IN ekuhambeni kwami ​​kulo lonke elaseCanada nase-United States, ngiye ngabusiswa ukuchitha isikhathi nabapristi abahle kakhulu nabangcwele—amadoda adela ukuphila kwawo ngenxa yezimvu zawo. Banjalo abelusi uKristu abafunayo kulezi zinsuku. Banjalo abelusi okumele babe nale nhliziyo ukuze bahole izimvu zabo ezinsukwini ezizayo…

 

INDABA EQINILE

Omunye umpristi onjalo walandisa le ndaba yomuntu siqu eyiqiniso mayelana nesenzakalo esenzeka lapho esesikoleni sobufundisi... 

Phakathi neMisa elingaphandle, waphakamisa amehlo ebheka umpristi phakathi nokuNgcotshwa. Ngokumangala kwakhe, akabange esambona umpristi, kodwa kunalokho, UJesu emi endaweni yakhe! Wayekwazi ukuzwa izwi lompristi, kodwa wabona uKristu. 

Okuhlangenwe nakho kwalokhu bekujule kangangokuba wakubamba ngaphakathi, wakucabangisisa amasonto amabili. Ekugcineni, kwakumele akhulume ngakho. Waya endlini ka-rector wangqongqoza emnyango wakhe. Lapho umphathi ephendula, wabheka isazi seminari wathi, “Ngakho, nawe umbonile? "

 

E-PERSONA CHRISTI

Sinesisho esilula, kepha esijulile eSontweni LamaKatolika: ngomuntu Christi - ebuntwini bukaKristu. 

Enkonzweni yesonto yompristi ogcotshiwe, nguKristu uqobo okhona eSontweni lakhe njengeNhloko yoMzimba wakhe, uMalusi womhlambi wakhe, umpristi omkhulu womhlatshelo wokuhlenga, uMfundisi Weqiniso. Lezi zinceku zikhethwa futhi zingcweliswe yisakramente leMiyalo Engcwele lapho uMoya oNgcwele ubenza bakwazi ukusebenza kumuntu onguKristu oyinhloko yokusiza wonke amalungu eBandla. Isikhonzi esigcotshiwe, kunjengokungathi “siyisithonjana” sikaKristu umpristi. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, n. 1548, 1142

Umpristi ungaphezu kommeleli nje. Uwuphawu lweqiniso oluphilayo nomsele kaKristu. Ngombhishobhi kanye nabasebenza naye - abapristi abaphethwe nguye - Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bafuna ukweluswa kukaKristu. Babheke kubo ukuze bathole isiqondiso, ukudla okungokomoya, namandla uKristu awanika wona okuthethelela izono nokwenza uMzimba Wakhe ube khona eMhlatshelweni weMisa. ukulingisa uKristu kumpristi wabo. Futhi uKristu, uMalusi, wazenzelani izimvu zaKhe?

Ngizonikela ngokuphila kwami ​​ngenxa yezimvu. Johane 10:15

 

UMELUSI OBETHELWEYO    

Njengoba ngibhala lokhu, ubuso balawo makhulu abapristi, ababhishobhi, kanye nokhadinali engihlangane nabo ohambweni lwami bayadlula phambi kwamehlo ami. Futhi ngithi kimi, “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngibhale lezi zinto?” Yiziphi izinto?

Ukuthi ihora selifikile lokuthi abapristi nababhishobhi badele izimpilo zabo ngenxa yezimvu zabo.  

Lelihora belihlezi likhona eBandleni. Kepha ngezikhathi zokuthula, bekuyisingathekiso kakhulu - ukufela ukholo "okumhlophe" kokuzifela. Kodwa manje izikhathi sezifikile lapho abefundisi bezobhekana nezindleko ezinkulu zomuntu siqu zokuba “uMfundisi Weqiniso.” Ukushushiswa. Ukushushiswa. Kwezinye izindawo, ukholo. Izinsuku zokuyekethisa seziphelile. Izinsuku zokuzikhethela sezifikile. Lokho okwakhiwe esihlabathini kuzodilika.

Labo abaphonsela inselelo lobu buqaba obusha babhekene nenketho enzima. Kuphakathi kokuthi bavumelana nalefilosofi noma babhekene nethemba lokufel 'ukholo. —Fr. UJohn Hardon; Ungaba Kanjani UmKatolika Othembekile Namuhla? Ngokuthembeka kuMbhishobhi waseRoma; isihloko esivela ku- khobalamagwala.org

Njengoba omunye umhlaziyi ongumProthestani akubeka, “Labo abakhetha ukushada nomoya wezwe kulesi sikhathi, bazohlukaniswa kwesinye."

Yebo, ukuze abapristi babe izithombe zoMalusi Omkhulu, kumelwe bamlingise: Walalela futhi eqotho kuBaba kwaze kwaba sekugcineni. Kumphristi-ke, ukwethembeka kuBaba waseZulwini kubonakaliswa ngokwethembeka kuBaba UBaba oNgcwele, uPapa, onguMmeli kaKristu (futhi uKristu ungumfanekiso kaYise.) Kodwa uKristu naye wathanda futhi wakhonza futhi wazinikela ngenxa yezimvu kulokhu kulalela: Wathanda abakhe “kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.”^[1]isib. Johane 13:1 Akajabulisanga abantu, kodwa uNkulunkulu. Futhi ekujabuliseni uNkulunkulu, Wakhonza abantu. 

Ingabe manje sengizincengela kubantu noma kuNkulunkulu? Noma ngifuna ukujabulisa abantu? Uma bengisazama ukujabulisa abantu, ngabe angiyona inceku kaKristu. (Gal 1:10)

Ah! Ubuthi obukhulu bosuku lwethu: isifiso sokujabulisa, ukuthandwa nokwamukelwa ngomunye umuntu. Ingabe lesi akusona isithixo segolide iBandla lesimanje elisimise enhliziyweni yalo? Sekukaningi ngizwa kuthiwa iBandla lifana ne-NGO (inhlangano engekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni) kunoMgwamanda ongaqondakali kulezi zinsuku. Yini esehlukanisa nezwe? Muva nje, hhayi okuningi. O, sidinga kanjani abangcwele abaphilayo, hhayi izinhlelo! 

Phakathi kokuhlukumeza okwenzeka ngemva kweVatican II kwezinye izindawo kwaba ukususwa endaweni engcwele yophawu lukaJesu Obethelwe esiphambanweni nokungagcizelelwa koMhlatshelo WeMisa. Yebo, ukubethelwa kukaKristu kuye kwaba ihlazo. ngisho nakwabaKhe. Siyisusile inkemba kaMoya - iqiniso - futhi wasikaza esikhundleni salo uphaphe olucwebezelayo “lokubekezela.” Kodwa njengoba ngisanda kubhala, sibizelwe IBastion ukulungiselela impi. Labo abafisa ukumaka uphaphe lokuyekethisa bazobanjwa kanye nalo emoyeni wenkohliso, bathathwe.

Kuthiwani ngomuntu ovamile? Naye uyingxenye ye- ubupristi bobukhosi kaKristu, yize kungenye indlela ehlukile kunaleyo egcotshwe ngohlamvu olukhethekile lukaKristu kuma-Oda Oyingcwele. Njengoba kunje, i- umuntu obeka phansi ubizelwa ku lala phansi impilo yakhe kwabanye kunoma yiluphi ubizo azithola ekulo. Futhi kufanele futhi athembeke kuKristu ngokulalela umalusi—umpristi womuntu, umbhishobhi, noBaba Ongcwele, naphezu kwanoma ibuphi ubuthakathaka namaphutha omuntu siqu. Izindleko zalokhu kulalela uKristu nazo zinkulu. Mhlawumbe kuzoba ngaphezulu, ngoba kaningi umndeni walowo muntu uzohlupheka kanye naye ngenxa yeVangeli.

Ngizolandela intando Yakho kangangoba Uzongivumela ukuthi ngenze lokho ngommeleli Wakho. O Jesu wami, ngibeka kuqala izwi leBandla kunezwi okhuluma ngalo kimi. – St Faustina, Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, i-497

 

BALA IZINDLEKO

Kumele sonke bala izindleko uma sifuna ukukhonza uJesu ngokwethembeka. Kufanele siqonde ukuthi yini ngempela ayicela kithi, bese sithatha isinqumo sokuthi sizokwenza yini. Bambalwa kangakanani abakhetha i umgwaqo omncane - futhi mayelana nalokhu, iNkosi yethu yayingaqondile kakhulu.

Noma ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe uyolahlekelwa yiyo, kepha olahlekelwa ngukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami uyakukusindisa. (Luka 9:24)

Usicela ukuba sibe yizandla zaKhe nezinyawo zaKhe emhlabeni. Ukuba njengezinkanyezi ezikhanya njalo ebumnyameni obukhulayo, zibambelele eqinisweni.

[UJesu] uphakanyisiwe futhi uyakhazimula phakathi kwezizwe ezimpilweni yalabo abaphila ngokuhlonipha imiyalo. -UMaximus uMhloli; Imfundo yamahora, Umq. IV, k. 386  

Kodwa izandla nezinyawo zaKhe azange zibethelwe emthini? Yebo, uma uzophila ngobuhle nangokwethembeka imiyalo kaKristu, ungalindela ukushushiswa ngisho nokuzondwa. Ikakhulukazi uma ungumpristi. Lezo izindleko esibhekene nazo ngamazinga amakhulu kakhulu namuhla, hhayi ngenxa yokuthi izinga leVangeli liye laphakanyiswa (belokhu lifana), kodwa ngenxa yokuthi ukuphila ngalo ngobuqotho kuya ngokuya kuhlangabezana nobutha.

Ngempela bonke abafisa ukuphila impilo yokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu bazoshushiswa. (2 Thimothewu 3:12)

Singena sijule kakhulu ukubhekana kokugcina weVangeli kanye ne anti-Gospel. Kunokuthile okuhlaselwe iBandla kulezi zinsuku, ukuhlambalaza okungalawuleki konke okungcwele nokungcwele. Kepha njengoba noKristu wakhashelwa ngabakhe, nathi kumele silindele ukuthi okunye ukushushiswa okunzima kungaqhamuka ngaphakathi kwezifunda zethu. Emasontweni amaningi namuhla aye anqotshwa umoya wezwe kangangokuthi labo abaphila ukholo lwabo ngokungathi sína baba ngabasekeli. uphawu lokuphikisana.

Babusisiwe abashushiswa ngenxa yokulunga, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ungowabo. Nibusisiwe lapho abantu benihlambalaza, benishushisa, bekhuluma konke okubi ngani, beqamba amanga ngenxa yami. Jabulani nijabule, ngoba umvuzo wenu mkhulu ezulwini ... (Math 5: 10-12)

Funda lokho kaninginingi. Kwabaningi bethu, ushushiso luzoza ngendlela yokwaliwa okubuhlungu, ukwehlukaniswa, mhlawumbe nokulahlekelwa ngumsebenzi. Kepha kuloku kufela ukholo lokwethembeka lapho kunikezwa khona ubufakazi obukhulu… Kungaleso sikhathi lapho uJesu akhanya ngathi ngoba uqobo akusavimbeli ukukhanya kukaKristu. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho ngamunye wethu engomunye uKristu, enza ku-persona Christi.

Futhi kulomhlatshelo wobumina, mhlawumbe abanye bazobheka emuva ebufakazini bethu lapho uKristu akhanya kubo futhi bathi omunye komunye, “Ngakho, niMbonile futhi? "
