UPapa Francis: Isiphambano sisikhumbuza ngemihlatshelo yempilo yobuKristu
UPapa Francis uthe ngeSonto ukuthi isiphambano esisigqokayo noma esilenga odongeni lwethu akumele sibe esokuhlobisa, kodwa sibe yisikhumbuzo sothando lukaNkulunkulu kanye nokuzidela okubandakanyeka empilweni yobuKristu.
"Isiphambano siyisibonakaliso esingcwele sothando lukaNkulunkulu nesibonakaliso somhlatshelo kaJesu, futhi akumele sincishiswe sibe yizinto eziyizinkolelo noma umgexo wokuhlobisa," kusho uPapa enkulumweni yakhe ye-Angelus ngo-Agasti 30.
Ekhuluma esewindini elibheke eSt.Peter's Square, uchaze ukuthi, "ngenxa yalokho, uma sifuna ukuba abafundi [bakaNkulunkulu], sibizelwe ukumlingisa, sichithe izimpilo zethu ngaphandle kokuzibekela uthando ngoNkulunkulu nangomakhelwane."
"Impilo yamaKrestu ihlale ingumzabalazo", kugcizelela uFrancis. "IBhayibheli lithi impilo yekholwa iyimpi: ukulwa nomoya omubi, ukulwa nokubi".
Imfundiso kapapa yayigxile ekufundeni iVangeli losuku kuSt Matthew, lapho uJesu eqala ukwambulela abafundi bakhe ukuthi kufanele aye eJerusalema, ahlupheke, abulawe futhi avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu.
“Ngethemba lokuthi uJesu angahluleka futhi afe esiphambanweni, uPeter uqobo uyamelana naye athi kuye: 'Makube njalo, Nkosi! Lokhu akusoze kwenzeka kuwe! (v. 22) ”, kusho upapa. “Kholwa kuJesu; ufuna ukumlandela, kepha akemukeli ukuthi inkazimulo yakhe izodlula ngothando ".
Uthe “ngoPetru nabanye abafundi - kodwa nakithi! - isiphambano yinto engathandeki, 'ihlazo' ”, enezela ukuthi kuJesu" ihlazo "langempela kungaba ukuphunyuka esiphambanweni nokugwema intando kaBaba," umsebenzi uBaba awuphathise yena ukusindiswa kwethu ".
NgokukaPapa Francis, “ngenxa yalesi sizathu uJesu uphendula uPetru: 'Yana emva kwami, Sathane! Uyihlazo kimi; ngoba awukho ohlangothini lukaNkulunkulu, kodwa owabantu “.
KwiVangeli, uJesu ube esekhuluma nawo wonke umuntu, ebatshela ukuthi ukuze abe ngumfundi wakhe kumele "azidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe angilandele", kuqhubeka upapa.
Uveze ukuthi "emizuzwini eyishumi phambilini" eVangelini, uJesu wayencome uPeter futhi wamthembisa ukuthi uzoba "yidwala" ayesekele kulo iSonto lakhe. Kamuva, umbiza "uSathane".
“Lokhu kungaqondakala kanjani? Kwenzeka kithi sonke! Ngezikhathi zokuzinikela, ukushisekela, ukuthanda okuhle, ukusondelana nomakhelwane, ake sibheke kuJesu futhi siqhubekele phambili; kodwa ngezikhathi lapho kufika isiphambano, siyabaleka, ”kusho yena.
"Usathane, uSathane - njengoba uJesu esho kuPetru - uyasilinga", engeza. "Kungenxa yomoya omubi, kukadeveli ukuziqhelelanisa esiphambanweni, esiphambanweni sikaJesu".
UPapa Francis uchaze izimo zengqondo ezimbili umfundi ongumKristu abizelwe ukuba abe nazo: ukuzilahla yena, okungukuthi, ukuguqula, athathe isiphambano sakhe.
"Akuwona nje umbuzo wokubekezelela izinsizi zansuku zonke ngokubekezela, kodwa ukubekezelela ngokholo nangomthwalo wemfanelo leyo ngxenye yomzamo naleyo ngxenye yokuhlupheka okubandakanya ukulwa nobubi," esho.
"Ngakho-ke umsebenzi 'wokuthatha isiphambano' uba ukubamba iqhaza noKristu ekusindisweni komhlaba," kusho yena. “Uma sicabanga ngalokhu, ake sivumele isiphambano silenga odongeni lwendlu, noma leso esincane esisigqoka ezintanyeni zethu, kube wuphawu lwesifiso sethu sokuhlanganiswa noKristu ekukhonzeni ngothando abafowethu nodadewethu, ikakhulukazi abancane nabantekenteke kakhulu. "
"Njalo lapho sibheka isithombe sikaKristu obethelwe, sicabanga ukuthi yena, njengenceku yeqiniso yeNkosi, wafeza umsebenzi wakhe, wanikela ngempilo yakhe, wachitha igazi lakhe ukuze kuthethelelwe izono," esho, sithandazela ukuthi iNcasakazi uMariya ingenelele "ukusisiza ukuba singahlehli lapho sibhekene nokulingwa nokuhlupheka okufakazelwa ubufakazi beVangeli kithi sonke".
Ngemuva kuka-Angelus, uPapa Francis wagcizelela ukukhathazeka kwakhe "ngezinxushunxushu ezisempumalanga yeMedithera, ezaphazanyiswa ukuqhamuka kokungazinzi okuhlukahlukene". Ukuphawula kwakhe kubhekise ekuxabaneni okukhulayo phakathi kweTurkey neGreece ngemithombo yamandla emanzini empumalanga yeMedithera.
"Ngiyacela, ngincenga izingxoxo ezakhayo nokuhlonipha umthetho wamazwe omhlaba ukuxazulula izingxabano ezisongela ukuthula kwabantu bakuleso sifunda," enxusa.
UFrancis uphinde wakhumbula umgubho ozayo woSuku Lomhlaba Lokukhulekelwa Kokunakekelwa Kwendalo, oluzokwenzeka ngomhlaka 1 Septhemba.
"Kusukela ngalolu suku, kuze kube ngu-Okthoba 4, sizogubha 'iJubili Lomhlaba' nabafowethu abangamaKristu abavela emasontweni nasemasikweni ahlukahlukene, ukukhumbula ukusungulwa kwe-Earth Day, eminyakeni engu-50 edlule," esho.
