UMariya, uMama weSidlo Sombuthano, nguTommy Canning
Wayesengiholela esangweni elibheke empumalanga, ngabona lapho inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ivela empumalanga. Ngezwa umsindo onjengokubhonga kwamanzi amaningi, umhlaba wakhanya ngenkazimulo yakhe. (UHezekeli 43: 1-2)
UMARIYA usibizela eBastion, endaweni yokulungela nokulalela, kude neziphazamiso zomhlaba. Usilungiselela iMpi Enkulu yemiphefumulo.
Manje, ngimuzwa ethi,
Bheka eMpumalanga!
BHEKANA NEMPUMA
EMpumalanga yilapho kuphuma khona ilanga. Yilapho ukusa kuqala khona, kususa ubumnyama, futhi kusakazeka ubusuku bobubi. EMpumalanga futhi kuyisiqondiso lapho umpristi abhekene khona ngesikhathi seMisa, silindele ukubuya kukaKristu (Kufanele ngiqaphele, kuyisiqondiso umpristi abhekene naso kuyo yonke imicikilisho yeMisa lamaKatolika—ngaphandle the Novus Ordo, yize kungenzeka kulolo siko.) Enye yezincazelo ezingekho kahle zeVatican II kwakuwukuguqula umpristi abhekise kubantu weMisa lonke, ukuphazanyiswa kweminyaka engu-2000 yesiko. Kepha ekubuyiseleni ukusetshenziswa okujwayelekile kwe-Tridentine Mass (ngakho-ke kuqala ukubuyiselwa kwe Novus Ordo), UPapa Benedict uqalile ngokoqobo ukuguqula i- Konke Isonto libuyele ngaseMpumalanga… lilindele ukufika kukaKristu.
Lapho umpristi nabantu bebonke babhekana ngendlela efanayo, lokho esinakho kungumqondo wendawo yonke kanye nokuchazwa kwe-Ekaristi ngokuphathelene nokuvuka kanye nemfundiso yenkolo kaZiqu-zintathu. Ngakho-ke futhi kuyincazelo ngokwe parousia, imfundiso yethemba, lapho iMisa ngalinye liyindlela yokubuya kukaKristu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), Umkhosi Wokholo, ESan Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1986, amakhasi 140-41.)
Njengoba ngibhalile kwenye indawo, i I-Era Yokuthula kuzoqondana ne- ukubusa kweNhliziyo Engcwele kaJesu, okungukuthi, uMthendeleko. Ngalolo suku, akusayikuba yiSonto kuphela elithanda uJesu eSigrameni Esibusisiwe, kodwa ezizweni zonke. Kubaluleke kakhulu-ke ukuthi uBaba oNgcwele ujikisa iSonto laseMpumalanga ngalesi sikhathi. Kuyinto ucingo manje ukufuna uJesu ophakathi kwethu ngokulindela ukubusa kwakhe okuzayo.
Bheka eMpumalanga! Bheka kuMthendeleko!
IDWALE LE-EUCHARISTIC
Konke okungakhiwanga edwaleni kuzodilika. Futhi lelo Dwala yiSakramente elibusisiwe.
UMthendeleko “ungumthombo nengqungquthela yempilo yobuKristu.” Amanye amasakramente, nazo zonke izinkonzo zesonto nemisebenzi yobuphostoli, ahlobene noMthendeleko futhi aqondiswe kuwo. Ngoba kuMthendeleko obusisiwe kuqukethe konke ukulunga okungokomoya kweSonto, okungukuthi uKristu uqobo, iPhasika lethu.-Ikhathekizimu yeSonto LamaKatolika, n. 1324
Konke iSonto elikudingayo ngempilo yalo yokomoya, ukungcweliswa, nokukhula kwalo kutholakala kumaSakramente, lawo wonke athola impande yawo ku-Ekaristi.
Asikukholwa nje.
Ngakho-ke kule minyaka engama-40 edlule, besizulazula ehlane, sisuka kwesinye isithombe siye kwesinye, sifuna ukwelashwa nezimpendulo kuyo yonke indawo kepha eMthonjeni. Impela, siya eMiseni… bese sigijimela kumelaphi noma eqenjini “lokuphulukisa ngaphakathi” lokwelashwa! Sibheka kuDkt Phil no-Oprah kunokuba siye kuMeluleki Omangalisayo. Sisebenzisa imali emihlanganweni yokuzisiza esikhundleni sokuphendukela kuMsindisi, asethule ngomzimba wakhe nangegazi lakhe. Siya kwamanye amasonto ukuthola "isipiliyoni" kunokuhlala ezinyaweni zaKhe okuvela kuye yonke indalo.
Isizathu ukuthi lesi sizukulwane asinasineke. Sifuna ukuphulukiswa kwe- "Drive Thru". Sifuna izimpendulo ezisheshayo nezilula. Ngenkathi ama-Israyeli ehla enyuka ehlane, akha onkulunkulu. Asihlukile. Sifuna ukubona amandla kaNkulunkulu manje, futhi uma singakwenzi lokho, siphendukela kwezinye “izithixo”, ngisho ezibonakala “zingokomoya”. Kepha zizobhidlika manje, ngoba zakhiwe phezu kwesihlabathi.
Isixazululo uJesu! Isixazululo uJesu! Futhi Ulapha phakathi kwethu manje! Yena uqobo uzosinakekela. Yena uqobo uzosihola. Yena uqobo uzosondla… nangaye uqobo. Konke esake sakudinga kunikezwe ngohlangothi Lwakhe Esiphambanweni: amaSakramente, Amakhambi Amakhulu. Nguye izolo, namuhla, naphakade. Bheka eMpumalanga!
BUYELA EKULUNGENI
Isono kuyimpande yesifo sengqondo sanamuhla nesifo sengqondo. Ukuphenduka iyindlela eya enkululekweni. UJesu unikeze ikhambi: Ubhapathizo futhi Ukuqinisekiswa kwe ezisenza sibe yisidalwa esisha esingcwele futhi esingenasici ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele esihlala kuye, esihamba kuwo, futhi esinayo. Futhi uma sona, indlela yokubuyisela leso simo Ukuvuma.
Abanye bayasilimaza, lokho kuyiqiniso. Ngakho-ke uJesu usinikeze elinye ikhambi elihlobene nokuvuma izono: Intethelelo.
Yibani nesihe, njengoba noYihlo enesihe. Yeka ukwahlulela futhi ngeke wahlulelwe. Yeka ukulahla futhi ngeke ulahlwe. Thethelela uzothethelelwa. (Luka 6: 36-37)
Isono sinjengomcibisholo okhishwe ngobuthi. Intethelelo yikhona okukhipha ubuthi. Noma kunjalo kunesilonda, futhi uJesu wasinika ikhambi lalokho: the Umthendeleko. Kukithi ukuthi simvulele izinhliziyo zethu kuye ukwethemba futhi ukubekezela ukuze akwazi ukungena futhi enze ukuhlinzwa.
Niphulukisiwe ngamanxeba akhe. (1 Pt 2: 4)
Ngikholwa wukuthi usuku luyeza lapho lonke iSonto lizoba noMthendeleko. Sizokhunyulwa sibe yize ... lutho ngaphandle kwakhe.
IMINYAKA YOKUPHILA KWENKONZO IPHELA
Ngabona enhliziyweni yami isithombe selanga liphuma ekuseni. Izinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni zabonakala zinyamalala, kodwa empeleni azizange. Babesekhona lapho, baminza nje ngokukhanya kwelanga.
UMthendeleko iLanga, nezinkanyezi yizona zinto ezakha umzimba. Ama-charism akhanyisa indlela, kepha ahlala eholela ngasekuzeni kokusa. Izinsuku ziyeza futhi sezivele sezikhona lapho iziphiwo zikaMoya oNgcwele zizohlanzwa ziphinde zi-odwe kabusha ku-Eucharist. Nakho lokhu ngizwa uMama wethu Obusisiwe esho. Ikholi eya kuBastion yikholi lokuthi sibeke phansi izipho zethu phambi kweNdlovukazi yethu ukuze ihlanzwe futhi iqiniswe ukuze izosetshenziswa kulesi sigaba esisha seMpi, ngokohlelo lwayo. Futhi icebo lakhe isu lakhe: ukubizela umhlaba ekuguqulweni—Kuye uqobo kuMthendeleko—ngaphambi kokuba ihlanzwe…
Bheka ngenza okusha. Manje iyahluma, aniyiboni yini? Ogwadule ngenza indlela, ogwadule, imifula. (Isaya 43:19)
UMSEBENZI OGIBELE Ihhashi Elimhlophe
KuSambulo 5: 6, lowo ofanele uku vula iziMpawu Zokwahlulela nguJesu, ochazwa nguSt John njenge…
… IWundlu ebonakala sengathi lihlatshwe.
NguJesu, Umhlatshelo wePhasika -iWundlu ebonakala sengathi lihlatshwe—Okusho ukuthi, Wabulawa kodwa akazange anqotshwe ukufa. Nguye ozohola iMpi Enkulu emhlabeni. Ngikholwa ukuthi uzoziveza kithina ngokubonakaliswa kobukhona bakhe ku-Eucharist. Kuzoba yi isixwayiso… Nokuqala kokuphela kwalesi sikhathi.
Bheka eMpumalanga, kusho uMama wethu, ngoba uMgibeli weHhashi Elimhlophe uyasondela.
