ISibhalo-Indalo Yazalwa Ngokutsha

Uya kumbetha ondlongondlongo ngentonga yomlomo wakhe;
ambulale ongendawo ngomoya wemilebe yakhe.
Ubulungisa bubotshiwe esinqeni sakhe.
nokuthembeka ibhanti ezinqeni zakhe.
Ke ingcuka iya kuba lundwendwe lwexhwane,
ingwe ibuthe netakane lebhokhwe;
ithole nengonyama entsha iya kuququzela kunye;
nomntwana omncinci ukubakhokela.
Inkomo nebhere ziya kubamelwane;
kunye amathole azo aya kuphumla;
ingonyama itya ingca njengenkomo.
Usana luya kudlala emhadini wephimpi;
kwaye umntwana ubeke isandla sakhe kwisongezo somdibanisi.
Akuyi kubakho konakala, akuyi kubakho konakala entabeni yam yonke engcwele;
ngokuba ilizwe liya kuzala kukwazi uYehova,
njengamanzi egubungele ulwandle. (Ukufundwa kweMisa yokuqala namhlanje; Isaya 11)

Abaseki beCawa yamandulo banikela umbono ocacileyo kunye nengcaciso “iminyaka eliwaka,” ngokutsho kweSityhilelo seNgcwele kaYohane ( 20:1-6 ; cf. Apha). Babekholelwa ukuba uKristu wayeya kuseka, ngendlela entsha, uBukumkani bakhe phakathi kwabangcwele Bakhe—ukuzaliseka ‘koBawo wethu,’ xa uBukumkani bakhe buya kufika buze bufike. “kuya kwenziwa emhlabeni njengokuba kusenziwa eZulwini.” ^[1]Mat 10:6; cf. Ubunyani bokwenyani

Kwakhona abaSeki beCawa bathetha ngeentsikelelo zokomoya eziya kubakho kolu loyiso, kuquka impembelelo yoBukumkani kubomi obungunaphakade. indalo ngokwayo. Okwangoku, utshilo uSt. Paul…

…indalo ilindele ngentumekelelo isityhilelo sabantwana bakaThixo; Kaloku indalo yathotyelwa kokuphuthileyo, kungengakuthanda kwayo, kodwa ngenxa yalowo wayilulamisayo, ngethemba lokuba nayo indalo ngokwayo iya kukhululwa ebukhobokeni bokonakala, ibe nesabelo enkululekweni yozuko lwabantwana bakaThixo. Siyazi ke ukuba yonke indalo iyancwina inenimba, unangoku... (KwabaseRoma 8: 19-22)

Abantwana baphi? Kuya kubonakala ngathi abantwana boMoya oyiNgcwele, abaphila bebuyiselwe kucwangco lwantlandlolo, injongo kunye nendawo esasiyidalelwe yona nguThixo. 

“Yonke indalo,” watsho uPaul uPaul, "uyancwina kwaye usebenza kude kube ngoku," silindele imizamo kaKrestu yokukhulula ubudlelane phakathi koThixo nendalo yakhe. Kodwa isenzo sikaKristu sokuhlangula asizibuyiseli ngokwaso zonke izinto, senza nje umsebenzi wentlawulelo ukuba ube khona, siqale ukukhululwa kwethu. Njengokuba bonke abantu besabelana ngokungathobeli kuka-Adam, ngokunjalo bonke abantu kufuneka babelane ekuthobeleni uKrestu kwintando kaYise. Intlawulelo iya kufezekiswa kuphela xa bonke abantu besabelana ngokuthobela kwakhe… —UMkhonzi kaThixo Fr. UWalter Ciszek, Uyandikhokela (ISan Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1995), iphepha 116-117

Yiyo ke loo nto isenzo esipheleleyo soqulunqo loMdali esichaziweyo: indalo apho uThixo nendoda, indoda nomfazi, ubuntu nendalo ziyavumelana, kwincoko, kubudlelane. Eli cebo, licatshukiswa sisono, lathatyathwa ngendlela emangalisa ngakumbi nguKrestu, eliqhuba ngokungummangaliso kodwa ngempumelelo kwinyani yangoku, kulindelo lwe ukuyizisa kwinzaliseko...—UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Ababukeli ngokubanzi, nge-14 kaFebruwari ngo-2001

Kodwa ngaphambi koko "ukubuyiswa kwezinto zonke kuKristu“, njengoko uSt. Pius X wakubizayo, bobabini uIsaya noYohane oNgcwele kubonakala ukuba bathetha ngesiganeko esifana nqwa: ukusulungekiswa komhlaba nguKristu ngokwakhe:^[2]cf. Umgwebo wabaphilayo kwaye Izigwebo zokugqibela

Uya kumbetha ondlongondlongo ngentonga yomlomo wakhe; ambulale ongendawo ngomoya wemilebe yakhe. Ubulungisa bubotshiwe esinqeni sakhe. nokuthembeka ibhanti ezinqeni zakhe. (Isaya 11: 4-5)

Thelekisa oko kwabhalwa nguSt. John ngokukhawuleza ngaphambi kweXesha loXolo okanye "iwaka leminyaka":

Ndalibona izulu livulekile, nalo ihashe elimhlophe; umkhweli walo wayebizwa ngokuba “uThembekile noNyaniso.” Ugweba, enze imfazwe ngobulungisa…. Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ikrele elibukhali, ukuze azixabele iintlanga. Uya kuzalusa ngentonga yentsimbi, yaye yena uya kuyixovula esixovulelweni iwayini yobushushu nengqumbo kaThixo uSomandla. Unegama libhaliwe engutyeni yakhe nasethangeni lakhe, “uKumkani wookumkani, uNkosi kankosi”… baya kulawula [abangcwele abavusiweyo] kunye naye iminyaka eliwaka… Abaseleyo abafileyo abazange badle bomi de yaphela iminyaka eliwaka. ( ISityhilelo 19:11, 15-16; ISityhilelo 20:6, 5 )

Emva kokufika Uvuko lweCawa, Uloyiso lweNtliziyo Engaguqukiyo kunye noBukumkani beNtando yobuThixo, oko abaSeki beCawa bakubiza ngokuba “lusuku lwesixhenxe” - “ixesha loxolo” lethutyana ngaphambi “komhla wesibhozo” wokugqibela nongunaphakade.^[3]cf. Iminyaka Eliwaka kwaye Ukuphumla kweSabatha okuzayo Kwaye oku akunakunceda kodwa kunempembelelo ekudaleni. Njani?
