UFRANCIS: UMUNTU NGAPHANDLE KWEBHOKISI

Kuyamangaza impela ukuthi indoda eyodwa ingadala kanjani udlakela olunjalo ngezenzo zalo, ubumpofu bokuzithandela, kanye nokwenza lula kwevangeli. Yebo, uSt. Francis waqala inguquko lapho akhumula ngokoqobo izingubo zakhe, wanika ingcebo yakhe, waqala ukulandela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu. Kuze kube namuhla, akubanga khona omunye usanta oye wasiphonsela inselelo yokuthola injabulo yangempela nenjabulo ngokuphila ngokuphikisana nomoya wezwe.

Kwakunokuthile okungokwesiprofetho ngokushesha lapho uKhadinali Jorge Mario Bergoglio ememezela ukuthi ukhethe “uFrancis” njengesiqu sakhe sobupapa. Kwaphinda kwajula emphefumulweni wami, kudala ngaphambi kokuba ngibone ubuso bakhe noma ngizwe amazwi akhe okuqala. Kwenzeka ukuthi ngesikhathi ekhethwa, ngangiwela umgwaqo oyiqhwa enyakatho yeManitoba ukuyokwenza imishini endaweni yabampofu yomdabu. Ngenkathi silapho, amanye amagama okuqala kaPapa aqala ukuvela…

O, ngingathanda kanjani iBandla elimpofu, kanye nabampofu. - Mashi 16, 2013, iVatican City, Reuters

Kusukela lapho, ukhombisile ezintweni azikhethele zona — kusuka ezigqokeni zakhe, lapho ahlala khona, ezimotweni zakhe zokuhamba, emotweni ahamba ngayo, ezintweni ashumayele ngazo… umbono ngokusobala anakho ngeSonto ... iSonto elimpofu. Yebo, uma iNhloko yayimpofu, ngabe noMzimba bekungafanele ufane naYe?

Izimpungushe zinemigodi nezinyoni zezulu zinezidleke, kepha iNdodana yomuntu ayinandawo yokuphumula ikhanda. (Math 8:20)

Ubize abapristi ikakhulukazi ukuthi basenqabe isilingo sokucabanga ukuthi bazojabula uma bene "smartphone yakamuva, imoto esheshayo esheshayo nemoto ejika amakhanda." ^[1]Julayi 8th, 2013, Catholicnews.com Kunalokho,

Kuleli zwe lapho ingcebo ilimaza khona, kuyadingeka thina bapristi, thina manazaretha, sonke sihambisana nobuphofu bethu. —POPE FRANCIS, Julayi 8, 2013, iVatican City, Catholicnews.com

Sonke, uthe.

UPapa uphakamisa umbono onamandla, waseBhayibhelini wokuthi iSonto lidinga ukubukeka kanjani kulelihora emhlabeni — futhi ngamafuphi, kungcono okuyiqiniso. Futhi okumenza abe neqiniso kulapho umhlaba ubona amandla akhe enikelwe ekwakheni uMbuso kaNkulunkulu, hhayi umbuso wakho uqobo. Lokhu mhlawumbe yingakho umhlaba ungasawukholwa umyalezo weVangeli: babona amaKhatholika ephishekela ingcebo, amagajethi, amawayini amahle, izimoto ezintsha, izindlu ezinkudlwana, amacebo wokuthatha umhlalaphansi, izimpahla ezinhle… futhi bakhuluma bodwa, “La maKhatholika awabukeki sengathi aphilela izwe elizayo…. mhlawumbe ayikho ngempela. ” Okudonse abantu kuSt.Francis (nakuJesu uqobo) ukuthi wazidela ngokuphelele ngezinto zomhlaba, futhi wagcwala uthando lukaYise. Lolu thando, walunikela ngokuphelele, engacabangi lutho ngaye. Njengoba iNceku kaNkulunkulu uCatherine Doherty esho,

Uthando alunamkhawulo. Uthando lobuKrestu luvumela uKrestu ukuthi athande ngezinhliziyo zethu… Lokho kusho ukuzikhipha ebugqilini bethu, kusuka esifiso sokuthi zonke izidingo zethu zifezeke. Kusho ukuthi siba matasa ngokugcwalisa izidingo zabanye. Kumele samukele umuntu ngamunye njengoba enjalo, ngaphandle kokufuna ukumshintsha noma ukumkhohlisa. —Kusuka Umndeni Wami Othandekayo, “Ukungenisa Izihambi Zenhliziyo”; Fall 2013 udaba luka Ukubuyiselwa

Lesi sifiso sokuthi “singaguquli noma sikhohlise” abantu yiqhinga likaPapa Francis. Ngakho-ke, ugeza izinyawo zabesifazane abangamaSulumane, abe ngumngane wabasekeli “bemfundiso yenkolo yenkululeko”, futhi amukele abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu. Futhi kubanga umsindo. Usolwa ngokuba yisososhiyali, ukhomanisi, umuntu ophikisana nokuziphatha, umprofethi wamanga… Yebo, kukhona ukwesaba okungaqondakali ukuthi lo papa uholela iSonto endleleni, uma kungenjalo emihlathini yoMphikukristu. Futhi-ke, kabili evikini eledlule, uBaba oNgcwele ukhombe Katekisimu—Izimfundiso ezifingqiwe zeSonto LamaKatolika — njengegunya lokugcina, zombili endabeni yobungqingili ^[2]bona ukungezwa engikwenzile Ukuqonda uFrancis ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Ngingubani Ukuba Ngahlulele” nasekuqondeni umqondo kaKristu:

… I Katekisimu isifundisa izinto eziningi ngoJesu. Kufanele siyifunde, kufanele siyifunde… Siyayazi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ezele ukuzosisindisa, siyabuqonda ubuhle bomlando wensindiso, wothando lukaYise, [ngokufunda] Katekisimu… Yebo, kufanele wazi uJesu ku Katekisimu - kodwa akwanele ukumazi ngengqondo: kuyisinyathelo. ” —UPOP FRANCIS, Septhemba 26, 2013, IVatican Insider, eLa Stampa

Uqhube wathi kumele futhi simazi ne- inhliziyo, futhi lokho kuza ngomkhuleko:

Uma ungakhuleki, uma ungakhulumi noJesu, awumazi.

Kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, uthe,

Awunakumazi uJesu ekilasini lokuqala!… Kunendlela yesithathu yokwazi uJesu: kungukumlandela. Hamba naYe, hamba naYe.

HAMBA UTHENGISE KONKE ... UKULANDELE

Ngithi kunenguquko ethulile eqhubekayo, ngoba amazwi kaPapa Francis anomthelela. Omunye umpristi wangitshela ukuthi wayezohweba emotweni yakhe entsha, kepha uthathe isinqumo sokugcina endala kunalokho. Omunye umpristi uthe ukhethe ukusebenzisa i-smartphone yakhe manje "ize ife." Uthe abanye abapristi abaziyo bathengisa izimoto zabo ezibizayo bezithobekile. Umbhishobhi ucabanga kabusha ukuthi angahlala yini endaweni yokuhlala engaconsi phansi… kanti njalo nale mibiko iyangena.

UJesu wambheka, wamthanda, wathi kuye: “Usilela entweni eyodwa; Hamba uthengise onakho, uphe abampofu, khona uzakuba negugu ezulwini; bese uza ungilandele. ” (UMakho 10:21)

Ngiyawezwa la mazwi kabusha enhliziyweni yami. Bakhuphuka endaweni yokulangazelela okukhulu emphefumulweni wami… ukuba ngekaJesu kuphela ukuze nami ngibe ngokwengeziwe kwabanye. Eminyakeni eminingana edlule, ngatshela umphathi wami wezenkolo ukuthi ngangifisa kanjani "ukuthengisa yonke into" futhi ngihlale ngokulula, kepha nginomndeni omkhulu, lokhu kwabonakala kungenakwenzeka. Wangibuka, wangithanda, wathi, “Isiphambano sakho-ke leso nguwe Ayikwazi yenza lokhu manje. Lokhu ukuhlupheka ongakunikela kuJesu. ”

Sekudlule iminyaka manje, futhi uMoya ungihola ngendlela ehlukile. Njengoba abaningi benu bazi, ngingowokuqala a umculi / umbhali wengoma. Nginakekele umndeni wami iminyaka eyi-13, ngithengisa ama-albhamu, ngivakashela eNyakatho Melika, nginikeza amakhonsathi nemishini. Kepha iNkosi icela manje isinyathelo esikhulu sokholo, esiqinisekiswe nguwe bafundi nangomqondisi wami ongokomoya. Futhi lokho ukunikela ngesikhathi sami lapho imiphefumulo ihlangana khona ... lapha kule bhulogi nakuma-webcasts ami (okungukuthi, yebo, ngizoqala kabusha uma sekuyisikhathi!). Lokho kusho ushintsho olukhulu emthonjeni wemali yomndeni wami. Kusho ukuthi asisakwazi ukuphila ngokwamandla ethu, ukugcina ipulazi lethu lamanje, imishini, imali ebanjiswayo, njll. Manje, lokho kubiza okujulile emphefumulweni wami kukhuphukela phezulu, kushukunyiswa isikhuthazo esinamandla sikaYise oNgcwele ngeBandla ukuphinde ube mpofu, uphile ubumnandi:

Ubusisiwe wena mpofu, ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowakho… (Luka 6:20)

Ngoba uyabona, lapho sikhishwa konke okunamathiselwe okonakele, lapho-ke singagcwaliswa "ngombuso kaNkulunkulu." Ngemuva kwalokho, sinokuthile esingakunikela ngeqiniso izazi zemfundiso yenkolo eziphikisayo, abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu nalabo abafuna uNkulunkulu. Futhi nabo bayasikholelwa ngoba bayabona ukuthi umyalo wokuqala, woku thanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, umphefumulo, namandla ngempela isikhungo sethu; ukuthi kukhona ngempela okuthile weqile kulo mhlaba, enye injongo nencazelo engale kwale mpilo. Lapho-ke singagcwalisa ngokweqiniso uhhafu wesibili womyalo kaKristu, futhi lokho ngukuthi “thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena ” ngokubathanda ngothando lukaKristu. Lapho siba izimpawu zokuphikisana, baphila ngokulula kepha bejabule (ngentokozo kaJesu), lapho-ke nabo bazofuna lokho esinakho. Noma bangawala, njengoba noJesu wenqatshwa. Kepha nalokhu kuba yindlela esingena ngayo ngokujulile ebuphofini bukaKristu bomoya, sinikeze ubufakazi ngokuthobeka Kwakhe, ukwenqaba, nobuthakathaka bakhe….

UKUTHI “YEBO”

Futhi-ke, ngemuva kwamasonto nezinyanga zokuthandaza nokulalela, umkami kanye nezingane zami nabo bezwa ubizo: Hamba uthengise konke… woza, ungilandele. Sinqume namhlanje ukuthi sibeke ipulazi lethu nakho konke okuthengiswayo ukuze sikwazi ukulandela eduze uMbazi waseNazaretha. Sasingazi ukuthi lona ngumkhosi kaSt. Francis wase-Assisi. Ngokuncengela kwakhe, sinethemba lokuphila ngokwamandla ethu futhi sinikele ngokukhululeka ngokwethu fiat kuJesu - “ukushumayela iVangeli ngaphandle kokuyekethisa”; ukutholakala kalula kuMzimba kaKristu, kwabampofu, kuJesu. Akukho lutho lwamaqhawe ngalokhu. Ngiyisoni. Sengiphile isikhathi eside kakhulu ngokunethezeka. Kunalokho, ngingasho nje ukuthi,

Siyizinceku ezingasizi ngalutho; sikwenzile ebesibophezelekile ukukwenza. (Luka 17:10)

Yebo, lokhu Inguquko yaseFranciscan kungokwesiprofetho. Eqinisweni, angithi kwakubikezelwe mhlawumbe, eVatican City ngoMeyi ka-1975, kukhona uPapa Paul VI?

Ngoba ngiyakuthanda, ngifuna ukukukhombisa engikwenzayo emhlabeni namuhla. Mina ngifuna ukukulungiselela okuzayo. Izinsuku ze ubumnyama buyeza umhlaba, izinsuku zosizi… Izakhiwo ezimi manje azizukuba khona emi. Ukusekelwa okukhona kwabantu bami manje ngeke kube khona. Ngifuna nizilungiselele, bantu bami, ukwazi mina kuphela futhi ninamathele kimi futhi nibe nami ngendlela ejulile kunanini ngaphambili. Ngizokuholela ehlane… Mina ngizokuhlubula konke othembele kukho manje, ngakho-ke uthembele kimi. Isikhathi se- ubumnyama buyeza emhlabeni, kodwa isikhathi senkazimulo siyeza seBandla lami, a isikhathi senkazimulo siyeza sabantu bami. Ngizothululela phezu kwakho zonke izipho zoMoya wami. Ngizokulungiselela ukulwa ngokomoya; Ngizokulungiselela isikhathi sokushunyayelwa kwevangeli umhlaba ongakaze usibone…. Futhi uma ungenalutho ngaphandle kwami, uzoba nakho konke: umhlaba, amasimu, amakhaya, nabafowenu nodadewenu nothando futhi injabulo nokuthula kunanini ngaphambili. Hlalani nilungile, bantu bami, ngifuna ukulungiselela wena… -enikezwe nguDkt. Ralph Martin, manje ongumxhumanisi woMkhandlu Wepapa Wokukhuthaza Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli okusha

St Francis, sithandazele.

Lapho sibudelela kakhulu ubumpofu umhlaba uzosidelela kakhulu futhi sizohlupheka kakhulu. Kepha uma samukela ubuphofu obungcwele eduze kakhulu, umhlaba uzoza kithi futhi uzosondla kakhulu. —USt. UFrancis wase-Assisi, Ukuhlakanipha Kwabangcwele, k. 127
