I-homily epheleleyo kaPapa Francis kwi-Urbi et Orbi engaqhelekanga
“Kwakuhlwa” ( Marko 4:35 ). Isiqendu seVangeli esisandul’ ukusiva siqala ngolu hlobo. Kuhlwile iiveki ngoku. Ubumnyama obuthe qwele ezitratweni zethu, nasezitratweni zethu, nemizi yethu; buthabathe ubomi bethu, buzalise yonke into ngokuthula okungevayo kunye nesithuba esibuhlungu, esimisa yonke into njengoko idlula; siyayiva emoyeni, siyiqaphela kwizijekulo zabantu, inkangeleko yabo iyayikhupha. Sizifumana sisoyika kwaye silahlekile. Njengabafundi beVangeli, safikelwa siso siqhwithela esasingalindelekanga. Saqonda ukuba sikwiphenyane elinye, sonke siethe-ethe kwaye sididekile, kodwa kwangaxeshanye kubalulekile kwaye kuyimfuneko, sonke sibizelwe ukubheqa kunye, ngamnye kuthi ufuna ukuthuthuzela omnye. Kweli phenyane... sithi sonke. Kanye njengabo bafundi, ngokuxhalaba bathetha ngazwi-nye linye, besithi, “Siyatshabalala” (indima 38).
Kulula ukuba siziqaphele kweli bali. Eyona nto ekunzima ukuyiqonda sisimo sengqondo sikaYesu.* Ngoxa abafundi bakhe bothukile yaye bephelelwe lithemba, ufunyanwa ngasemva, kwinxalenye yesikhephe ezika kuqala. Kwaye wenza ntoni? Nangona kukho isaqhwithi, ulala ubuthongo, ethembele kuBawo; eli kuphela kwexesha kwiiVangeli apho sibona uYesu elele. Xa evuka, emva kokuwuzolisa umoya namanzi, uphethukela kubafundi bakhe ngelizwi elingcikivayo esithi: “Yini na ukuba nibe ngamagwala? Ngaba awunalo ukholo? ” (indima 40).
Makhe sizame ukuqonda. Ukuswela ukholo kwabafundi kubandakanya ntoni, ngokwahlukileyo kwintembelo kaYesu? Babengayekanga ukukholelwa kuye; enyanisweni, bammema. Kodwa makhe sibone ukuba bakubiza njani na ukuthi: “Nkosi, akukhathali na, nokuba siyatshabalala? (kwivesi 38). Awukhathali: bacinga ukuba uYesu akanamdla kubo, abakhathali. Enye yezona zinto zisikhathaza kakhulu thina neentsapho zethu xa sisiva yile: “Awundikhathalelanga?” Libinzana elibuhlungu kwaye likhupha izaqhwithi ezintliziyweni zethu. Oko kwakuya kumothusa noYesu, kuba yena usikhathalele ngaphezu kwakhe nabani na. Eneneni, emva kokuba bememe, wabasindisa abafundi bakhe ekudimazekeni kwabo.
Uqhwithela sibhenca ukuba sesichengeni kwethu kwaye sityhila ezo ngqiniseko zingeyonyani nezigqithileyo apho sakhe khona iinkqubo zethu zemihla ngemihla, iiprojekthi zethu, imikhwa yethu kunye nezinto eziphambili. Isibonisa indlela esiye savumela ngayo izinto ezondla, ezixhasayo nezomeleza ubomi bethu noluntu ukuba lube buthuntu kwaye lube buthathaka. Uqhwithela lubhentsisa zonke iimbono zethu ebesele zipakishwe kwangaphambili kunye nokulibala oko kondla imiphefumlo yabantu bethu; zonke ezo nzame zisidambisayo ngeendlela zokucinga nokwenza ezithi “ziyasisindisa”, kodwa endaweni yoko zingqineke zingenakho ukusidibanisa neengcambu zethu nokugcina inkumbulo yabo beza ngaphambi kwethu. Siyazibandeza amajoni omzimba esiwadingayo ukuze sijongane nobunzima.
Kwesi saqhwithi, i-facade yezo nkolelo-mbono esiye sazifihla ngayo i-egos yethu, ehlala sixhalabile ngomfanekiso wethu, iye yawa, yafumanisa kwakhona ukuba (isikelelwe) yinto eqhelekileyo, esingenako ukuvinjwa: ukuba kwethu njengabazalwana noodade.
Yini na ukuba woyike? Ngaba awunalo ukholo? “Nkosi, ilizwi lakho ngobu busuku liyasichaphazela kwaye lisikhathaza sonke. Kweli hlabathi, olithanda ngaphezu kwethu, siqhubele phambili ngesantya esiphezulu, siziva sinamandla kwaye sinako ukwenza nantoni na. Ukunyolukela inzuzo, sibambeka kwizinto kwaye sitsalwe ngokungxama. Asizange sikuyeke ukungcikiva kwakho, asizange sigungqiswe ziimfazwe nokungekho sikweni ehlabathini lonke, yaye asizange siphulaphule isikhalo samahlwempu okanye isijikelezi-langa sethu esigulayo. Saqhubeka nokuba kunjalo, sicinga ukuba siya kuhlala sisempilweni kwihlabathi eligulayo. Ngoku siselwandle oluvuthuzayo, siyakubongoza: “Vuka, Nkosi!”.
Yini na ukuba woyike? Ngaba awunalo ukholo? “Nguwe, Nkosi, osibizayo, usibizele elukholweni; Nto leyo ayikuko ukukholelwa kakhulu ukuba ukho, kodwa ukuza kuwe kwaye uthembele kuwe. Le Nzila ivakala ngokungxamisekileyo: “Guqukani!”, “Buyelani kum ngentliziyo yenu yonke” ( Yoweli 2:12 ). Usibizela ukuba silibambe eli xesha lokuvavanywa njengexesha lokuzikhethela. Ayiloxesha lokugweba kwakho, kodwa ngumbono wethu: ixesha lokukhetha okubalulekileyo kunye nokudlulayo, ixesha lokwahlula okuyimfuneko kwinto engekhoyo. Lixesha lokuba sibuyisele ubomi bethu emgceni njengoko bubhekisa Kuwe, Nkosi, nabanye. Sinokukhangela kumaqabane amaninzi angumzekelo kolu hambo, abathi, nangona babesoyika, basabela ngokunikela ngobomi babo. La ngamandla oMoya athululwayo kwaye abunjwe ekubeni yinkalipho nesisa sokuzincama. Bubomi basemoyeni obunokuthi bukhulule, buphucule kwaye bubonise indlela ubomi bethu obuthungelana ngayo kwaye buxhaswe ngabantu abaqhelekileyo - abadla ngokulityalwa - abangaveli kwizihloko eziphambili zamaphephandaba kunye neemagazini okanye kwiindlela ezinkulu zomdlalo wamva nje, kodwa ngubani ngokungathandabuzekiyo kule mihla babhala iziganeko ezibalulekileyo kwixesha lethu: oogqirha, abongikazi, abasebenzi beevenkile ezinkulu, abacoci, abakhathaleli, ababoneleli ngezothutho, ii-arhente zogcino-mthetho namavolontiya, amavolontiya, abefundisi, amadoda nabafazi bonqulo kunye nabanye abaninzi ababeqonda ukuba akukho mntu ufikelela elusindisweni yedwa. Xa sijongene nokubandezeleka okungaka, apho uphuhliso lokwenyani lwabantu bethu luvavanywayo, sifumana umthandazo wobubingeleli kaYesu: “Ngamana bonke babe banye” ( Yoh 17:21 ). Bangaphi abantu mihla le ababonisa umonde baze banike ithemba, bekulumkele ukuba bangahlwayeli ukuphakuzela kodwa babe nembopheleleko ekwabelwana ngayo. Bangaphi ootata, oomama, ootatomkhulu nootishala ababonisa abantwana bethu, ngemiqondiso emincinci yemihla ngemihla, indlela yokujongana nokujongana nengxaki ngokulungisa iindlela zabo zesiqhelo, bajonge phezulu kwaye bakhuthaze umthandazo. Bangaphi abathandazayo, abanikelayo nabathandazela okulungileyo kubo bonke. Umthandazo kunye nenkonzo ethe cwaka: ezi zizixhobo zethu zoloyiso.
Yini na ukuba woyike? Aninalo ukholo”? Ukholo luqala xa sibona ukuba siyalufuna usindiso. Asikwazi ukuzimela; thina baseki sisodwa: siyayifuna iNkosi, njengokuba babeziswele iinkwenkwezi iinqanawa zamandulo. Masimeme uYesu kwiinqanawa zobomi bethu. Sinikezela kuye uloyiko lwethu ukuze aloyise. Njengabafundi, siya kubona ukuba xa ekhwele naye akayi kwaphukelwa yinqanawa. Ngokuba lingamandla kaThixo lawo: ukuguqula izinto zonke ezisizelayo, zibe zezilungileyo, kwanangobubi. Zisa uxolo kwiinkqwithela zethu, kuba kuThixo ubomi abufi.
INkosi iyasibuza kwaye, phakathi kwesaqhwithi sethu, iyasimema ukuba sivuke kwaye sisebenzise olo manyano nethemba elikwaziyo ukunika amandla, inkxaso kunye nentsingiselo kwezi yure apho yonke into ibonakala ihexa. INkosi ivusa ukuba ivuselele kwaye ivuselele ukholo lwethu lwePasika. Sineankile: sisindisiwe ngomnqamlezo wakhe. Sinomkhuseli: sihlawulelwe ngomnqamlezo wakhe. Sinethemba: ngomnqamlezo wakhe siphilisiwe kwaye sawolwa ukuze kungabikho nto kwaye kungabikho mntu unokusahlula eluthandweni lwakhe olukhululayo. Phakathi kokuzihlukanisa, xa sibandezeleka ngenxa yokungabi nabubele kunye nokuba nethuba lokuhlangana, kwaye sifumana ilahleko yezinto ezininzi, siva kwakhona isaziso esisisindisayo: uvukile kwaye uphilela icala lethu. . INkosi isicela emnqamlezweni wayo ukuba siphinde sifumane ubomi obusilindeleyo, sijonge kwabo bajonge kuthi, bomeleze, baqonde kwaye bakhuthaze ubabalo oluhlala ngaphakathi kwethu. Masingalicimi idangatye elidangazelayo (cf. Isaya 42:3) elingagungqiyo kwaye sivumele ithemba livuselelwe.
Ukwamkela umnqamlezo wakhe kuthetha ukufumana inkalipho yokwamkela bonke ubunzima bexesha langoku, ukulahla okomzuzwana ulangazelelo lwethu lwamandla nezinto esinazo ukuze senze indawo yokuyila enokuphenjelelwa nguMoya kuphela. Kuthetha ukufumana isibindi sokudala iindawo apho wonke umntu unokuqonda ukuba babiziwe kwaye bavumele iindlela ezintsha zobubele, ubuzalwana kunye nomanyano. Ngomnqamlezo wakhe sisindisiwe ukuba samkele ithemba kwaye sivumele ukuba someleze kwaye sixhase onke amanyathelo kunye nazo zonke iindlela ezinokuthi zisincede sizikhusele thina kunye nabanye. Ukuwola iNkosi ukwamkela ithemba: la ngamandla okholo, asikhululayo ekoyikeni kwaye asinike ithemba.
Yini na ukuba woyike? Aninalo ukholo”? Bazalwana noodade abathandekayo, kule ndawo ithetha ngokholo oluqinileyo lukaPetros, ngale ngokuhlwa ndithanda ukunibeka eNkosini, ngomthandazo kaMariya, Impilo yabantu kunye neNkwenkwezi yolwandle oluvuthuzayo. Ukusuka kule varanda ibandakanya iRoma kunye nehlabathi liphela, ngamana intsikelelo kaThixo ingehlela phezu kwakho njengokuwolana okuthuthuzelayo. Nkosi, wanga ungasikelela umhlaba, unike impilo emizimbeni yethu kwaye uthuthuzele iintliziyo zethu. Usicela ukuba singoyiki. Ukanti ukholo lwethu lubuthathaka kwaye siyoyika. Ke wena, Yehova, akuyi kusishiya kwiimfesane zesaqhwithi. Sixelele kwakhona: “Musa ukoyika” (Mt 28, 5). Kwaye thina, kunye noPetros, "sibeka phezu kwenu onke amaxhala ethu, ngenxa yokuba nixhalabile ngathi" (bona i-1 Pt 5, 7).
