Kamuva nje, othile wabhala ebuza izeluleko zokuthi benzeni ezimweni nabantu abenqaba ukukholwa:
Ngiyazi ukuthi sizokhonza futhi sisize imindeni yethu kuKristu, kepha lapho abantu bengitshela ukuthi abasayi eMiseni noma balizonde iSonto… ngishaqekile, ingqondo yami iba yize! Ngincenga uMoya oNgcwele ukuba uze phezu kwami… kodwa angamukeli lutho… anginawo amazwi enduduzo noma okushumayela ivangeli. —GS
Singaphendula kanjani njengamaKatolika kwabangakholwa? Kubangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu? Kuma-fundamentalists? Kulabo abasiphazamisayo? Kubantu abaphila esonweni esifayo, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwemindeni yethu? Le yimibuzo engibuzwa kaningi. Impendulo yakho konke lokhu uku uthando olungaphezu kobuso.
UPapa Francis usanda kubhala:
Uma kufanele sabelane ngempilo yethu nabanye futhi sizinikele ngokukhululekile, futhi kufanele sazi ukuthi wonke umuntu ukufanele ukunikela kwethu. Hhayi ngokubukeka kwabo, amakhono abo, ulimi lwabo, indlela abacabanga ngayo, noma kwanoma ikuphi ukwaneliseka esingakuthola, kepha kunalokho ngoba kungumsebenzi wezandla zikaNkulunkulu, indalo yakhe. UNkulunkulu wadala lowo muntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, futhi ubonakalisa okuthile kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Wonke umuntu uyinto kaNkulunkulu yesisa esingenamkhawulo, futhi yena uqobo ukhona ezimpilweni zabo. UJesu wanikela ngegazi lakhe eliyigugu esiphambanweni ngenxa yalowo muntu. Kuvela nokho, wonke umuntu ungcwele kakhulu futhi ufanelwe uthando lwethu. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 274
Ungase ubuze, "Kodwa kanjani umuntu ophila esonweni" engcwele "? Ufanele kanjani uthando lwethu umgulukudu, umbulali, umuntu othwebula izithombe zobulili ezingcolile, noma umuntu owenza amanyala? ” Impendulo ukubheka ngale kobuso, ngaphesheya komkhuhlane wesono nobuthakathaka obuhlanekezela futhi obufihla isithombe lapho umuntu ngamunye kudaliwe. Ngenkathi uMama Obusisiwe uTeresa ekhetha imiphefumulo ekhuluphele ngokoqobo emiseleni yendle yaseCalcutta, akazange abangcolise ukuthi bangamaKatolika, amaHindu, noma amaSulumane. Akazange abuze ukuthi bayaya ngokwethembeka yini iMisa, baya ocansini ngaphambi komshado, basebenzise izinto zokuvimbela inzalo, noma bafundiselwa emakhaya. Uvele wathanda ngaphezu kwesimo sabo, inkolo yabo, "ubunikazi babo," njalonjalo.
INkosi ayiguquli abantu; Unika uthando. Futhi lolu thando lukufuna futhi lulinde wena, okwamanje ongakholwa noma ukude. Futhi lolu uthando lukaNkulunkulu. —UPAPA FRANCIS, u-Angelus, eSt. Peter's Square, ngoJanuwari 6, 2014; Izindaba ZamaKatolika Ezizimele
Ungangena egumbini lesibhedlela futhi ube nguKristu kumuntu wobungqingili obulawa yingculazi owachitha impilo yakhe elele namanye amadoda? Uyabona, yilokhu okushiwo uSt. John ekufundweni kokuqala namuhla:
Lowo ongenalo uthando akamazi uNkulunkulu, ngokuba uNkulunkulu uluthando.
Futhi uyakucacisa ukuthi yini uhlobo yothando kulapho ethi:
Uthando lukulokhu, kungesikho ukuthi thina samthanda uNkulunkulu, kepha ukuthi yena wasithanda.
UJesu akazange alinde ukuza emhlabeni size sibe ngcwele. Akazange angene ngesikhathi lapho wonke umuntu eqhutshwa futhi engcwele. Waba ngomunye wethu lapho okungenani lufanelwe uthando lwaKhe. Futhi Wenzani na? Wadla endlini yesoni, welula isandla kumqwayizi, waxoxa nomthelisi. Yebo, siyakwazi lokhu… ngakho-ke kungani siba luhlaza uma isoni, isifebe nomthelisi sima yethu umnyango? Kufanele sithande ngaphezu kobuso, okuyilokho uJesu akwenza. Lokho Akubona emehlweni kaZakewu, kaMary Magdalene, nakuMathewu kwakuyi isithombe abadalwa ngaso. Lowo mfanekiso, yize uhlanekezelwe yisono, awuzange wehlise isithunzi sabo semvelo, isithunzi esingcwele, esesabekayo futhi esingaqhathaniseki endalweni.
Nginokuqiniseka okuqinile: uNkulunkulu ukhona empilweni yomuntu ngamunye. UNkulunkulu usempilweni yawo wonke umuntu. Noma ngabe impilo yomuntu ibe yinhlekelele, noma ngabe icekelwa phansi yimikhuba emibi, izidakamizwa noma yini enye — uNkulunkulu usempilweni yalo muntu. Ungakwazi, kufanele uzame ukufuna uNkulunkulu kuyo yonke impilo yomuntu. Yize impilo yomuntu iyizwe eligcwele ameva nokhula, kuhlale kunesikhala lapho imbewu enhle ingakhula khona. Kufanele uthembele kuNkulunkulu. -POPE FRANCIS, Ingxoxo, americamagazine.org, September, 2013
Ngakho lapho uMhubi ethi, “Uyakuvikela ohluphekayo phakathi kwabantu, asindise abantwana babahlupheki, ”Kusho lokhu: UJesu uza ezovikela isithunzi somuntu ngamunye (futhi-ke, ukuvikela komphefumulo okuphezulu kakhulu ukuthola insindiso. Ngakho-ke, ubizo esonweni kuyisisekelo sothando. Kepha "isimemezelo sokuqala" ubukhona bethu nezenzo zethu kufanele kudluliselwe komunye ukuthi bayathandwa. Bese kuthi uPapa Francis, "Kungalesi siphakamiso ukuthi imiphumela yokuziphatha ngaleso sikhathi igeleze…" [1]americamagazine.org, Septhemba 2013 ) Ngakho-ke uma ume phambi komuntu ophikisana naye, okhathazekile, ovukelayo, omubi, othukuthele, olimazayo, onesizungu, olahlekile… yibo abahluphekayo nabampofu abadinga uthando lukaKristu. Badinga ukwamukelwa, njengoba kunjalo, kulowo mzuzu, ngothando olungenamibandela. Kanjani? Nikeza isinxibi uhlamvu lwemali. Lalela izimpikiswano zomuntu ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ngokubekezela. Yandisa umoya wokungenisa izihambi kulowo ohamba ze, olambile, nasemajele esono.
Abefundisi beVangeli kumele kube ngabantu abakwazi ukufudumeza izinhliziyo zabantu, abahamba nabo ebumnyameni obumnyama nabo, abakwaziyo ukuxoxisana nokuzithoba ebusuku babantu babo, bangene ebumnyameni, kodwa bangalahleki. —I-POPE FRANCIS, americamagazine.org, Septhemba 2013
Njengoba uJesu esho kwiVangeli lanamuhla lapho abaPhostoli bemtshela ukuthi izinkulungwane zilambile:
Banike ukudla ngokwenu.
"Kodwa banikeze ini?", Kubuza abaPhostoli-umbuzo ofanayo nalowo ofundwe ngenhla. Ngokuphawulekayo, uJesu wondla abantu ngalokho they wamnika: izinkwa eziyisihlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili. Kanjalo futhi, lapho ukunye nabanye, ungakhathazeki kangako ngokuthi basekhasini elilodwa nawe njengoba nawe usekhasini elilodwa nabo. Lokho wukuthi, khomba ukulimala kwabo; lalela usizi lwabo; qonda ulaka lwabo. Yazi ukuthi lokhu okuzwayo nokubonayo imvamisa kuyisifihla senhliziyo esilimele okusitha ingane kaNkulunkulu ngaphakathi. Thatha abakunikeza khona okwamanje: izinkwa ezinhlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili zokuhlupheka kwabo ngokomoya nangokwenyama, nangothando lwakho nokuncenga, ukwethule eNkosini. Yena-ke, ngesikhathi Sakhe, uzokwandisa isenzo sakho sothando ngendlela yakhe.
Singaqiniseka ukuthi akukho neyodwa yezenzo zethu zothando ezolahleka, noma yiziphi izenzo zethu zokubakhathalela ngobuqotho abanye. Asikho isenzo esisodwa sothando ngoNkulunkulu esizolahleka, akukho mzamo ophanayo ongasho lutho, akukho ukukhuthazela okubuhlungu okuchithekayo… Kungenzeka ukuthi iNkosi isebenzisa ukuzidela kwethu ukuthululela izibusiso kwenye ingxenye yomhlaba esingasoze sayivakashela. UMoya oNgcwele usebenza ngokuthanda kwakhe, lapho ethanda nalapho ethanda khona; siyazithembisa ngaphandle kokwenza sengathi sizobona imiphumela yesiteleka. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 279
Lapho abantu bebona ukuthi bayathandwa, izindonga ziqala ukuwa — mhlawumbe hhayi ngokushesha; mhlawumbe ungalokothi ube khona kwakho… Kepha alukho uthando olulahlwayo noma olulahleka ngoba “UNkulunkulu uluthando. ” Futhi uma senziwe ngomfanekiso wothando, khona-ke ngaphansi kobuso bezinhliziyo zethu ezilimele, kulapho kukhona uNkulunkulu. Nguye okumele simbone futhi simthande komunye, ikakhulukazi "omncane wabafowethu".
