UMdali uyehlisile hhayi ngokusindisa umuntu kuphela, kodwa nokumthanda, nokumthanda ngokusondelene. UJesu waba njengathi wabe esenikela ngempilo yakhe ngothando ngathi. Eqinisweni, omile ngothando lwakho nolwami. ^[1]isib. Johane 4: 7; 19:28

UJesu womile; ukucela kwakhe kuvela ekujuleni kwesifiso sikaNkulunkulu ngathi… uNkulunkulu womele ukuthi simmelele. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2560

Kuyiqiniso elihle… kepha iningi lamaKhatholika alilahlekile, imvamisa ngoba uJesu akakaze aboniswe kubo njengomuntu ongqongqoza ezinhliziyweni zabo, ofuna ukumenywa.

Ukuba nobudlelwano obujulile nobunothando noZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele oguqula zonke izici zempilo yakho, izinhloso, nenjongo.

Kwesinye isikhathi ngisho namaKhatholika alahlekelwe noma angakaze abe nethuba lokuzwa uKristu uqobo: hhayi uKristu 'njengepharadayim' nje noma 'inani', kepha njengeNkosi ephilayo, 'indlela, neqiniso, nokuphila'. —UPOPA JOHN PAUL II, L'Osservatore Romano (English Edition of the Vatican Newspaper), Mashi 24, 1993, ikhasi 3.

UKWAZI NGOMUNTU UJESU

Zibuze: Ngabe ngikhuluma nabanye kuphela ngezinkolelo zenkolo yamaKatolika, noma ngabe ngikhuluma ngoJesu? Ngabe ngikhuluma ngoNkulunkulu ongaphandle lapho, noma ngomngane, umfowethu, a umthandi ngubani olapha, Emmanuel, uNkulunkulu-nathi? Ngabe izinsuku zami zigxile kuJesu futhi ngifuna uMbuso wakhe kuqala, noma mina futhi ngifune kuqala umbuso wami? Izimpendulo zingase ziveze ukuthi uyamvumela yini uJesu abuse enhliziyweni yakho noma mhlawumbe umgcine ebangeni; noma ngabe wazi kuphela mayelana UJesu, noma empeleni ukwazi Yena.

Kuyadingeka ukungena ebuhlotsheni bangempela noJesu ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu naye hhayi ukwazi ukuthi uJesu uvela kwabanye kuphela noma ezincwadini, kepha ukuze siphile ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu obujule kakhulu noJesu, lapho singaqala khona ukuqonda ukuthi uyini ukucela kithi… Ukwazi uNkulunkulu akwanele. Ukuze uthole ukuhlangana kwangempela naye umuntu kufanele futhi amthande. Ulwazi kumele lube uthando. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukuhlangana nentsha yaseRome, Ephreli 6, 2006; v Vatican.va

Kwesinye sezithombe eziningi ezinhle zale ndaba yothando futhi yileso esitholakala kusAmbulo lapho uJesu athi:

Bheka, ngimi ngasemnyango ngiyangqongqoza; Uma umuntu ezwa izwi lami, avule umnyango, ngiyakungena endlini yakhe, ngidle naye, naye adle nami. (IsAm 3:20)

Iqiniso ukuthi uJesu uvame ukusala bemi ngaphandle komnyango wamaKatolika amaningi abakade beya eMiseni njalo ngeSonto ezimpilweni zabo zonke! Futhi, mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi abakaze bamenywe ukuthi bavule izinhliziyo zabo, noma batshelwe ukuthi bazivula kanjani izinhliziyo zabo nokuthi yini ehilelekile ekwakheni ubuhlobo neNkosi. Iqala, empeleni, ngokungqongqoza Akhe umnyango.

Umuntu kufanele aqale ngokuthandaza futhi akhulume neNkosi athi: "Ngivulele umnyango." Futhi lokho uSt Augustine avame ukukusho emindenini yakhe: “Ngangqongqoza emnyango weZwi ukuze ngithole ekugcineni ukuthi iNkosi ifuna ukuthini kimi.” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukuhlangana nentsha yaseRome, Ephreli 6, 2006; v Vatican.va

UJesu ulindele ukweqa umkhawulo wokukholwa ungene enhliziyweni yakho, ngenkathi ekumema ukuthi weqe umkhawulo wokwesaba ungene kuYe. Ungesabi ukuthi uJesu uzokwenzani futhi azokwenzani empilweni yakho! Kukaningi ngitshela abantu abasha ukuthi sengishumayele iVangeli ezikoleni: “UJesu akazelanga ukuzothatha ubuntu bakho — Weza ukuzosusa izono zakho eziqeda wena ngempela zikhona. ”

Umuntu, uqobo lwakhe owadalwa “ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu” [ubizelwe] ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu…-Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 299

Ngenkathi eba nguPapa, uBenedict XVI enkulumweni yakhe yokuqala wathi ngamunye wethu "ungumcabango kaNkulunkulu," ukuthi asibona “imikhiqizo engenamqondo futhi engenamqondo yokuziphendukela kwemvelo” kodwa kunalokho “ngamunye wethu uthanda, sithandwa. ” UNkulunkulu ulinde nje ukuthi ngamunye wethu anikeze "yebo" kuye. Ngokuthi “yebo” wakhe ngenxa yethu kwase kukhulunyiwe ngeSiphambano.

Lapho ungibiza, futhi uzokhuleka kimi, ngizokulalela. Uma ungifuna, uzongithola. Yebo, lapho ungifuna ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, ngiyakukuvumela ukuba ungithole… (Jeremiya 29: 12-13)

Futhi,

Sondelani kuNkulunkulu, naye uyosondela kini. (Jakobe 4: 8)

Ukusondela kuNkulunkulu, ongcwele, kusho ukuhoxa esonweni, nakho konke okungcwele. Kepha lapha kulapho abaningi besaba khona, bekholelwa emangeni okuthi ubuhlobo bomuntu noJesu buzosusa “ubumnandi” bempilo.

Akukho okuhle ngaphezu kokumangala ngeVangeli, ngokuhlangana noKristu. Ayikho into enhle njengokumazi nokukhuluma nabanye ngobungane bethu naye. Uma sivumela uKristu angene ngokugcwele ezimpilweni zethu, uma sizivulela ngokuphelele kuye, asesabi yini ukuthi angase asiphuce okuthile? Ngabe mhlawumbe asesabi ukudela okuthile okuphawulekayo, okuthile okuhlukile, okuthile okwenza impilo ibe yinhle kangaka? Ngabe-ke asizibeki engcupheni yokuncipha futhi sincishwe inkululeko yethu? Cha! Uma sivumela uKristu ezimpilweni zethu, asilahlekelwa yilutho, akukho lutho, akukho lutho lwalokho okwenza impilo ibe mahhala, yinhle futhi inkulu. Cha!… Kungobungane kuphela lapho okuvezwa khona amandla amakhulu okuphila komuntu. Kulobu bungani kuphela lapho sithola khona ubuhle nenkululeko. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eSt. Peter's Square, Emcimbini Wokugcotshwa Homily, Ephreli 24, 2005; v Vatican.va

OFAKAZI BEQINISO

Ngakho-ke, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, ngaphambi kokuba sikhulume ngokuqhubekayo ngezimfundiso noma izindlela zokwalusa nakho konke ebesikhuluma ngakho kusukela eSinodi eRome, kufanele siqiniseke ukuthi sinokubalulekile endaweni: ubuhlobo neNkosi. Futhi iCatechism ifundisa:

… Umkhuleko is ubudlelwano obuphilayo bezingane zikaNkulunkulu noYise wazo… -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2565

Ukubuyela kulokho engikushilo ekuqaleni, kuyinto eyodwa ukuba nolwazi ngisho nokuthanda isihloko esithile, kepha ubuKrestu buhlukile. Akukwazi mayelana UJesu, kodwa ukwazi UJesu, oza ngempilo yesakramente nempilo yokuthandaza kanye nobungane neNkosi. Ukuba ngufakazi kaKristu akusikho okwezindlela namasu ahlakaniphile, kepha ukuvumela amandla nokuphila kukaMoya kuthulule ebuhlotsheni bakho noJesu 'njengemifula yamanzi aphilayo.' ^[2]isib. Johane 7:38 Ngoba yilokho okwenzekayo uma uthandana noThando.

Akunakwenzeka ngathi ukuthi singakhulumi ngalokhu esikubonile nesikuzwile. (IzEnzo 4:20)

Cha, ngeke sisindiswe ngefomula kepha sizosindiswa nguMuntu, kanye nesiqinisekiso asinika sona: Nginawe! -ONGCWELE UJOHN PAUL II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, hhayi. 29

Kwangathi ukukholwa kwamaKhatholika kungalokothi kube uhlu oluyinyumba lokufanele ukwenze nokungafanele ukwenze, isiko lokugcina kunokuphila okufanele kuphilwe kukho.

Izazi zemfundiso yenkolo ezinkulu zizamile ukuchaza imibono ebalulekile eyakha ubuKrestu. Kepha ekugcineni, ubuKrestu ababakhayo abuzange bukholise, ngoba ubuKrestu kwasekuqaleni buwuMcimbi, uMuntu. Futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuMuntu sithola ukunotha kokuqukethwe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, e-Ibid.

UJesu ushaya inhliziyo yakho neyami, eletha ingcebo yedili lasezulwini.

Ingabe simngenisile manje?
