nokho, abaningi bangathi, "Lokho kwakungaphezu kweminyaka engama-50 edlule!" Ngokunjalo, iminyaka yama-90 yaletha umfutho wokulindelwa okukhulu ngemibono kanye nokuhlinzekwa okunikezwe uMama Obusisiwe, ingasaphathwa eyeJubili Elikhulu ekuqaleni kweminyaka eyinkulungwane.

[UJohn Paul II] ukwazisa kakhulu ukuthi iminyaka eyinkulungwane yoqhekeko izolandelwa yinkulungwane yeminyaka yokuhlanganiswa… ukuthi zonke izinhlekelele zekhulu lethu, zonke izinyembezi zalo, njengoba uPapa esho, zizobanjwa ekugcineni futhi yaphenduka isiqalo esisha. —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), Usawoti Womhlaba, Ingxoxo NoPeter Seewald, k. 237

Futhi nokho, nakhu sesineminyaka eyishumi nane kamuva, futhi umhlaba ubonakala uqhubeka njengenjwayelo.

Noma kunjalo?

Akukho mbuzo (kulabo "abavukile") ukuthi laba okungakaze kwenzeke izikhathi lapho umnotho, imingcele yezwe, kanye namacwecwe omhlaba uqobo kubonakala kulungele ukushintsha okuyinhlekelele. INcasakazi uMariya ivela ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene, ikhomba, ikhuthaza, ibiza, futhi isixwayiso. NoJesu uqobo wembulela uSt Faustina ukuthi sisesikhathini “somusa.” Ngempela, ukubheka nje okuncane nje ezihlokweni zansuku zonke kwembula umhlaba osesicijeni sokuthi emhlabeni jikelele ukuhlala ngaphandle kwe- izimpawu zesAmbulo nalezo zinhlungu zokubeletha ezichazwe nguJesu. ^[3]qhathanisa IziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa zeRevolution Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngiyabonga ngokuthi uNkulunkulu usinike okungako isikhathi kithi njengoba Enzile. Ngabe iziphrofetho zekhulu leminyaka elidlule zehlulekile… noma sezizokwenzeka?

Noma sibona inkathi yokuthula uSt.John XXIII aqala ukusilungiselela yona, Umphikukristu, noma ukunqoba kwenhliziyo engenacala, siyazi ukuthi singathembela ekuthembekeni kukaNkulunkulu, noma yini ezayo:

Ngoba uthé, "Umusa wami umi kuze kube phakade" (Ihubo lanamuhla)

Kepha lesi akusona isaba sokuziba izimpawu zezikhathi, kepha kunalokho, bhekane nazo ngqo nokuzethemba kwamadodana namadodakazi oPhezukonke.

Kusukela manje ngikutshela kungakenzeki, ukuze kuthi lapho sekwenzeka, nikholwe ukuthi ngikhona. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
