UMoya Weqiniso

Ijuba elikhishwe uPapa Francis lihlaselwa yigwababa, Januwari 27, 2014; Isithombe se-AP

 

KONKE emhlabeni wonke, amakhulu ezigidi zamaKatolika aqoqe leli Sonto lePentekoste eledlule futhi ezwa iVangeli kumenyezelwe:

… Lapho efika, uMoya weqiniso, uzokuholela kulo lonke iqiniso. (Johane 16:13)

UJesu akashongo ukuthi “uMoya wenjabulo” noma “uMoya wokuthula”; Akathembisanga "uMoya wothando" noma "uMoya wamandla' — noma ngabe uMoya oNgcwele uyikho konke lokho. Kunalokho, uJesu wasebenzisa isiqu Umoya Weqiniso. Kungani? Ngoba kunjalo iqiniso lokho kuyasikhulula; Ikona iqiniso okuthi, lapho yamukelwa, iphile, futhi yabelwe iveza izithelo zenjabulo, ukuthula nothando. Futhi iqiniso lithwala amandla lilodwa.

Iqiniso, impela, lidonsela amandla kulo hhayi kunani lemvume eliyivusayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican, Mashi 20, 2006

Iqiniso laliyisisekelo senkonzo kaKristu. Kwakha, njengokungathi, kuyisisekelo salo msebenzi Wakhe wonke:

Ngazalelwa lokhu futhi ngizele lokhu ezweni, ukufakazela iqiniso. (Johane 18:37)

Futhi hhayi kuphela Akhe ukuthunywa, kepha okwethu. Ngaphambi kokuthi anyukele ezulwini, wadlulisela “inkonzo yeqiniso” kubaPhostoli:

Ngakho-ke hambani nenze izizwe zonke abafundi, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele, nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. (Math 28: 19-20)

Konke lokhu kungasho, bafowethu nodadewethu, ukuthi iSonto lingaphila ngaphandle kwezakhiwo zomzimba. Ingaphila ngaphandle kwamakhandlela, izithonjana, nama-altare amahle. Iyakwazi ukubekezelela emihumeni, emahlathini nasezibayeni. Kepha iSonto alikwazi ukuba khona ngaphandle iqiniso, isisekelo salo. Iqiniso-ke yilokho uSathane akuhlaselayo. Iqiniso yilokho udrako afisa ukusitheka ukuze afake umhlaba wonke ebumnyameni. Ngoba iqiniso lilula, futhi ngaphandle kwalo, ikusasa lesintu lisengozini, njengoba uPapa Benedict exwayisa ephindelela. ^[1]qhathanisa Ku-Eve

 

IPHOZU LOKUHLASELWA

INkosi yethu uqobo yafundisa:

Wonke umuntu olalela lawa mazwi ami awenze uzofana nendoda ehlakaniphileyo eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwedwala. (Math. 7:24)

Futhi,

Ongithandayo uyakugcina izwi lami… (Johane 14:23)

UbuKristu abugcini nje "ngokukholwa" noma ukukholelwa kuKristu — ngoba noDeveli uyakholelwa kuJesu, kodwa akasindiswanga. Kunalokho, ukholo olufakazelwa ngokulalela okuphilayo ezwini laKhe. Njengoba uSt. James abhala:

UAbrahama ubaba wayengalungisiswa ngemisebenzi ngokunikela ngendodana yakhe uIsaka ealtare na? Uyabona ukuthi ukholo lwalusebenza kanye nemisebenzi yakhe, futhi ukholo lwaluqedwa yimisebenzi. (Jakobe 2: 21-22)

Futhi yingakho iqiniso linokuvelela enkambisweni yensindiso yethu. Awukwazi ukukhombisa ukholo lwakho emisebenzini emihle ngaphandle kokuthi uqinisekile ukuthi uyakwazi "okuhle". Futhi ungazi ngokuqiniseka okuhle ukuthi uJesu wathuma abaPhostoli ukuthi basifundise ngqo lokho okufanele sikugcine. Ngokulandelana kwabaPhostoli, kuze kube namuhla, la maqiniso alondoloziwe okholweni lwamaKhatholika — yize ayenamalungu ngamanye.

Lokhu engikusho ngenhla kusobala kwabaningi benu. Kepha ngokusobala akubonakali kumaphesenti angama-62 abavoti base-Ireland, iningi le- okungamaKhatholika futhi asanda kuvotela ukuthi kuvunyelwe ngokusemthethweni ukushada kwabantu bobulili obufanayo. Kusobala ukuthi akucaci kubafundisi abaningi emhlabeni wonke abafuna inguquko emthethweni weSonto ukuze kuhlaliswe labo abasezimweni zesono sokufa. Ngokusobala akucaci ezinombolweni eziningi zezikhungo zamaKhatholika ezikhulisa ngokwengeziwe uhlelo lwezwe nolokuzithokozisa ukuze zibe ngaphansi kwesibhengezo senkolo entsha “Yokubekezelelana”. Njengoba uMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles Chaput asho lucidly:

Ngicabanga ukuthi impilo yesimanje, kubandakanya nempilo eseSontweni, ihlupheka ngenxa yokungazimiseli kokukhohlisa ukucasula lokho okuwubuhlakani nemikhuba emihle, kepha kaningi kuvela ukuthi kuyigwala. Abantu bakweleta ukuhloniphana nenhlonipho efanelekile. Kodwa futhi sikweleta omunye nomunye iqiniso — okusho ukungagunci. - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., "Ukunikela KuKesari: Umsebenzi WamaPolitiki WamaKatolika", ngoFebhuwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada

 

IZWE LAMAKHATHOLIKA ELIKHULULEKAYO

Isizathu sokuthi iNkosi ifune ngokushesha ukusikhulula ngokwesaba nokuthi sithandazele isibindi yileso sizoyidinga emafosheni ezinsukwini ezizayo. Abaningi kabazi nhlobo ukuthi inkululeko yethu njengamaKhatholika ishabalala ngokushesha kangakanani. AmaKhatholika amaningi awazi nakancane ukuthi ukuxegiselwa kwabo ezimisweni zokuziphatha kungekudala kuzodala kanjani uqhekeko olunzulu nolushubile emiphakathini yabo yesifunda.

INkosi ingikhumbuze kaninginingi emasontweni ambalwa edlule ukuthi lokhu okusondelayo kuzofika ngejubane leNguquko yaseFrance — ngobusuku obubodwa. Mhlawumbe hhayi kule nyanga; mhlawumbe hhayi kulo nyaka, kodwa uyeza—njengesela ebusuku. Amagama ompristi ongcwele futhi ongaqondakali ngiyawazi eNew Boston eze engqondweni. Ngo-Ephreli, 2008, uSt Thèrèse de Liseux wabonakala kuye ephusheni egqoke ingubo yeSidlo sakhe sokuqala futhi wamholela esontweni. Kodwa-ke, lapho efika emnyango, wavinjelwa ukuba angene. Waphendukela kuye wathi:

Njengoba nje izwe lami [iFrance], elaliyindodakazi endala yeBandla, labulala abapristi balo futhi lithembekile, kanjalo-ke nokushushiswa kweBandla kuzokwenzeka ezweni lakini. Esikhathini esifushane, abefundisi bazoya ekudingisweni futhi ngeke bakwazi ukungena emasontweni obala. Bazokhonza kwabathembekile ezindaweni ezifihlayo. Abathembekile bazoncishiswa “ukwanga kukaJesu” [iSidlo Esingcwele]. Amalungu azoletha uJesu kubo ngaphandle kwabaphristi.

Kwathi ngoJanuwari 2009 ngenkathi ethi iMisa, yena ngokuzwakalayo wezwa uSt Thrie esephinda umyalezo wakhe ngokuphuthuma okwengeziwe:

Esikhathini esifushane, okwenzeka ezweni lami lokuzalwa, kuzokwenzeka nokwakho. Ukushushiswa kweSonto kusondele. Zilungiselele.

Lokho kwenzeka eminyakeni eyisithupha edlule. Akekho owayengabikezela ukuthi umhlaba uzopendwa ngemibala yothingo ngokushesha okukhulu njengoba ushiye kanjalo, kushiya inqwaba yamaKristu ashushiswayo axoshiwe, akhishwa inyumbazane, ahlawuliswa futhi ahlekwa usulu ngokubambelela “kwabaphelelwe yisikhathi, ababandlululayo futhi ukungabekezelelani ”umbono wokuthi umshado phakathi kwendoda nowesifazane uyisisekelo esiyingqayizivele futhi esingabuyiseki somphakathi (cf. Emshadweni Wezitabane). Le ncazelo yomshado ebikhona kusukela ekuqaleni komlando wesintu manje, ngokusobala, ayilungile. Uma lokho kukodwa kungabangeli isizukulwane sethu ukuthi sinikeze isikhashana ukuqondiswa kwaso okuyimpoqo, ngiyakuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho lutho oluzokwenza, kufushane ngohlobo lokuvuswa izinguquko ezigcina zilethe: udlame (futhi ngalokhu ngisho udlame olubhekiswe eSontweni). Futhi ungakubukeli phansi ukuthi ukuwa kwemali kuzokwenzani ku-psyche jikelele yabantu abagcwele "igunya". Uyayikhumbula imibhikisho yaseWall Street eminyakeni embalwa edlule? Amasonto, ngokumangazayo, nawo ahlaselwa ngaleso sikhathi. Kwakungesinye futhi isixwayiso esadutshulwa umnsalo wempucuko yaseNtshonalanga yenguquko yamanje nezayo. ^[2]qhathanisa Inguquko!, Inguquko Enkulu futhi I-Global Revolution! 

 

ISIBINDI, HHAYI UKUGWEMA

Impela, abanye bazongisola ngehaba. Vele, ngasolwa ngokuba nehaba eminyakeni eyishumi eyedlule ngenkathi ngixwayisa Ushushiso!… I-Moral Tsunami Ukuchazwa kabusha komshado nezocansi kwakuzoholela kanjani ekushushisweni kweSonto. Impendulo engiyinikezile ngaleso sikhathi njengoba ngenza manje mayelana nokuthi yini okufanele amaKrestu azimisele ukuyenza kulelihora yile okufanayo: khasa phezulu edwaleni leqiniso. Okusho ukuthi, zibeke ngaphezu kwegagasi lokuza I-Tsunami Engokomoya ngokuma endaweni ephakeme yeSiko Elingcwele. Ukukholwa okungaguquguquki nokuziphatha okudluliselwe kithi akunaphutha kusukela lapho kudluliswa ngoJesu kubaPhostoli nakulabo abalandela futhi kwagcinwa nguMoya Weqiniso. ^[3]qhathanisa Ubukhazikhazi Beqiniso Eliqhubekayo futhi Inkinga Eyisisekelo Uma uzithola ungakolunye uhlangothi kothango namuhla, ngokuphikisana nezimfundiso zeSonto LamaKatolika, khona-ke umthwalo ophezu kwakho wukuhlola inhliziyo yakho, ukuthandazela uMoya weQiniso ukuthi uze ukukuholela kulo lonke iqiniso . Ungesabi iqiniso! Insindiso yakho incike kuyo.

Futhi uma amaKatolika e-orthodox engakaphonselwa inselelo okwamanje kulokho akholelwa kukho uma kuziwa emshadweni wezitabane, amalungelo okukhipha isisu, njll. Ngakho-ke kudingeka azilungiselele. Ngiphinda futhi ngicaphuna uFr. UJohn Hardon owathi ngesazi esithile:

Awekho amaKatolika angajwayelekile angaphila, ngakho-ke imindeni ejwayelekile yamaKatolika ayinakusinda. Abanakukhetha. Kumele abe ngcwele — okusho ukuthi angcweliswe — noma azonyamalala. Imindeni kuphela yamaKhatholika ezosala iphila futhi ichuma ngekhulu lamashumi amabili nanye yimindeni yabafel 'ukholo. Ubaba, umama nezingane kumele bazimisele ukufela izinkolelo zabo abazinikwe uNkulunkulu… -Intombi Ezibusisiwe Nokungcweliswa Komndeni, Inceku kaNkulunkulu, uFr. UJohn A. Hardon, SJ

Ngoba iNkosi izokhafula isivivi, ukolweni uzohlukaniswa nokhula, nezimvu ezimbuzini. Kuzoba nezinhlangothi ezimbili kuphela kulokhu kubhekana kokugcina: lelo leqiniso nelokuphikisana neqiniso (okufihliwe njengoTolerance). Njengoba uSt. John wafundisa,

Lowo othi: “Ngiyamazi,” kepha engagcini imiyalo yakhe ungumqambimanga, neqiniso alikho kuye. ^[4]isib. 1 Johane 2:4

Kuyamangaza lapho umuntu efunda eNcwadini yeSambulo ukuthi kanye "nabangathembekile, abonakele, ababulali, abangenasimilo, abathakathi, abakhonza izithombe, nabakhohlisi bazo zonke izinhlobo" lokho "Amagwala" zibalwa nalabo “abanesabelo echibini lomlilo nesibabule.” ^[5]isib. IsAm 21:8

Yingakho, bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo, ukuthi iNkosi ithumele Umama Wayo kithi futhi: ukwakha i-cenacle naye phezulu
Igumbi lenhliziyo yakhe lokuthandazela ukuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele. Njengoba ngishilo evikini eledlule, iningi lethu likhubazekile ngokwesaba ngoba siqala ukuzibuza ukuthi ebuthakathakeni bethu singasinda kanjani kulokhu kushushiswa okuzayo. Impendulo ithi uNkulunkulu uzosinika umusa ngehora esilidinga ngalo. Okwamanje, simane sibizelwe ukwethembeka, ukuthembela nothando — isinyathelo esisodwa ngasikhathi. ^[6]qhathanisa Belle, kanye noQeqesho lwesibindi Njengoba kusho esifundweni sokuqala sanamuhla:

Kwabazisolayo uNkulunkulu unikeza indlela yokubuyela emuva, ukhuthaza labo abalahla ithemba futhi ubakhethele iqiniso eliningi. (USiraki 17:20)

Yebo, uMoya Weqiniso unesinye isihloko: “Umsizi”. ^[7]isib. Johane 14:16; “Mmeli” Thembela-ke ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzokusiza wena neBandla Lakhe ehoreni lokulingwa njengoba nithandazela futhi namukela kabusha uMoya Weqiniso.

Ngakho-ke, ungamangali, [uJesu] uthi ngikukhuluma nawe ngihlukile kunabanye futhi ngikubandakanyeka ebhizinisini eliyingozi kangaka… lapho imisebenzi ibekwa ezandleni zakho, kufanele ushiseke ngokwengeziwe… ”Ngaphandle kokuthi uzilungiselele ngenxa yalolo hlobo lwento, ngikukhethile ngeze. Iziqalekiso ziyakuba yisabelo sakho kepha ngeke zikulimaze futhi zimane zibe ngubufakazi bokuqina kwakho. Uma ngokwesaba, noma kunjalo, uhluleka ukukhombisa ukuphoqelela inhloso yakho, isimo sakho sizoba sibi kakhulu. ” —USt. UJohn Chrysostom, Inkonzo Yamahora, Umq. IV, k. 120-122
