Njengoba abaningi ababhalisile abasha beza ebhodini manje isonto ngalinye, kuphuma imibuzo emidala efana nale: Kungani uPapa engakhulumi ngezikhathi zokuphela? Impendulo izomangaza abaningi, iqinisekise abanye, futhi iphonsele abaningi inselelo enkulu. Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoSepthemba 21, 2010, ngibuyekeze lo mbhalo ngiwenze njengamanje.
I bathola izincwadi ngezikhathi ezithile bebuza ukuthi, "Uma kungenzeka ukuthi siphila" ezikhathini zokuphela, "pho kungani opapa bengamemezi lokhu besophahleni lwendlu?” Impendulo yami ithi: "Uma belalela, ngabe ukhona olalelayo?"
Iqiniso ukuthi, yonke le bhulogi, my ibhuku, mkami iwebhu--Okuhloswe ngakho ukulungiselela umfundi nombukeli ngezikhathi ezizayo nezizayo - kuncike kulokho uBaba oNgcwele besishumayele isikhathi esingaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka. Futhi bebelokhu bexwayisa njalo, kaningi nangaphezulu, ukuthi indlela yesintu iholela “ekubhujisweni” ngaphandle kokuthi siphinde samukele izindaba ezimnandi naLowo Omuhle: UJesu Kristu.
Akumina, kepha nguPaul VI owathi:
Kukhona ukungakhululeki okukhulu ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni naseSontweni, futhi okubuzwayo ukukholwa. Kuyenzeka manje ukuthi ngiphinde kimina ibinzana elingaqondakali likaJesu eVangelini likaSt. Luke: 'Lapho iNdodana yoMuntu ibuya, ingabe isazoluthola ukholo emhlabeni?'… Ngezinye izikhathi ngifunda isigaba seVangeli sokuphela izikhathi futhi ngifakazela ukuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, ezinye izimpawu zalesi siphelo ziyavela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.
Enanela amazwi kaSt. Paul ukuthi 'ukuhlubuka', ukuwa okukhulu okholweni kuzokwandulela uMphikukristu noma "indodana yokulahlwa" (2 Thes 2), uPaul VI wathi:
Umsila kasathane usebenza ekuhlakazekeni komhlaba wamaKhatholika. Ubumnyama bukaSathane bungene basabalala kulo lonke iSonto LamaKhatholika kuze kufike esiqongweni salo. Ukuhlubuka, ukulahleka kokholo, kusakazeka emhlabeni wonke kuya emazingeni aphakeme kakhulu eSontweni. —Inkulumo Yokugubha Iminyaka Engamashumi Ayisithupha Yezimangalo zikaFatima, October 13, 1977; kubika ephephandabeni lesiNtaliyane Corriere della Sera ekhasini 7, October 14, 1977; QAPHELA: nakuba lokhu kucashunwe ababhali abambalwa besikhathi samanje, okuhlanganisa nezazi zemfundiso yenkolo ezinolwazi nge-patrisitics, angikwazanga ukubuyisela umthombo walesi sitatimende, obekungaba ngesi-Italian noma ngesiLatini. Izingobo zomlando ze Corrieree della Sera ungasibonisi lesi siqephu.
Lokhu kuhlubuka sekuqale amakhulu eminyaka. Kodwa-ke bekulokhu kunjalo ngekhulu leminyaka elidlule noma lapho uBaba oNgcwele eseqale ukukukhomba ngokusobala ngokuthi "ukuhlubuka" izikhathi zokugcina. Ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, uPapa Leo XIII wathi encwadini yakhe yokubhala ngoMoya oNgcwele:
… Omelana neqiniso ngobubi futhi alifulathele, wona kakhulu kuMoya oNgcwele. Ezinsukwini zethu lesi sono sesivame kakhulu ukuthi lezo zikhathi ezimnyama zibonakale sezifikile ezabikezelwa nguSt. Paul, lapho abantu, bephuphuthekiswe ukwahlulelwa okulungile kukaNkulunkulu, kufanele bathathe amanga ngeqiniso, futhi bakholelwe "enkosini waleli zwe, ”ongumqambimanga noyise walo, njengomfundisi weqiniso:“ UNkulunkulu uzobathumela ukusebenza kwephutha, ukuze bakholwe amanga (2 Thes. Ii., 10). Ezikhathini zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni, banake imimoya yamanga nezimfundiso zodeveli ” (1 Thim. Iv., 1). -IDivinum Illud Munus,n. 10
UPapa Francis uchaza ukuhlubuka ngokuthi "ukuxoxisana" "nomoya wezwe":
… Izwe liyimpande yobubi futhi lingaholela ekubeni sishiye amasiko ethu futhi sixoxisane ngokuthembeka kwethu kuNkulunkulu othembekile njalo. Lokhu… kubizwa ngokuthi ukuhlubuka, oku… kuyindlela “yokuphinga” eyenzeka lapho sixoxisana ngomongo wobuntu bethu: ukwethembeka eNkosini. —UPapa uFrancis ovela ekhaya, IVatican Radio, Novemba 18, 2013
UFrancis, empeleni, ubengenamahloni okukhuluma okungenani kabili manje incwadi eyabhalwa eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule eyayibiza Nkosi Yomhlaba. Kuyincwadi ephawuleka ngokumangazayo mayelana nokuvuka kukaMphikukristu okufana kakhulu nezikhathi zethu. Yilokho mhlawumbe okugqugquzele uFrancis ezikhathini eziningana ukuthi axwayise ngokufanelekile “ngemibuso engabonakali” [1]isib.

Ekhuluma ngoMphikukristu, imibandela yokuvela kwakhe akuyona into yamanoveli nje. KwakunguPius X owaphakamisa ukuthi lo muntu ongenamthetho angaba semhlabeni ngisho manje:
Ngubani ongehluleki ukubona ukuthi umphakathi usesikhathini samanje, ngaphezu kwanoma yisiphi isizukulwane esedlule, uhlushwa yisifo esibi futhi esinezimpande ezijulile, esithuthuka nsuku zonke futhi sidla okungaphakathi kwaso, siyidonsela ekubhujisweni? Niyaqonda, Madoda aqondisayo, ukuthi siyini lesi sifo-ukuhlubuka okuvela kuNkulunkulu… Lapho konke lokhu kubhekwa kunesizathu esihle sokwesaba ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi lobu buchopho obukhulu bungaba njengokuphambuka, futhi mhlawumbe nokuqala kwalabo ububi obabekelwe uNkulunkulu izinsuku zokugcina; nokuthi kungenzeka kube khona sele ikhona emhlabeni “iNdodana yokubhujiswa” okhulunywa ngayo ngumphostoli emhlabeni. —I-POPE ST.

Ngokuqinisekile lezo zinsuku bekuyobonakala ngathi zifikile kithi uKristu Kristu iNkosi yethu abikezela ngazo: “Niyakuzwa ngezimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi, ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso" (Math 24: 6-7). —November 1, 1914; www.vatican.va
UPius XI uphinde wasebenzisa ukudlula kwesikhathi sokuphela kukaMathewu 24 ezikhathini zethu:
Ngalokho-ke, nangokuphikisana nentando yethu, umcabango uvuka emqondweni wokuthi manje lezo zinsuku ziyasondela iNkosi yethu eyaprofetha ngazo: “Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ububi buningi, uthando lwabaningi luyophola” (Math. 24:12). —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Miserentissimus Redemptor, Encyclical on Reparation to Sacred Heart, n. 17

Eminyakeni emibili ngaphambi kokuthatha isikhundla sobupapa, wachaza imingcele yale mpi enkulu phambi kwethu:
Manje sesibhekene nengxabano yokugcina phakathi kweSonto nabamelene nesonto, phakathi kweVangeli nephikisayo, phakathi kukaKristu nomphikukristu. Lokhu kungqubuzana kuphakathi kwezinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu; kuyicala okumele iSonto lonke, ikakhulukazi iSonto LasePoland, liluthathe. Kuyisivivinyo sesizwe sethu kanye neBandla hhayi kuphela, kepha ngandlela-thile ukuvivinywa kweminyaka engu-2,000 XNUMX yamasiko nempucuko yobuKrestu, nayo yonke imiphumela yayo eqondene nesithunzi somuntu, amalungelo abantu, amalungelo abantu namalungelo ezizwe. —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), e-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA ngomgubho weminyaka emibili wokusayinwa kweSimemezelo Sokuzimela; ezinye izingcaphuno zalesi siqephu zifaka phakathi amagama athi "uKristu nomphikukristu" njengoba ngenhla. UDeacon Keith Fournier, obehambele lo mbiko, ukubika njengenhla; isib. I-Catholic Online; Agasti 13, 1976
“I-anti-Church” ne- “anti-Gospel” kungenzeka zimane nje zibe 'amagama asetshenziswayo athi “anti-Christ,”' - ngakho-ke, ngokusobala, kusho isazi semfundiso yenkolo esidumile samaKatolika, uDkt. Peter Kreeft, enkulumweni abafundi bami abaya kuyo . Eqinisweni, uJohn Paul II waze wasikisela ukuthi kufanele ukuthi "izikhathi zokugcina" zibukeka kanjani: impi phakathi "kwesiko lempilo" kanye "nesiko lokufa":
Lo mzabalazo ufana nempi yokubhubhisa echazwe ku- [IsAm 11: 19-12: 1-6, 10 empini phakathi "kowesifazane owembethe ilanga" kanye "nodrako"]. Izimpi zokufa ezilwa nokuPhila: “isiko lokufa” lifuna ukuzibophezela esifisweni sethu sokuphila, futhi siphile ngokugcwele… Imikhakha emikhulu yomphakathi ididekile ngokuthi yini elungile nengalungile, futhi isemseni walabo amandla "okudala" umbono nokuwufaka kwabanye. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, eCherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993
Ngonyaka olandelayo, waphinde wakhipha lesi sithombe seBhayibheli:
… Isithombe, esiveza ngisho ezikhathini zethu, ikakhulukazi kuNyaka Womndeni. Lapho empeleni ngaphambi kokuba owesifazane aqoqele konke izinsongo ezibhekene nokuphila ukuthi izoletha umhlaba, kufanele siphendukele kowesifazane owembethe ilanga [uMama Obusisiwe]… -URegina Coeli, Ephreli 24h, 1994; i-vatican.ca
Ube esebiza iSonto ukuthi likhumbule umkhuleko owawubhekiswe kuSt. Michael the Archangel, owabhalwa ngo-1884 nguLeo XIII, okuthiwa wezwa ingxoxo engaphezu kwamandla emvelo lapho uSathane acela khona ikhulu leminyaka ukuhlola iSonto. [2]qhathanisa Aleteia
Yize namhlanje lo mthandazo ungasafundwa ekupheleni komgubho woMthendeleko, ngimema wonke umuntu ukuthi angakhohlwa, kodwa awufunde ukuze athole usizo empini yokulwa namandla obumnyama kanye nomoya walomhlaba. —Ibhid.
Ngiyabuza futhi, ngabe ukhona olalele? Ngabe ukhona okhathalelayo ukuthi owalandela uPetru uthini? Ngoba ungumalusi uKristu omiswe phezu kwezimvu zaKhe emhlabeni (Jn 21:17). UKristu ubengakhuluma ngaye uma ngabe ebezimisele ukukhuluma. Futhi uma upapa ekhuluma ngokwesikhundla sakhe njengomalusi nomfundisi, uJesu wayezophinda athi:
Onilalelayo uyangilalela nami. Lowo onilahlayo uyangilahla. (Luka 10:16)
Enkulumweni yakhe nama-pilgrim eJalimane, uPapa John Paul unikeze okungenzeka kube yisixwayiso sobupapa esicace bha futhi esiqondile maqondana nosizi oluzayo:
Kufanele sikulungele ukubhekana novivinyo olukhulu esikhathini esizayo esingekude kakhulu; izilingo ezizodinga ukuthi sikulungele ukunikela ngisho nangezimpilo zethu, kanye nesipho esiphelele sokuzinikela kuKristu nakuKristu. Ngemithandazo yakho neyami, kungenzeka ukunciphisa lolu sizi, kepha akusakwazi ukuluvimba, ngoba kungale ndlela kuphela lapho iSonto lingavuselelwa khona ngempumelelo. Ngempela, kukangaki kwenziwa ukuvuselelwa kweSonto ngegazi? Lesi sikhathi, futhi, ngeke kube ngenye indlela. Kumele siqine, kufanele sizilungiselele, kufanele sizinikele kuKristu nakuMama Wakhe, futhi kufanele sinake, sinake kakhulu, emthandazweni weRosari. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, waxoxisana namaKatolika eFulda, eJalimane, ngoNovemba 1980; www.ewtn.com
ISILILO SESILILO SEBENEDICT
Vuthelani icilongo eSiyoni, nihlabe umkhosi entabeni yami engcwele. Mabathuthumele bonke abakhileyo ezweni, ngokuba usuku lukaJehova luyeza. (Joweli 2: 1)
Ngokwencazelo yeBhayibheli, iZiyoni liwuphawu noma uhlobo lweBandla. UPapa Benedict wayekade engaguquguquki futhi ngokuzwakalayo ukushaya icilongo engqungqutheleni yalo isikhathi esithile, njengalapho esohambweni lwaseBrithani:
Akekho obheka ngokweqiniso emhlabeni wethu namuhla ongacabanga ukuthi amaKrestu angakwazi ukuqhubeka nebhizinisi njengenjwayelo, angayinaki inkinga enkulu yokholo eyehlele umphakathi wethu, noma amane nje athembele ukuthi ubungako bezindinganiso ezihanjiswe amakhulukhulu obuKristu qhubeka nokukhuthaza futhi ulolonge ikusasa lomphakathi wethu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eLondon, eNgilandi, ngoSepthemba 18, 2010; I-Zenit
Manje, angiqiniseki ukuthi kwenzekani lapho umKatolika ojwayelekile efunda isitatimende esinjalo. Ngabe siphenya ikhasi bese siqhubeka siphunga ikhofi lethu, noma sima isikhashana ukucabanga ngokujulile futhi siqu biza la magama avuse? Noma ingabe izinhliziyo zethu sezenziwe zaba buthakathaka kakhulu ngumoya waleyo nkathi, sathuliswa ngokulungiswa kwezepolitiki, noma mhlawumbe senziwa lukhuni yisono, ingcebo, nokunethezeka kosuku lwethu kangangokuthi isexwayiso esinjalo esibukhali sigqolozela imiphefumulo yethu njengomcibisholo ovela ensimbi?
Uqhubeke wathi:
… Ubudlelwano bokuqonda nobokuziphatha busongela ukonakalisa izisekelo zomphakathi wethu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, e-Ibid.
Asikhulumi lapha ngenkinga yaseBrithani noma ngodaba lwaseMelika noma lwasePoland, kepha sikhuluma nge global isisekelo. “Kuyicala lapho Konke Isonto kumele lithathe, ”kusho uJohn Paul II,“… isivivinyo seminyaka engama-2,000 XNUMX yesiko nempucuko yobuKrestu… namalungelo izizwe. "
Ngisho noPapa Benedict wabonakala eveza ukuthi kungenzeka kube khona umashiqela womhlaba lapho ethi kukhona umuntu okhulayo…
… Umbuso wobushiqela wobumbano olungabheki lutho njengolucacile, futhi olushiya njengesilinganiso sokugcina kuphela komuntu nezifiso zakhe. Ukuba nokholo olucacile, ngokwesivumelwano seSonto, kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi yi-basicism. Kodwa-ke, ukukholelwa ezintweni ezithile, okungukuthi, ukuzivumela uphonswe futhi 'ukhukhulwe yiyo yonke imimoya yemfundiso', kubonakala kuwukuphela kwesimo sengqondo esamukelekayo ezindinganisweni zanamuhla. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (uPapa BENEDICT XVI) ngaphambi komhlangano u-Homily, ngo-Ephreli 18, 2005
Ngokuhlobene nalokhu, uPapa Benedict uqhathanisa ngokuqondile iSambulo Ch. 12 ekuhlaselweni kweqiniso ezikhathini zethu:
Le mpi esizithola kuyo… [silwa] namandla abhubhisa umhlaba, kukhulunywa ngayo esahlukweni 12 seSambulo… Kuthiwa udrako uqondisa umfula omkhulu wamanzi kulowo wesifazane obalekayo, ukumshanela… ngicabanga ukuthi kulula ukuhumusha lokho okumelwe ngumfula: yila maqhuqhuva abusa wonke umuntu, futhi afuna ukuqeda ukholo lweBandla, olubukeka lungenandawo yokuma phambi kwamandla ale misinga eziphoqa njengeyona kuphela indlela yokucabanga, ukuphela kwendlela yokuphila. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, umhlangano wokuqala wesigungu esikhethekile eMiddle East, ngo-Okthoba 10, 2010
UJesu waxwayisa abaningi “Kuzakuvela omesiya bamanga nabaprofethi bamanga, futhi bazokwenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ezinkulu ukuze bakhohlise, uma kungenzeka, ngisho nabakhethiweyo.”(Math 24:24). Kuvelaphi ukuqonda kwezengqondo nokuziphatha kodwa abaprofethi bamanga — labo profesa baseyunivesithi, osopolitiki, ababhali, abakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, abakhiqizi baseHollywood, yebo, ngisho nabaholi besonto abawile abangasayitholi imithetho yemvelo engaguquki noNkulunkulu? Futhi bangobani labo mesiya bamanga ngaphandle kwalabo abangazinaki izimemezelo zoMsindisi futhi babe nguMsindisi wabo, umthetho kubo?
Ekhuluma ngesimo esisabalele umhlaba wonke, uPapa Benedict ubhalele ababhishobhi bomhlaba incwadi ecacile nengangabazeki:
Ezinsukwini zethu, lapho ezindaweni ezinkulu zomhlaba ukholo lusengozini yokufa njengelangabi elingasenawo uphethiloli, okubaluleke kakhulu ukwenza uNkulunkulu abekhona kulo mhlaba nokukhombisa abesilisa nabesifazane indlela eya kuNkulunkulu… Inkinga yangempela kulo mzuzu womlando wethu ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyanyamalala emkhathizwe womuntu, futhi, ngokufiphala kokukhanya okuvela kuNkulunkulu, isintu silahlekelwa ukuthwala kwaso, nemiphumela ebonakala ngokucekelayo. -Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa Benedict XVI kubo Bonke Ababhishobhi Bomhlaba, Mashi 10, 2009; I-Catholic Online
Imiphumela, njengokukhipha isisu, ukubulawa kwesiguli, kanye nokuchazwa kabusha komshado, kusho owandulelayo, kudinga ukuthi kubizwe kukhaphethi ngalokho okuyikho: ukubulala, ukungabi nabulungisa, nokungahloniphi.
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). —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae “IVangeli Lokuphila”,n. 58
UBenedict wenanela ukuthi "maye" ngemuva nje kokuba ngupapa:
Usongo lokwahlulelwa luyasithinta nathi, iSonto eYurophu, eYurophu kanye naseNtshonalanga iyonke… iNkosi nayo iyakhala ezindlebeni zethu… “Uma ungaphenduki ngizoza kuwe ngisuse uthi lwakho lwesibani endaweni yalo.” Ukukhanya kungasuswa kithina futhi senza kahle ukuvumela lesi sixwayiso sizwakale ngokuzimisela okukhulu ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngenkathi sikhala eNkosini: “Sisize siphenduke!” —UPapa uBenedict XVI, Ukuvula i-Homily, ISinodi Yababhishobhi, Okthoba 2, 2005, eRoma.
Siyini lesi sahlulelo? Ingabe ukuduma okuvela ezulwini? Cha, "imiphumela ebhubhisayo" yilokho umhlaba oyozehlisela kukho ngokunganaki onembeza bethu, ukungalaleli izwi likaNkulunkulu, nokwakha umhlaba omusha esihlabathini esigudlukayo sokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo kanye nokukholelwa ekubeni yizithelo isiko lokufa-Izithelo ezimbalwa ezisalindelwe.
Namuhla ithemba lokuthi umhlaba ungashiswa ube ngumlotha ngolwandle lomlilo alisabonakali njengephupho elimsulwa: umuntu uqobo, ngezinto azisungulile, ukhande inkemba evuthayo [yengelosi yezobulungiswa eyavela eFatima]. —UKhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger, (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Umlayezo weFatima, ukusuka Iwebhusayithi yaseVatican
Ama-Benedict zero aqhubeke ubuchwepheshe, kusuka kubuchwepheshe bokuzala nokuzama kuya kwezempi nakwezemvelo:
Uma inqubekelaphambili yezobuchwepheshe ingahambisani nenqubekela phambili ehambisanayo ekwakheni isimilo somuntu, ekukhuleni kwangaphakathi komuntu (bheka u-Efe 3:16; 2 Kor 4:16), lapho-ke akuyona intuthuko nhlobo, kepha isongela umuntu nezwe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Incwadi Encyclical, Isikhulumi uSalvi,n. 22
Noma ngubani ofuna ukuqeda uthando ulungiselela ukuqeda umuntu kanjalo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Incwadi Encyclical, Deus Caritas Est (uNkulunkulu Uluthando), n. 28b
Lezi izexwayiso ezingagunci ezithola indawo yazo kumkhuba “wokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke” kanye nalokho uBenedict akubize ngokuthi “ngumbutho womhlaba wonke” osongela inkululeko.
… Ngaphandle kokuqondiswa kwesisa senhliziyo ngeqiniso, lo mbuso womhlaba wonke ungadala umonakalo ongakaze ubonwe futhi udale ukwahlukana okusha emndenini wesintu…… isintu sinezingozi ezintsha zokugqilazwa nokukhohliswa. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, ICaritas eVeritate, hhayi. 33
Ukuxhumana neSambulo 13 kusobala. Ngoba isilo esivelayo naso sifuna ukubusa nokugqilaza umhlaba. Ngaleyo ndlela, uPapa Benedict wayemane enanela ukwesaba kwalabo ababengaphambi kwakhe ababakhomba ngqo labo ababebonakala beqhuba lesi silo phambili:
Ngalesi sikhathi, nokho, abahlanganyeli bobubi babonakala behlanganisa ndawonye, futhi bezabalaza nge-vehemence ebumbene, eholwa noma isizwa yileyo nhlangano ehlelwe ngokuqinile futhi esabalele ebizwa ngokuthi yiFreemasons. Akasenzi mfihlo yezinhloso zabo, manje bavukela uNkulunkulu uqobo uqobo ngesibindi… okuyinhloso yabo yokugcina baziphoqelela ukubukwa — okungukuthi, ukubhujiswa kwaloyo lonke uhlelo lwenkolo nolwezepolitiki lomhlaba olunemfundiso yobuKristu kukhiqizwe, kanye nokufakwa esikhundleni sombuso omusha wezinto ngokuya ngemibono yabo, okuyizisekelo kanye nemithetho kuzoqhamuka kuzo kususelwa emvelweni kuphela. —UPOPE LEO XIII, I-Humanum Genus, Encyclical on Freemasonry, n. 10, Apri 20, 1884
Ekhombisa ukuthi lokhu 'kugumbuqelwa' kwezizwe kwakusekude kakhulu, uPapa Benedict waqhathanisa izikhathi zethu nokuwa koMbuso WaseRoma ebona ukuthi ububi baba kanjani engalawulwa lapho izisekelo zokuziphatha zibhidlikile — okuyiyona njongo yokuqala yalaba eshiwo ngenhla izinhlangano eziyimfihlo.
Ukwahlukaniswa kwemigomo esemqoka yomthetho kanye nesimo sokuziphatha esiyisisekelo esasisekela kubo kwawavula amadamu lawo kuze kube yileso sikhathi ayevikele ukuhlalisana ngokuthula phakathi kwabantu. Ilanga lalishona phezu komhlaba wonke. Izinhlekelele zemvelo ezenzeka njalo zandisa lo muzwa wokungazethembi. Awekho amandla abonakalayo angavimba lokhu kwehla. Okuphikelela kakhulu-ke kwakuwukuncenga amandla kaNkulunkulu: ukunxusa ukuthi eze eze avikele abantu bakhe kuzo zonke lezi zinsongo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kumkhosi WaseRoma, ngoDisemba 20, 2010
Impela, wayenanela lokho ayekushilo ngenkathi esenguKhadinali nje, ukuthi isimilo esiqinile sasisongela ikusasa lomhlaba ongeke usebenze ngokunganaki okuphelele komthetho wemvelo wokuziphatha.
Kuphela uma kunokuvumelana okunjalo ngezinto ezibalulekile lapho umthethosisekelo nokusebenza komthetho. Lokhu kuvumelana okuyisisekelo okuvela efeni lobuKristu kusengcupheni… Empeleni, lokhu kwenza isizathu singaboni ukuthi yini ebalulekile. Ukumelana nalokhu kusithwa kwesizathu nokugcina amandla aso okubona okubalulekile, ukubona uNkulunkulu nomuntu, ukubona okuhle nokuyiqiniso, intshisekelo evamile okumele ihlanganise bonke abantu benentando enhle. Ikusasa lomhlaba lisengozini. —Ibhid.
Ebuyela futhi kuPapa Francis, uthathe lesi sinyathelo ngokuqhubekayo ebiza amandla okwenza ukuphathwa kwezomnotho, izizwe nabantu njengonkulunkulu omusha.
Ubushiqela obusha buyazalwa, abubonakali futhi buvame ukubonakala, obubeka unilaterally futhi ngokungaphezi ukubeka imithetho nezimiso zayo… Kulesistimu, ethambekele shwabadela yonke into emi endleleni yenzuzo eyengeziwe, noma yini entekenteke, njengemvelo, ayikwazi ukuzivikela ngaphambi kwezintshisekelo ze- a senziwe emakethe, okuba ukuphela komthetho. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 56
Ngempela, kusAmbulo 13 sifunda ukuthi isilo esivelayo, leli gunya lezomnotho nezepolitiki lomhlaba wonke, liphoqa wonke umuntu ukuthi asikhonze futhi "enze ukuba labo abangayikukhonza umfanekiso wesilo babulawe." [3]isib. IsAm 13:15 Izindlela zokulawula “wuphawu” okumele wonke umuntu abe nalo ukuze abambe iqhaza kulo mhlaba omusha. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukuphawula lokho uPapa Benedict akusho njengoKhadinali:
I-Apocalypse ikhuluma ngomphikisi kaNkulunkulu, isilo. Lesi silwane asinalo igama, kodwa inombolo. [Ekusabekeni kwamakamu okuhlushwa], bakhansela ubuso nomlando, baguqula umuntu abe yinombolo, bamehlisa waba yingcosana emshinini omkhulu. Umuntu akawona nje umsebenzi. Ezinsukwini zethu, akufanele sikhohlwe ukuthi bafanekisela ikusasa lomhlaba obeka engcupheni yokwamukela ukwakheka okufanayo kwamakamu okuhlushwa, uma umthetho womhlaba wonke womshini wamukelwa. Imishini eyakhiwe ibeka umthetho ofanayo. Ngokwalo mqondo, umuntu kufanele ahunyushwe ngu- a ikhompyutha futhi lokhu kungenzeka kuphela uma kuhunyushelwa ezinombolweni. Isilo siyinombolo futhi siguquka sibe ngamanani. Kodwa-ke, uNkulunkulu unegama futhi ubiza ngamagama. Ungumuntu futhi ubheka umuntu. —UKhadinali Ratzinger, (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI) uPalermo, Mashi 15, 2000 (omalukeke bangeziwe)
Njengokungathi ubuyela kulomcabango, uPapa Benedict wathi:
Sicabanga ngamandla amakhulu osuku lwanamuhla, wezintshisekelo zezimali ezingaziwa eziguqula amadoda abe yizigqila, okungezona izinto zabantu, kepha amandla angaziwa asetshenziswa amadoda, amadoda ahlushwa ngawo futhi abulawe nawo. Bona zingamandla okubhubhisa, amandla asongela umhlaba. —BENEDICT XVI, Ukucabanga ngemuva kokufundwa kwehhovisi leHora Lesithathu, iVatican City, ngo-Okthoba 11,
2010
ulimi
Ukuqedwa kothando… komuntu… kukaNkulunkulu. Singahluleka kanjani ukuzwa ukuthi lezi akuzona izikhathi ezejwayelekile? Mhlawumbe inkinga lapha ingeyolimi. AmaKhatholika abekade ethanda ukukhuluma ngalezi “zikhathi zokuphela” ngenxa yokwesaba ukuhlekwa usulu kangangokuthi sishiye ingxoxo cishe ngokuphelele kumahlelo abhubhisayo amemezela ukuthi ukuphela komhlaba sekusondele, eHollywood nasezibukweni zabo zokuphelelwa yithemba, noma kwabanye okuthi, ngaphandle kokukhanya kweNdabuko Engcwele, baphakamise ukutolikwa okungabazekayo kwemiBhalo okubandakanya izimo ezinjengokuthi “ayobe."
Ukungabazeki okwande kakhulu kwengqondo yabacabangi abaningi abangamaKatolika ukuthi bangene ekuhlolweni okunzulu kwezinto ezingathandeki zokuphila kwanamuhla, ngiyakholelwa, kuyingxenye yenkinga kakhulu abazama ukuyigwema. Uma ukucabanga kwe-apocalyptic kushiywe kakhulu kulabo abaye benzelwa amandla noma abaye bangenelwa ekuqinisekisweni kovalo lwe-cosmic, khona-ke umphakathi wamaKristu, wonke umphakathi wesintu, ubampofu kakhulu. Futhi lokho kungalinganiswa ngokuya kwemiphefumulo yabantu elahlekile. -Author, Michael D. O'Brien, Ingabe Siphila Ezikhathini Ze-Apocalyptic?
Eqinisweni, opapa babe bengikhuluma — cha, ememeza- maqondana nezikhathi esiphila kuzo, noma kunjalo, sikhothama ngezikhathi ezithile ngamagama ahlukile (noma ukusetshenziswa kwamagama 'ukuhlubuka', 'indodana yolahleko,' kanye 'nezimpawu zokuphela' akucaci nakancane.) amaKristu angamavangeli avame ukusebenzisa igama elithi “izikhathi zokuphela” ngokuvamile agxile “ekusindisweni” ngaphambi “kokuhlwithwa.” Kepha oFata abaNgcwele, badonsela kuyo yonke idiphozi yokholo, ngenkathi bebiza imiphefumulo ibe ubuhlobo bomuntu noJesu, bebelokhu behlose ngqo ezisekelweni zezepolitiki nezefilosofi ezilulaza ukubaluleka nesithunzi somuntu womuntu, ubunkulunkulu bukaKristu, kanye nobukhona boMdali. Ngenkathi bebiza umphefumulo ngamunye ekuhlanganyeleni noKristu, baphakamise nezwi labo ukuze kuzuze bonke ngokuqaphela ukuthi imiphefumulo ngawodwana kanye neqembu lonke sekufike ezingeni eliyingozi. Futhi njengoba singazi "usuku noma ihora," oFata abaNgcwele babe nokuhlakanipha okukhulu ukugwema ukumemezela ukuthi lesi sizukulwane noma yiso esizobhekana nezinsuku zokugcina zalesi sikhathi.
Ngabe sesiseduze nokuphela? Lokhu ngeke sazi. Kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi sizibambe sikulungele, kepha konke kungahlala isikhathi eside kakhulu okwamanje. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.
IMPENDULO YETHU
Asisekho isikhathi sokubamba iqhaza kulabo abaphakamisa ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwezikhathi zethu ngokwalokho okusanda kushiwo, noma izimpawu ezingokomBhalo ezichaza ukuphela konyaka, ukwesaba okukhulu, ukwenziwa ngaphambi komsebenzi okungenampilo, noma wethusa kakhulu. Ukungabanaki labopapa futhi udlulise izixwayiso ezinzulu kanjalo kuwubudedengu ngokomoya futhi kuyingozi. Imiphefumulo isengozini lapha. Imiphefumulo isengozini! Impendulo yethu akufanele ibe ngeyokuzivikela, kodwa ububele. Iqiniso liyacinywa emhlabeni, iqiniso elizokhulula imiphefumulo. Iyathuliswa, ihlanekezelwe, futhi iguqulwe. Izindleko zalokhu ngu imiphefumulo.
Kodwa ngithini? Ukusho ngisho nokuthi “Isihogo” namuhla kubanga ukunikina ikhanda phakathi kwamaKatolika aqonde ngokwezepolitiki. Ngakho-ke ngiyabuza, senzani? Kungani sizihlupha ukuphakamisa iqiniso, ukuya eMiseni lethu lamasonto onke, nokukhulisa izingane zethu njengamaKatolika? Uma wonke umuntu egcina ezulwini, kungani sizikhathaza ngokufeza izinkanuko zethu, ukuthambisa inyama yethu, nobumnandi obulinganiselayo? Kungani opapa beqa umhlaba, bephonsela inselelo ohulumeni, futhi bexwayisa abathembekile ngolimi oluqine kangaka? [4]qhathanisa Isihogo esangempela
Impendulo iwukuthi imiphefumulo. Ukuthi njengoba ngibhala, abanye bangena kulowo mlilo ongunaphakade nosizi ukuhlukaniswa noNkulunkulu, nothando, ukukhanya, ukuthula nethemba, kuze kube phakade. Uma lokhu kungasiphazamisi, uma kungasishukumisi esenzweni sozwela ingasaphathwa eyokusinyakazisa esonweni sethu, kusho ukuthi njengamaKristu, ikhampasi yethu yangaphakathi isihambe ngendlela ebabazekayo. Ngiphinda ngizwe ngamandla amakhulu amazwi kaJesu: [5]qhathanisa Uthando Lokuqala Lulahlekile
… Ulahlekelwe uthando owawunalo ekuqaleni. Qaphela ukuthi uwe kude kangakanani. Phenduka, wenze imisebenzi owawenza ekuqaleni. Uma kungenjalo, ngizoza kuwe ngisuse uthi lwakho lwesibani endaweni yalo, ngaphandle kokuthi uphenduke. (IsAm 2: 2-5)
Phakathi kwamaKatolika ngubani kukhona ngokwazi izikhathi esiphila kuzona, kunezingxoxo eziningi ngezindawo zokufaka amanzi, ukudla, nokuphila ngegridi. Yiba usizo, kepha yenza imiphefumulo iphrojekthi yakho, yenza imiphefumulo ibe ukukhala kwakho kwempi!
Lowo ofuna ukonga impilo yakhe uyolahlekelwa yiyo; kepha olahlekelwa ngukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami uyakukuthola. (Luka 17:33, Math 10:39)
Kumele sibeke izinto eziseqhulwini emuva endaweni yazo: ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yethu, umphefumulo, namandla kanye nomakhelwane njengoba sizithanda thina. Lokho kukhombisa ukukhathazeka okujulile futhi okuyinhloko ekusindisweni komakhelwane wethu.
[ISonto] likhona ukuze kushunyayelwe ivangeli… —I-POPE PAUL VI, Evangelii nuntiandi,n. 24
Futhi ukufakaza ngoJesu kumakhelwane wethu, ukukhuluma iqiniso namuhla kuzodinga izindleko, njengoba uBenedict asikhumbuza futhi eBrithani:
Esikhathini sethu, intengo ezokhokhelwa ukwethembeka eVangelini ayisaphanyekwa, idonselwe futhi ihlukaniswe kathathu kepha imvamisa ifaka ukuxoshwa ezandleni, ukuhlekwa usulu noma ukwenziwa parodi. Noma kunjalo, iSonto alikwazi ukuhoxa emsebenzini wokumemezela uKristu neVangeli lakhe njengeqiniso elisindisayo, umthombo wenjabulo yethu enkulu njengabantu ngabanye futhi njengesisekelo somphakathi onobulungiswa nobuntu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eLondon, eNgilandi, ngoSepthemba 18, 2010; I-Zenit
Opapa bamemeza emagumbini amane omhlaba bethi izisekelo ziyaqhaqhazela kanti izakhiwo zakudala sezizowa; ukuthi sisemngceleni wokuphela kwenkathi yethu — nasekuqaleni kwenkathi entsha, inkathi entsha. [6]qhathanisa Oopapa, kanye ne-Dawning Era Impendulo yethu uqobo akumele ibe mifushane kunalokho iNkosi yethu uqobo ekucela: ukuthatha isiphambano sethu, silahle impahla yethu, futhi simlandele. Umhlaba awulona ikhaya lethu; umbuso esiwufunayo akusiyona eyethu kepha ngeyakhe. Ukuletha imiphefumulo eminingi kakhulu kithi njengoba singenza umsebenzi wethu, ngomusa waKhe, ngokwecebo laKhe, ovela manje phambi kwamehlo ethu kulezi, izikhathi zokugcina.
Zilungiselele ukubeka impilo yakho kulayini ukuze ukhanyisele umhlaba ngeqiniso likaKristu; ukuphendula ngothando enzondweni kanye nasekunganaki impilo; ukumemezela ithemba likaKristu ovukile kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Umlayezo oya kubantu abasha be-World, Usuku Lomhlaba Lwentsha, 2008
