Ukulungiswa Okuhlanu

UJesu ulahlwa ngu UMichael D. O'Brien

 

THIS Isonto, ukufundwa kweMisa kuqala ukugxila eNcwadini yeSambulo. Ngikhunjuzwa ngokuguquka okumangalisayo kwemicimbi kimi uqobo emuva ku-2014.

ISinodi emndenini ibisiqala ukusongwa ngesiphithiphithi sokudideka nokungezwani. Ngasikhathi sinye, ngangilokhu ngikuzwa ngokuqinile enhliziyweni yami ukuthi siphila izinhlamvu eziya emabandleni kusAmbulo. Lapho ekugcineni uPapa Francis ekhuluma ekugcineni kweSinodi, angizange ngikukholwe engangikuzwa: njengoba nje noJesu ajezisa ezinhlanu yamasonto ayisikhombisa akuSambulo, kanjalo futhi, uPapa Francis wenza ezinhlanu ukhuza iSonto lendawo yonke, kufaka phakathi umyalo obalulekile kuye.

Ukufana kuyamangalisa, futhi kungukuvuka kwehora esiphila kulo…

Isambulo sikaJesu Kristu… ukukhombisa izinceku zakhe okumele kwenzeke kungekudala… Ubusisiwe ofunda ngokuzwakalayo futhi ubusisiwe labo abalalela lemilayezo yesiprofetho futhi balalele okubhalwe kuyo, ngoba isikhathi esimisiwe siseduze. (Ukufundwa kweMisa kokuqala kwanamuhla, IsAm 1: 1-3)

 

IZILUNGISO EZINHLANU

I. EBandleni lase-Efesu, uJesu waxwayisa labo ababengqongqo, ababevalelwe emthethweni kunokuba bathandane:

Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nomshikashika wakho, nokubekezela kwakho, nokuthi awukwazi ukubekezelela ababi; uvivinye labo abazibiza ngabaphostoli kodwa bengesibo, wathola ukuthi bangabakhohlisi… Kepha nginale nto ngawe: ulahlekelwe uthando owawunalo ekuqaleni. Bona ukuthi wehle kangakanani… (Isambulo Izahluko 2 & 3)

Ekhuluma nababhishobhi “abagcina imithetho” eSinodi, uPapa Francis waveza isilingo sokuthi…

… Ukungaguquguquki kobutha, okungukuthi, ukufuna ukuzivalela ngaphakathi kwegama elilotshiwe, (incwadi) futhi ungazivumeli ukuba umangale uNkulunkulu, nguNkulunkulu wezimanga, (umoya); ngaphakathi komthetho, ngaphakathi kokuqiniseka kwalokho esikwaziyo hhayi kwalokho esisadinga ukukufunda nokuzuza. Kusukela esikhathini sikaKristu, kuyisilingo sabantu abashisekayo, abanobuhlakani, abanxanxathela nababizwa - namuhla - “osiko lwendabuko” kanye nongqondongqondo. -I-Catholic News Agency, Okthoba 18, 2014

II. Ukulungiswa kwesibili kungokwalabo "abakhululekile" eSontweni Lakhe. UJesu ubhalela amaPeragamumians, evuma ukukholwa kwabo kuye, kepha izimfundiso eziyimbuka abazivumile:

… Ubambelela ngokuqinile egameni lami futhi awuluphikanga ukholo lwakho kimi ... Nokho nginezinto ezimbalwa ngawe. Unabantu abathile lapho ababambelela emfundisweni kaBalami… Ngokunjalo, futhi unabantu abathile ababambelele emfundisweni yamaNikolawu.

Yebo, labo abavumele ukuhlubuka kwesikhashana ukuthi bangene ukuze khanga kwabasemhlabeni. Kulaba futhi, uPapa Francis waxwayisa ngalokhu:

Isilingo sokuthambekela kokulimaza kokulunga, okuthi egameni lomusa okhohlisayo kubopha amanxeba ngaphandle kokuqala ukuwalapha nokuwalapha; elapha izimpawu hhayi izimbangela nezimpande. Kuyisilingo "sabenza okuhle," sabantu abesabayo, kanye nalabo okuthiwa "abathuthukayo nabakhululekile."

III. Futhi-ke uJesu ukhuza labo abazivalela emisebenzini yabo ukuthi, kunokuba bakhiqize isithelo sikaMoya, bakhiqize ukufa kwamakhaza.

Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi unedumela lokuthi uyaphila, kepha ufile. Qaphela futhi uqinise okusele okuzokufa, ngoba angiyitholanga imisebenzi yakho iphelele emehlweni kaNkulunkulu wami.

Kanjalo futhi, uPapa Francis uxwayise ababhishobhi ngesilingo esifanayo ngemisebenzi efile nengaphelele eyenza okubi kakhulu kwabanye kunokuhle:

Isilingo sokuguqula amatshe abe yisinkwa ukuhlephula ukuzila okude, okusindayo nobuhlungu (cf. Lk 4: 1-4); futhi nokuguqula isinkwa sibe yitshe bese usiphonsa ngokumelene nezoni, ababuthakathaka, nabagulayo (jn 8: 7), okungukuthi, ukuyiguqula ibe yimithwalo engabekezeleleki (Luk 11:46).

IV. UJesu ufinyelela ekukhuthazeni labo abazibophezela emisebenzini emikhulu yothando nomsebenzi-esingakubiza ngomsebenzi wezenhlalakahle noma imisebenzi "yobulungiswa nokuthula". Kodwa-ke iNkosi ibasola ngokuvuma umoya wokukhonza izithombe, wokugoba ku umoya wezwe phakathi kwazo.

Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nothando, nokukholwa, nokusebenza, nokubekezela kwakho, nokuthi imisebenzi yakho yokugcina mikhulu kuneyokuqala. Nokho nginalokhu ngawe, ukuthi ubekezelela owesifazane uJezebeli, ozibiza ngokuthi ungumprofethikazi, ofundisa futhi adukise izinceku zami ukuba zifebe futhi zidle okuhlatshelwe izithombe.

Ngokunjalo, uBaba oNgcwele ukhuze labo bhishobhi asebenze bathambisa iVangeli ukuze balinambithe “njengokudla kwezithombe.”

Isilingo sokwehla esiphambanweni, ukujabulisa abantu, futhi ungahlali lapho, ukuze ufeze intando kaBaba; ukukhothamela umoya wasemhlabeni esikhundleni sokuwuhlanza nokuwugobisa kuMoya kaNkulunkulu.

V. Futhi okokugcina amazwi eNkosi yethu aphikisana "nesivivi", kulabo abanciphisa ukholo.

Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho; Ngiyazi ukuthi awubandi futhi awushisi. Ngifisa sengathi ngabe uyabanda noma ushise. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuthi usivivi, awushisi futhi awubandi, ngizokukhafula uphume emlonyeni wami.

Laba, kusho uPapa Francis, yilabo abanciphisa idiphozi yokholo, noma labo abasho okuningi, kodwa lutho!

Isilingo sokunganakiidiphozi fidei ”[Ukubekwa kokholo], bengazicabangi bona njengabalindi kodwa bengabaninizo noma bengamakhosi [alo]; noma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, isilingo sokunganaki iqiniso, ukusebenzisa ulimi oluqaphelayo nolimi lokushelelisa ukusho izinto eziningi kangaka nokungasho lutho!

 

UKULUNGISELELA ISIFISO

Bafowethu nodadewethu, siphila iNcwadi yeSambulo, okuwukumbulwa kothando lweBandla ngokombono kaSt.

Ngaphambi kokuza kwesibili kukaKristu iBandla kumele lidlule esivivinyweni sokugcina esizonyakazisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaningi. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 675

"Ukuzamazama" kuqala ngomyalezo ovela kuKristu — futhi manje UMmeli KaKristu—"kwabalondolozayo" kanye "nenkululeko" ngokufanayo phenduka.

Qaphela, bazalwane nodade, kwakungumbhishobhi “okhululekile” owakhaphela uJesu eSidlweni Sokugcina… kodwa “kwakungabalindi” abayishumi nanye abambalekela eNsimini. Kwakuyisiphathimandla sikahulumeni esisodwa “esinenkululeko” esasayina incwadi kaKristu yokufa, kodwa abaFarisi “ababegcina isiko” abafuna ukubethelwa. Futhi mhlawumbe kwakungumuntu “ocebile ovulekile” owanikela ngethuna lakhe ukuze kutholakale umzimba kaKristu, hhayi “abagcina imikhuba” abagingqa itshe phezu kwalo. Cabanga ngalokhu, ikakhulukazi njengoba uzwa amaKrestu akanye nawe abiza uPapa ngembuka.

Ngakhala lapho ngifunda amazwi kaJesu namhlanje ekuseni. Sengathi lonke iSonto lingakhala namuhla ngoba umhlaba ubungeke ube semkhawulweni Wokwahlulela uma we Babengahlukaniswanga kangako, behlulelana, bengathembeki futhi bengathembeki, beqinile, befudumele, besembhedeni noJezabeli, bezenzisa. Nginecala njenganoma ubani.

Nkosi yiba nomusa eBandleni lakho. Woza masisha uzopholisa amanxeba akhe…

Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ngendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukulalela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Petru 4:17)

UPapa, kulo mongo, akayona inkosi ephakeme kodwa kunalokho uyinceku ephezulu - "inceku yezinceku zikaNkulunkulu"; isiqinisekiso sokulalela nokuvumelana kweSonto nentando kaNkulunkulu, iVangeli likaKristu, kanye neNkambiso yeSonto, ukubeka eceleni yonke imicabango yomuntu siqu, ngaphandle kokuba - ngentando kaKrestu uqobo - "uMfundisi ophakeme noMfundisi wabo bonke abathembekile" futhi naphezu kokujabulela "amandla aphakeme, aphelele, asheshayo, futhi ajwayelekile eSontweni". —UPapa uFrancis, ephetha inkulumo kwiSinodi; I-Catholic News Agency, Okthoba 18, 2014 (ukugcizelela kwami)
