GUkuhlukana kwangempela kuyaqhuma emhlabeni wonke. Umjikelezo wezindaba cishe usubuswa ngokuphelele manje yinzondo ejulile ephethe izizwe, omakhelwane, kanye nemindeni. Isakazeka odlameni nasempini, ukudubulana kwabantu abaningi kanye nokubulala, inzondo kanye nokuhlaselwa ngamazwi okusithinta sonke. Imithombo yezokuxhumana isiphenduke impi yomgodi; ukuzijabulisa ngosizi lomunye sekuyinto yokuzijabulisa; ngisho nabadlali be-podcast, abathi bangamaKristu, bavame ukuphonsa ibhomu le-f-bomb ezitheni zabo. Ubani ongafunda incwadi kaSt. Paul eya kuThimothewu namuhla futhi angacabangi ngokujulile ngehora esiphila kulo?

...ezinsukwini zokugcina kuzakuba khona izikhathi zokucindezeleka. Ngoba abantu bazakuba ngabazithandayo, abathanda imali, abazidlayo, abazidlayo, abahlambalazayo, abangalaleli abazali babo, abangabongiyo, abangangcwele, abangenalo uthando, abangenandaba, abahlebi, abangenandaba, abanolaka, abazonda okuhle, abakhapheli, abangenandaba, abakhukhumele ngokuzikhukhumeza, abathanda injabulo kunokuthanda uNkulunkulu, abanesimo sokukholwa kodwa bephika amandla aso. (I-2 uThimothi 3: 1-5)

Abaningi abazi ukuthi izintaba-mlilo ziyanda emhlabeni wonke; kunjengokungathi umhlaba usuqalile ukulingisa inzondo enkulu yesintu esilahlekelwe umbono wemvelaphi nencazelo yaso, ngakho-ke isithunzi.

...umhlaba usuqalile ukubonisa isintu ukujula kwezono zakhe... umhlaba uyaphendula ngokwawo. —UJesu kuJennifer, Julayi 20, 2005, Mashi 8, 20025; bheka. Izintaba Ziyovuka

Ngisho neBarque kaPetru isiqalile ukuklewula nokububula ngaphansi kwezigaba ezidabula umzimba wayo. Kubonakala sengathi simatasa kakhulu ngezinkinga zenkonzo, noma iVatican II, noma ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, noma ukushiyeka kukaPapa kunokuba sifuna abalahlekile ngeVangeli. Ngubani omemezela ngokulula nangamandla. igama likaJesu kanye nomyalezo Wakhe wokusindisa emhlabeni? Ngaphandle kwalesi sibani sesihe sikaNkulunkulu, umyalezo wensindiso, umhlaba ungena ebumnyameni obungokomoya okubangela imiphumela emibi kakhulu:

… Ezindaweni ezinkulu zomhlaba ukholo lusengozini yokufa njengelangabi elingasenawo uphethiloli. -Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa Benedict XVI kubo Bonke Ababhishobhi Bomhlaba, Mashi 12, 2009; I-Catholic Online

Esikhundleni soKholo lweqiniso kuye kwavela imibono yamanga nezithixo, ikakhulukazi ubuMarxism, njengoba nje uJesu axwayisa:

Kuyovela abaprofethi bamanga abaningi, badukise abaningi; futhi ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabaningi luyophola. (UMathewu 24: 11-12)

Isithelo salokhu kuphola komphakathi ukuhlukanaNgenxa yalokho, kusho uMbhishobhi ohloniphekile uFulton Sheen:

Umhlaba wehlukaniswa ngokushesha waba amakamu amabili, ubumbano lokulwa noKristu nobuzalwane bukaKristu. Imigqa phakathi kwalaba ababili iyadwetshwa. Kuyoze kube nini impi singazi; ukuthi izinkemba kuzofanele zingagundiwe yini asazi; ukuthi igazi kuzofanele lichithwe yini asazi; ukuthi kuzoba yimpi ehlomile yini asazi. Kepha empikiswaneni phakathi kweqiniso nobumnyama, iqiniso alikwazi ukulahleka. Umbhishobhi ohloniphekile uFulton John Sheen, DD (1895-1979), uchungechunge lwethelevishini

Kufanele sinake lezi zimpawu, ngoba ukuhlukana kwakungomunye wabo uJesu athi uzofika ekupheleni kwenkathi:

Yekani kukhule ndawonye kokubili kuze kube sekuvuneni; ngesikhathi sokuvuna ngizotshela abavuni ukuthi: Buthani ukhula kuqala nilubophe ngezinqwaba ukuze lushiswe, kodwa nibuthele ukolweni enqolobaneni yami.’” (UMathewu 13: 24-30)

Lesi yisikhathi ophila kuso. —USanta Mikayeli Ingelosi Enkulu, okusolwa ukuthi kuManuela Strack, February 17, 2026

Lokhu kuhlukana kuzodlula iSonto. “Ukuhlubuka” okukhulu kuzofika, kusho uSt. Paul.^[1]isib. 2 Thes 2: 3 Kodwa kimi kubonakala sengathi lokhu kwenzeka ngezindlela ezilula kakhulu. Ngo-1990, uPapa uJohn Paul II waprofetha isimo seSonto lanamuhla — iSonto elilahlekelwe umbono womsebenzi walo wokusindisa imiphefumulo:

[Abanye eSontweni] ngakolunye uhlangothi bakhuthaza “izindinganiso zombuso” ezinjengokuthula, ubulungiswa, inkululeko, ubuzalwane, njll., kuyilapho ngakolunye uhlangothi bekhuthaza ingxoxo phakathi kwabantu, amasiko nezinkolo, ukuze ngokucebisana basize umhlaba ukuba uvuselelwe futhi uhambe usondele embusweni…. [kodwa] abathuli ngoKristu… ngokusho kwabo, uKristu akanakuqondwa yilabo abangenalo ukholo lobuKristu, kanti abantu abahlukene, amasiko nezinkolo bayakwazi ukuthola indawo efanayo eqinisweni elilodwa laphezulu, nganoma yiliphi igama elibizwa ngalo. Ngesizathu esifanayo bagcizelela kakhulu imfihlakalo yendalo, ebonakala ekwehlukeni kwamasiko nezinkolelo, kodwa bathula ngemfihlakalo yokuhlengwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umbuso, njengoba bewuqonda, ugcina ushiya isikhala esincane kakhulu seSonto noma ululaza iSonto ekuphenduleni “inkolo ephakathi” okucatshangwayo kwesikhathi esidlule, futhi ngoba babheka iSonto ngokwalo njengesibonakaliso nje, ngalokho isibonakaliso esingenakho ukungabaza.

Lona akuwona umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengoba siwazi kusukela kusAmbulo. Umbuso awukwazi ukwahlukaniswa noKristu noma neSonto. -URedemptoris Missio,n. 17

Ubizo Lokushumayela Ivangeli Elisha

Kuleyo ncwadi efanayo, uSt. John Paul II wanxusa mina nawe, uMzimba kaKristu, ethi:

Ngibona ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokunikela ngawo wonke amandla weSonto ekushumayeleni okusha nasekuthunyweni i-ad gentes.^[2]ezizweni Akekho okholwa kuKristu, akukho nhlangano yeSonto engagwema lo msebenzi ophakeme: ukumemezela uKristu kubo bonke abantu. -URedemptoris Missio,n. 3

Ukushumayeza umndeni wami

Ubizo lukaJohn Paul II kulokhu “kushumayela ivangeli okusha” ngaleso sikhathi lwaluduma emphefumulweni wami. Ngazama ngezindlela eziningi ukuphendula kulolo bizo — kusukela enkonzweni yami yokuqala yomculo Izwi elilodwa, ukuqopha iRosari kanye ne-Divine Mercy Chaplet kanye nama-albhamu okukhulekela nokuzisola, ukuhamba kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika nakwamanye amazwe ukuyokhonza emasontweni… kanye nalokhu kubhala ubuphostoli njengamanje. Kodwa-ke, amazwi kaSt. Paul angisola kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili:

Ngiyakuyala phambi kukaNkulunkulu noKristu Jesu, oyakwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo, nangokubonakala kwakhe namandla akhe obukhosi: shumayela izwi, uphikelele kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kulungele noma kungenamsebenzi; kholwisa, ukhuze, ukhuthaze ngakho konke ukubekezela nokufundisa. (I-2 uThimothi 4: 1-2)

...maye kimi uma ngingakushumayeli! (I-1 Korion 9: 16)

Ingabe sesiyazi nokuthi kusho ukuthini “ukushumayela iVangeli”? Ingabe amaKatolika ayazi nokuthi “umyalezo wensindiso uyini”? Singawuphinda esitolo sokudla, noma epaki, noma esitimeleni kumuntu othile uMoya oNgcwele osilethe phambi kwethu? Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingabe umyalezo esinikwe wona ukuba siwabelane nabanye ubonakala emazwini nasezenzweni zethu, mathupha noma ezinkundleni zokuxhumana?

Hlalani nikulungele ukunikeza incazelo kunoma ubani onibuza isizathu sethemba lenu, kodwa kwenzeni ngobumnene nangenhlonipho, nigcine unembeza wenu umsulwa, ukuze kuthi lapho nihlanjalazwa, labo abahlambalaza ukuziphatha kwenu okuhle kuKristu bahlazeke. (I-1 Peter 3: 15-16)

Kulesi simo samanje sokwahlukana sibizelwe ukuba “uphawu lokuphikisana”^[3]isib. ULuka 2:34 kuyo yonke le nzondo — ukuba uphawu lothando, nokuthula, nethemba.

Ekucabangeni kwami okulandelayo, ngifuna ukwabelana ngencazelo eyisisekelo okufanele siyazi futhi sihlale sikulungele ukuyimemezela ngamazwi ethu kwabanye, njengoba uMoya uhola...
