Indlela Yokuphila

WE baphila ehoreni lapho cishe lonke isiko lamaKhatholika leminyaka eyizi-2000 linqatshwa, hhayi nje izwe kuphela (okulindeleke ngandlela-thile), kodwa nangamaKhatholika ngokwawo: ababhishobhi, okhadinali, namakholwa asontayo akholelwa ukuthi iBandla kudingeka “ olusha”; noma ukuthi sidinga “isinodi yesinodi” ukuze sithole kabusha iqiniso; noma ukuthi sidinga ukuvumelana nemibono yezwe ukuze “sihambisane” nazo.

Ingqikithi yalokhu kuhlubuka ebuKatolikeni wukwenqatshwa kweNtando yobuNkulunkulu: ukuhleleka kukaNkulunkulu okubekwe emthethweni wemvelo nowokuziphatha. Namuhla, ukuziphatha kobuKristu akugcini nje ngokungagwegwesi futhi kuhlekwe njengokuhlehliswa kodwa kubhekwa njengokungalungile futhi imbala Ubugebengu. Okubizwa ngokuthi “wokism” sekuyinto eyiqiniso…

...ubushiqela be-relativism okungaqapheli lutho njengokuqinisekile, futhi okushiya njengesilinganiso sokugcina kuphela ubugovu nezifiso zomuntu. Ukuba nokholo olucacile, ngokwenkolelo yeSonto, kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi ubufandamentali. Nokho, i-relativism, okungukuthi, ukuzivumela ukuba ujikijelwe futhi 'ukhukhulwe yiyo yonke imimoya yezifundiso', kubonakala kuyisona simo sengqondo esamukelekayo ezindinganisweni zanamuhla. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (uPapa BENEDICT XVI) ngaphambi komhlangano u-Homily, ngo-Ephreli 18, 2005

UKhadinali Robert Sarah uye wasungula ngokufanelekile lokhu “kuvukela” ebuKristwini ngaphakathi njengokukhashelwa kukaKristu ngabaphostoli Bakhe uqobo.

Namuhla iSonto lihlala noKristu ngenxa yolaka lukaPassion. Izono zamalungu akhe zibuyele kuye njengokushaywa ebusweni ... AbaPhostoli uqobo bajika umsila eNsimini Yeminqumo. Bamshiya uKristu ehoreni lakhe elinzima kakhulu… Yebo, kukhona abapristi abangathembekile, ababhishobhi, ngisho nokhadinali abahluleka ukugcina ubumsulwa. Kepha futhi, futhi nalokhu kubi kakhulu, bayehluleka ukubambelela eqinisweni lemfundiso! Baphazamisa amakholwa athembekile ngolimi lwabo oluyindida noluyindida. Bayaliphambanisa futhi balenze amanga iZwi likaNkulunkulu, bazimisele ukulisonta nokuligoba ukuze bathole ukwamukelwa yizwe. BangabaJuda Iskariyothe besikhathi sethu. -I-Catholic Herald, Ephreli 5th, 2019; isib. Izwi Lase-Afrika Manje

Isithiyo… noma iBulwark?

Ngaphansi kwalokhu kuguquguquka kwezamasiko kunamanga akudala okuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu likhona ukuze lisilinganisele futhi lisenze izigqila - ukuthi izimfundiso zeBandla zinjengocingo oluvimbela isintu ukuhlola izindawo ezingaphandle "zenjabulo yeqiniso."

UNkulunkulu wathi, ‘Ningayidli noma niyithinte, funa nife.’” Kodwa inyoka yathi kowesifazane: “Ngokuqinisekile ngeke nife! ( Genesise 3:3-4 )

Kodwa ubani ongasho ukuthi imigoqo ezungezile, ethi, iGrand Canyon, ihloselwe ukugqilaza nokufaka inkululeko yomuntu? Noma bakhona ngokunembile ukuze ziqondise futhi ulondoloze ikhono lomuntu lokubuka ubuhle? Isivikelo kunesithiyo?

Ngisho nangemva kokuwa kuka-Adamu no-Eva, ubuhle bentando kaNkulunkulu babonakala kakhulu, imithetho yayingadingeki ngisho nasekuqaleni:

…ngezikhathi zokuqala zomlando wezwe kuze kufike kuNowa, izizukulwane zazingayidingi imithetho, futhi kwakungekho kukhonza izithombe, noma izinhlobonhlobo zezilimi; kunalokho, bonke babona uNkulunkulu wabo oyedwa futhi benolimi olulodwa, ngoba babekhathalela kakhulu Intando yami. Kodwa njengoba babelokhu beqhela kuLo, kwavela ukukhonza izithombe nobubi baba bubi nakakhulu. Yingakho uNkulunkulu abona isidingo sokunikeza imithetho Yakhe njengabalondolozi bezizukulwane zabantu. —UJesu ENcekwini KaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta, September 17, 1926 (Umqulu 20)

Ngakho nangaleso sikhathi, umthetho awuzange unikezwe ukuvimbela inkululeko yomuntu kodwa ukuze uyilondoloze. Njengoba uJesu asho, “wonke umuntu owenza isono uyisigqila sesono.”^[1]John 8: 34 Ngakolunye uhlangothi, wathi “iqiniso liyonikhulula.”^[2]John 8: 32 Ngisho neNkosi uDavide yakubona lokhu:

Ngihole endleleni yemiyalo yakho, ngokuba lokho kuyinjabulo yami. ( IHubo 119:35 )

Bayajabula labo unembeza wabo ongasoli… (Sirach 14:2)

Indlela Yokuphila

Ezimfundisweni zakhe ezinhle “ngobukhazikhazi beqiniso”, uSt. John Paul II uqala ngokubeka inkundla yempi yengqondo nemiphefumulo yethu:

Lokhu kulalela akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngenxa yaleso sono sokuqala esiyimfihlakalo, esenziwa ngokugqugquzelwa uSathane, “ongumqambimanga noyise wamanga” (Joh 8:44), umuntu uhlale elingeka ukuba asuse amehlo akhe kuNkulunkulu ophilayo noweqiniso ukuze aqondise ezithombeni. (Funda eyoku-1 Thes. 1:9), beshintsha “iqiniso ngoNkulunkulu amanga” ( Roma 1:25 ). Amandla omuntu okwazi iqiniso nawo afiphazwa, futhi intando yakhe yokuzithoba kulo iba buthaka. Ngakho-ke, ukuzinikela ku-relativism kanye nokungabaza (c. Jn 18: 38), uyahamba ayofuna inkululeko eyinkohliso ngaphandle kweqiniso ngokwalo. -I-Veritatis Splendor,n. 1

Nokho, uyasikhumbuza ukuthi “abukho ubumnyama besiphambeko noma besono obungasusa ngokuphelele kumuntu ukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu uMdali. Ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yakhe kuhlala kuhlale kulangazelela iqiniso eliphelele nokomela ukuthola ulwazi olugcwele ngalo.” Kulapho kulele khona umnyombo wethemba lokuthi kungani thina, esibizelwe enkundleni yempi yezithunywa zevangeli ezikhathini zethu, kungafanele nanini sidangale ekufakazeni kwabanye isigijimi sensindiso. I-innate idonsela ku- iqiniso kugcwele kakhulu enhliziyweni yomuntu “ngokufuna kwakhe injongo yokuphila"^[3]I-Veritatis Splendor,n. 1 ukuthi umsebenzi wethu wokuba “ukukhanya kwezwe”^[4]I-Matt 5: 14 kuphela ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu, lapho kuba mnyama.

Kodwa uJohn Paul II usho okuthile okuguquguquka kakhulu kune-wokism:

UJesu ubonisa ukuthi imiyalo akufanele iqondwe njengesilinganiso esincane esingadluli, kodwa njenge-a indlela okubandakanya uhambo lokuziphatha kanye nokomoya oluya ekupheleleni, okuphakathi kwayo othandweni (Qhathanisa noKol 3:14.). Ngakho-ke umyalo othi “Ungabulali” uba ubizo othandweni olunakekile oluvikela futhi luthuthukise impilo yomakhelwane womuntu. Umthetho owenqabela ukuphinga uba isimemo sendlela ehlanzekile yokubuka abanye, ekwazi ukuhlonipha incazelo yomlingani womshado... -I-Veritatis Splendor,n. 14

Kunokuba sibheke imiyalo kaKristu (ethuthukiswe ezimfundisweni zokuziphatha zeBandla) njengothango esihlale silwa nalo, njengemingcele okufanele ivivinywe noma imingcele okufanele iphushwe, iZwi likaNkulunkulu kufanele libonakale njengendlela esihamba ngayo ukuya khona. inkululeko nenjabulo yangempela. Njengoba umngane wami nombhali uCarmen Marcoux ake asho, “Ubumsulwa akuwona umugqa esiwela kuwo, kuyindlela esihamba ngayo. "

Kanjalo, nanganoma isiphi isibopho sokuziphatha noma “umthetho” wobuKristu. Uma sihlala sibuza umbuzo othi "Kungakanani kakhulu," sibhekene nocingo, hhayi indlela. Umbuzo kufanele ube, “Ngingagijima ngakuphi ngenjabulo!”

Uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi kubukeka kanjani ukwaneliseka nokuthula ngokulandela intando kaNkulunkulu, cabanga ngendalo yonke. Amaplanethi, iLanga neNyanga, izilwandle, izinyoni zezulu, izilwane zasendle nezamahlathi, izinhlanzi... kukhona ukuvumelana nokuhleleka lapho ngokulalela okulula ukukhanya nendawo uNkulunkulu azinike yona. Kodwa sadalwa, hhayi ngomzwelo wemvelo, kodwa inkululeko yokuzikhethela esinika ithuba elikhazimulayo lokukhetha ukuthanda nokwazi uNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela, sijabulele ukuhlanganyela okugcwele Naye.

Lona umlayezo umhlaba odinga kakhulu ukuwuzwa futhi bheka kithi: ukuthi imiyalo kaNkulunkulu iyindlela eya ekuphileni, eya enkululekweni - hhayi isithiyo kuyo.

Uzangitshengisa indlela yokuphila, intokozo enkulu ebusweni bakho, intokozo esandleni sakho sokunene kuze kube nininini. ( IHubo 16:11 )
