INI ingane ayithandi uswidi? Kepha vumela ingane efanayo ikhululeke esitolo sikaswidi ukuze ikhokhele noma yini eyifunayo… futhi kungekudala izolangazelela imifino.
IVACUUM ENKULU
Ngenkathi u-Archbishop Chaput waseFiladelphia evakashela eCanada eminyakeni eyishumi eyedlule, wavuma ngokumangazayo:
… Ayikho indlela elula yokukusho. ISonto e-United States lenze umsebenzi omubi wokwakha ukholo nonembeza wamaKhatholika iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40. Futhi manje sivuna imiphumela — esigcawini somphakathi, emindenini yethu nasekudidekeni kwempilo yethu. - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Ukunikela KuKesari: Umsebenzi Wezombusazwe WamaKatolika, NgoFebhuwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada
Kepha akuyona i-United States kuphela:
Inkinga engokomoya ibandakanya umhlaba wonke. Kepha umthombo wayo useYurophu. Abantu baseNtshonalanga banecala lokwenqaba uNkulunkulu… Ukuwa okungokomoya ngaleyo ndlela kunomlingiswa waseNtshonalanga kakhulu. —Ukhadinali Robert Sarah, I-Catholic Herald, Ngo-Ephreli 5th, i-2019
Emashumini amaningi eminyaka, ukushunyayelwa nokufundiswa okuningi epulpiti, ngaphandle kokuqiniseka, kube “uswidi” —amakholori angenalutho ezinto zanamuhla eziye zaqeda ukunotha kweNkambiso Engcwele yazo zonke izinto eziyimfihlakalo nezingaphezu kwamandla emvelo. Izimangaliso zikaKristu? Ziyizindaba nje. Imibukiso ka-Lady Wethu? Ukubona izinto ezingekho emthethweni. UMthendeleko? Uphawu nje. IMisa? Umkhosi, hhayi uMhlatshelo. Amandla kaMoya oNgcwele? Ukuzithokozisa ngokomzwelo.
ENKOLO NGENDALO
Kepha umuntu, ngokwemvelo, uyisidalwa somoya. Sasenzelwe ukungaqondakali futhi sasimiselwe okungaphezu kwemvelo. “Usenzele iNkosi, futhi inhliziyo yethu ayinakho ukuthula kuze kube ithola ukuphumula kuwe,” kusho u-Augustine. Lokhu ukhiye ukuqonda ikusasa eliseduze leSonto kanye nomhlaba ekupheleni kwalesi sikhathi.
Isifiso sikaNkulunkulu silotshiwe enhliziyweni yomuntu, ngoba umuntu wadalwa uNkulunkulu noNkulunkulu… Ngezindlela eziningi, kuwo wonke umlando kuze kube namuhla, abantu bakhombise ukufuna kwabo uNkulunkulu ngezinkolelo zabo nokuziphatha kwabo: imithandazo yabo, imihlatshelo, amasiko, ukuzindla, njalonjalo. Lezi zinhlobo zokukhuluma ngokwenkolo, naphezu kokungaqondakali okuvame ukuletha nazo, zande kakhulu kangangokuba umuntu angabiza umuntu ngokuthi inkolo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 27-28
Ngihlala ngimangazwa indlela abantu abangasonteli abakwazi ngayo ukuxoxa. Ngempela, kusukela ekuqaleni kwendalo, umuntu uye wafuna okungaphezulu: sifuna ukubona uNkulunkulu.
UKUGCWALISEKA
Ukugcwaliseka kwalesi sifiso kweza ngendlela yokuba senyameni nokwambulwa kukaJesu Kristu. Lapho iSonto lokuqala liphuma egumbini eliphezulu, ligcwele uMoya oNgcwele, ubuKristu baqhuma ngokoqobo ubusuku bonke. Izinkulungwane zaguquka zisuka ebuJudeni nasenkolweni yobuhedeni zangena ebuKatolikeni — inkolo yezimpawu nezimangaliso, izimpawu ezinhle nezingoma ezigcotshiwe, zefilosofi ezwakalayo nemfundiso ejulile yenkolo eyagcina iguqule uMbuso WaseRoma. Emakhulwini eminyaka alandelayo, leli qiniso eliyimfihlakalo lafakwa ebucikweni obungcwele, amasonto ababhishobhi amakhulu, amaculo aphambili nezinkonzo ezingcwele ezazithutha umphefumulo ngokukhuphuka kwempepho, ukukhanyisa amakhandlela, kanye nenkundla yemidlalo engcwele ekhazimulayo. Mangaki imiphefumulo ehlangane neDark Spark ngokumane nje ingene eSontweni lamaKatolika!
Kepha manje, a Umshini Omkhulu idaliwe. Ubuhlakani obomile futhi ukucabanga okunengqondo weSonto LaseNtshonalanga usuthulule ubuKatolika emandleni angaphezu kwawemvelo. Uthando lwethu selupholile; ukuzinikela kwethu kuye iphunga; ilangabi lokholo alilutho nje ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba. Ngakho-ke, yini iSonto okufanele linikele ngayo emhlabeni uma yona ingazi yona uqobo? Ngaphandle kokuxhuma kwamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo (okungukuthi, amandla aphilayo, agelezayo kaMoya oNgcwele), ngisho namabhishobhi amahle kakhulu aphenduka iminyuziyamu.
IKHANDLELA LIKASATHANE
Ngasikhathi sinye, "amaphutha aseRussia," njengoba i-Our Lady of Fatima ibabiza kanjalo, abelokhu esabalala emhlabeni wonke: ukungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, iDarwinism, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo, iMarxism, ubusoshiyali, ubukhomanisi, ubumbano, ubufazi obunamandla, 
njll. Lawa ngamaskandi kaSathane — ama-sophistries anikeze ukuqhosha komuntu futhi athembisa ngamanga ubumnandi be-utopia yesikhashana. Njengesithelo esikhazimulayo esihlahleni Sokwazi okuhle nokubi, leyonyoka ithembise umgqomo ogcwele izinto ezinhle ezingenakuphikiswa: “Nizoba njengonkulunkulu.” [1]IGen 3: 5 Ngakho-ke, uhole isintu kancane kancane, amashumi ngamashumi eminyaka, ebhekisa koswidi obonakala emnandi kunabo bonke: ukuzimela lapho singaba ngamakhosi angagcini ngokuchaza kabusha ubunjalo bethu kepha aguqule zona kanye izakhi zomkhathi, kubandakanya ne-DNA yethu. "Umuntu" omusha kulokhu inguquko yabantu akayona indoda nhlobo:
INew Age esekuseni izokwakhelwa ngabantu abaphelele, abanobuhlakani abaphethe ngokuphelele imithetho yemvelo. Kulesi simo, ubuKrestu kufanele bususwe futhi bunikezwe inkolo yomhlaba kanye nohlelo lomhlaba omusha. -UJesu Kristu, Umphathi Wamanzi Okuphila, hhayi. 4, Imikhandlu Yapapa Yezamasiko Nezingxoxo Ezingokwenkolo
Inkinga isemhlabeni wonke!… Sibhekene nomzuzwana wokubhujiswa komuntu njengomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Uhlangana nababhishobhi basePoland ku-World Youth Day, ngoJulayi 27, 2016; v Vatican.va
Lokhu kugomela kwe-ego njengokuphakeme, noma kunjalo, kuhambisana nezimpawu zokutshela ukuthi isithelo esikhazimulayo sinoshevu ngaphakathi. Izinga lokuzibulala liyanda; ukusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa kuya kungalawuleki; izithombe zobulili ezingcolile, ukudlala ividiyo futhi “ukuzijabulisa” okungenangqondo kudikibalisa imiphefumulo engenakubalwa njengoba abaningi befinyelela emithini elwa nokucindezelwa ukuze kunqandeke isicanucanu sezithembiso ezingenalutho zesakagethi. Kungani? Ngoba umuntu osesikhathini samanje ngokufanayo uyefana: "ngokwemvelo nangobizo ungumuntu wenkolo,"[2]CCC, n. 44 futhi ngenxa yalokho, uyezwa ukuthi udliswe amanga — njengoba ephuza i-Koolaid futhi efinyelela enye i-dopamine hit. Okuthile, ekujuleni ngaphakathi, ulangazelela okungaphezu kwemvelo; umoya wakhe womele abaphezulu; ingqondo yakhe ilambele injongo nencazelo yokuthi kuphela ubukhulu bokomoya ingahlinzeka.
Yebo, imiphefumulo namuhla iyavuka. “Abavukile” baqale ukuvukela i- isimo sezwe samanje. Inguquko Enkulu Bengilokhu ngikuxwayisa ngakho manje kokungasebenzi ngezinga lomchazi elibhekise “empini yokugcina” ebabazekayo. Lesi sizukulwane sikaGreta Thunbergs, David Hoggs, no-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs sesiqalile ukushaya phansi iminyango yeSitolo Samaswidi.
Zilungele imifino futhi.
Kodwa bayaphi? EBandleni, ngokusho kwabezindaba ababukayo, ingabe yindandatho yokulala nezingane? EBandleni okuthi, uma beya khona, kubonakale sengathi kunomngcwabo owenzekayo? EBandleni lelo, ngokuya likhula, lizwakala njengegumbi lama-echo le- imimoya mundi - umoya wezwe?
Cha, kunjalo ukuphendukela kwenye indawo. Lokho bekuyicebo likaSathane sonke isikhathi…
KUZOQHUTSHWA…
INew Word iyinkonzo yesikhathi esigcwele leyo
iyaqhubeka ngokweseka kwakho.
Akubusise, futhi ngiyabonga.
Ukuhamba noMark in The Manje iZwi,
chofoza isibhengezo esingezansi ukuze ubhalise.
I-imeyili yakho ngeke yabiwe nanoma ngubani.
