Imibhalo yenkolo lapha

LAPHO kuwumbono eSontweni ukuthi ukushunyayelwa kwevangeli kungokwabambalwa abakhethiwe. Siba nezingqungquthela noma ohambweni besifunda futhi labo “abambalwa abakhethiwe” beza bazokhuluma nathi, bashumayele, futhi bafundise. Kepha thina sonke, umsebenzi wethu ukumane siye eMiseni futhi sigweme isono.

Akukho okungaba kude neqiniso.

Ngenkathi uJesu ethi iBandla "liwusawoti womhlaba," wayehlose ukusifafaza kuzo zonke izingxenye zempilo: ezemfundo, ezombusazwe, ezokwelapha, ezesayensi, ezobuciko, ezomndeni, ezenkolo, njalo njalo. Lapho, endaweni lapho sizithola sikhona, kufanele sibe ngofakazi bakaJesu, hhayi kuphela endleleni esiphila ngayo, kodwa ngokufakaza ngamandla Akhe ezimpilweni zethu kanye nokumdinga kwethu njengokuphela kwendlela yokuphila okuphakade. Kepha ngubani ocabanga kanjena? Zimbalwa kakhulu, ezaholela uPapa Paul VI embhalweni wakhe oyingqophamlando, Evangelii Nuntiandi:

Osukwini lwethu, kwenzekeni kulowo mandla afihliwe Wezindaba Ezinhle, okwazi ukuba nethonya elinamandla kunembeza womuntu? … Izithiyo ezinjalo zikhona nanamuhla, futhi sizozikhawulela lapho sisho ukungabi nentshiseko. Kubucayi kakhulu ngoba buvela ngaphakathi. Kubonakala ngokukhathala, ukudangala, ukuyekethisa, ukungabi nentshisekelo futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukuntula injabulo nethemba. - “Ekushunyayelweni Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla”, n. 4, n. 80; v Vatican.va

Ngakho-ke, ubunzima umhlaba ongene kubo, obungeyona enye into ngaphandle kokusitheka kwamaqiniso kaKristu asindisayo, afihliwe ngokwengxenye yiSonto nalo uqobo olulahlekelwe umbono wokuthunywa kwalo, elahlekelwe intshiseko yalo, lamlahla uthando lokuqala. ^[1]qhathanisa Uthando Lokuqala Lulahlekile Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesithathu kunokuphuthuma okuthile kukho esikhathini sethu:

UNkulunkulu uzikhathalele izikhathi zokungazi, kepha manje ufuna bonke abantu kuyo yonke indawo baphenduke ngoba usungule usuku 'azokwahlulela ngalo umhlaba ngokulunga'.

Ngubani ongacabangi ngamazwi kaJesu awasho kuSt. Faustina ememezela ukuthi umhlaba manje uphila "esikhathini somusa" esizongena esikhundleni sesikhathi sobulungiswa? Yebo, kukhona ukuphuthuma njengoba sibona abangane bethu abaningi, umndeni, nomakhelwane begxuma umkhumbi usuka eBarque kaPeter uya esikhunjeni sikaSathane, konke kukhanyiswe ngamalambu epulasitiki ashibhile.

Yingakho imibhalo yami yakamuva ku- "Flame of Love" inokubaluleka okufika ngesikhathi. “Gqugquzela ilangabi isipho sikaNkulunkulu onaso,” kusho uSt. Paul kuThimothewu osemncane futhi onamahloni, ngoba “UNkulunkulu akasinikanga umoya wobugwala kepha wasinika amandla nothando nokuzithiba.” ^[2]isib. 2 Thim 1: 6-7 Enye indlela engithole ngayo ukuthi uNkulunkulu uvusela ilangabi uthando lwaKhe enhliziyweni yami ukuluhlanganyela. Njengoba ukuvula umnyango weziko kungazelelwe kwandisa okusalungiswa, kanjalo-ke, lapho siqala ukuvula izinhliziyo zethu ukuze sabelane ngempilo kaJesu, abalandeli bakaMoya bavuthe amalangabi amandla eZwi. Uthando ngumlilo ozala umlilo omningi kuphela.

Ukufundwa kweMisa kwaleli sonto kusifundisa ukuqina kwesibindi okudingekayo zonke UmKristu uma kukhulunywa ngokuvangela. Ngoba iSt. Paul yaba nempumelelo eminingi, nokwehluleka okuningi. Kwenye indawo, amakhaya aguqulwa, kwenye ayichitha kalula imibono yakhe, kokunye amvalele ejele. Futhi-ke, uSt. Paul akavumeli ukuqhosha okulimele, ukwesaba, noma ubuthakathaka kumvimbele ekwabelaneni ngeVangeli. Kungani? Imiphumela ikuNkulunkulu, hhayi yena.

Sifunde esifundweni sokuqala sangoMsombuluko ngokuguqulwa kukaLydia.

… INkosi yayivula inhliziyo yayo ukuthi inake okwakushiwo nguPawulu.

NguMoya oNgcwele, "uMoya weqiniso" oholela imiphefumulo eqinisweni (iVangeli langoLwesithathu). UMoya oNgcwele ukukhanya okuvela esithandweni sezinhliziyo zethu ngomlilo kuNkulunkulu. Uma omunye umphefumulo uthobela uMoya, ke ilangabi lothando ezinhliziyweni zethu zingagxumela kwezazo. Asinakuphoqa noma ngubani ukuthi akholelwe ngaphezu kokuba singakhanyisa isigodo esimanzi.

Kepha akumelwe sahlulele umphefumulo noma isimo. Ngaphandle kwezithiyo, uPaul noSila bakhetha ukudumisa uNkulunkulu emaketangeni abo. UNkulunkulu usebenzisa ukuthembeka kwabo ukuzamazamisa unembeza wonogada wasejele futhi alethe ukuguquka kwakhe. Kukangaki sithula ngoba sinomuzwa wokuthi omunye uzosenqaba, asishushise, asithuke… bese alahlekelwa yithuba lokushintsha impilo?

Ngiyakhumbula lapho lesi sibhalo sokuphambuka siqala eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili edlule ngezwi elinzima elivela eNkosini:

Wena ndodana yomuntu — ngikubekile ukuba ube ngumlindi wendlu yakwa-Israyeli; lapho uzwa izwi eliphuma emlonyeni wami, ungixwayise bona. Lapho ngithi komubi: “Wena omubi, uzakufa,” ungakhulumi ukuxwayisa ababi ngezindlela zabo, bayakufa ngezono zabo, kepha mina ngiyakukubeka icala ngegazi labo. (Hez 33: 7-8)

Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu ngala mazwi ngoba angiqhubele phezu kwezintaba zobugwala kaninginingi. Ngicabanga nompristi omuhle waseMelika engimaziyo, umuntu ozithobile, ongcwele umuntu angacabanga ukuthi “uyisicathulo” eZulwini. Futhi, ngelinye ilanga iNkosi yamkhombisa umbono wesihogo. "Kukhona indawo uSathane akubekele yona uma uhluleka ukwalusa imiphefumulo engikuphathise yona." Naye ubonge kakhulu iNkosi ngalesi “sipho” esivimbele ilangabi enhliziyweni yakhe lingaphumi nenkonzo yakhe ingabi yisivivi.

Lokhu kungazwakala kunokhahlo kithi. Kepha bheka, uJesu akafelanga Esiphambanweni ukuze sikwazi ukuhlala phansi sibe nepikinikini ngenkathi imiphefumulo iwela esihogweni njengamaqhwa eqhwa. Umsebenzi Omkhulu wokwenza izizwe izizwe wanikwa thina—kithi ngo-2014 manje esiyinzalo nezingane ze-Apostolic Succession. Ngakho-ke ake sizwe nobumnene beNkosi yethu ethi kuSt Paul:

Ungesabi. Qhubeka ukhulume, ungathuli, ngoba nginawe. (Ukufundwa kokuqala kuka-Firday)

NjengoMariya eVangelini langoMgqibelo, masenze, "sisheshe" siye komakhelwane wethu ukuze abalethele uJesu ehlala kithi — lokho kuphila Ilangabi Lothando lokho kungancibilikisa izinhliziyo, kudle isono, futhi kwenze konke kube kusha. Ngempela, masisheshe.

… Kumele sizivuselele kithi umfutho weziqalo futhi sizivumele ukuthi sigcwaliswe ngentshiseko yokushumayela kwabaphostoli okwalandela iPhentekoste. Kumelwe sivuselele kithi ukuqiniseka okuvuthayo kukaPawulu, owamemeza: “Maye kimi uma ngingashumayeli iVangeli” (1 Kor 9: 16). Lolu thando ngeke lwehluleke ukugqugquzela eSontweni umuzwa omusha wokuthunywa, ongeke ushiyelwe eqenjini “lochwepheshe” kepha kumele ubandakanye umthwalo wawo wonke amalungu aBantu bakaNkulunkulu. —ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Novo Millennio Ineuente, hhayi. 40
