Imibhalo yenkolo lapha

KUKHULU zesikhathi, lapho sifakaza ngoKristu, sizobhekana nakho thanda okungathandeki. Ngalokhu ngisho ukuthi thina konke sibe “nezikhathi” zethu, lapho singathandeki neze. Lowo ngumhlaba lapho iNkosi yethu yangena khona kanye naleyo uJesu asithumela kuyo manje.

Ekufundeni kokuqala kwanamuhla, uSt. John usitshela ukuthi kufanele siphendule kanjani lapho sibona umzalwane enza isono, ukuthi “uma isono singekho esibulalayo"...

… Kufanele athandaze kuNkulunkulu amnike impilo.

Ukuthandazela umuntu engicasulwe yinyathelo elihle eliya phambili othandweni, nesenzo sokushumayela ivangeli. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 101

Akuwona umsebenzi wamaKrestu ukuthi abe ngumahluleli namajaji phezu kwawo wonke amaphutha nezinyathelo ezingezinhle zomakhelwane bethu. Kunalokho, kusho uSt. Paul, “thwalisanani imithwalo yenu. " ^[1]IGal 6: 2 Umthwalo oyinhloko okudingeka siwuthwale ubuthakathaka bomfowethu.

Manje sengiyabona ukuthi isisa senhliziyo seqiniso sithwala amaphutha alabo abasizungezile, singalokothi simangazwe ubuthakathaka babo, kodwa sakha okungenani isibonakaliso sobuhle. —USt. I-Thérèse de Liseux, Umlando Omkhulu Wosanta, Ch. 9; kucashunwe ku- I-Navarre Bible, “AmaVangeli Nezenzo”, ikhasi 79

Ngingakwenza kanjani ungamangali lapho ngibona umfowethu noma udadewethu ezikhohlisa futhi ezithanda kangaka? Ikhambi lihlala likhumbula amaphutha ami nokuthambekela kwami ​​kokuhluleka ukuthanda uNkulunkulu nomakhelwane nsuku zonke. Ngaso sonke isikhathi kukhona ugodo esweni lami. Kepha ngidinga futhi ukukhumbula ukuthi uJesu ube nomusa kangakanani kimi ukuze ngibonise isihe sakhe kwabanye.

Ukuthwala imithwalo yomunye akufani, nokho, njengokumthwala kanzima. Impendulo yanamuhla yamaHubo ithi,

INkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo.

uNkulunkulu Uthanda ngaphezu kobuso ngoba Ubona ubuhle, i isithombe lapho senziwe khona. Ukuze sithande okungathandeki, kufanele sidlule kokucasulwa, sidlule amanxeba abantu, futhi sibathande ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubathanda kanjani. Kufunda '“ubuciko bokuhambisana” okusifundisa ukususa izimbadada zethu ngaphambi komhlabathi ongcwele wenye. ”' ^[2]U-Evangelii Gaudium,n. 169 Lapho siqala ukubona abanye "njengendawo engcwele," asikakulungeli ukwahlulela. Eqinisweni, sizoqala ukuzijabulela.

I-Mission ngasikhathi sinye intshisekelo ngoJesu nentshisekelo ngabantu bakhe. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 268

Imvamisa ngizozama ukucabanga ngomuntu ngenkathi esewusana, ukuthi wayengenacala, engenabungozi futhi eyigugu kangakanani. Lowo-ke “ngumgogodla” obonwa uNkulunkulu nokuthi uJesu wafa ukuze abuyiselwe. Konke ngemuva kwalokho kuyimvelo ewile.

Lapho ubona inyoni enophiko oluphukile igxuma izule emhlabathini, awukaze uzitshele ukuthi, “Kungani le nyoni izama ukuba yisikwele?” Esikhundleni salokho, uyabona ukuthi iyalimala futhi isebenza "ngaphandle" kwamanxeba ayo. Kanjalo futhi, abantu bavame ukuba yimikhiqizo yokulimala kwabo, befuna ukundiza “ngamaphiko okhozi,” kepha baphulwe ukwedlula kwabo, izono zabo, ukwehluleka nokulimala kwabanye. Kungakho uJesu esho ungahluleli, kodwa yiba nomusa. Sidinga ukuhamba nabo, sibasize ukuba belaphe, bakhule, futhi baphinde bandize ngokubheka amandla abo ngokomoya futhi bajabulele “uphawu oluncane lokuhle.”

UJesu usikhombisa ukuthi singabathanda kanjani abangathandeki lapho evumela uTomas ongabazayo ukuthi amthinte amanxeba. Akufanele sithinte kuphela amanxeba abanye, kepha mabathinte ezethu. Vumela abanye babone ubuthakathaka bakho; bazise nawe ukuthi uyalwa; mababeke iminwe yabo ohlangothini lwakho, leyo ndawo lapho uJesu elaphe khona umphefumulo wakho. Ngikhumbula umngane wami ongcwele engitshela kanye ukuthi akadli i-dessert. "Ngani?", Ngibuze. “Ngoba uma ngiqala ukudla ucezu lukaphayi, ngidinga ukuyidla yonke le nto!” Kwangimangaza ukuthembeka kwakhe. Ngenkathi amanye amaKristu efuna ukuhlaba umxhwele ngokupholisha ama-halos awo phambi kwabanye, okuvula imiphefumulo eNkosini ngempela lapho bebona ukwenza izinto obala nokuthinta ukuthobeka kwangempela.

UJohn the Baptist uthi eVangelini:

Kumele akhule, nami ngehle.

Noma nini lapho sincipha, sivulela abanye amanxeba, singababoni nje kuphela ukuthi uKristu uselaphe kanjani kodwa nokuthi unjani namanje ukuselapha, bayakwazi thinta ithemba ngaphakathi kwethu. Lokhu-ke kuvula izinhliziyo zabo ezilimele ukuze sisebenzise umuthi wokuphulukisa wothando lukaKristu olunesihe ngegama, umBhalo, njll. Ngokusobala, lokhu kusho ukuthi sizimisele ukulalela, ukuzwelana nokuhamba nemiphefumulo.

Umphakathi ovangela ivoti uhileleka ngamazwi nangezenzo ezimpilweni zabantu zansuku zonke; ibopha amabanga, izimisele ukuzithoba uma kunesidingo, futhi ifaka impilo yomuntu, ithinte inyama kaKristu ehluphekayo kwabanye. Abavangeli ngaleyo ndlela bathatha "iphunga lezimvu" futhi izimvu zizimisele ukuzwa izwi lazo. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 24

Imvamisa, ongathandeki uzizwa kanjalo ngenxa ye- isizungu—ukhohliwe, unganakwa, unganakwa ezweni elisheshayo, elingenabuntu. UMary Magdalene weza ethuneni, elangazelela Lowo owamnika injongo, incazelo nothando. Lapho ebona uJesu, wambiza Igama. Kwakungu ukuthi umzuzwana, waMazi. Kufanele siyeke ukuphatha abantu njengomunye umuntu odlulayo ongaziwa. Sidinga ukwazisa wonke umuntu oza phambi kwethu ngokumomotheka kwethu nokutholakala kwethu, ngokungenisa izihambi ezingcwele.

Kufanele sizijwayeze ubuciko bokulalela, okungaphezu kokuzwa nje. Ukulalela, ekukhulumisaneni, kungukuvuleleka kwenhliziyo okwenza ukuthi ukusondelana okungenzeki ngaphandle kokuhlangana kwangempela komoya. Ukulalela kusisiza ukuthi sithole isenzo esifanele negama elibonisa ukuthi singaphezu nje kokubukela nje. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 171

UCatherine Doherty wake wathi “singalalela umphefumulo ube khona.” Futhi imiphefumulo inegama, elilotshwe entendeni yesandla sikaNkulunkulu. Uma silalela omunye, lapho sinciphisa izwi lethu, bangakwazi ukuzwa izwi likaBaba ebabiza ngegama ethi, “Uyathandwa. "

Yonke imiphefumulo yehlukile, sonke isimo sidinga ukuqonda okusha nokuzwela. Kwesinye isikhathi imiphefumulo idinga "uthando olunzima," njengabaFarisi. Kepha imvamisa, abantu badinga nje unesihe uthando. Uma kufanele sithande abangathandeki, kufanele sithathe isikhathi sokuba khona kubo, sibayeke bahogele iphunga likaKristu elivela ebuhlotsheni bethu noJesu, athwele kulo yethu imithwalo, ethintiwe yethu amanxeba, futhi walalela yethu imiphefumulo khona.

Ngaphezu kwakho konke, khumbula ukuthi kungumusa. Sithanda kuphela ngothando esinikezwe lona ngokukhululekile. Futhi nguMoya oNgcwele ogwebayo, uMoya oNgcwele kuphela ongavula inhliziyo yomunye futhi abalethe ekuphendukeni. Kepha, siyisitsha esikhethwe uNkulunkulu somusa Wakhe, futhi ukunqoba okunqoba okungathandeki kungokwethu ukholo…

Futhi imiphumela siyishiya kuNkulunkulu.
