Umthwebuli Wezithombe Akaziwa

 

 

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngo-Okthoba 5, 2006. 

 

KANYE engikubhalile ngasekupheleni kukaPapa, iSonto LamaKatolika, uMama Obusisiwe, kanye nokuqonda ukuthi iqiniso laphezulu ligeleza kanjani, hhayi ngokuhumusha komuntu siqu, kodwa ngegunya lokufundisa likaJesu, ngathola ama-imeyili alindelekile kanye nokugxekwa kwabangewona amaKhatholika ( noma kunalokho, ababengamaKatolika). Bachaze ukuziphendulela kwami ​​esigabeni sabaphathi, esasungulwa nguKrestu uqobo, ukusho ukuthi anginabo ubudlelwano noJesu; ukuthi ngandlela thile ngikholelwa ukuthi ngisindiswa, hhayi nguJesu, kodwa nguPapa noma umbhishobhi; ukuthi angigcwaliswanga ngoMoya, kodwa "ngumoya" wesikhungo ongishiye ngimpumputhe futhi ngiswele insindiso.

Sengicishe ngashiya inkolo yamaKhatholika uqobo eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule (qaphela Ubufakazi bami noma funda Ubufakazi Bami Bomuntu Siqu), Ngiyaqonda isisekelo sokungaqondi kwabo nokuchema kwabo neSonto LamaKatolika. Ngiyabuqonda ubunzima babo bokwamukela iSonto, ezweni laseNtshonalanga, elicishe lifile ezindaweni eziningi. Ngaphezu kwalokho — futhi njengamaKhatholika, kumele sibhekane naleli qiniso elibuhlungu — amahlazo ezocansi aphathelene nobupristi aqede ukuthembeka kwethu.

Ngenxa yalokho, ukukholwa okunjalo kuye kungakholakali, futhi iSonto alisakwazi ukuzethula ngokwethenjelwa njengommemezeli weNkosi. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, UPapa, iSonto, Nezimpawu Zezikhathi: Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-25

Kwenza kube nzima kithina njengamaKatolika, kodwa kungenzeki - akukho okungenzeki ngoNkulunkulu. Akukaze kube nesikhathi esimnandi kakhulu sokuba ngusanta kunamanje. Futhi iyimiphefumulo nje enjalo lapho ukukhanya kukaJesu kuzobhoboza khona noma buphi ubumnyama, noma ikuphi ukungabaza, noma ikuphi ukukhohlisa — ngisho nalaba abashushisi bethu. Futhi, njengoba uPapa John Paul II wake wabhala enkondlweni, 

Uma igama lingaguqukanga, kuzoba yigazi eliguqukayo.  —UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, ovela enkondlweni, “Stanislaw”

Kepha ake ngiqale ngegama elithi…

 

UKUTHOLA ISIMEMO 

Njengoba ngibhalile esikhathini esithile esedlule ku Izintaba, Izintaba, Namathafa, Ingqungquthela yeSonto nguJesu. Le Ngqungquthela iyisisekelo sempilo yobuKristu. 

Eminyakeni yami yokuqala esikoleni, sasingenalo iqembu lentsha yamaKatolika. Ngakho-ke abazali bami, ababengamaKatolika azinikele othandana noJesu, basithumela eqenjini lamaPentekoste. Lapho, sakha ubungani namanye amaKristu ayenothando ngoJesu, ethanda iZwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi efisa ukufakaza kwabanye. Into eyodwa ababevame ukukhuluma ngayo isidingo "sobudlelwano bomuntu noJesu". Empeleni, eminyakeni eyedlule, ngiyakhumbula nginikezwa incwadi yamahlaya esifundweni sebhayibheli esiseduze esasikhuluma ngendaba yothando lukaNkulunkulu, esivezwa ngokuzidela kweNdodana Yakhe. Kube nomthandazo omncane ekugcineni wokumema uJesu ukuthi abe yiNkosi noMsindisi wami. Ngakho-ke, ngendlela yami encane eneminyaka eyisithupha, ngamema uJesu enhliziyweni yami. Ngiyazi Ungizwile. Akakaze ashiye…

 

UKHATHOLIKI NOMUNTU UJESU

AmaKrestu amaningi amaVangeli noma amaProthestani alilahla iSonto LamaKhatholika ngoba akholwe ukuthi asishumayeli isidingo sokuba "nobudlelwano" noJesu. Babheka amasonto ethu ahlotshiswe ngezithonjana, amakhandlela, izithombe, nemidwebo, futhi bachaza kabi izimpawu ezingcwele “zokukhulekela izithombe.” Babona imikhuba yethu, amasiko, izivatho nemikhosi yomoya futhi bayithatha “njengemisebenzi efile,” engenalo ukholo, impilo nenkululeko uKristu eze ukuyiletha. 

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kufanele silivume iqiniso elithile kulokhu. AmaKhatholika amaningi “avele” eMiseni ngenxa yesibopho, enza umthandazo ophindaphindwayo, kunokuba avele ebuhlotsheni bangempela noNkulunkulu. Kepha lokhu akusho ukuthi uKholo LwamaKatolika lufile noma alunalutho, noma ngabe mhlawumbe iningi linenhliziyo yomuntu. Yebo, uJesu wathi ukwahlulela isihlahla ngezithelo zaso. Kuyinto ehlukile ukusika isihlahla ngokuphelele. Ngisho nabahlambalazi baseSt. Paul bakhombise ukuthobeka okukhulu kunabanye babalingani babo banamuhla. ^[1]isib. Izenzo 5: 38-39

Noma kunjalo, iSonto LamaKatolika emagatsheni alo amaningi lehlulekile; sikudebeselele ngezinye izikhathi ukushumayela ngoJesu Kristu, wabethelwa, wabulawa, wavuka, wathululwa njengomhlatshelo wezono zethu, ukuze simazi, naLowo omthumileyo, ukuze sibe lempilo elaphakade. Lokhu ukukholwa kwethu! Kuyinjabulo yethu! Isizathu sethu sokuphila… futhi sehlulekile “ukusimemeza sisophahleni” njengoba uPapa John Paul II asikhuthaza ukuba sikwenze, ikakhulukazi emasontweni ezizwe ezicebile. Asiphumelelanga ukuphakamisa amazwi ethu ngaphezu komsindo nomdlandla wesimanjemanje, simemezela ngezwi elicacile nelingacacile: UJesu Kristu uyiNkosi!

… Ayikho indlela elula yokukusho. ISonto e-United States lenze umsebenzi omubi wokwakha ukholo nonembeza wamaKhatholika iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40. Futhi manje sivuna imiphumela — esigcawini somphakathi, emindenini yethu nasekudidekeni kwempilo yethu.  - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Enikela KuKesari: The Vocation Vocation yamaKatolika, ngoFebhuwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada

Kepha lokhu kwehluleka ngakho-ke akuyichithi inkolo yamaKatolika, amaqiniso ayo, igunya layo, iKhomishini Enkulu. Akuwenzi ize amasiko “adluliselwa ngomlomo nangokubhaliwe” asinikeza wona uKristu nabaPhostoli. Kunalokho, kunjalo uphawu lwezikhathi.

Ukucaca ngokuphelele: ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu, obuphilayo noJesu Kristu, ngempela uZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele, kusenkabeni yenkolo yethu yamaKhatholika. Eqinisweni, uma kungenjalo, iSonto LamaKatolika aliyona elobuKristu. Kusuka ezimfundisweni zethu ezisemthethweni kuCatechism:

“Inkulu imfihlakalo yokukholwa!” ISonto liyayisho le mfihlakalo kwiSivumo Sokholo Sabaphostoli futhi liyigubha ngokwesiko lesidlo esingcwele, ukuze impilo yabathembekile ifaniswe noKristu kuMoya oNgcwele kube yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba. Le mpicabadala-ke, idinga ukuthi abathembekile bakholelwe kuyo, ukuthi bayigubhe, nokuthi baphile ngayo ebudlelwaneni obubalulekile futhi bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu ophilayo noyiqiniso. –Catechism yeSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), 2558

 

OPAPA, NOBUDLELWANO BOMUNTU  

Ngokuphikisana nabaprofethi bamanga abafuna ukudicilela phansi ubuKhatholika njengokuthi bakhathalela nje ukugcina isikhungo, isidingo sokushumayela ivangeli futhi siphinde sishumayele futhi sasigxile kakhulu ekuphathweni kukaPapa John Paul II. Nguye owaletha egameni lesikhathi samanje leSonto igama kanye nokuphuthuma "kokuvangela okusha", kanye nesidingo sokuqondwa okusha kwemishini yeSonto:

Umsebenzi okulindele — ukushunyayelwa okusha - kufuna ukuthi wethule, ngomdlandla omusha nangezindlela ezintsha, okuqukethwe kwaphakade okungashintshi kwefa lenkolo yobuKristu. Njengoba wazi kahle ukuthi akuyona indaba yokudlulisa nje imfundiso ethile, kodwa umhlangano wobuqu nojulile noMsindisi.   —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Ukuthumela Imindeni, Neo-Catechumenal Way. 1991.

Uthe lokhu kuvangela, kuqala kithina uqobo.

Kwesinye isikhathi ngisho namaKhatholika alahlekelwe noma angakaze abe nethuba lokuzwa uKristu uqobo: hhayi uKristu 'njengepharadayim' nje noma 'inani', kepha njengeNkosi ephilayo, 'indlela, neqiniso, nokuphila'. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, I-L'Osservatore Romano (Uhlelo lwesiNgisi lwe-Vatican Newspaper), Mashi 24, 1993, likhasi 3.

Esifundisa njengezwi leBandla, umlandeli kaPetru, nomalusi omkhulu womhlambi emva kukaKristu, upapa ongasekho wathi lobu budlelwano iqala ngokukhetha:

Ukuguqulwa kusho ukwamukela, ngesinqumo somuntu siqu, ubukhosi bukaKristu obusindisayo nokuba ngumfundi wakhe.  —Ibhidi., Incwadi Encyclical: Injongo Yomhlengi (1990) i-46.

UPapa Benedict ubelokhu ethandile. Empeleni, ngesazi semfundiso yenkolo esidume kangako, unamagama alula, asikhomba kaningi isidingo sokuhlangana noKristu mathupha. Lokhu kwaba yingqikithi ye-encyclical yakhe yokuqala:

Ukuba ngumKristu akuwona umphumela wokukhetha okuhle noma umbono ophakeme, kepha ukuhlangana nomcimbi, umuntu, onikeza impilo umkhathizwe omusha nesiqondiso esinqumayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI; Incwadi Encyclical: Deus Caritas Est, “uNkulunkulu Uluthando”; 1.

Futhi, lo Pope ubuye akhulume ngobukhulu beqiniso kanye nohlobo lokholo.

Ukholo ngokwemvelo yalo ethile ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu ophilayo. -Ibid. 28.

Lokhu kukholwa, uma kuyiqiniso, kufanele futhi kube yisibonakaliso se- Uthando: imisebenzi yesihe, ubulungiswa, nokuthula. Njengoba uPapa Francis asho encwadini yakhe ethi Apostolic Exhortation, ubudlelwano bethu noJesu kumele budlulele ngaphezu kwethu ukuze sisebenzisane noKristu ekuthuthukiseni uMbuso kaNkulunkulu. 

Ngimema wonke amaKrestu, yonke indawo, ngawo lo mzuzu, ekuhlanganeni kabusha komuntu siqu noJesu Kristu, noma okungenani ukungafihli ukuthi amhlangabeze; Ngiyanicela nonke ukuba nikwenze lokhu ngokungaphumeleli usuku nosuku… Ukufunda imiBhalo kukwenza kucace ukuthi iVangeli aligcini nje ngobudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu… Izinga lokuthi abuse ngaphakathi kwethu, impilo yomphakathi iyoba yindawo ubuzalwane bomhlaba wonke, ubulungiswa, ukuthula kanye nesithunzi. Ngakho-ke, ukushumayela kobuKristu nokuphila, kuhloselwe ukuba nomthelela emphakathini… Umsebenzi kaJesu ukuvulwa kombuso kaYise; uyala abafundi bakhe ukuba bashumayele izindaba ezinhle zokuthi “umbuso wezulu ususondele” (Mt 10: 7). —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, 3, 180

Ngakho, umvangeli kufanele aqale yena ngokwakhe ukushunyayelwa ivangeli.

Umsebenzi owenziwayo uyohlala unganele, ngaphandle kokuthi ukhombise ngokusobala uthando ngomuntu, uthando olondliwe ngokuhlangana noKristu. -UPAPA BENEDICT XVI; Incwadi Encyclical: Deus Caritas Est, “uNkulunkulu Uluthando”; 34.

... Singaba ofakazi kuphela uma sazi uKristu kuqala, hhayi kuphela kwabanye - kusuka empilweni yethu, ekuhlanganyeleni kwethu noKristu. Ukumthola ngempela empilweni yethu yokukholwa, siba ngofakazi futhi singaba nesandla entweni entsha yomhlaba, ekuphileni okuphakade. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican City, ngoJanuwari 20, 2010, Zenit

 

UJESU WOMUNTU: UKUXHUMANA NENHLOKO…

AmaKrestu amaningi anezinhloso ezinhle ashiye iSonto LamaKhatholika ngoba engazange ezwe izindaba ezimnandi zishunyayelwa kubo aze ahambele elinye “elinye” isonto elingezansi komgwaqo, noma alalele umvangeli wethelevishini, noma aye esifundweni sebhayibheli… Ngempela, kusho uSt. UPawulu,

Bangakholelwa kanjani kuye abangazange bezwe ngaye? Bangezwa kanjani kungekho oshumayelayo na? (KwabaseRoma 10: 14)

Izinhliziyo zabo zashiswa, imiBhalo yaphila, futhi amehlo abo avuleka ukuze babone imibono emisha. Bazizwa benenjabulo enkulu kubo ebibonakala yehluke kakhulu kunesixuku sabantu besonto labo lamaKatolika. Kepha ngenkathi la makholwa avuselelwe ehamba, ashiya ezinye izimvu ezazikulangazelele kakhulu ukuzwa lokho ezazikuzwile! Mhlawumbe okubi kakhulu, basuka eMthonjeni womusa, uMama weSonto, onakekela izingane zakhe nge Amasakramente.

Ngabe uJesu akasiyalanga ukuthi sidle emzimbeni wakhe futhi siphuze igazi lakhe? Yini-ke, mProthestani othandekayo, udlani? Umbhalo awusitsheli yini ukuthi sivume izono zethu komunye nomunye? Uvuma kubani? Ingabe ukhuluma ngezilimi? Nami. Uyalifunda ibhayibheli lakho? Nami kunjalo. Kepha mfowethu, ngabe umuntu kufanele adle ohlangothini olulodwa lwepuleti lapho iNkosi yethu uqobo ihlinzeka ngokudla okunothile futhi okugcwele edilini lakhe uqobo? 

Inyama yami ingukudla kwangempela, negazi lami liyisiphuzo sangempela. (UJohn 6: 55)

Ingabe unobudlelwano bomuntu siqu noJesu? Nami. Kodwa nginokuningi! (futhi hhayi ngokufaneleka kwami). Usuku ngalunye, ngimbheka ngokuzifihla kwesinkwa newayini. Nsuku zonke, ngiyelula isandla futhi ngiyamthinta ku-Ekaristi Engcwele, othi angilule angithinte ekujuleni komzimba wami nasemphefumulweni wami. Ngoba bekungeyena upapa, noma usanta, noma udokotela weSonto, kepha nguKristu uqobo Lwakhe omemezele:

Mina ngiyisinkwa esiphilayo esehle ezulwini; lowo odla lesi sinkwa uyophila kuze kube phakade; futhi isinkwa engizosinikela yinyama yami yokuphila impilo yezwe. (UJohn 6: 51)

Kepha angiphathi lesi sipho kimi. Kungokwakho nawe. Ngobudlelwano obukhulu kakhulu esingaba nabo, futhi iNkosi yethu efisa ukubunikela, yi ukuhlangana komzimba, umphefumulo nomoya.  

"Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izoshiya uyise nonina inamathele kumkayo, futhi laba ababili bayakuba nyamanye." Le mfihlakalo ijulile, futhi ngithi ikhuluma ngoKristu kanye nesonto. (Kwabase-Efesu 5: 31-32)

 

… NOMZIMBA

Le nhlanganyelo, lobu budlelwane bomuntu uqobo, abwenzeki bodwa, ngoba uNkulunkulu usinikeze umndeni walabo esikholwa nabo ukuba babe babo. Asibashumayezi abantu ngomqondo ophelele, kepha umphakathi ophilayo. ISonto linamalungu amaningi, kodwa “lingumzimba owodwa.” AmaKrestu "akholelwa eBhayibhelini" awenqaba amaKhatholika ngoba sishumayela ukuthi insindiso iyeza ngeBandla. Kepha, akusikho lokhu okushiwo yiBhayibheli?

Okokuqala, iSonto lingumqondo kaKristu; okwesibili, Akwakhi ngokwenzeka komoya, kodwa kubantu, aqale ngoPeter:

Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe, unguPetru, futhi phezu kwaleli dwala ngizokwakha ibandla lami… Ngizokunika izikhiye zombuso wezulu. Noma yini oyibophayo emhlabeni iyakuboshwa ezulwini; futhi noma yini oyithukululayo emhlabeni iyokhululwa ezulwini. (Math 24:18)

Leli gunya uJesu wanezela, hhayi ezixukwini, kodwa kuphela kwabanye abaphostoli abayishumi nanye; igunya lendlalifa lokushumayela nokufundisa nokuphatha lokho amaKhatholika agcina ekubiza ngokuthi "amaSakramente" oBhabhadiso, iSidlo, ukuvuma izono, nokugcoba abagulayo, phakathi kokunye:

… Niyizakhamizi kanye nabangcwele namalungu endlu kaNkulunkulu, eyakhelwe phezu kwesisekelo sabaphostoli nabaprofethi, kanye noKristu Jesu uqobo lwakhe njengetshe eliyinhloko ... Ngakho-ke hambani niyokwenza izizwe zonke abafundi, ukubhaphathiza egameni likaYise, neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele, ubafundisa ukugcina konke engikuyale ngakho… Izono oxolela zona zithethelelwe, futhi ogcina izono zabo zigcinwa… Le ndebe iyisivumelwano esisha egazini lami. Kwenze lokhu, njalo uma uyiphuza, ukungikhumbula… Ngabe kukhona ogulayo phakathi kwenu? Kufanele biza abaphathi besonto, futhi kufanele umkhulekele futhi umgcobe ngamafutha egameni leNkosi… Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, yimani niqine bambelela emasikweni ukuthi wafundiswa, kungaba ngesitatimende somlomo noma ngencwadi yethu… [Kwe] isonto kaNkulunkulu ophilayo nguJehova insika nesisekelo seqiniso... Thobela abaholi bakho futhi uhlehlise kubo, ngoba bakugadile futhi kuyodingeka balandise, ukuze bafeze umsebenzi wabo ngenjabulo hhayi ngosizi, ngoba lokho bekungeke kukusize ngalutho. (Kwabase-Efesu 2: 19-20; Math 28:19; Johane 20:23; 1 Kor 11:25; 1 Tim 3:15; Heb 13:17)

KuseSonto LamaKatolika kuphela lapho sithola ukugcwala "kwediphozithi yokholo," i Igunya ukufeza le mithetho uKristu ayishiya wayicela kithi ukuthi siyidlulisele phambili emhlabeni ngegama lakhe. Ngakho-ke, ukuzigcina uzihlukanisile no "munye, ongcwele, ongumKatolika, ^[2]Igama elithi "catholic" lisho "universal". Ngakho-ke, umuntu uzokuzwa, ngokwesibonelo, ama-Anglican ethandaza iSivumo Sokholo Somphostoli esebenzisa le ndlela. neSonto labaphostoli ”kufanele lifane nengane ekhuliswa ngumzali ongayikhulisi enikeza ingane izinto eziningi zokuphila, kepha hhayi ifa eligcwele lobuzibulo bayo. Sicela uqonde, lokhu akusona isinqumo senkolo noma insindiso yomuntu ongeyena umKatolika. Esikhundleni salokho, kuyisitatimende esinenhloso esuselwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu kanye neminyaka eyi-2000 yokukholwa okuphilayo kanye neNkambiso eyiqiniso. 

Sidinga ubudlelwano noJesu, iNhloko. Kepha sidinga nobudlelwano noMzimba Wakhe, iSonto. Ngoba “itshe legumbi” kanye “nesisekelo” akunakuhlukaniswa:

Ngokomusa kaNkulunkulu engiwunikiwe, njengomakhi oyingcweti ngabeka isisekelo, omunye wakha phezu kwaso. Kepha yilowo nalowo makaqaphele ukuthi wakha kanjani phezu kwaso, ngokuba akekho noyedwa ongabeka isisekelo ngaphandle kwalesi esikhona, esinguJesu Kristu… Udonga lomuzi lwalunezinhla eziyishumi nambili zamatshe njengesisekelo salo, okwakubhalwe kulo amagama ayishumi nambili abaphostoli abayishumi nambili beWundlu. (1 Kor 3: 9; IsAm 21:14)

Okokugcina, njengoba uMariya “eyisibuko” seBandla, indima yakhe nesifiso sakhe nakho ukusiletha ebudlelwaneni obusondelene kakhulu noJesu, iNdodana yakhe. Ngoba ngaphandle kukaJesu, oyiNkosi noMsindisi wabo bonke, naye ubengeke asindiswe…

Ngenkathi ukuzwa ngoKristu ngeBhayibheli noma ngabanye abantu kungenisa umuntu enkolelweni yobuKristu, “kufanele-ke kube yithina (esizibandakanye) mathupha ebudlelwaneni obusondele futhi obujulile noJesu.”—UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Service, ngo-Okthoba 4, 2006

Umuntu, uqobo lwakhe owadalwa “ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu” [ubizelwe] ebudlelwaneni bomuntu siqu noNkulunkulu… Umthandazo ubuhlobo obuphilayo bezingane zikaNkulunkulu noYise wazo… -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 299, 2565
