The Bridge

IT kungaba lula ukuzwa ukufundwa kweMisa kwanamuhla futhi, ngoba yiSolemnity of the Immaculate Conception, kukusebenzise kuMariya kuphela. Kepha iSonto likhethe ngokucophelela lokhu kufundwa ngoba kwenzelwe ukuthi kusetshenziswe kukho mina nawe. Lokhu kuvezwa ekufundweni kwesibili…

Ukufundwa kokuqala neVangeli namuhla kukhuluma okokuqala, ukungalaleli kuka-Eva, bese kuba ukulalela kukaMariya. Zombili lezi yizikhathi ezibalulekile emlandweni wosindiso. Njengoba oFata beSonto bokuqala babevame ukusho,

Ifindo lokungalaleli kuka-Eva lakhululwa ekulaleleni kukaMariya: lokho intombazane engu-Eva eyakubopha ngokungakholwa kwakhe, uMariya wakhulula ukholo lwakhe. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 494

Kepha kukhona ibhuloho phakathi kwalezi zifundo ezimbili: Amazwi kaSt. Paul kwabase-Efesu, okuyiqiniso, iSonto lisebenza kuMariya ngendlela ekhethekile:

Ubaba wabusisa uMariya ukwedlula noma yimuphi omunye umuntu owadalwa "kuKristu ngazo zonke izibusiso zokomoya ezindaweni zasezulwini" futhi wamkhetha "kuKristu ngaphambi kokusekelwa komhlaba, ukuba abe ngcwele futhi angabi nasici phambi kwakhe othandweni". -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 494

Kepha uSt Paul wayekhuluma nathi sonke, hhayi uMama Obusisiwe kuphela. Kodwa-ke, uba ngukhiye noma bridge ukwembula okushiwo nguSt. ^[1]qhathanisa Ukhiye kuMfazi Unguku “qaphela okuyisibonelo” noma uhlobo ngalokho thina nawe okufanele sibe yikho, futhi sibe yikho. ^[2]Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 967 Lokho akuphiwa ngandlela-thile nge-Immaculate Conception, sikunikwe ngoBhaphathizo — umusa ongcwelisayo. Lokho abembozwe ngakho ku-Annunciation, sikunikwe ngesiQinisekiso — uMoya oNgcwele. Lokho aba yikho “ngokulalela kwakhe ukukholwa” kuze kuyofika Esiphambanweni — umama ongokomoya — yilokho mina nawe okufanele sibe yikho ngokulalela kwethu.

Cabanga ngamapulangwe aleli bhuloho njengezimfihlakalo ezijabulisayo zeRosari. Ngoba kulezi zimfihlakalo kulele indlela esizoyithatha mina nawe.

I. Ukumenyezelwa

Nsuku zonke, sidinga ukunikeza u "yebo" wethu kuNkulunkulu, ukulandela intando yaKhe hhayi eyethu. “Noma yini eniyenzayo,” kusho uSt. Paul, “konke kwenzeleni udumo lukaNkulunkulu.” ^[3]I-1 Cor 10: 31 Lokhu kusho ukuthi kumaHubo anamuhla "ukuhubela iNkosi iculo elisha" - ukwenza umnikelo omusha wakho, umsebenzi wakho, izindlela ezivamile zosuku. Uma usuqedile nge ukuthanda, lapho-ke impilo yakho iba yingoma entsha, entsha ubukhazikhazi eNkosini, ngaleyo ndlela ugcwalisa umyalo wokuMthanda ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, umphefumulo, namandla. Ngale ndlela, uJesu ukhulelwa kukho konke okwenzayo futhi impilo yaKhe engaphezu kwemvelo iba yimpilo yakho.

II. Ukuvakashelwa

UMary akazange azifihle, akazange afihle abanye isipho esiyigugu esiswini sakhe. Ngempela uya "eshesha" eyovakashela u-Elizabeth. Nathi kufanele sisheshe sithande abanye abantu abasizungezile. UPaul uthi, "Yilowo nalowo makangabheki okwakhe kuphela, kepha abheke nokwabanye." ^[4]UPhil 2: 4 Lokhu kufeza ingxenye yesibili yomyalo kaKristu, ukuze thanda umakhelwane wakho usuku ngalunye. Umuntu akakwazi ukunikeza okwakhe fiat kuNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwabo fiat kumakhelwane wabo.

Abaningi bazama ukuphunyuka kwabanye futhi baphephele ebuntofontofo babodwa noma esiyingini esincane sabangane abaseduze, belahla ubuqiniso besici senhlalo seVangeli. Ngoba njengoba nje abanye abantu befuna uKristu ongokomoya kuphela, ngaphandle kwenyama nangaphandle kwesiphambano, bafuna nobudlelwano babo nabanye obunikezwe yimishini eyindida, ngezikrini nezinhlelo ezingavulwa zicishwe ngomyalo. Khonamanjalo, iVangeli lisitshela njalo ukuba sengozini yokuhlangana ubuso nobuso nabanye… Ukholo lweqiniso eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu alinakuhlukaniswa nokuzinikela kwakho. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 88

III. Ukuzalwa KukaJesu

Ekugcwaliseni izidingo zothando lukaNkulunkulu nomakhelwane, sizala uJesu phakathi kwethu. Futhi ngohlobo uqobo lwethu "lokulalela ukukholwa," ngokuzenzakalela sihehela abanye kithi. UMary akazange alengise uphawu esikhangisweni esitebeleni esithi “UMesiya Ufikile.” AmaPilgrim aqala nje ukubonakala — bobabili abomele uNkulunkulu wabo (abelusi noMagi) nalabo abazomshushisa (amasosha kaHerode).

Kukhona imfihlakalo enkulu lapha. Ngoba uma kungasekho "kodwa uKristu uphila kimi," ^[5]IGal 2: 20 abanye bazodonswa ekukhanyeni kukaKristu kimi ngezindlela ezingaphezu kwemvelo. Njengoba. USt. Seraphim wake wathi, "Thola umoya wokuthula, futhi kuzosindiswa izinkulungwane ezikuzungezile." Lokho kungenxa yokuthi uthando luhlala luzala iSikhulu Sokuthula.

IV. Isethulo

Yize “ayegcwele umusa,” uMary ufundisa ukuthi ukuthobela imithetho yomthetho kuyisisekelo sempilo yomusa. Kwesinye isikhathi amaKrestu afuna ukubamba uJesu ezandleni zabo, njengoMariya, kepha ngaphandle kokuya "ethempelini." Kepha asikwazi ukwanga iNhloko kuphela hhayi umzimba waKhe, okuyiBandla. Ukulalela kwethu imithetho yeSonto nokubamba iqhaza kumaSakramente alo kungumgogodla wokuwela ibhuloho eliya eZulwini. Mayelana nalokhu, nathi siba “yizimpawu zokuphikisana” nezwe elihilelekile eliwumthetho kulo uqobo. Ngakho-ke, inkemba yoshushiso nayo ingangena ezinhliziyweni zethu, kodwa “Babusisiwe abashushiswa ngenxa yokulunga. " ^[6]I-Matt 5: 10

V. UJesu Ulahlekile Ethempelini

Wabheka wafuna izinsuku ezintathu waze wamthola oThandekayo wakhe. Futhi, yize "wayegcwele umusa," uMariya wayelangazelela Lowo owayenguye umthombo nomthombo somusa. Uveza ukuthi kufanele sihlakulele njalo a isifiso ngoNkulunkulu; lokho kuzanelisa, ukuziqhenya ngokomoya kanye nobuvila kungaholela ekulahlekelweni nguye. Lapho singabe sisacela, siyeka ukwamukela. Lapho singamfuni, ngeke simthole. Lapho siyeka ukungqongqoza, iminyango yomusa ihlala ivaliwe. UMary kwadingeka aphile njalo iMagnificat yakhe, okungukuthi, ahlale “eyisigqilakazi… ophansi… elambile”… othembekile. Ngoba umbuso wezulu ungowomntwana.

Abalambile ubasuthisile ngezinto ezinhle; abacebile ubamukise bengenalutho. (Luka 1:53)

Lawa “ngamapulangwe” amahlanu ngalesosikhathi, ahlanganiswe ubuhlalu obuncane, lokho nsuku zonke okuzosibopha kukho “zonke izibusiso zikamoya emazulwini” hhayi thina kuphela, kodwa nabanye. Ngale ndlela, siba "ngumama ongokomoya" kubo futhi, umzila womusa, ukuze bakhale kanye noMhubi:

INkosi yenze insindiso yayo yaziwa; emehlweni ayo izizwe yembula ukwahlulela kwayo.
