Izinsalela noMlayezo

Izwi Elimemeza Ugwadule

 

ST. UPAWULU wafundisa ukuthi 'sizungezwe ifu lofakazi.' ^[1]I-Heb 12: 1 Njengoba lo nyaka omusha uqala, ngifisa ukuhlanganyela nabafundi “ifu elincane” elizungeze lobu buhlubuki ngezinsalela zabaNgcwele engibamukele kule minyaka edlule — nokuthi bakhuluma kanjani nomsebenzi kanye nombono oqondisa le nkonzo…

 

LUNGISELELA INDLELA

I ngangithandaza phambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe esontweni lami lomqondisi womoya lapho amazwi, abonakala engaphandle kwami, evuka enhliziyweni yami:

Ngikunika inkonzo kaJohane uMbhapathizi. 

Ngenkathi ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthini, ngacabanga ngamazwi kaMbhaptizi uqobo, amagama akwiVangeli lanamuhla:

Ngiyizwi lomemeza ehlane, 'Lungisani indlela yeNkosi'…

Ngakusasa ekuseni, kwangqongqoza emnyango wamakhosi, bese unobhala wangibiza. Indoda endala yayimi lapho, isandla sayo seluliwe ngemuva kokubingelela kwethu. 

"Lokhu kwenzelwe wena," esho. “Kuyinsalela yesigaba sokuqala UJohane uMbhapathizi. "

Incazelo yokugcina yalokhu izovela eminyakeni ezayo njengoba ukunxuswa kukaSt. John Paul II kithina sentsha ngo-2002 kungaba yingqikithi yalokhu kuhlubuka:

Basha abathandekayo, kukithi ukuba abe abalindi wasekuseni omemezela ukuza kwelanga ngubani onguKristu Ovukile! —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo kaBaba Ongcwele kuNtsha Yomhlaba, I-XVII Usuku lwentsha lwezwe, n. 3; (cf.Is. 21: 11-12)

Lesi simemo, kamuva wasibona, sasizobonakala ngesidingo sokwethembeka kuBaba oNgcwele kanye neBandla likaKristu, kanye nokufel 'ukholo ngokuya phambili ngendlela yesiprofetho ukumemezela Ukusa okuzayo. 

Intsha izibonakalisile iRoma futhi okweBandla isipho esikhethekile sikaMoya kaNkulunkulu… angizange nginqikaze ukubacela ukuthi benze ukukhetha okuqinile kokholo nempilo futhi ngibanikeze umsebenzi omkhulu: ukuba babe “abalindi basekuseni” ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane entsha yeminyaka. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, UNovo Millenio Inuente, n. 9

Mhlawumbe-ke akusikho nje ukuqondana kwezinto lapho-ke ukuthi kwakukhona ithempeli lesibili elalivalelwe noJohn the Baptist, lelo lomfel 'ukholo wasePoland uSt Hyacinth. Wayaziwa ngokuthi "Umphostoli waseNyakatho". Ngihlala eCanada… futhi umkhulu wami ungowasePoland. 

 

UKUVANGELWA OKUSHA 

Ngangikhungathekile njengoba ngangiphethe ucezu lwethambo esandleni sikaJohane uMbhapathizi — ithambo elifanayo “elaligxuma” esibelethweni sika-Elizabeth ngenxa yokubingelelwa uMariya. Ithambo elifanayo elelulelwe ukubhabhadisa uJesu, uMsindisi wethu neNkosi yethu. Ithambo elifanayo elama liqine okholweni njengoMbhabhadisi lanqunywa ikhanda ngokuyalelwa kukaHerode.

Yabe isithi leyondoda esikhulile yafaka enye into yokuqala ekilasini lesandla sami engangishukumisa kangako: uSt. Paul the Umphostoli. Umthombo ongikhuthaza njalo, amazwi kaPaul azisa futhi alolonge i-warp and woof of my ministry, okuyingxenye "yevangeli elisha" evame ukubizwa ngegama lakhe, iSt. John Paul II. 

UJohn Paul II usicelile ukuthi siqonde ukuthi "akumele kunciphe umfutho wokushumayela iVangeli" kulabo abakude noKristu, "ngoba lona ngumsebenzi wokuqala weSonto". Ngempela, "namuhla umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli usamelele inselelo enkulu kunazo zonke eSontweni" futhi "umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli kufanele uhlale phambili". —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, n. 15; v Vatican.va

Ngaphansi kwesiqeshana sikaSt. Paul kunomfel 'ukholo ongaziwa kangako, uSt. Vincent Yen, owayephila ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19. NjengoPaul noMbhaptizi, naye wanqunywa ikhanda ngenxa yeVangeli. Umuntu angawakhumbuli kanjani amazwi eNkosi yethu:

Noma ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe uyolahlekelwa yiyo, kepha noma ngubani olahlekelwa ngumphefumulo wakhe ngenxa yami nangenxa yevangeli uyowusindisa. (Marku 8:35)

 

UMUSA WAPHEZULU

Uma “ukushunyayelwa kwevangeli okusha” kungukulungiselela umhlaba "ukufika kwelanga onguKrestu Ovukile", ngakho-ke isihe sikaNkulunkulu inhliziyo komlayezo kulelihora. 

Kusukela ekuqaleni kwenkonzo yami eSt Peter's See eRoma, ngithatha lo mlayezo [we-Divine Mercy] njengomsebenzi wami okhethekile. U-Providence unginikeze kulesi simo esikhona manje somuntu, iSonto kanye nomhlaba.  —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Novemba 22, 1981 eShrine of Merciful Love eCollevalenza, e-Italy

Umongo wanikezwa uSt. Faustina lowo uMama Wethu athi kuye:

… Kepha wena, kufanele ukhulume nezwe ngomusa wakhe omkhulu futhi ulungiselele umhlaba ukuBuya kwesiBili kwaLowo ozayo, hhayi njengoMsindisi onesihe, kepha njengoMahluleli olungile. -Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 635

Insalela yesithathu engayithola kule ndoda ngalolo suku kwakungeyeSt. Faustina. Ngemuva konyaka noma emibili kamuva, umqondisi wami ongokomoya wayengathi kimi, “Kufanele ushumayele neCatechism ngakwesinye isandla, kanti idayari kaFaustina kwesinye isandla!”

Lokhu kwagcizelelwa lapho ngicelwa ukuba ngiyokhuluma emphakathini wase-Upper Michigan. Ohlezi ngakwesokunene sami kwakungumfundisi osekhulile. Kabili ngesikhathi sokubuyela emuva ngalolo suku, wangicela ukuba ngimvakashele endaweni yakhe ephezulu eweni. Igama lakhe kwakunguFr. UGeorge Kosicki, omunye “wobaba Besihawu Saphezulu” owasiza ukuhumusha nombhalo waphansi iDiary of Faustina. Umuntu ovela emphakathini wangiyisa endaweni yakhe lapho uFr. UKosicki wanginika konke izincwadi ayezibhalile wathi, “Kusukela manje, ngizokubiza ngokuthi 'ndodana'.” Wangibusisa, sahlukana.

Lapho ngifika ezansi kwentaba, ngaphendukela kumshayeli wami ngathi “Awume kancane. Ngibuyisele lapho. ” UFr. UGeorge waphinde wasibingelela emphemeni.

“UFr. George, ngidinga ukukubuza umbuzo. ” 

“Yebo ndodana yami.”

"Ngabe ungidlulisela "ithoshi" lesihe saphezulu? " 

"Yebo kunjalo! Angazi ukuthi ibukeka kanjani, kodwa vele uhambe nayo. ” 

Ngalokho, wathatha ingcweti yeklasi lokuqala likaSt Faustina ezandleni zakhe wangibusisa okwesibili. Ngehla intaba ngithule, ngicabanga lezi zinto enhliziyweni yami.

 

AMAFUYO NOBUMNYAMA

Kungekudala kuzobonakala kulesi sihlubuki ukuthi ukumemezela i-Dawn ezayo kwakusho nokulungiselela imiphefumulo ubumnyama obuzobandulela. Lokho ukumemezela “isikhathi esisha sentwasahlobo” kwakusho ukulungiselela ubusika ngaphambi kwaso. Futhi lokho ukushumayela isihe Saphezulu futhi kwakusho ukuxwayisa ngokuthi kwakungeke kuthathwe kalula. 

Ngenza isikhathi somusa ngenxa [yezoni]. Kepha maye kubo uma bengasiboni lesi sikhathi sokuhanjelwa Kwami… Ngaphambi koSuku Lobulungiswa, ngithumela uSuku Lomusa… bhala, utshele imiphefumulo ngalomusa Wami omkhulu, ngoba usuku olwesabekayo, usuku lobulungiswa bami, luseduze. -UJesu kuSt Faustina, Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1160, 1588, 965

Ukuba "umlindi" kaKristu kusho ukuma odongeni lwangempela. Akukona ukwenza ushukela izikhathi eziyingozi esiphila kuzo, futhi akusho ukuthi kufiphaza ithemba elilele ukudlula.

Ngeke sikufihle iqiniso lokuthi amafu amaningi asongelayo aseqoqene emkhathizwe. Akumele, nokho, siphele amandla, kunalokho kufanele sigcine ilangabi lethemba liphila ezinhliziyweni zethu. Kithina njengamaKristu ithemba leqiniso nguKristu, isipho sikaYise esintwini… NguKristu kuphela ongasisiza sakhe umhlaba lapho ubusa nothando kubusa khona. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, I-Catholic News Agency, Januwari 15, 2009

Ngakho-ke, iSonto nomhlaba babhekeneIsivunguvungu Esikhulu. ” “Kungukulwa kokugcina” kwale nkathi, kusho uJohn Paul II, umbango phakathi “kweSonto nabamelana nesonto, phakathi kweVangeli nokuphikisana nevangeli, phakathi kukaKristu nomphikukristu.”^[2]UKhadinali uKarol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), e-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA ngomgubho weminyaka emibili wokusayinwa kweSimemezelo Sokuzimela; UDeacon Keith Fournier, obekhona, ubika amazwi akhe njengenhla; isib. I-Catholic Online; Agasti 13, 1976

Ngenkathi ngishumayela eToronto, eCanada eminyakeni eminingana edlule, kwaqhamuka indoda eyaqoqa futhi yalondoloza amakhulu ezinsalela. "Ngithandazile ukuthi ngikunikeze yiphi insalela, futhi ngizwe ukuthi kufanele kube yiyo le." Ngavula icala elincanyana, futhi ngaphakathi kunengcezu yethambo likaPapa St. Pius X. Ngavele ngakwazi ukubaluleka kwalo.

UPius X ungomunye wopapa abambalwa ngekhulu lokugcina ukuhumusha ngokusobala “izibonakaliso zezikhathi” njengokufaka phakathi ukubonakala kukaMphikukristu ayenomuzwa wokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi usevele esemhlabeni (bheka Umphik'ukristu Ngezikhathi Zethu). Lesi yisihloko esihlala siyimfihlakalo enkulu, kepha okubonakala sengathi kuzoqala ukugxilwa kuso. Ngoba lapho ubheka wonke amazwi opapa, i-Our Lady, kanye nezimfihlakalo zekhulu leminyaka elidlule, futhi uzibeka ezimfundisweni zoFata beSonto kanye "nezibonakaliso zezikhathi," kuvela isithombe se-Great Storm lokho kuhlanganisa nethuba lokuthi uMphik'ukristu uzovela ngaphambi kokuthi sibone "umhlaba lapho ubusa nothando kubusa khona" (bheka Ingabe UJesu Uyeza Ngempela?). Ngamafuphi, sisondela kufayela le- Usuku lweNkosi. 

Lowo ophika uYise neNdodana, lowo ungumphikuKristu. (Kufundwa kokuqala namuhla)

 

UKULUNGISELELA INDLELA YENKOSI

Ulwazi lwezikhathi zethu, noma ulwazi lwesihe nothando lweNkosi yethu akwanele. Sidinga uku Kholwa futhi ukuthola la mazwi, ebafaka ngaphakathi ekukholweni. Kusho ukuthi, ngokucophelela okukhulu nangokushesha okukhulu, kumele sakhe izimpilo zethu edwaleni eliqinile leZwi likaNkulunkulu, njengoba nje izwe liqhubeka nokubeka imibono yalo esihlabathini esigudlukayo se-relativism, esizobhubha nakanjani.  

Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lukhanya. Umvuthwandaba ufikile kini enihlala ezweni! Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku luseduze: isikhathi sokwethuka, hhayi esokuthokoza… Bheka, usuku lweNkosi! Bhekani, ukuphela kuyeza! Ukungabi namthetho kuqhakaze ngokugcwele, inhlamba iyaqhuma, udlame seluvukile ukuxhasa ububi. Akusensuku zatshwala ufike, futhi awuyikulibala. Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lukhanya. (Hezekeli 7: 6-7, 10-12)

Ngakho-ke, insalela yami yeSt. John of the Cross inokubaluleka okukhulu, ngoba nguyena owachaza kahle kakhulu ngokubaluleka kwe impilo yangaphakathi: impilo yokukhuleka nokuzilahla okubandakanya ukuhlanzwa kwezinzwa nomphefumulo ukulungiselela ubunye noMdali. 

Futhi-ke, ngizama ukugcizelela njalo kubalaleli bami isidingo sempilo yomthandazo engaguquguquki futhi ejulile. Ngo-2016, ngiphothule i- ukuhlehla kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane eyabafundi bami esekwe ngokwengxenye esifingqweni esilula semibhalo kaSt. Ngempela, noma yikuphi lapho uMama wethu avela khona emhlabeni namuhla, ubiza izingane zakhe ukuba zibuyele eNdodaneni yakhe ngempilo yomkhuleko. ICatechism ithi, "ngumkhuleko" onakekela umusa esiwudingayo. " ^[3]CCC, hhayi. 2010

 

BANGCWELE NATHI

Sengivala, ngikhumbula usuku engangihleli ngalo ngaphesheya kwetafula likaMonsignor John Essef eParay-le-Monial, eFrance. Yilapho lapho uJesu abonakala khona eSt. Margaret Mary, embula Inhliziyo Yakhe Engcwele emhlabeni… i Isandulela somlayezo Wesihe Saphezulu.

Msgr. U-Essef wayengumqondisi wezenkolo kaMama Teresa; wayeqondiswa nguSt Pio; futhi ngiqondisa umqondisi wami ongokomoya. Kwangijabulisa kakhulu ukufunda lokhu ngoba ngangizwe ubukhona bukaSt Pio ngamandla ekuqaleni kwale nkonzo yokubhala eminyakeni engaba yishumi nambili kuya kwayishumi nantathu edlule. Kamuva, othile wayezophinde abeke into ethile ku- isandla, ngalesi sikhathi sePio kaPietrelcina. 

Ngakho-ke, ngalolo suku eFrance, ngahlanganyela noMsgr. U-Essef ukusondelana engangikuzwa noSt Pio, owashona ngonyaka engazalwa ngawo. Msgr. akashongo lutho njengoba engigqolozele emehlweni ami isikhathi esasibonakala isikhathi eside kakhulu. Wabe esencika phambili, waphakamisa umunwe wakhe, nangesibindi uSt Pio ayedume ngaso, wababaza: “Uzoba ngumqondisi wakho wokuqala kwezikamoya, kanti uFr. Paul owesibili! ” 

Ngiphetha ngale ndaba ngoba, ngandlela thile, iSt Pio mhlawumbe inithinta nonke enifunda lokhu. Cha, akunjalo. Yena futhi bonke abangcwele banathi kakhulu ngoba sonke singumzimba kaKristu. Yebo, basondele kithi manje ngaleso sikhathi babesempilweni ngoba, ngoMzimba KaKristu Ongumgogodla, inyunyana yethu ingokoqobo kakhulu, iphakeme kakhulu.

Futhi ngakho-ke yenza iphuzu lokuncenga ukukhulekelwa kwabaNgcwele kulo nyaka, ikakhulukazi uMama Wethu Obusisiwe. Kule mpi yokugcina, sinempi emuva kwethu, elungele, ezimisele, futhi elinde ukusisiza ngemikhuleko yabo nangezihawu ezikhethekile abasizuze ngeSiphambano sikaKristu, ngenxa yethu.  

Iminyaka ezayo izosilethela ini? Liyoba njani ikusasa lomuntu emhlabeni? Asinikwanga ukwazi. Kodwa-ke, kuqinisekile ukuthi ngaphezu kwenqubekela phambili entsha ngeshwa ngeke kube khona ukungabi nakho kokuhlangenwe nakho okubuhlungu. Kodwa ukukhanya koMusa Waphezulu, iNkosi ngandlela thile eyayifisa ukubuyela emhlabeni ngomusa ka-Sr Faustina, kuzokhanyisa indlela yabesilisa nabesifazane benkulungwane yesithathu yeminyaka. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Homily, Ephreli 30, 2000
