Ukukhawuleza ngokomoya
Ngokumangalisayo, ngaphandle kwalo mthandazo wokungenisa, iiByzantine kunqabile ukuba zibuyele kuMoya oyiNgcwele ngexesha lenkonzo. Endaweni yoko, imithandazo ibhekiswa kuYise nakuKristu, iphetha nge-doxology ebabiza bobathathu abantu kwi-Holy Trinity.
Kwisiko laseByzantine, ubukho bukaMoya oyiNgcwele emthandazweni kuthathwa endaweni yokucela. Ingoma ethi "UKumkani wasezulwini, uMthuthuzeli" ubhengeza nje intshukumisa kaPauline kuyo yonke imithandazo yamaKrestu:
"Kuba asiyazi into emasiyithandazele njengoko kufanelekile, kodwa uMoya ngokwakhe uyasithethelela ngokugcuma okungathethekiyo" (KwabaseRoma 8:26).
Kunye nompostile, isithethe saseByzantium sithi yonke imithandazo yenziwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
Kodwa ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele ufihliwe kwi-Divine Liturgy, iba ngakumbi ngakumbi phakathi kwemithendeleko ye-Ascension ngoLwesine nangeCawa yePentekoste. Ngeli xesha, iturgy yaseByzantine yeqa "uKumkani wasezulwini, uMthuthuzeli" ekuqaleni kweenkonzo. Ngobusuku bePentekoste iyabuya kwakhona, iculwe kwindawo yayo yantlandlolo ngexesha leVespers.
AbaseByzantium "bayakhawuleza" ekuculeni le ngoma, kanye njengokuba "bekhawulezile" ekubhiyozeleni iLitheti Lobuthixo phakathi evekini ngexesha leNzila. Kuba i-Divine Liturgy ikhumbula uVuko, siyigcina ngeLente kuphela ngeeCawa ukondla umnqweno omkhulu wePasika, umthendeleko wemithendeleko. Kwangokunjalo, ukuyeka "uMthuthuzeli weKumkani yaseZulwini" kukhulisa umnqweno wePentekoste.
Ngale ndlela, abathembekileyo banokuqonda ngcono ukuba ukuzila ukutya kunqulo lwasesidlangalaleni, nangona kungeyonto iqhelekileyo, kuyanceda ekuvuseleleni umnqweno wethu wale liturgy inye kunye nokudibana noThixo okubonelelayo.
Umoya othobekileyo
Oku kungabikho kwi-liturgy kukwasinceda ukuba siqaphele. Ngelixa ukutya ukutya kusikhumbuza ngokulambela kwethu uThixo, ukuyeka ukuculela uMoya oyiNgcwele kusinceda sinikele ingqalelo kwimfuno yethu kuye ebomini bethu.
Kodwa ngumsebenzi onzima ukuthathela ingqalelo, kuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uthobekile. Ngokuthobeka kwakhe usebenza ngabantu, efihla ukusebenza kwakhe phantsi kwesandla sezandla zomntu. KwiZenzo zabaPostile, uMoya oyiNgcwele ngumlinganiswa ophambili, osebenza kwisahluko ngasinye ukusukela oko iilwimi zomlilo zafika kwigumbi eliphezulu. Khuthaza uPetros ekushumayeleni kwakhe. Ubongoza ababingeleli ukuba bakhethe abadikoni bokuqala. Ihamba nebandla lokuqala ukuqonda ulwaluko. Khuthaza uPawulos emsebenzini wakhe wokuseka iindawo zokuhlala zamaKristu. UMoya oyiNgcwele ukhetha ukugqibezela umsebenzi wakhe ngezi zitya zodongwe.
NgeCawa phakathi kwe-Ascension kunye nePentekoste, i-Byzantines ikhumbula iBhunga lokuQala laseNicaea, umthendeleko woMoya oyiNgcwele ngokwawo. Ngokusebenzisa ooBawo beBhunga, uMoya oyiNgcwele utyhila inyaniso ngoThixo, usinika isivumo sokholo saseNicaea. OoBawo beBhunga "ngamaxilongo oMoya" athi "phakathi kweCawa acule ngazwinye, efundisa ukuba uZiqu-zintathu mnye, ongafaniyo ngobuThixo okanye kubuThixo" (Festive Hymn of Vespers).
Isivumo sokholo sichaza ngokuchanekileyo ukuba ungubani na uKristu. NguThixo oyinyaniso ovela kuThixo oyinyaniso, onguYise ofanayo. UMoya oyiNgcwele "ngumoya wenyaniso" kwaye uyayingqina iNicaea into yokuba uYesu akangomntu oxokayo. UBawo noNyana banye, kwaye nalowo umbonileyo uNyana umbonile noBawo. Imfundiso ephefumlelweyo iyasiqinisekisa ukuba uThixo esimnqulayo ecaweni ikwanguye uThixo owaziwayo ngeZibhalo. Oku kugxininisa imodeli yokuthobeka ebonakalisa uMoya oyiNgcwele. KwiNkolo, uMoya oyiNgcwele akazivezi, kodwa ubonakalisa uNyana. Ngokunjalo, ngokuthobekileyo ulinde ukuthunyelwa evela ezulwini, wathenjiswa nguKristu.
Ngokuthobeka kwakhe, uMoya oyiNgcwele usebenza endaweni yabo bonke abantu. UMoya oyiNgcwele ukhona ukunika ubomi kwabanye kwaye "unkcenkceshela yonke indalo ukuze bonke baphile kuye" (iculo laseByzantium Matins, ithoni 4). UMoya oyiNgcwele uzalisekisa umnqweno kaMoses wokuba wonke uSirayeli abe ngabaprofeti (Amanani 11:29). ICawe nguSirayeli omtsha, kwaye amalungu ayo angcwele ayimpendulo kwisicelo sikaMoses: "NgoMoya oyiNgcwele, bonke abahlonelwayo bayabona kwaye baprofethe" (Byzantine Hymn of the Byzantine Morning, tone 8).
Ke ngoko, ekufuneni uMoya oyiNgcwele, kokubini kuMthendeleko woluntu nasekuzinikeleni ngasese, sifunda ukuthobeka kumzekelo ophakamileyo wentobeko, ngaloo ndlela sizilungiselela ngcono ngelixesha lobhubhane kunye nokuchacha ukuze samkele uMoya oyiNgcwele ezintliziyweni zethu naphakathi wethu.
Isityhilelo se-Ekaristi
Ewe, uMoya oyiNgcwele usityhilela ngokusondeleyo uThixo phakathi kwethu, usinika umoya wokwamkelwa njengoonyana neentombi. Ingxaki kukuba ngelixa sifumana ubuntwana eMoyeni ngexesha lokubhaptizwa, sichitha ubomi bethu ngokuzithoba sifumana obu bungqina. Kufuneka "sidibane" ngokwenyani, sifumanise ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba singoobani: oonyana neentombi zikaThixo.
Umoya wokwamkelwa komntwana othile uhlala ngokugqibeleleyo kwitafile ye-Ekaristi. Umbingeleli ubiza uMoya oyiNgcwele kwi-epiclesis, kuqala "phezu kwethu" emva koko "kwezi zipho ziphambi kwethu". Lo mthandazo waseByzantium ugxininisa injongo ye-Ekaristi yokuguqula kungekuphela isonka newayini, kodwa mna nawe, kwiQumrhu nakwiGazi likaKristu.
Ngoku, xa iicawa zibuyela kumthendeleko oqhelekileyo wesidlo se-Ekaristi, abaninzi banenkxalabo malunga nokungabikho komzimba kwi-Ekaristi. Sinokuziva ngathi singoonyana okanye iintombi. Ngeli xesha lokuvalelwa yedwa, asikaze sihluthwe isidlo soMoya oyiNgcwele. Wahlala nathi, evakalisa ukugcuma kwethu, elungele ukunciphisa umnqweno weNkosi yethu ye-Ekaristi.
Ngokubanzi kunxibelelene nendlu, sinokuthelekisa ixesha lethu neCenacle, apho sibona khona uYesu entliziyweni yakhe: uhlamba iinyawo zakhe, aveze amanxeba kwaye aqhekeze isonka kunye nabahlobo bakhe. Emva koNyuko, abafundi baphinde bahlanganiswa kwiCenacle kwaye bamenywa kuhlobo olwahlukileyo lokusondela kuMoya oyiNgcwele ngePentekoste.
Kwigumbi lethu eliphezulu, sinandipha ukusondelelana okufanayo. Kufuneka sithathe inxaxheba kwisidlo soMoya oyiNgcwele. Umzekeliso wonyana wolahleko usinika iindlela ezimbini zokusondela kule tafile. Singasondela njengoko esenza unyana wolahleko, ngenguquko ethobekileyo, kwaye sonwabele itheko. Sikwanokukhetha kunyana wamazibulo, okhetha incasa yobukrakra kunethole elityetyisiweyo phambi kwakhe kwaye uhlala ecaleni kwetheko.
Ukubekwa yedwa kungangumthendeleko woMoya oyiNgcwele-ixesha lokuqonda ubukho bakhe obuthobekileyo, ukuvuselelwa ngenzondelelo yabapostile, kunye nokukhuthazwa ukuba wakhe iBandla kwakhona. Ipilisi ekrakra yonyana omkhulu kunzima ukuginya; inokusityhafisa ukuba siyayishiya. Kodwa, kunye noDavide, sinokubuza kwindumiso yakhe egqibeleleyo yokuguquka: "Musa ukusibambezela uMoya oyiNgcwele ... ukuze ndifundise abenzi bobubi ukuba iindlela zakho naboni bakho babuyele kuwe" (Ndumiso 51:11; 13).
Ukuba sivumela uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba enze lo msebenzi, amava ethu entlango anokuqhakaza egadini.
