LOKHU isizukulwane sinjengendoda emi ogwini lolwandle, ibukele umkhumbi unyamalala emkhathizwe. Akacabangi ukuthi yini engale emkhathizwe, lapho umkhumbi uya khona, noma lapho kuvela khona eminye imikhumbi. Emqondweni wakhe, okuyiqiniso yilokho kuphela okuphakathi kolwandle nolwandle. Futhi yilokho kuphela.
Lokhu kufana nokuthi bangaki ababona iSonto LamaKatolika namuhla. Abakwazi ukubona ngale komkhawulo wolwazi lwabo olulinganiselwe; abaqondi ithonya leSonto eliguqulayo phakathi namakhulu eminyaka: ukuthi wayethula kanjani imfundo, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, kanye nezinhlangano zosizo emazwenikazi amaningi. Ubuncane beVangeli bubuguqule kanjani ubuciko, umculo nezincwadi. Abonakalise kanjani amandla amaqiniso akhe kubukhazikhazi bokwakhiwa nokwakhiwa, amalungelo omphakathi nemithetho.
Abakubonayo, kunalokho, kuwubuwula benani elincane labapristi, amaphutha nezono zamanye amalungu alo kuphela, namanga abahlaziyi abasonte amaqiniso esikhathi sakhe esidlule. Ngakho-ke, ukufunda kokuqala kwanamuhla kuba iculo labo elingcolile:
Ukwesaba nxazonke! Khuzani! asimlahle!
Ngempela, amaKatolika aba ngokushesha “amaphekula” amasha esikhathi sethu—amaphekula amelene nokuthula, ukubekezelelana, nokuhlukahluka. Kulabo abalivumayo igalelo leBandla ezisekelweni zomphakathi, umuntu ungezwa iculo elikhulayo “longqondongqondo” likhala:
Asikukhandi ngamatshe ngenxa yomsebenzi omuhle kepha ngenxa yokuhlambalaza. (Ivangeli Lanamuhla)
Ukuhlambalaza kokubambelela ngokuqinile ezinhlotsheni zokuziphatha; inhlawulo yokuba nezinkolelo ezingcwele; isibindi sokukholelwa ebukhoneni boMdali wezulu nomhlaba. Ngempela, ukuvikela umkhaya, izingane, nomshado manje sekubonakala “kuyinzondo” futhi “kunobandlululo.”
… Lesi yisinqumo, ukuthi ukukhanya kweza emhlabeni, kepha abantu bakhetha ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngoba imisebenzi yabo imibi. (Johane 3:19)
Kodwa akumelwe sesabe sime siqine, ngoba iqiniso aliyona nje imfundiso, kodwa liwuMuntu. Ukuba ngasohlangothini lweqiniso kuwukuvikela uKristu.
Ngokunikwa isimo esinzima kangako, manje sidinga kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili ukuba nesibindi sokubheka iqiniso emehlweni nokubiza izinto ngegama lazo, ngaphandle kokuvumela ukuyekethisa okulula noma isilingo sokuzikhohlisa. Mayelana nalokhu, isihlamba soMprofethi siqonde kakhulu: “Maye kulabo ababiza okubi ngokuhle nokuhle ngokubi, ababeka ubumnyama njengokukhanya nokukhanya esikhundleni sobumnyama” (Isaya 5:20). —UBUSISIWE UJOHANE UPAWULU II, I-Evangelium Vitae, "IVangeli Lokuphila", n. 58
Umvuthwandaba ‘wokubhekana kokugcina’ kwezikhathi zethu uyasondela. Kodwa lokhu kufanele kube isizathu, hhayi sokudabuka, kodwa injabulo. Ngoba Iqiniso liyonqoba, ekugcineni...
Izikhukhula zokufa zangihaqa, izikhukhula ezibhubhisayo zangikhukhumeza... Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza uJehova, ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami; wezwa izwi lami ethempelini lakhe… ukhulule ukuphila kompofu esandleni somubi. (Ihubo; ukufunda kokuqala)
