UKUTHANDAZA ngaphambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe, iNkosi yabonakala ichaza ukuthi kungani umhlaba ungena ekuhlanzweni manje, okubonakala kungalungiseki.
Kuwo wonke umlando weBandla Lami, kube nezikhathi lapho uMzimba kaKristu ugule khona. Ngalezo zikhathi ngithumele amakhambi.
Okufike emqondweni yilezo zikhathi lapho sigula ngumkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane. Siphuza isobho lenkukhu, siphuza uketshezi, futhi siphumule kakhulu. Kanjalo noMzimba kaKristu, uma usugula ngokunganaki, inkohlakalo, nokungcola, uNkulunkulu uthumele amakhambi abangcwele, amadoda nabesifazane abangcwele—Isobho lenkukhu lemiphefumulo-Abakhombisa uJesu kithina, ahambisa izinhliziyo ngisho nezizwe ekuphendukeni. Uye wakhuthaza ukunyakaza futhi imiphakathi yothando ukuletha ukuphulukiswa nentshiseko entsha. Ngalezi zindlela, uNkulunkulu ulibuyisile iBandla esikhathini esedlule.
Kepha nini umdlavuza ikhula emzimbeni, la makhambi ngeke ayelaphe. Umdlavuza kufanele unqunywe.
Futhi unjalo umphakathi wethu namuhla. Umdlavuza wesono usufike cishe kuzo zonke izingxenye zomphakathi, konakalisa uchungechunge lokudla, ukuhlinzekwa ngamanzi, ezomnotho, ezepolitiki, isayensi, ezokwelapha, ezemvelo, ezemfundo kanye nenkolo uqobo. Lo mdlavuza uzifake kuwo uqobo izisekelo zesiko, futhi "ungalapheka" kuphela ngokuwususa ngokuphelele.
Ngakho-ke, njengoba ukuphela kwaleli zwe kusondela, isimo sezindaba zabantu kufanele siguquke, futhi ngokudlanga kobubi kube kubi kakhulu; ukuze manje lezi zikhathi zethu, lapho ububi nokungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu kuye kwanda kwaze kwaba sezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu, kungahlulelwa ukuthi kuyajabulisa futhi kucishe kube yigolide uma kuqhathaniswa nalobo bubi obungenakulashwa. —ULactantius, Obaba beSonto: I-Divine Institutes, iNcwadi VII, Isahluko 15, Catholic Encyclopedia; www.newadvent.org
UKUVUNA NOKUHLWANYELA
Ingxenye yokuhlanzwa kuzoba ngumphumela wesintu “sokuvuna lokho okutshalile.” Sesivele siyibona le miphumela ivuleka phambi kwamehlo ethu. I- isiko lokufa ishiye inani labantu bamazwe athuthukile aseNtshonalanga benciphile, futhi okubi kakhulu, isithunzi somuntu senqatshiwe. I- isiko lokuhaha, ngakolunye uhlangothi, sekuguqukele emiphakathini eqhutshwa yinzuzo, okuholele ekwandeni kobumpofu, ubugqila ohlelweni lwezomnotho, nasekucekelweni phansi komndeni ngamandla ezinto ezibonakalayo.
Futhi ithemba lempi ebhubhisayo liyaqhubeka nokufiphala, okwenza “iMpi Yomshoshaphansi” ibukeke ifudumele uma iqhathaniswa.
Kepha ukuhlanzwa nokubuyiselwa kwemvelo, uchungechunge lokudla, inhlabathi, izilwandle namachibi, amahlathi, nomoya esiwuphefumulayo ukuhlinzwa kwezilinganiso zomhlaba. Kusho ukuthi amasistimu nobuchwepheshe obuningi obuyingozi esibusebenzisayo njengamanje ukuphatha, ukuphatha, nokuxhaphaza imvelo kumele kususwe, nomonakalo abawenzile welapheke. Futhi lokhu, uNkulunkulu uzozenzela.
UNkulunkulu uzothumela izijeziso ezimbili: eyodwa izoba sesimweni sezimpi, ukuvukelwa, nobunye ububi; kuyakusuka emhlabeni. Enye izothunyelwa ivela ezulwini. -Ungu-Ana Maria Taigi, uBlessed, Isiprofetho samaKatolika, Ikhasi 76
Ekugcineni, kufanele sikuqonde lokhu kuhlanzwa njengento enhle, ekugcineni, isenzo somusa. Sesiyazi ukuphela kwendaba. Njengoba nje umama okhulelwe eyazi injabulo ezayo, futhi uyazi ukuthi kumele adlule ezinhlungwini zokubeletha nasekubeletheni.
Kodwa inqubo ebuhlungu izoletha impilo entsha… a Ukuza Kovuko.
Uma uNkulunkulu eguqula izinjabulo ezinoshevu zezizwe zibe umunyu, uma onakalisa izinjabulo zazo, futhi uma ehlakaza ameva endleleni yesiphithiphithi sazo, isizathu ukuthi usazithanda namanje. Futhi lobu yisihluku esingcwele soMdokotela, okuthi, ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu zokugula, kusenze sithathe imithi ebabayo futhi esabekayo. Umusa omkhulu kaNkulunkulu ukungavumeli lezo zizwe zihlale ngokuthula zodwa ezingenakho ukuthula Naye. —USt. I-Pio yePietrelcina, IBible My Daily Bible, iphe. I-1482
