UKristu Pontiff uyisihlawulelo sethu
Kanye ngonyaka umpristi ophakeme, eshiya abantu ngaphandle, ungena endaweni lapho isihlalo somusa sikhona namakherubi kuso. Faka indawo lapho kunomphongolo wesivumelwano ne-altare lempepho. Akukho muntu ovunyelwe ukungena ngaphandle kukaPapa.
Manje uma ngicabanga ukuthi uPapa wami weqiniso, iNkosi uJesu Kristu, owayephila enyameni, unyaka wonke "wayenabantu, lowo" nyaka, lowo yena ngokwakhe athi: INkosi yangithuma ukushumayela izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu , ukumemezela unyaka womusa weNkosi kanye nosuku lokuxolelwa (cf. Lk 4, 18-19) Ngiyaqaphela ukuthi ungena kanye kuphela kulo nyaka, okungukuthi, ngosuku lokubuyisana, endaweni engcwelengcwele, okusho ukuthi, esewufezile umsebenzi wakhe, ungena ezulwini futhi uzibeka phambi kukaBaba ukumenza alungele isintu, futhi athandazele bonke labo abakholelwa kuye.
Ngokwazi lesi sihlengo enza ngaso uYise abe nomusa kubantu, umphostoli uJohane uthi: Lokhu ngiyakusho, bantabami, ngoba asoni. Kepha noma siwele esonweni, sinoMmeli kuBaba, olungileyo uJesu Kristu, futhi yena uqobo uyisihlawulelo sezono zethu (cf 1 Jn 2: 1).
Kepha Pawula ubuye asikhumbule lesicondziso ngesikhatsi atsi ngaKhristu: Nkulunkulu wambeka waba yinhlawulo egazini lakhe ngekukholwa (cf Rom 3:25). Ngakho-ke usuku lokubuyisana luzohlala kithi kuze kuphele umhlaba.
Izwi laphezulu lithi: Futhi uzobeka impepho emlilweni phambi kweNkosi, futhi umusi wempepho uzomboza isihlalo somusa esiphezu komphongolo wesivumelwano, futhi ngeke afe, futhi uzothatha igazi ithole, futhi ngomunwe wakhe uyokuhlakaza esihlalweni somusa ohlangothini olusempumalanga (cf. Lv 16, 12-14).
Wafundisa amaHeberu asendulo ukuthi angabungazwa kanjani umkhuba wokuhlawulela abantu, okwenziwa kuNkulunkulu.Kodwa wena owavela kuPontiff weqiniso, kuKristu, owakwenza ngegazi lakhe wakwenza waba nguNkulunkulu ozifunayo futhi wakubuyisana noBaba, awuzange yima egazini lenyama, kepha esikhundleni salokho funda ukwazi igazi leZwi, futhi ulalele lowo othi kuwe: "Leli igazi lami lesivumelwano, elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi, ukuze kuthethelelwe izono" (Mt 26 : 28).
Akubonakali kuyimbudane kuwe ukuthi isakazeke ohlangothini olusempumalanga. Inhlawulo yeza kuwe ivela empumalanga. Eqinisweni, kusuka lapho kukhona umuntu onegama laseMpumalanga, futhi osephenduke umlamuleli kaNkulunkulu nabantu. Ngakho-ke, umenyelwa lokhu ukuthi uhlale ubheke empumalanga, lapho ilanga lobulungiswa liphuma kuwe, lapho ukukhanya kuvela khona kuwe njalo, ukuze ungalokothi uhambe ebumnyameni, noma lolo suku lokugcina lungakumangazi ebumnyameni. Ukuze ubusuku nobumnyama bokungazi bungakunyonyobeli; ukuze uhlale uzithola usekukhanyeni kolwazi, nasosukwini olukhanyayo lokholo futhi njalo uthole ukukhanya kwesisa senhliziyo nokuthula.
