EMNYANGWENI WOKUFA
YENKONZO KANKULUNKULU LUISA PICCARRETA
YIBA wake wazibuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu eqhubeka nokuthumela iNcasakazi uMariya ukuthi ivele emhlabeni? Kungani kungenjalo umshumayeli omkhulu, uSt. Paul… noma umvangeli omkhulu, uSt. John… noma umpapa wokuqala, uSt. Peter, “idwala”? Isizathu singenxa yokuthi uMama wethu uxhunyaniswe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa neSonto, njengomama wakhe ongokomoya futhi "njengesibonakaliso":Qhubeka ukufunda
… Ukusa kokuphakama kuzosivakashela
ukukhanyisela labo abahlezi ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa,
ukuqondisa izinyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.
(ULuka 1: 78-79)
AS kwakungokokuqala uJesu efika, ngakho-ke futhi sekusemngceleni wokuza koMbuso wakhe emhlabeni njengasezulwini, okulungiselela nokwandulela ukufika Kwakhe kokugcina ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Izwe, futhi, “lisebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa,” kodwa ukusa okusha kusondela ngokushesha.Qhubeka ukufunda
IPentecôte (Pentecost), nguJean II Restout (1732)
ONE zezimfihlakalo ezinkulu “zezikhathi zokugcina” ezembulwa kulelihora iqiniso lokuthi uJesu Kristu uza, hhayi enyameni, kodwa ngoMoya ukusungula umbuso wakhe nokubusa phakathi kwezizwe zonke. Yebo, uJesu kuthanda eze enyameni Yakhe ekhazinyulisiwe ekugcineni, kodwa ukuza Kwakhe kokugcina kugcinelwe lolo “suku lokugcina” lwangempela emhlabeni lapho isikhathi sizophela. Ngakho-ke, lapho ababoni abaningi emhlabeni jikelele beqhubeka bethi, “uJesu uyeza maduze” ukuzomisa uMbuso Wakhe “eNkathini Yokuthula,” kusho ukuthini lokhu? Ingabe kungokweBhayibheli futhi ingabe kuyisiko lamaKatolika?

THE UMoya oNgcwele.
Usuhlangane nalo muntu okwamanje? Kukhona uYise neNdodana, yebo, futhi kulula ngathi ukubacabanga ngenxa yobuso bukaKristu kanye nomfanekiso wobaba. Kodwa uMoya oNgcwele… yini, inyoni?

IZINYATHELO EZILUNGILE ZIKAMOYA:
Umsebenzi wakho ku
Icebo LikaNkulunkulu Eliseduze Lobungcwele
NgoMama Wakhe
ngu-Anthony Mullen
nina badonselwe kule webhusayithi ukuba bazilungiselele: okulungiselela okuyinhloko ukuthi kuguqulwe ngokweqiniso futhi kube nguJesu Kristu ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele osebenza ngoMama Ongokomoya kanye nokunqoba kukaMariya uMama wethu, kanye noMama kaNkulunkulu wethu. Ukulungiselela iSiphepho kumane nje kuyingxenye eyodwa (kodwa ebalulekile) ekulungiseleleni “Ubungcwele Bakho Obusha Nobungcwele” obaprofethwa nguSt. John Paul II obuzokwenzeka "ukwenza uKristu abe yiNhliziyo yomhlaba."
IN ekuqaleni kuka-2007, isithombe esinamandla safika kimi ngolunye usuku ngesikhathi sokuthandaza. Ngiyakulandisa futhi lapha (kusuka Ikhandlela Elishunqayo):
Ngabona umhlaba uqoqene sengathi usegumbini elimnyama. Phakathi nendawo kukhona ikhandlela elivuthayo. Imfishane kakhulu, i-wax cishe iyancibilika yonke. ILangabi limele ukukhanya kukaKristu: Iqiniso.Qhubeka ukufunda
THE iphuzu lalo lonke lolu chungechunge ngezipho ezihehayo nokunyakaza ukukhuthaza umfundi ukuthi angakwesabi i- okungavamile kuNkulunkulu! Ungesabi “ukuvula izinhliziyo zakho” kwisipho sikaMoya oNgcwele iNkosi efisa ukumthululela ngendlela ekhethekile nenamandla ezikhathini zethu. Njengoba ngifunda izincwadi ezithunyelwe kimi, kuyacaca ukuthi ukuvuselelwa kweCharismatic akuzange kube ngaphandle kwezinsizi nokwehluleka kwayo, ukushiyeka kwabantu nobuthakathaka bayo. Futhi nokho, yilokhu kanye okwenzeka eBandleni lokuqala ngemuva kwePentekoste. Abangcwele uPeter noPaul basebenzise isikhala esiningi ekulungiseni amasonto ahlukahlukene, ukumodela izinhlangano zosizo, nokuvuselela imiphakathi esathuthuka kaninginingi ngokwesiko lomlomo nelibhaliwe ababelinikezwa. Lokho abaPhostoli abangakwenzanga ukuphika okuhlangenwe nakho okuvamise ukwenzeka kwamakholwa, ukuzama ukuvimba imiphakathi, noma ukuthulisa intshiseko yemiphakathi echumayo. Kunalokho, bathi:
Ungamcimi uMoya… phishekela uthando, kodwa phokophela ngokulangazelela iziphiwo zikamoya, ikakhulu ukuze uprofethe… ngaphezu kwakho konke, uthando lwenu komunye nomunye alube lukhulu… (1 Thes. 5:19; 1 Cor 14: 1; 1 Pet. 4: 8)
Ngifuna ukunikela ingxenye yokugcina yalolu chungechunge ukuze ngabelane ngamava ami kanye nokuzindla kwami selokhu ngaqala ukubhekana nenhlangano yamandla omoya ngonyaka we-1975.
