Ngabe abesifazane kufanele bashumayele ngobuningi?
Abesifazane bangaletha umbono ofanele futhi oyingqayizivele epulpiti.
Kusekuseni ngoLwesibili weViki Elingcwele. Ngipopola edeskini lami lapho i-imeyili ikhanya esikrinini sekhompyutha. "Uzakwethu homily?" Isho umugqa wesihloko.
Inhliziyo yami yeqa ukushaya.
Ngichofoza umyalezo. Ungqongqoshe owengamele i-Easter Vigil ufuna ukwazi ukuthi ngingakucabanga yini ukusebenza ngomndeni wami. IVangeli likaLuka liphume kulo nyaka: indaba yabesifazane ethuneni.
Indaba yabesifazane abazethule. Indaba yabesifazane abaphikelela kubuhlungu. Indaba yabesifazane abafakazela iqiniso futhi badunyiswa njengabangenangqondo. Indaba yabesifazane abashumayela noma kunjalo.
Ngiphendula ngokushesha, ngijabule futhi ngiyabonga ngalesi simemo esiyimfihlakalo.
"Kungenzeka kanjani?" Ngiyamangala njengoba ngihudula ikiriva eligcwele izincazelo zeGospel ngaphandle komtapo wolwazi.
Impendulo iza ezinsukwini ezilandelayo: izinsuku zigcwele ngomkhuleko kanye namathuba. Ngicwila ngingene embhalweni. I-LGHo divina iba yisihlahla sokuphila kwami. Abesifazane ethuneni baba odadewethu.
NgoLwesihlanu omuhle, ungqongqoshe owengamele futhi siyahlangana ukuqhathanisa amanothi.
Ngemuva kwalokho sishumayeza owasekhaya.
Ekupheleni kwevangeli lomlindelo, uyashiya esihlalweni somphathi wakhe omkhulu. Ngisukuma etafuleni lami. Sihlangana eceleni kwealtare. Emuva naphambili, silandisa indaba yokunqoba kukaJesu phezu kokufa. Ngaseceleni, sishumayela izindaba ezinhle ezaqale zashunyayelwa ngabesifazane eminyakeni eyi-2000 eyedlule: UJesu Kristu wavuswa!
Ngempela, isakhiwo esingcwele siyazamazama ngenjabulo. Kubukeka kungugesi.
Ngiseyingane, ngangizihlalela ngaphambili futhi ngilingisa umpristi phakathi nomkhosi. Ngazifanekisa ngimi ngase-altare ngixoxa izindaba ngoJesu. Angikaze ngibone amantombazane ngemuva kwepulpiti.
Kepha bengilokhu ngibukeka.
Eminyakeni eminingi kamuva, ngangiletha isithakazelo esifanayo kubantu abasebenza esikoleni sokufundela ubufundisi. Lapho ngathandana nayo yonke inqubo yokushumayela: ukuhlafuna imibhalo engcwele, ukulalela imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, ukwenza amagama aphile ngezwi lami. Ipulpiti lakhanga umoya ojulile kimi. Ngangizizwa ngiphila ngokushumayela emithandazweni yasemini nasezinhlelweni. Umphakathi nawo uziqinisekisile izipho zami.
Mhlawumbe yilokho okwenze izinyembezi ezishisayo njalo lapho othile ebuza ngabesifazane abanikela ngemindeni. Ngezwa ukubizwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu nasemphakathini ukuthi ngizokhonza isonto ngale ndlela, kepha ngazizwa ngibambekile. Inkambiso yokuthi ngubani ongashumayela i-homily ibibukeka njengesibhakela esihlanganisiwe esinganwebanga.
Futhi-ke, ngobusuku obunyulu kunabo bonke, wenza.
Kungumsebenzi kabani ukushumayeza abomakhelwane?
Ekugcwalisekeni Ngokuzwa Kwakho, Ingqungquthela Yababhishobhi baseMelika inikeza impendulo ecacile: ungqongqoshe owengamele.
Ukucabanga kwabo kugcizelela ukuxhumana okuhlangene phakathi kokumenyezelwa kweVangeli nokugubha uMthendeleko.
Isimemezelo soMkhandlu Wesibili weVatican ngenkonzo nempilo yabapristi siyaphawula: "Kukhona ubunye obungenakwehlukaniswa ekugubheni iMisa phakathi kokumenyezelwa kokufa nokuvuka kweNkosi, ukuphendula kwabalaleli kanye nomnikelo [weSidlo Sobungcweti] UKristu waqinisekisa isivumelwano esisha egazini lakhe. "
Ngokunikezwa indima yakhe njengomqondisi wezinkonzo, ungqongqoshe owengamele - futhi ungqongqoshe owengamele kuphela - okwazi ukuhlanganisa igama nesakramente emndenini.
Kodwa-ke, imihlangano yokukhonza ihlala njalo izwa amakhaya avela kwamanye amadoda ngaphandle kwesikhonzi esiphethe.
Imiyalelo ejwayelekile yeRoman Missal ithi ungqongqoshe owengamele angabeka umhlangano kumfundisi osafufusa "noma ngezikhathi ezithile, kudikoni" (66).
Lo mgatshana unweba okujwayelekile.
Isonto ligcoba amadikoni anemithwalo yemfanelo ethile yezenkolo. Noma kunjalo, abadikoni abakwazi ukudlala indima ethile yosaziwayo oyinhloko. Ongqongqoshe bakaMongameli bandise lo mthetho noma nini lapho bemema abadikoni ukuba bashumayele ngomhlangano, into ejwayelekile eyenzekayo (ngesizathu esizwakalayo) emabandleni emhlabeni jikelele.
Kungani ukunwetshwa okunjalo okujwayelekile kungenzeki kaningi kwabesifazane, njengalokho okwenzeka kimi e-Easter Vigil?
Ngabe imibhalo ayinazo izindaba ezikhulunywa ngabesifazane abaphatha izwi futhi bashumayele ngovuko?
Isiko lethu lithi amadoda kuphela enziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu?
Ngabe abesifazane abakaze babone ukwakheka kwemfundiso yenkolo?
Ingabe kukhona uhlobo oluthile loMoya omncane oqinisekisa abesifazane ekubhapathizweni futhi asithume ukuba siqinisekise, kodwa angahambi kuze kube sekugcotshweni?
Impendulo yayo yonke le mibuzo ingu "Cha" ozwakala kakhulu.
Njengezinkinga eziningi eSontweni LamaKatolika, ukukhishwa kwabesifazane epulpiti kuyinkinga yezinzalamizi. Kususelwa ekuthandeni kwabaningi esigabeni sabaphathi ukucabanga nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi abesifazane bangalingana ngokuhola kwezwi likaNkulunkulu.
Umbuzo wabesifazane abashumayeza amakhaya ngesikhathi sabantu abaningi uvusa imibuzo ebaluleke kakhulu: ingabe izindaba zabesifazane zibalulekile? Ngabe okuhlangenwe nakho kwabesifazane kubalulekile? Ngabe abesifazane uqobo bayabala?
Ungqongqoshe owengamele waphendula “Yebo” ngesimemo sakhe sobuciko kwi-Easter Vigil. Walandela okujwayelekile ngokushumayela umkhaya. Wabuye wakhulisa izinga ngokumema owesifazane ukuba ashumayele eceleni kwakhe.
Leli yibandla okufanele sizame ukuba yilo: elihlanganayo, elisebenzisanayo, elinesibindi.
Isonto elingakwazi ukuphendula kumazwi athi "Yebo, abesifazane babalulekile" akulona isonto likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, elikhulise amazinga okubandakanya abesifazane enkonzweni yalo. UJesu uxoxa nowesifazane waseSamariya njengoba ayokha amanzi emthonjeni futhi aze amcele nokuphuza. Izenzo zakhe ziyabethusa abafundi. Abaholi besilisa kwakungafanele bakhulume nabesifazane esidlangalaleni: ihlazo! UJesu ukhuluma nabo noma kunjalo.
Ivumela owesifazane owonile ukuthi agcobe izinyawo zakhe. Lesi sinyathelo sibeka engcupheni yokwephula imithetho yokuhlanza. UJesu akagcini nje ngokumisa lo wesifazane, kepha udonsela ukunakekela ekwethembekeni kwakhe nobuntu bakhe lapho ethi kuSimoni: "Nomaphi lapho lezi zindaba ezinhle zishunyayelwa khona emhlabeni wonke, lokho akwenzile kuzotshelwa ekukhunjweni kwakhe" (Mat. 26: 13).
UJesu uyasiqinisekisa isinqumo sikaMariya sokuyeka umsebenzi wobuphathi besifazane futhi ahlale ezinyaweni zakhe, indawo evame ukubekelwa abafundi besilisa. "UMariya ukhethe ingxenye engcono," kusho uJesu ecasukile uMarta (Luka 10:42). Omunye umthetho ophuliwe.
Futhi, komunye wokuhlangana okumangalisa kakhulu emlandweni wesintu, uKristu osanda kuvuka ubonakala okokuqala kuMariya Magdalene. Uyamethemba, umfazi, ngomsebenzi osemqoka ophathiswe osomabhizinisi basekhaya kusukela ngaleso sikhathi: hamba. Tshela izindaba ezimnandi zokuvuka kwami. Bazise abafundi bami ukuthi ngiyaphila kakhulu.
UJesu akavumeli izinkambiso noma imithetho ibambe yena. Futhi akubazibi. Njengoba etshela isixuku, "Angizelanga ukuchitha [umthetho] kodwa ukugcwalisa" (uMathewu 5:17). Izenzo zikaJesu zandisa izinkambiso nokushintsha izinto eziza kuqala ukuze kuzuze umphakathi, ikakhulukazi abancishwe amathuba. Uza ukuzosebenzisa umthetho wokugcina: thanda uNkulunkulu futhi uthande umakhelwane wakho.
Le yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu esiyikhonzayo emfundisweni yoMthendeleko, okuphila kwayo, ukufa nokuvuka kwayo kuphukile emndenini.
Ngabe amazinga angandiswa?
Umkhuba wamanje wezinkolelo nezenzo zikaKristu emiBhalweni zithi "Yebo".
Isonto lingabukeka kanjani ukunweba amazinga alo ukufaka nabesifazane phakathi kwalabo ababekwe icala lokushumayela i-homily?
Akunzima kangako ukucabanga.
