IVangeli kaSeptemba 11, 2018
Ileta yokuqala kaSt. Paul the Apostle ukuya kwabaseKorinte 6,1-11.
Bazalwana, ngaba kukho phakathi kwenu abathi, benokubuza omnye komnye, abe nobuganga bokugwetywa ngabangemalungisa kunokuba ngabangcwele?
Anazi na ukuba abangcwele aba baya kuligweba ihlabathi? Kwaye ukuba kungenxa yakho yokuba ihlabathi ligwetywe, ngaba ke awufanelanga izigwebo ezingabalulekanga?
Ngaba awazi ukuba siya kugweba iingelosi? Kobeka phi na ke kwizinto zobu bomi?
Ke ukuba niyaphikisana ngezinto zeli hlabathi, ngaba nithatha abantu abangenagunya ebandleni ukuba babe ngabagwebi?
Nditsho ukuze nidane. Ukuze kungabikho mntu ulumkileyo phakathi kwenu onokumlamla umzalwana nomntakwabo?
Hayi, ngokuchaseneyo, umzalwana ubizelwa ematyaleni ngumzalwana wakhe nangaphezulu phambi kwabangakholwayo!
Kwaye ukutsho ukuba sele ikoyisile ukuba nibe neengxabano macala onke! Kutheni ungakhe uthwaxwe kokungekho sikweni? Kutheni kunoko ungazivumeli ukuba ulahlekelwe zizinto onazo?
Endaweni yoko, nguwe owenza okungekho sikweni uyeba, kwaye oku kubazalwana!
Anazi na, ukuba abangemalungisa abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo? Musani ukulahlekiswa: abenza umbulo, nabakhonzi bezithixo, nabakrexezi,
Amadoda angamadoda angamadoda, okanye amanyala, namasela, namabawa, namanxila, nabanyelisi, nabaphangi abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo.
Naye ninjalo ke inxenye yenu; kuloko nahlanjululwayo, kuloko nangcwaliswayo, kuloko nagwetyelwayo egameni leNkosi uYesu Kristu, nangoMoya kaThixo wethu!
Salmi 149(148),1-2.3-4.5-6a.9b.
Mvumeleni ingoma entsha uYehova,
Indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.
Vuya uSirayeli kuMdali wawo,
Oonyana beZiyon mababe nokugcoba ngukumkani wabo.
Mdumiseni igama lakhe,
Amaculo kunye neengoma ezihombisa iingoma.
INkosi iyabathanda abantu bayo,
Bathobeleni abathembekileyo, uloyiso.
Mabavuye abo bathembekileyo,
ngovuyo bavuke kwiibhedi zabo.
Iindumiso zikaThixo emilonyeni yabo:
Lulo uzuko kubo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe.
Ukusuka kwiVangeli kaYesu Krestu ngokukaLuka 6,12-19.
Ngezo ntsuku, uYesu waya entabeni ukuya kuthandaza kwaye wachitha ubusuku ethandaze.
Kwakusa, wababizela kuye abafundi bakhe, wanyula abalishumi elinababini, wabathiya igama lokuba ngabapostile:
USimone, obize uPietro, uAndrea umntakwabo, uGiacomo, uGiovanni, uFilippo, uBartolomeo,
UMateyu, uTomas, uYakobi ka-Alifeyu, uSimon ogama linguZelot;
UYuda kaYakobi noYuda Sikariyoti, owayengumngcatshi.
Wehla nabo, wema kwindawo ethe tyaba. Kwaye kukho indimbane enkulu yabafundi bakhe, nenkitha enkulu yabantu, bevela kulo lonke elakwaYuda, naseYerusalem, nakunxweme lwaseTire neTsidon,
ababezele ukumva baze baphiliswe kwizifo zabo; nabangcungcuthekiswa ngoomoya abangcolileyo baphiliswa.
Isihlwele sonke sazama ukumchukumisa, kuba kwaphuma kuye amandla okuphilisa wonke umntu.
