(Math 16: 18)

WE bengishayela ngaphesheya komgwaqo oyiqhwa eqhweni eLake Winnipeg izolo ngenkathi ngibheka umakhalekhukhwini wami. Umlayezo wokugcina engiwuthole ngaphambi kokuba isignali yethu iphele bekungukuthi “UHabemus Papam! ”

Namuhla ekuseni, ngikwazile ukuthola umuntu wasekhaya lapha kulesi siqiwu esikude saseNdiya onoxhumano lwesethelayithi — nangalokho, izithombe zethu zokuqala zeThe New Helmsman. Othembekile, othobekile, oqinile wase-Argentina.

Idwala.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, ngagqugquzelwa ukuba ngicabange ngephupho likaSt. John Bosco ku Ukuphila Iphupho? ezwa ukulindela kokuthi iZulu lizonikeza iSonto umphathi wezinsimbi ozoqhubeka nokuqondisa iBarque of Peter phakathi kwezinsika ezimbili zephupho likaBosco.

UPapa omusha, ebeka isitha ekunqobeni nasekunqobeni zonke izithiyo, uqondisa umkhumbi uze ufike kulezi zinsika ezimbili bese uzophumula phakathi kwazo; uyenza isheshe ngeketanga elikhanyayo elenga kusuka kumnsalo kuya kunehange lekholomu lapho kumi khona uMgcini; nangelinye iketanga lokukhanya elenga ngemuva, ulibophela ngaphesheya kolunye ihange elenga kukholamu okukulo iNcasakazi Engaqondakali.-https://www.markmallett.com/blog/2009/01/pope-benedict-and-the-two-columns/

Ngempela, uPapa Francis uyindoda, njengabandulelayo, ezinikele ngokuphelele ku Umthendeleko oNgcwele futhi Mary. Ngesikhathi seSinodi Yababhishobhi ngo-2005, wanikeza isithombe ngeSakramente elibusisiwe nangeNtombi Ezibusisiwe uMariya. Eqinisweni, ucaphuna ngisho nemibhalo eshiwo ku- Ukuphila Iphupho? ukuthi uJohn Paul II wayevamise ukuqondisa iSonto ngasezinsikeni ezimbili.

Abantu bethu abathembekile bakholelwa kuMthendeleko njengabantu abangabapristi… Abantu bethu abathembekile bayakholelwa
njengabantu abakudlayo eMary. Ziyabopha ndawonye uthando lwabo kuMthendeleko nokuthanda kwabo iNcasakazi, uMama noMama wethu. "Esikoleni sikaMariya" (URosarium Virginis Mariae, n. 1) Owesifazane onguMthendeleko, singaphinde sifunde izindatshana lapho uJohn Paul II abona khona uMama wethu njengowesifazane weSidlo, futhi simbone hhayi eyedwa kodwa “enenkampani” (Izenzo 1:14) yabantu bakaNkulunkulu.

Silandela lapha lowo mthetho wesiko lapho, ngokuhlukahluka okuhlukile, "okushiwoyo ngoMariya kuthiwa ngomphefumulo wawo wonke umKristu nalo lonke iSonto. ” (I-Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 57). Abantu bethu abathembekile baneqiniso “Isimo sokudla” sokubonga nokudumisa.

Ekhumbula uMariya, bayabonga ngokukhunjulwa nguye, futhi lesi sikhumbuzo sothando siyi-Eucharistic ngempela. Ngalokhu ngiyaphinda lokho uJohn Paul II akuqinisekisayo I-Ecclesia de Eucharistia inombolo 58: “ UMthendeleko unikezwe thina ukuze impilo yethu, njengoMariya, ikwazi ngibe iMagnificat ngokuphelele. ” —UKhadinali Jorge Mario Bergoglio (UPAPA UFRANCIS), www.catholiculture.org

UBUSO OBUTSHA BUKATHOLIKI

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngafunda ukuthi upapa wethu omusha akayona nje iHelmsman, kodwa ngempilo yakhe, isibani seqiniso nendlu yesibani esikweni lethu lokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo. Impilo yakhe yobulula nobumpofu "iwuphawu lokuphikisana" oluhlaba inkungu yokuhlubuka okusongela ukuba khona komhlaba. ^[1]qhathanisa Ngosuku luka-Eva

Leli khulu leminyaka lomele ubuqiniso… Umhlaba ulindele kithi ukuba lula kwempilo, umoya wokukhuleka, ukulalela, ukuthobeka, ukuzidela nokuzidela… Abantu balalela ngokuzithandela kofakazi kunothisha, futhi lapho abantu belalela othisha, kungenxa yokuthi bangofakazi.—I-POPE PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla, 22, 76, 41

Ngempela, lokhu akusona nje kuphela isibonakaliso sokuphikisana okwamanje, kodwa se ikusasa, njengoba sikhumbula amazwi kaBenedict XVI ayengaziwa ngaphambili acashunwe lapha cishe unyaka owedlule: ^[2]qhathanisa Ubunye Bamanga

ISonto lizoba ncane futhi kuzofanele liqale kabusha ngaphezulu noma kancane kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngeke esakwazi ukuhlala ezindlini eziningi azakhile ngokuchuma. Njengoba inani labalandeli bakhe lincipha… Uzolahlekelwa ngamalungelo akhe omphakathi amaningi… Njengomphakathi omncane, [iSonto] lizokwenza izimfuno ezinkulu kakhulu ekuthatheni isinyathelo kwamalungu alo ngamanye.

Kuzoba nzima eSontweni, ngoba inqubo yokufaka amakhristal nokucacisa izombiza amandla amakhulu. Kuyomenza ampofu futhi kumenze abe yiSonto labamnene… Inqubo izoba yinde futhi iyakhathaza njengoba kwakunjalo nomgwaqo kusukela ekuqhubekeni kwamanga ngosuku olwandulela i-French Revolution - lapho umbhishobhi engahle acatshangwe ukuthi uhlakaniphile uma ehlekisa ngezimfundiso futhi egcizelela nokuthi ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu abunakuqinisekiswa nakancane… Kepha lapho icala lokuhlungwa selidlulile, amandla amakhulu azogeleza esuka eSontweni elinomoya futhi elenziwe lula. Amadoda emhlabeni ohlelwe ngokuphelele azozithola enesizungu esingachazeki. Uma sebelahlekelwe ngokuphelele ukubona uNkulunkulu, bazokuzwa konke ukwethuka ngobumpofu babo. Ngemuva kwalokho bazothola umhlambi omncane wamakholwa njengento entsha ngokuphelele. Bazoyithola njengethemba elenzelwe bona, impendulo abebelokhu beyifuna ngasese.

Ngakho-ke kubonakala kuqinisekile kimi ukuthi iSonto libhekene nezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu. Inkinga yangempela ayikaze iqale. Kuzofanele sibheke ezinxushunxushwini ezisabekayo. Kepha ngiqinisekile ngokulinganayo ngalokho okuzosala ekugcineni: hhayi iSonto lenkolo yezepolitiki, eselivele lifile noGobel, kepha iSonto lokholo. Kungenzeka angabe esaba namandla amakhulu kwezenhlalo kuze kube sezingeni lapho ayekhona kuze kube muva nje; kepha uzothokozela ukuqhakaza okusha futhi abonakale njengekhaya lomuntu, lapho ezothola khona impilo nethemba ngale kokufa. —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukukholwa nekusasa, Ignatius Press, 2009

UMARIYA NOJOSEFA: IZIQINISEKISO ZOTHANDO

Izolo ebusuku, sikwazile ukufunda, okungenani, ukuthi upapa omusha ungowase-Argentina. Ngemuva kokuthunywa kwami lapha kwabomdabu, ngangena ethempelini eliseceleni elincane ngaguqa ngithandaza ngibonga phambi kweSakramente elibusisiwe. Ohleli emadolweni phambi kwami kwakuyikhophi kaFr. Incwadi kaStefano Gobbi Umnyakazo WabaPristi WaseMarian. Ngayiphakamisa ngathandaza, “Awu, Mama othandekayo, ngabe kukhona ongakusho mayelana nopapa omusha?”

Inombolo engu-567 yavela ekhanda lami, ngakho-ke ngaphendukela kuyo. Kwakuwumyalezo onikezwe uFr. UStefano ungene Argentina ngo-Mashi 19, uMkhosi kaSt. Joseph, usanta ongumvikeli weSonto (futhi njengoba kuvela, ukufakwa kukaPapa Francis I kuzokwenzeka ngoMashi 19, 2013 eMkhosini kaSt. Joseph.) UMary kuthiwa uyaqhubeka akhulume ngoSt Joseph ngokuthi UMvikeli noMvikeli we Church ezinsizini naseSiphepho ezilapha nezizayo.

Ngalokho, ngahlala esihlalweni sami futhi ngamangala ngokuhlangana kwabangcwele, uPapa waseLatin America, indawo yonke yeSonto, amandla onke kaNkulunkulu, kanye nesithembiso sikaJesu: “Ngizokwakha iBandla Lami.”Yebo, nguKrestu uqobo lwakhe owakhe ngesandla sakhe itshe lama-266 elizobekwa phezu kwesisekelo asakhele yena uqobo. "Peter wena uyidwala."

Kwangathi ukucabanga okuyingozi kanye nephutha kungaprofetha ^[3]qhathanisa Kungenzeka… noma cha? okudale ukwahlukana okuningi phakathi kwabanye abathembekile ekugcineni kubekwa eceleni, nokholo lubekwe luqine futhi kuJesu naseZwini laKhe — uKristu, umakhi ohlakaniphile, ongalokothi akhe esihlabathini. ^[4]isib. Mat 7:24

Encwadini ayibhalela amaNazaretha akhe aseKarmeli maqondana nokuhlaselwa komshado e-Argentina, amazwi kaPapa uFrancis ayisikhalo esicacile sempi kanye nesibani ezikhathini zethu. UNkulunkulu usinike umalusi weqiniso, bafowethu nodadewethu… Ungesabi!

Ukwenqatshwa okucacile komthetho kaNkulunkulu, okuqoshwe ezinhliziyweni zethu, kusengcupheni… Lapha, umona kaDeveli, okuyisono esangena ngawo emhlabeni, nawo ukhona, futhi ngobuqili uhlose ukucekela phansi isithombe sikaNkulunkulu: owesilisa nowesifazane , abamukela igunya lokukhulisa, ukwanda, nokunqoba umhlaba. Masingabi ngabangenalwazi: akuyona umzabalazo olula wezepolitiki; kuyinjongo [ebhubhisa] icebo likaNkulunkulu. Akuyona iphrojekthi yomthetho nje (lokhu kuyithuluzi nje), kodwa kunalokho “isinyathelo” sikayise wamanga ofisa ukudida nokukhohlisa abantwana bakaNkulunkulu.

UJesu usitshela ukuthi, ukuze asivikele kulommangaleli onamanga, uzosithumela uMoya Weqiniso… uMoya oNgcwele ongabeka ukukhanya kweQiniso phakathi kwamathunzi okuphutha; [siyamdinga] lo Mmeli ongasivikela emthakatheni wama-sophism amaningi… adida futhi akhohlise ngisho nabantu abanenhloso enhle.

Kungakho ngiphendukela kuwe ngibuze kuwe umthandazo nokuzidela, izikhali ezimbili ezingenakunqotshwa uSanta Thérèse avumile ukuthi unazo. Khala eNkosini ukuze ithumele uMoya wayo kumaSenator okufanele avote. Ukuthi bangakwenzi kushukunyiswa yiphutha noma ngezindaba ezithile, kepha kunalokho ngokwalokho okushiwo ngumthetho wemvelo nomthetho kaNkulunkulu. Bakhulekele, bekhulekela nemindeni yabo; ukuze iNkosi ibahambele, ibaqinise, ibaduduze. Asikhulekele ukuthi benze okuhle kakhulu…

… Masibheke ngakuSanta Joseph, kuMary, uMntwana, bese sicela ngentshiseko ukuthi bazosivikela. Masikhumbule lokho uNkulunkulu uqobo akutshela abantu bakhe ngesikhathi sosizi olukhulu: “le mpi akuyona eyenu, kodwa ngekaNkulunkulu”… Kwangathi uJesu angakubusisa, futhi sengathi iNtombi Ezibusisiwe ingakuvikela. —UKhadinali Jorge Mario Bergoglio, (UPAPA UFRANCIS), Juni 22, 2010
