I-Counter-Revolution

USt. Maximillian Kolbe

 

Ngaphetha I-Trajectory ethi silungiselelwa ukushunyayelwa okusha. Yilokhu okumele sizinikele ngakho ngaphambili — hhayi ukwakha izindlu ezingaphansi komhlaba nokugcina ukudla. Kukhona "ukubuyiselwa" okuzayo. UMama wethu ukhuluma ngakho, kanye nangopapa (bheka Oopapa, kanye ne-Dawning Era). Ngakho-ke ungahlali ezinhlungwini zokubeletha, kodwa ekuzalweni okuzayo. Ukuhlanzwa komhlaba kumane kuyingxenye encane yohlelo lwenkosi oluvelayo, noma ngabe kuzovela egazini labafel 'ukholo…

 

IT iyona ihora le-Counter-Revolution ukuqala. Ihora lapho ngamunye wethu, ngokwezihawu, ukukholwa, nezipho esizinikwe nguMoya oNgcwele bebizelwa kulobu bumnyama njengamanje amalangabi othando futhi ukukhanya. Ngoba, njengoba uPapa Benedict ake asho:

Asikwazi ukwamukela ngomoya ophansi sonke isintu esibuyele emuva ebuhedeni. -Cardinal Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukushunyayelwa Okusha, Kwakha Impucuko Yothando; Ikheli elibhekiswe kubafundisi beKhathekisthi neNkolo, ngoDisemba 12, 2000

… Awumele ume ungenzi lutho uma impilo yomakhelwane wakho isengozini. (bheka uLev 19:16)

Yihora lapho kufanele sithole isibindi sethu futhi senze ingxenye yethu ukuletha ukubuyiselwa kwezinto zonke kuKristu.

ISonto lihlale linxuswa ukuba lenze lokho uNkulunkulu akucela ku-Abrahama, okuwukuqinisekisa ukuthi kunabantu abalungile abenele ukucindezela ububi nokubhujiswa… amazwi ami [angumthandazo] wokuthi amandla abalungileyo abuye namandla abo. Ngakho-ke ungathi ukunqoba kukaNkulunkulu, ukunqoba kukaMariya, kuthule, kungokoqobo noma kunjalo. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, k. 166, Izingxoxo NoPeter Seewald

Yihora lapho, ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye, i- ubuhle lokholo lwethu kumele lukhanye futhi…

 

IGCOKAMA ELIMNYAMA

Lobu bumnyama obukhona bungachazwa ngokufanele ngokuthi yi ububi. Kungububi obumboze yonke into efana nengubo emnyama emunyu, kusuka kwezobuciko nezincwadi, kumculo naseshashalazini, ukuthi sikhuluma kanjani komunye nomunye ezinkundleni, ezinkulumweni mpikiswano, kuthelevishini nakwezokuxhumana. Ubuciko buye baba okungaqondakali nokungajwayelekile; izincwadi ezidayiswa kakhulu zikhathazeka ngobugebengu nokusebenzelana nemimoya; Amabhayisikobho adluliselwe inkanuko, ubudlova, nobumnyama be-apocalyptic; ithelevishini emibonisweni “engokoqobo” engenamqondo, engajulile; ukuxhumana kwethu sekungabi nasimilo futhi kwehlisa isithunzi; futhi umculo odumile uvame ukuba nokhahlo futhi usindise, usebenze ngogesi futhi uhlasele, ukhonze inyama. Bukhulu kangaka lobu bubi kangangokuba neLiturgy selingcolisiwe ngokulahlekelwa umuzwa wokumangala nokwedlula lapho sekufakwe kwizimpawu nezimpawu kanye nomculo ezindaweni eziningi lapho sekucekelwe phansi konke. Okokugcina, kubi lokho lifuna ngisho nokukhubaza imvelo uqobo — umbala wemvelo wemifino nezithelo, ukwakheka kanye nezici zezilwane, ukusebenza kwezitshalo nomhlabathi, yebo - ukusilimaza isithombe sikaNkulunkulu esidalwe kuso, wesilisa futhi owesifazane.^[1]qhathanisa Ubulili Nenkululeko Yabantu

 

UBUHLE NETHEMBA

Lobu bubi obugcwele esibubizelwe ukububuyisela kubo ubuhle, futhi ngaleyo ndlela ubuyisele ngethemba. UPapa Benedict wakhuluma "ngesibopho esijulile phakathi kobuhle nethemba". ^[2]UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kubaculi, Novemba 22, 2009; IZENIT.org Enkulumweni engokwesiprofetho kubaculi, uPaul VI wathi:

Leli zwe esiphila kulo lidinga ubuhle ukuze lingaphelelwa yithemba. Ubuhle, njengeqiniso, buletha injabulo enhliziyweni yomuntu, futhi leso yisithelo esiyigugu esiphikisana nokuguguleka kwesikhathi, esihlanganisa izizukulwane futhi sizenze zibe munye ekubabazeni. —UDisemba 8, 1965; IZENIT.org

Isazi sefilosofi saseRussia uFyodor Dostoevsky wake wathi, “ubuhle buyosindisa umhlaba.”^[3]kusukela kwinoveli The Idiot Kanjani? Ngokuvuselela esintwini futhi ukulangazelela kanye nesifiso saKhe onguNobuhle uqobo lwaso. Mhlawumbe sikholwa ukuthi kuzoba ngukuxolisa okucwengisisiwe, izinkulumo ezijwayelekile, nezinkulumo ezinesibindi ezizomisa ukuguguleka kwezindinganiso zokuziphatha nokuthula ezikhathini zethu. Ngokudingekile njengoba zinjalo, kufanele sibuze lo mbuzo: ngubani ulalele futhi? Okudingekayo futhi ukugcwaliswa kabusha kwe- ubuhle okhuluma ngaphandle kwamagama.^[4]bheka Impendulo Ethule

Umngani wami wabelana ngokuthi, ngemuva kokushona kukayise, awekho amazwi ayengamduduza kulo lonke uthuthuva lwemizwa eyamqeda. Kodwa ngolunye usuku, wathenga isixha sezimbali, wasibeka phambi kwakhe, wabona ubuhle baso. Uthe lobo buhle, baqala ukumelapha.

Umngane wami, ongeyena umKatolika okhuthele ngempela, wangena eNotre Dame eParis, eFrance eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Uthe ngesikhathi ebuka ubuhle baleli sonto lombhishobhi, ayecabanga ukuthi, “Something bekuqhubeka lapha… ”Uhlangane noNkulunkulu, noma okungenani, ukubonakaliswa kokukhanya kukaNkulunkulu ngemisebe yobuhle… imisebe yethemba lokuthi kukhona okuthize, noma kunalokho, Umuntu omkhulu kunathi.

 

UBUHLE NOBUBI

Lokho umhlaba osethulela khona namuhla kuvame ukuba ubuhle bamanga. Siyabuzwa kweyethu izithembiso zokubhabhadisa, “Uyawalahla ubukhazikhazi bokubi?” Ububi namuhla buhle, kepha kuyaqabukela buba buhle.

Kaningi, nokho, ubuhle obugcinwa kithi buyinkohliso futhi buyakhohlisa, bukha phezulu futhi buyasiphazamisa, bushiya obukayo edidekile; esikhundleni sokumkhipha kuye nokumvulela umkhawulo wenkululeko yeqiniso njengoba imphakamisela phezulu, iyamvalela ngaphakathi kuye iphinde imgqilaze, imncishe ithemba nenjabulo…. Ubuhle bangempela, nokho, buvula ukulangazelela kwenhliziyo yomuntu, isifiso esijulile sokwazi, ukuthanda, ukuya kokunye, ukufinyelela okungaphezulu. Uma sivuma ukuthi ubuhle busithinta ngokuseduze, ukuthi busilimaza, ukuthi buvula amehlo ethu, bese siphinda sithola injabulo yokubona, yokukwazi ukuqonda incazelo ejulile yobukhona bethu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kubaculi, Novemba 22, 2009; IZENIT.org

Amanxeba wobuhle. Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Lapho sihlangana nobuhle beqiniso, kuhlale kuyinto kaNkulunkulu. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi sadalelwa yena, kusithinta ekujuleni kobuntu bethu, okungokwesikhathi ekubeni, wehlukaniswa yiveli lesikhathi kuYe-Who-Created-Me. Ngakho-ke, ubuhle lulimi lwayo uqobo, olwedlula wonke amasiko, abantu, ngisho nezinkolo. Empeleni yingakho isintu kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo besilokhu sithambekele enkolweni: ebuhleni bendalo uMdali, owavusa isifiso sokumkhonza, uma kungenjalo indalo uqobo.^[5]Ukukhohlisa kuyimbuka yokulinganisa uNkulunkulu nendalo, okuholela ekukhonzweni kwendalo. Futhi nalokhu kugqugquzele umuntu ukuthi abambe iqhaza kubuciko bukaNkulunkulu.

Iminyuziyamu yaseVictoria ingumgcinimafa emhlabeni ngoba imvamisa iqukethe ubuhle, ukugcwala kukaNkulunkulu okwadansa emphefumulweni womculi ovela kuzo zonke izingxenye zomhlaba. IVictoria ayibugadi lobu buciko ngendlela uHitler azithwebula ngayo futhi wayithatha. Esikhundleni salokho, uvikela lo mnotho womuntu njengombungazo womoya womuntu, yingakho uPapa Francis athi awusoze wathengiswa.

Lo ngumbuzo olula. Akuzona ingcebo zeBandla, (kepha) ingcebo yesintu. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Ingxoxo, Novemba 6, 2015; I-Catholic News Agency

Ubuhle bangempela buyakwazi ukusikhomba emuva kuMvelaphi wawo wonke amasiko nabantu lapho ihlangana khona kakhulu iqiniso futhi ubuhle. Njengoba uPhapha Benedict asho, “Indlela yobuhle isiholela ekuthini sibambe konke kulesisiqeshana, okungapheli ekugcineni, uNkulunkulu emlandweni wesintu.” ^[6]Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kubaculi, Novemba 22, 2009; IZENIT.org

Kepha namhlanje, ubuhle bobuciko bulahlekile ngesilo se-abstract; ubuhle ekwakhiweni kwesilo ezabelomali; ubuhle bomzimba esilo senkanuko; ubuhle bezinkolelo zesilo sesimanjemanje; ubuhle bomculo esilweni sokukhonza izithombe; ubuhle bemvelo esilweni sokuhaha; ubuhle bobuciko bokwenza isilo sasendle se-narcissism ne-vainglory.

Umhlaba esiphila kuwo usengozini yokushintshwa ngaphezu kokuqashelwa ngenxa yezenzo zabantu ezingenangqondo okuthi, esikhundleni sokuhlakulela ubuhle bawo, basebenzise kabi imithombo yayo ukuze kusizakale abambalwa hhayi njalo kungcolise izimangaliso zemvelo… 'Umuntu angaphila ngaphandle kwesayensi, angaphila ngaphandle kwesinkwa, kodwa ngaphandle kobuhle angabe esaphila… ' (ecaphuna uDostoevsky encwadini yakhe, Amademoni). —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kubaculi, Novemba 22, 2009; IZENIT.org

… Okudingwa yiBandla akusikho ukugxeka kepha kungamaciko… Uma izinkondlo zisenkingeni egcwele, okubalulekile akukhona ukukhomba izimbongi ngomunwe kodwa wena uqobo lwakho ukubhala izinkondlo ezinhle, ngaleyo ndlela uvule iziphethu ezingcwele. —UGeorges Bernanos, umbhali waseFrance; UBernanos: Ubukhona Benkolo, Ignatius Cindezela; kucashunwe ku- I-Magnificat, Okthoba 2018, k. 71

 

UKULULAMA UBUHLE

UNkulunkulu akafuni ukubuyisela uMlobokazi waKhe kuphela, iSonto, esimweni sobuhle nobungcwele, kodwa nayo yonke indalo. Ngamunye wethu unendima ayidlalayo kulezi zikhathi “ekubuyiselweni kwezinto zonke kuKrestu”, njengoba nje isibani ngasinye sokukhanya sakha uthingo: indima yakho ihlukile ngakho-ke ibalulekile.

Okudingekayo ukuvuselelwa kobuhle, hhayi kakhulu kulokho esikushoyo — yize iqiniso liboshelwe ebuhleni - kodwa Kanjani sithi. Kungukubuyiselwa kobuhle hhayi kuphela endleleni esigqoka ngayo kodwa nangendlela esiziphatha ngayo; hhayi kuphela kulokho esikuthengisayo kodwa nangendlela esibonisa ngayo izimpahla zethu; hhayi kulokhu esikuculayo kuphela, kodwa nokuthi sikucula kanjani. Kungukuzalwa kabusha kobuhle kwezobuciko, emculweni nasezincwadini okudlula okuphakathi uqobo. Kungukuvuselelwa kobuhle kwezocansi, yebo, kusipho esimangalisayo sobulili bethu esimboziwe futhi emaqabungeni omkhiwane wehlazo, ukuhlanekezela, nenkanuko. Ubuhle empeleni bubuhle bangaphandle bomphefumulo omsulwa.

Konke lokhu kukhuluma nge-a iqiniso lokho uqobo kukhuthazwa ubuhle. Ngoba “ngobukhulu nobuhle bezinto ezidaliwe kuvela umbono ohambisanayo woMdali wazo.” ^[7]qhathanisa Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 41

Ngisho nangaphambi kokuba aziveze kumuntu ngamazwi eqiniso, uNkulunkulu uziveza kuye ngolimi lwendalo yonke, umsebenzi weZwi lakhe, ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe: ukuhleleka nokuzwana kwendawo yonke — okutholwa yingane nososayensi— ”Ngobukhulu nobuhle bezinto ezidaliwe kuza umbono ohambisanayo woMdali wazo,” “ngoba umbhali wobuhle wazidala.” -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 2500

Ubuhle abukho benkolo. Okusho ukuthi, konke okudaliweyo "kuhle" ngokwendalo.^[8]isib. UGenesise 1:31 Kodwa isimo sethu esiwile nemiphumela yesono kukusithele futhi kwakuhlanekezela lokho ubuhle. Ukuba ngumKristu kungaphezu kokumane 'usindiswe.' Kusho ukugcwala kokudalwa ukuthi ungubani; kusho ukuba yisibuko seqiniso, ubuhle, nobuhle. Ngoba 'uNkulunkulu wadala umhlaba ukukhombisa nokuveza inkazimulo yakhe. Ukuthi izidalwa zakhe zihlanganyele eqinisweni lakhe, ebuhleni nasebuhleni bakhe — lena yinkazimulo uNkulunkulu ayidalele yona. '^[9]Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 319

Umkhuba wobuhle uhambisana nenjabulo engokomoya kanye nobuhle bokuziphatha. Ngokunjalo neqiniso liphethe injabulo nobukhazikhazi bobuhle bokomoya… Kepha iqiniso lingathola nezinye izindlela ezihambisanayo zokukhuluma komuntu, ngaphezu kwakho konke uma kuyindaba yokuveza okungaphezu kwamagama: ukujula kwenhliziyo yomuntu, ukuphakama umphefumulo, imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu. —Ibhid.

 

UKWENZA UBUHLE

USimone Weil wabhala: "Kukhona uhlobo lwesimo somuntu sikaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, okuyisibonakaliso sobuhle baso."^[10]isib. UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kubaculi, Novemba 22, 2009; IZENIT.org Ngamunye wethu ubizelwe ukuba sesimweni somuntu kaNkulunkulu ku-warp naku-woof yezimpilo zethu, avumele "injabulo yokomoya ezenzekelayo nobuhle bokuziphatha" kobuhle bukaNkulunkulu bukhuphuke kusukela ebuntwini bethu, kusukela Ngaphakathi. Ngakho-ke, ubuhle obuyiqiniso buqhamuka ekuthintaneni naYe uBeauty uqobo. UJesu wathi:

Noma ngubani owomile makeze kimi aphuze. Noma ngubani okholwa kimi, njengoba umbhalo usho, 'Kuyogeleza kuye imifula yamanzi aphilayo.' (Johane 7:38)

Siba njengaye kakhulu lapho sicabanga ngaye, siba sihle ngokwengeziwe lapho sicabanga ngobuhle. Umthandazo-ke, ngqo umkhuleko wokucabangisisa, iba yindlela esidonsa ngayo uMthombo Amanzi aphilayo. Ngakho-ke, phakathi nalesi Advent, ngifisa ukubhala okuningi ngokujula emthandazweni ukuze mina nawe siguquke ngokwengeziwe sifane Naye njengoba sibuka “ngobuso obembuliwe enkazimulweni yeNkosi.” ^[11]I-2 Cor 3: 18

Ubizelwa kule Counter-Revolution ngokumelene ne Ukuvukelwa Komhlaba efuna ukonakalisa ubuhle — ubuhle benkolo yeqiniso, ukwehluka kwamasiko, komehluko wethu wangempela futhi oyingqayizivele. Kodwa kanjani? Angikwazi ukukuphendulela lowo mbuzo. Udinga ukuphendukela kuKristu umcele Kanjani futhi ini. Ngoba "ngaphandle kokuthi iNkosi yakha indlu, basebenzela ize abakhi bayo." ^[12]IHubo 127: 1

Isikhathi se-Ministries siyaphela.

Ngiwazwile la magama ngokusobala enhliziyweni yami ngo-2011, futhi ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi uphinde ufunde lowo mbhalo lapha. Ukuphela akuyona inkonzo, ngese, kodwa izindlela nezindlela nezakhiwo eziningi umuntu azimisile ezigcine sezizithixo futhi zisekela ezingasawusebenzisi uMbuso. UNkulunkulu kufanele ahlanze iBandla Lakhe ekuthandeni izwe ukuze abuyisele ubuhle balo. Kuyadingeka ukulahla isikhumba esidala sewayini ukulungiselela iwayini elisha elizovuselela ubuso bomhlaba.

Ngakho-ke, cela uJesu noMama Wethu ukuthi bakusebenzise ukwenza umhlaba ube muhle futhi. Ngesikhathi sempi, bekuvame ukuba ngumculo ozenzekelayo, itiyetha, amahlaya nobuciko obusekele futhi banikeza ithemba kwabanyathelwe phansi. Lezi zipho zizodingeka ezikhathini ezizayo. Nokho, yeka ukuthi kudabukisa kanjani ukuthi abaningi kangaka basebenzise izipho zabo ukuze bazidumise! Sebenzisa izipho namathalente uBaba asewanikile ukuthi ubuyise ubuhle futhi emhlabeni. Ngoba lapho abanye behehwa ubuhle bakho, nabo bazobona ubuhle bakho, futhi umnyango uyovulelwa uJehova iqiniso.

Ubuhle obuyiqiniso… buvula ukulangazelela kwenhliziyo yomuntu, isifiso esijulile sokwazi, ukuthanda, ukuya kokunye, ukufinyelela okwedlulele. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kubaculi, Novemba 22, 2009; IZENIT.org 

 

UBUHLE BOTHANDO

Okokugcina, kunobuhle obuyindida obukhishwa kulowo ofela kuye. Isiphambano kungumbono owesabekayo ngasikhathi sinye… kepha, lapho umuntu ebuka incazelo yaso, ubuhle obuthile — ubuhle bothando olungenabugovu—Iqala ukungena emphefumulweni. Nansi enye imfihlakalo iBandla elibizelwa kulo: ukufel 'ukholo nokufelwa okungokwakhe.

ISonto alihlanganyeli nokuguqula abantu. Esikhundleni salokho, ukhula “ngokuhehwa”: njengoba noKrestu “edonsela bonke kuye” ngamandla othando lwakhe, afinyelela umhlatshelo weSiphambano, ngakho-ke iSonto lifeza ukuthunywa kwalo kuze kuthi, ngokubambisana noKristu, ufeza yonke imisebenzi yakhe ekulingiseni ngokomoya nangokoqobo kothando lweNkosi yakhe. —UBENEDICT XVI, Ohlonishwa Ngokuvulwa Kwengqungquthela Yesihlanu Yababhishobhi baseLatin America naseCaribbean, ngoMeyi 13, 2007; v Vatican.va

UNkulunkulu uluthando. Futhi-ke, ukuthanda ngumqhele wobuhle. Kwakunjalo lolu hlobo lothando olukhanyisa ubumnyama base-Auschwitz ekufel 'ukholo kukaSt. Maximilian Kolbe, lowo owaguqula ngokweqiniso iMpi Yezwe Yesibili.

Ngesikhathi sokuhlukunyezwa kwemicabango, imizwa kanye namazwi angakaze abonwe ngaphambili, umuntu waba yimpisi ehluphayo ebudlelwaneni bakhe namanye amadoda. Futhi kulesi simo kwenzeka ukuzidela kobuqhawe kukaBaba Kolbe. —I-akhawunti evela kowasinda, uJozef Stemler; auschwitz.dk/Kolbe.htm

Kwakufana nomgodi wokukhanya onamandla ebumnyameni bekamu. —I-akhawunti yomuntu owasinda, uJerzy Bielecki; Ibid.

USt. Maximilian Kolbe, okukhombisa ubuhle, sikhulekele.
