Imibhalo yenkolo lapha

ABANTU abaningi AmaKhatholika aya eMiseni njalo ngeSonto, ajoyine amaKnights of Columbus noma i-CWL, afake imali encane kubhasikidi weqoqo, njll. Kepha ukholo lwabo alulokothi lujule ngempela; akukho okwangempela Ingucuko zezinhliziyo zabo ziya ngokwanda ebungcweleni, ngokuya ngokuya eNkosini yethu uqobo, ukuze baqale ukusho ngoSt Paul, “Nokho ngiyaphila, akusengimi, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi; njengoba manje ngiphila enyameni, ngiphila ngokukholwa eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu eyangithanda, yazinikela ngenxa yami. ” ^[1]isib. Gal 2:20

Ngubani okhuluma kanjena manje? Izingxoxo zethu namanye amaKhatholika zike zithinte izinto zikaNkulunkulu, impilo yangaphakathi, noma ukuhlanganyela iVangeli nabanye? Eqinisweni, lezi cishe yizifundo ezingezona nezepolitiki manje! Omunye usanda kungitshela ukuthi bambuze kanjani umpristi wabo ukuthi angakhuluma yini ngokuba nobudlelwano noJesu, waphendula wathi, "Angikwazi ngoba angazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokho kimi." ^[2]qhathanisa Ubudlelwano bomuntu siqu noJesus

Masilwisane nemibono eyeqisayo eyeyenziwa yiHollywood kanye ne-evangelism ye-basicism, ikwenze kubonakale sengathi umKristu ojwayele ukuzikhandla uvame ukuba ngumKristu onenkani. Sidinga uku…

… Sisuse yonke imithwalo nezono ezisinamathele… (Kufundwa kokuqala namuhla)

Kulesi simo, omunye wemithwalo nezono esizithweleyo ukuziqhenya kwethu — ukukhathazeka ngalokho abantu abakucabangayo ngathi: “NgingumKatolika, kodwa izulu liyenqabela“ inkolo ”!” Kepha lokhu kuyisikhubekiso esibi kabi ukuthi umuntu angazibeka engcupheni yokungavimbi ukukhula kwakhe eNkosini kuphela, kepha alahlekelwe ukukholwa kwakhe ngokuphelele. Njengoba uSt. Paul wathi:

Ingabe manje sengizincengela kubantu noma kuNkulunkulu? Noma ngifuna ukujabulisa abantu? Uma bengisazama ukujabulisa abantu, ngabe angiyona inceku kaKristu. (Gal 1:10)

Ngokudabukisayo, amaKhatholika amaningi afana nezixuku ezalandela uJesu eVangelini lanamuhla. Bahamba ngokunyakaza, bahlikihlana naye ihora ngesonto ngeSonto, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, kepha abafinyeleli kuYe ngaleyo nkolo ehambisa izintaba, leyo nkolo eyedwa ekhipha amandla Akhe empilweni yomuntu:

Kwakukhona owesifazane owayehlushwa ukopha iminyaka eyishumi nambili… Wathi, “Uma ngingathinta nje izingubo zakhe, ngizakusindiswa.” Ngokushesha ukugeleza kwegazi kwakhe kwasha. Wezwa emzimbeni wakhe ukuthi uselaphekile ekuhluphekeni kwakhe… Wathi kuye, “Ndodakazi, ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile. Hamba ngokuthula… ”

Lokho wukuthi, “asiMthinti ngezinhliziyo zethu,” njengoba kusho uSt. Augustine.

Kepha kukhona olunye uhlobo lwamaKatolika, futhi ngiyasola ukuthi iningi lenu elifunda lokhu likulesi sigaba. Ulandela uJesu, kodwa uzizwa impilo yakho ingashintshi, ukuthi awukhuli ngobuhle, ukuthi awujulisi impilo yakho kuKristu. Kepha kulapho engikucela khona ukuthi ungazigwebi. KwiVangeli lanamuhla, owesifazane owopha kakhulu wafuna ukwelashwa iminyaka eyishumi nambili ende ngaphambi kokuba ayithole. Futhi-ke kukhona uJayiru, owafika kuKristu emncenga ukuba aphulukise indodakazi yakhe. Kubonakale sengathi uNkulunkulu uzowuphendula umthandazo wakhe khona manjalo… kodwa bese kubambezeleka… ukuphikisana… ngisho ukuphelelwa ithemba ngoba kubonakala sengathi uJesu “walala esikebheni” futhi.

Ngakho-ke, namuhla, mfowethu nodadewethu othandekayo, ngiyaphinda ngithi: ungazigwebi ^[3]isib. 1 Kor 4:3 noma wahlulele uNkulunkulu nendlela asebenza ngayo. Mhlawumbe uphakathi kwesiphambano esibi: ukulahlekelwa umsebenzi, ukulahlekelwa othandekayo, ukwahlukana okubuhlungu, ukoma ngokomoya, noma ukopha kwenhliziyo yakho emanxebeni obusha bakho. Ngiyakutshela, ungalahli ithemba. Yilokho ihora lokholo ngawe — uhlobo olufanayo lokholo oluphulukise lo wesifazane futhi lwavusa indodakazi kaJayiru kwabafileyo, if uyabekezela. UJesu wazi kahle okudingayo, lapho ukudinga khona. Angakwenza ulinde induduzo yaKhe, akushiye esiphambanweni isikhashana, kepha kuphela ukuze uzishiyele kuye kakhulu, ukuze ukholo lwakho lube kwangempela. Udinga ukwenza kuphela lokho uSt. Paul asitshela khona namuhla:

… Siphikelele ekugijimeni umjaho ophambi kwethu ngenkathi sigcine amehlo ethu ethe njo kuJesu, umholi nomphelelisi wokholo.

Grace kuthanda woza; ukuphilisa kuthanda woza; iNkosi iseduze, futhi ayisoze yashiya wena. Ngokwakho, khohlwa ukuthi umhlaba noma umndeni wakho ucabangani ngawe, noma ngabe bekuhlekisa njengoba benzile uJesu kwiVangeli lanamuhla. Esikhundleni salokho, mfune ngenhliziyo yakho yonke njengendoda noma owesifazane womele amanzi, ngoba unguJehova amanzi aphilayo lokho kukodwa kuzosuthisa umphefumulo wakho.

Ngenxa yenjabulo eyayiphambi kwakhe UJesu wasibekezelela isiphambano, edelela ihlazo laso…

Ungavumeli lutho lume endleleni yokuthinta umphetho kaJesu ngenhliziyo yakho, okusho ukuthi, ngokuthandaza ngokusuka enhliziyweni, ukhulume Naye ngamazwi akho ngezinyembezi nokunxusa, bese ulindela ukuthi eze lapho ubheka amehlo akho Yena (okusho ukuthi funda iZwi laKhe, ukuthandaza njalo, uzihluphe ngokuthanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba ekuthandile).

Cabanga ukuthi wakubekezelela kanjani ukuphikiswa okunjalo okuvela ezonweni, ukuze ungakhathali futhi uphele amandla.

Ngiyakuthembisa, lapho uhlwanyela izinyembezi zakho enhliziyweni Yakhe, uzovuna injabulo yenhliziyo Yakhe. Lona ngumyalezo engihlanganyela nawo emgwaqeni njengoba uhambo lwami lwamakhonsathi luqhubeka… futhi makabongwe uNkulunkulu, imiphefumulo eminingi iyaphila futhi iqala ukufinyelela kumphetho kaKristu.
