Ukuvuswa KweSonto

 

Umbono onegunya kunawo wonke, nalowo ovelayo
ukuvumelana kakhulu nomBhalo Ongcwele, ngukuthi,
emva kokuwa Umphik'ukristu, iSonto LamaKatolika
uphinde ungene esikhathini se-
ukuchuma nokunqoba.
-Ukuphela Kwezwe Lamanje kanye Nezimfihlakalo Zempilo Yesikhathi Esizayo,
UFr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), k. 56-57; ISophia Institute Press

 

LAPHO yindimana engaqondakali esencwadini kaDaniel eyenzeka kuyo yethu isikhathi. Iphinde iveze lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlelayo kulelihora njengoba umhlaba uqhubeka nokwehla kwawo ubumnyama…

 

UKUNGABONI

Ngemuva kokubona emibonweni ukuvuka "kwesilo" noma Umphik'ukristu, owayezofika ngasekupheleni komhlaba, umprofethi uyatshelwa:

Hamba, Daniyeli, ngoba amazwi avaliwe futhi avaliwe kuze kufike isikhathi sokuphela. Baningi abazozihlanza, bazenze mhlophe, bacwengisiswe… (Daniyeli 12: 9-10)

Umbhalo wesiLatini uthi lawa magama azovalwa isikhangiso esisheshayo se-tempus praefinitum—“Kuze kube yisikhathi esinqunyiwe.” Ukuba seduze kwalesosikhathi kuvezwe emshweni olandelayo: nini “Abaningi bazozihlanza, bazenze mhlophe.” Ngizobuya kulokhu esikhathini esifushane.

Eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule, uMoya Oyingcwele ubembulela iSonto ukuthi ukugcwala kwecebo lokuhlengwa ngo-Our Lady, izimfihlakalo eziningana, kanye nokutholwa kwencazelo eyiqiniso yezimfundiso zoFata beSonto Lokuqala eNcwadini Yesambulo. Ngempela, i-Apocalypse ingukunanela okuqondile kwemibono kaDaniel, ngakho-ke, "ukuvulwa uphawu" kokuqukethwe kwayo kusikisela ukuqonda okugcwele kakhudlwana kwencazelo yayo ngokuhambisana "neSambulo Somphakathi" seChurch-Sacred Tradition.

… Noma ngabe iSambulo [Somphakathi] sesivele siphelele, asizange senziwe sicace ngokuphelele; kusala okholweni lobuKristu kancane kancane ukukuqonda ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kwalo ngokuqhubeka kwamakhulu eminyaka." -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 66

Njenge-sidenote, kuzindlela zokuthola uFr. UStefano Gobbi onemibhalo yakhe emibili Ama-imprimaturs, UMama Wethu kuthiwa uyaqinisekisa ukuthi “Incwadi” yesAmbulo manje isivuliwe:

Okwami ​​kungumyalezo we-apocalyptic, ngoba usenhliziyweni yalokho okumenyezelwe kuwe encwadini yokugcina futhi ebaluleke kakhulu yemiBhalo Engcwele. Nginikeza izingelosi zokukhanya kwenhliziyo yami engaphelele umsebenzi wokukuletha ekuqondeni kwale micimbi, njengoba sengikuvulele iNcwadi evaliwe. -Kubaphristi, Amadodakazi Engendodakazi Yethu Abathandekayo, n. 520, mina, j.

Lokho “okungavulwa” ezikhathini zethu ukuqonda okujulile kwalokho iSt. John esikubiza ngokuthi “Uvuko lokuqala” weBandla.^[1]isib. IsAm 20: 1-6 Futhi yonke indalo iyilindile…

 

USUKU LWESIKHOMBISA

Umprofethi uHoseya uyabhala:

Uyakusivusa emva kwezinsuku ezimbili; ngosuku lwesithathu uyakusivusa, siphile phambi kwakhe. (Hoseya 6: 2)

Futhi, khumbula amazwi kaPapa Benedict XVI ayewabhekisa ezintathelini ngesikhathi ebalekela ePortugal ngo-2010, ukuthi akhona  “Isidingo sogqozi lweSonto.” Yena uxwayise ukuthi iningi lethu lilele kuleli hora, njengabaPhostoli baseGetsemane:

… 'Ubuthongo' bungobethu, bethu abangafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi abangafuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. ” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience

Okwe…

… [ISonto] lizolandela iNkosi yalo ekufeni kwayo nokuvuka kwabafileyo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 677

Njengoba kunjalo, iSonto lizolandela neNkosi yalo “izinsuku ezimbili” ethuneni, bese livuka “ngosuku lwesithathu.” Ake ngichaze lokhu ngezimfundiso zoFata beSonto Lokuqala…

 

USUKU LUFANA NEMINYAKA EYINKULUNGWANE

Babheka umlando wesintu ngokubheka indaba yendalo. UNkulunkulu wadala umhlaba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha kwathi ngolwesikhombisa waphumula. Kulokhu, babona iphethini efanelekile yokusebenzisa kubantu bakaNkulunkulu.

Futhi uNkulunkulu waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe… Ngakho-ke, kusasele ukuphumula kwesabatha kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. (Heb 4: 4, 9)

Babona umlando wesintu, kusukela ku-Adamu no-Eva kuze kube yisikhathi sikaKristu njengeminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezine, noma "izinsuku ezine" ngokususelwa emazwini kaSt.

Linganaki leli qiniso elilodwa, bathandekayo, lokuthi eNkosini usuku olulodwa lunjengeminyaka eyinkulungwane neminyaka eyinkulungwane injengosuku olulodwa. (2 Petru 3: 8)

Isikhathi esisuka ekukhuphukeni kukaKristu kuze kube semngceleni wenkulungwane yesithathu sasizoba “yizinsuku ezimbili.” Mayelana nalokhu, kunesiprofetho esimangazayo esenzeka khona lapho. AbaFata BeSonto bakubona kusengaphambili lokho le nkulungwane yeminyaka yamanje uzoletha “usuku lwesikhombisa”—“ukuphumula kwesabatha” kubantu bakaNkulunkulu (bheka Ukuphumula KweSabatha Okuzayo) lokho kwakuyoqondana nokufa kukaMphik’ ukristu (“isilo”) “novuko lokuqala” okukhulunywa ngalo eSt. I-Apocalypse:

Isilo sasibanjwa kanye laye umprofethi wamanga owayenze phambi kwaso izibonakaliso adukisa ngazo labo ababemukele uphawu lwesilo lalabo ababekhonza umfanekiso waso. Laba bobabili baphonswa besaphila echibini lomlilo elivutha isibabule… Ngabona nemiphefumulo yalabo ababenqunywe amakhanda ngenxa yobufakazi babo kuJesu nangezwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi ababengasikhonzi isilo noma umfanekiso waso futhi bengazange basamukele uphawu emabunzini abo noma ezandleni. Baphila futhi babusa noKristu iminyaka eyinkulungwane. Abanye abafileyo abaphilanga yaze yaphela iminyaka eyinkulungwane. Lokhu kungukuvuka kokuqala. Ubusisiwe, ungcwele lowo ohlanganyela ekuvukeni kokuqala. Ukufa kwesibili akunamandla phezu kwalokhu; bayakuba ngabapristi bakaNkulunkulu nabakaKristu, babuse kanye naye iminyaka eyinkulungwane. (Isambulo 19: 20-20: 6)

Njengoba ngichazile ku Ilahlekile kanjani i-Era, USt. Augustine uphakamise izincazelo ezine zalo mbhalo. Lowo "onamathele" eningini lezazi zemfundiso yenkolo kuze kube namuhla ukuthi "uvuko lokuqala" lubhekisa enkathini yangemva kokuKhuphuka kukaKrestu kuze kube sekupheleni komlando wesintu. Inkinga ukuthi lokhu akuhambelani nokufundwa kombhalo okusobala, futhi akuhambisani nalokho oFata beSonto Lokuqala abakufundisayo. Kodwa-ke, enye incazelo ka-Augustine "yeminyaka eyinkulungwane" ithi:

… Kube sengathi kuyinto enhle ukuthi abangcwele ngaleyo ndlela bajabulele uhlobo lokuphumula kweSabatha ngaleyo nkathi, ukuzilibazisa okungcwele ngemuva kokusebenza iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha selokhu umuntu wadalwa… (futhi) kufanele kulandele ukuqedwa kweminyaka eyisithupha iminyaka eyinkulungwane, njengasezinsukwini eziyisithupha, uhlobo lweSabatha lwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa eminyakeni eyinkulungwane elandelayo ... Futhi lo mbono wawungeke uphikiswe, uma bekukholelwa ukuthi injabulo yabangcwele, kulelo Sabatha, izoba ngeyokomoya, bese kulandela ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu… —St. U-Augustine waseHippo (354-430 AD; Udokotela weSonto), I-De Civival Dei, Bk. XX, uCh. 7, iCatholic University of America Press

Kubuye futhi ukulindela opapa abaningi:

Ngingathanda ukuvuselela kini isikhalazo engisenze kuyo yonke intsha… ngamukele ukuzibophezela abalindi basekuseni ekuntweleni kwenkulungwane entsha yeminyaka. Lokhu ukuzibophezela okuyisisekelo, okugcina ukuba semthethweni nokuphuthuma kwawo njengoba siqala leli khulu leminyaka ngeshwa elimnyama lamafu obudlova nokwesaba ukubuthana emkhathizwe. Namuhla, kunanini ngaphambili, sidinga abantu abaphila impilo engcwele, abalindi abamemezela emhlabeni ukuqala okusha kwethemba, ubuzalwane nokuthula. —UPAPA ST. UJOHN PAUL II, “Message of John Paul II to the Guannelli Youth Movement”, Ephreli 20, 2002; v Vatican.va

… Inkathi entsha lapho ithemba lisikhulula khona ekunciphiseni, ukunganaki, nokuzithathela okubulala imiphefumulo yethu futhi kufake ubudlelwano bethu engcupheni. Bangane abancane abathandekayo, iNkosi ikucela ukuba nibe ngabaprofethi balonyaka omusha… —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, i-Homily, uSuku lweNtsha lweMhlaba, eSydney, e-Australia, ngoJulayi 20, 2008

UJohn Paul II uxhumanise le “millennium entsha” “nokuza” kukaKristu: ^[2]qhathanisa Ingabe UJesu Uyeza Ngempela?  futhi Baba oNgcwele othandekayo… Uyeza!

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)

Lokho oFata BeSonto — kuze kube ngopapa bethu bakamuva — bekumemezela, akukhona ukuphela komhlaba, kodwa “inkathi” noma “inkathi yokuthula,” “ukuphumula” kweqiniso izizwe ezizolethelwa ngakho, uSathane waboshwa ngamaketanga. , futhi iVangeli ladlulela kuzo zonke izindawo ezisogwini (bheka Oopapa, kanye ne-Dawning Era). I-St. Louis de Montfort inika isendlalelo esiphelele samazwi esiprofetho seMagisterium:

Imiyalo yakho yaphezulu yephuliwe, iVangeli lakho liyaphonswa eceleni, isifufula sobubi sigcwala umhlaba wonke sithwala ngisho nezinceku zakho… Ngabe konke kuzophela ngokufana neSodoma neGomora? Awusoze waphula ukuthula kwakho? Uyakubekezelela konke lokhu kuze kube phakade? Akulona yini iqiniso ukuthi intando yakho kumele yenziwe emhlabeni njengoba yenziwa ezulwini? Akulona yini iqiniso ukuthi umbuso wakho kumele ufike? Awuzange unikeze eminye imiphefumulo, bathandekayo kuwe, umbono wokuvuselelwa kweSonto esizayo? —USt. ULouis de Montfort, Umkhuleko Wezithunywa Zevangeli,n. 5; www.ewtn.com

Kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuletha lelihora elijabulisayo futhi ukwenze kwaziwa yibo bonke… Lapho lifika, kuzokwenzeka ukuthi kube yihora elinamandla, elikhulu elilodwa elinemiphumela hhayi kuphela lokubuyiselwa koMbuso kaKristu, kodwa ukumiswa kwe ... komhlaba. Sithandaza kakhulu, futhi sicela abanye ngokufanayo ukuba bathandazele lokhu kuphakanyiswa komphakathi okufiswa kakhulu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi “Ekuthuleni KukaKristu eMbusweni wakhe”, Disemba 23, 1922

Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi leli “hora lokujabula” nalo lizoqondana ne- ukuphelela yaBantu bakaNkulunkulu. Umbhalo ucacile ukuthi ukungcweliswa koMzimba kaKristu kuyadingeka ukuze umenze afaneleke Umakoti ukubuya kukaKristu enkazimulweni: 

… Ukunethula nibe ngcwele, ningenasici, futhi ningenakusoleka phambi kwakhe… ukuze ethule kuye isonto ngobuhle, lingenabala noma mibimbi noma yini enjalo, ukuze abe ngcwele futhi angabi nasici. (Kol 1:22, Efe 5:27)

Lokhu kulungiselela yilokho uSt. John XXIII ayenakho enhliziyweni:

Umsebenzi kaPapa John othobekile “ukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abaphelele,” ofana ncamashi nomsebenzi wombhabhadisi, ongumlandeli wakhe nokuthi uthatha igama lakhe kuye. Futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ucabange ukuphelela okuphakeme futhi okuyigugu kunalokho lokunqoba kokuthula kobuKristu, okuwukuthula enhliziyweni, ukuthula ngokuhleleka kwezenhlalo, empilweni, impilo kahle, ukuhloniphana nobuzwe bezizwe . —I-POPE ST. JOHN XXIII, Ukuthula KwamaKristu Wangempela, Disemba 23, 1959; www 

Yingakho “iminyaka eyinkulungwane” kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi “inkathi yokuthula”; i ukuphelela kwangaphakathi weSonto unakho zangaphandle imiphumela, okuwukuthi, ukuthula kwesikhashana komhlaba. Kepha kungaphezu kwalokho: yi ukubuyiselwa zoMbuso Wentando Yaphezulu u-Adamu awulahla ngesono. Ngakho-ke, uPapa Piux XII wabona lokhu kubuyiselwa okuzayo “njengovuko” lweSonto ngaphambi ukuphela komhlaba:

Kepha kepha ngalobu busuku emhlabeni kukhombisa izibonakaliso zokukhanya kokusa okuzayo, kosuku olusha ukuthola ukwanga kwelanga elisha nelikhanyayo… Ukuvuka kukaJesu kuyadingeka: uvuko lweqiniso, olungavumi ukuba yinkosi Ukufa… Ngamuntu ngamunye, uKrestu kufanele abhubhise ubusuku besono esikuwo ngokuvuka komusa abuyiselwe. Emindenini, ubusuku bokunganaki nokuphola kumele bube yilanga lothando. Kumafektri, emadolobheni, ezizweni, emazweni angaqondi futhi enenzondo ubusuku kumele bukhanye njengosuku, nox sicut die illuminabitur, umbango uyophela futhi kube nokuthula. — UPOPE PIUX XII, U-Urbi et Orbi ikheli, Mashi 2nd, 1957; v Vatican.va

Ngabe uzizwa unethemba elithile okwamanje? Ngithemba kanjalo. Ngoba umbuso wobusathane ukhuphuka ngalelihora akusilo izwi lokugcina emlandweni wesintu.

 

USUKU LWENKOSI

Lokhu “kuvuka,” ngokusho kukaSt. John, kumisa ukubusa “kweminyaka eyinkulungwane” —ilokho oFata beSonto abakubiza ngokuthi “usuku lweNkosi.” Akusilo usuku lwamahora angama-24, kepha lumelwe ngokomfanekiso “yinkulungwane.”

Bheka, uSuku lweNkosi luyakuba yiminyaka eyinkulungwane. —Ingxenye kaBarnaba, Obaba beBandla, Ch. 15

Manje… siyaqonda ukuthi isikhathi seminyaka eyinkulungwane sikhonjiswa ngolimi olungokomfanekiso. —St. UJustin Martyr, Ingxoxo noTrypho, Ch. 81, Obaba beBandla, Amagugu ObuKristu

USt. Thomas Aquinas uqinisekisa ukuthi le nombolo akufanele ithathwe njengoba injalo:

Njengoba u-Augustine asho, unyaka wokugcina womhlaba uhambelana nesigaba sokugcina sokuphila komuntu, okungahlali iminyaka emisiwe njengoba ezinye izigaba zenza, kepha kugcina ngesinye isikhathi njengoba nje kwenza abanye ndawonye, ​​futhi kube isikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke unyaka wokugcina womhlaba awunakwabelwa inani elithile leminyaka noma izizukulwane. —USt. UThomas Aquinas, Ukuphazamiseka kwe-Quaestiones, Umq. II I-De Potentia, Umb. 5, n.5; www.dhpsriory.org

Ngokungafani nabezinkulungwane zeminyaka ababekholelwa ngokungafanele ukuthi uKristu wayezokwenza ngokoqobo woza ukubusa enyameni emhlabeni, oFata beSonto babeyiqonda imiBhalo ngokomoya izinsolo lapho zazibhalwe khona (bona IMillennarianism — Iyini, futhi ayikho). Umsebenzi wesazi semfundiso yenkolo uMfu Joseph Iannuzzi owehlukanisa izimfundiso zoFata BeSonto emaqembukweni (amaChiliast, amaMontanists, njll.) Usuyisisekelo esidingekayo semfundiso yenkolo ekuvaleni iziphrofetho zamapapa hhayi koFata beSonto kanye nemiBhalo kuphela, kodwa futhi ezambulweni ezinikezwe izimfihlakalo zekhulu lama-20. Ngingasho nokuthi umsebenzi wakhe usiza "ukuvula" lokho okubekelwe izikhathi zokugcina. 

Kwesinye isikhathi ngifunda isigaba seVangeli sezikhathi zokuphela futhi ngifakazela ukuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, ezinye izimpawu zalokhu kuphuma ziyavela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.

 

UMBUSO WENTANDO YAPHEZULU

Konke uJesu akusho nakwenza kwakungamazwi Akhe, hhayi intando Yakhe uqobo, kodwa intando kaYise.

Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe, indodana ayinakwenza lutho ngokwayo, kodwa yenza lokho ebona uyise ekwenza; ngoba akwenzayo, nendodana yakhe iyokwenza futhi. Ngokuba uYise uyayithanda iNdodana yakhe, uyitshengisa konke akwenzayo yena ... (Johane 5: 19-20)

Lapha sinesifinyezo esiphelele sokuthi kungani uJesu azithathela ubuntu Bakhe: ukuhlanganisa nokubuyisela intando yethu yomuntu kuBunkulunkulu. Ngamafuphi, ukuze hlukanisa isintu. Lokho u-Adamu akulahla Ensimini kwakunjalo: inyunyana yakhe kwiNtando Yaphezulu. UJesu weza ukuzobuyisa hhayi kuphela ubungane noNkulunkulu kodwa wenhlanganyelo. 

“Yonke indalo,” kusho uSt. Paul, “iyabubula futhi isebenza kanzima kuze kube manje,” ilinde imizamo kaKristu yokuhlenga ukubuyisela ubudlelwano obufanele phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nendalo yakhe. Kodwa isenzo sikaKristu sokuhlenga asibuyisanga ngokwaso ukubuyisela zonke izinto, simane senza umsebenzi wokuhlengahlengiswa waba khona, saqala ukuhlengwa kwethu. Njengoba bonke abantu behlanganyela ekungalalelini kuka-Adamu, ngakho-ke bonke abantu kumele babambe iqhaza ekulaleleni uKristu entandweni kaBaba. Ukuhlengwa kuzophelela lapho bonke abantu behlanganyela ekulaleleni kwakhe… —Inceku kaNkulunkulu Fr. UWalter Ciszek, Uyangihola (ISan Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1995), amakhasi 116-117

Ngakho, “uvuko lokuqala” lubonakala lungu- ukubuyiselwa yalokhu u-Adamu no-Eva abakulahla eNsimini yase-Edene: impilo ephilwa ngentando yaphezulu. Lo musa ungaphezu nje kokuletha iSonto esimweni se ukwenza Intando kaNkulunkulu, kepha esimweni se ukuba, ukuze iNtando Engcwele kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele ibe yileyo yoMzimba ongaqondakali kaKristu. 

Ngoba izimfihlakalo zikaJesu azikenziwa ngokuphelele futhi zigcwaliseke. Aphelele, empeleni, asesimweni sikaJesu, kodwa hhayi kithi, angamalungu akhe, noma eSontweni, okuwumzimba wakhe ongaqondakali. —St. UJohn Elies, qaphela "EMbusweni KaJesu", Imfundo yamahora, IVol IV, ikhasi 559

Manje akusona isikhathi sokwenaba ngokuningiliziwe ukuthi lokhu “kubukeka kanjani”; UJesu ukwenze lokhu ngemiqulu engamashumi amathathu nesithupha ayinika iNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta. Esikhundleni salokho, makwanele ukusho nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu uhlose ukubuyisela kithi “i isipho yokuphila ngentando yaphezulu. ” Umthelela walokhu uzobonakala kuyo yonke indawo njengegama “lokugcina” emlandweni wesintu ngaphambi kokupheleliswa kwezinto zonke.  

Isipho sokuphila ngentando yaphezulu sibuyisela kulabo abahlengiwe isipho u-Adam ayenaso ngaphambi kokudla okwadala ukukhanya kwaphezulu, impilo nobungcwele ekudalweni… -UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, Isipho Sokuphila Intando Yaphezulu emibhalweni kaLuisa Piccarreta (Kindle Izindawo 3180-3182); QAPHELA. Lo msebenzi unezimpawu zokuvunywa kweYunivesithi yaseVatican kanye nokuvunyelwa kwezenkolo.

The Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika ifundisa ukuthi “Indawo yonke yadalwa 'isesimweni sokuhamba' (ku-statu viae) ekupheleleni okuphelele okusazofinyelelwa, uNkulunkulu okumisele khona. ” ^[3]Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 302 Lokho kuphelela kuxhunyaniswe nomuntu, ongeyona ingxenye yendalo kuphela kepha umqhele wayo. Njengoba uJesu eveza kuNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccaretta:

Ngakho-ke ngifisa ukuthi izingane Zami zifake Ubuntu Bami bese zikopisha okwenziwe yi-Soul of Myityity in Divine Divine… Njengoba zikhula ngaphezu kwendalo yonke, zizobuyisela amalungelo weNdalo- eyami kanye naleyo yezidalwa. Bazoletha zonke izinto emthonjeni oyinhloko weNdalo kanye nenhloso okwadalelwa yona ukuthi kudalwe… —IsAm. UJoseph. I-Iannuzzi, Ubukhazikhazi bendalo: Ukunqoba Kwentando KaNkulunkulu Emhlabeni Nesikhathi Sokuthula Emibhalweni Yobaba BeSonto, Odokotela Nangezimfihlakalo (Indawo yomusa 240)

Ngakho-ke, uJohn Paul II uthi:

Ukuvuka kwabafileyo okulindelwe ekupheleni kwesikhathi sekuvele kuthola ukugcwaliseka kokuqala, kokugcina kokuvuka komoya, inhloso eyinhloko yomsebenzi wensindiso. Kuqukethe impilo entsha enikezwe nguKristu ovukile njengesithelo somsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga. —Izithameli Ezijwayelekile, ngo-Ephreli 22, 1998; v Vatican.va

Le mpilo entsha kuKristu, ngokusho kwezambulo zikaLuisa, izofinyelela esicongweni sayo lapho kuthanda khona umuntu evusa ngentando yaphezulu. 

Manje, isibonakaliso sokuHlengwa kwami ​​kwakuwuVuko, okwathi, ngaphezu kweLanga eligcwele amandla, lathwesa umqhele wobuntu bami, lwenza ngisho nezenzo zami ezincane kakhulu zikhanye, ngobukhazikhazi obumangalisayo nokumangala njengokumangaza iZulu nomhlaba. Uvuko luyoba ukuqala, isisekelo nokugcwaliseka kwazo zonke izinto - umqhele nodumo lwabo bonke ababusisiwe. Uvuko lwami yiLanga leqiniso elikhazimulisa ubuntu bami; YiLanga Lenkolo YamaKatolika; Kuyinkazimulo yawo wonke amaKrestu. Ngaphandle koVuko, bekuyofana nokuthi amazulu angenalo iLanga, angenakho ukushisa nangaphandle kokuphila. Manje, uvuko lwami luphawu lwemiphefumulo ezokwakha ubungcwele bayo kwiWill yami. —UJesu kuya eLuisa, ngo-Ephreli 15, 1919, Umq. 12

 

UVUKO… Ubungcwele obusha

Kusukela Ekuphakameni KukaKristu eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili — noma kunalokho “izinsuku ezimbili” ezedlule — umuntu ubengasho ukuthi iSonto lehlele ethuneni noKristu lilindele ukuvuswa kwakhe — noma ngabe usabhekene no “Passion” ocacile.

Ngoba nafa, futhi impilo yenu ifihliwe noKristu kuNkulunkulu. (KwabaseKholose 3: 3)

Futhi “Yonke indalo ibubula ngezinhlungu zokubeletha kuze kube manje,” kusho uSt. Paul, njengoba:

Indalo ilindele ngokulangazela okukhulu ukwambulwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu… (KwabaseRoma 8:19)

Qaphela: UPawulu uthi indalo ilindele, hhayi ukubuya kukaJesu enyameni, kodwa “Isambulo sabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.” Ukukhululwa kwendalo kuboshelwe ngaphakathi emsebenzini Wokuhlengwa kithina. 

Futhi namhlanje sizwa ukububula okungakaze kube khona owake wakuzwa… UPapa [uJohn Paul II] ukwazisa kakhulu ukulindela okukhulu ukuthi iminyaka eyinkulungwane yezigaba izolandelwa yinkulungwane yeminyaka yobumbano. —UKhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger (BENEDICT XVI), Usawoti woMhlaba (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1997), ihunyushwe ngu-Adrian Walker

Kodwa lobu bunye buzokwenzeka njengomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele njengange “Pentekoste entsha” lapho uJesu ezobusa “ngendlela” entsha eBandleni Lakhe. Igama elithi “apocalypse” lisho “ukwembula.” Okulindelwe ukwambulwa, ngakho-ke, isigaba sokugcina sohambo lweSonto: ukuhlanjululwa nokubuyiselwa kwakhe kwi-Divine Will — kanye nalokho uDaniel akubhala mayelana nezinkulungwane zeminyaka eyedlule:

Baningi abazozihlanza, bazenze mhlophe, bacwengisiswe… (Daniyeli 12: 9-10)

… Usuku lomshado weWundlu selufikile, umakoti walo uzilungisile. Wavunyelwa ukugqoka ingubo yelineni ekhanyayo, ehlanzekile. (Isambulo 19: 7-8)

USt.John Paul II uchaze ukuthi lokhu impela kuzoba yisipho esikhethekile esivela phezulu:

UNkulunkulu uqobo wayehlinzeke ukuletha ubungcwele “obusha nobaphezulu” lapho uMoya oNgcwele ufisa ukucebisa khona amaKristu ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yesithathu, ukuze “enze uKristu abe yinhliziyo yomhlaba.” —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Ikheli Kubobaba beRogationist, n. 6, www.v Vatican.va

Lapho uJesu ebusa eBandleni Lakhe, ukuze Intando Yaphezulu ibuse kuye, lokhu kuzophelelisa "uvuko lokuqala" loMzimba kaKristu. 

… Umbuso kaNkulunkulu usho u-Kristu uqobo, esimfisela ukufika nsuku zonke, futhi ekufikeni kwakhe sifisa ukubonakaliswa ngokushesha kithi. Ngoba njengoba kungukuvuka kwethu, lokhu kuye kuvuka kuye, ukuze naye aqondwe njengombuso kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba siyakubusa kuye. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2816

… Bayoba ngabapristi bakaNkulunkulu nabakaKristu, bazobusa kanye naye iminyaka eyinkulungwane. (Isambulo 20: 6)

UJesu uthi kuLuisa:

… Uvuko lwami lufanekisela abaSanta babaphilayo kwiWill My - futhi lokhu kunesizathu, ngoba isenzo ngasinye, igama, isinyathelo, njll. Okwenziwe kwiThanda lami kungukuvuka okungcwele okutholwa ngumphefumulo; wuphawu lwenkazimulo alutholayo; kungukuphuma kuye ukuze angene ebuNkulunkulwini, futhi athande, asebenze futhi acabange, azifihle kwiLanga eligcwele amandla engqondo yami… —UJesu kuya eLuisa, ngo-Ephreli 15, 1919, Umq. 12

Kepha, njengoba kusho uMbhalo neNkambiso, “usuku lweNkosi” kanye nokuvuka okuhambisanayo kweSonto kuqala kwandulelwe yisivivinyo esikhulu:

Ngakho-ke noma ngabe ukuqondanisa kahle kwamatshe kungabonakala kubhujisiwe kwahlukaniswa futhi, njengoba kuchaziwe kwihubo lamashumi amabili nanye, wonke amathambo akha umzimba kaKristu kufanele abonakale ehlakazekile ngokuhlaselwa kobuqili ekushushisweni noma ngezikhathi inkathazo, noma yilabo abathi ezinsukwini zokushushiswa badicilele phansi ubunye bethempeli, nokho ithempeli lizokwakhiwa kabusha futhi umzimba uzovuka futhi ngosuku lwesithathu, emva kosuku lobubi oluyisongelayo kanye nosuku lokuphela olulandelayo. —USt. U-Origen, ukuphawula ngoJohane, I-Liturgy of the Hours, Vol IV, k. 202

 

NGAPHAKATHI KUPHELA?

Kodwa ingabe lolu “vuko lokuqala” lungolwomoya kuphela hhayi olomzimba? Umbhalo weBhayibheli uqobo uphakamisa ukuthi labo "abanqunywa amakhanda" futhi abenqabile uphawu lwesilo “Waphila futhi wabusa noKristu.” Kodwa-ke, lokhu akusho ukuthi bayabusa emhlabeni. Isibonelo, ngemuva nje kokufa kukaJesu, iVangeli likaMathewu lifakazela ukuthi:

Umhlaba wazamazama, kwaqhekeka amadwala, kwavulwa amathuna, nemizimba yabangcwele abaningi ababelele yavuka. Baphuma emathuneni abo emva kokuvuka kwakhe, bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabaningi. (Math 27: 51-53)

Ngakho-ke lapha sinesibonelo esikhonkolo sokuvuka komzimba ngaphambi "ukuvuka kwabafileyo" okuza ekugcineni kwesikhathi (IsAm 20: 13). Ukulandisa kweVangeli kusikisela ukuthi laba bantu abavukile beTestamente Elidala badlula isikhathi nendawo kusukela "bavela" kwabaningi (yize iSonto lingazange lenze noma isiphi isimemezelo esicacile maqondana nalokhu). Lokhu kusho ukuthi asikho isizathu sokuthi uvuko lomzimba lungeke lwenzeke lapho laba bafel 'ukholo futhi "bezovela" kulabo abasemhlabeni njengabangcwele abaningi kanye noMama Wethu asebenabo, futhi benza. ^[4]bheka Uvuko Oluzayo Kodwa-ke, uma kukhulunywa nje, uThomas Aquinas usho ngalolu vuko lokuqala ukuthi…

… Lawa magama kufanele aqondwe ngenye indlela, okungukuvuka 'komoya', lapho abantu beyovuka futhi ezonweni zabo esipho somusa: ngenkathi uvuko lwesibili lungolwemizimba. Ukubusa kukaKristu kufanekisa iSonto lapho kungafeli abafel 'ukholo nje kuphela, kodwa futhi nabanye ababusi ababusayo, ingxenye ekhombisa konke; noma babusa noKristu enkazimulweni ngokuqondene nabo bonke, kukhulunywa ngokukhethekile ngabafel 'ukholo, ngoba ikakhulukazi babusa emva kokufa abalwela iqiniso, baze bafa. - UThomas Aquinas, ISumma Theologica, Qu. 77, ubuciko. 1, umfu. 4 .; kucashunwe ku- Ubukhazikhazi bendalo: Ukunqoba Kwentando KaNkulunkulu Emhlabeni Nesikhathi Sokuthula Emibhalweni Yobaba BeSonto, Odokotela Nangezimfihlakalo nguMfu Joseph Iannuzzi; (Kindle Location 1323)

Kodwa-ke, ikakhulukazi lokhu kungcwele kwangaphakathi uPiux XII aprofetha ngakho - ubungcwele obuqeda isono esibulalayo. 

Kudingeka uvuko olusha lukaJesu: uvuko lweqiniso, olungasabaphathi ubukhosi bokufa… Kubantu ngabanye, uKristu kumele abhubhise ubusuku besono esibi ngokuqala kokuphinda komusa.  -U-Urbi et Orbi ikheli, Mashi 2nd, 1957; v Vatican.va

UJesu uthi kuLuisa ukuthi, impela, lolu vuko alukho ekupheleni kwezinsuku kodwa lungaphakathi isikhathi, lapho umphefumulo uqala phila ngentando yaphezulu. 

Indodakazi yami, Ekuvukeni Kwami, imiphefumulo yathola izimangalo ezifanele zokuvuka futhi kiMi empilweni entsha. Kwakuwukuqinisekiswa nokusayinwa kwempilo Yami yonke, yemisebenzi Yami namazwi Ami. Uma ngiza emhlabeni bekungukuvumela umphefumulo ngamunye ukuthi ukwazi ukuzuza uvuko Lwami njengolwabo - ukubanikeza impilo nokubenza bavuke Ekuvukeni Kwami uqobo. Futhi ufisa ukwazi ukuthi uvuko lwangempela lomphefumulo lwenzeka nini? Hhayi ekupheleni kwezinsuku, kepha ngenkathi isaphila emhlabeni. Lowo ohlala eNtandweni Yami uvuka ekukhanyeni bese ethi: 'Ubusuku bami sebudlulile'… Ngakho-ke, umphefumulo ohlala kwiWill yami ungasho, njengoba ingelosi yathi kwabesifazane abangcwele abasendleleni eya ethuneni, ' uvukile. Akasekho lapha. ' Umphefumulo onjalo ohlala eNtandweni Yami futhi ungathi, 'Intando yami akusewona owami, ngoba uvukile eFiat kaNkulunkulu.' - Ephreli 20, 1938, Umq. 36

Ngakho-ke, kusho uSt. “Ubusisiwe, ungcwele onesabelo ekuvukeni kokuqala. Ukufa kwesibili akunamandla phezu kwalezi. ” ^[5]I-Rev 20: 6 Bazoba bambalwa ngenani - "insali" ngemuva kwezinsizi zomphikukristu.

Manje, uvuko lwami luphawu lwemiphefumulo ezokwakha ubungcwele bayo kwiWill yami. Abangcwele bamakhulu eminyaka adlule bafanekisela ubuntu bami. Yize besulile, bebengenaso isenzo esiqhubekayo kwiWill My; ngakho-ke, abalutholanga uphawu lweLanga loVuko lwami, kodwa uphawu lwemisebenzi yobuntu bami ngaphambi kokuvuka kwami. Ngakho-ke, bayoba baningi; ezicishe zifane nezinkanyezi, zizokwakha umhlobiso omuhle wezulu lobuntu bami. Kepha abaSanta babaphilayo kwiWill yami, abazobonakalisa ubuntu Bami Ovukile, bazoba bambalwa. —UJesu kuya eLuisa, ngo-Ephreli 15, 1919, Umq. 12

Ngakho-ke, "ukunqoba" kwezikhathi zokuphela akuyona nje ukuboshwa kukaSathane kwalasha (IsAm 20: 1-3); kunalokho, kungukubuyiselwa kwamalungelo okuba yindodana okwalahlwa ngu-Adamu - lokho “okufa” njengasensimini yase-Edene - kepha okubuyiselwa kubantu bakaNkulunkulu kulezi “zikhathi zokuphela” njengesithelo sokugcina sikaKristu Uvuko.

Ngalesi senzo sokunqoba, uJesu waqinisa iqiniso lokuthi wayenguMuntu noNkulunkulu, futhi ngovuko lwakhe waqinisekisa imfundiso yakhe, izimangaliso zakhe, impilo yamaSakramente nempilo yonke yeSonto. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Uthole ukunqoba ngaphezu kwentando yomuntu yayo yonke imiphefumulo ebuthakathaka futhi ecishe yafa ngenxa yanoma ikuphi ukulunga kwangempela, ukuze impilo yeNtando Yaphezulu eyayizoletha ukugcwala kobungcwele nazo zonke izibusiso emiphefumulweni ibanqobe. —INkosikazi Yethu eLuisa, Intombazanyana embusweni wentando yaphezulu, Usuku 28

..ngenxa yokuvuka kweNdodana yakho, ngenze ngiphinde ngivuke ngentando kaNkulunkulu. - ULuisa ku-Our Lady, e-Ibid

[Ngincenga] ukuvuswa kweNtando Yaphezulu ngaphakathi kwentando yomuntu; sengathi sonke singavuka kuWe… —Luisa to Jesus, 23rd In the Divine Will

Yilokhu okuletha uMzimba kaKristu ngokugcwele ukuvuthwa:

… Size sonke sifinyelele ebunyeni bokholo naselwazini lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ebudodeni obuvuthiwe, kuze kube sesilinganisweni esigcwele sikaKristu… (Efe 4:13)

 

UKUBA NGUWE SIPHELELE

Ngokusobala, uSt.John kanye nabaFata beSonto abaphakamisi i- "eschatology of despaology" lapho uSathane noMphikukristu benqoba khona kuze kube uJesu uyabuya ezoqeda umlando wesintu. Ngokudabukisayo, abanye abadumile bama-eschatologists kanye namaProthestani basho lokho nje. Isizathu ukuthi abanaki Ubukhulu beMarian of the Storm lokho sekulapha futhi kuza. Ngoba uMariya oNgcwele…

… Isithombe seBandla elizayo… —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Khuluma uSalvi, n.50

Futhi,

Ngaso leso sikhathi eyintombi nomama, uMariya uyisimbuli nokugcwaliseka okuphelele kweSonto… -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 507

Esikhundleni salokho, esikubona kabusha yilokho iSonto elikufundisile kusuka ku ukuqala—ukuthi uKristu uzobonakalisa amandla Akhe Ngaphakathi umlando, wokuthi uSuku lweNkosi luzoletha ukuthula nobulungiswa emhlabeni. Kuzoba ukuvuka komusa olahlekile kanye "nokuphumula kwesabatha" kwabangcwele. Yeka ukuthi lokhu kuyoba ubufakazi kanjani ezizweni! Njengoba iNkosi yethu uqobo yathi: “Leli vangeli lombuso lizoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke njengobufakazi ku zonke izizwe, khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. ” ^[6]UMathewu 24: 14 Besebenzisa ulimi olungokomfanekiso lwabaprofethi beTestamente Elidala, oFata beSonto Lokuqala basho into efanayo:

Ngakho-ke, isibusiso esabikezelwa ngokungangabazeki sibhekisa esikhathini soMbuso Wakhe, lapho abalungileyo bezobusa ekuvukeni kwabafileyo; lapho indalo, izalwa kabusha futhi ikhululiwe ebugqilini, izokhiqiza inala yokudla kwazo zonke izinhlobo kusuka emazolweni ezulu nasekuvundiseni komhlaba, njengoba nje abadala bekhumbula. Labo ababona uJohane, umfundi weNkosi, [basitshele] ukuthi bezwa kuye ukuthi iNkosi yafundisa futhi yakhuluma kanjani ngalezi zikhathi… —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); Ama-Adersus Haereses, U-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4,Obaba beBandla, Ukushicilelwa kweCIMA

… INdodana yakhe izofika ibhubhise isikhathi somuntu ongenamthetho, yahlulele abangamhloniphi uNkulunkulu, iguqule ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi, khona-ke uyophumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa…. ukuqala kosuku lwesishiyagalombili, okungukuthi, ukuqala kwelinye izwe. —I-Letter of uBarnaba (70-79 AD), eyabhalwa uBaba WabaPhostoli wekhulu lesibili
