Yintoni purgatory? AbaNgcwele basixelela
Inyanga enikelwe kwabafileyo:
- iya kuzisa isiqabu kuloo miphefumlo ithandekayo kunye nengcwele, ngokusikhuthaza ukuba sibaxhase;
- kuya kuba yingenelo kuthi, ekubeni ukuba ingcamango yesihogo inceda ukuphepha isono sokufa, ingcinga yentlambululo-miphefumlo isisusa kwinyama yenyama;
- iya kuzukisa uYehova, ekubeni iparadesi iya kuvulela imiphefumlo emininzi eya kuvuma indumiso nendumiso kuYehova ngonaphakade.
Intlambululo-miphefumlo yimeko yokuhlanjululwa apho, emva kokufa, imiphefumlo eye yadlulela kobunye ubomi okanye isohlwayo esithile ekusafuneka siyenze, okanye enezono ezibuhlungu ezingekaxolelwa, izifumana.
USt. Thomas uthi: «Kubhaliwe ngoBulumko ukuba akukho nto ingcolileyo ifunyenwe kubo. Ngoku umphefumlo uzidyobha ngokuchanekileyo ngesono, onokuthi uzihlambulule kuso, nangona kunjalo, ngokuguquka. Kodwa kaninzi kwenzeka ukuba isohlwayo esipheleleyo nesipheleleyo ayenziwa emhlabeni. Kwaye ke umntu udlulela ngonaphakade ezisa amatyala kunye noBulungisa obuNgcwele: ekubeni abasoloko betyhola kwaye becekisa zonke izono ezibuhlungu; yaye isohlwayo esibangelwa sisono esinzulu okanye esibuhlungu asisoloko sicocwa ngokupheleleyo xa sisivuma. Kwaye ke le miphefumlo ayifanelanga isihogo; kananjalo abanakungena ezulwini; kuyimfuneko ukuba kubekho indawo yokuxolelwa, kwaye le ntlawulo yenziwa ngokugqithisileyo okanye ngaphantsi kwesohlwayo, ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi kwexesha elide ».
“Xa umntu ehlala nentliziyo yakhe emhlabeni, ngaba unokuluguqula ngokukhawuleza uthando lwakhe? Umlilo ohlambululayo kufuneka udle ubunqambi bothando; ukuze umlilo wothando lobuthixo uvuthe abasikelelweyo.
Xa umntu enokholo olomeleleyo, oluphantse lwacima, yaye umphefumlo uphila ngokungathi ubhijelwe kukungazi nasethunzini ukhokelwa yimigaqo yasemhlabeni, unokukuthwala njani ngequbuliso oko kukhanya kuphakame kakhulu, kuqaqambe kakhulu, okungafikelelekiyo, okuyiNkosi? NgePurgatory amehlo akhe aya kuthi ngokuthe ngcembe enze utshintsho ukusuka ebumnyameni ukuya ekukhanyeni okungunaphakade ».
Intlambululo-miphefumlo yimeko apho imiphefumlo ebandayo isenza umnqweno ongcwele wokuba ngamaxesha onke yaye kuphela kunye noThixo.” Intlambululo-miphefumlo yimeko apho uThixo, ngowona msebenzi wobulumko nowenceba, enze imiphefumlo ibe mihle ize igqibelele. Kukho ukubamba kokugqibela kwebrashi; apho umsebenzi wokugqibela wetshiseli ukuze umphefumlo ukufanele ukuhlala kwiiholo zasezulwini; apho isandla sokugqibela ukuze umphefumlo uqholwe ngokupheleleyo kwaye uqholwe ngeGazi leNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu kwaye wamkelwe ngevumba elimnandi nguBawo waseZulwini. Intlambululo-miphefumlo bubulungisa nenceba yobuthixo ngaxeshanye; njengokuba yonke imfihlelo yeNtlalo ngaxeshanye ibubulungisa nenceba. NguThixo owenza umsebenzi lowo umphefumlo wawungenamdla wokuwenza ngokwawo emhlabeni.
Ukukhululwa kwintolongo yomzimba, umphefumlo ngokujonga nje okukodwa uya kwamkela yonke into kunye nomntu ngamnye izenzo zayo zangaphakathi nezangaphandle, kunye nazo zonke iimeko ababehamba nazo. Uya kuphendula ngayo yonke into, kwanangelizwi elingento, nokuba lalithethwe kwiminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe ngaphambili. “Ngomhla womgwebo wonke amazwi angenasiseko baya kuphendula abantu. Ngomhla womgwebo, izono ziya kungqineka ngathi zinzulu ngakumbi kunasebudeni bobomi, njengoko njengomvuzo osesikweni izidima ziya kuqaqamba ngokuqaqamba ngakumbi.
UStefano wenkolo ogama linguStefano wathwalwa ngomoya wasiwa enkundleni kaThixo, wathotywa kwingqaqambo esekhukweni lokufa, xa waphazamiseka ngokukhawuleza waza waphendula umthetheleli ongabonakaliyo. Abazalwana bakhe bonqulo, ababerhangqe ibhedi, baphulaphula ngoloyiko kwezi mpendulo: - Ndenza, yinyaniso, esi senzo, kodwa ndazibophelela kwiminyaka emininzi yokuzila ukutya. - Andiyikhanyeli loo nto, kodwa ndiyilile iminyaka emininzi. Oku kuseyinyani, kodwa kwiNtlawulo ndikhonze ummelwane wam iminyaka emithathu eqhubekayo. - Emva koko, emva komzuzwana wokuthula, wadanduluka: - Ah! kule ngongoma andinanto yokuphendula; Undimangalela ngokufanelekileyo, kodwa andinanto yokuziphendulela ngaphandle kokuzincomela kwinceba kaThixo engunaphakade.
UJohn Climacus, onikela ingxelo yesi sibakala awaba lingqina lokuzibonela laso, usazisa ukuba olo nqulo lwaluphile iminyaka engamashumi amane kumzi wakhe woonongendi, nokuba wayenesiphiwo sokuthetha ngeelwimi namanye amalungelo amaninzi abalaseleyo, awathi ezinye iimonki zazihambele phambili kude lee. .ngenxa yomzekelo wobomi bakhe nangenxa yokuqaqadeka kwezohlwayo zakhe, yaye uqukumbela ngala mazwi: “Andonwabanga! ndiya kuba yintoni na kwaye ndiya kuba nako ukuthembela ngantoni na, ukuba unyana wentlango nowokuguquka ufumene ukuzimela ngenxa yezono ezimbalwa?
Umntu wayekhula imihla ngemihla esidimani, yaye ngokuthembeka kwakhe ngokuhambelana nobabalo lukaThixo waye wafikelela kwinqanaba lemfezeko ephakame kakhulu, xa waye wagula kakhulu. Umntakwabo, uGiovanni Battista Tolomei osikelelekileyo, owayesisityebi ngokufanelekileyo phambi koThixo, wayengenako ukufumana impiliso yakhe ngayo yonke imithandazo yakhe enyanisekileyo; ke ngoko wafumana iisakramente zokugqibela ngokuhlonela okushukumayo, kwaye kamsinya nje ngaphambi kokuba afe waba nombono apho wabona indawo eyayigcinelwe yena kwiNtlambululo-miphefumlo, njengesohlwayo ngenxa yeziphene awayengafundisiswanga ngokwaneleyo ukuze azilungise ebudeni bobomi bakhe; kwangaxeshanye iintuthumbo ezahlukahlukeneyo eyathi imiphefumlo iphantsi kwazo zabonakaliswa kuye; emva koko wabhubha ezincoma kwimithandazo yomzalwana wakhe ongcwele.
Ngoxa isidumbu sasisiwa ekungcwatyweni, uYohane uMbhaptizi osikelelekileyo esondela ngasebhokisini, wayalela udade wabo ukuba avuke, yaye yena, phantse wavuka ebuthongweni obunzulu, wabuyela ebomini ngommangaliso omangalisayo. Ngexesha lokuqhubeka kwakhe ephila emhlabeni, loo mphefumlo ungcwele wathetha ngomgwebo kaThixo izinto ezinjengokungcangcazelisa umntu, kodwa eyona nto yayingqina ubunyaniso bamazwi akhe yayibubomi awayebuphila. .ekubeni yena, enganelisekanga bubugxwayiba bakhe obuqhelekileyo kubo bonke abanye abangcwele, njengokuba kwakuya kuba njalo imilindelo, iihempe zeenwele, ukuzila ukutya, noqeqesho, wavelisa iimfihlelo ezintsha zokungcungcuthekisa umzimba wakhe.
Yaye ekubeni maxa wambi wayengcikivwa yaye ebekek’ ityala ngenxa yoku, ebawa njengoko wayenjalo ngenxa yokuthotywa nokuchaswa, akazange akhathazeke konke konke, yaye kwabo babemngcikiva wayephendula esithi: Owu! ukuba ububazi ubungqongqo bemigwebo kaThixo, ubungayi kuthetha ngolo hlobo!
Kwi-Creed of the Apostles sithi uYesu Kristu emva kokufa kwakhe "wehla waya esihogweni". «Igama lesihogo, itsho iCatechism yeBhunga laseTrent, lithetha ezo ndawo zifihlakeleyo, apho imiphefumlo engekalufumani ulonwabo olungunaphakade ibanjwa. Enye intolongo emnyama nemnyama, apho imiphefumlo yabachasayo ihlala ihlushwa, kunye nemimoya engcolileyo, ngomlilo ongacimiyo. Le ndawo, isihogo ngokwaso, isabizwa ngokuba yigehena nenzonzobila.
«Kukho esinye isihogo, apho umlilo wePuratory ufunyanwa khona. Kuyo imiphefumlo yamalungisa iyabandezeleka ixesha elithile, ukuze ihlanjululwe ngokupheleleyo, ngaphambi kokuba ivule indlela yokungena kwilizwe lasezulwini; kuba akukho nto idyojweyo ibingenakungena kuwo.
«Isihogo sesithathu seso esamkelwa kuso imiphefumlo yabangcwele ngaphambi kokufika kukaYesu Kristu, yaza yafumana ukuphumla okuseluxolweni, kungenantlungu, ithuthuzelwa yaye ixhaswa lithemba lentlawulelo yabo. Yiloo miphefumlo ingcwele eyayilindele uYesu Krestu esifubeni sika-Abraham kwaye yakhululwa xa wehla waya esihogweni. Wandula ke uMsindisi ngequbuliso wabaneka ukukhanya okuqaqambileyo phakathi kwabo, okwabazalisa ngovuyo olungenakubaliswa waza wabenza banandiphe ulonwabo lolongamo olwalufumaneka embonweni kaThixo.” Landula ke elo dinga likaYesu kwisela lazaliseka: “Namhlanje niya kuphila ngonaphakade. ube nam eParadesi "[Luka 23,43]".
«Imvakalelo enokwenzeka kakhulu, utsho uSt. Thomas, kwaye ngaphezu koko ivumelana namazwi abaNgcwele kunye nezityhilelo ezithile, kukuba ukukhutshwa kwePuratory kuya kubakho indawo ephindwe kabini. Eyokuqala yayiza kujoliswa ngokubanzi kwimiphefumlo, kwaye ibekwe ngezantsi, kufuphi nesihogo; eyesibini iya kuba yeyamatyala athile, kwaye uninzi lweembonakalo beziya kuphuma kulo ».
USt. Bernard, xa wayebhiyozela uMthendeleko oNgcwele kwicawa emi kufuphi neMithombo Emithathu yeSt. apho imiphefumlo kwindawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo kwaye iyikhokelela yonke intle eParadesi.
