Ubusuku Bokholo

UKUVUSELELWA KWELENTEN
Usuku 40

 

FUTHI ngakho-ke, sesifikile ekugcineni kokuhlehla kwethu… kodwa ngiyakuqinisekisa, kuyisiqalo nje: ukuqala kwempi enkulu yezikhathi zethu. Kungukuqala kwalokho uSt. John Paul II akubiza…

… Ukungqubuzana kokugcina phakathi kweSonto nabamelene neSonto, kweVangeli kuqhathaniswa neVangeli eliphikisayo. Lokhu kungqubuzana kungaphakathi kwezinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu; kuyicala okumele iSonto lonke, ikakhulukazi iSonto LasePoland, liluthathe. Isivivinyo sesizwe sethu kanye neBandla hhayi kuphela, kepha ngandlela-thile isivivinyo seminyaka engama-2000 yamasiko nempucuko yamaKrestu, nayo yonke imiphumela yayo enesithunzi somuntu, amalungelo ngamanye, amalungelo abantu namalungelo ezizwe. —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), e-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA; Agasti 13, 1976; isib. yanyathelisa kabusha i-Wall Street Journal kaNovemba 9, 1978

Futhi nokho, njengoba nje iSiphambano simi “njengesikhubekiso kumaJuda nobuwula kwabezizwe,” ^[1]I-1 Cor 1: 23 kanjalo nebutho uNkulunkulu aliqoqele le mpi. Iholwa yiVirgin ethobekile, akusilo ibutho elilwa ngokwenyama ngezikhali zenuzi, i-laser, noma ugesi; noma ngokwesaba, ukwesaba, nokungabi nabulungisa; kodwa kunalokho, ngezikhali ze ukholo, ngethemba, Futhi ukuthanda. ^[2]qhathanisa UGideyoni Omusha

… Izikhali zempi yethu akuzona ezenyama kodwa zinamandla amakhulu, ziyakwazi ukubhubhisa izinqaba. (2 Kor 10: 3-4)

Ngalo Mgqibelo Ongcwele, kubukeka sengathi umhlaba wonke usongwe ngobumnyama beThuna; ukuthi ukufa uqobo kucindezela amasiko ethu kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, njengoba ukubulawa kwesiguli, ukukhipha isisu, ukuzibulala, inzalo, nokulawulwa kokuzalwa akubi nje “ngamalungelo,” kodwa “kuyizinsizakalo” eziyimpoqo okumele zinikezwe ngisho nayizikhungo zamaKatolika. Ngesikhathi ngibhala lo musho, umsakazi onesibindi we "Radio Maria" eToronto wangibhalela ethi,

Angisenawo umuzwa wokuthi ngiyisakhamuzi saseCanada ngoba izwe lakithi seliyisihambi, linobutha futhi alikho kulokho engikukholelwayo. Siphila ekudingisweni esizweni sakithi. -Lou Iacobelli, umphathi we "Family Matters," Mashi 25, 2016

Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi iningi lenu eMelika, eSyria, e-Ireland, kulo lonke elaseYurophu nakwezinye izindawo lizizwa ngendlela efanayo. Kepha nihambisane kahle, ngoba yizinzalamizi zeTestamente Elidala ezaphila futhi zafa ngokukholwa okufanayo eninenkinga ngakho ukugcina:

Abazange bakuthole okwakuthenjisiwe kepha bakubona futhi bakubingelela bekude futhi bavuma ukuthi bangabafokazi nabafokazi emhlabeni, ngoba labo abakhuluma kanjalo bakhombisa ukuthi bafuna izwe lakubo. (Heb 11: 13-14)

Kepha ukufuna izwe lethu lasezulwini akusiso neze isenzo sokushiya umhlaba kuwo uqobo. Njengoba ngicaphune ku I-Counter-Revolution,

Asikwazi ukwamukela ngomoya ophansi sonke isintu esibuyele emuva ebuhedeni. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), The New Evangelization, Building the Civilization of Love; Ikheli elibhekiswe kubafundisi beKhathekisthi neNkolo, ngoDisemba 12, 2000

… Awumele ume ungenzi lutho uma impilo yomakhelwane wakho isengozini. (bheka uLev 19:16)

Futhi-ke, inhloso yale Retreat ukusikhombisa Kanjani singaba ukukhanya kwangempela nesibonakaliso sethemba kumakhelwane wethu. Futhi lokhu, ngokuchitha konke nokufa kithi ukuze uJesu akwazi ukuvuka aphile kithi ngokutshala impilo yangaphakathi.

Ngakuthola kuthakazelisa ukuthi, ngosuku lokuqala lwale Retreat, ngagqugquzelwa ukuthi ngicele ukulawulwa kukaSt. Mildred (bheka Usuku 1), ngoba akayona ingcwele engake ngayicela futhi angazi lutho ngayo. Ngakho-ke ngemuva kokubhala lokho kuzindla, ngambheka. “UMildred wayedume ngobungcwele obukhulu… wakulahla lokho okwakungaba yimpilo yakhe yobuntofontofo. Ukuzinikela kwakhe ezintweni zomhlaba kwaholela ekuzinikeleni okuqinile kuJesu nakwabampofu Bakhe. ” ^[3]qhathanisa catholic.org Ngamafuphi, uSt. Mildred wayenempilo yangempela yangaphakathi eyayikhanyisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu. Ngikhunjuzwa “ngezwi” umngane wami alikhuluma eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule elazwakala emphefumulweni wami: "Lesi akusona isikhathi senduduzo, kodwa isikhathi sezimangaliso."

Bekubuye kuvulwe Usuku 1 engikubhalile ukuthi mina nawe "siqeda umlando", ukuthi ngo "yebo" wethu kuNkulunkulu kulelihora, sinethuba lokuthinta inkambo yezwe - mhlawumbe asikho esinye isizukulwane samaKristu. Njengoba iNceku kaNkulunkulu uCatherine de Hueck Doherty esho,

Ngempela, lesi yisikhathi sobuqhawe. Ubuhle obujwayelekile, obenziwe kahle, sebuphenduke ubuqhawe ekudidekeni okuphelele kwezwe lanamuhla. -Lapho Uthando Lukhona, UNkulunkulu Ukhona, kusukela kukhalenda elithi “Moments of Grace”, Mashi 24

Kuyiqiniso impela! Ngokungazelelwe, umKatolika ovele abe khona eMiseni langeSonto ngokwethembeka ugqama phakathi kwesixuku; insizwa nentombi abahlala bemsulwa ngaphambi komshado banjengecilongo elikhala ngomsindo wokukhanuka; umphefumulo obambelela ngokuqinile emthethweni wokuziphatha wemvelo kanye namaqiniso angashintshi oKholo LwamaKatolika ufana nebhaluni lomoya elishisayo elithungela umlilo lishaqise futhi lithuse ubusuku obungenakuyekethisa. Njengoba uKhadinali Burke asho,

Okubangela isimanga emphakathini onje iqiniso lokuthi umuntu uyehluleka ukugcina ukuhleleka kwezepolitiki futhi, ngalokho, kubonakala ngathi kuphazamisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi ukuthula komphakathi. - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uRaymond L. Burke, oyiProvince ye-Apostolic Signatura, Okubonisa ngomshikashika wokuthuthukisa isiko lempilo, ngaphakathi kweCatholic Partnership Dinner, Washington, Septhemba 18, 2009

Yebo, yithina! Lelo yiqembu labaphostoli elikhathele kodwa elithembekile esibizelwe ukuba sibe yilo. Uyabona-ke, ithuba lokuba ngcwele alikaze libe likhulu ngokwedlulele — futhi lingadingeki kakhulu. Ngoba njengoba uJohn Paul II asho,

Ukulalela uKrestu nokumkhonza kuholela ekutheni sithathe izinqumo ezinesibindi, sithathe lezo ngezinye izikhathi okuyizinqumo zobuqhawe. UJesu ufuna ngenkani, ngoba ufisa injabulo yethu yangempela. ISonto lidinga abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, futhi abantu abangcwele kuphela abangavuselela ubuntu. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo Wosuku Lwentsha Lomhlaba Wonke ngo-2005, iVatican City, Agasti 27, 2004, iZenit

Ngakho-ke, isidingo se- isibindi ayikaze ibe nkulu kunamanje: ukuze abantu babe amadoda futhi, nabesifazane ukuba babe real abesifazane. Isithombe sowesilisa nowesifazane sihlanekezelwe ngendlela eyisimanga namuhla, ukuthi kungukucabanga kuphela ngobuso bukaJesu — Lowo ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu — lapho singathola khona isithombe sikaNkulunkulu nathi esidalwe kuso. Ngakho-ke, kudingeka ukuthi "sigqugquzele emlilweni isipho sikaNkulunkulu" esisitholile ngoBhaphathizo kanye nokuQinisekiswa kwethu. 

Ngoba uNkulunkulu akasinikanga umoya wobugwala kepha wamandla namandla nothando nokuzithiba. (2 Thim 1: 7)

Futhi lesi sipho sesibindi siza, njengoba kwenzeka kuJesu eGetsemane, lapho sikhuleka futhi sihlala sithembekile: “Hhayi intando yami kodwa eyakho mayenziwe.” Khona-ke ingelosi izofika izosiqinisa nathi, njengoba yenza nakuJesu. ^[4]isib. ULuka 22:32 Kepha uma amehlo ethu engagxili kuBaba, kodwa kubalindi bethempeli nezibani zabo nezikhali zabo; uma ukubuka kwethu kuphazanyiswa amagagasi abhongayo alesi Siphepho samanje, kunokuba abheke kuJesu ngemuva kwesikebhe; uma 'singalaleli uKristu futhi simkhulekele'… lapho-ke isibindi somuntu siyokwenza kanjalo uhluleka. Ngoba ukukhohlisa okwehlela umhlaba kunjalo “Bekhulu kakhulu ukukhohlisa, uma kungenzeka, ngisho nabakhethiweyo.” ^[5]isib. Mat 24:24 Kepha uJesu uthi kini namuhla enilwela ukwethembeka:

Ngoba ugcinile umyalezo wami wokukhuthazela, ngizokugcina uphephile ngesikhathi sokulingwa esizofika emhlabeni wonke ukuvivinya abakhileyo emhlabeni. Ngiyeza masinyane. Bambisisa lokho onakho, ukuze kungabikho muntu ozothatha umqhele wakho. (IsAm 3: 10-11)

Singumzimba, iSonto, nalo elingena ebusuku bokukholwa (funda Ikhandlela Elishunqayo).

Ngaphambi kokuza kwesibili kukaKristu iSonto kumele lidlule esivivinyweni sokugcina esizonyakazisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaningi… ISonto lizongena enkazimulweni yombuso kuphela ngaleli Phasika lokugcina, lapho lizolandela khona iNkosi yalo ekufeni nasekuVukeni kwalo. - ICatechism of the Catholic Church, n. 672, 677

Ngenkathi izikhathi nezinkathi zingaphezu kwamandla ethu, iningi labapapa ngekhulu elidlule baphakamise ngokusobala ukuthi sesiqala ukubona izibonakaliso ezivela "ezikhathini zokuphela", ezivela emaVangelini naseNcwadini yeSambulo. ^[6]bheka Kungani Abapapa Bengamemezi? Ngakho-ke mangiphinde ngiyicaphune leyo ncwadi futhi:

Fakaza kuJesu umoya wesiphrofetho. (IsAm 19:10)

Yebo, kunezambulo eziningi ezizimele neziphrofetho namuhla, kepha lapha unakho kakhulu inhliziyo kwalo, isiprofetho esiyinhloko phakathi kweziprofetho zezikhathi zokugcina: “Fakaza ngoJesu.” Futhi yingakho uMama Obusisiwe ebiza iSonto kaningi ngalesi sikhathi ekubukeni kwangaphakathi kuKristu, impilo yangaphakathi yomkhuleko nokuhlangana noNkulunkulu ngokuphila iziNjabulo. Ngoba kulo mbono wokucabanga kuphela lapho singaguqulwa ngokuya sifana noJesu. Kungalesi sihlanganiso noNkulunkulu kuphela lapho singakhanya khona njengamabhaluni omoya ashisayo kulobu busuku bobumnyama futhi sinikeze ubufakazi obungokwesiprofetho. 

Futhi ubufakazi esibizelwe ukuba sibunikeze ngezimpilo zethu nangamazwi yilokho UJesu Kristu uyiNkosi. Ukuthi Nguye kuphela “Indlela, neqiniso, nokuphila.” Ukuthi kungukuphenduka ezonweni kanye nokukholwa othandweni lwaKhe lapho omunye wethu angasindiswa. O, yeka ukuthi leli Vangeli selidakwe kanjani namhlanje! Zingaki izindlela ezingamanga nezikhohlisayo eseziqhamukile, ngisho phakathi kwethu — kusuka ezimpisini ezigqoke isikhumba semvu. 

Kodwa noma thina noma ingelosi evela ezulwini inishumayeza ivangeli elihlukile kunaleli esanishumayeza lona, ​​makabe ngoqalekisiweyo. (Gal 1: 8)

Ngenkathi ngibheka isiphambano phakathi noLwesihlanu Olungileyo, ngezwa enhliziyweni yami izwi elikhulu njengokuduma kwezulu lisibiza ukuthi simemezele igama likaJesu futhi!

Ayikho insindiso ngomunye umuntu, futhi alikho elinye igama ngaphansi kwezulu elinikezwe uhlanga lwesintu esizosindiswa ngalo. (IzEnzo 4:12)

NjengamaKhatholika, sikhohliwe amandla egameni likaJesu! Bheka ukuthi kwenzekani ngesikhathi onogada bethempeli beza bebuza uJesu ngegama.

Lapho ethi kubo, “NGINGUYE,” bafulathela bawa phansi. (Johane 18: 6)

Nakhu amandla kuleli Gama. Amandla wokukhulula, ukuphilisa, nokonga. Ngoba njengoba ikhathekizimu lifundisa, 

Ukuthandaza "uJesu" ukumncenga nokumbiza ngaphakathi kwethu. Igama lakhe yilona kuphela eliqukethe ukuba khona okushoyo. -ICatechism yeSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 2666

Kungakho amadimoni ebalekela egameni laKhe, ngokungafani negama lakho noma lami, ukusho uJesu ukumletha phakathi kwethu. Igama likaJesu liyisikhali esinamandla kakhulu esikwazi ukubhidliza izinqaba! Futhi-ke, njengombhalo waphansi wakho konke engikushilo ngomkhuleko, uma ufisa ukufunda ukuthandaza ungaphezi, njengoba kusho uSt.Paul… 

… Masinikele njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu ngomhlatshelo wokudumisa, okungukuthi, isithelo sezindebe ezivuma igama lakhe. (Heb 13:15)

Mhlawumbe “umkhuleko kaJesu” onamandla kakhulu walelihora emhlabeni yilowo esiwunikwe nguSt. Faustina: "Jesu, ngithemba wena." Ngemuva kweminyaka engama-2000 yobuKrestu, izinkulungwane zezimemezelo zobupapa, amakhulu emithetho ye-canon, kanye nenqwaba yamakhathekizimu, umyalezo uJesu awuphathele umhlaba wethu kulezi "zikhathi zokugcina" wehliselwe waba ngamagama amahlanu: "Jesu, ngithemba wena. ” Ngabe kwenzeka ngengozi ukuthi esiprofethweni somprofethi uJoel sokuphela kwesikhathi, uyabhala:

… Ngaphambi kokufika kosuku olukhulu nolubabazekayo lweNkosi… kuzosindiswa wonke umuntu obizayo igama leNkosi. (IzEnzo 2: 20-21)

Yebo, uNkulunkulu ukwenze kwaba lula ngathi: Jesu ngithemba wena. Nginomuzwa wokuthi ngaphambi kokuba iminyango yomusa ivalwe kulesi sizukulwane esilahlekile, lawo mazwi amahlanu azosindisa imiphefumulo eminingi. 

Manje, konke lokhu kusho, ngiyazi ukuthi lapho lokhu kuhoxa sekuphele isikhathi eside, futhi mina nawe sibuyela enkambisweni yansuku zonke yezimpilo zethu, injabulo, ugqozi, nokududuza esihlangabezane nakho kulezi zinsuku ezingamashumi amane ngokwemvelo kuzongena esikhundleni amandla adonsela phansi kobuthakathaka, izilingo nezilingo ezifuna ukusidonsela emhlabeni. Lobu futhi 'ubusuku bokukholwa' okumele ngamunye wethu abuphikelele. Isihluthulelo akukhona ukuvumela lelozwi lokuphelelwa yithemba elizokuklolodela, lithi, “Uyabona, yize kunalokhu kuhlehla, uhlala uyisoni esikhohlisayo. Awusoze waba ngcwele… uyisehluleki. ” Ngiyethemba ukuthi usuyabona manje ukuthi lokhu kunjalo hhayi izwi likaMoya oNgcwele, kepha “ummangaleli wabazalwane.” Lapho uMoya eza ukuzosilahla ngesono, uyohlala uthela izithelo zokuthula, naphakathi kwezinyembezi ezivuthayo zokululazeka. UMoya umnene; USathane unonya; umoya uletha ukukhanya emphefumulweni; USathane uletha ubumnyama obucindezelayo; uMoya unikeza ithemba; USathane uthembisa ukuphelelwa yithemba. Bafundi, bahlobo bami abathandekayo, ukuqonda phakathi kwala mazwi. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, funda ukuthembela emseni kaNkulunkulu ongabeki inani elithile lokuxolelwa, kepha uhlala ekulungele ukuthethelela.

Ngicabanga ukuthi le-anecdote encane evela eSt. Faustina iyisibonelo esihle kithina namuhla sendlela yokuphendula ngobusuku bokholo.

Lapho ngibona ukuthi umthwalo ungaphezu kwamandla ami, angiwucabangi noma ngiwuhlaziye noma ngiwuphenye, kepha ngigijimisa okomntwana Ngiye enhliziyweni kaJesu bese ngisho igama elilodwa kuye: "Ungenza zonke izinto." Bese ngiyathula, ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi noJesu uzongenelela odabeni, futhi mina, esikhundleni sokuzihlupha, ngisebenzisa leso sikhathi ukumthanda. —USt. UFaustina, Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1033

Okokugcina, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, khumbulani okushiwo nguJohn Paul II, ukuthi izilingo iSonto elibhekene nazo manje zilele “ezinhlelweni zikaNkulunkulu.” Lokho wukuthi, ubusuku bokholo abuyona ukuphela; kufika ukusa koVuko…

 

ISIFINYEZO NOMBHALO

ISonto lilandela uJesu ngothando lwethu, ukufa nokuvuka kwethu. Ukhiye wokuhlala ugxilile kulezi zikhathi wukuphila kusuka ngaphakathi komkhuleko nokwethembeka uye eZwini likaNkulunkulu.

Ngoba uthando lukaNkulunkulu yilokhu, ukuthi sigcine imiyalo yakhe. Futhi imiyalo yakhe ayiwona umthwalo, ngoba noma ngubani ozelwe nguNkulunkulu uyawunqoba umhlaba. Futhi ukunqoba okunqoba umhlaba ukukholwa kwethu. Ngubani ngempela onqobayo emhlabeni ngaphandle kwalowo okholwa ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu? (1 Johane 5: 3-5)

UNkulunkulu anibusise, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo. Sizohlala ndawonye ekuhlanganyeleni komkhuleko…
