Zithini izohlwayo zePurigatori?
OoBawo basixelela ngokubanzi:
S. Cirillo: «Ukuba zonke iintlungu, yonke iminqamlezo, zonke iinkxwaleko zelizwe zinokumelwa kwaye zithelekiswe nembandezelo yePurigatori, ziyakuba mnandi ngenxa yokuthelekisa. Ukuthintela iPurgatory, bonke ububi obenziwa nguAdam ukuza kuthi ga ngoku baya kunyamezelwa. Iintlungu zePurgatari zibuhlungu kangangokuba zikwanokulinganisa iintlungu ezifana nesihogo kwinto acerbity: zona ziyalingana. Mnye kuphela umahluko ogqithileyo phakathi kwabo: wokuba abo besihogo banaphakade, abo basePurigatori bazophela. " Iintlungu zobomi zangoku zivunyelwe nguThixo ngenceba yakhe ukukhulisa i-merits; izohlwayo zePurigatori zenziwe kukungalunganga kobulungisa bukaThixo.
USan Beda Venerabile, omnye wootata abafundileyo beCawa yaseNtshona, ubhala athi: «Masithathe amacala phambi kwamehlo azo zonke iinkxwaleko ezoyikisayo ezenziwa ngabacinezeli ukuba bathuthuzele abo babulala ukholo: izilwanyana ezinqamlezayo kunye neminqamlezo, amavili kunye nesarha, iigrill kunye ne-pitch yokubilisa kunye ne-boilers ekhokelayo, iigwegwe zensimbi kunye nepincers ezishushu, njl. njl .; ngayo yonke le nto asizukuba nalo mbono wezohlwayo zePurigatori ». Abafeli-nkolo babengabanyuliweyo awathi uThixo waziva esemlilweni; Ukuhlambulula imiphefumlo kubandezeleka kuphela ekukhonzeni isohlwayo.
Ist. Augustine kunye no-St. Ngoku khawufane ucinge ukuba yeyiphi eyona ntlungu iqatha siyifumeneyo: umzekelo, emazinyweni; okanye ezona ntlungu zinamandla zokuziphatha okanye zomzimba eziye zihlangane nabanye, nkqu nentlungu ekwaziyo ukufa. Well: izohlwayo zePurattery zingaphaya kokumilisa. Kwaye ke uSt. Catherine waseGenoa ubhala athi: "Ukucoca imiphefumlo ngamava ahluphekileyo olungenakuchazwa lulwimi lomntu, okanye nabuphi na ubukrelekrele bokuqonda, ngaphandle kokuba uThixo uyenza yaziwe ngobubele obukhethekileyo". Ukuba ukuba kwelinye icala banamava aqinisekileyo okuba bakhuselekile, kwelinye icala "intuthuzelo yabo engathethekiyo ayiphelisi intuthumbo yabo nakanye".
Ngokukodwa:
Esona sohlwayo siphambili sesomonakalo. S. Giovanni Gris. uthi: "Beka isigwebo sobubi kwelinye icala, ubeke ikhulu lomlilo wesihogo kwelinye; Yazi ukuba nguyena yedwa omkhulu kunala makhulu. Ngapha koko, imiphefumlo ikude noThixo kwaye iziva uthando olungapheliyo ngotata olungileyo!
Impembelelo engagungqiyo kuye, uThixo wentuthuzelo! ukuxhokonxa uthando oluzisela yonke intliziyo yakhe. Babufuna ubuso bakhe ngaphezu kokuba uAbhisalom wayefuna ukubonakala kuyise owayemgwebile ukuba angaphindi abonakale phambi kwakhe kwakhona. Ukanti baziva belahliwe yiNkosi, bubulungisa bukaThixo, ngobunyulu nangobungcwele bukaThixo.Baye bathobise iintloko zabo bodwa, kodwa bengalahliweyo belusizi, kwaye besithi: Uyakuba ulunge kangakanani endlwini kaBawo! Kwaye banqwenela ukuba kunye noMama othandekayo uMaria, wezalamane esele zisezulwini, zabasikelelekileyo, zeeNgelosi: kwaye bahlala ngaphandle, benosizi, ngaphambi kweminyango evaliweyo yaleparadesi apho ulonwabo kunye noyolo!
Nje ukuba umphefumlo uphume emzimbeni, ihlala ingumnqweno omnye kwaye incwine: ukudibana noThixo, ekuphela kwento efanelwe luthando, ekuthi xa itsalelwa njengentsimbi ngamandla ombane. Kwaye kungenxa yokuba wayekwazi ukulunga kweNkosi, nokonwaba nokuba kunye naye.
USt. Catherine waseGenoa usebenzisa lo mfanekiso mhle: "Ukuba kwihlabathi lonke bekukho kuphela isonka, esinokuthi senze zonke izilwanyana zilambe, kwaye baneliswe kukukubona nje oko: yintoni umnqweno wokuyibona kuwo wonke umntu!" Kodwa ke uThixo uzakuba sisonka sasezulwini esinokwanelisa yonke imiphefumlo emva kobu bomi.
Ke ukuba isonka eso besaliwe; kwaye ngalo lonke ixesha umphefumlo, ukhathazwa yindlala ebuhlungu, wasondela kuyo ukuyingcamla, wawususwa kuyo, kwakuza kwenzeka ntoni? Ukuba ukubaphatha gadalala kungapheli, kuba bekuya kuba sakubambezela ukumbona uThixo wabo. Banqwenela ukuhlala kwitafile eNaphakade, ethenjiswe nguMsulwa kulungisa, kodwa bafumana indlala engathethekiyo.
Unokuyiqonda into yeentlungu zePurigatari ngokucinga ngentlungu yomphefumlo obuthathaka ozikhumbulayo izono zakhe, ukubulela kwakhe eNkosini.
U-St. Louis ohlutha phambi kwesivumo kunye nesinye esimnandi, kodwa esitsho iinyembezi, esindwa luthando kunye nentlungu ezinyaweni zeNtsika, asinike umbono wesohlwayo sobubi. Umphefumlo ubandezeleka kakhulu ngenxa yezono zayo kangangokuba uziva yintlungu ekwaziyo ukwenza intliziyo iqhume kwaye ife, ukuba inokufa. Ukanti usarhoxile kakhulu kule ntolongo, ebengafuni ukusishiya logama nje kukho ingqolowa eshiyekileyo ukuba ayikhonze, kuba leyo yayiyintando kaThixo kwaye ngoku wayeyithanda iNkosi imfezeko. Kodwa uyahlupheka, uhlupheka ngokungachazeki.
Ukanti amanye amaKristu, xa umntu ephelelwe lixesha, makakhwaza phantse ngokukhululeka athi: "Ugqibile ukubandezeleka!". Kulungile ngalo mzuzu nje, kuloo ndawo, umgwebo uyenzeka. Kwaye ngubani owaziyo ukuba loo mphefumlo ungaqali ukubandezeleka?! Kwaye yintoni esiyaziyo malunga nomgwebo kaThixo? Ukuba ukuba ebengasifanelanga isihogo, uqinisekile njani ukuba ebengafaneleki iPuratorion? Ngaphambi kweso sidumbu, kuloo mzuzu xa kugqitywe ingunaphakade, masiguqe sithandaze.
Kwibali likaBawo uStanislao Kostka, eDominican, sifunda le nyaniso ilandelayo, ebhekisa kuyo kuba ibonakala ifanelekile ukusikhuthaza sisoyikeka nje lokubandezeleka kwePurgatory. «Ngenye imini, xa le ngcwele ithandazela abafileyo, yabona umphefumlo, uqwengwe ngamalangatye, owababuza ukuba umlilo ungene njani na kunowomhlaba: Yeha! waphendula ekhwaza ihlwempu, wonke umlilo womhlaba, uthelekiswa nalowo wePurattery, ufana nomoya opholileyo: - Kwaye kutheni le inokwenzeka? yongeza inkolo; Ndingathanda ukuyizama, ngokuxhomekeka ekubeni yandinceda ukuba ndihlawule inxenye yezohlwayo ukuba ngenye imini kuya kufuneka ndibandezeleke ePurgatory. -Akukho mntu ufayo, emva koko waphendulwa loo mphefumlo, unokuthwala ubuncinci bawo, ngaphandle kokuba afe ngoko nangoko; nangona kunjalo, ukuba ufuna ukuqiniseka, wolula isandla sakho. -Kulo mntu ufileyo alahla isithukuthu sakhe, okanye ubuncinci belwelo, ebonakala ukubila, kwaye ngesiquphe isikhalo sakhupha isikhalo esikhulu saze sawa emhlabeni sothuswe, omkhulu ke umsantsa waziva. Iingqungquthela zakhe zeza zibaleka, owathi, egcina lonke ukhathalelo kuye, wabuyela kuye. Ke yena, egcwele lunkwantyo, wasibalisela ngeso sigameko esoyikisayo, awayengqina nokuba ulixhoba, wayiqukumbela intetho yakhe ngala mazwi: Ah! Mawethu, ukuba umntu ngamnye kuthi ubazi ubugqwirha bohlwaywa nguThixo, ngebengonanga; Siyazohlwaya kobu bomi ukuze singakwenzi kwelinye, kuba izohlwayo ezoyikeka; silwe neziphene zethu kwaye sizilungise, (ngakumbi lumkela ifouls ezincinci); uMgwebi wanaphakade uthathela ingqalelo yonke into. Ubungangamsha boThixo bungcwele kangangoba bunokungabinabunzima bukhulu abonyuliweyo.
Emva koko walala, apho wayehlala khona unyaka, phakathi kweembandezelo ezimangalisayo, eveliswa ngenzondelelo yenxeba elalimile esandleni. Phambi kokuba aphulukane waphinda wabongoza ukuvuma kwakhe ukuba akhumbule ubunzima bezulu, emva koko wasweleka ngokwanga kweNkosi.
Umbhali wongeza ukuba lo mzekelo woyikisayo uvuselele inkanuko kuzo zonke izindlu zoonongendi kwaye inkolo yayiba nemincili kwinkonzo kaThixo, ukuze basindiswe kwinto engcungcuthekisayo enjalo.
