Leli Ihora Lolahleko

NSekudlule usuku kule nyanga edlule lapho bengingacabangi “ngamazwi amanje” esikhathi esedlule mayelana “nehora lokonakala” elizayo lesintu (bheka Ukufunda Okuhlobene ngezansi). Ngizowafingqa ngezansi...

Isizukulwane Esilahlekayo

Isizukulwane sethu sifana kakhulu nendodana yolahleko (Luka 15). Sithathe ifa lethu—iNtando yobuNkulunkulu u-Adamu ake waba nayo yokuhlela yonke indalo ekupheleleni (bheka Ubuntu beqiniso) - futhi sayichitha ngentando yethu yomuntu.

Indodana encane yabutha konke eyayinakho, yamuka, yaya ezweni elikude; (Luka 15: 13)

Ngemva kwamakhulu amaningi eminyaka amade, manje sesichitha leyo ntando, njengokungathi, ukuze silawule ukuphila uqobo. Osopolitiki bethu basebenzise “ifa” ekuchazeni kabusha umndeni; ososayensi ekuchazeni kabusha ukuphila; kanye namanye amalungu eBandla ekuchazeni kabusha uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, isintu sifinyelela a iphuzu lokuphuka lapho ukukhetha kwethu ngokubambisana kuletha impucuko emadolweni ayo.

…wayefisa ukudla asuthe ngemidumba eyayidliswa yizingulube, kodwa kwakungekho muntu owayemnika yona. (Luka 15: 16)

The ukuvuswa komhlaba lokho kwenzeka ngemva kokufa Charlie Kirk kodwa uphawu olulodwa ukuthi isivuno sivuthwe kanjani sokubuyisela amadodana namadodakazi alahlekile eNdlini kaBaba.

Umhlaba lapho kusondela inkulungwane entsha yeminyaka, lapho lonke iBandla lilungiselela khona, kunjengensimu elungele ukuvunwa. —ST. UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Usuku Lwabasha Lomhlaba, ekhaya, Agasti 15, 1993

Ngenkathi zonke izimpawu kanye nemethrikhi zikhomba ku- Ihora Lobulungiswa isondela ngokushesha kubo bonke ubuso bomhlaba, okokuqala, kukhona Ihora Lomusa - ithuba leKhaya Elikhulu Lokubuya. Njengoba uJesu asho ku-St. Faustina….

Khuluma emhlabeni ngomusa Wami; sonke isintu masibone isihe Sami esingenakulinganiswa. Kuyisibonakaliso sezikhathi zokuphela; emva kwalokho kuzofika usuku lobulungiswa. —UJesu kuya eSt Faustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 848

Ngempela, wukusondela koSuku lweNkosi (bheka UFaustina nosuku lweNkosi). Kuyinto enkulu - yingakho uNkulunkulu ehoxise yonke inkathi ekhulwini elidlule ethumela umprofethi emva komprofethi (iNkosi yeNkosi yethu phakathi kwabo) ukuba abize lesi sizukulwane ukuthi sibuyele ekhaya. Abaningi bangase bacabange ukuthi uBaba waseZulwini uvutha intukuthelo, uzimisele ukuchoboza ababi. NjengoJona esifundweni seMisa sokuqala sanamuhla, bangase bathukuthele ngokuthi uNkulunkulu akazange alibhubhise iNineve lalesi sizukulwane. Kodwa uJesu uveza isithombe esihlukile….

Umzuzu Wolahleko

INdodana yolahleko yagcina iqalile ukubuyela ekhaya ngemva kokuba nayo ububi obuphelile...

Esechithe konke, kwaba khona indlala enkulu kulelo zwe, waqala ukuswela... (Luka 15: 14)

Izwe lethu ngempela libonakala lingene endlaleni enkulu - indlala ye iqiniso, njengezingxenye ezinkulu zeBandla wahlubuka, kube sivivi, noma ekhubazekile ethule ubugwala.

Yebo, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthuma indlala ezweni, kungabi yindlala yesinkwa, nokoma amanzi, kodwa okokuzwa izwi likaJehova. (Amosi 8: 11)

Yilokhu okulethe isizukulwane sethu ekupheleni kwenkathi, esikhathini sokuvuna, njengoba nje iNkosi yethu nemiBhalo yabikezela:

'Nkosi, awuhlwanyelanga imbewu enhle ensimini yakho na? Seluvelaphi ukhula?' Wathi: 'Lokhu kwenziwe yisitha.' Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye: 'Uyathanda yini ukuba sihambe siwakhuphule na?' Wathi kubo: ‘Qha, uma nisiphula ukhula, ningasiphula amabele kanye nalo. Yekani kukhule ndawonye kuze kuvunwe; khona-ke ngesikhathi sokuvuna ngiyakuthi kubavuni: Buthani kuqala ukhula, nilubophe izinyanda ukuze lushiswe, kodwa ubuthele ukolweni esiphaleni sami. (Math 13: 27-30)

Futhi manje sibona ngokucacile ukuhlukaniswa kwe ukhula lukakolweni, ubumnyama obuvela ekukhanyeni. Ingafinyezwa kanje:

Futhi yilesi isiphetho, ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile emhlabeni, kodwa abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, ngoba imisebenzi yabo yayimibi. (UJohn 3: 19)

Akukhona yini lokhu ukuthi abaningi namuhla babiza okubi ngokuthi “okuhle” nokuhle ngokuthi “kubi”? Lokhu, nakho, kuwukugcwaliseka kwemiBhalo njengoba kwenzeka manje emhlabeni wonke:

... abalwamukelanga uthando lweqiniso ukuze basindiswe. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu ubathumelela amandla okudukisa ukuze bakholwe amanga, ukuze bonke abangakholwanga iqiniso kodwa bevuma ukona balahlwe. (I-2 I-Tesaronika 2: 10-12)

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” (Is 5:20). —UPOPA JOHN PAUL II, Evangelium Vitae, “IVangeli Lokuphila”,n. 58

Lawa “mandla akhohlisayo” (NAB) noma “inkohliso enamandla” (RSV) iza, ngokwengxenye, “ngezibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziqamba amanga” (2 Thesalonika 2:9), okuvela ngokusobala njenge. ubuchwepheshe, ikakhulukazi, ubuhlakani bokwenziwa.

Uma uNkulunkulu nezindinganiso zokuziphatha, umahluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi, zihlala ebumnyameni, khona-ke zonke ezinye “izibani”, ezibeka lezi zindlela zobuchwepheshe ezingakholeki, aziyona inqubekela phambili kuphela kodwa futhi ziyizingozi ezibeka thina nezwe engcupheni. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, u-Easter Vigil Homily, ngomhlaka-7 Ephreli 2012

Ukubuya kweNdodana yolahleko kwaqala ngokuhlupheka, kwafinyelela umvuthwandaba “ekukhanyiselweni kukanembeza” lapho ngokungazelelwe yangabaza ukuhlakanipha kokushiya umuzi kayise. Kanjalo futhi, lesi sizukulwane sibonakala sihlose ukufika eqophelweni lokuba sifinyelele emadolweni aso endaweni yengulube yesono lapho, ngokwabangcwele kanye nezinkolelo-ze ngokufanayo, uNkulunkulu ezokwenza ngokufanayo “ukukhanya konembeza."

Bhala: ngaphambi kokuba ngize njengoMahluleli olungile, ngiqale ngivule umnyango womusa Wami. Lowo owenqabayo ukudlula emnyango womusa Wami kufanele adlule emnyango wobulungisa Bami... Ngaphambi kokuba kufike usuku lobulungisa, abantu bazonikezwa isibonakaliso salolu hlobo emazulwini: Konke ukukhanya ezulwini kuzocishwa, futhi kuyoba nobumnyama obukhulu phezu komhlaba wonke. Khona-ke uphawu lwesiphambano luyobonakala esibhakabhakeni, futhi kusukela ezintubeni lapho izandla nezinyawo zoMsindisi zazibethelwe khona kuzovela izibani ezinkulu eziyokhanyisa umhlaba isikhathi esithile. Lokhu kuzokwenzeka maduze nje ngaphambi kosuku lokugcina. -Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari yase-St. Faustina, n. 1146, 83; cf. Iminyango yeFaustina

Isibhakabhaka simnyama futhi kubonakala sengathi kusebusuku kodwa inhliziyo yami ingitshela ukuthi ngesinye isikhathi ntambama. Ngibona izulu livuleka futhi ngizwa eside, kudonswa ukuduma kwezulu. Uma ngibheka phezulu ngibona uJesu opha igazi esiphambanweni futhi abantu baguqa ngamadolo. UJesu ube esengitshela, “Bazobona umphefumulo wabo njengoba ngibona wona. ” Ngibona amanxeba ngokucacile kuJesu noJesu bese ethi, “Bazobona isilonda ngasinye abasengeze kwi-My Most Sacred Heart. ” Ngakwesobunxele ngibona uMama Obusisiwe ekhala bese uJesu ephinda ekhuluma nami futhi ethi, “Lungisani, zilungiseleleni manje isikhathi sisondele. Ngane yami, thandazela imiphefumulo eminingi ezobhubha ngenxa yezindlela zayo zobugovu nezesono. ” Njengoba ngibheka phezulu ngibona amaconsi egazi ehla kuJesu futhi eshaya umhlaba. Ngibona izigidi zabantu abavela ezizweni ezivela kuwo wonke amazwe. Abaningi babonakala bedidekile njengoba babebheke phezulu esibhakabhakeni. UJesu uthi, “Bafuna ukukhanya ngoba akufanele kube yisikhathi sobumnyama, nokho ubumnyama besono obumboze lo mhlaba futhi ukukhanya okuwukuphela kwayo kuyoba yilokho engiza nakho, ngoba isintu asikuboni ukuphaphama okuzokwethulwa phezu kwakhe. Lokhu kuyoba ukuhlanzwa okukhulu kakhulu kusukela ekuqaleni kwendalo. —Umboni waseMelika, uJennifer; bona www.wordsfromjesus.com , Ngo-September 12, i-2003

Coming Home

Lokhu makube ubizo oluphuthumayo kuwo wonke umfundi ukuba azilungise noNkulunkulu. I Ubaba ulindele ukubuya kwakho… Empeleni, unguye, ukubukela ukuze ubuye.

Esekude, uyise wambona, waba nesihe, wagijima, wamgona, wamanga. (Luka 15: 20)

Awunakwesaba - ngaphandle kwakho, futhi wenqaba umusa kaNkulunkulu ngenkathi sisekulokhu isikhathi somusa, njengoba uJesu akubiza. Ake ngiphinde izwi elinamandla Ngathola usuku olulodwa ngihlezi phambi kweSakramente eliNgcwele eminyakeni eminingi edlule...

Kuleyo miphefumulo elahlekile eboshwe esonweni esifayo:

Yini okudingeka uyenze? Nokho, umfanekiso weNdodana yolahleko uyasitshela:

Ngizosuka ngiye kubaba ngithi kuye: “Baba, ngonile kulo izulu nakuwe . . . (ULuka 15: 18-19)

Nebala wenza kanjalo, ubaba wasibuyisela isithunzi sakhe. Indlela evamile uNkulunkulu aletha ngayo lesi simangaliso soMusa woBunkulunkulu ngokusebenzisa ISakramente le Ukuvuma izono.

Ukube umphefumulo ubufana nesidumbu esibolayo ukuze ngokombono womuntu, kungabi khona [ithemba] lokubuyiselwa futhi konke kube sekuvele kulahlekile, akunjalo ngoNkulunkulu. Isimangaliso Sesihe SikaNkulunkulu sibuyisela lowo mphefumulo ngokugcwele. O, babuhlungu kangakanani labo abangasizakali ngesimangaliso somusa kaNkulunkulu! -Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1448

Kodwa kuthiwani ngamadodana namadodakazi nabazukulu benu abasekude?

Sisekupheleni kwenkathi futhi ukuhlanzwa okukhulu komhlaba kusondela ngokushesha - the Usuku Lobulungiswa. Manje, lapho uNkulunkulu esezohlanza umhlaba okokuqala ngozamcolo, Wabheka umhlaba wonke ukuze athole othile, endaweni ethile owayelungile.

Lapho uJehova ebona ukuthi ububi bomuntu bukhulu kangakanani emhlabeni, nokuthi zonke izinkanuko zenhliziyo yakhe zaziwububi ngaso sonke isikhathi, uJehova wazisola ngokwenza abantu emhlabeni, futhi inhliziyo yakhe yadabuka... Kodwa uNowa wathola umusa kuJehova. (UGenesise 6: 5-7)

Kepha nansi into. UNkulunkulu wasindisa uNowa futhi umndeni wakhe:

UNowa wangena emkhunjini kanye namadodana akhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi bamadodana akhe ngenxa yamanzi kazamcolo. (UGenesise 7: 7)

UNkulunkulu welula ukulunga kukaNowa phezu komndeni wakhe, ebavikela ezimvula zobulungiswa, yebo yize kwakunguNowa kuphela ophethe isambulela, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso.

Uthando lusibekela inqwaba yezono. (1 Pet 4: 8)

Ngakho-ke, nali iphuzu: ube nguNowa emndenini wakho. Yiba “ngolungileyo,” futhi ngikholwa ukuthi ngemikhuleko nomhlatshelo wakho, ukwethembeka nokubekezela kwakho—okungukuthi, ukubamba iqhaza kuJesu kanye namandla esiphambano Sakhe—uNkulunkulu uyokwelula irempu yesihe kwabathandekayo bakho ngendlela Yakhe, isikhathi Sakhe, ngisho noma ngomzuzu wokugcina...

Isihe sikaNkulunkulu kwesinye isikhathi sithinta isoni ngomzuzu wokugcina ngendlela emangalisayo futhi engaqondakali. Ngaphandle, kubonakala sengathi konke kulahlekile, kepha akunjalo. Umphefumulo, okhanyiswe ngemisebe yomusa kaNkulunkulu wokugcina onamandla, uphendukela kuNkulunkulu ngomzuzu wokugcina ngamandla amakhulu othando okuthi, ngokuphazima kweso, wamukele intethelelo yesono nesijeziso, kuyilapho ngaphandle ingakhombisi ukuphenduka noma ukuzisola, ngoba imiphefumulo [ngaleso sikhathi] ayisabhekani nezinto zangaphandle. O, yeka indlela ukuqonda okungaphezu kokuqonda ngayo! —USt. UFaustina, Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 1698

Kulungile, ngishilo okuningi namuhla! Uma ufuna ukujula, bheka Ukufunda Okuhlobene ngezansi… Njengoba ngike ngasho kamuva nje, ngizizwe ngiholeleka ekutheni ngingenele isikhundla sobuKhansela esifundeni sethu—okuyinto eyisimanga kimina! Ukhetho lungakapheli amasonto amabili, ngakho ngiyaxolisa ukuthi isikhathi sami singase silinganiselwe kuze kube yileso sikhathi. Ukuthula!
