IN a ichangopfuura redhiyo nhepfenyuro, Murevereri anozivikanwa wechiKaturike, Patrick Madrid, akapindura mubvunzo wemuteereri pa Countdown to the Kingdom. Pawebsite yeRedential Radio, inopfupikiswa:

Patrick anopindura email yaSherry yekunetsekana kwemhuri yake iri kuita mhirizhonga nekuda kwewebsite yekutya "kuverenga pasi kuhumambo". Patrick anoti usaite hanya nazvo woisa hupenyu hwako pana Kristu. -aestradio.com

Pakutanga kwe nhepfenyuro, Patrick anoti anowanzo sarudza kuregera kutaura pachena kune rimwe hushumiri. Ini ndinonzwawo saizvozvo. Kana tichitarisa zvese zviri kuitika muChechi, kusarudzika kwevakatendeka, kupesana kukuru kuri kuvhiringa kubatana kwavo uye nyika ichikurumidza kuparadza rusununguko rwavo, ndinofunga uchapupu hwedu hwakabatana hwakakosha kupfuura nakare kose. Tine vavengi vakakwana. Kunyange zvakadaro, Patrick anosarudza kuti akagashira tsamba dzakakwana kuti avapindure pachena. Kuyenzerana.

Pakutanga kwechiratidziro, Patrick anoti anondiziva pachangu. Iye anoenderera mberi achitsanangura manzwiro aanonzwa kubva kuvanhu vanoverengeka avo vari "kuvhiringidzika" nekuda kwezvimwe zvemukati zveCountdown to the Kingdom, nekudaro anokurudzira kuti: "Ini ndaizozvidzivirira." Izvo zvikonzero zvaanotaura pamusoro pemaminetsi gumi anotevera ndezvekuti vanoona pane ino webhusaiti havana "kutenderwa" kuzivo yake uye kuti "zvine mukana kwazvo" kuti vaoni vacho "pamwe havasi kuona chero chinhu kupfuura kwavo kufunga." Anochema kuti vamwe vanhu sezviri pachena "vanonamira pazwi rega rega" pane ino webhusaiti, uye kuti vamwe vevaoni vanga vachitaura zvinhu izvi kwe "makore gumi nemashanu kana makumi maviri [uye] hazvisati zvaitika." Patrick anosheedza zvese izvi: "magumo-nguva mania" izvo "hazvisi kuzokuitira zvakanaka" uye kuti haatende "zviri kuburitswa pamawebhusaiti senge ichokwadi." Anopedzisa nekufungidzira: "Ko dai zvese izvo zvaiva zvechokwadi?" Chii chaunofanira kuita? Mhinduro yake: Ida vamwe, namata, gamuchira sakaramende, upe zvipo, nezvimwewo uye kana ukaita zvese izvo zvinhu, "hazvina basa kuti Anopesana naKristo ari kuvhura hofisi pasi penzira kubva kwauri." Ipapo Patrick anoti "kudya kwakatsiga kwedambudziko nekusuwa uye kutya" kuri kukonzera vamwe vanhu "kukuvara zvakanyanya ... uye kutya nekugumbuka zvekuti vari kurasikirwa nekubata kwavo pane zvavanofanira kunge vachiita ... kwandiri zvinonzwika senge zviri mubhuku rekutamba rewakaipa. ” 

Sekutaura kwake kwekupedzisira, Patrick anotsigira izvo zvino zviri zvakajairika chiCatholic cliché papasi: kuti munhu wese anofunga zvavo inguva inguva dzekupedzisira uye kuti munhu anofanirwa kungorarama hupenyu hwake sekunge ari kufa husiku huno - uye opa neiyi yese "nguva yekupedzisira mania." 

Mhinduro

Chokwadi, ndinoziva Patrick. Mhuri yangu neni takagara pamba pake tichiri kuUS konzati yekushanya makore mazhinji apfuura. Kwakave kushanya kunoshamisa uye ndinoramba ndichifarira vese Patrick nehushumiri hwake hunotyisa.

Anoti haayeuke achimbotaura neni kubvira. Chaizvoizvo, ndataura kashoma parunhare naye pamusoro pemakore, uye imwe yenguva idzi yaive yekubvunza kana aizoongorora bhuku rangu Kutarisana kwekupedzisira. Akabvuma. Uye kusvikira nhasi, pabutiro rekumashure, kutsigirwa kwaPatrick:

Mumazuva ano enyonganyonga neunyengeri, chiyeuchidzo chaKristu chekutarisa chinotaura zvine simba mumoyo yeavo vanomuda… Iri bhuku idzva rakakosha rakanyorwa naMark Mallett rinogona kukubatsira kuti utarise nekunamata zvakanyanyisa zvinoitika sekusagadzikana kwezvaiitika. Ichi chiyeuchidzo chine simba chekuti, kunyangwe zviine rima uye zvinhu zvakaoma zvakadii, "Ari mukati mako mukuru kune uyo ari munyika." -Patrick Madrid, munyori we Tsvaga uye Kununura uye Papa Ngano

Chikonzero ini chandinongedzera ichi ndechekuti hwaro hwese hweKubverengera kuHumambo, maererano neyedu Nemakore, dzidziso yebhaibheri, nekuzarurirwa kwechiporofita, zvinovakirwa pane zvakanyorwa mubhuku iro, iro rakapuwa gore rapfuura Nihil Obstat. Uye iwo Nguva yenguva - inova nhevedzano, kwete seti yemisi kana "kubhabhatidza kufembera" - haisi yangu asi yakavakirwa paMadzibaba Ekutanga eChechi uye nematsananguriro avakaita Bhuku raZvakazarurwa uye kuverenga kwakajeka kwaSt. Mashoko aPatrick pachake anoratidza kuti anonzwisisa kuti tiri kurarama munguva dzinoshamisa - "mazuva enyonganyonga nekunyengera," sekutaura kwake. Zano rake, kunyangwe kuseri kwebhuku rangu, harisi rekuti "uridzivise" asi "kutarisa nekunamata" se "zviitiko zvisina kugadzikana zvichiitika… kunyangwe zviine rima uye zvakaoma zvinhu." 

Pandakaburitsa mazwi avo, handina kunzwa kuti Patrick aitya-kuita monita kana kuita hyperbole. Mashoko ake, kutaura zvazviri, airatidzira zana ramapapa vanga vachitaura zvakafanana. Chokwadi ndechekuti isu tiri kurarama, kwete chete munguva dzinoshamisa, asi maererano nevateveri vaPeter, mune izvo zvinoita se "nguva yekupedzisira" - kwete "kuguma kwenyika" - sekuratidzira kwaPatrick muchiratidzo chake.

Zvino, kana izvi zvichishatirisa vamwe vanhu kusvika pakurasikirwa neyakaenzana, saka ndinoshuvira kudzokorora rairo yaPatrick: rega kuverenga izvozvi uye "zvinzvenge." Zvisinei, tichifunga kuti Ishe Wedu akataura kuvaApostora izvozvo “Ani nani unokuteererai unondinzwa ini,” ^[1]Ruka 10: 16 zvino zvinoita kwandiri kuti tinofanira musatya kunzwa Kristu achitaura kuburikidza nevafudzi vake, zvisinei nekukomba kwemashoko avo. 

Pane kusagadzikana kukuru panguva ino munyika nemuChechi, uye icho chiri mubvunzo kutenda. Zvinoitika izvozvi kuti ini ndinodzokorora kwandiri chirevo chisina kujeka chaJesu muEvhangeri yaSt. Luke: 'Mwanakomana wemunhu paanodzoka, acharamba achiwana rutendo panyika here?'… Dzimwe nguva ndinoverenga ndima yeEvangeri yekuguma times uye ini ndinopupura kuti, panguva ino, zvimwe zviratidzo zvemugumo izvi zviri kubuda. —PAPA PAURO VI, Chakavanzika Paul VI, Jean Guitton, p. 152-153, Revhitiko (7), p. ix.

Zvirokwazvo mazuva iwayo aizoita kunge akauya pamusoro pedu akafanotaurwa naIshe wedu kuti: “Muchanzwa zvehondo nerunyerekupe rwehondo, nekuti rudzi ruchamukira rudzi, neushe huchamukira ushe" (Mat. 24: 6-7). —BENEDICT XV, Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum:November 1, 1914

Uye nekudaro, kunyangwe isu tisingade, pfungwa inomuka mupfungwa kuti ikozvino mazuva iwayo aswedera izvo zvakaporofitwa naIshe Wedu: “Uye nekuda kwekuti zvakaipa zvawanda, rudo rwevazhinji rwuchatonhora” (Mat. 24:12). —Papa PIUS XI, Miserentissimus Redemptor, Encyclical pamusoro peKudzorera kuMwoyo Unoyera, n. 17 

Pakuvamba sa1903, tichifunga nezve "zviratidzo zvenguva," Pope St. Pius X akataura kuti Anopesana naKristu aigona watova panyika. 

Ndiani angatadze kuona kuti nzanga iriko panguva ino, kupfuura zera ripi zvaro rapfuura, iri kutambura nedenda rinotyisa uye rakadzika midzi… kutsauka kubva kuna Mwari… Kana zvese izvi zvikafungidzirwa pane chikonzero chakanaka chekutya kuti kukanganisa kukuru uku ive sekufungidzira, uye pamwe kutanga kweizvozvo zvakaipa zvakachengeterwa mazuva ekupedzisira; uye kuti kuve nekuvepo munyika "Mwanakomana wekuparadzwa" uyo Mupostori waanotaura nezvake. —PAPA ST. PIUS X, E Supremi, Encyclical Pamusoro pekudzoreredzwa kwezvinhu zvese munaKristu, n. 3, 5; Gumiguru 4, 1903

Yambiro iyi yakadzvanywa naasati ari pasi paJohn Paul II nguva pfupi asati amutswa kuKuona kwaPeter:

Parizvino tatarisana nekukonana kwekupedzisira pakati peChechi neanopesana nekereke, pakati peEvhangeri neanopesana nevhangeri, pakati paKristu naantikristu. Uku kusangana kuri mukati mezvirongwa zvehurongwa hwaMwari; imuedzo uyo Chechi yose, uye Chechi yePoland kunyanya, inofanira kutora. Iko kuyedzwa kwete chete nyika yedu neChechi, asi neimwe nzira kuyedzwa makore zviuru zviviri zvetsika uye budiriro yechiKristu, nezvose zvazvinokanganisa chiremerera chevanhu, kodzero dzevanhu, kodzero dzevanhu uye kodzero dzenyika. —Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), kuEucharistic Congress, Philadelphia, PA kumhemberero dzemakore maviri ekusainwa kweDeclaration of Independence; Mamwe mazwi endima iyi anosanganisira mazwi "Kristu naantikristu" sezviri pamusoro. Mudhikoni Keith Fournier, uyo aripo, anozvitaura sezviri pamusoro; cf. Catholic Online; Nyamavhuvhu 13, 1976

Achishandisa Bhuku raZvakazarurwa (2: 5), Papa Benedict XVI akayambira kuti:

Kutyisidzirwa kwekutongwa kunotinetsawo isu, Chechi muEurope, Europe neWest West… Ishe varikuchemera nzeve dzedu… "Ukasatendeuka ndichauya kwauri ndobvisa chigadziko chako chemarambi panzvimbo yacho." Chiedza chinogona zvakare kubviswa kubva kwatiri uye tinoita zvakanaka kurega yambiro iyi ichirira nekukomba kwayo kuzere mumoyo medu, uku tichichema kuna Ishe: "Tibatsirei kuti titendeuke!" —Papa Benedict XVI, Kuvhura Homily, Sinodi yeMabhishopi, Gumiguru 2, 2005, Roma

Zvekare, ichi chingori chienzaniso chemafungiro ezvechiitiko izvi anokwikwidza "kushomeka" kwechinhu chipi zvacho chaunoverenga pane ino webhusaiti (ona Sei Vasiri Mapapa Kushevedzera?). Asi aive St. John Henry Newman uyo anopindura zvakananga kuramba kwaPatrick kufungidzira wenguva yedu:

Ndinoziva kuti nguva dzese dzine njodzi, uye kuti nguva dzese dzakakomba uye dzakashushikana pfungwa, dziri kurarama kukudzwa kwaMwari nezvinodiwa nevanhu, zvinokodzera kufunga kuti hapana nguva dzine njodzi sedzadzo. Panguva dzose muvengi we mweya inorwisa nekutsamwa kweChechi inova Amai vavo vechokwadi, uye zvotyisidzira nekuvhundutsa kana atadza kuita zvakaipa. Uye nguva dzese dzine miedzo yavo yakasarudzika iyo vamwe vasina… Hapana mubvunzo, asi ndichiri kubvuma izvi, zvakadaro ndinofunga… redu rine rima rakasiyana nerakafanana nerakaitika kare. Njodzi yakakosha yenguva iri pamberi pedu kupararira kwedambudziko rekusatendeka, iro Vaapositori naIshe wedu Pachezvine vakafanotaura sedambudziko rakaipisisa renguva dzekupedzisira dzeChechi. Uye kanenge mumvuri, mufananidzo chaiwo wenguva dzekupedzisira uri kuuya pamusoro penyika. —St. John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890 AD), mharidzo pakuvhurwa kweSt. Bernard's Seminary, Gumiguru 2, 1873, Kusavimbika kweRamangwana

Mubvunzo, zvisinei, ndewekuti nei uchitaura nezve izvi zvinhu kana zvichizongo tyisa vanhu? Nei uchikumbira tarisiro yemunhu anopesana naKristu kana ichizongovhundutsa boka? Sei mapapa ivo pachavo vachipinda mu "nguva yekupedzisira mania"? Sei, zvakadaro, Mai Vedu Vakakomborerwa mukati akabvumidzwa zvakazarurwa, zvakaita saFatima, vanotaura nezvezvinhu zvakaita seiyo “Kuparadzwa kwemarudzi”, nezvimwewo? Uye nei Ishe Wedu achitsanangura zvakadzama, mune ese eEvhangeri naZvakazarurwa, "bongozozo nekunyengera" kwaizouya, dai taisazviziva? Uye kana tichizozviziva, nei? St. Cyril weJerusarema (c. 315-386) akati:

Chechi ikozvino inokupomera pamberi paMwari mupenyu; anokuudza zvinhu zvine chekuita naantikristu vasati vasvika. Kunyangwe zvichaitika munguva yako isu hatizvizive, kana kuti zvichaitika shure kwako isu tisingazive; asi zvakanaka kuti, kana uchiziva zvinhu izvi, uzvishambadze zvisati zvaitika. - Chiremba weChechi, Catechetical Mharidzo, Kudzidza XV, n.9

Kuchengeteka kubva kune chii? Yambiro dziri muMagwaro uye chiporofita dzinoitirwa kutigadzirira iyo yakaipa kunyengera kuri kuuya - hunyengeri hukuru zvekuti Jesu akati, Zvino kana Mwanakomana wemunhu achisvika, uchawana rutendo panyika here? ^[2]Ruka 18: 8 "Naizvozvo, ngatiregei kurara sezvinoita vamwe vese, asi ngatirambei takamuka uye takasvinura." ^[3]1 VATESARONIKA 5: 6

Ndiwo mazwi anoita kuti ndimbomira - kwete zviporofita zvehutachiona hunouya kubva kuChina hwakafanotaurwa nenzira kwayo naMai Vedu mumeseji kuvaoni vaviri pawebhusaiti yedu (Gisella Cardia uye muoni "anotenderwa", Luz de Maria); kwete kuwanda kwemakomo akaputika pasirese akafungidzira pamusoro pemakore gumi nemashanu apfuura (zvekuti kunyangwe nevanoongorora zvemakomo havagone kufanotaura) izvo zviri kuitika iye zvino;^[4]cf. Makomo Achamuka kwete yambiro kubva kuvaoni idzo dzave kungodzokororwa nemasayendisiti kutenderera pasirese kwekukuvara kukuru kubva kumajekiseni ekuyedza;^[5]cf. Apo Vaoni neSainzi Vanobatana; zvakare Yambiro kumakuva - Chikamu II kana yambiro dzekuuya kwemhirizhonga muChechi izvo, hongu, zvingangoitika izvozvi pamberi pedu.^[6]cf. Schism Ichauya; Kubvumbi 8, 2021: "Vafundisi vekuUS Echo Kutya kweSchism muChechi yeKaturike kuGerman",  ncregister.com Kwete, iyi yambiro yekuti kunyangwe isu isu vanofunga kuti takamira, vanogona kuwira - votiza Getsemane, zvakare, apo Chechi inopinda mune yayo Kushuvira.

Pakupera kwehurukuro yake pakuuya kweasina mutemo, St. Paul anotaura nezve "kunyengera kwakasimba”Inotumirwa naMwari pane avo “Havana kutenda chokwadi asi vakatendera zvakaipa.” ^[7]2 Thess 2: 12 Nhamo, heuno mumwe mweya wakashata wakapihwa "kumagumo nguva mania":

Tiri kupi ikozvino mune eschatological pfungwa? Zviri kupokana kuti isu tiri pakati pekupandukira uye kuti iko kunyengera kwakasimba kwakauya pavanhu vazhinji, vazhinji. Uku ndiko kunyengera uye kupandukira zvinomiririra zvichaitika zvinotevera: Uye munhu asingateereri mutemo acharatidzwa. ” —Mk. Charles Pope, "Ndiwo Mabhandi Ekunze Ekutongwa Kunouya?", Mbudzi 11, 2014; blog

Asi sekutaura kwaPatrick, "hazvina basa kuti Anopesana naKristu ari kuvhura hofisi pasi penzira kubva kwauri"; ingoda uye urarame hupenyu hwako. Zvinoratidzika kwandiri, zvakadaro, kuti ndizvo zvakananga inyaya yerudo kusagara padivi apo, sekutaura kwaBenedict XVI, "Ramangwana chairo repasi riri panjodzi."^[8]Kero kune iyo Roman Curia, Zvita 20, 2010 Chero ani zvake akamboshandisa chero nguva inonzwisisika paCountdown kuenda kuHumambo anoziva kuti mazwi aMai Vedu ndiwo maungira ane simba evapapa:

Hakuna munhu anotarisisa pasi redu nhasi anogona kufunga kuti maKristu anokwanisa kuenda mberi nebhizinesi senguva dzose, achiregeredza dambudziko rakakura rekutenda iro rakapfuura nzanga yedu, kana kungovimba kuti hutongi hwehunhu hwakapihwa nemazana emakore echiKristu hucha ramba uchikurudzira uye kuumba ramangwana renharaunda yedu. —PAPA BENEDICT XVI, London, England, Gunyana 18, 2010; Zenit

Vana vangu, endai munoparidza: ivai vapostori vechokwadi, batsirai hama nehanzvadzi dzenyu neshanduko yavo yemukati, nekuti chete neizvozvo vachakwanisa kuve nerunyararo rukuru mumoyo yavo, zvisinei nezvichakurumidza kuitika. Zvikasadaro kushushikana uye kutya ndizvo zvichave zvavo chete mamiriro epfungwa. Ani naani ari muna Kristu haazombofi akatya. -Mukadzi Wedu kuna Gisella Cardia, Kubvumbi 10, 2021

Ipa zvakanakisa zvako kune iro basa rawakapihwa. Ishe wangu anotarisira zvakawanda kubva kwauri. Uri kurarama munguva yekuvhiringidzika kukuru pamweya. Teerera. Usatendera chero chinhu kana chero munhu kukuendesa kure nechokwadi. Bhendesa mabvi ako mumunamato. Uri kunanga kune ramangwana uko vashoma vacharamba vakasimba mukutenda. Madhaka edzidziso dzenhema achapararira kwese kwese uye vazhinji vachabva pachokwadi. -Mukadzi Wedu kuna Pedro Regis, Kubvumbi 13, 2021

Nekudaro, ndinoona zvisinganzwisisike kuti imwe yenzira huru kwazvo iyo Mwari anomutsa nayo vanhu vake, anotungamira, anokurudzira, anoranga, uye anoda vana vake - ndiko kuti, kuburikidza nechiporofita - akafuridzirwa. Isu tinongorega sei kupfuura kukurudzira kwaSt.

Usashore mazwi evaporofita, asi edza zvese; batisisai izvo zvakanaka… (1 VATESARONIKA 5: 20-21)

Kunyange Patrick achiratidzika kuwana yakawanda email kubva kuvanhu vanotyiswa newebhusaiti ino, zvakafanana hazvigone kutaurwa kwandiri kana nechikwata changu. Muchokwadi, ini handisati ndambonzwa kutendeuka kuzhinji kwakashamisa seni kwandakaita kuburikidza nemeseji dzeCountdown kuHumambo. Ini zvechokwadi ndaisatarisira izvozvo. Isu takave nevapirisita uye vanhuwo zvavo vakanyora kubva kutenderera pasirese avo vari kupfuura kana kupupurira kushandurwa kunoshamisa zvechokwadi - vakomana vanopambadza nevanasikana vachiuya kumba, dzimwe nguva mushure memakumi emakore ekubva pakutenda. Mumwe mupristi akati Kuverengera kwaive kubatsira kumutsiridza parishi yake yese. 

Muchokwadi, hunhu hwekuti Kuverengera kuHumambo nderumwe rudzi rweanotyisa show haigone kuwedzera kubva pachokwadi. Cardinal Ratzinger akambobvunzwa kuti sei aive asina tariro. Akapindura, "Handisi. Ndiri munhu chaiye. ” Mukadzi Wedu ndeyechokwadi zvakare. Iye anoziva Magwaro zvirinani kupfuura chero munhu, senge ndima iyi:

Usakanganise: Mwari haasekwi, nekuti munhu anokohwa chaanodyara chete. (VaGaratia 6: 7)

Hunhu hwatanga kukohwa zvayakadyara - makumi emakore ekudeura ropa, mhirizhonga, hedonism, kupandukira - masora ari kusvika panhongonya. Uye hongu, haina kunaka. Nepo vamwe vachifunga kuti mameseji ari pane ino webhusaiti anotyisa, chandinoona chinotyisa tarisiro inogona kugoneswa nenyika ino enderera sezvazviri; iyo 115000 vacheche vacharamba vachigururwa zuva nezuva mudumbu; kuti zvinonyadzisira zvicharamba zvichibira mabhiriyoni ekusava nemhosva kwavo; kutengeswa kwevanhu kucharamba kuchiputika; rusununguko irworwo rwuchanyangarika; iyo hondo yenyukireya inogona kumuka chero zuva ikozvino, zvichingodaro. Asi kwete, zvinoita sekunge vamwe vafundisi nevanhuwo zvavo vanofunga kuti huporofita hupi zvahwo hunotaura nezvekucheneswa, kurangwa kana kugadziriswa naMwari ndezvekunyepa, nekuda kwekuti vanotya. Zvakadaro chero chinhu chipi chiri kutaurwa nevaoni ichi chakatotaurwa kare naIshe Wedu zvakadaro; Ndiri kureva, isu tinofanirwa kusabvumidza Jesu Kristu kune "dambudziko nerima" raMateu 24, Mako 13, Ruka 21, Bhuku reZvakazarurwa, zvichingodaro. Asi, Akatitaurira zvinhu izvi pamberi, chaizvo kutigadzirira iyo nguva inotyisa apo chikamu chikuru chevanhu chinosiya Vhangeri rinoguma nerudzi rwuchimukira rumwe rudzi, humambo hwuchimukira neumambo hwakaitwa nevanhu (pakutanga) mhirizhonga inopararira nyika.

Asi, Chechi haichakwanise kunzwa mazwi aKristu izvi zvakare (ndoda avo vevaoni) uye kugadzirira nguva dzakadai. Iko kushomeka kwakazara kwekudzidzisa muChechi mukati memakumi mashanu emakore apfuura pamusoro pekufungidzira uye nekuzarurirwa kwega kwakauya kumba kuzogara: tiri kubhadhara mutengo we zvakadzama kushomeka kwekatekisesi sekuporofita hakungoregererwe chete asi kutonyaradzwa. Vaprisita vatsva havana kana zano rekuti vangabata sei chiporofita, uye nekudaro ivo havadaro. Vapirisita vakuru vakadzidziswa kuseka zvakavanzika, uye vazhinji vanoita. Uye vanhuwo zvavo, vakasiyiwa vasina kupikiswa kubva papurupeti mukati memakumi mashanu emakore apfuura, vakarara. 

… 'Kurara' ndekwedu, kweavo vedu vasingade kuona izere nehuipi uye vasingade kupinda muPassion yake.. —PAPA BENEDICT XVI, Catholic News Agency, Vatican City, Kubvumbi 20, 2011, General Audience

Tiri kurarama “Sepasina imwe nguva munhoroondo,” akadaro St. John Paul II.

Mumazera ese, chiyero chevanoonekwa sekubudirira kufa kwevasina mhosva. Muzana redu redu ramakore, sepasina imwe nguva munhoroondo, "tsika yekufa" yatora chimiro chehunhu uye chepamutemo kururamisa mhosva dzakaipisisa dzakanangana nevanhu: kuuraya rudzi, "mhinduro dzekupedzisira", "kuchenesa madzinza", uye "kutora kukuru kwehupenyu hwevanhu kunyange vasati vazvarwa, kana vasati vasvika padanho rerufu…" - Mumba, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, Denver, Colorado, Nyamavhuvhu 15, 1993

Asi utukwe kana ukazvitaura zvinonzwika. Nekuti haisi iyo parizvino nzira yekuparadza, kutyora rusununguko, uye kusapikiswa kutsikwa kwechiremera chevanhu kuri kutyisa kumatunhu edu uye nevamwe vanhu. Kwete, ava vanoona vasina kujeka uye vaoni vanofungidzirwa kuti vanogamuchira mameseji kubva Kudenga vanofanirwa kupikiswa kana vasina kunyaradzwa; ndivo vanotityisa - kwete vanhu vane hunhu vetsika dzerufu vakatimisikidza kuti timake uye kubayiwa jekiseni nemakemikari avo kuitira "zvakanaka".^[9]Mhosva Inopikisa Masuwo Usataure nezve chitadzo, kutendeuka kana kutendeuka. Usatsunga kutaura kururamisira kwaMwari. Usadaro iwe angatsunga zunza chikepe….

Asi kana vamwe vaporofita vachizunza chikepe - uye ichivhundutsa vamwe vanhu - hatigone kunzwa izwi raKristu zvakare here?

Nei uchitya, haiwa iwe wekutenda kudiki? (Mat. 8:26)

Zvakare, ndeipi pfungwa yeDenga inotinyevera nezveAnopesana naKristu, nezvimwe? Zvakanaka, kana zviri izvo zvese zvaive mameseji aya, Patrick anogona kuve nepfungwa. Asi muchokwadi, iwo meseji anowanzo zadzwa nekukurudzira kwakakosha ku “Ramba wakatendeka kumagisterium echokwadi,” to "Chengetedza chokwadi", kuramba uchitsvaga simba muEucharist, Kureurura, uye kuita munamato chikamu chezuva nezuva chehupenyu hwako. Pane chakaipa here mukuyeuchidzwa nezveizvi? Zvese izvi zvinongova maungira eMagwaro Matsvene apo St. Paul, mushure mekutaura nezvekuuya kwaAntikristu, paakapa mushonga.

Naizvozvo, hama, mirai makasimba uye batisisai tsika dzamakadzidziswa, nemuromo wekutaura kana netsamba yedu. (2 VaTesaronika 2: 15)

Pakupedzisira, Patrick akataura zvine mutsindo kuti, kunyangwe nehunhu hwake, kunyomba kumuganhu: kuti vese vanoona pane ino webhusaiti "zvimwe havasi kuona chero chinhu kupfuura kwavo kufunga." Pano, rwonzi rwayambuka. Kupesana nezvakataurwa naPatrick (uye akati aida kugadziriswa), vaoni vazhinji pano vane mvumo yeChechi kune imwe nhanho: vaoni veHeede, Germany (vakabvumidzwa); Luz de Maria (zvinyorwa zvinobvumidzwa); Alicja Lenczewska (Anogadzira); Jennifer (akatsigirwa namushakabvu Fr. Seraphim Michaelenko uye mushure mekuzviisa pasi kuna John Paul II, mumiriri weVatican akamuudza kuti "Paridzai meseji nyika nenzira ipi neipi yamunogona"); St. Faustina (akatenderwa); Pedro Regis (rutsigiro rwakafara kubva kuna bhishopi wake); Simona naAngela (vanoshingairira basa redzidziso); vaoni veMedjugorje (mavambo manomwe ekutanga anotenderwa neRini Commission, vakamirira izwi rekupedzisira kubva kunaPope); Marco Ferrari (akasangana nemapapa akati wandei; achiri pasi peboka redzidziso); Muranda waMwari Luisa Piccarreta (kubvumidzwa kuzere); Fr.

Ndinokurudzira Patrick kuti averenge chinyorwa chazvino chinonzi pano Chiporofita mumaonero kuti tinzwisise kuti Sangano rinotibvunza sei kuti titaure zvakazarurwa zvakavanzika Sezvineiwo, inotaurira vaverengi maitiro ekuita nezvimwe kuporofita kunonakidza mukati memamiriro ekudzidzisa kweChechi kwete kuzviisa pasi.
