ISibhalo-Sivuse Kwidangatye Lesipho

Ngenxa yeso sizathu ndikukhumbuza ukuba uvuselele emlilweni
isipho sikaThixo onaso ngokubekwa kwezandla zam.
Kaloku uThixo akasinikanga moya wabugwala
makube ngamandla, nothando, nokuzeyisa.
(UkuFunda kokuqala kwiSikhumbuzo seeNgcwele uTimoti noTito)

 

Ngobugwala

Ukusukela ngeKrisimesi, ndiyavuma, bendiziva ndidiniwe. Iminyaka emibini yokuchasa ubuxoki ngexesha lo bhubhani ithathe uxanduva njengoko eli lidabi, ekugqibeleni, phakathi kwabaphathi kunye namagunya. (Namhlanje, i-Facebook isanda kundinqumamisa kwakhona kangangeentsuku ezingama-30 ngenxa yokuba ndithumele unyango olusindisa ubomi, olujongwe ntanga kwiqonga labo kunyaka ophelileyo. Silwa nokuhlolwa kwenyaniso ngalo lonke ixesha, umlo wokwenene phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi.) , ukuthula kwabefundisi—into esenokuba “bubugwala” athetha ngabo uSt.^[1]cf. Balusi abathandekayo… Niphi?; Xa ndandilambile Njengoko ndabhala ekuqaleni kobhubhane, oku IGetsemane yethu. Ke ngoko, siphila kukozela kwabaninzi,^[2]cf. Uyabiza ngelixa Silala ubugwala babo, kwaye ekugqibeleni, ukulahla kwabo ingqiqo, ingqiqo, kunye nenyaniso - kanye njengokuba uYesu, oyiNyaniso, wayekwa ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye kanye njengoko Wagwetywayo, ngokunjalo, abo bathetha inyani baphenjelelwa ngamagama obuxoki: "ubuhlanga, ukungahloneli kwabafazi, ukongamela kwabamhlophe, i-theorist iyelenqe, anti-vaxxers, njl. Kunokuba bubudenge kwaye buselula - kodwa kukho abo bakhohlisayo ngokwaneleyo ukuba bayikholelwe. Ngenxa yoko, kukwakho ukruthakruthwano lwemihla ngemihla lokujongana nabo bakwiintsapho zethu okanye ekuhlaleni abakhokelwa ngumoya woloyiko ngoku naba yenza ngokufanelekileyo. Yimfundo yexesha lokwenyani kuninzi lwethu ukubona kanye kanye indlela uluntu, olufana neJamani okanye kwenye indawo, olwathi lwalwamkela ngayo ulawulo lobuzwilakhe kunye nembubhiso, nkqu necala layo.^[3]cf. I-Mass Psychosis kunye neTotalitarianism Ewe, asisoze sikholelwe ukuba inokwenzeka kuthi - de sijonge emva kumashumi eminyaka kamva sisithi, "Ewe, kwenzekile - kanye njengoko sasilunyukisiwe. Kodwa asizange siphulaphule. Asizange senze njalo ufuna Ukumamela." Mhlawumbi uBenedict XVI wathetha kakuhle xa wayeseyikhadinali:

Kuyacaca namhlanje ukuba yonke impucuko enkulu ihlupheka ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ukusuka kumaxabiso amaxabiso kunye nemibono ethi kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi ithathe ubungozi ... Kwiindawo ezininzi, sisemngciphekweni wokungalawuleki. — “Upopu wexesha elizayo uyathetha”; catholiculture.com, ngoMeyi 1, 2005

Ngoko ke, sinokudimazeka ngokulula. Kodwa oNgcwele uPawulos umi phezu kwethu namhlanje njengomzalwana omkhulu esithi, “Yima kancinane: aninikwanga moya woloyiko nowokuneentloni. UngumKristu! Ngoko xhokonxa esi sipho singcwele edangatyeni! Lilungelo lakho!” Enyanisweni, uPopu St. Paul VI wathi:

… Zinkulu kakhulu iimfuno kunye neengozi zeli xesha langoku, bukhulu kakhulu ubume boluntu obutsalelekileyo ukuhlalisana kwehlabathi kwaye akunamandla okukufezekisa, ukuba akukho lusindiso kuyo ngaphandle kwe ukuthululwa okutsha kwesipho sikaThixo. Makhe eze, uMoya oDalayo, Ukuhlaziya ubuso bomhlaba! —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Gaudete eDomino, Ngomhla we-9th, 1975, www.v Vatican.va

Ke ngoko, olu fundo lweMisa alunakuba sisikhumbuzo esisexesheni sokuba kufanele ukuba sithandazela iPentekosti entsha yonke imihla eCaweni nasehlabathini. Kwaye ukuba sidakumbile, sidakumbile, sidangele, sinexhala, sityhafile, sidiniwe… kukho ithemba lokuba uthuthu olungaphakathi lungavuthululwa kwakhona lube ngumlilo. Njengoko kubhaliwe kuIsaya:

Abathembele kuYehova baya kuhlaziyeka emandleni, banyuke ngamaphiko okhozi; baya kubaleka baze bangadinwa, bahambe baze bangatyhafi. (U-Isaya 40: 31)

Le asiyonkqubo yokuzinceda, nangona kunjalo, luhlobo lweseshini ekhuthazayo ekhokelayo. Kunoko, ngumbandela wokuphinda unxulumane noThixo onguMthombo wala mandla, uthando, nokuzeyisa. 

 

amandla

Baphuma ke abafundi abamashumi asixhenxe anababini Igunya kaYesu ukuze akhuphe iidemon aze avakalise uBukumkani, akuzange kube kudala de “bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele”^[4]IZenzo 2: 4 ngePentekoste ukuba iintliziyo zachukunyiswa bunzima kwinguquko ngamawaka amathathu ngamini-nye.^[5]IZenzo 3: 41 Ngaphandle kwamandla kaMoya Oyingcwele, umsebenzi wabo wobupostile wawulinganiselwe ukuba wawungeyonyumba. 

… UMoya oyiNgcwele ngummeli ophambili wovangelo: nguYe onyanzela umntu ngamnye ukuba abhengeze iVangeli, kwaye ikwanguye onzulu kwizazela owenza ukuba ilizwi losindiso lamkelwe kwaye liqondwe. —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. I-74; www.v Vatican.va

Ngenxa yoko, wabhala uPopu Leo XXII:

… Kufuneka sithandaze sicele uMoya oyiNgcwele, kuba elowo kuthi ufuna ukukhuselwa noncedo lwaKhe. Okukhona umntu eswele ubulumko, ebuthathaka emandleni, ethwele ubunzima, ethambekele esonweni, kungoko efanele ukubhabha aye kulowo ungumthombo wokukhanya ongapheliyo, amandla, intuthuzelo nobungcwele. -I-Divinum Illud Munus, Encyclical on the Holy Spirit, n. 11

Nguye amandla yoMoya oyiNgcwele ngumahluko lowo. Ngapha koko, umshumayeli wendlu kapopu uthi sibhaptiziwe “singabopha” ubabalo loMoya oyiNgcwele ebomini bethu kwaye sigcine uMoya ekusebenzeni. 

Imfundiso yamaKatolika iyawamkela umthendeleko osemthethweni kodwa "ubotshiwe". Umthendeleko ubizwa ubotshelelwe ukuba isiqhamo ekufuneka sihamba naso sihleli sibotshiwe ngenxa yeebhloko ezithile ezithintela ukusebenza kwaso. —Fr. Raneiro Cantalamessa, OFMCap, Ubhaptizo ngoMoya

Ngenxa yoko, kufuneka sikuthandazele oku “kukhululwa” koMoya Oyingcwele, utsho, ukuze ubabalo Lwakhe luqukuqele njengevumba elimnandi kubomi bobuKristu, okanye njengoko iNgcwele uPawulos isitsho, “luvuthiswe lidangatye.” Kwaye kufuneka senze njalo guqula ukuze kususwe iibhloko. Ke ngoko, iisakramente zoBhaptizo kunye noQinisekiso zisisiqalo nje sesenzo soMoya oyiNgcwele kumfundi, silandelwa ngoncedo lwe-Confession kunye ne-Eucharist.

Ngapha koko, sibona kwiSibhalo ukuba "singazaliswa njani nguMoya oyiNgcwele" ngokuphindaphindiweyo:

• ngomthandazo wobudlelane: “Bakubon’ ukuba bathandaza, yazanyazanyiswa indawo ababehlanganisene kuyo, bazaliswa bonke nguMoya oyiNgcwele . . . ( IZenzo 4:31 ; phawula, le yimihla emininzi emva Pentekosti)

• “ngokubekwa kwezandla”: “USimon wabona ukuba uMoya unikwe ngokubekwa kwezandla zabapostile…” (IZenzo 8:18).

• ngokuphulaphula iLizwi likaThixo: “Kwathi, esathetha uPetros ezi zinto, wasuka wabawela uMoya oyiNgcwele bonke ababeliva ilizwi.” ( IZenzo 10:44 )

• ngonqulo: “…nizaliswe nguMoya, nithetha omnye nomnye ngeendumiso, neengoma, nezango ezizezomoya, nivuma, niculela uYehova uhadi ngentliziyo yenu yonke.” ( Efe 5:18-19 )

Ndikhe ndanamava oku "kuzaliswa" nguMoya oyiNgcwele amaxesha amaninzi ebomini bam ngokungasentla. Andikwazi ukuchaza njani UThixo uyayenza; Ndiyazi nje ukuba Wenza njalo. Ngamanye amaxesha, utsho uFr. Cantalamessa, "Kungathi iplagi itsaliwe kwaye isibane silayitiwe." Oko kungamandla omthandazo, amandla okholo, okuza kuYesu kwaye sivule iintliziyo zethu kuye, ngakumbi xa sidiniwe. Ngale ndlela, sizaliswe nguMoya, kukho amandla kwinto esiyenzayo nesiyithethayo, ngokungathi uMoya oyiNgcwele ubhala “phakathi kwemida.” 

Rhoqo, rhoqo, sifumana phakathi kwabafazi bethu abathembekileyo nabalula mhlawumbi abangakhange bagqibe nokufunda amabanga aphantsi, kodwa abanokuthetha nathi ngezinto ezingcono kunaye nawuphi na umfundi wezakwalizwi, kuba benoMoya kaKristu. —UPOPA UFrancis, Homily, Septemba 2, eVatican; Zenit.org

Kwelinye icala, ukuba akukho nto siyenzayo ngaphandle kokugcwalisa ubuze bethu bomoya ngemidiya yoluntu, umabonwakude, kunye nolonwabo, siya kuhlala singenanto - kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uya "kubotshwa" ngentando yethu yomntu. 

…Musani ukunxila yiwayini, ekukhoyo kuko uburheletyo; manizaliswe nguMoya. (Efese 5:18)

 

uthando

Ehleli kwisisele sakhe elindele ukuxoxwa kwetyala lakhe phambi kwenkundla yamaNazi, uFr. UAlfred Delp, SJ wabhala iimbono ezinamandla kwindlela yoluntu ebaluleke ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Uphawula ukuba iCawe iye yaba sisitya esikhulu sokugcina imeko ikhoyo, okanye okubi ngakumbi, ukuhambelana kwayo:

Ngexesha elithile elizayo umbhali-mbali othembekileyo uyakuthetha izinto ezikrakra ngegalelo leeCawe ekudalweni kwengqondo yabaninzi, yobumbano, ubuzwilakhe njalo njalo. —Fr. UAlfred Delp, SJ, Ukubhalwa kweNtolongo (Iincwadi zeOrbis), iphe. 95; Fr. UDelp wabulawa ngenxa yokumelana nolawulo lwamaNazi

Uyaqhubeka athi:

Abo bafundisa ngonqulo baze bashumayele iinyaniso zokholo kwihlabathi elingakholwayo mhlawumbi baxhalabele ngakumbi ukuzingqina bengamalungisa kunokufumanisa nokwanelisa indlala yokomoya yabo bathetha nabo. Kwakhona, sikulungele kakhulu ukucinga ukuba siyazi, ngcono kunongakholwayo, into emphetheyo. Siyithatha nje kancinci into yokuba ekuphela kwempendulo ayifunayo iqulethwe kwiifomula, eziqhelekileyo kuthi, kangangokuba sizithetha ngaphandle kokucinga. Asiqondi ukuba uphulaphula, kungekhona ngamazwi, kodwa ngenxa yobungqina ukucinga kunye nothando ngasemva kwamagama. Ukanti, ukuba akaguquki ngoko nangoko ngeentshumayelo zethu, siyazithuthuzela sicinga ukuba oku kungenxa yobugqwirha bakhe obusisiseko. -Isusela UAlfred Delp, SJ, Imibhalo yeNtolongo, (Iincwadi zeOrbis), iphe. xxx (eyam yoxinzelelo)

Uthixo Luthando. Singasilela njani ke ngoko ukukubona ukubaluleka kokuthandana—ingakumbi iintshaba zethu? Uthando yinto ebeka inyama kuThixo-kwaye ngoku sizizandla neenyawo zikaKristu. Ubuncinane, sifanele sibe njalo. Kungenxa “ngobungqina bengcinga nothando” kwinto esikhetha ukuyenza nesiyithethayo ukuba ihlabathi liya kuqiniseka ngathi—ngamazwi angaphezu kwewaka anobuciko angenaluthando, angenawo uMoya oyiNgcwele. Ewe, baninzi abenza izenzo ezininzi zobubele, njl. Ngoko ke,

Umhlaba ufuna kwaye ulindele kuthi ubomi obulula, umoya wokuthandaza, uthando kubo bonke, ngakumbi kubantu abaphantsi nabangamahlwempu, ukuthobela nokuthobeka, ukuzimela nokuzincama. Ngaphandle kolu phawu lobungcwele, ilizwi lethu liya kuba nobunzima ekuchukumiseni intliziyo yendoda yanamhlanje. Kusemngciphekweni wokuba lilize nokungabinazintsholongwane. —IPOPA ST. UPAWULOS VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. I-76; IVatican.va

Kukho iincwadi ezisisigidi ezibhalwe ngothando lobuKristu. Kwanele ukuthi, ke, into eseleyo kukuba amaKristu ayenze ngokwenene, abe yile nto ikhangeleka ngayo uthando.

 

Ukuzibamba

Ngelixa ihlabathi linokusikhupha amandla ethu obuntu kwaye lizame ukusibetha ngoyaba isigqibo sethu, kwanokuba nethemba, kukho “ukungabi nanto” okuthile is kuyimfuneko. Kwaye oko kukukhupha intando yethu, i-ego, uMkhulu "Mna". Oku kukhupha okanye Unyango lubalulekile kubomi bobuKristu. Ngokungafaniyo neBuddhism, apho umntu ehluthwa kodwa engazange azaliswe, umKrestu uyazihlutha ukuze azaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ngokwenene, uBathathu Emnye. Oku “kuzifela” kuza ngoncedo loMoya oyiNgcwele ngokusikhokelela “kwinyaniso esikhululayo”: ^[6]cf. Yohane 8:32; Roma 8:26

Abo besimo esonakeleyo banyamekela izinto zasenyameni, kodwa abo bangokoMoya banyamekela izinto zoMoya. Ukunyamekela inyama kukufa, kodwa ukunyamekela uMoya bubomi noxolo. . . . ukuba niphila ngokweso simo, niya kufa; ke ukuba niyazibulala ngoMoya, zife iintlondi zomzimba, nophila. (Roma 8: 5-13)

UPawulos uthi, ngenxa yesi sizathu, “musani ukumilisa okwale nkqubo yezinto, kodwa manibe kumila kumbi ngokuhlaziyeka kwengqiqo yenu.”^[7]I-Rom 12: 2 Kufuneka senze ukhetho ngabom lokulandela uYesu, ‘siguquke’ kwizono zethu size sishiye ngasemva “inyama” okanyeindoda endala“, njengoko uPawulos esitsho. Uvumo lwezono oluthe rhoqo, nyanga nenyanga ukuba alukho veki nganye, luyimfuneko kumKristu onyanisekileyo. Yaye ewe, maxa wambi le nguquko ibuhlungu kuba sibulala ngokoqobo iminqweno yenyama. Umoya esiwunikiweyo ayingomoya wokwenza njengoko sithanda, kodwa wokuphila ngamadolo-ukuphila ngokuzithoba kwiNtando kaThixo. Oku kusenokuvakala njengohlobo olubhaptiziweyo lobukhoboka, kodwa akunjalo. Intando kaThixo sisicwangciso esizukileyo soyilo somphefumlo womntu. Obona Bulumko bukaThixo kanye obenza umntu akwazi ukuthetha Naye ngengqondo, ngentando, nangenkumbulo. Ekuzeyiseni, asilahleki kodwa siyazifumanisa. Isithethe sobuKristu sizaliswe zizigidi zobungqina kunye nabafel 'ukholo lwabo bathi, ngokukhanyela inyama enesono, bafumanisa i-paradox yoMnqamlezo: kuhlala kukho ukuvuka kubomi obutsha kuThixo xa sibulala umntu omdala. 

UmKristu ophila kumandla, uthando, kunye nokuzeyisa koMoya oyiNgcwele ngamandla afanele ukubalwa. Abangcwele bahlala benjalo. Kwaye ihlabathi lethu libadinga njani Ngoku. 

Ukumamela uKristu nokumnqula kusikhokelela ekubeni sizikhethele ngenkalipho, sithathe izigqibo ngamanye amaxesha zobuqhawe. UYesu uyafuna, kuba unqwenela ulonwabo lwethu lwenene. Icawe ifuna abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, kwaye abantu abangcwele bodwa banokuhlaziya ubuntu. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha lweHlabathi ka-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit

Kuba wonke umntu ocelayo, uyazuza; nalowo ufunayo, uyafumana; nalowo unkqonkqozayo, uya kuvulelwa…. wobeka phi na ke yena uYihlo osemazulwini ukubanika uMoya oyiNgcwele abo bamcelayo... (Luka 11: 10-13)
