Isibhedlela Sezinsimu

BACK ngoJuni ka-2013, ngikubhalele ngezinguquko ebengizibona mayelana nenkonzo yami, ukuthi yethulwa kanjani, yini ethulwa njll ekubhalweni okubiziwe Ingoma Yomlindi. Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa ngicabanga, ngithanda ukuhlanganyela nawe engikubonile kulokho okwenzeka emhlabeni wethu, izinto engizixoxe nomqondisi wami wezomoya, nalapho ngizizwa ngisiwa khona manje. Ngifuna futhi ukumema okokufaka kwakho okuqondile ngenhlolovo esheshayo ngezansi.

SIKUPHI EMHLABENI?

Ngo-Okthoba ka-2012, ngabelana nawe amagama athile maqondana nesikhathi esikuso emhlabeni (bheka Isikhathi Esincane Esisele). Lokho kulandelwe kulo nyaka odlule nge Ihora leNkemba, lapho ngaphoqeleka ukuba ngixwayise khona ukuthi sisondela esikhathini sokungezwani nobudlova phakathi kwezizwe. Noma ngubani olandela izihloko zezindaba namuhla uyabona ukuthi umhlaba uqhubeka nendlela yempi eyingozi njengoba i-Iran, iChina, iNorth Korea, iSyria, iRussia, i-United States nezinye izizwe ziqhubeka nokukhulisa inkulumo-mpi kanye / noma nomsebenzi. Lokhu kuxabana kuye kwaqina kakhulu njengoba umnotho womhlaba, manje osuyisiphefumula, ungakhombisi ukushaya ngamandla ngenxa yalokho uPapa Francis akubiza ngokuthi 'inkohlakalo', 'ukukhonza izithombe', kanye 'nobushiqela' bohlelo lwezezimali lomhlaba jikelele. ^[1]qhathanisa U-Evangelii Gaudium,n. 55-56

Uma kukhona isiphithiphithi esingokomoya kubantu ngabanye, kufaniswa nokuxokozela emvelweni. Izimpawu nezimangaliso ziyaqhubeka nokuvezwa ngejubane eliphefumulayo lapho umkhathi, umhlaba, izilwandle, isimo sezulu kanye nezidalwa ziqhubeka “ukububula” ngezwi elifanayo lokuthi “konke akuhambi kahle.”

Kodwa ngiyakholelwa ngokuqinile, bazalwane nodade, ukuthi isikhathi sokuxwayisa ingxenye enkulu, iphelile. Kokunye ukufundwa kokuqala eMiseni kuleli sonto, sizwa “ngemibhalo esodongeni.” ^[2]bheka Ukuloba Odongeni Sekungamashumi eminyaka, noma kungengamakhulu eminyaka manje, iNkosi yenze ukungenelela okungakaze kube khona kokuthumela uMama Obusisiwe ekubonakaleni ngemuva kokubonakala kokubiza izingane zakhe ekhaya. Lezi zixwayiso, kodwa-ke, azinakwa kakhulu njengoba umhlaba usugijimela ehlelweni lomhlaba omusha olunobukhulu nokufana kweSilo sikaDaniel nesAmbulo. Konke engiqale ukukubhala eminyakeni eyi-8 eyedlule kuzogcwaliseka ngejubane elikhulu.

Futhi-ke, isikhathi sethu sihluke kakhulu kunesikhathi sikaNkulunkulu. Ngikhunjuzwa masinyane ngomfanekiso wezintombi eziyishumi ezinabahlanu kuphela kubo abanamafutha anele ezibanini zabo. Futhi, uJesu usitshela ukuthi “balele bonke balale." ^[3]I-Matt 25: 5  Ngikholwa ukuthi sikuleso sikhathi manje lapho sazi khona ukuthi cishe sekuphakathi kwamabili… kodwa amakholwa amaningi ayalala. Ngiqonde ukuthini? Ukuthi abaningi badonselwa ku- umoya wezwe, kancane ikhathazwe ubukhazikhazi bobubi obusikhanyisela kabuhlungu kuzo zonke izinhlangothi. Lawa ngamanye amagama okuqala kaPhapha uFrancis Wokukhuthaza Abaphostoli:

Ingozi enkulu ezweni lanamuhla, eligcwele njengoba kuthengwa ngabathengi, yincithakalo nosizi  ozelwe yinhliziyo enganaki kodwa ehahayo, ukuphishekela umkhuhlane wezinjabulo ezingenangqondo, kanye nonembeza ongenalutho. Noma nini lapho impilo yethu yangaphakathi iba nezifiso zayo kanye nokukhathazeka, akusekho ndawo yabanye, ayisekho indawo yabampofu. Izwi likaNkulunkulu alisazwakali, injabulo ethule yothando lwakhe ayisazwakali, futhi isifiso sokwenza okuhle siyaphela. Lokhu kuyingozi impela nakumakholwa. Abaningi baba yizisulu zaso, futhi bagcina sebenolaka, bethukuthele futhi bengenalutho. Leyo akuyona indlela yokuphila impilo ehloniphekile nenelisekile; akusiyo intando kaNkulunkulu ngathi, futhi akuyona impilo eseMoyeni enomthombo wayo enhliziyweni kaKristu ovukile. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, Isikhuthazo sabaphostoli, Novemba 24, 2013; n. 2

Kungubuthongo bethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu okusenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi… 'ubuthongo' bungobethu, babo thina esingafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi asifuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, General Audience, Vatican City, Apr 20, 2011, Catholic News Agency

Kungenxa yalokhu ukuthi inkonzo yami idinga ukuthatha indlela entsha.

ISIBHEDLELA SASENSIMINI

Siphila ezweni elithanda abathengi, elinezithombe zocansi nelinodlame. Imithombo yethu yezokuzijabulisa nokuzijabulisa kuqhubeka kusihlasela ngalezo zingqikimba ngomzuzu, ihora nehora. Ukulimala lokhu okwenze emindenini, ukwahlukana okudalile, amanxeba akwenzile kwezinye zezinceku zikaKristu ezithembeke kakhulu akubalulekile. Yiso kanye lesi sizathu esenza umlayezo Wesihe Saphezulu unikezwe isikhathi saleli hora; kungani idayari kaSt Faustina isakaza umlayezo wayo omuhle womusa ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni wonke (funda Isiphephelo Esikhulu Netheku Eliphephile).

Sihlala sizwa emithonjeni yezindaba ukuthi uPapa Francis uthathe ithoni ehluke kakhulu kulabo ababengaphambi kwakhe — ukuthi usukile ekuhlanzekeni kwezimfundiso zamapapa adlule ngefilosofi “ebandakanya bonke”. UBenedict upendwe njengoScrooge, uFrancis njengoSanta Claus. Kepha lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umhlaba awuqondi futhi awuboni ubukhulu bokomoya bempi yamasiko eyenzekile. UPope Francis akasasuki kulabo abebengaphambi kwakhe njengoba nosomatekisi esukile lapho eya khona ngokuthatha enye indlela.

Kusukela ekuguqulweni kwezocansi ngeminyaka yama-1960, iSonto kuye kwadingeka ukuthi liqhubeke nokuzivumelanisa nezinguquko ezisheshayo emphakathini, ezisheshiswe kakhulu ubuchwepheshe. Ifune ukuthi iSonto liphikisane nemibono yamanga nabaprofethi bamanga bezikhathi zethu ngemfundiso yenkolo efanelekile yokuziphatha. Kepha manje, ukulimala kwempi phakathi kwesiko lokuphila kanye namasiko okufa kuza ngomthwalo wendiza enophephela emhlane. ISonto kumele lithathe enye indlela:

Ngibona ngokusobala ukuthi into ibandla eliyidinga kakhulu namuhla yikhono lokupholisa amanxeba nokufudumeza izinhliziyo zabathembekile; idinga ukusondela, ukusondela. Ngibona isonto njengesibhedlela sensimu ngemuva kwempi. Akusizi ngalutho ukubuza umuntu olimale kabi ukuthi une-cholesterol ephezulu yini nokuthi unjani ngezinga likashukela egazini lakhe! Kufanele umpholise amanxeba. Ngemuva kwalokho singakhuluma ngakho konke okunye. Philisa amanxeba, upholise amanxeba…. Futhi kufanele uqale phansi phansi. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, uxoxisana naye I-AmelikaMagazine.com, Septhemba 30th, 2013

Qaphela ukuthi uPapa Francis ugcizelela ukuthi "lesi sibhedlela sasensimini" esenzelweethembekile… Ngemuva kwempi. ” Asibhekene nenkinga yomkhuhlane lapha, kepha siphulwe imilenze namanxeba aqhekekile! Lapho sizwa izibalo ezinjengama-64% wamadoda angamaKristu abuka izithombe zocansi, ^[4]qhathanisa Uchungechunge Lokunqoba, UJeremy & Tiana Wiles Siyazi ukuthi kunabantu abalimala kanzima abangena enkundleni yempi yomndeni kanye nemiphakathi.

INKONZO YAMI IYA PHAMBILI

Ngisho nangaphambi kokuba kukhethwe uPapa Francis, kwakukhona umqondo ojulile emphefumulweni wami ukuthi inkonzo yami yayidinga ukugxila kakhulu ekuletheni ukuholwa nokusizwa emiphefumulweni indlela yokuphila usuku nosuku kusiko lanamuhla. Lokho abantu badinga ubuqiniso ngethemba Ngaphezu kwakho konke. Ukuthi iSonto LamaKristu alisathokozi, nokuthi thina (nami) sidinga ukuthola kabusha uMthombo wethu wangempela wenjabulo.

Ngifisa ukukhuthaza amakholwa athembekile ukuthi aqale isahluko esisha sokushunyayelwa kwevangeli esiphawuleka yile njabulo, ngenkathi ngikhombisa izindlela ezintsha zohambo lweBandla eminyakeni ezayo. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, Isikhuthazo sabaphostoli, Novemba 24, 2013; n. 1

Kimina uqobo, umyalezo kaPapa Francis ubulokhu ukuqhubekela phambili kwangaphakathi nalokho okushiwo nguMoya oNgcwele ku Isonto namuhla futhi ngaleyo ndlela isiqinisekiso esihle sokuthi le nkonzo idinga ukuya kuphi.

Lokhu, empeleni, kubuza umbuzo wokuthi zithini ngezexwayiso engizinikeze isikhathi nesikhathi kule minyaka eyisishiyagalombili edlule, futhi engisazophinde ngize? Njengenjwayelo, ngilwela ukubhala lokho engikuzwayo Nkosi ufuna, hhayi lokhu engikufunayo. Kwesinye isikhathi lapho abalimele bengena esibhedlela senkambu enkundleni yempi, bayabuza, "Kwenzekeni nje?" Badidekile, badidekile, badidekile. Singalindela le mibuzo ngokuzayo njengoba umnotho uwa, ubudlova buqubuka, inkululeko ithathwa, neSonto lishushiswa. Ngakho-ke yebo, kuzoba nemikhosi engilindele ukuthi okwenzekayo emhlabeni wethu kudinga ukudwetshwa ngezikhathi ezithile ukusiza ukuchaza ukuthi sikuphi nokuthi siyaphi.

UMPHAKATHI

Umbuzo engike ngalwa nawo kakhulu kulo nyaka uthi Kanjani iNkosi ifuna ngiqhubeke nale nkonzo. Ngokude, izethameli ezinkulu kakhulu ziku-inthanethi ngale mibhalo. Izithameli ezincane kunazo zonke, kude kakhulu, zisemicimbini ebukhoma nezingqungquthela. Izindawo ezibukhoma zimane ziyancipha futhi zincipha zize zifike ezingeni lokuthi akusiso ukusetshenziswa kahle kwesikhathi sami noma izinsizakusebenza zokuqhubeka nokuhamba lapho bembalwa abaphuma beza kule micimbi. Izithameli zesibili ngobukhulu zine-webcasts yami ku- I-EmbracingHope.tv

Into eyodwa ebengithandaza ngayo iminyaka eminingana, empeleni, ukuhlinzeka abafundi ngokuzindla nsuku zonke noma okungenani kaningi ngokufundwa kweMisa. Hhayi i-homily, ukucabanga nje komuntu ojwayelekile. Ngangizama ukukugcina kufushane futhi ngiye ephuzwini lokuthi lapho ukufundwa kwami ​​okuvamile kuthambekele ekunikezeni umongo wenkolo ethile.

Enye into ebengithandaza ngayo ukuhlinzeka ngohlobo oluthile lwe-audiocast noma i-podcast.

Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngilwe nobunzima bokuthi ngiqhubeke noma cha ama-webcasts. Ngabe lokhu kuwusizo kuwe? Ingabe unayo isikhathi sokubabuka?

Futhi okokugcina, yiqiniso, umculo wami, oyisisekelo senkonzo yami. Ingabe uyazi ngakho? Ngabe iyakusebenzela?

Le yimibuzo engithemba ukuthi uzothatha isikhashana ukuyiphendula kunhlolovo engaziwa ngezansi, ukungisiza ngithole kangcono ukuthi ikondla ngani ukudla okungokomoya, nokuthi yini engekho. Udinga ini? Ngingakusiza kanjani? Yini ehlinza amanxeba akho…?

Iphuzu lakho konke lokhu ukusho ukuthi ngibona sekuyisikhathi sokusetha insimu isibhedlela; ukukhipha izindonga ezimbalwa, ukubuyisela emuva ifenisha ethile, nokusetha amayunithi wokulinganisa. Ngoba abalimele bayeza lapha. Bafika emnyango wami, futhi ngibona ngaphezu kwanoma yini, badinga isiqinisekiso sikaJesu, imishanguzo ephulukisayo kaMoya, nezingalo eziduduzayo zikaBaba.

Ngokwami, ngiyasidinga lesi sibhedlela senkambu. Njengawo wonke umuntu, kuye kwadingeka ngibhekane nalonyaka odlule ngengcindezi yezezimali, ukwehlukana kwemindeni, ukucindezelwa ngokomoya njll.
