Khetha. ISikhumbuzo sikaSt. Callistus I, uPapa noMartyr
Izakhiwo ze-Liturgical lapha
IT kuvame ukuthiwa uJesu wayebekezelela “izoni” kodwa engababekezeleli abaFarisi. Kepha lokhu akulona iqiniso impela. UJesu wayejwayele ukubakhuza abaPhostoli, futhi empeleni eVangelini layizolo, kwakunguye isixuku sonke ayeqonde kubo ngokungagunci, exwayisa ngokuthi bazoboniswa isihe esincane kunabaseNineve:
Ngenkathi abantu abaningi besabuthene esixukwini, uJesu wathi kubo, “Lesi sizukulwane siyisizukulwane esibi…” (Luka 11:29)
Okubonakala kukhuthaza uJesu ngalezi zikhathi zokulungiswa kwakuyisithako esingaguquguquki kuzilaleli Zakhe: ukuphindeka. Izolo, abantu bebefuna izimpawu, kepha uJesu uzivezile izinhloso zabo zangempela. Ngokunjalo, abaPhostoli babejwayele ukusolwa ngokukhathazeka kakhulu ngedumela labo kunokusebenzela abanye. Futhi namhlanje, umFarisi walungiswa ngomsebenzi wakhe wangaphambi kokulawula isimo esikhona kunokuthi aguqule isimo senhliziyo yakhe.
Hawu baFarisi! Noma uhlanza ingaphandle lendebe nesitsha, ngaphakathi kugcwele impango nokubi. (IVangeli Lanamuhla)
Yebo, iNkosi ibonakala iphazamiseke kakhulu lapho abantu besonto yisho lokhu, wenze okunye. Izincwadi zokuqala eziyisikhombisa kusAmbulo ezibhalelwe amasonto kanye "nezingelosi" zawo (obekuzwakala nokuthi kusho abaholi bazo) ziqukethe, phakathi kwamagama enkuthazo, ukukhuza okuqinile "esivivi" ngenxa yabo ukwehlisa. Njengencwadi eya eThiyathira (khumbula, lokhu kukhulunywa nguJesu):
Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nothando, nokukholwa, nokusebenzela kwakho… Kepha nginalokhu ngawe, ukuthi uyabekezelela owesifazana u-Izebeli, ozibiza ngomprofethikazi, ofundisa futhi akhohlise izinceku zami ukuba ziziphathe kabi, futhi zidle ukudla okuhlatshelwe izithombe. Ngimnike isikhathi sokuthi aphenduke, kepha uyenqaba ukuphenduka ekuziphatheni okubi kwakhe. Bheka, ngizomphonsa embhedeni wokugula, futhi labo abaphinga naye ngiyobaphonsa osizini olukhulu, ngaphandle uma bephenduka ezenzweni zabo… (IsAm 2: 19-22)
Sizwa kuphindwa futhi esifundweni sokuqala sanamuhla: UKristu wasikhulula sathola inkululeko. Kuwukuhlambalaza iNkosi yethu ukuthi "ibekezelele" futhi ikhuthaze - noma ngabe kuyalimaza noma kucacile — izwi likaJezebeli, izwi lika ubugqila. Ngicishe ngizwe uJesu ememeza ethi: “Awazi yini ukuthi ngihlupheke ukuze ngikukhulule? Ukukwenza ube ngcwele? Ukukwenza ufane Nami? ”
Ngakho-ke, kufanele uphelele, njengoba noYihlo osezulwini ephelele. (Math 5:48)
Ingaphandle kufanele lifane nengaphakathi, futhi ngokufanayo. UJesu ufuna sibe ngcwele, siphelele, ngoba kulapho-ke lapho siyojabula khona kakhulu.
Ikhambi lobuzenzisi likhulunywe kahle kwiHubo namuhla: kungukuvumelanisa izenzo zakho nenhliziyo yomuntu ngokwenza zombili zivumelane neZwi likaNkulunkulu, ikakhulukazi, imiyalo yaKhe - iqiniso elisikhululayo.
Ungalithathi izwi leqiniso emlonyeni wami, ngoba ithemba lami ngezahlulelo zakho… Futhi ngizohamba inkululekongoba ngiyafuna iziyalezo zakho. (Ihubo lanamuhla)
Umuntu akakwazi ukuyithola leyo njabulo yeqiniso ayilangazelela ngamandla onke omoya wakhe, ngaphandle kokuthi agcine imithetho uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ayiqophile esimweni sakhe uqobo. —I-POPE PAUL VI, I-Humanae Vitae, Encyclical, n. 31; Julayi 25, 1968
