Umkhumbi Omnyama

 

IT kwakuyiphupho lomoya womphikukristu. Kwafika kimi ekuqaleni kwenkonzo yami ngo-1994.

Ngangisendaweni yokuhlehla kanye namanye amaKrestu ngenkathi ngokungazelelwe iqembu labantu abasha langena. Babeneminyaka engamashumi amabili, owesilisa nowesifazane, bonke bekhanga kakhulu. Kwakungicacela ukuthi babethatha buthule le ndlu yokubuyela emuva. Ngikhumbula kufanele ngiwafayishe ngidlule kuwo ekhishini. Babemomotheka, kodwa amehlo abo ayebanda. Kwakunobubi obufihliwe ngaphansi kobuso babo obuhle, obubambekayo kunokubonakalayo.

Into elandelayo engiyikhumbulayo (kubonakala sengathi ingxenye ephakathi nephupho kungenzeka ukuthi isusiwe, noma ngomusa kaNkulunkulu angikwazi ukuyikhumbula), ngazithola ngiphuma esitokisini. Ngayiswa egunjini elimhlophe elifana nelabhorethri elalikhanyiswe nge-fluorescent. Lapho, ngathola umkami nezingane bedla izidakamizwa, ngondlekile futhi behlukunyezwa.

Ngivukile. Futhi lapho ngikwenza lokho, ngezwa — futhi angazi ukuthi ngazi kanjani — ngezwa umoya “woMphikukristu” egumbini lami. Ububi babucindezela kakhulu, busabeka kabi, “sebuyinyama”, kangangokuthi ngaqala ukukhala, “Nkosi, akunakuba njalo. Akunakuba njalo! Cha Nkosi…. ” Akukaze nangaphambi noma kusukela lapho ngibone ububi obumsulwa kanjena. Futhi kwakuwumqondo ocacile ukuthi lobu bubi kungenzeka babukhona, noma buza emhlabeni…

Umkami wavuka, wathi ekuzwa ukuhlupheka kwami, wakhuza umoya, kwaqala ukubuya ukuthula.

Kusekubhekeni emuva kuphela lapho incazelo yezici ezahlukahlukene zaleli phupho lesiprofetho seziya zicaca ngosuku. 

Ubuso obuhehayo yizimpawu ze- ukukholeka kokuziphatha, ezimboziwe ngamagama anjengokuthi "ukubekezelelana", "ukulingana ngokobulili" kanye "namalungelo." Phezulu, lobu buso bubukeka bunengqondo, bulungile, futhi buheha... kodwa empeleni, badicilela phansi umthetho wokuziphatha nowemvelo. Ebusweni, zibonakala zinobubele futhi zingenandaba, kepha ngaphansi, azibekezeleli futhi ziyizidlamlilo. Phezulu bakhuluma ngobunye nokuthula, kepha empeleni, amazwi nezenzo zabo kubanga ukungalingani nokwehlukana. Ngamafuphi, zingobuso be- ukungabi namthetho. Iqiniso lokuthi bathatha "isikhungo sokubuyela emuva" lifanekisela "inkolo" entsha ekhulayo esusa inkolo yeqiniso futhi ithulisa labo abaphikisana ne-ajenda yabo (efanekiselwa ukuvalelwa wedwa). 

The I-New Age okuntwela kokusa kuzofakwa ngabantu ngabantu abaphelele, abanobuhlakani abaphethe ngokuphelele imithetho yemvelo. Kulesi simo, ubuKrestu kufanele bususwe futhi bunikezwe inkolo yomhlaba kanye nohlelo lomhlaba omusha.  - ‚UJesu Kristu, Umphathi Wamanzi Okuphila, hhayi. 4, Imikhandlu Yapapa Yezamasiko Nezingxoxo Ezingokwenkolo

Iqiniso lokuthi bekufanele sidlulise le ntsha sidlule "ekhishini" likhombisa lokho they wayezuzile isilawuli ngaphezulu kwezidingo eziyisisekelo zempilo. “Ukufakwa kwezidakamizwa” kanye nelambu lokufakelwa mhlawumbe kusikisela ukuthi isikhathi yokwanda kwalesi sikhathi sobushiqela. Ngempela, siyafakaza Ubuthi Obukhulu kweplanethi ngezinga elingakaze libonwe futhi elivelayo — futhi kwenzeka ngasikhathi sinye lapho izibani ze-incandescent zikhishwa ngamalambu e-LED (wona uqobo angabazekayo ngemiphumela yawo kwezempilo). 

 

OPAPA ABATHATHU: I-ALARME EYODWA

Eminyakeni embalwa ngaphambi kokuthatha umhlalaphansi, uBenedict XVI waxwayisa ngokuthi…

… Inkolo engaqondakali, nembi yenziwa yaba yisilinganiso sobushiqela okumele wonke umuntu asilandele. -Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, k. 52

Kuyi…

… Umbuso wobushiqela wobumbano olungabheki lutho njengolucacile, futhi olushiya njengesilinganiso sokugcina kuphela komuntu nezifiso zakhe. Ukuba nokholo olucacile, ngokwesivumelwano seSonto, kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi yi-basicism. Kodwa-ke, ukukholelwa ezintweni ezithile, okungukuthi, ukuzivumela uphonswe futhi 'ukhukhulwe yiyo yonke imimoya yemfundiso', kubonakala kuwukuphela kwesimo sengqondo esamukelekayo ezindinganisweni zanamuhla. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (uPapa BENEDICT XVI) ngaphambi komhlangano u-Homily, ngo-Ephreli 18, 2005

Igama elithi “ubushiqela” yilona elinembile lapha ngoba, ngenkathi sibonakala singumphakathi ovulelekile futhi obekezelayo, empeleni siba ngonya. USt.Paul Paul II waqala ukuzwakala ngokuxwayisa ngalabo bantu abaqala ukuphoqelela imibono yabo emphefumulweni wezizwe.

Lokhu kungumphumela omubi wobumbano olubusa ngaphandle kokuphikiswa: "ilungelo" liyayeka ukuba njalo, ngoba alisasekelwa ngokuqinile esithunzini somuntu esingenakubaleka, kepha senziwa ukuba sithobele intando yengxenye enamandla. Ngale ndlela intando yeningi, ephikisana nemigomo yayo, ihamba ngempumelelo ifike ohlotsheni lobushiqela. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae, "IVangeli Lokuphila",n. 18, 20

Njengokungathi usibonisa ukusondela kwezikhathi zethu kulezo zehlakalo ezinkulu emiBhalweni ezichaza ukuphela kwenkathi nokubusa okude kukaSathane, uJohn Paul II waqhathanisa izikhathi zethu ngqo ISt. John's Apocalypse:

Le mpi ifana nokulwa kwe-apocalyptic okuchazwe ku (IsAm 11: 19 - 12: 1-6). Izimpi zokufa ezilwa nokuPhila: “isiko lokufa” lifuna ukuzibophezela esifisweni sethu sokuphila, futhi siphile ngokugcwele… Imikhakha emikhulu yomphakathi ididekile ngokuthi yini elungile nengalungile, futhi isemseni walabo amandla "okudala" umbono futhi awuphoqelele kwabanye… "Udrako" (IsAm. 12: 3), “umbusi waleli zwe” (Joh 12:31) anguyise wamanga (Joh 8:44), ngokungaphezi uzama ukuqeda ezinhliziyweni zabantu umuzwa wokubonga nokuhlonipha isipho sokuqala esingavamile nesisisekelo sikaNkulunkulu: impilo yomuntu uqobo. Namuhla lowomzabalazo usuqonde ngqo. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, eCherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

UPapa Benedict futhi udwebe umugqa oqondile kusuka kuSambulo 12 kuye ezikhathini zethu:

Le mpi esizithola [silwa] nayo… amandla abhubhisa umhlaba, kukhulunywa ngayo esahlukweni 12 seSambulo… Kuthiwa udrako uqondisa umfula omkhulu wamanzi kulowo wesifazane obalekayo, ukumshanela… ngicabanga ukuthi kulula ukuhumusha lokho okumelwe ngumfula: yila maqhuqhuva abusa wonke umuntu, futhi afuna ukuqeda ukholo lweBandla, olubukeka lungenandawo yokuma phambi kwamandla ale misinga eziphoqa njengeyona kuphela indlela yokucabanga, ukuphela kwendlela yokuphila. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, umhlangano wokuqala wesigungu esikhethekile eMiddle East, ngo-Okthoba 10, 2010

Ngenkathi esengukhadinali, uBenedict wabona ukuthi ukwenze kanjani lokho ubuchwepheshe kuvule indlela yobushiqela nokuthi yini engachazwa ngokufanele ngokuthi Ukulungiswa Okukhulu wobuntu.

Ngakho-ke kungukuthi iminyaka yethu ibone ukuzalwa kwezindlela zobushiqela kanye nezinhlobo zobushiqela obekungeke kwenzeke esikhathini esingaphambi kokuba ubuchwepheshe bube phambili… Namuhla ukulawula kungangena empilweni yangaphakathi yabantu ... - Umyalo Wenkululeko YobuKristu neNkululeko, n. 14; v Vatican.va

Ngempela, akukhona kuphela ukuqedwa kweSonto okusalokhu kuyinkinga enkulu, kodwa “nalo ikusasa lomhlaba lisengozini,” ^[1]qhathanisa Ku-Eva uthe. UPapa Francis uchaza ukuthi kungani:

UFrancis wase-Assisi usitshela ukuthi kufanele sisebenzele ukwakha ukuthula, kepha akukho ukuthula ngaphandle kweqiniso! Akunakubakhona ukuthula kweqiniso uma wonke umuntu eyindlela yakhe, uma wonke umuntu engafuna amalungelo akhe kuphela, ngaphandle kokunaka inhlalakahle yabanye, yabo bonke abantu, ngesisekelo semvelo esihlanganisa wonke umuntu kulokhu umhlaba. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Ekhuluma nabaphathi bamanxusa aseVatican, ngoMashi 22, 2013; I-CNS

Umhlaba wethu usufane nomuntu ongusomkhathi ongafakwanga ibhande kusuka kusethelayithi, ekhukhulekela ebumnyameni engaqondisi. Akusekho ukuqashelwa kwemikhuba yokuziphatha. Njengoba impilo kaFrancis isho, impilo yomuntu seyilahliwe. Lokho
okulungile sekonakele, futhi ngendlela efanayo-futhi konke baphoqeleka ukwamukela lezi zincazelo ezintsha zomshado, ezocansi, ukuthi ngubani ofanele ukuhlala nokuthi ngubani ongafanele, kanye nokwenziwa kwamasiko homogenization. 

Akukona ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke okuhle kobunye bazo zonke izizwe, ngasinye sinamasiko aso, kunalokho ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke kokufana kwe-hegemonic, kungukuthi umcabango owodwa. Futhi lo mcabango owodwa uyisithelo sokuthanda izwe. —POPE FRANCIS, Homily, Novemba 18, 2013; Zenit

Ngakho-ke, kunokuthula okuncane emhlabeni wethu ngoba senqabe iqiniso ngesilinganiso esikhulu. Ngempela, uPapa Francis wenza isimemezelo esimangazayo sokuthi sesivele singene eMpini Yesithathu Yomhlaba.

Ubuntu budinga ukukhala… Nanamuhla, ngemuva kokwehluleka okwesibili kwenye impi yomhlaba, mhlawumbe umuntu angakhuluma ngempi yesithathu, eyodwa yalwa ngocezu, ngobugebengu, ukubulawa kwabantu, ukubhujiswa. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, ukukhunjulwa kwekhulu leminyaka le-WWI; ISlovenia, e-Italy; Septhemba 13, 2014, bbc.com

Kungakho ngithi izimvu zamanzi zesambulo akusizo ngempela isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu, kodwa umuntu uvuna isivuno esigcwele sokuhlubuka kwakhe. ^[2]qhathanisa Ihora Lenkemba Ngakho-ke, ubuzwe buyakhuphuka ngezindlela ezeqisayo nezinobudlova njengoba zonke izinhlobo zobudlwangudlwangu, ukuzicabangela nokuzikhusela kubonakala kubantu. Cishe akunakwenzeka ukucabanga ukuthi yisiphi esinye isizukulwane esifanela incazelo kaSt. Paul yabantu 'ezikhathini zokugcina' ngaphezu kwethu:

… Ezinsukwini zokugcina kuzofika izikhathi zengcindezi. Ngokuba abantu bayakuba ngabazithandayo, abathanda imali, abazidlayo, abazidlayo, abahlukumezayo, abangalaleli abazali babo, abangabongiyo, abangenabungcwele, abangenabuntu, abangenazimpikiswano, abanyundeli, izifebe, abanolaka, abazonda okuhle, abakhohlisayo, abanganaki, abajwayele ukuzikhukhumeza, abathandi yenjabulo kunabathandi bakaNkulunkulu. (2 Thimothewu 3: 1-4)

Konke lokhu kulungiselela umhlaba noma ngabe ukuvuselelwa okukhulu futhi ubuyele kuNkulunkulu… noma inkohliso enkulu yokwamukela "isisombululo" sikaSathane ezinkingeni zesintu. Njengoba okwamanje singaboni umhlaba uphendukela kuKristu ukuzolapha izinsizi zethu, futhi empeleni, uyamenqaba eBandleni Lakhe, kungabonakala kungokugcina.

Inzondo yabazalwane yenza indawo elandelayo yoMphikukristu; ngoba udeveli ulungiselela ngaphambili ukwahlukana phakathi kwabantu, ukuze lowo ozayo amukeleke kubo. —USt. UCyril waseJerusalema, uDokotela WeSonto, (c. 315-386), Izinkulumo Zokufunda, Isifundo XV, n.9

Futhi “indodana yolahleko” izofika iletha…

… A inkolo ukukhohlisa okunikeza amadoda isixazululo esisobala sezinkinga zabo ngentengo yokuhlubuka eqinisweni. Inkohliso ephakeme yenkolo yileyo yoMphikukristu… -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 675

Yebo, lowo ngumthwalo walokhu Umkhumbi Omnyama obekulokhu, kuze kube manje, ukuhamba ngomkhumbi cishe ngaphandle komsindo, ngokunyonyobela eceleni kweBarque of Peter.
Isivumokholo saso esikhulu, esizalwa phezu kwefulegi laso elimnyama, yigama elithi “Ukubekezelelana.” Ngokuphambene nalokho, iBarque of Peter yenza umsindo omkhulu, umsindo wenjabulo, njengoba ishaya amagagasi amabi ahlala emhlasela. Kubhalwe ukuthi “Iqiniso” efulethini lakhe elimhlophe nelidabukile. Ukugcwalisa useyili wakhe kungumoya kaMoya, omthwala ngaphesheya kwamakhemikhali angenakwenzeka… kepha iBlack Ship iqhutshwa umoya oshisayo kaSathane — amanga kaSathane afika njengomoya opholile (yonke indlela evela ekukhanyisweni), kepha aphathe amandla kwe isivunguvungu…

Ngakho-ke, nali isu “lomdlalo wokuphela” phakathi kwale mikhumbi emibili ehamba ngomkhumbi ngokufana:

• INkosi ihlose umhlambi munye, umalusi munye; USathane uhlela abantu abathandanayo abathandanayo.

• INkosi izoletha ubunye ekwahlukaneni kwabantu; USathane ufisa ukubhubhisa ukwehluka ukudala ukufana.

• INkosi ihlela “inkathi yokuthula”; USathane uhlela "iminyaka ka-Aquarius".

• INkosi izokufeza lokhu ngokuhlanza onembeza babantu Bayo; USathane uthembisa ukuholela abantu “esimweni esiphakeme noma esishintshile sokwazi.”

• INkosi izokhonzwa kusukela ezindaweni ezisogwini kuye ogwini enkathini entsha; USathane uzophoqa izizwe ukuthi zikhulekele isilo ngohlelo lomhlaba omusha.

Impela, ngithi uSathane "uhlela", kodwa kuphela ngokwendlela uNkulunkulu amvumela ngayo.

Ngisho namademoni ayahlolwa yizingilosi ezinhle hleze zilimaze kakhulu ngangawo. Ngendlela efanayo, Umphik'ukristu ngeke enze okubi kakhulu ngendlela abefisa ngayo. —USt. UThomas Aquinas, ISumma Theologica, Ingxenye I, Q.113, Ubuciko. 4

 

INKOHLISO ENKULU

Bafowethu nodadewethu, uSathane ubesenezinkulungwane zeminyaka zokufunda ngokuziphatha komuntu. Yingakho uKristu abikezela kalula futhi wabikezela ukuthi lezi zikhathi zizobukeka kanjani, manje sekuyiminyaka engama-2000 kamuva. Kuyinkohliso enkulu ebilokhu yenziwa kusukela eNsimini yase-Edene. Kuyisilingo esingapheli sokuthi umuntu abe ngunkulunkulu wakhe.

Ngikholwa ukuthi uRobert Hugh Benson uyibhale kahle ngaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka elidlule ku Nkosi Yomhlaba. Wabona kuza inkohliso ebushelelezi, ekhangayo, kangangokuthi ngisho nabakhethiweyo abathile bazokhohliswa. Ngabe i- umhlaba, ukudwengulwa yimpi yenuzi, izinhlekelele zemvelo, ukuwa komnotho, nezinxushunxushu ezivulekile kunqaba umuntu obonakala ekuqeda ngempumelelo konke lokhu? Kungenzeka, njengoba uBenson eqagula…

… Ukubuyisana komhlaba ngesisekelo esingelona iQiniso elingcwele… kwaba khona ubunye obungafani nanoma yini eyaziwayo emlandweni. Lokhu bekuyinto ebulala kakhulu ngoba iqukethe izinto eziningi kangaka zobuhle obungenakuphikwa. Impi, ngokusobala, yayisiphelile, futhi kwakungeyona inkolo yobuKristu eyayikwenzile; Inyunyana manje yayibonakala ingcono kunokuhlangana, futhi isifundo sasifundwe ngaphandle kweSonto… Ubungane bathatha indawo yesisa senhliziyo, ukwaneliseka indawo yethemba, nolwazi indawo yokukholwa. -Nkosi Yomhlaba, URobert Hugh Benson, 1907, k. 120

Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi lokhu kungabi “kuhle”? Impendulo yanikezwa uPapa Francis: akukho ukuthula ngaphandle kweqiniso! Lokho wukuthi, kuzoba ukuthula kwamanga okungenakuhlala isikhathi eside, okwakhelwe phezu kwesihlabathi esiguqukayo sokuziphatha okuhle. Ngoba njalo kufihlwe enzalweni yamanga inhlamvu yokufa.

Lapho abantu bethi, “Ukuthula nokuhlala kahle,” khona inhlekelele engazelelwe ifika phezu kwabo, njengezinhlungu zokubeletha owesifazane okhulelweyo, abasoze baphunyuka. (1 Thesalonika 5: 3)

Umfundi waseFrance uphawule ngesimo sabaholi bomhlaba abajoyina izingalo ngokubambisana ngokumelene nobushokobezi eParis.

Ukuthi kunokuthile okuphawuleka ngokwedlulele okwenzeka lapha kusobala ngeqiniso lokuthi izinhloko eziningi zombuso ziyahlangana eParis ukumasha zivikela… kahle, yini nje? Umuntu okhulelwe ongekho emthethweni futhi ongenasisekelo ngokwazi kwami ​​(okuyimpumputhe ngamabomu mayelana nodaka lapho ukuzikhandla kulethe khona umphakathi waseNtshonalanga) kusekelwe enkulumweni engaqondakali 'yezindinganiso ezingcwele zeRiphabhuliki' - okuyisisekelo sokukhanyiselwa. —Umfundi eParis

Yebo, masingakhohlwa ukuthi iningi lalaba baholi abashoyo cha ebudloveni bamaSulumane bangabantu abafanayo abathi Yebo ukukhipha isisu, ukubulawa kwesiguli, ukusiza ukuzibulala, ukufundisa ngocansi okucacile, ezinye izindlela zomshado, imingcele evulekile (okuxakayo), kanye "nempi nje" ngenxa "yezintshisekelo zezwe" (okusho uwoyela). Hhayi ukuthi lesi senzo esidlangalaleni sesibindi asifanele. Kepha lapho simelana ngaphandle kokuma kunoma yini, ngokusobala sesiqalile ukugibela i- Umkhumbi Omnyama.

[I] New Age yabelana ngenombolo ye- amaqembu anethonya emhlabeni jikelele inhloso yokuthatha isikhundla noma ukweqa izinkolo ezithile ukuze kwakheke isikhala se- inkolo yendawo yonke engahlanganisa isintu. Okuhlobene kakhulu nalokhu kungumzamo ohlangene kakhulu ohlangothini lwezikhungo eziningi ukusungula i- Isimilo Somhlaba Wonke. -UJesu Kristu, Umphathi Wamanzi Okuphila, hhayi. 2.5 , Imikhandlu Yapapa Yezamasiko Nezingxoxo Ezingokwenkolo

Okuhlala kufihlwe enzalweni yamanga inhlamvu yokufa.

Kungani ungaqondi engikushoyo? Ngoba awukwazi ukubekezelela ukuzwa izwi lami. Nina ningabakayihlo uSathane, nenza ukuthanda kwenu ngokuzithandela. Wayengumbulali wabantu kwasekuqaleni futhi akemi eqinisweni, ngoba iqiniso alikho kuye. (Johane 8: 43-44)

Ukubuyisana nokuzwana noNkulunkulu kuphela okuyoqeda isaga eside sempi nosizi umuntu azithwesa lona manje, futhi azokhipha amazinga amakhulu ngokwengeziwe eminyakeni ezayo, kuze kube yilapho uNkulunkulu ephoqeleka ukuba angenelele ngendlela enqumayo phula uSathane, futhi ekugcineni bonke abaphikelela ukumkhonza. Futhi asikwazi — thina akufanele khohlwa-ukuthi izulu libambe iqhaza eliphelele kule mpi yokugcina. Akufanele sesabe, kepha ngasikhathi sinye, siqaphele ngokuphelele inkohliso enamandla ehlasela umhlaba ngalesi sikhathi. Isihe Saphezulu sinezimanga eziningi ezizayo. Ithemba yisizinda sensali encane.

Isintu ngeke sibe nokuthula kuze kube yilapho siphenduka ngokuthembela emseni Wami.
-Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, uJesu ku-St. Faustina, Diary, n. 300
