Umhlaba kusihlwa
IT Kubukeka sengathi umhlaba wonke ukhala ngenjabulo ukuthi singena "enkathini entsha" ngokuvulwa kwe UMengameli uBarack Obama: “inkathi yokuthula,” ukuvuselelwa kokuchuma, namalungelo esintu athuthukile. Ukusuka e-Asia kuye eFrance, kusuka eCuba kuya eKenya, akunakuphikwa ukuthi umongameli omusha ubhekwa njengomsindisi, ukufika kwakhe isimemezelo sosuku olusha.
Umzwelo kulo lonke idolobha — futhi ngokungangabazeki nakwelinye izwe — wawubonakala. Abantu bafisa uMongameli u-Obama ukuthi aphumelele kangangokuthi inkolelo yabo kuye icishe ibe isenzo sokukholwa. Mhlawumbe bekufanele ukuthi kudingeke ngiguqe emcimbini omkhulu wokugcotshwa — yize kungenxa yokuthi abantu abebehleli ngemuva kwethu bafuna ukuthi sisukume. -Toby Harnden, Umhleli wase-US we I-Telegraph.co.uk; Janawari 21st, 2009 ephawula ngokuvulwa.
Kodwa kungakapheli mizuzu eminingi efungile, i Iwebhusayithi yeWhite House yaqala ukuveza enye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu pro-ukufa, ongungqingili ajenda emlandweni waseMelika hhayi kuphela, kepha mhlawumbe nasemhlabeni wasentshonalanga. Kungani ngithi kufa ukufa?
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 esikhundleni sokukhanya nokukhanya esikhundleni sobumnyama” (Is 5:20). —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae “IVangeli Lokuphila”,n. 58
Ukuhwalala kuyadunyiswa njengokuntwela kokusa njengokusa. Inyanga yamukelwa njengelanga, neNdodana yaxoshwa ukuze amadoda azokwamukela inkanyezi ewile (uLusifa). Ubusika yiNtwasahlobo, futhi ekuseni ubusuku. Owesilisa ungowesifazane, owesifazane ungowesilisa. Ikhampasi iphendukile, nenyakatho iseningizimu. Amehlo aphendukela emhlabeni, akusekho I-Polaris, umuntu uziqondisa ngezinyawo zakhe hhayi uMdali. Ukusuka e-Australia kuya eCanada, ukusuka eBolivia kuya eBrazil, ifu lesiphepho liyamboza nemincintiswano yasebusuku.
Izulu liyaxwayisa. Izulu liyabubula. Izulu liyalila:
Abantwana bakaNkulunkulu badukile….
NJENGOKUSHINTSHA
Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, iNkosi yangixwayisa ukuthi ushushiso luzofika “njengokucindezela inkinobho. ” Lokho obekulokhu kuphisa ngaphansi komhlaba kuzophela ngokuzumayo, futhi ukubekezelelana kweSonto likaKristu kuzophela ngokushesha. Ukudinwa kuzophenduka intukuthelo, intukuthelo kube yinzondo, inzondo kube ukungabekezelelani, nokungabekezelelani nodlame. Kakade sesibilisiwe eNdiya nase-Iraq, e-Afghanistan nase-Afrika.
Ngenkathi ngithandaza phambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe izolo ekuseni, uvalo lwagcwala enhliziyweni yami njengoba isitha sangihlukumeza futhi ngokungihlukumeza nokwesaba. Ngabe sengiphendukela ku Umbhalo wamahora, umkhuleko weSonto. Kusukela ngosuku lokuvulwa, besizindla ngempilo ye abafel 'ukholo. Akuzenzakaleli. Kungenxa yesibindi namandla ethu. Ngifunde ukungena kukaJanuwari 22 emkhosini waseSt. Vincent… igama lenduduzo, induduzo nethemba:
UKristu wathi: Kuleli zwe uzoshushiswa, kepha ngokuhlakanipha ukuthi ushushiso ngeke lukhulu, futhi ukuhlaselwa ngeke kukunqobe. Ngokulwa nebutho likaKristu umhlaba uhlela izinkundla ezimbili zempi. Isinikeza isilingo sokusidukisa; kushaya ukwesaba kithi ukuphula umoya wethu. Ngakho-ke uma izinjabulo zethu zingasibophi, futhi uma singethuswa yisihluku, umhlaba uyanqotshwa. Kuzo zombili lezi zindlela uKrestu uphuthuma ukusisiza, futhi umKristu akanqotshwa. Ukube ubuzocabanga ngokubulawa kukaVincent ukubekezelela komuntu kuphela, isenzo sakhe asikholakali kwasekuqaleni. Kepha okokuqala qaphela amandla avela kuNkulunkulu, bese eyeka ukuba ngumthombo wesimanga. —USt. Augustine, Umbhalo wamahora, I-Vol. I-3, iphe. I-1316
Azovelaphi la mandla? Kusukela ekwehleni kukaMoya oNgcwele ngehora elizofika ku phakathi kweziyaluyalu. Ngoba isiphithiphithi sesihlwanyelwe futhi isiphithiphithi sizovunwa.
Uhlala phakathi kwendlu ehlubukayo; banamehlo okubona kepha ababoni, nezindlebe zokuzwa kepha abezwa… Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngokufutheka kwami ngiyovusa izivunguvungu… (Hezekeli 12: 2, 13: 1)
Njengokuqhuma kokugcina kwelanga emafwini aphakeme e-cumulus, uNkulunkulu uzokhanyisa umhlaba ngomusa wakhe nothando njengo umusa owodwa wokugcina ukunxusa amadodana abantu ukuba eze ekhaya. Futhi labo abavuka ukumhlangabeza bayohlala ekukhanyeni kwakhe, kuyilapho i Inkanyezi kaLuciferian izokhanyisa abangaphenduki, lapho ukuhwalala kwalesi sikhathi kuphenduka ubusuku.
Kodwa ubusuku abuhlali, noma ubumnyama bokufa. ILanga lizophakama futhi, namadodana kaNkulunkulu azokhanya kanye Naye. Leli yithemba lethu, futhi namanje, sibona ukuKhanya ngaphakathi… kwe Isikhathi sezikhathi useduze.
Ukunikezwa amandla nguMoya, kanye nokudonsela embonweni ocebile wokholo, kubizwa isizukulwane esisha samaKhristu ukuzosiza ekwakheni umhlaba lapho wamukelwa, uhlonishwe futhi unakekelwa khona - ungalahlwa, usatshiswa njengosongo futhi ubhujiswa. Inkathi entsha lapho uthando lungagugi noma luzifunela yona, kepha imsulwa, ithembekile futhi ikhululekile ngobuhle, ivulekele abanye, inhlonipho ngesithunzi sabo, ifuna injabulo yabo enhle, ekhazimulayo nobuhle.

Bathandekayo abasha, INkosi icela ukuba nibe ngabaprofethi balesi sikhathi esisha… —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ngasekhaya, Usuku Lomhlaba Wentsha, eSydney, e-Australia, ngoJulayi 20, 2008
