Ukwahlulela Kuqala Nomndeni

 

AS insizwa, ngangiphupha ngokuba ngumculi / umbhali wezingoma, ngokunikela ngempilo yami emculweni. Kepha bekubukeka kungenangqondo futhi kungenzeki. Ngakho-ke ngangena kwezobunjiniyela bemishini — umsebenzi owawukhokha kahle, kodwa wawungazifanele ngokuphelele izipho zami nesimo sami. Ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu, ngeqa umhlaba wezindaba zethelevishini. Kepha umphefumulo wami awuzange uphumule kuze kube yilapho iNkosi ekugcineni ingibizela enkonzweni yesikhathi esigcwele. Lapho, ngangicabanga ukuthi ngizophila izinsuku zami njengomculi wama-ballads. Kepha uNkulunkulu wayenamanye amacebo.

Ngelinye ilanga, ngezwa ukuthi iNkosi yangicela ukuthi ngiqale ukushicilela kwi-inthanethi imicabango namagama engangiwabhala encwadini yami yezindaba. Nangempela ngenza njalo. Ngaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi kamuva, leyo "micabango namazwi" ifundwa amashumi ezinkulungwane emhlabeni jikelele. Ngingasho kugcwale umlomo ukuthi lokhu bekungeyona ingxenye yohlelo “lwami”. Futhi bekungeyona ingxenye yohlelo lwami “lokukhuluma” ngezihloko engizenzayo, ezingafingqwa ngegama elilodwa: "Lungiselela! " Kepha lungiselela ini?

 

USUKU LOKUZIPHENDULA

Emuva ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye, ngenkathi inkonzo yami iqala ukumiswa njengeqembu lamaKatolika “lokudumisa nokukhulekela”, ngezwa ukuthi kukhona okungahambanga kahle emphakathini wethu nokuthi sasibheke osukwini lokwahlulelwa. Impucuko yaseNtshonalanga yayisibe 'njengendodana yolahleko' eshiye izimpande zayo zobuKristu, ngenkathi yamukela ngokushesha zonke izinhlobo zobuhle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ladlula ukudlubulunda “kwesidala”; amaqiniso alinganiselwe ayedwetshwa njengangalungile kanti ububi obuyinhloso babwamukelwa njengobuhle. Kwakunomqondo "ongaphakathi" enhliziyweni yami wokuthi sasingena, ngandlela thile, "ezikhathini zokuphela." Futhi ngangazi ukuthi angingedwa. 

Ngiyazi ukuthi zonke izikhathi ziyingozi, nokuthi ngaso sonke isikhathi izingqondo ezibucayi nezikhathazayo, eziphila ngenjongo yokudumisa uNkulunkulu nezidingo zomuntu, zikulungele ukucabanga ukuthi azikho izikhathi eziyingozi njengalezo zazo…. namanje ngiyacabanga… owethu unobumnyama obuhlukile ngohlobo kunoma yiluphi olwake lwaba khona ngaphambi kwalo. Ingozi ekhethekile yesikhathi esiphambi kwethu ukusabalala kwaleyo nhlupho yokungathembeki, ukuthi abaPhostoli neNkosi yethu uqobo babikezele njengenhlekelele embi kakhulu yezikhathi zokugcina zeSonto. Futhi okungenani isithunzi, isithombe esijwayelekile sezikhathi zokugcina siyeza emhlabeni jikelele. —Ubusisiwe uJohn Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), intshumayelo yokuvulwa kweSt. Bernard's Seminary, ngo-Okthoba 2, 1873, Ukungathembeki Kwesikhathi Esizayo

Kodwa-ke, noma yikuphi ukukhuluma ngalokhu ngokusobala kwahlangatshezwa ngokushesha (njengokungathi umuntu wayenochoko) futhi amacala "okubhujiswa nobumnyama" ngokushesha azithola ephonswa ebumnyameni obungaphandle bebandla (lapho "abeCharismatics" nabapristi baseMarian bagedla khona amazinyo) —Ngaphandle kokuthi bekungupapa osho izinto ezinjalo…

Kukhona ukungakhululeki okukhulu ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni naseSontweni, futhi okubuzwayo ukukholwa. Kuyenzeka manje ukuthi ngiphinde kimina ibinzana elingaqondakali likaJesu eVangelini likaSt. Luke: 'Lapho iNdodana yoMuntu ibuya, ingabe isazoluthola ukholo emhlabeni?'… Ngezinye izikhathi ngifunda isigaba seVangeli sokuphela izikhathi futhi ngifakazela ukuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, ezinye izimpawu zalesi siphelo ziyavela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.

Ngeke ngakusho lokho, namanje, ngikhululekile ngakho konke. Ngisanda kuba ngumkhulu ngaphambi kukaKhisimusi, futhi ngisenabafana abahlanu esibakhulisa ekhaya. Njengawo wonke umuntu, ngilwa nezixwayiso ezibucayi ezivela eZulwini eziveza izinguquko ezinkulu. Ngubani ongafuni ukuguga ngokuthula nangokuthula? Kodwa siphila ezweni lapho bembalwa kakhulu abakujabulelayo lokho. Lapho izigidi ezingenakubalwa zibulawa yindlala kulo mzuzu ngenkathi ngiphuza inkomishi yetiye bese ngithayipha. ^[1]qhathanisa Ingabe Uyakuzwa Ukukhala Kwabampofu? Lapho izimpi zombango zisusa imindeni nezimpi zomhlaba zisongela impucuko njengoba sazi. ^[2]qhathanisa Impendulo YamaKatolika Enkingeni Yababaleki Lapho okungakazalwa kudatshulwe ngokungenasihawu, ngobudlova, futhi kabuhlungu eziswini zomama babo izigidi unyaka ngamunye. ^[3]qhathanisa Iqiniso Elinzima - Ingxenye V Lapho izithombe zobulili ezingcolile zisakazeka njengesinye sezifo ezimbi kakhulu emlandweni wesintu esonakalisa ubumsulwa, ubumsulwa, imishado nemindeni. ^[4]qhathanisa Abazingeli Futhi lapho iqiniso elikhulule abantu, imiphakathi namasiko akhululekile… manje lisengcupheni yokuthuliswa njengoba iSonto lihlala lithule njengamagwala. ^[5]qhathanisa Amagwala!

 

KUFIKA ISIPhepho

Futhi-ke, kuyeza, ukuhlanzwa komhlaba osekubikezelwe kudala — futhi ubani ongasho ukuthi kungaba ukungabi nabulungisa? Lapho iNkosi isebenzisa umfanekiso wesiphepho ukuchaza Isivunguvungu Esikhulu obekuzofika emhlabeni wonke, ngashaqeka ngemuva kweminyaka ngifunda amagama afanayo emibhalweni evunyelwe ka-Elizabeth Kindelmann, phakathi kwabanye.

Imiphefumulo ekhethiwe kuzofanele ilwe neNkosana Yobumnyama. Kuzoba isiphepho esesabekayo. Esikhundleni salokho, kuzoba yisiphepho esizofuna ukuqeda ukholo nokuzethemba kwalabo abakhethiweyo. Kulesiyaluyalu esesabekayo esiqala manje, uzobona ukugqama kweLangabi Lami Lothando elikhanyisa iZulu nomhlaba ngokukhishwa kwemiphumela yalo yomusa engikudlulisela emiphefumulweni ngalobu busuku obumnyama. —Umlayezo osuka ku-Virgin Mary Obusisiwe waya ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann (1913-1985); yamukelwa nguKhadinali Péter Erdö, isikhulu sase-Hungary; kusuka Ilangabi Lothando Lwenhliziyo Engaphelele (Kindle)

Isiphepho esikhulu siyeza futhi sizothatha imiphefumulo engenandaba edliwe ubuvila. Ingozi enkulu izogqashuka lapho ngisusa isandla sami sokuvikela. Xwayisa wonke umuntu, ikakhulukazi abapristi, ngakho bayanyakaziswa ngenxa yokunganaki kwabo.—UJesu waya ku-Elizabeth, Mashi 12, 1964; Ilangabi Lothando, k. 77; Imprimatur kusuka ku-Archbishop Charles Chaput

Umama wami nguMphongolo kaNowa. -Ibid. k. 109

Kepha kube nokumangala sekwephuzile kweSonto, futhi yilokhu:

… Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale nendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukuthobela iVangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Petru 4:17)

Ingozi bekulokhu ukuthi labo “abaphilela udumo lukaNkulunkulu” bangakhohlwa ukuthi ukumhlonipha kusho nokuthi “thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena.” Futhi ingozi yokuthi iSonto lingalala, njengabafundi baseGetsemane, bese likhohlwa ukuthi inhloso yalo okokuqala akuyona indaba yokuzivikela, kodwa yenkohliso-ukuzikhipha ngokuphelele komunye. 

Noma ngubani othanda ukungilandela makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele. Ngoba noma ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe uyolahlekelwa yiyo, kepha noma ngubani olahlekelwa ngumphefumulo wakhe ngenxa yami nangenxa yevangeli uyowusindisa. (Mar 8: 34-35)

 

IZITELEKO EZINTATHU

Uma uJohn Paul II esikhuthaza ukuthi "singesabi," kwakunjalo ukuze singesabi ukuletha uJesu phakathi kwekilasi, ihhovisi kanye nemakethe. Usiqinisekise futhi ukuthi isihe Saphezulu asikulungele nje kuphela ukuxolela, kepha ukufinyelela okungafinyeleleki — ngathi… ukudlula us! Kepha ngaleso sikhathi sobupapa, ngabona iSonto elaliyilo Esaba ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, Esaba yesiprofetho, Esaba izimangaliso, Esaba wabalaleli, Esaba wezipho eziyimfihlakalo zoMzimba kaKristu.

Ngakho-ke, kuBenedict XVI, iNkosi ngokushesha yaqala ukuxwayisa ukuthi iSonto elifudumele laliyi- befa Isonto. 

Usongo lokwahlulelwa luyasithinta nathi, iSonto eYurophu, eYurophu kanye naseNtshonalanga iyonke… iNkosi nayo iyakhala ezindlebeni zethu… “Uma ungaphenduki ngizoza kuwe ngisuse uthi lwakho lwesibani endaweni yalo.” Ukukhanya kungasuswa kithina futhi senza kahle ukuvumela lesi sixwayiso sizwakale ngokuzimisela okukhulu ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngenkathi sikhala eNkosini: “Sisize siphenduke!” —UPapa uBenedict XVI, Ukuvula i-Homily, ISinodi Yababhishobhi, Okthoba 2, 2005, eRoma.

"Ukholo lusengozini yokufa njengelangabi elingasenamandla okubasa," waxwayisa ababhishobhi bomhlaba. ^[6]qhathanisa Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa Benedict XVI kubo Bonke Ababhishobhi Bomhlaba, Mashi 10, 2009; I-Catholic Online Ubuthongo babaPhostoli eGetsemane, waxwayisa, manje athwale. 

Ubuthongo bethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu busenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi… 'ubuthongo' bungobethu, bethu abangafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi abafuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience

INkosi yathumela uFrancis ukuthi asivuse. ^[7]qhathanisa Ukulungiswa Okuhlanu   

… Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale nendlu kaNkulunkulu… 

Kusukela ekuqaleni, umArgentina wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi wayekhona ukuzodala "isiphithiphithi." 

Yini engiyethemba ngeSuku Lentsha Lomhlaba? Nginethemba lokuxakaniseka… ukuthi iBandla lingena ezitaladini. Ukuthi sizivikela entofontofo, nokuthi sizivikela kwabefundisi. -I-Catholic News Agency, Julayi 25th, i-2013

Indlela yakhe yobudlova epapa, kanye nokugxeka kaningi ngokungagunci nongabeki abefundisi kwaqala ukubonakala. Wayefuna iSonto “elimpofu” elinabapristi ababenuka “njengezimvu” kakhulu kunendlu yabefundisi. Akumangalisi-ke ukuthi uFrancis umthanda kakhulu uBusisiwe Paul VI, owathi:

Leli khulu leminyaka lomele ubuqiniso… Umhlaba ulindele kithi ukuba lula kwempilo, umoya wokukhuleka, ukulalela, ukuthobeka, ukuzidela nokuzidela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla, 22, 76

Omunye umpristi wathengisa imoto yakhe yezemidlalo wanikela ngemali etholakele esizeni eswele. Omunye engikhulume naye wanquma ukugcina umakhalekhukhwini wakhe esikhundleni sokuwuthuthukisa. Umbhishobhi wami wangaphambili wathengisa indawo yokuhlala enkulu yesifundabhishobhi waqasha ifulethi. Ngamafuphi, uPapa wayegqugquzela ngamunye wethu ukuthi abhekane nokuthanda izwe futhi enze okuthile ngakho: phenduka.

… Izwe liyimpande yobubi futhi lingaholela ekubeni sishiye amasiko ethu futhi sixoxisane ngokuthembeka kwethu kuNkulunkulu othembekile njalo. Lokhu… kubizwa ngokuthi ukuhlubuka, oku… kuyindlela “yokuphinga” eyenzeka lapho sixoxisana ngomongo wobuntu bethu: ukwethembeka eNkosini. —UPAPA UFRANCIS ovela emndenini, iVatican Radio, ngoNovemba 18, 2013

KuFrancis, ukunethezeka, ubuvila, nabefundisi kuyizingozi ezikhona manje ngaphakathi kweBandla okuncisha umhlaba ukukhanya kukaKristu, njengoba nje ukungabi khona komoya-mpilo kuncisha ilangabi ekushiseni ngamandla.

Ukukholwa yilangabi eliqina ngokwengeziwe lapho kwabiwa futhi kudluliswa, ukuze wonke umuntu azi, athande futhi avume uJesu Kristu, iNkosi yokuphila neyomlando. —UPAPA FRANCIS, IMisa Yokuvala yoSuku Lwama-28 Lomhlaba Lwentsha, eCopacabana Beach, eRio de Janeiro; I-Zenit.org, Julayi 28th, i-2013

"Kungasekho izimpilo ezimbili. Guqula manje… ”, kusho izihloko ezindabeni zeZenit zangoFebhuwari 23, 2017, zifingqa inkulumo kaPapa Francis ekuseni. “Ungabenzi ihlazo abancane,” esho, ephinda iVangeli lapho uJesu axwayisa khona ukuthi kungcono ukuphonswa olwandle kunokuholela abasesichengeni esonweni. 

Kepha yini ihlazo? Kuwukuphila okumbaxa-mbili, ukuphila okumbaxa-mbili. Impilo ephindwe kabili: 'NgingumKatolika impela, ngiya njalo eMiseni, ngingowenhlangano nalowo; kodwa impilo yami ayisiyo yobuKrestu, angibakhokheli abasebenzi bami iholo elifanele, ngixhaphaza abantu, ngingcolile ebhizinisini lami, ngikhipha imali… 'Impilo ekabili. Futhi amaKristu amaningi anje, futhi laba bantu bahlazisa abanye. —UPOP FRANCIS, Homily, Februwari 23rd, 2017; I-Zenit.org

“Kodwa kuthiwani ngabakhipha izisu, labo abagqugquzela ukungaziphathi kahle nohlelo lokulwa nempilo? Kungani ungakhulumi nazo? ” Lona ngumbuzo abaningi abawubuze kaninginingi selokhu uFrancis ahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaPeter. Kepha uma siphila “ekugcineni times ”, njengoba opapa abaningi bephakamisile (kubandakanya noFrancis), ^[8]qhathanisa Kungani Abapapa Bengamemezi? khona-ke yazi ukuthi amazwi anokhahlo kaJesu ku-Apocalypse ayegcinwe okweBandla.

U-Amen, ufakazi othembekile noqinisile, umthombo wendalo kaNkulunkulu, usho lokhu: “Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho; Ngiyazi ukuthi awubandi futhi awushisi. Ngifisa sengathi ngabe uyabanda noma ushise. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuthi usivivi, awushisi futhi awubandi, ngizokukhafula uphume emlonyeni wami. Ngoba uthi, 'Nginothile futhi nginjingile futhi angisweli lutho,' kodwa ube ungazi ukuthi ungolusizi, nosizi, umpofu, uyimpumputhe, futhi uhamba-ze. Ngikweluleka ukuthi uthenge kimi igolide elicwengisiswe ngomlilo ukuze ucebe, nezingubo ezimhlophe zokugqoka ukuze ubunqunu bakho obuyihlazo bungadalulwa, futhi uthenge amafutha okugcoba emehlweni akho ukuze ubone. Labo engibathandayo ngiyabakhuza ngibakhuze. Qiniseka ngakho-ke uphenduke. (IsAm 3: 14-19)

… Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale nendlu kaNkulunkulu… 

Futhi lokho kufaka phakathi Konke indlu kaNkulunkulu, phezulu kuya phansi. 

 

UPETRA NOMA ISKANDALON?

Abaningi banomuzwa wokuthi uFrancis naye wenze "ukungcola" kweqhaza leSonto lokuhola njengendawo yokuvikela igagasi lokulunga kwezepolitiki, ukukholelwa enkolweni kanye "nesiko lokufa." Bakhomba izingxoxo zakhe eziphikisanayo lapho kungakhulumi kangako ngalokho okushiwoyo, kodwa kuyini kushiywe kungashiwongo—ukushiya izikhala ukuthi zigcwaliswe yimithombo yezindaba ethuthukayo kanye neminye imibono. Bayakungabaza ukusekela kwakhe le ndaba ekhulunywa ngokwezepolitiki "yokufudumala kwembulunga yonke", njengoba nedatha "yokufudumala" iqhubeka nokuvezwa njengombombayi. ^[9]qhathanisa Ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokuduka okukhulu Futhi bakhomba kumsindo ngokungaqondakali kokukhuthazwa kuka-Francis 'Apostolic Exhortation, U-Amoris Laetitia, okuholele ekutheni abanye ababhishobhi nokhadinali “bakuhumushe” ngokuqondile ukuphikiswa komunye nomunye, futhi kwezinye izimo, okuphambene nesiko elingcwele. Yebo, abathembekile abaningi basele benwaya amakhanda abo, bezibuza ukuthi kwenzakalani emhlabeni — kubandakanya nendoda ebhekele ukwengamela ukusetshenziswa okuyimfundiso kwemfundiso yeSonto.

… Akulungile ukuthi iningi lababhishobhi liyahumusha U-Amoris Laetitia ngokwendlela yabo yokuqonda imfundiso kaPapa. Lokhu akugcini kulayini wemfundiso yamaKatolika. —UKhadinali Gerhard Müller, uMongameli Webandla Lemfundiso Yokholo, ICatholic Herald, Febhruwari 1, 2017

Wengeza, umsebenzi wabapristi nababhishobhi, "akuwona owokudala ukudideka, kodwa owokuletha ukucaca." ^[10]Umbiko Womhlaba WamaKatolika, Febhruwari 1, 2017 Uma ababhishobhi baseMalta befundisa okuhlukile kunababhishobhi base-Alberta, ngokwesibonelo, ^[11]qhathanisa On the abahlukanisile futhi ushade kabusha lokhu kungukuqhekeka okukhulu ezindongeni lapho intuthu kaSathane ingangena khona.

Isibonelo, kwakukhona indoda eyayikhuluma kakhulu ku-Facebook ngonyaka odlule. Ungumlandeli omkhulu kaPapa Francis nomyalezo wakhe "wesisa". Bese kuthi, ngokuzumayo, wangena emshadweni womphakathi nenye indoda. Ngakho-ke, uma umyalezo wesisa uqondwa, kunalokho, njengomyalezo “wokuziphatha okuhle,” ngakho-ke kungumsebenzi wethu eSontweni ukumemezela izindaba ezinhle ngokucace kakhudlwana. Nezimfundiso zikaJesu kukhona Izindaba Ezinhle, ngoba “iqiniso liyokukhulula.” Njengoba uBusisiwe uPaul VI esho: 

Akukho ukushumayela kweqiniso uma igama, imfundiso, impilo, izethembiso, umbuso nemfihlakalo kaJesu waseNazaretha, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, akumenyezelwa. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandi,n. 22; v Vatican.va

 

UHLELO NOMA UKUSEBENZISA?

Ngeshwa, abanye bathathe izinto phambili, bethi uPapa useKahutz noMphikukristu, uVladimir Soloviev owake wachazwa njengomuntu "njengephikisti, isazi semvelo kanye nobumbano." ^[12]kunoveli yakhe Inganekwane Yomphikukristu; qhathanisa LifeSiteNews Bakhomba ukuthi uFrancis wayehlala e-Islam futhi waphika “ubuphekula bamaSulumane”; ^[13]qhathanisa www.sibilikabheku kuleso silwane se-eery "slide-

UDkt Jeff Mirus, hube-media.org

Futhi nokho, phakathi kwakho konke lokho, uPapa uye wahlala ethule kakhulu phakathi kwabagxeki bakhe — njengokungathi “isiphithiphithi” yiso kanye leso sici. Kepha-ke, ngokungazelelwe, amafu okudideka ahlangana nemiphini yokukhanya kanjena:

Ngizisholo ukuthi ngingumKristu futhi ukwedlula engizivula ngakubheka kukho kunegama: uJesu. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi iVangeli lakhe lingamandla okuvuselela ngokweqiniso komuntu siqu kanye nomphakathi. Uma ngikhuluma kanjena, angikuphakamisi imibono noma imibono yefilosofi noma yemibono, futhi angifisi ukuguqula abantu ... Ungesabi ukuvula amathuba akho omoya, futhi uma wamukela isipho sokholo - ngoba ukholo kuyisipho - ungesabi ukuvula amathuba okuhlangana noKristu nokujulisa ubudlelwano bakho Naye. —UPAPA FRANCIS, umyalezo oya kubafundi baseyunivesithi base-Italy eRome 'I-Roma Tre 'University; I-Zenit.org, Febhuwari 17, 2017

Noma kunjalo, lokhu akusho ukuthi uPapa Francis kungenzeka angabhekani nokudideka kwangempela okwenzekayo Ngaphakathi iSonto, futhi lokho kuzwakaliswa obala, ngokwesibonelo, kwifayela le- dubia okwethulwe muva ngokhadinali abane. ^[17]qhathanisa katholicism.org; “UKhadinali Burke: Ukulungiswa okusemthethweni kwe-Amoris Laetitia kungenzeka ngoNyaka Omusha”; bheka unokandabn.ro Kungase kufike umzuzu "kaPeter noPaul" ^[18]isib. Gal 2: 11-14 nasezikhathini zethu. Ngaleyo Pentekoste Peter, kusho uPapa Benedict… 

… Nguyena uPetru lowo, ngokwesaba amaJuda, owaphikisa inkululeko yakhe yobuKristu (KwabaseGalathiya 2 11-14); ngaso leso sikhathi uyidwala nesikhubekiso. Futhi akubanga njalo kuwo wonke umlando weSonto ukuthi uPapa, owalandela uPetru, ubekhona ngasikhathi sinye Petra futhi ISkandalon—kokubili idwala likaNkulunkulu nesikhubekiso? —UPOPE BENEDICT XIV, kusuka ku- I-Das neue Volk Gottes, ikhasi. 80ff

Iqiniso nothando akuhlukaniseki. Lapho kuphela eyodwa noma enye eyeka ukuba khona, lapho iLangabi lokholo liqala ukucima futhi. Imikhuba yokwalusa kufanele isuselwe eqinisweni, noma njengoba uFrancis ngokwakhe asho, kuyisilingo…

… Ekuthambekeleni kokulimaza kobuhle, okuthi egameni lomusa okhohlisayo kubopha amanxeba ngaphandle kokuqala ukuwalapha nokuwalapha; elapha izimpawu hhayi izimbangela nezimpande. Kuyisilingo "sabenza okuhle," sabantu abesabayo, kanye nalabo okuthiwa "abathuthukayo nabakhululekile." - Izinkulumo zesinodi, I-Catholic News Agency, Okthoba 18, 2014

 

BABHEKA ESIBONWENI

Kungabonakala sengathi ukwahlulelwa kwendlu kaNkulunkulu sekuqalile. Njengoba nje uJesu ashaqisa abaFarisi nababhali ngokungangeni ngakubo, kanjalo namaKhatholika amaningi abekade enza "izinto ezifanele" nawo angazizwa sengathi uPapa ubazibile noma ubakhuzile. Kepha khumbula amazwi kaJesu:

Labo abaphilile abadingi udokotela, kodwa abagulayo bayamdinga. Angizelanga ukubiza abalungileyo ukuthi baphenduke kodwa izoni. (Luka 5: 31-32)

Ngenkathi sithandazela uPapa nabo bonke abefundisi, leli yihora lokukhombisa kakhulu kithi siqu izinhliziyo, nokuthi sikhona yini ngempela ethembekile kuJesu. Ngabe ngike ngikhulume igama Lakhe obala? Ingabe ngilwela iqiniso noma ngithule ukuze “ngigcine ukuthula”? Ngabe ngikhuluma ngothando nezithembiso zaKhe, isihawu nokulunga Kwakhe? Ngabe ngikhonza labo abangizungezile ngomoya wenjabulo nangokuthula? Ngisondele kuJesu yini emthandazweni wansuku zonke kanye namaSakramente? Ingabe ngiyalalela ezintweni ezincane nezicashile?

Noma, ingabe ngikhona… sivivi? 

Ekupheleni kosuku, noma ngabe umuntu uthanda isikhundla sobupapa sikaPapa Francis noma cha, esikubonayo kulelihora ukuvela okucacile kokhula phakathi kukakolweni, kwalabo abalalela iVangeli nalabo abangalaleli . Futhi mhlawumbe lokhu kuyinjongo kaKristu sonke isikhathi. Kakade, nguJesu — hhayi uPhapha — owakha iBandla Lakhe. ^[19]qhathanisa UJesu, Umakhi Ohlakaniphile

Ngabe nicabanga ukuthi ngize ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni? Ngithi kini: Cha, kepha kakhulu ukwehlukana. (Luka 12:51)

Lokhu kwehlukana kuyadingeka ukuze umhlaba uhlanzeke nje… futhi yilapho engizolanda khona ngokuzayo.
