NGAPHAMBILI IMisa namuhla, amagama eza kimi ngamandla:

Ningesabi, bapristi bami abasha; Ngikubeke endaweni, njengembewu ehlakazekile phakathi kwenhlabathi evundile. Ungesabi ukushumayela iGama Lami! Ungesabi ukukhuluma iqiniso ngothando. Ungesabi uma iZwi Lami, ngawe, lidala ukuthi kuhlungwe umhlambi wakho…

Ngenkathi ngihlanganyela le micabango ngiphuza ikhofi nompristi onesibindi wase-Afrika namhlanje ekuseni, wanqekuzisa ikhanda lakhe. "Yebo, thina bapristi sihlala sifuna ukujabulisa wonke umuntu kunokuba sishumayele iqiniso… sibayekile abakholwa bathembekile."

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi, njengomfundisi — noma umvangeli uqobo lwami uqobo — sifuna ukunxenxa abantu abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Futhi uSt. Peter usitshela ukuthi:

… Kwenze ngobumnene nangenhlonipho, ugcine unembeza wakho umsulwa, ukuze kuthi, lapho kuhlanjalazwa wena, labo abangcolisa ukuziphatha kwakho okuhle kuKristu nabo babe namahloni. (1 Pet. 3:16)

Ngakho-ke noma kungamazwi ethu, noma ngobufakazi bethu buthule, sihlwanyela imbewu engaphezu kwemvelo ezinhliziyweni zalabo abasigxekayo. Khumbula, kwakungeyona inkonzo kaKristu kepha uPhawu Lwakhe olwaguqula i-Centurion.

Kepha okuguquke kancane kancane emashumini ambalwa eminyaka edlule ukuchelela phansi iVangeli, ukuguqulwa kwezimfundiso zokuziphatha zeSonto, nokusitheka kwento yonke isizathu sokuba kobukhona beSonto:

… Ukudluliswa kokholo lobuKrestu kuyinjongo yokuvangela okusha kanye nawo wonke umsebenzi wevangeli weSonto, okhona ngenxa yalesi sizathu. Ngaphezu kwalokho inkulumo ethi "ukushunyayelwa okusha" ikhanyisa ukuqwashisa okucacile ukuthi amazwe anesiko lasendulo lobuKristu nawo adinga isimemezelo esivuselelwe seVangeli ukuze awaholele ekuhlanganyeleni noKristu okuguqula impilo ngempela futhi okungekho okweqile, okuphawulwe ngomkhuba . —UPOPA FRANCIS, Ekhuluma Nomkhandlu Ojwayelekile we-13 kaNobhala Jikelele weSinodi Yababhishobhi, ngoJuni 13, 2013; i-vatican.va

Kodwa lokhu kuvangela okusha eNtshonalanga kuphazanyiswe ukulungiswa kwezepolitiki okuvame ukwenza ipulpiti lingenamandla, intshumayelo iyinyumba.

Umpristi, ngaphezu kwanoma ngubani omunye eSontweni, uhlelwe kuJesu Kristu ngokugcotshwa. Akekho omunye umuntu, ngakho-ke, okufanele amiswe ngokwengeziwe enkonzweni Yakhe. Cabanga ukuthi ukushumayela kukaJesu, yize kwaqala ukuheha izinkulungwane, kungekudala kwaba yisigcwagcwa emhlambini wakhe kangangokuba ekugcineni, ngabantu abathathu kuphela ababemi Naye ngaphansi kweSiphambano. Sengathi ngingawaphinda ngesibindi la mazwi angenhla kubapristi bakaKristu abathandekayo: ungesabi ukulahlekelwa amalungu omhlambi wakho ngoba ushumayela iVangeli elingaxutshiwe, ngoba uJesu akazelanga ukuletha ukuthula, kepha inkemba — leyo iZwi likaNkulunkulu eliphilayo! ^[1]isib. Heb 4: 12 UKristu ukubeke ukuba wondle futhi wondle amawundlu akhe ukuze nawo anikeze "uboya" bezimpilo zawo ukufudumeza izinhliziyo zalabo abasendaweni yemakethe abasala emakhazeni. Kepha uma iqiniso elisikhululayo linganakwa, futhi imicimbi emnandi ithatha indawo yalo, izimvu azondliwe kepha zikhuluphele ukuze zihlatshwe — zidliwe ngumoya wezwe nomlingi, ngoba bezingagqokile ngokwanele izikhali zikaNkulunkulu. ^[2]isib. Efe 6: 13-17

Umpristi ubizelwa ukudela impilo yakhe ngenxa yomhlambi wakhe. Ukuzivikela kungukuphikisana nobupristi obungcwele. Ukwethembeka kuJesu kanye neVangeli lakhe kungasho ukubhekana nomkhandlu wesonto onobutha, amakholwa athukuthele, futhi kokunye, aze akhuze nombhishobhi wakhe uqobo lapho, naye, eyekethise ngomoya wobuzwe. Kepha bapristi abathandekayo: musani ukuvumela isilingo sokwahlulela inkonzo yenu ngokuthi nithandwa kangakanani. Mhlawumbe ubizo lwakho lonke ngalesi sikhathi kufanele lube wenqatshelwe njengoba kwaba Master wakho. UKristu ukubiza ukuthi uthembeke, ungaphumeleli (futhi ungikhumbuze kangaki ngalokhu!) Ngokubala konke, uKristu wabonakala ehlulekile ngokuphelele ngenkathi elenga enqunu esiphambanweni. Kepha yeka isivuno “ukwehluleka” Kwakhe okulethe umhlaba…

Ungesabi ukunikela ngempilo yakho ngenxa yomhlambi. Mhlawumbe “ukushunyayelwa kwevangeli okusha” kufinyelele eqophelweni manje lapho Izinsuku Zethu Zentsha Yomhlaba Wonke, amahora okudumisa nokukhulekela, kanye nemicimbi yentsha inganele — manje igazi lethu selizodingeka kithina. Makube njalo. Umvuzo wethu ungowaphakade emva kokuba inkonzo yethu emfushane eya kuNkulunkulu yenziwe lapha.

Uma igama lingaguqukanga, kuzoba yigazi eliguqukayo. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, ovela enkondlweni ethi "Stanislaw"
