Imibhalo yenkolo lapha

Bheka, isivunguvungu seNkosi siphumile ngokufutheka kwayo,
Isivunguvungu esinobudlova!
Kuyowela ngodlame emakhanda ababi.
Intukuthelo yeNkosi ayibuyeli emuva
aze asebenze futhi enze
imicabango yenhliziyo Yakhe.
Ezinsukwini zokugcina uzokuqonda kahle.
(UJeremiya 23: 19-20)

UJEREMIYA la mazwi asikhumbuza omprofethi uDaniel, owasho into efanayo ngemuva kokuba naye esethole imibono “yezinsuku zokugcina”:

Kepha wena, Daniyeli, gcina lo myalezo uyimfihlo futhi uyivale incwadi kuze isikhathi sokuphela; abaningi bayokuwa, ububi bande. (Daniyeli 12: 4)

Kunjengokungathi, “esikhathini sokugcina,” uNkulunkulu uzokwembula ukugcwala yesu Lakhe lobuNkulunkulu. Manje, akukho okusha okuyokwengezwa eSambulweni SeBandla Sasesidlangalaleni esisinikezwe ngoKristu “kwidiphozi yokukholwa.” Kodwa, njengoba ngabhala ku Ubukhazikhazi Beqiniso Eliqhubekayo, ukuliqonda kwethu kungajula futhi kujule. Futhi lokhu kube yindima ebalulekile “yesambulo sangasese” ezikhathini zethu, njengasemibhalweni kaSt. Faustina noma iNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta. ^[1]qhathanisa Khanyisa amalambu

Ngokwesibonelo, embonweni onamandla, St. Gertrude the Great (d. 1302) wavunyelwa ukuba aphumuze ikhanda lakhe eduze kwenxeba ebeleni loMsindisi. Esalalele iNhliziyo Yakhe eshayayo, wabuza uJohane oNgcwele, uMpostoli othandekayo, ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi, okhanda lakhe libekwe esifubeni sikaMsindisi ngeSidlo Sokugcina, athule athule ngokushaywa kuka. Inhliziyo ethandekayo yeNkosi yakhe emibhalweni yakhe. Wazwakalisa ukuzisola kuye ngokuthi wayengasho lutho ngakho ukuze asifundise. UMpostoli waphendula wathi:

Inhloso yami kwakuwukubhalela iSonto, lisencane, okuthile ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu uBaba elingadalwanga, into uqobo lwayo ebinganika wonke umuntu ukuqonda kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi, into okungekho muntu oyoke aphumelele kuyo. ukuqonda ngokugcwele. Ngokuqondene nolimi lwalezi zingoma ezibusisiwe zeNhliziyo kaJesu, lubekelwe iminyaka yokugcina lapho umhlaba, usugugile futhi ubanda othandweni lukaNkulunkulu, uzodinga ukufudunyezwa futhi ngokwambulwa kwalezi zimfihlakalo. -I-Legatus divinae pietatis, IV, 305; “IZambulo Gertrudianae”, ed. Poitiers naseParis, ngo-1877

Encwadini yakhe ethi “Reparation to the Sacred Heart,” uPapa Pius XI wabhala:

Futhi-ke, nangokuphikisana nentando yethu, umcabango uvuka emqondweni wokuthi manje lezo zinsuku ziyasondela iNkosi yethu eyaprofetha ngazo: “Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ububi buningi, uthando lwabaningi luzobanda.” (Math. 24:12). —POPE PIUS XI, I-Miserentissimus Redemptor,n. 17; NgoMeyi, 1928

Lawo mazwi ayefana “nenkomba yaphezulu” okwathi, ngemva kweminyaka eyisithupha, yabangela ukuba “ulimi lwalezi zigqi ezibusisiwe zeNhliziyo kaJesu” ezambulweni zoMusa Waphezulu uJesu azinikeza iSt. Faustina. Ngokushaya kwenhliziyo okukodwa, uJesu uyaxwayisa, futhi ngokunye, Uyancenga:

KwiTestamente Elidala ngithumele abaphurofetha bephethe imibani kubantu bami. Namuhla ngikuthumela ngomusa Wami kubantu bomhlaba wonke. Angifuni ukujezisa isintu esibuhlungu, kepha ngifisa ukusipholisa, sikucindezela ku-Nhliziyo Yami Yomusa. Ngisebenzisa isijeziso lapho bona uqobo bangiphoqa ukuba ngenze njalo; Isandla sami siyanqikaza ukubamba inkemba yobulungisa. Ngaphambi koSuku lwezoBulungiswa ngithumela uSuku loMusa. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Divine Umusa emphefumulweni wami, Idayari, n. 1588

Esifundweni sokuqala sanamuhla, umprofethi u-Isaya, lowo oFata BeSonto abathi wabikezela “inkathi yokuthula” emhlabeni ngaphambi kokuphela kwezwe, wathi:

“Kuncane kakhulu, usho kanje, ukuba ube yinceku yami, uvuse izizwe zakwaJakobe, ubuyise abasindileyo bakwa-Israyeli; ngiyakukwenza ukukhanya ezizweni, ukuze insindiso yami ifinyelele emikhawulweni yomhlaba. (Isahluko 49)

Kunjengokungathi uBaba uthi eNdodaneni, “Kuncane kakhulu kuwe ukuthi ungabuyisa kuphela ubudlelwano bezidalwa Zami Nami ngeGazi Lakho; kunalokho, umhlaba wonke kufanele ugcwale ngeQiniso lakho, futhi zonke iziqhingi ezisogwini ziyazi futhi zikhulekele ukuhlakanipha koBunkulunkulu. Ngale ndlela, ukukhanya kwakho kuzokhipha yonke indalo ebumnyameni futhi kubuyisele Uhlelo LobuNkulunkulu kubantu. Bese kuthi-ke, kufike ukuphela."

Leli vangeli lombuso liyoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke njengobufakazi ezizweni zonke, andukuba kufike ukuphela. ( Mathewu 24:14 )

Faka: imibhalo kaLuisa Piccarreta ngeNtando Yaphezulu, engathi “ngakolunye uhlangothi lohlamvu lwemali” kuMusa Waphezulu. Uma izambulo zikaFaustina zisilungiselela ukuphela kwalesi sikhathi, ezikaLuisa zisilungiselela okulandelayo. Njengoba uJesu asho kuLuisa:

Isikhathi lapho le mibhalo izokwaziswa ngaso sihlobene futhi sincike esimweni semiphefumulo efisa ukuthola okuhle okukhulu kangaka, kanye nasemzameni walabo okumele bazikhandle ekubeni ngabaphathi bompondo ngokunikela umhlatshelo wokwazisa esikhathini esisha sokuthula… -Isipho Sokuphila Intando Yaphezulu emibhalweni kaLuisa Piccarreta,n. 1.11.6, uMfundisi Joseph Iannuzzi; lolu cwaningo lwemibhalo kaLuisa lwathola izimpawu zokuvunywa yiNyuvesi yaseVatican kanye nokugunyazwa kwesonto

… “Esikhathini sokuphela” uMoya weNkosi uzovuselela izinhliziyo zabantu, kuqoshwe umthetho omusha kubo. Uyoqoqa futhi abuyisane nabantu abahlakazekile nabahlukene phakathi; uzoguqula indalo yokuqala, futhi uNkulunkulu uzohlala lapho nabantu ngokuthula. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 715

Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi sinelungelo lokuphila esikhathini esingavamile, esabikezelwa abaprofethi abambalwa. ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka edlule. Igama elithi “apocalypse” livela kwelesiGrikhi i-apokalupsis, okusho ukuthi “ukwembula” noma “ukwembula.” Ngalokho kukhanya, i-Apocalypse of St. John ayikona mayelana nenhlekelele nobumnyama, kodwa ukufeza ngesikhathi kaJesu ezilungisela uMlobokazi ongcwele...

... ukuze aveze kuye ibandla linobukhazikhazi, lingenabala nambimbi noma yini enjalo, ukuze libe ngcwele, lingabi nasici. ( Efesu 5:27 )

Sesiyaqala ukuqonda, kancane kancane, inhloso yalesi Siphepho Esikhulu esehlele esizukulwaneni sethu, lesi “sivunguvungu” umprofethi uJeremiya akhuluma ngaso. Uvunyelwe uNkulunkulu ukuze ahlanze umhlaba futhi amise uMbuso kaKristu ezindaweni ezisogwini: isikhathi lapho iZwi laKhe liyofezwa khona “emhlabeni njengasezulwini."

Ngokuphathelene nalokhu, uJesu noMariya (“Izinhliziyo Ezimbili” bobabili abathi “yebo” kuYise) bembula ngobuntu babo isibonelo sezenzakalo noma izigaba ‘zezikhathi zamuva. UJesu usikhombisa indlela okufanele iBandla liyilandele ukuze lihlanzwe—iNdlela Yesiphambano. Njengomngane wami, uFr. UGeorge Kosicki wabhala:

IBandla lizokwandisa ukubusa koMsindisi oNgcwele ngokubuyela eGumbini Eliphezulu ngendlela yaseKalvari! -UMoya noMlobokazi bathi: “Woza!”, ikhasi 95

… Lapho izolandela iNkosi yayo ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwayo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 677

Njengoba uJesu asho kuPetru eVangelini lanamuhla: "Lapho ngiya khona, awukwazi ukungilandela manje, noma uzolandela kamuva." Lokho kungenxa yokuthi umlando wensindiso awukapheleli kuze kube yilapho uMzimba kaKristu usuhlangene ngokugcwele neNhloko:

Ngoba izimfihlakalo zikaJesu azikenziwa ngokuphelele futhi zigcwaliseke. Aphelele, empeleni, asesimweni sikaJesu, kodwa hhayi kithi, angamalungu akhe, noma eSontweni, okuwumzimba wakhe ongaqondakali. —St. UJohn Elies, qaphela "EMbusweni KaJesu", Imfundo yamahora, IVol IV, ikhasi 559

Kulokho, uMariya uwuphawu lwalo “Mlobokazi” nohambo lwakhe oluya ekupheleleni; “ungumfanekiso weBandla elizayo.” ^[2]UPAPA BENEDICT XVI, Isikhulumi uSalvi, n. 50

UMariya uncike ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu futhi ubhekiswe kuye ngokuphelele, futhi eceleni kweNdodana yakhe, ungumfanekiso ophelele wenkululeko kanye nowenkululeko yesintu neyendawo yonke. Kukuyena njengoMama noModeli okumele iSonto libheke ukuze liqonde ngokuphelele incazelo yenjongo yalo. —I-POPE ST. UJOHANE PAUL II, I-Redemptoris Mater,n. 37

Ingabe umsebenzi wethu ubukeka kanjani kulezi “zikhathi zokugcina”? Lapho uMariya ethi “yebo” kuNkulunkulu, yena fiat wehlisela phezu kwakhe uMoya oNgcwele, nombuso kaJesu waqala esibelethweni sakhe. Kanjalo futhi, njengoba manje sembulwa ngokugcwele emibhalweni kaLuisa, iBandla kumele limnike imvume, “yebo” wakhe, ukuze kufike “iPhentekoste elisha” ukuze uJesu abuse kwabangcwele Bakhe kulokho okuyoba ubukhosi. “inkathi yokuthula” emhlabeni, noma lokho oFata BeSonto abakubiza ngokuthi “ukuphumula kwesabatha”:

Kepha uma umphik'ukristu esezichithile zonke izinto kulomhlaba, uyakubusa iminyaka emithathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha, ahlale ethempelini eJerusalema; khona-ke iNkosi izofika ivela ezulwini ngamafu… ithumele lo muntu nalabo abamlandelayo echibini lomlilo; kepha ukuletha ukulunga kwezikhathi zombuso, okungukuthi, okuseleyo, kungcweliswe usuku lwesikhombisa… Lokhu kuzokwenzeka ngezikhathi zombuso, okungukuthi, ngosuku lwesikhombisa… iSabatha leqiniso labalungile. —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); I-Adversus Haereses, u-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4, Obaba beBandla, I-CIMA Publishing Co

… Lapho iNdodana yakhe izofika ibhubhise isikhathi somuntu ongenamthetho futhi yahlulele abangamhloniphi uNkulunkulu, futhi ishintshe ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi — khona-ke Uzophumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa… emva kokuphumula kuzo zonke izinto, ukuqala kosuku lwesishiyagalombili, okungukuthi, ukuqala kwelinye izwe. -Incwadi kaBarnaba (70-79 AD), eyabhalwa nguyise Weminyaka Eyesibili Yabaphostoli

Ngakho kule ndaba, uJesu ngempela uyeza, ^[3]qhathanisa Ingabe UJesu Uyeza Ngempela? kodwa hhayi ukubusa enyameni njengoba Afika eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule. Kunalokho, “ukukhulelwa” ngokuqinisekile eBandleni ukuze, ngaye, uJesu abe ngempela ukukhanya kuye. konke izizwe.

[UMariya] wathunywa ukuba alungiselele uMlobokazi ngokuhlanza “yebo” wethu ukuze afane nowakhe, ukuze wonke uKristu, iNhloko noMzimba, anikele umhlatshelo ophelele wothando kuBaba. U-"yebo" wakhe njengomuntu osemphakathini manje enikezwa iBandla njengomuntu ohlangene. Manje uMariya ufuna ukuzinikela kwethu kuye ukuze asilungiselele futhi asilethe ku-“yebo” kaJesu opholile esiphambanweni. Udinga ukuzinikela kwethu hhayi nje ukuzinikela okungacacile nokuzinikela. Kunalokho, udinga ukuzinikela kwethu kanye nokuhlonipha kwethu emsuka wencazelo yamagama, okungukuthi, “ukuzinikela” njengokunikeza izifungo zethu (ukuzehlukanisela) kanye “nokuzinikela” njengempendulo yamadodana anothando. Ukuze siqonde lo mbono wesu likaNkulunkulu lokulungiselela uMlobokazi wakhe “inkathi entsha,” sidinga ukuhlakanipha okusha. Lokhu kuhlakanipha okusha kutholakala ikakhulukazi kulabo abazinikele kuMariya, iSihlalo Sokuhlakanipha. -Umoya Nomlobokazi Bathi “Woza!”, Fr. UGeorge Farrell noFr. George Kosicki, p. 75-76

Ngakho-ke, njengoba ngike ngasho ngaphambili, akwanele ukumane “uzazi” lezi zinto. Kunalokho, kudingeka sizifake ngaphakathi ngokusebenzisa Umthandazo futhi yokwahlukaniselwa kulo Mfazi. Kufanele singene esikoleni se-Our Lady, esikwenza “ngomthandazo wenhliziyo”: ngokusondela eMiseni ngothando nokuzinikela, ukunaka nokuqaphela; nge ethandaza kusukela inhliziyo, njengoba besiyokhuluma nomngane; ngokuthanda uNkulunkulu, ukufuna kuqala uMbuso waKhe, nokumkhonza komakhelwane bethu. Ngalezi zindlela, uMbuso kaNkulunkulu usuzoqala ukubusa kini, futhi ukusuka kulesi sikhathi kuya kwelandelayo kuyoba intokozo nethemba, ngisho naphakathi kokuhlupheka.

Ngenxa yenjabulo eyayiphambi kwakhe wakhuthazelela isiphambano… (KumaHebheru 12:2)

Futhi kuJesu, kwakukhona futhi isiphephelo ngaphansi kwesiphambano.

Umama wami nguMphongolo kaNowa. —UJesu ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann, Ilangabi Lothando, p. 109; nge Imprimatur kusuka ku-Archbishop Charles Chaput

Njengoba lesi Siphepho Esikhulu siba nodlame futhi sinolaka, "Uzokuqonda kahle," kusho uJeremiya. Kanjani? INkosikazi yethu iyiSihlalo Sokuhlakanipha—njengaleso Sihlalo SoMusa esake sathwesa umqhele “womphongolo wesivumelwano esisha.” Ikona in futhi ngokusebenzisa UMariya “egcwele umusa” ukuthi uJesu uzosinika ukuhlakanipha ukuze sidlule kulesi Siphepho njengoba simthatha abe yisiphephelo esiyiso, ngentando kaBaba.
