KUSUKELA lokhu kuthunyelwe okokuqala, ngo-Septhemba 7, 2008, isinqumo sesenziwe eCanada: kuzoba khona cha ukuvikelwa kwengane engakazalwa, akukho ukuphela kokukhipha isisu emehlweni. Futhi manje, iMelika ibhekene nesinqumo sayo esikhulu kunazo zonke. Ngingeze ividiyo engezansi engisanda kuyiqopha. Kuyisengezo embhalweni ongezansi, kulelihora lesinqumo. (Qaphela: usuku lokhetho lungoNovemba 4, hhayi olwesibili, njengoba kushiwo kuvidiyo.)
Ingane ekhishwe isisu ngamaviki ayishumi
NGESIKHATHI SOMDLALO WOMDLALO WOKUZALWA KUKA MARIYA
INTO okuphawulekayo kwenzeke kulokhu Unyaka Wokuvela. Emhlabeni wonke, kube nokuvela okungazelelwe futhi okukhomba "kwenkinga" yokukhipha isisu. Kufikile enkantolo, kohulumeni nakwabezindaba. Kube ngumgogodla wezinguquko zenhlalo emazweni amaningana, imvamisa evula umnyango wokukhipha isisu. Kuvele njengomugqa ocacile ohlukanisa phakathi kwesobunxele nangakwesokudla, olondolozayo nonenkululeko, wesimanjemanje nowesintu. Kepha kukhona okuningi kulokhu, ngiyakholwa, kunokuhlangana neso.
Ngizwe iNkosi ithi lokhu kuvela kwesisu phambili kwepolitiki kanye nempikiswano kuyisivivinyo: umhlaba uyaquliswa amacala, futhi ngaphambi kokuba iJaji libeke isigwebo, kunethuba elilodwa lokugcina lokuphenduka ngaleli cala elinyantisayo.
PHAMBILI
Ngokombono waseNyakatho Melika, kwenzeke izehlakalo ezimbili ezingalindelekile nezibalulekile. UDkt. Henry Morgentaler ungummeli ohamba phambili wokukhishwa kwezisu eCanada. Uziqhayisa ngokukhipha isisu ngaphezu kwezingane eziyi-100 000. Muva nje, uklonyeliswe ngendondo ephakeme kunazo zonke ezweni, i-Order of Canada. Ukuqokwa kwakhe — kanye nentukuthelo eyalandela eyabangelwa yimikhakha ethile yezwe —- kwenze ukuthi isisu sihambe phambili kunembeza waseCanada.
Omunye umcimbi ukuphakanyiswa kukaSarah Palin njengePhini Likamongameli wase-United States. Ungummeli oqinile wokuphila, kusukela engakazalwa kuya kulabo "abanezidingo ezikhethekile." Ume ngokugqama kumbangi wakhe ongumengameli, uBarack Obama, onguye kwirekhodi ukuvikela zonke izinhlobo zokukhipha isisu, kufaka phakathi ukuzalwa okuyingxenye futhi ukukhipha izisu bukhoma okusobala ukuthi ukubulawa kwezinsana. Ukuqokwa kwakhe kulethe impi phakathi kwesiko lempilo kanye nesiko lokufa phambili kunembeza waseMelika.
Isikhathi sokukhetha. Ukubhekana neqiniso lokuthi siyini isisu, bese usimisa — noma ubhekane neqiniso lokuthi siyini isisu, usiphike… bese ubhekana nemiphumela yesinqumo sethu.
IHORA LESINQUMO
Lokhu akumayelana nomunye umjikelezo wezimpikiswano ngamalungelo abesifazane noma ilungelo lokukhetha. Lokhu kungukukhanya kukanembeza odabeni olubaluleke kakhulu kwezenhlalo ezweni lanamuhla. Kuthathwa impilo ngenkathi kukhishwa isisu. Inhliziyo yomuntu iyayeka ukushaya. Izicucu zomzimba zikhishwa kumama, ingane kaningi ashisiwe ngesisombululo sikasawoti noma kudayiwe kwaba izingxenye eziningana. Lokhu kumayelana nokunikelwa komuntu ezikhathini zanamuhla. Lokhu kumayelana nokubulawa kwabantu, ukubulawa kwezinsana nokubulawa kwabantu. Futhi manje ibheke eNyakatho Melika ngokuphelele ebusweni.
Amakhosi akwaJuda agcwalise le ndawo ngegazi labangenacala. Bakhele uBali izindawo eziphakemeyo ukuze afake amadodana abo emlilweni njengomnikelo wokushiswa kuBali: into engingayalanga ngayo noma engakhuluma ngayo, futhi ayikaze ingene engqondweni yami. (Jer 19: 4-5)
Akukangeni emqondweni kaNkulunkulu, lokhu kushaqeka kwansuku zonke kudlalwa emitholampilo yethu exhaswe ngentela nakubantu abakhipha izisu abenza inzuzo. Ubani owayengacabanga imboni eyizigidigidi zamadola okuhweba kwayo kungabantu abancane kakhulu nabangenakuzisiza? Ubani nje owayengacabanga ukuthi indawo ephephe kunazo zonke emhlabeni — isibeletho sikamama — yayiyoba nobudlova kakhulu?
Akusikho nje ukuqondana kwezinto ukuthi umhlaba manje ukhulume “ngobuphekula” nangokuthi “amaphekula.” Ngoba leso yisigwebo uNkulunkulu asibeka phezu kweJerusalema kanye noJuda wonke ngomhlatshelo wabo wabamsulwa kuBali:
Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakukukhaphela uvalo, wena nabangane bakho bonke. Amehlo akho ayakubabona bewa ngenkemba yezitha zabo. Wonke uJuda ngizomnikela enkosini yaseBabiloni, futhi izobathumbela eBabiloni noma ibabulale ngenkemba. (Jeremiya 20: 4)
ISEXWAYISO ESIPROFETHA
Ukukhuluma ngalezi zinto kunzima. Ukusho okubekwe enhliziyweni yami kuyadingeka:
Noma nini lapho ngikhuluma, kufanele ngimemeze, udlame nolaka ngumyalezo wami; Izwi likaJehova lingihlekisile nokuhlekwa usuku lonke. Ngithi kimi, angizukukhuluma ngaye, angisayikukhuluma egameni lakhe. Kodwa-ke kuba njengomlilo ovuthayo enhliziyweni yami, uboshwe emathanjeni ami; Ngiyakhathala ukuyibamba, angikwazi ukuyibekezelela. (Jeremiya 20: 8-9)
Sengikhulumile mayelana nesexwayiso esingangabazeki engisitholile kolunye lwezinkambo zami zekhonsathi ngidlula e-United States ngisendleleni eya enhlokodolobha yaseCanada (bheka 3 Amadolobha kanye nesixwayiso eCanada). Leso sixwayiso siphinde sivele enhliziyweni yami ngamazwi acace bha. Uma isono sokukhipha isisu singaphendukanga, uNkulunkulu uzosusa ukuvikela Kwakhe kuleli zwekazi, futhi ukuhlasela kwamasosha kuzokwenzeka.
Uthi: “Indlela yeNkosi ayilingani.” Ake nizwe, ndlu yakwa-Israyeli: Ingabe indlela yami ayikalungile na? (Hezekeli 18:25)
Singakuhlwanyela kanjani ekufeni ngaphandle kokuvuna ukufa? Singatshala kanjani ngodlame ngaphandle kokuvuna udlame? Ngabe siwubuwula yini ekukholweni ukuthi imithetho yezomoya imisiwe kulesi sizukulwane?
Isithelo sokukhipha isisu impi yenuzi. —Ubusisiwe uMama Teresa waseCalcutta
Into kuphela emisiwe ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu…
… Ngokuba unomusa nobumnene, uyephuza ukuthukuthela, ucebile ngomusa, uyaphenduka ekujezisweni. (Joweli 2:13)
Ngenkathi ngilungiselela lo mbhalo, umfundi ngokuzumayo wanquma ukungithumelela iphupho ayenalo ngalesi sikhathi nge-Fall edlule. Okuthile kungitshela ukuthi isikhathi sakhe asikho ngokungahambi kahle:
Ake ngikutshele umbono noma iphupho engibe nalo ngomhlaka 9/18/07 ngo-3 ekuseni. Ngiyikhumbula njengayizolo. Ngangilele obuthongo lapho ngokuzumayo ngibona ukuqhuma kwenuzi okungu-4 noma okungu-5 ogwini olusentshonalanga noma entshonalanga. Kwakungathi ngiphezulu emoyeni ngibabuka kude. Kuphele umzuzu noma ngaphezulu lapho ngivuka ngithukile. Izinyembezi bezigeleza emehlweni ami futhi ngilokhu ngizwa izwi liphindelela: “Unyaka wokuphenduka”Nokho bengingakhali, kepha amanzi ebegeleza ezihlathini zami. Angikaze ngithole into enjengayo phambilini noma kusukela lapho futhi ngiyazi ukuthi unyaka usuzophela…
Ingabe iphupho lakhe lingokoqobo? Ingabe kungokomfanekiso? Ingabe kungumyalezo ophuthumayo ezinkulungwaneni ezifunda le mibhalo? Ngizophinda futhi ngithi: uma lesi sizukulwane singaphenduka, uNkulunkulu ubengazisola. Kepha ilanga seliyashona kulisiko lokufa, futhi kungekudala umhlaba wonke uzongena ebumnyameni uma singaphenduki kule ndlela yokubhujiswa.
Vuthelani icilongo eSiyoni, nihlabe umkhosi entabeni yami engcwele. Bonke abakhileyo ezweni mabathuthumele, ngokuba usuku lukaJehova luyeza; Kusondele, usuku lobumnyama nolwesigayegaye, usuku lwamafu nobumnyama; (Joweli 2: 1-2)
UKULUNGISWA
Thina, iSonto, kumele sibe ngabokuqala ukuphenduka. Ngenkathi uPaul VI ekhala nge-encyclical yakhe I-Humanae Vitae ukuthi ukulawulwa kokuzalwa kungaholela ekwehlisweni kwezindinganiso zokuziphatha kanye nokusetshenziswa kabi kwamandla nguhulumeni ukungenelela ocansini lomuntu, wayenganakwa. I-Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) yakhipha “iSitatimende saseWinnipeg” esasithi lowo olandelayo…
… Leyo nkambo ebonakala ilungile kuye, yenza kanjalo ngonembeza omuhle. —Ababhishobhi baseCanada baphendula bathi I-Humanae Vitae; IPlenary Assembly ebibanjelwe eSt. Boniface, Winnipeg, Canada, ngomhlaka 27 Septemba, 1968
Kubeke isibonelo, hhayi kuleli kuphela, kepha nasemhlabeni wonke ukuthi abefundisi beluleke abathembekile ukuba bamane benze lokho "okubonakala kulungile" engqondweni yomuntu. Impela nami ngalandela leyo nqubo eyiphutha, kepha ngomusa kaNkulunkulu uMoya oNgcwele wakhomba iphutha lami elikhulu futhi nganikwa ithuba lokuphenduka (bheka Ubufakazi Obuseduze).
Isikhathi sokuthi iCCCB ihoxise isitatimende sayo, alungise amaphutha alo, futhi afundise ngokuvumelana noBaba Ongcwele amaqiniso anamandla ngempilo yomuntu nobulili kulowo mbhalo.
Imiphumela yesiko lokuvimbela inzalo iyabonakala esikweni ngokukhipha isisu nangombuzo womshado. Ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele siyivakashele kabusha (I-Humanae Vitae) futhi sivule izinhliziyo zethu ekuhlakanipheni kwalo mbhalo. —UKhadinali Marc Ouellet, Induna yaseCanada, LifeSiteNews.com, EQuebec City, ngoJuni 19, 2008
Ukwamukelwa okubanzi kokulawulwa kokuzalwa eSontweni kuholele ekutheni kube ne-tsunami yokuziphatha okuyisidididi manje esongela yona inkululeko yeSonto yokuphila eNtshonalanga (bheka Ushushiso!). Izindimbane zokuhlawuliswa kufanele zinikezwe kuwo wonke amaSonto eNyakatho Melika ngesono sokuvimbela inzalo kanye nokukhipha isisu. Lapho-ke abaholi — osopolitiki, izikhulu zikahulumeni, nabahluleli beNkantolo Ephakeme — kumele balahle umkhuba wokukhipha izisu futhi bachithe imithetho evumele lokho.
Khona-ke, mhlawumbe, iNkosi iyophenduka, futhi isigone njengoba ubaba enza endodaneni yolahleko. Lesi yisifiso Sakhe esivuthayo!
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, kuSt. Faustina, Idayari: Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami,n. 1588)
Yebo, umyalezo engiwubhala namhlanje ungethemba: ukuthi indlela yokubhujiswa esiqonde kuyo kungenzeka ivinjelwe ngokuphenduka, ngoba uNkulunkulu owasidala uyabekezela, unomusa futhi unesihe.
Kepha o, ihora selephuze kakhulu!
Lapho umuntu olungileyo efulathela ubuhle enze ububi, bese efa, kungenxa yobubi abenzile okufanele afe. Kepha uma umuntu omubi ebuya ebubini abenzileyo, enza okulungile nokulungileyo, uyakugcina impilo yakhe (Hezekeli 18: 26-27)
