Ama-Guardian Angels: angobani nokuthi adlala yiphi indima eSontweni
Ngingubani?
I-329 St. Augustine ithi: "'Ingelosi' igama lesikhundla sabo, hhayi isimo sabo. Uma ufuna igama lesimo sabo, 'ngumoya', uma ufuna igama lehhovisi labo, 'yingelosi' ': lokho abayikho, 'umoya', kulokhu abakwenzayo, 'ingelosi' ". Ngazo zonke izidalwa zabo izingelosi ziyizinceku nezinceku zikaNkulunkulu. Ngoba "bahlala bebona ubuso bukaBaba osezulwini" yibo "abanamandla enza izwi lakhe, belalela izwi lezwi lakhe".
330 Njengoba izidalwa zokomoya ezimsulwa izingelosi zinobuhlakani nentando: ziyizidalwa ezingabantu futhi ezingenakufa, zidlula zonke izidalwa ezibonakalayo ekupheleleni, njengoba kufakazelwa ubukhazikhazi benkazimulo yazo.
U-Kristu "Nezingelosi zakhe zonke"
331 UKristu uyisikhungo sezwe sezingelosi. Yizingilosi zakhe: "Lapho iNdodana yomuntu iza ngenkazimulo yayo nezingelosi zonke kanye nayo ..." (Mt 25,31: 1). Zingezakhe ngoba zadalwa ngaye futhi zenzelwe yena: "ngoba kuye zonke izinto zidalwe ezulwini nasemhlabeni, ziyabonakala futhi azibonakali, noma ngabe ziyizihlalo zobukhosi noma izifunda noma izikhulu noma iziphathimandla - zonke izinto zadalwa Ngaye futhi ngenxa yakhe ”(Khol 16:1,14). Bangabakhe ngisho nangokwengeziwe ngoba ubenzele izingelosi zecebo Lakhe lokusindiswa: "Azikho yini zonke izikhonzi zomoya ezithunyelwe ukuzokhonza, ukuze kusizakale labo okufanele bathole insindiso?" (Heb. XNUMX:XNUMX).
Izingilosi ezingama-332 bezikhona kusukela ekudalweni nangomlando wokusindiswa, zimemezela lolu sindiso zisuka kude noma eduze futhi zisebenzela ukugcwaliseka kwecebo laphezulu: bavale ipharadesi lasemhlabeni; Inkatho evikelwe; wasindisa uHagari nengane yakhe; Isandla sika-Abrahama sahlala; babedlulisa umthetho ngenkonzo yabo; wahola abantu bakaNkulunkulu; yamemezela ukuzalwa nezingcingo; futhi sasiza abaphurofethi, ukubiza nje izibonelo ezimbalwa. Ekugcineni, ingelosi uGabriyeli yamemezela ukuzalwa kuka-Precursor kanye noJesu ngokwakhe.
333 Ukusuka Emgudwini Wokuya Ekuphakameni, impilo yeZwi elingumzimba izungezwe ukuhanjiswa kanye nenkonzo yezingelosi. Lapho uNkulunkulu "eletha izibulo emhlabeni, uthi:" Zonke izingelosi zikaNkulunkulu ziyamkhuleka "" (Heb 1: 6). Ingoma yabo yokudumisa ngokuzalwa kukaKristu ayiphelanga ekudumiseni iBandla: "Udumo malube kuNkulunkulu ophakeme kakhulu!" (Lk 2: 14). Vikela uJesu ebuntwaneni bakhe, bamkhonza ogwadule, bamqinisa ebuhlungu bakhe engadini, lapho ayengasindiswa ngabo ezandleni zezitha zakhe njengoba no-Israyeli ayenzile. Futhi, yizingilosi "ezishumayela ivangeli" ngokumemezela Izindaba Ezinhle Zokungeniswa Kokuvuka KukaKristu. Bayoba khona ekubuyeni kukaKristu, abazokumemezela khona, ukuzokhonza isahlulelo Sakhe.
Izingelosi empilweni yeBandla
334 ... Impilo yonke yeBandla iyasizakala ngosizo oluyimfihlakalo nolunamandla lwezingelosi.
335 Kwincwadi yakhe, iSonto lihlangana nezingelosi ukukhuleka uNkulunkulu ngokungcwele kathathu. Cela usizo lwabo (kwincwadi yamaRoma esetshenziselwa ukwengeza ohlwini lwezincwadi zamaRoma rogamus ... ["Somandla uNkulunkulu, siyakhuleka kungilosi yakho ..."], emngcwabeni iLiturgy In Paradisum deducant te angeli ... ["Kwangathi izingelosi zikuqondise ezulwini ..."]. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ku- "Cherubic Hymn" ye-Byzantine Liturgy, igubha inkumbulo yezinye izingelosi ikakhulukazi (iSan Michele, iSan Gabriele, iSan Raffaele kanye nezingelosi zokugada).
336 Kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo kuze kube sekufeni, impilo yomuntu izungezwe ukunakekelwa nokunakekela kwabo ngokucophelela. "Ngaphandle kwekholwa ngalinye kukhona ingelosi njengomvikeli nomelusi omholela empilweni" (San Basilio). Kakade lapha emhlabeni impilo yobuKristu ihlanganyela ngokukholwa enkampanini ebusisiwe yezingelosi namadoda ahlanganiswe nguNkulunkulu.
Ngamafuphi: izingelosi ezingama-350 ziyizidalwa ezingokomoya ezikhazimulisa uNkulunkulu ngokungaguquki futhi ezisebenzela amasu akhe okusindisa ezinye izidalwa: "Izingelosi zisebenzisana ukuze kusizakale konke thina" (ISt. Thomas Aquinas, STh I, 114, 3 , isikhangiso 3).
351 Izingelosi zizungeze uKristu iNkosi yazo. Basebenzela yena ikakhulukazi ekufezekiseni komsebenzi wakhe we-salvific emadodeni.
352 ISonto linikeza izingelosi ezimsiza ekuhambeni kwakhe kwasemhlabeni futhi zivikele wonke umuntu wakhona.
