Isisekelo Sokholo

LAPHO Kuningi okwenzekayo emhlabeni wethu namuhla ukuzamazamisa ukholo lwamakholwa. Ngempela, kuya ngokuya kuba nzima ukuthola imiphefumulo ehlala iqinile okholweni lwayo lobuKristu ngaphandle kokuyekethisa, ingapheli amandla, ngaphandle kokuvumela izingcindezi nezilingo zomhlaba. Kepha lokhu kuphakamisa umbuzo: ukholo lwami ngempela luzoba yini? ISonto? UMariya? AmaSakramente…?

Kufanele siyazi impendulo yalo mbuzo ngoba izinsuku sezifikile futhi ziyeza lapho konke okusizungezile kuzonyakaziswa. Konke. Izikhungo zezezimali, ohulumeni, ukuhleleka komphakathi, imvelo, yebo, ngisho neBandla uqobo. Uma ukukholwa kwethu kusendaweni engafanele, nakho-ke nakho kuzobeka engcupheni yokuwa ngokuphelele.

Ukholo lwethu kufanele lube phakathi UJesu. UJesu uyisisekelo sokholo lwethu, noma kufanele abe njalo.

Lapho iNkosi yethu iphendukela kubafundi ukuba ibabuze ukuthi abantu bathi iNdodana yoMuntu ngubani, uPetru waphendula wathi:

“UnguMesiya, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.” UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Ubusisiwe wena Simoni kaJona. Ngoba inyama negazi akukuvezelanga lokhu, kepha uBaba osezulwini. Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe, unguPetru, futhi phezu kwaleli dwala ngizokwakha ibandla lami, futhi amasango endawo yasemhlabeni ngeke alinqobe. ” (Math 16: 16-18)

Siyabona ukuthi umsebenzi kaPetru, wakhe ukukholwa kuJesu, waba yidwala lapho iSonto lalizokwakhiwa phezu kwalo. Kodwa uJesu akazange asebenze ngezifushaniso; Wayehlose ngempela ukwakha iBandla Lakhe phezu komuntu, “isikhundla” sikaPetru, yingakho-ke nanamuhla silapha, opapa abangama-267 kamuva. Kodwa uSt. Paul uyanezela:

… Akekho ongabeka isisekelo ngaphandle kwalesi esikhona, okungukuthi, uJesu Kristu. (1 Kor. 3:11)

Lokho kusho ukuthi, kunokuthile okukhulu okwakungaphansi kukaPeter, idwala, futhi lowo kwakunguJesu, itshe legumbi.

Bheka, ngibeka eSiyoni itshe esivivinyiwe, itshe legumbi eliyigugu njengesisekelo esiqinisekile; noma ngubani obeka ukholo kuyo ngeke antengantenge. (Isaya 28:16)

Ngoba ngisho noPeter wahluleka; ngisho noPetru wona. Impela, uma ukukholwa kwethu bekuzothembela kuPetru, khona-ke sizoba yisigejane esidangele ukuqiniseka. Cha, isizathu sikaPeter neBandla kwakungekhona ukusinikeza into esiyikholelwayo, kepha kunalokho ukubonakaliswa okubonakalayo koMakhi uqobo emsebenzini. Lokho kusho ukuthi wonke amaqiniso, bonke ubukhazikhazi bobuciko bobuKristu, izincwadi, izakhiwo, umculo kanye nemfundiso kumane kukhombe kokuthile, noma kunalokho, Othile omkhulu, lowo nguJesu.

UJesu lo uyitshe elaliwa nina bakhi, eliselaba yinhloko yegumbi. Futhi ayikho insindiso komunye, ngoba alikho elinye igama phansi kwezulu elinikezwe phakathi kwabantu esifanele ukusindiswa ngalo. (IzEnzo 4: 11-12)

Yingakho ngithi bekufanele sazi kangcono ukuthi singabeka kuphi ukukholwa kwethu kulezi zinsuku zokuhlanzwa nokujeziswa okuphezu kwethu. Ngoba ukusithwa kweqiniso nokucabanga namuhla akugcini ngokushiya isithunzi esikhulu eBandleni, kepha bafuna ukuliqeda nya. Ngisho namanje, lezi zinto esengizibalile ngenhla azikho ezizweni eziningi emhlabeni — izindawo lapho kuhlelwa khona amaqiniso enkolo futhi lokho kubonakaliswa kwangaphandle kobuhle bukaKristu kuhlala kufihliwe ezinhliziyweni zamakholwa enqabeni yethemba.

Ngenkathi uJesu ebonakala kuSt Faustina, embula ukuthi umyalezo waKhe Wesihe Saphezulu kuye “Isibonakaliso sezikhathi zokuphela” ukuthi “Ngizolungiselela umhlaba ukufika Kwami kokugcina,” ^[1]UJesu kuSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, IDayari, n. 848, 429 Akazange amshiye nencwadi yezimfundiso, i-encyclical noma ikhathekizimu. Kunalokho, wamshiya namagama amathathu angasindisa umhlaba:

UJezu Ufam Tobie

okuhumusha kusuka ePoland kuye kusi:

Jesu ngithemba wena.

Cabanga nje! Ngemuva kweminyaka engama-2000 yokwakha iBandla Lakhe, ikhambi lesintu lihlale lilula njengoba lalinjalo ekuqaleni: igama likaJesu.

Impela, uSt. Peter waphrofetha ngokunyakaziswa komhlaba lapho ithemba elilodwa kuphela elizoba yilabo ababiza ngokukholwa eGameni ngaphezu kwawo wonke amagama.

Ilanga liyakuphendulwa libe mnyama, nenyanga ibe ligazi, lungakafiki usuku olukhulu nolukhazimulayo lweNkosi, futhi kuyakusindiswa wonke umuntu obiza igama leNkosi. (IzEnzo 2: 20-21)

Akukho nokukodwa kwalokhu okufanele kuthi, iSonto alibalulekile; ukuthi uMama Wethu Obusisiwe akabalulekile; lelo qiniso alisebenzi. Cha, okubanikeza ukubaluleka yilokho igama likaKristu. Ngempela, uJesu uyi IZwi lenziwa inyama. UJesu nezwi lakhe bayinto eyodwa. Ngakho-ke lapho uJesu ethi uzokwakha iSonto, siyakholelwa eBandleni ngoba uyalakha. Lapho ethi kufanele sithathe uMariya njengomama wethu, simthatha ngoba usinike yena. Uma esiyala ukuba sibhabhadise, sihlephule iSinkwa, sivume, siphilise, futhi sigcobe, senza kanjalo ngoba iZwi likhulumile. Ukholo lwethu lukuye, futhi siyalalela ngoba ukulalela kungubufakazi bokholo.

Singabona ababhishobhi kanye nokhadinali bewa enkolweni yamaKhatholika. Kepha sizohlala singanyakaziswa ngoba ukholo lwethu lukuJesu, hhayi abantu. Singawabona amasonto ethu edilikelwa ezisekelweni, kepha sizohlala singanyakaziswa ngoba ukholo lwethu lukuJesu, hhayi izakhiwo. Singabona obaba bethu, omama, odadewethu nabafowethu besiphendukela, kepha sizohlala singanyakaziswa ngoba ukukholwa kwethu kukuJesu, hhayi inyama negazi. Singabona okuhle kubizwa ngokubi nokubi kubizwa okuhle, kepha sizohlala singanyakaziswa ngoba ukholo lwethu lusezwini likaKristu, hhayi izwi labantu.

Kepha niyamazi na? Uyakhuluma Naye? Ngabe uhamba Naye? Ngoba uma ungakwenzi, ungamethemba kanjani? Kuzofika iphuzu lapho sekwephuze kakhulu kwabanye abantu, lapho ukuzamazama kungashiyi lutho futhi konke okwakhiwe esihlabathini kuzothathwa.

Uma umuntu akha kulesi sisekelo ngegolide, nesiliva, namatshe ayigugu, ngokhuni, ngotshani, noma ngotshani, umsebenzi walowo nalowo uzobonakala, ngoba uSuku luzokuveza lokho. Iyokwembulwa ngomlilo, futhi umlilo ngokwawo uyovivinya ikhwalithi yomsebenzi walowo nalowo. (1 Kor. 3: 12-13)

Kepha nazi izindaba ezinhle: awudingi ukuba yisazi sebhayibheli, isazi semfundiso yenkolo noma umpristi ukubiza igama lakhe. Akudingeki nokuthi ube ngumKatolika. Udinga nje ukuthi ube nokholo — futhi uzokuzwa — futhi wenze okunye.
