Ubomi buyavakala xa benikwa uthando kwabanye, utshilo uPapa uFrancis
Ubomi obuphila ngokuzingca, bonakele okanye obuzele yintiyo bubomi obungenamsebenzi, buyabuna kwaye bufe, utshilo uPope Francis kwintsapho yasekuseni.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ubomi bunentsingiselo kunye nexabiso "kuphela ekunikezeni ngothando, ngenyaniso, ekunikezeni abanye kubomi bemihla ngemihla, kwintsapho", watsho ngoFebruwari 8 kwi-mass yasekuseni kwi-chapel yendawo yakhe yokuhlala. , iDomus Sanctae Marthae.
Kwikhaya lakhe, upopu wacamngca ngabantu abane ekufundweni kweVangeli yosuku kwiNgcwele uMarko ( 6:14-29 ): uKumkani uHerode; umfazi womninawa wakhe, uHerodiya; intombi yakhe, uSalome; noYohane oNgcwele umBhaptizi.
UYesu wayethe “akukho nto inkulu kunoYohane umBhaptizi,” kodwa le ngcwele yayisazi ukuba lowo wayefanele aphakanyiswe aze alandelwe nguKristu, kungekhona yena, watsho njalo upopu.
Ingcwele yayithe, nguMesiya “omele ande; Mandinciphe,” watsho uPopu Francis, wada waphoswa kwisisele esimnyama sentolongo.
“Ukufela ukholo yinkonzo, yimfihlelo, sisipho esikhethekileyo nesibaluleke kakhulu sobomi,” utshilo upopu.
Abo babejongene nokufa kukaYohane uMbhaptizi oNgcwele, nangona kunjalo, babekhohlisiwe okanye baphenjelelwa ngumtyholi, watsho.
Wathi: “Emva kwale mifanekiso nguSathana,” owathi uHerodiya wazala intiyo, uSalome waba lilize noHerode ngokonakala.
“Intiyo inokwenza nantoni na. Ngamandla amakhulu. Intiyo ngumoya kaSathana,” watsho. "Kwaye apho kukho urhwaphilizo, kunzima kakhulu ukuphuma kulo."
UHerode wabanjiswa ngumqobo; wayesazi ukuba kufuneka aguqule iindlela zakhe, kodwa wayengenakukwazi, watsho upopu.
UYohane wayemxelele uHerode ukuba kwakungavumelekanga ukuba atshate umfazi womntakwabo, uHerodiya, owayenenzondo noYohane efuna afe. UHerodiya wayalela intombi yakhe ukuba icele intloko yakhe xa uHerode – eyoyisiwe ngumdaniso kaSalome – emthembisa ngayo yonke into ayifunayo.
Ngoko ke, uYohane uMbhaptizi wabulawa “ngomngqungqo okhukhumeleyo” nangenxa “yentiyo yomfazi ongendawo nokonakala kokumkani oneengcwangu,” watsho njalo upopu.
Ukuba abantu baphilela iziqu zabo kuphela yaye bagcina ubomi babo bukhuselekile, upopu wathi, ngoko “ubomi buyafa, ubomi buyabuna, akuncedi nganto.”
“Ungumfeli-nkolo oyekayo ubomi bakhe bunciphe kancinane kancinane ukuze avulele indawo uMesiya,” yaye uthi: “Ndimele ndinciphe ukuze aviwe, ukuze abonakale, ukuze yena, iNkosi , bonisa."
