Ukwenza umbono we-Covid-19 bhubhane kwisicwangciso sikaThixo
Ukuhambelana kwefayili O'Reilly kunye negama elithi Jobo. Abahlobo bakhe bambuza ukuba ingaba ikho into ayenzileyo ecaphukisa uThixo inokuba ingunobangela wesohlwayo sakhe. Oku kubonakalisa ukucinga kwelo xesha: ukuba uThixo uya kubasindisa abalungileyo ekubandezelekeni kwaye abohlwaye abakhohlakeleyo. U-Job ebesoloko ekhanyela ukuba akukho nto ayenzileyo ayenzileyo.
Ukubuza imibuzo rhoqo kwabahlobo bakhe kwadinisa uYobhi ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba ahendwe ukuba azibuze ukuba kutheni uThixo ezakwenza into enje kuye. U-Thixo wavela esisaqhwithi wathi kuye, “Ngubani lo usitha ingcebiso ngamazwi okungazi? Lungisa izinqe zakho ngoku njengendoda, Ndiza kukubuza imibuzo kwaye uza kundixelela iimpendulo! “Wandula ke uThixo wabuza uYobhi ukuba wayephi na xa wayeka uThixo iziseko zomhlaba kwaye wagqiba nini ubukhulu bazo. UThixo wabuza uYobhi ukuba angayalela na ilanga ukuba liphume kusasa okanye enze ixesha limthobele. Isahluko emva kwesahluko, imibuzo kaThixo ibonisa ukuba mncinci kangakanani umsebenzi kwimeko yokudala. Kunjengokungathi uThixo uthi, "Ungubani wena ukuba ubuze ubulumko bam, wena uyinxalenye encinci yendalo, kwaye ndim umdali wayo okhokela kuwo onke amaphakade kude kube ngunaphakade?"
Kwaye ke sifunda kwiNcwadi kaYobhi ukuba uThixo uyiNkosi yezembali; Yonke into iphantsi kolawulo lwakhe ukuze naxa evumela ukubandezeleka, kwenziwe kuphela kuba kuya kuvelisa okuhle ngakumbi. Umzekelo osebenzayo woku kukuthanda kukaKristu. UThixo wavumela unyana wakhe ekuphela kwakhe ukuba eve iintlungu, ukubandezeleka kunye nokufa okuhlazisayo kunye nokubandezeleka ngenxa yosindiso olunokubakho. Singawusebenzisa lo mthetho-siseko kule meko sikuyo ngoku: UThixo uyabuvumela ubhubhane kuba into elungileyo izakuvela kuyo.
Kungakuhle ntoni oku, singabuza. Asinako ngokupheleleyo ukuyazi ingqondo kaThixo ngokupheleleyo, kodwa usinike ingqondo yokuziqonda. Nazi ezinye zeengcebiso:
Asinakulawula
Sibuphile ubomi bethu sinombono wobuxoki wokuba silawula. Itekhnoloji yethu engaqhelekanga kwisayensi, kumzi mveliso nakwezamayeza isivumela ukuba sandise ngaphaya kobuchule bendalo yomntu-kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo akukho nto iphosakeleyo kuloo nto. Ngapha koko, kulungile! Iya iba gwenxa xa sithembela kwezi zinto zodwa kwaye simlibale uThixo.
Umlutha wemali yenye into. Ngelixa sifuna imali yokuthengisa kunye nokuthenga izinto esizidingayo ukuze siphile, iba yinto engalunganga xa sixhomekeke kuyo ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba siyenze uthixo.
Njengokuba silindele unyango kwaye sisuse lo bhubhane, siyaqonda ukuba asilawuleki. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba uThixo usikhumbuza ukuba sibuyise ukuthembela kwethu kuye hayi kwitekhnoloji nakwizinto eziphathekayo? Ukuba kunjalo, kuya kufuneka sicingisise ngendawo esibeke kuyo uThixo ebomini bethu. Xa uAdam wazifihla kuThixo kumyezo wase-Eden, uThixo wabuza, "Uphi?" (IGenesis 3: 9) Yayingekuko kangako ukuba sazi indawo ahlala kuyo uAdam, kodwa yayiphi intliziyo yakhe ngokunxulumene noThixo. Mhlawumbi uThixo usibuza umbuzo ofanayo ngoku. Iyakuba yintoni impendulo yethu? Silungisa njani ukuba sifuna ukulungiswa?
Siyaliqonda igunya lobhishophu
KumaKatolika amaninzi, indima kabishophu ayaziwa ngokupheleleyo. Ubukhulu becala, ngumphathiswa "oqhwaba" isiqinisekiso kwaye (abanye bacela umthendeleko wokuqinisekisa) "ukuvusa" inkalipho yakhe yokomoya.
Xa izihlwele zaye zarhoxiswa, ngakumbi xa sasinikwa ixesha lokuzibophelela kwimbophelelo yangeCawe (ukuba asidingi kuya kwinkonzo yeCawa kwaye ayisosono), sabona igunya elinikwe ubishophu. Igunya elinikwe nguKrestu kubapostile bakhe, njengoobhishophu bokuqala, kwaye badlula kwizizukulwana ukusuka kubhishophu ukuya kubhishophu ngokulandelelana okungagungqiyo. Uninzi lwethu luye lwaqonda ukuba sikwi-diocese okanye kwi-archdiocese "ephethwe" ngubhishophu. Kufuneka sikhumbule uSt. Ignatius waseAntiyokwe owathi: "Thobela ubishophu wakho!"
Ngaba inganguThixo osikhumbuza ukuba iCawe yakhe inesakhiwo kwaye amandla negunya lakhe banikwe oobhishophu "abaqhuba" idayosisi yabo? Ukuba kunjalo, sifunda ngakumbi ngeCawa awasishiya kuyo uKristu. Siyawuqonda umsebenzi kunye nendima yakhe eluntwini ngeemfundiso zayo zentlalo kunye nendima yayo ekwenzeni ubukho bukaKristu ngeesakramente.
Singavumela iplanethi ukuba inyange
Iingxelo ziyeza zokuba umhlaba uyaphilisa. Kunqabile ukungcoliseka komoya namanzi kwezinye iindawo. Ezinye izilwanyana zibuyela kwindawo yazo yendalo. Njengendidi, sizamile ukuyenza le nto, kodwa khange sikwazi ukuyenza kuba besixakeke kakhulu ziishedyuli zethu. Ngaba le yindlela kaThixo yokuphilisa umhlaba? Ukuba kunjalo, siyayibulela into yokuba le meko izise thina kwaye sisebenzela ukuba umhlaba uphile nokuba sele ubuyele esiqhelweni.
Sinokuyixabisa ngakumbi intuthuzelo yethu kunye nenkululeko
Kuba uninzi lwethu lutshixiwe okanye luhlaliswe lodwa, asinako ukuhamba ngokukhululekileyo. Siva imvakalelo yokuzahlula eluntwini kunye nenkululeko yesiqhelo esiyithathileyo, njengokuya ezivenkileni, ukutya kwindawo yokutyela, okanye ukuya kwitheko lokuzalwa. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba uThixo usivumela ukuba sinandiphe ukuba kunjani ngaphandle kwentuthuzelo kunye nenkululeko encinci? Ukuba kunjalo, mhlawumbi siya kubuxabisa obu bunewunewu kancinci nje xa izinto zibuyela esiqhelweni. Sinamava okuba kunjani ukuba "libanjwa", thina, sityala izixhobo kunye nonxibelelwano, sinokufuna "ukukhulula" abasebenzi abazifumana bekwindawo yokusebenzela eyoyikekayo okanye iinkampani ezicinezelayo.
Sinokulwazi usapho lwethu
Njengokuba indawo zokusebenzela nezikolo zivalwa okwethutyana, kukhuthazwa abazali nabantwana babo ukuba bahlale ekhaya. Ngequbuliso sijongana iiyure ezingamashumi amabini anesine ngosuku kwezi veki zimbalwa zizayo. Ngaba kusenokwenzeka ukuba uThixo ufuna sazi iintsapho zethu? Ukuba kunjalo, kufuneka sithathe ithuba lokunxibelelana nabo. Thatha ixesha lokuthetha-thetha nyani-kwelinye lamalungu osapho lwakho yonke imihla. Kuya kuba nzima ekuqaleni, kodwa kuya kufuneka kuqala kwenye indawo. Kuya kuba lusizi ukuba intamo yomntu wonke ithambekele ezantsi kwiifowuni, izixhobo, nakwimidlalo ngokungathi abanye abantu ekhaya bebengekho.
Sithatha eli thuba ukufumana isidima
Kwabo bahlala bodwa okanye kwiindawo ezivalelekileyo, siyacelwa ukuba siziqhelanise nomphakathi ngokuhlala ekhaya, kwaye ukuba kufuneka sithenge ukutya namayeza, sihlala ubuncinci iinyawo ezintathu kude nomntu olandelayo. Kwezinye iindawo, ukutya esikuthandayo kuphelile kwaye kufuneka sihlale endaweni yoko. Ezinye iindawo zivimbile zonke iindlela zokuhamba ngobuninzi kwaye abantu kufuneka bafumane iindlela zokufumana umsebenzi nokuba oko kuthetha ukuhamba.
Ezi zinto zenza ubomi bube nzima ngakumbi, kodwa ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba uThixo usinika ithuba lokufumana isidima? Ukuba kunjalo, mhlawumbi singazinqanda izikhalazo zethu kwaye sisebenzise umonde. Singaba nobubele obuphindwe kabini kunye nesisa kwabanye nokuba sikhathazekile kwaye sinezinto ezinqabileyo. Sinokuba luvuyo abanye bajonge kulo xa bedimazekile yile meko. Singabonelela ngobunzima esijamelana nabo njengokuzonwabisa okunokunikwa imiphefumlo kwindawo yentlambululo-miphefumlo. Ukubandezeleka esijamelene nako akunakulunga, kodwa singayenza ithethe okuthile.
Sizila ukutya
Kwezinye iindawo ezinezinto ezinqabileyo, iintsapho zibekela ukutya kwazo ixesha elide. Ngokwemvelo, xa silambile kancinci, sikhawulezisa ukulamba. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba uThixo asikhumbuze ukuba nguThixo kwaye hayi izisu zethu? Ukuba kunjalo, siyibona ngokomfuziselo - silawula iminqweno yethu, hayi enye indlela. Singaba novelwano ngabantu abahluphekileyo abangatyi rhoqo ngenxa yokuba indlala yabo siyifumene- sinethemba lokubanika inkuthazo yokubanceda.
Sikhulisa ukulambela inyama kaKristu
Iicawa ezininzi ziye zarhoxisa abantu ukuba zincedise ekulweni ungcoliseko lwentsholongwane. KumaKatolika amaninzi kwihlabathi liphela, ama-XNUMX nangaphantsi, eli mhlawumbi lixesha lokuqala lokudibana nolu hlobo lwamava. Abo baya kwimihla ngemihla okanye ngeCawa rhoqo baziva belahlekile, ngokungathi kukho into engekhoyo. Bangaphi kuthi abanqwenela ukungcolisa imilebe yethu ngomzimba nangegazi likaKrestu kuMthendeleko oNgcwele?
Ngenxa yoko, kukho le ndlala iphumeleleyo kwinani elikhulu lamaKatolika asebenzayo angenakufumana iSakramente. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba sithathe ubukho beNkosi yethu njengesiqhelo-kuphela ukuthatha uMthendeleko oNgcwele-kwaye uThixo uyasikhumbuza ukuba ibaluleke kangakanani i-Ekaristi? Ukuba kunjalo, makhe siqwalasele indlela uMthendeleko ongumthombo kunye nengqungquthela yobomi bobuKrestu kangangokuba zonke iisakramente zimiselwe ngayo
