Intaba Engokwesiprofetho

WE zimi ezansi kwezintaba zaseCanada Rocky Mount kusihlwa, njengoba mina nendodakazi yami silungiselela ukuzibamba ngaphambi kohambo losuku oluya e-Pacific Ocean kusasa.

Ngisebangeni elingamakhilomitha ambalwa ukusuka entabeni lapho, eminyakeni eyisikhombisa eyedlule, iNkosi yakhuluma amazwi anamandla esiprofetho kuFr. Mina noKyle Dave Ungumpristi waseLouisiana owabaleka iSiphepho uKatrina lapho sihlasela izifundazwe eziseningizimu, kuhlanganise nesifunda sakhe. UFr. UKyle weza wazohlala nami ngemuva kwalokho, njengoba i-tsunami yangempela yamanzi (a 35 foot foot surge!) Yadabula isonto lakhe, engashiyi lutho ngaphandle kwezithombe ezimbalwa ngemuva.

Ngenkathi silapha, sathandaza, safunda imiBhalo, sagubha iMisa, futhi sathandaza kakhulu lapho iNkosi yenza iZwi liphile. Kwakungathi kuvulwe iwindi, futhi savunyelwa ukubheka enkungwini yesikhathi esizayo isikhashana. Konke okwakhulunywa kusimo sembewu ngaleso sikhathi (niyabo Izilwane futhi Amacilongo Esixwayiso) manje kwenzeka phambi kwamehlo ethu. Kusukela lapho, ngichazile ngalezo zinsuku ezingokwesiprofetho emibhalweni engaba ngu-700 lapha naku-a ibhuku, njengoba uMoya ungiholile kuloluhambo olungalindelekile…

UKUDINGWA OKUKHULU

Angisoze ngalukhohlwa usuku esenyuka ngalo kuleyo ntaba lapho saholwa ukuba sihlale khona izinsuku ezimbalwa. Kwakuwumgwaqo onomoya oya phezulu lapho indlu yokubuyela emuva ihlala embobeni enkulu ehlathini. Lapho imoto yethu ikhasa emgwaqeni owubhuqu, uFr. Mina noKyle sasithandaza kanye nengoma yami, Woza Moya Ongcwele (Yazi Inkosi Icwecwe). Ngokuphazima kweso, uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwami ​​ngokushesha okukhulu, ngamandla amakhulu, kangangokuba kwadingeka ngime emgwaqeni! Ngenkathi ngiguqa lapho ngikhala, ngabona enhliziyweni yami umfudlana wabadingisiwe bekhuphuka intaba bengenalutho ngaphandle kwezikhwama nezingubo emhlane. Ngemuva kwalokho, kulokho okwakubonakala kungumbono wangaphakathi, ngabona ifayili le- intaba ngomlilo—Umlilo ongokomoya, njengokungathi uyisibani. Ngokwemvelo, ngezwa ukuthi le ndawo ngelinye ilanga izoba yi- isiphephelo. Ngalobo busuku, othile wangithumelela i-imeyili isithombe (bheka ngenhla) seNhliziyo Engcwele kaJesu phezu kwezintaba.

Izinsuku lezo ziyeza. Nini futhi kuphi, angazi.

IMIPHAKATHI YEPARALLEL

Kwakungaleso sikhathi, ngemuva nje kokuthi iqembu lethu elincane lingene endlini yokubuyela emuva futhi sazingcwelisela iNhliziyo Engcwele, lapho ngathola khona "izwi" ngaphambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe. Ikhulume ngesikhathi lapho amaKrestu ehlangana khona emiphakathini… ngasikhathi sinye, abanye abangaphandle kwenkolo bebezohlangana futhi “imiphakathi efanayo"(Bheka Iziphephelo Ezizayo Neziphephelo). Kungaphakathi kwale miphakathi yamaKrestu lapho izimangaliso eziningi, ukuphulukiswa, kanye nomusa kuzogeleza njengoba amandla kaMoya oNgcwele ekhishwa ngendlela ejulile. Amandla obumnyama ngeke athole ndawo kulezi zindawo zokukhanya.

Ubhala uSt. Ignatius wase-Antiyokiya…

Zama ukuhlangana ndawonye kaningi ukubonga uNkulunkulu nokumdumisa. Ngoba lapho nihlangana njalo, amandla kaSathane ayacekelwa phansi, futhi ukubhujiswa akusongelayo kuqedwa ngobunye bokholo lwenu. Akukho okungcono kunokuthula, lapho yonke impi phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba iqedwa. - incwadi eya kwabase-Efesu ngu-Saint Ignatius wase-Antiyokiya, umbhishobhi nomfel 'ukholo, Imfundo yamahora, Umqulu I

Lawo ngamagama okufanele ucatshangelwe izinsuku ezizayo…

UKATRINA… IMICROCOSM

Ngemuva nangemuva kokubhujiswa kweSiphepho uKatrina, umhlaba wabuka ngenkathi iNew Orleans yehlela edolobheni lesiyaluyalu. Izitolo ezinkulu zathululwa. Izithabathaba zemizi zishiywe zingenamuntu. Abaphangi bagqekeze izitolo. Izigebengu zazizulazula emigwaqweni. Abahlengikazi balahla iziguli esibhedlela. Ukudla, amanzi nendawo yokukhosela beyindlala… bekungaphezu kokubuka, kwazise ngangikhona emasontweni amabili kuphela ngaphambi kwesiphepho.

UFr. UKyle wayevame ukuthi iSiphepho uKatrina sasingu- i-microcosm kwalokho okuzokwenzeka emhlabeni uma siqhubeka nendlela esihamba kuyo. Iyini leyo ndlela? I-hedonism engalawulwa, ukukhipha isisu, ukuzama ucansi, ukushada okuhlukile, ukuhaha ezimakethe, inkohlakalo kwezepolitiki…. ngamanye amazwi, izihloko zezindaba zansuku zonke. Empeleni, ubengasho lutho olwehlukile kunoNkosikazi Wethu waseKibeho, ovele kwezinye izingane eRwanda ezizobaxwayisa ngokuqothulwa kohlanga okuzokwenzeka uma lelo zwe lingaphenduki ezindleleni zalo. Okwenzeka eRwanda kwaba isixwayiso emhlabeni esidinga ukubuyela eNkosini, ngokwemilayezo enikezwe izingane lapho, nakwezinye izibuko emhlabeni wonke:

… Thanda uNkulunkulu, thandanani futhi nibe nomusa komunye nomunye, funda iBhayibheli, ulandele imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, wamukele uthando lukaKristu, uphendukele izono, uthobeke, ufune futhi unikeze ukuthethelelwa, futhi uphile isipho sempilo yakho ngendlela uNkulunkulu afuna ngayo —Nenhliziyo ehlanzekile nevulekile nonembeza omsulwa. -UMama wethu waseKibeho, Immaculée Ilibagiza noSteve Erwin, k. 62

Esikhundleni salokho, indlela yesintu yamanje yileyo eholele uPapa Benedict, emyalezweni wakhe woNyaka Omusha, ukuba axwayise “ngezithunzi ezisemaphethelweni omhlaba wanamuhla.” ^[1]qhathanisa www.cbc.ca, Jan. 1, 2012 Ubalule lezo zithunzi, ngokwengxenye, enkulumweni yakhe ayibhekise Kumanxusa aseVatican ngesonto eledlule:

Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi izinyathelo zomthetho ezingavumeli nje kuphela kepha kwesinye isikhathi zikhuthaza nokuhushula isisu ngenxa yezizathu ezilula noma ngezisusa ezingabazekayo zezokwelapha zibeka engozini imfundo yabantu abasha futhi, ngenxa yalokho, nekusasa lesintu… umndeni, ngokususelwa emshadweni owesilisa nowesifazane akuyona nje ingqungquthela yomphakathi elula, kepha kunalokho yiseli eliyisisekelo lawo wonke umphakathi. Ngenxa yalokho, izinqubomgomo ezilulaza umndeni zisongela isithunzi somuntu nekusasa lesintu uqobo. Isikhathi samanje simakwe ngokudabukisa okukhulu kanti nezinkinga ezahlukahlukene - ezomnotho, ezepolitiki nezenhlalo - ziyizimpawu ezinhle zalokhu… Impela umhlaba umnyama lapho abesilisa nabesifazane bengasabazi ubudlelwano babo noMdali futhi ngaleyo ndlela bebeka ubudlelwano babo engcupheni kwezinye izidalwa nasendalweni uqobo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, inkulumo yonyaka eya kumanxusa aseVatican, ngoJanuwari 9, 2012, LifeSiteNews.com

Lawo mazwi ayemane nje enanela inkulumo uPapa ayinika iCuria yaseRoma ngonyaka owedlule, lapho eqhathanisa isimo samanje somhlaba nokuwa koMbuso WaseRoma (bheka Ngosuku luka-Eva).

UKULUNGISELELA

Umqondo ogqamile wokuthi bobabili uFr. Mina noKyle sahamba nentaba eminyakeni eyisikhombisa eyedlule sasiyisidingo Lungiselela. Ayekhona amanye amazwi iNkosi eyasinika wona, amanye okungenzeka ukuthi ukugcwaliseka kwawo akukude. Ngenkathi sibuzwa ubunzima bezikhathi, saphinde sazizwa silangazelela okukhulu ngalokho iZulu elilungiselela ukukwenza. Ngakho-ke, igama elithi “Lungiselela” alisho kuphela “ukuzilungiselela” ubunzima — isiphetho esingenakugwemeka sezwe elizimisele ngokwamukela ukufa njengomusa. Kepha kusho, mhlawumbe ngaphezu kwakho konke, uku zilungiselele ukwamukela amandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Ngempela, lesi sikhathi semibono ka-Lady Wethu emhlabeni yiyona ngempela ukwakhiwa "kwegumbi eliphezulu": ukulungiswa kweSonto ukuze "ligqokiswe amandla avela phezulu." ^[2]isib. ULuka 24:49

Ngifuna ukubhala kabanzi ngalokhu. Kepha okwamanje, ngizokushiya namazwi kaSt. Ignatius ovela eHhovisi Lanamuhla lokufunda… igama elisibuyisela othandweni lwethu lokuqala, kuNkulunkulu uqobo.

Ngoba iNkosi yamukela ukugcotshwa ekhanda layo ukuze iphefumulele ukungonakali eSontweni. Ungagcotshwa ngephunga elibi lezimfundiso zenkosi yaleli zwe, ungamvumeli akuholele ekuthunjweni ususwe empilweni ebekwe phambi kwakho. Kepha kungani kungenjalo ukuthi asihlakaniphile sonke lapho sithole ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu, onguJesu Kristu? Kungani sibhubha ebuphukuphuku bethu, singazi isipho uJehova asithumele sona ngokweqiniso? Umoya wami unikelwa enkonzweni ethobekile yesiphambano okuyisikhubekiso kwabangakholwayo kodwa kithina insindiso nokuphila okuphakade. - incwadi eya kwabase-Efesu ngu-Saint Ignatius wase-Antiyokiya, umbhishobhi nomfel 'ukholo, Imfundo yamahora, Umq
