IN zonke izimpikiswano ezivele ngemuva kweSinodi esanda kuba seRoma, isizathu sokuhlangana kubukeka sengathi silahlekile ngokuphelele. Ibibanjelwe ngaphansi kwengqikimba ethi: "Izinselelo Zokwelusa Emndenini Ngokwesimo Sokuvangela." Senza kanjani shumayela ivangeli imindeni inikezwe izinselelo zobufundisi esibhekana nazo ngenxa yezinga eliphezulu lezehlukaniso, omama abangabodwa, impucuko, njalo njalo?
Esikufunde ngokushesha okukhulu (njengoba iziphakamiso zabanye oKhadinali zaziswa emphakathini) ukuthi kukhona umugqa omncane phakathi kwesihe nokuhlubuka.
Lolu chungechunge lwezingxenye ezintathu olulandelayo kuhloswe ngalo ukuthi lungagcini ngokubuyela enhliziyweni yalolu daba — ukushumayeza imindeni ezikhathini zethu — kodwa ukwenza lokho ngokuqhakambisa umuntu ongumsuka wezimpikiswano: uJesu Kristu. Ngoba akekho noyedwa owahamba kulowo mugqa omncane kunoYe — futhi uPapa Francis ubonakala ekhomba leyo ndlela kithi futhi.
Sidinga ukuqhumisa "intuthu kaSathane" ukuze sikwazi ukubona kahle lo mugqa obomvu omncane, odonswe egazini likaKristu… ngoba sibizelwe ukuhamba kuwo ngokwethu.
INGXENYE I - UTHANDO LOKWANDA
UKUSHINTSHA IMIKHAWULO
NjengeNkosi, uJesu wayengumthetho uqobo, esewumisile emthethweni wezemvelo nasemthethweni wokuziphatha wezivumelwano ezindala nezintsha. Wayengu- “IZwi lenziwe inyama,” ngakho-ke noma yikuphi lapho ahamba khona kuchaza indlela nathi okufanele siyithathe — zonke izinyathelo, izwi ngalinye, zonke izenzo, ezibekwe njengamatshe okugandaywa.
Ngalokhu siyakwazi ukuthi sikuye: lowo othi uhlala kuye, ufanele ukuhamba ngaleyo ndlela ahamba ngayo. (1 Johane 2: 5-6)
Impela, Akazange aziphikise, eshisa indlela yamanga okuphambene ezwini lakhe. 
Kepha lapho aye khona kwakuyihlazo kwabaningi, njengoba bengazange baqonde ukuthi inhloso yonke yomthetho yayikhona kugcwaliswe ngothando. Kufanele ukuphinda futhi:
Uthando alwenzi okubi kumakhelwane; ngakhoke uthando ukugcwaliseka komthetho. (Rom 13:19)
Lokho uJesu asifundisa khona ukuthi uthando Lwakhe alunamkhawulo, ukuthi akukho lutho, akukho lutho, ngisho nokufa — empeleni okuyisono esibi - okungasihlukanisa nothando lwaKhe. [1]isib. Rom 3: 38-39 Nokho, Isono iyakwazi futhi iyasihlukanisa nokwakhe umusa. Ngoba noma kunjalo “UNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka,” Ikona “Ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa.” [2]cf. Efe 2:8 Futhi lokho esisindiswe kukho yisono. [3]isib. Mat 1:21
Ibhuloho phakathi kothando Nomusa waKhe isihe.
Kungaleso sikhathi, ngempilo yaKhe, izenzo, namazwi lapho uJesu aqala khona ukudida abalandeli baKhe ngokwembula i- ubukhulu yomusa wakhe… izinga lapho umusa izonikezwa ukuze kubuyiswe abawile nabalahlekile.
IBHEKI ELIKHUBEKAYO
"Simemezela uKristu ebethelwe, isikhubekiso kumaJuda nobuwula kwabezizwe," Kusho uSt Paul. [4]I-1 Cor 1: 23 Wayeyisikhubekiso, ngoba loNkulunkulu ofanayo owayefuna ukuthi uMose akhumule izicathulo zakhe emhlabathini ongcwele, kwakunguNkulunkulu ofanayo owayehamba angene emakhaya ezoni. INkosi efanayo eyayenqabela ama-Israyeli ukuthi angathinti okungcolile kwakunguye lowo Nkosi owavumela umuntu ukuba ageze izinyawo zakhe. UNkulunkulu ofanayo 
yafuna ukuthi iSabatha kube usuku lokuphumula, kwakunguNkulunkulu ofanayo owaphilisa abagulayo ngokungakhathali ngalolo suku. Futhi Wamemezela:
Isabatha lenzelwa umuntu, hhayi umuntu lenzelwa isabatha. (UMakho 2:27)
Ukugcwaliseka komthetho luthando. Ngakho-ke, uJesu wayeyilokho uSimeyoni umprofethi athi wayezoba yikho: uphawu lokuphikisana—ikakhulu kulabo abakholwa ukuthi umuntu wenziwa ukuthi asebenzele umthetho.
Abazange baqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu wezimanga, nokuthi uNkulunkulu uhlale emusha; Akalokothi azidele, akaze athi lokho Akushilo akulungile, akalokothi, kodwa Uhlala njalo emangaza thina… - UPAPA UFRANCIS, Homily, Okthoba 13, 2014, IVadio Radio
… Kuyasimangaza ngesihawu saKhe. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwesikhundla sakhe sobupapa, uPapa Francis ubuye abone abanye eSontweni ezikhathini zethu njengabantu “abavalelwe emthethweni”, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Futhi-ke ubuza lo mbuzo:
Ngabe ngiyakwazi ukuqonda izibonakaliso zezikhathi futhi uthembeke ezwini leNkosi elibonakaliswa kubo? Kufanele sizibuze le mibuzo namuhla bese sicela eNkosini inhliziyo ethanda umthetho— ngoba umthetho ungokaNkulunkulu— kodwa futhi othanda izimanga zikaNkulunkulu kanye nekhono lokuqonda ukuthi lo mthetho ongcwele awusona isiphetho ngokwawo. —Umndeni, Okthoba 13, 2014, IVadio Radio
Ukusabela kwabaningi namuhla yilokho kanye okwakukhona ngesikhathi sikaKristu: “Ini? Esikhathini esinjalo ukungabi namthetho awucindezeli umthetho? Lapho abantu besebumnyameni obungaka, awunaki isono sabo? ” Kungabonakala kubaFarisi, "ababethanda kakhulu" umthetho, ukuthi empeleni uJesu wayeyisihlubuki. Futhi-ke, bazama ukukufakazela.
Omunye wabo, isazi somthetho, wamlinga ngokuthi: “Mfundisi, yiwuphi umyalo omkhulu emthethweni na?” Wathi kuye: “Wothanda iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho. Lo ngumyalo omkhulu kunayo yonke futhi ungowokuqala. Owesibili ofana nawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Kule mithetho yomibili umthetho wonke nabaprofethi kuncike. ” (Math 22: 35-40)
Lokho uJesu ayekuveza kothisha bezenkolo ukuthi umthetho ngaphandle kothando (iqiniso ngaphandle kwesisa), kungenzeka ngokwako ube yisikhubekiso, ikakhulukazi kwizoni…
IQINISO NGENKONZO YOTHANDO
Futhi-ke, uJesu uyaqhubeka, kaninginingi, ukufinyelela izoni ngendlela ebingalindelekile: ngaphandle kokulahlwa.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuba yahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze izwe lisindiswe ngayo. (Johane 3:17)
Uma inhloso yomthetho iluthando, khona-ke uJesu wayefuna ukuziveza njengalowo mgomo ukuba yinyama. Weza kubo njengobuso bothando njengaku ukuheha babase eVangelini ... Futhi igama laleyo mpendulo lithi ukuphenduka. Ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho nomakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena ukukhetha kuphela lezo zinto empeleni ezinothando. Leyo yinkonzo ye- iqiniso: ukusifundisa ukuthanda. Kepha uJesu wayazi ukuthi, okokuqala, ngaphambi kwanoma yini enye, sidinga ukukwazi lokho siyathandwa.
Siyathanda ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala. (1 Johane 4:19)
Yileli “qiniso lokuqala”, manje-ke, eliqondise ipulani yombono kaPapa Francis wokushunyayelwa kwevangeli ngekhulu lama-21, kuchazwe kabanzi kwi-Apostolic Exhortation yakhe, U-Evangelii Gaudium.
Inkonzo yokwelusa ngesitayela sezithunywa zevangeli ayikhathazeki ngokudluliswa okungahlanganisiwe kwenqwaba yezimfundiso ezizofakwa ngenkani. Lapho samukela umgomo wokwelusa kanye nesitayela sobufundisi esingafinyelela kuwo wonke umuntu ngaphandle kokukhetha noma ukukhishwa inyumbazane, umyalezo kufanele ugxile kokusemqoka, kokuhle kakhulu, okuhle kakhulu, okukhanga kakhulu futhi ngasikhathi sinye okudingeka kakhulu. Umlayezo wenziwa waba lula, ngenkathi ungalahlekelwa lutho ukujula kwawo neqiniso lawo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela uba namandla amakhulu futhi ukholise ngokwengeziwe. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 35
Labo abangazange bazihluphe ukuthola umongo wamazwi kaFrancis (labo, mhlawumbe, abakhetha izihloko zezindaba kunabomndeni wakhe) ngabe balahlekile umugqa omncane phakathi kokuhlubuka nesihe lokho kulandelwa futhi. Yini leyo? Lelo qiniso liyinsizakalo yothando. Kodwa uthando kumele luqale luthi vu ukopha ngaphambi kokuba luqale ukwelapha imbangela lenxeba ngamafutha weqiniso.
Futhi lokho kusho ukuthinta amanxeba omunye…
