Inguquko Enkulu

 

THE umhlaba usesikhathini soguquko olukhulu: ukuphela kwalesi sikhathi samanje nokuqala kokulandelayo. Lokhu akukhona nje ukuphendulwa kwekhalenda. Kuyinguquko epochal ye- izilinganiso zebhayibheli. Cishe wonke umuntu angakuzwa ngezinga elithile noma kwelinye. Umhlaba uphazamisekile. Iplanethi iyabubula. Ukwahlukana kuyanda. Kubhalwe iBarque of Peter. Ukuhleleka kokuziphatha kuyachithwa. A ukuzamazama okukhulu konke sekuqalile. Ngamazwi oBhishobhi Omkhulu waseRussia uKirill:

… Sesingena esikhathini esibucayi empucukweni yabantu. Lokhu sekuvele kubonakala ngamehlo. Kumele ube yimpumputhe ukuze ungaziboni izikhathi ezesabekayo ezisemlandweni umphostoli nomvangeli uJohane ayekhuluma ngazo eNcwadini yeSambulo. -Ukuhlonishwa kweSonto Lobu-Orthodox LaseRussia, uKristu uMsindisi Cathedral, eMoscow; Novemba 20, 2017; rt.com

Kuyinto, kusho uPapa Leo XIII…

… Umoya wenguquko osekunesikhathi eside kuphazamisa izizwe zomhlaba… Izinto ezingqubuzanayo ezishubile manje azinakuphikwa… Ubukhulu besimo sezinto manje obuthintekayo bugcwalisa yonke ingqondo ngokukhathazeka okubuhlungu… —Incwadi Enobuciko URerum Novarum, n. 1, Meyi 15, 1891

Esikhathini sethu isintu sibhekene noshintsho emlandweni waso… Ziningi izifo ezisakazwayo. Izinhliziyo zabantu abaningi zibanjwe ukwesaba nokuphelelwa yithemba, ngisho nasemazweni okuthiwa acebile. Injabulo yokuphila ivame ukuphela, ukungabi nhlonipho kwabanye nobudlova kuyanda, futhi ukungalingani kuya ngokuya kubonakala. Kungumshikashika wokuphila futhi, kaningi, wokuphila ngesithunzi esincane esiyigugu. Lolu shintsho lwe-epochal lusungulwe ngenqubekela phambili enkulu yezinga, ubungako, ukushesha nokuqoqeka okwenzeka kwisayensi nakwezobuchwepheshe, nangokusebenzisa kwabo okusheshayo ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene zemvelo kanye nakwezempilo. Sisesikhathini solwazi nolwazi, okuholele ezinhlotsheni zamandla ezintsha nezingajwayelekile ezingaziwa. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium,n. 52

Ziningi izifaniso umuntu angazisebenzisa kulesi sikhathi samanje: yihora lokuhwalala; ukuzola ngaphambiiso leNkanyamba“; noma njengeGandalf evela kwaTolkien's Lord of the Rings yibeke: 

Kuyinto umoya ojulile ngaphambi shí… Lokhu kuzoba ukuphela kweGondar njengoba sazi… Sifika kuyo ekugcineni, impi enkulu yesikhathi sethu.

Sizwa izinto ezifanayo ezivela kubabonisi emhlabeni wonke:

UMama wethu ungitshele izinto eziningi engingakwazi ukuzidalula okwamanje. Okwamanje, ngikwazi ukusikisela kuphela ukuthi ikusasa lethu lisiphatheleni, kepha ngibona izinkomba zokuthi imicimbi isivele iyaqhubeka. Izinto ziqala ukukhula kancane. Njengoba uMama wethu esho, bheka izimpawu zezikhathi, futhi thandaza. —UMirjana Dragicevic-Soldo, umboni weMedjugorje, Inhliziyo Yami Izonqoba, k. 369; Ukushicilelwa Kwesitolo SamaKatolika, ngo-2016

Isifaniso seBhayibheli ngesokuthi a ukuguquka ezinhlungwini zokubeletha ezinzima…

 

UBUHLUNGU BOKUSEBENZA KAKHULU

Kubhulogi yakhe emayelana nokuzala kwemvelo nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi yisikhathi “soguquko” —lapho umama okhulelwe esezoqala ukusunduza ingane yakhe iphumile— umbhali uCatherine Beier uyabhala:

Inguquko, ngokungafani nomsebenzi osebenzayo, yisiphepho ngaphambi kokuthula okuyisigaba sokucindezela. Ingxenye enzima kunazo zonke yokubeletha, kepha futhi iyifushane kakhulu. Kulapha lapho ukugxila kukamama kungahle kuntengantenge. Lesi yisigaba lapho abesifazane bengangabaza amandla abo okuzala umntwana futhi bacele nemithi. Bangakhathazeka ngokuthi umsebenzi uzothatha isikhathi esingakanani nokuthi uzoba mkhulu kangakanani. Omama basikisela ngalesi sikhathi futhi baba sengozini enkulu yokwamukela ukungenelela ababengakufuni phambilini. Kulesi sigaba lapho umngane wokuzalwa kufanele aqaphele izidingo zakhe ezingokomzwelo futhi abe yizwi lakhe lesizathu uma kuphakanyiswa ukungenelela. -imningook.biz

Ngokungaqondile uCatherine wahlaziya zonke izinselelo, ukwesaba, kanye namaqiniso iSonto elibhekene nawo manje. Ngoba uJesu uqobo uchaze okufanele kufike njengoku “Izinhlungu zokubeletha.” ^[1]I-Matt 24: 8

Isizwe siyovukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso. Kuyoba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla, indlala, nezifo ezindaweni ngezindawo; futhi izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinamandla zizovela esibhakabhakeni… konke lokhu kumane kungukuqala kobuhlungu bokubeletha… Futhi-ke abaningi bayokuwa, bakhaphelane, bazondane. Futhi abaprofethi bamanga abaningi bayovela futhi badukise abaningi. (Luka 21: 10-11, Mat 24: 8, 10-11)

 Kuma-naysayers, uSt. John Newman uyaphendula:

Ngiyazi ukuthi zonke izikhathi ziyingozi, nokuthi ngaso sonke isikhathi izingqondo ezibucayi nezikhathazayo, eziphila udumo lukaNkulunkulu nezidingo zomuntu, zikulungele ukucabanga ukuthi azikho izikhathi eziyingozi njengalezo zazo… namanje ngicabanga ukuthi… isikhathi sethu sinobumnyama ehlukile ngezinhlobo kunoma yikuphi okwake kwenzeka ngaphambi kwayo. Ingozi ekhethekile yesikhathi esiphambi kwethu ukusabalala kwaleyo nhlupho yokungathembeki, ukuthi abaPhostoli neNkosi yethu uqobo babikezele njengenhlekelele embi kakhulu yezikhathi zokugcina zeSonto. Futhi okungenani isithunzi, isithombe esijwayelekile sezikhathi zokugcina siyeza emhlabeni jikelele. —USt. UJohn Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890 AD), intshumayelo yokuvulwa kweSt. Bernard's Seminary, ngo-Okthoba 2, 1873, Ukungathembeki Kwesikhathi Esizayo

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izizwe zomhlaba bake bazikhomba nini izikhali zokubhujiswa okukhulu njengoba zenza manje? Sikubone nini ukuqhuma kokuqothulwa kwabantu abaningi njengoba kwenzeka eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule? Sikubone nini ukuzamazama komhlaba nezintaba-mlilo (obekulokhu kunathi) manje ezikwazi ukubhubhisa abantu abaningi nezimpilo zabo? Lapho sibone izigidi eziningi kangaka emhlabeni wonke zibulawa yindlala nobumpofu ngenkathi AbaseNtshonalanga bakhuluphele? Ngabe umhlaba ulungele nini, ngohambo lwamazwe omhlaba, ukuthi kungenzeka kube khona ubhadane lwezifo olulodwa (ekupheleni kwesikhathi semithi elwa namagciwane)? Sibonile nini cishe umhlaba wonke ukuhlukaniswa kwezepolitiki nezenkolo okuholela ekuhlukaneni okuqatha: umakhelwane ngokumelene nomakhelwane, umndeni ngokumelene nomndeni, umfowabo ngokumelene nomfowabo? Kunini, selokhu kwazalwa uKristu, sibonile abaningi kangaka abaprofethi bamanga nabasebenzeli be anti-ivangeli ukuphindaphindeka ngokucacile kungxenyekazi yomhlaba wonke? Sibonile nini amaKristu amaningi kangaka ebulawelwa ukholo njengoba senzile ekhulwini elidlule?^[2]"Ngizokutshela okuthize: Abafel 'ukholo baningi ngesibalo kunaleso sekhulu lokuqala leminyaka ... kunesihluku esifanayo kumaKristu namuhla, futhi isibalo esikhulu kakhulu." —UPOP FRANCIS, Disemba 26, 2016; Zenit Kunini lapho sike saba nobuchwepheshe bokulunguza esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku futhi sibone izimpawu nezimangaliso, kufaka phakathi izintambo zakamuva zeziphuphutheki manje ihamba phambili emkhathizwe—Into engakaze ibonwe yinoma ubani emlandweni wesintu?

Futhi-ke, okulandela konke lokhu, ngokusho kuka opapa, Ntokazi Yethu, Futhi izimanga eSontweni, akusikuphela komhlaba, kepha kuzalwa “inkathi yokuthula” ngokungafani nanoma yini eyake yaziwa umhlaba wonke. 

Yebo, isimangaliso sathenjiswa eFatima, isimangaliso esikhulu kunazo zonke emlandweni womhlaba, kwesesibili kuphela ovukweni. Futhi leso simangaliso siyoba isikhathi sokuthula, esingakaze sinikezwe ngaphambili emhlabeni. - UCardinal Mario Luigi Ciappi, isazi semfundiso yenkolo sikaPius XII, uJohn XXIII, uPaul VI, uJohn Paul I, noJohn Paul II, ngo-Okthoba 9, 1994, Ikhathekthi Yomndeni WabaPhostoli, iphe. I-35

Lokho kungenxa yokuthi kuzophinde kuhambisane nakho ukuza koMbuso Wentando Yaphezulu ukuze kungeniswe iSonto esigabeni salo sokugcina se- ukuhlanzwa nobungcwele, ngaleyo ndlela kugcwaliseka amazwi kaBaba Wethu: “Umbuso wakho mawuze, kwenziwe intando yakho emhlabeni njengasezulwini. ”

Ngakho-ke, ngenhloso yokukhuthaza nokuxwayisa, i-Catherine's blog kufanele uhlaziye isigwebo ngomusho. 

 

Uguquko Olukhulu

I. "Ingxenye enzima kunazo zonke yokubeletha, kodwa futhi iyifushane kakhulu."

 Impela, maqondana nomlando wesintu, isikhathi isintu esingena kuso sizofushane.

Uma iNkosi ibingazifinyezi lezo zinsuku, bekungesindiswe muntu; kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo eyabakhetha, yazifinyeza lezo zinsuku. (Marku 13:20)

Esiqongweni se- umsebenzi onzima kakhulu lapho ukushushiswa kuzoba buhlungu kakhulu, bobabili umprofethi uDaniel noSt. John bakhombisa ngolimi olungokomfanekiso (futhi mhlawumbe olungokoqobo) ukuthi isikhathi sizofushane:

Lesi silo sanikwa umlomo okhuluma amazwi aqhoshayo nenhlamba, savunyelwa ukuba sisebenzise igunya laso izinyanga ezingamashumi amane nambili; savula umlomo waso ukuhlambalaza uNkulunkulu, sihlambalaza igama lakhe nendawo yakhe yokuhlala, okungukuthi, labo abahlala ezulwini. Futhi savunyelwa ukulwa nabangcwele nokubanqoba… (IsAm 13: 5-7; qhathanisa noDaniel 7:25)

Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba nje ukubusa kukaMphikukristu kungapheli, futhi akunamkhawulo emandleni:

Ngisho namademoni ayahlolwa yizingilosi ezinhle hleze zilimaze kakhulu ngangawo. Ngendlela efanayo, Umphik'ukristu ngeke enze okubi kakhulu ngendlela abefisa ngayo. —USt. UThomas Aquinas, ISumma Theologica, Ingxenye I, Q.113, Ubuciko. 4

 

II. “Kulapha lapho ukugxila kukamama kungaxega khona. Lesi yisigaba lapho abesifazane bengangabaza amandla abo okuzala umntwana futhi bacele nemithi. ”

Abaphostoli balwela ukugxila njengoba ukuguquka kwePassion kuqala eGetsemane. 

Ngakho-ke awukwazanga ukuqapha nami ihora elilodwa? Bukela bese uthandazela ukuthi ungavivinywa. (Math 26:40)

Ngokufanayo, njengoba siguqulela ku- Inkanuko yeSonto uqobo, amaKrestu amaningi azizwa enqotshwa ukukhathazeka ngokwenzeka eSontweni nasemhlabeni, uma kungenjalo ngemindeni yawo. Ngakho-ke, isilingo sokuzidambisa iziphazamiso, ukuzijabulisa okungenangqondo noma ukungena kuwebhu; ngokudla, utshwala noma ugwayi, kuyaqina. Kepha lokhu kuvame ukuthi kungenxa yokuthi umphefumulo awukaze uhlakulele impilo yomkhuleko noma uyishiye inganakiwe — awukwazanga “ukubheka.” Ngakho-ke, ekuchithekeni, umphefumulo uyekelelwa kancane kancane isono. 

Yikho nje ukulala kwethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu okusenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi. ”… Isimo esinjalo siholela“ kokunye ukungakhathali komphefumulo ngamandla wobubi ”… '' ubuthongo 'bungobethu, bethu abangafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi abangafuni ukungena kuThanda lakhe.” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience

Ngokubuyela nsuku zonke Umthandazo, njalo Ukuvuma nokwamukelwa kaningi kwe Umthendeleko, UNkulunkulu uzosisiza ukuthi sigcine amehlo ethu egxile kuYe. Lapha, ukungcweliselwa uMama Wethu kubaluleke kakhulu njengoba kunguye yedwa onikezwe indima yokuba ngumama ngamunye wethu, futhi ngenxa yalokho, uba yiqiniso isiphephelo. 

Inhliziyo Yami Engasoze Yaba yisiphephelo sakho nendlela ezokuyisa kuNkulunkulu. -Udade wethu waseFatima, umbono wesibili, ngoJuni 13, 1917, Isambulo Sezinhliziyo ezimbili ezikhathini zanamuhla, www.ewtn.com

Umama wami nguMphongolo kaNowa. —UJesu ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann, Ilangabi Lothando, p. I-109. Imprimatur UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles Chaput

 

III. “Bangakhathazeka ngokuthi umsebenzi uzothatha isikhathi esingakanani nokuthi uzoshuba kangakanani.”  

Ukudumazeka nokukhathazeka ngamawele amabi ahlwitha ukuthula kobuKristu. Bayizitha eziphikelelayo, ezingqongqoza njalo enhliziyweni yobuKristu: “Masingene! Vumela sihlala nawe, ngoba ukucabanga ngalokho ongakwazi ukukulawula kukuvumela ukuthi okungenani ulawule lokho okucabangayo! ” Uyahlanya kodwa uqinisile, cha? Sikwenza ngaso sonke isikhathi. Esikhundleni salokho, umuntu kufanele ahlale engaguquguquki kuzo zonke izilingo zakhe, ethembele ekukholweni ukuthi akukho okwenzekayo okungavunyelwa uNkulunkulu — kubandakanya nalokho okuseza emhlabeni. Ngiyazi ukuthi kunzima… kepha izinga esisabela ngalo entandweni yethu yobuntu yilona zinga esingakashiyi ngalo entandweni kaNkulunkulu. 

Ngomphefumulo ongaguquguquki konke ukuthula; ukungaguquguquki nje kona kakade kugcina konke kusendaweni yako; izinkanuko sezivele zizwa ukuthi ziyafa, futhi ngubani lowo, osondela ekufeni, ocabanga ngokulwa nanoma ngubani? Ukuqinisela kuyinkemba ebeka yonke into ekubalekeni, yilona chungechunge elibopha bonke ubuhle, ngendlela yokuthi uzizwe uphathwa yibo ngokuqhubekayo; futhi umlilo Wesihlanzo ngeke ube nomsebenzi, ngoba ukungaguquguquki kuyalile konke futhi kwenze izindlela zomphefumulo zifane nezikaMdali. -Incwadi Yezulu nguNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta, Umqulu 7, Januwari 30, 1906 

Ngiphinde ngancoma ngenhliziyo yonke i- INovena Yokulahlwa kulabo abadlula ezilingweni ezithile njengamanje. Kuyindlela enhle, eduduzayo yokunikela ngempilo yakho kuNkulunkulu bese uvumela uJesu anakekele konke.  

 

IV. "Omama baba nokunconywa ngalesi sikhathi futhi yibona abasengozini enkulu yokwamukela ukungenelela abebengakufuni phambilini."

Lesi yisexwayiso. Ngoba njengoba lezi zinhlungu zokubeletha ziba zimbi ngokwengeziwe, abantu bayoba sengozini kakhulu futhi ukholo lwabo luvivinywe kanzima. Njengoba ukuhleleka komphakathi kwehla, kuzoba nezinxushunxushu (ngisho namanje, imiphumela yezomnotho yeCoronavirus esakazeka isuka eChina ingafika njenge-tsunami ogwini lwethu emasontweni ambalwa nje). Njengoba ubudlelwane bamazwe omhlaba nobomndeni buhlakazeka, ukwahlukana nokusola kuzoqhubeka. Njengoba abantu bevala izinhliziyo zabo kuNkulunkulu futhi bewela esonweni sokufa, ububi buzothola izinqaba ezintsha kanye nokubonakaliswa kobudemoni kuzokwanda ngokusobala. Ucabanga ukuthi kuyini lokhu kudutshulwa kwabantu abaningi masonto onke nokuhlasela kwamaphekula? Futhi, njengoba ushushiso lukhula, amaKristu amaningi aya eba "asikisela" ku abaprofethi bamanga bokuyekethisa. Kakade, abaningi bayalahla okholweni, kufaka phakathi ababhishobhi. 

Isibonelo ngabathile bababhishobhi baseJalimane abanjalo ephikisana obala okholweni. Noma lo mbhishobhi omkhulu wase-Italy okhombise kumabonakude woMbuso wase-Italy ukuthi 'sesifikile isikhathi sokuba iSonto livulekele ubungqingili kanye nezinyunyana zomphakathi wobulili obufanayo':

Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuba amaKristu azivulele ukwehluka… -U-Archbishop Benvenuto Castellani, engxoxweni yeRAI, Mashi 13, 2014, LifeSiteNews.com

“Asinakusho nje ukuthi ubungqingili abuyona into engokwemvelo,” kusho uMbhishobhi uStephan Ackermanm waseTrier, eJalimane, enezela ngokuthi “akunakwenzeka” ukubheka zonke izinhlobo zocansi lwangaphambi komshado njengezono ezinkulu:

Asikwazi ukuyiguqula ngokuphelele imfundiso yamaKhatholika, kepha [kufanele] sithuthukise imibandela esisho ngayo: Kuleli cala nakuleli cala elithile kuyabonakala. Akukhona ukuthi kukhona okuhle kuphela ngakolunye uhlangothi nokulahlwa ngakolunye uhlangothi. —LifeSiteNews.com, Mashi 13, 2014 

AmaKrestu angafundiswanga noma labo abesaba ukungamukelwa noma ukushushiswa baba "ngukusikisela" kulawo macala asobala kanye "nokungenelela" okuyimbuka, okuthi uma kwamukelwa, kuholele ukuhlubuka.

Ngaleso sikhathi lapho kuzalwa khona uMphikukristu, kuzoba nezimpi eziningi kanye nokuhleleka okulungile okuzobhujiswa emhlabeni. Imbuka izokwanda futhi abahlubuki bazoshumayela amaphutha abo ngokusobala ngaphandle kokuvinjelwa. Ngisho naphakathi kwamaKristu ukungabaza nokungabaza kuzothokoziswa maqondana nezinkolelo zobuKatolika. —USt. Hildegard, Imininingwane yokufaka Umphik'ukristu, ngokwemiBhalo Engcwele, i-Tradition kanye ne-Private Revelation, UProf. Franz Spirago

Umboni waseMelika wamaKatolika, uJennifer (isibongo sakhe sigodliwe ukuhlonipha ubumfihlo bomndeni wakhe), kuthiwa uzwa uJesu ekhuluma naye ngezwi elizwakalayo.^[3]UJennifer ungumama osemusha waseMelika nomama wekhaya. Imiyalezo yakhe kuthiwa ivela ngqo kuJesu, owaqala ukukhuluma naye ngokuzwakalayo usuku olulodwa ngemuva kokuthola uMthendeleko Ongcwele eMiseni. Imilayezo ifundwe cishe njengokuqhubeka komyalezo Wesihe SikaNkulunkulu, kepha kugcizelelwa kakhulu “umnyango wobulungiswa” ngokungafani "nomnyango wesihe" - uphawu, mhlawumbe, ngokusondela kwesahlulelo. Ngelinye ilanga, iNkosi yamyala ukuthi ethule imiyalezo yakhe kuBaba oNgcwele, uJohn Paul II. UFr. USeraphim Michaelenko, usekela-postulator wokugcotshwa kukaSt Faustina, uhumushe imiyalezo yakhe ngesiPolish. Ubhukishe ithikithi elibheke eRoma futhi, naphezu kwazo zonke izinkinga, wazithola yena nabangane bakhe emaphaseji aseVatican. Uhlangane noMonsignor Pawel Ptasznik, umngani osondelene nomhlanganyeli kaPapa kanye ne-Secretariat of State yaseVietnam yeVatican. Le miyalezo yadluliselwa kuKhadinali Stanislaw Dziwisz, unobhala kaJohn Paul II. Emhlanganweni wokulandelela, uNkk. UPawel uthe kumele "asakaze imiyalezo emhlabeni nganoma iyiphi indlela ongakwenza ngayo." Ungumphefumulo olula, ojabulayo kodwa ohluphekayo engikhulume naye kaningi. Ngo-2005, inyanga okhethwe ngayo uBenedict XVI, uJesu wanikeza isibikezelo esinembile ngokumangalisayo:

Leli yihora lenguquko enkulu. Ngokuza komholi omusha weSonto Lami kuzovela ushintsho olukhulu, ushintsho oluzokhipha labo abakhethe indlela yobumnyama; labo abakhetha ukuguqula izimfundiso zeqiniso zeBandla Lami. —U-Ephreli 22, 2005, amazwifromjesus.com

Ngempela, ngopapa kaFrancis owalandela, "ushintsho" beluvele ngokushesha oludalula futhi luhlunge ukhula kukolweni kulesi sikhathi samanje testing (bheka Lapho Ukhula Luqala Ikhanda futhi Ababhikishi).

Bantu bami, lesi kuzoba yisikhathi soguquko olukhulu. Kuzoba isikhathi lapho uzobona ukwahlukana okukhulu kwalabo abahamba ekukhanyeni Kwami nalabo abangahambi. —UJesu waya kuJennifer, Agasti 31, 2004

Lokhu "kuphambuka" nalabo "abadukisa" umhlambi yilokho uJesu noSt. Paul abakubikezele:

Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisa nganoma iyiphi indlela; ngoba [uSuku lweNkosi] alunakufika, ngaphandle kokuthi kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala, kwembulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokubhubha… (2 Thesalonika 2: 3)

Niyaqonda, Bazalwane Abahloniphekile, ukuthi siyini lesi sifo—ukuhlubuka Okuvela KuNkulunkulu… Lapho konke lokhu kubhekwa kunesizathu esihle sokwesaba ukuthi mhlawumbe lobu bukhulu bungaba njengokwesambatho, futhi mhlawumbe nokuqala kwalabo ububi obabekelwe izinsuku zokugcina; nokuthi lapho kungenzeka ukuthi sesivele sikhona emhlabeni 'INdodana yokubhujiswa' umphostoli akhuluma ngayo. —I-POPE ST. I-PIUS X, E Supremi, I-Encyclical On the Return of All All Christ in Christ, n. 3, 5; Ngo-Okthoba 4, 1903

Ukuhlubuka okukhulu kakhulu selokhu kwazalwa iSonto ngokusobala sekuthuthuke kakhulu kuyo yonke indawo. —UDkt. Ralph Martin, Umeluleki woMkhandlu Wepapa Wokukhuthaza Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli okusha; ISonto LamaKatolika Ekupheleni Kweminyaka: Uthini Umoya? k. 292

Funda Ikhambi Elikhulu. 

 

U-V. "Kulesi sigaba lapho umngane wokuzalwa kumele aqaphele izidingo zakhe ezingokomzwelo futhi abe yizwi lakhe lokucabanga uma kuphakanyiswa ukungenelela."

Kuphakathi nalesi sigaba se- ukuguquka leyo miphefumulo kumele iqaphe kakhulu uMoya oNgcwele neNkosazana Yethu, enikezwe ukuba ibe usizo nabangane bethu. Kufanele “sibheke futhi sithandaze.” Ngale ndlela, "izwi lokucabanga," okungukuthi, ukuhlakanipha kwaphezulu, ulwazi nokuqonda kuzonikezwa thina. Empeleni, lapho ngithandaza iRosari kulezi zinsuku, ngiguqula izinhloso zobuhlalu obuthathu bokuqala ukuba ngithandazele “ukholo, ithemba nothando” ngicele “ubuhlakani, ulwazi nokuqonda.”

… Ikusasa lomhlaba lisengcupheni ngaphandle kwalapho kuza abantu abahlakaniphile. —I-POPE ST. UJOHANE PAUL II, I-Familiaris Consortio, hhayi. 8

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngomthandazo, ngokuzila ukudla nangokuqapha isilingo, uNkulunkulu uzosivikela ku bamanga amazwi aziveza “njengesizathu” afaka abaprofethi bamanga “bokubekezelelana” abashumayela uthando ngaphandle kweqiniso; kusuka kubaprofethi bamanga beSocialism / Communism abathembisa "ukulingana" ngaphandle kwenkululeko eyiqiniso; kusuka kubaprofethi bamanga "bezemvelo" abagqugquzela uthando ngendalo kepha baphike uMdali. Banqabe! Yiba nesibindi! Melana “nokuqubuka kokungenelela” umoya womphikukristu osuvele waqalisa ukuwufaka emiphefumulweni engaqaphile ukuze kwakheke isimo esihle somhlaba kanye nomqondo ongamanga “wokuthula nokulondeka.”

Lapho abantu bethi, "Ukuthula nokulondeka," lapho inhlekelele engazelelwe ifika phezu kwabo, njengezinhlungu zokubeletha okhulelwe, futhi ngeke baphunyuke… Ngakho-ke, masingalali njengabanye, kodwa masihlale siphapheme futhi sisangulukile . (1 Thesalonika 5: 3, 6)

 

USUKU OLUSHA LUZA

Sengiphetha, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, isikhuthazo ezwini lanamuhla elithi “makungathembeki nje kuphela, kodwa nokuthi ungesabi. Njengesikhathi sokuzalwa kwe- a Ingane ekugcineni iyajabula, yize kunezikhathi zangempela nezibuhlungu ezizayo, kanjalo-ke, ukuzalwa okusha okuzayo eSontweni kuyimbangela yethemba, hhayi ukuphelelwa yithemba.

ukuthi kuzelwe umntwana emhlabeni.
Ngakho nani manje nisosizini. Kepha ngizophinde ngikubone,
