IVangeli yangomhla we-19 kaSeptemba 2018
Ileta yokuqala kaSt. Paul the Apostle ukuya kwabaseKorinte 12,31.13,1-13.
Bazalwana, nqwenela ezona charism zikhulu! Kwaye ndiza kukubonisa eyona ndlela igqwesileyo.
Ndingafanelana ndithetha ngeelwimi zabantu nezezithunywa zezulu; uthando ke ndingenalo, ndisuke ndaba yixina yobhedu, ehlokomayo, necangci elikhenkcezayo.
Kwaye ukuba bendinesiphiwo sokuprofeta kwaye ndizazi zonke iimfihlakalo nayo yonke inzululwazi, kwaye ndinako ukuzaliseka kokholo lokuthwala iintaba, kodwa ndingenalo uthando, andinto yanto.
Nokuba ndingazisasaza zonke izinto zam ndize ndinike umzimba wam ukuba utshiswe, kodwa andinaso isisa, akukho nto indincedayo.
Uthando luzeka kade umsindo, uthando lunyanisile; Uthando alunamona, alugwagwisi, aludumbisi;
ayifuni intlonelo, ayifuni umdla wakhe, ayifutheki, ayiqwalaseli ububi obufunyenweyo,
Akakonwabeli ukungabikho kobulungisa, kodwa uyakholiswa yinyaniso.
Yonke into igubungela, ikholwa yiyo yonke into, inethemba layo yonke into, inyamezela yonke into.
Isisa asoze siphele. Iziprofeto ziya kutshabalala; isipho seelwimi siza kuyeka kwaye nenzululwazi iya kuthi shwaka.
Ulwazi lwethu alufezekanga kwaye isiprofeto sethu asigqibelelanga.
Kodwa xa kufika okugqibeleleyo, okungagqibelelanga kuya kuthi shwaka.
Oko bendingumntwana, bendithetha njengomntwana, ndicinga ngokomntwana, bendiqiqa ngokomntwana. Kodwa, ndakuba yindoda, ndayeka into awayeyiyo njengomntwana.
Ngoku sibona ngokwasesipilini, ngendlela edidekileyo; oko ke, siya kubona ngobuso. Ngoku ndazi ngokungaphelelanga, kodwa ngelo xesha ndiya kwazi ngokugqibeleleyo, njengoko nam ndisaziwa.
Zintathu ke izinto eziya kuhlala zihleli: lukholo, nethemba, nothando. kodwa eyona nto inkulu luthando!
Salmi 33(32),2-3.4-5.12.22.
Mdumiseni uYehova ngohadi,
Uhadi lwangumtya olishumi.
Mvumeleni ingoma entsha uYehova,
dlala i-zither ngobugcisa kunye nokuvuya.
Ilizwi leNkosi lilungile
Yonke imisebenzi yakhe ithembekile.
Uthanda umthetho nobulungisa,
umhlaba uzele lubabalo lwakhe.
Hayi, uyolo lohlanga oluThixo onguThixo,
abantu abazinyule njengeendlalifa.
Nkosi, ubabalo lwakho malube phezu kwethu,
kuba sithembele kuwe.
Ukusuka kwiVangeli kaYesu Krestu ngokukaLuka 7,31-35.
Ngelo xesha uNdikhoyo wathi:
Khona, ndiya kubafanisa nantoni na ke abantu besi sizukulwana? Bafana nantoni na?
Bayafana naba bantwana bathi, xa bemi ebaleni, bakhwaze omnye komnye: Sidlale imbande, akwadanisa; sasikuculela sikhala kwaye awulili!
Kuba kufike uYohane umbhaptizi engadli sonka, angaseli wayini, nibe nithi, Unedemon.
Uzile uNyana woMntu esidlayo, asele, nithi, Khanibone umntu olidla-kudla, olisela-wayini, umhlobo wababuthi berhafu naboni.
Kodwa ubulumko bugwetyelwe kokusesikweni ngabo bonke abantwana babo.
